Early's art is too sophisticated for that, combining as it does the subtle with the charged, street idiom with elegant inversions, harsh images with witty asides. As The Kenyon Review wrote of an earlier volume: It's no easy thing for an African-American poet to find langua...

This beautiful book examines the first century of Navajo and Pueblo metal jewelry-making in the American Southwest. Beginning in the late 1860s, the region's native peoples learned metalworking and united it with a traditon of beads and ornaments made from turquoise and other natural materials. The cross-cultural appeal of this jewelry continued into the mid-1900s, and by the 1950s and 1960s masters created a legacy of fine art jewelry that is...

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Der Einsatz von Stahlkonstruktionen zur Erstellung von Gebäuden, die brandschutztechnische Anforderungen erfüllen müssen, ist sehr unwirtschaftlich, weil sie für den Brandfall nicht realitätsnahe bemessen werden können.

Contemporary literary theory takes truth and meaning to be dependent on shared conventions in a community of discourse and views authors' intentions as irrelevant to interpretation. This view, argues Reed Way Dasenbrock, owes much to Anglo-American analytic philosophy as developed in the 1950s and 1960s by such thinkers as Austin and Kuhn, but it ignores more recent work by philosophers like Davidson and Putnam, who have mounted a counterattac...

By arguing against making tolerance as fundamental a value as individual autonomy, and extending the reach of liberalism to global society, it opens the way for dealing more adequately with problems of human rights and economic inequality in a world of cultural pluralism.
