The Individual and Tradition
Profiles of artists and performers from around the world form the basis of this innovative volume that explores the many ways individuals engage with, carry on, revive, and create tradition. Leading scholars in folklore studies consider how the field has addressed the connections between performer and tradition and examine theoretical issues involved in fieldwork and the analysis and dissemination of scholarship in the context of relationships with the performers. Honoring Henry Glassie and his remarkable contributions to the field of folklore, these vivid case studies exemplify the best of performer-centered ethnography.

Peril to the Nerve
For half a century the New Orleans Academy of Ophthalmology has been dedicated to providing an annual in-depth evaluation of an important clinical topic in ophthalmology. These symposia have always been a combination of relevant clinical thought, based on outstanding knowledge, and current research. In 1996 this tradition was continued with the symposium "Peril to the Nerve - Ophthalmology". From the latest discussions in the literature to provocative round tables and clinical controversy presentations, the participants discussed clinically useful topics in these fields. The panelists in the glaucoma segment were Drs Michael Kass, Donald Minckler, Paul Palmberg, Harry Quigley, George Spaeth and Thom Zimmerman; those in the neuro-ophthalmology section were Drs Ronald M.Burde, Joel S. Glazer and Normal J. Schatz. This volume contains the updated papers and reports of the round table discussions at this meeting. It can be considered a "state-of-the-art" publication.
