Semantic Memory for Olfaction and Vision in Patients with Alzheimers's Disease, Huntington's Disease, and Normal Individuals
Semantic memory has been shown to deteriorate in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), presumably due to damage to the neocortical structures, specifically the association cortices of the temporal lobes (Terry & Katzman, 1983). Patients with Huntington's disease (HD), however, do not show the same pattern of semantic memory deficits, possibly since the greatest brain damage is found in the striatum. AD and HD patients show deficits on a variety of olfactory tasks, but their pattern of performance differs somewhat, especially for odor memory. Given that AD patients show impaired semantic memory and olfactory functioning, it was hypothesized that semantic memory for olfaction would be compro...

Peaks of Yemen I Summon
In this first full-scale ethnographic study of Yemeni tribal poetry, Steven Caton reveals an astonishingly rich folkloric system where poetry is both a creation of art and a political and social act. Almost always spoken or chanted, Yemeni tribal poetry is cast in an idiom considered colloquial and "ungrammatical," yet admired for its wit and spontaneity. In Yemeni society, the poet has power over people. By eloquence the poet can stir or, if his poetic talents are truly outstanding, motivate an audience to do his bidding. Yemeni tribesmen think, in fact, that poetry's transformative effect is too essential not to use for pressing public issues. Drawing on his three years of field research i...
