Language Stone
Meira McMahon is being pursued by governments, churches, and ruthless oil producers as she uncovers the technology of a people who enjoyed lives of peace and longevity beyond our dreams. The galloping pace of this rip roaring novel would leave you gasping in its wake were it not so compelling as to prevent you from loosing your grip upon it. At the end of it all, when you have followed our heroine down the Nile, through war-torn Iraq, into the Hindu Kush, and down a thousand miles of the muddy Mekong while dark forces from London to Beijing plot and scheme to silence her, you are left with questions: Why would anything so simple as a concaved mirror be considered a dangerous weapon in some societies? Why, when you can cut stone easily, and extremely accurately with concentrated sunlight, was it never offered up as an explanation as to how the pyramids were constructed? Why do western nations waste thousand of lives and squander hundreds of billions of dollars on a war for oil when for less than half that money, and no risk to human life, they could make solar furnaces that would furnish their energy needs for time immemorial?

The contributions illustrate the multi-dimensionality, linguistic make-up, and the special interactive potential of wordplay across linguistic and cultural boundaries, including the challenging practice of translation.
Constitutional Politics
What does it mean to have a constitution? Scholars and students associated with Walter Murphy at Princeton University have long asked this question in their exploration of constitutional politics and judicial behavior. These scholars, concerned with the making, maintenance, and deliberate change of the Constitution, have made unique and significant contributions to our understanding of American constitutional law by going against the norm of court-centered and litigation-minded research. Beginning in the late 1970s, this new wave of academics explored questions ranging from the nature of creating the U.S. Constitution to the philosophy behind amending it. In this collection, Sotirios A. Barb...
