As scientific analysis of testable hypotheses has replaced the speculative approach to study of bone disease in recent and fossil amphibians and reptiles, the field has advanced from simply reporting observations to analyzing their implications. This process is predicated upon a reproducible data base which explains/diagnoses the nature of bony alterations and a secure review of the literature. Thereby hangs the rub. The herpetological literature are difficult to access (let alone read) and are scattered through many prominent and eclectic journals and in the lay literature. While older diagnoses often have not stood the test of time, the clarity of report descriptions usually allows confident identification of the underlying pathology.

Inghilterra, 1805 Da qualche settimana a Richmond sta succedendo qualcosa di strano: ragazze madri finite nei guai con la legge che non scontano la pena, piccoli ladruncoli che evadono dalle case di correzione... Preoccupati da tale interferenza, che minaccia di pregiudicare le loro opere di bene, i membri del Consiglio Parrocchiale della cittadina chiedono a un loro rappresentante, Lord Nicholas Elyot, di indagare. Il giovane gentiluomo sospetta subito dell'incantevole Lady Amelie, da poco trasferitasi a Richmond, ma per incastrarla deve agire con discrezione. Senza dubbio la strategia migliore è fingersi innamorato e starle vicino per cercare indizi contro di lei. Il suo piano, però, si trasforma ben presto in qualcosa di molto, molto diverso.
This book is the first scholarly account of how lost wax casting was forgotten and rediscovered around the world thanks to transmission of know-how by Italian founders in the late nineteenth century. Against this backdrop, Medardo Rosso, an Italian sculptor living in Paris, overturned rules of the technique through creative approaches to serial reproduction. His unusual casts prefigured experiments in casting in the modern era. The volume includes art-historical essays by distinguished scholars on the revival of lost wax casting in different countries and a case study of Rosso’s Bambino ebreo series, including scientific analysis and conservation studies. Podcast interview with Sharon Hecker about this book: #HumanitiesMatter - Remodeling a Lost Wax Technique: The Methods of Medardo Rosso (brill.com).
Composer, critic, author, and radio personality, (Joseph) Deems Taylor (1885-1966) was one of the most influential figures in American culture from the 1920s through the 1940s. A self-taught composer, the New York City native wrote such pieces as the orchestral suite Through the Looking Glass and the acclaimed operas The King's Henchman and Peter Ibbetson, the first commissions ever offered by the Metropolitan Opera. Taylor's operatic works were among the most popular and widely performed of his day, yet he achieved greatest fame and recognition as the golden-voiced intermission commentator for the New York Philharmonic radio broadcasts and as the on-screen host of Walt Disney's classic film...
