Speech Genres and Other Late Essays presents six short works from Bakhtin's Esthetics of Creative Discourse, published in Moscow in 1979. This is the last of Bakhtin's extant manuscripts published in the Soviet Union. All but one of these essays (the one on the Bildungsroman) were written in Bakhtin's later years and thus they bear the stamp of a thinker who has accumulated a huge storehouse of factual material, to which he has devoted a lifetime of analysis, reflection, and reconsideration.

"Humic substances may not be beautiful, but they do beautiful things." Furthermore, these richly carbon-endowed polymers are among nature's least understood materials. Twenty papers from the second Humic Substances [HSs] Seminar held March 27, 1998 at Northeastern U., Boston, delve into the multiple roles of HSs as acid-base buffers; binders to metals, molecules, ions, clay, and other polymers; water retainers (in the solid state); and catalysts and regulators in all life forms. Topics include: progress toward characterizing the properties of HSs, humic and fulvic acids in litter decomposition and composting, the implications for biological activity of the generation of free radicals by humic acid, HSs for enhancing turfgrass growth, and the humic acid solution to the greenhouse gas dilemma.
