Some reprints, most first editions.Current Anthropology, whose first issue was launched in 1959, is one of the discipline's oldest and most distinguished journals, and has been sponsored since its founding by the Wenner-Gren Foundation. The journal was the first of its kind, championing an interdisciplinary approach alongside a commitment to international dialogue, while fostering a community of international scholars. It became known for its innovative format that combined major research papers with responses solicited from the field. The format, now known as the "CA treatment" was unique in its time and was copied by other journals such as Behavioral and Brain Sciences. While the journal has changed over the years, its original principles are still clearly present and can be traced back to the unique collaboration between the Foundation, led by Paul Fejos,and the anthropologist Sol Tax (University of Chicago). Fejos and Tax first worked together as organizers of a state of the art conference on Meso-American ethnology in 1949. Tax edited the volumes that resulted from this meeting. During the next decade, as the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health in the United States directed their considerable resources towards the funding of large-scale research projects. Fejos explored alternative avenues to expand the reach and impact of the Foundation on the discipline. One shift was to direct funding towards activities that fostered international communication: meetings, with their subsequent publications, would encourage contacts among scholars and permit them to share their knowledge on a worldwide scale. With this in mind, Fejos organized an International Symposium on Anthropology in 1952 whose aim was to take a total inventory of the field and through this help the Foundation to set up new directions for funding. With this in mind, Fejos convened over 80 participants and the final proceedings (some 50 papers and transcripts of lengthy discussions) appeared in 1953 in two edited volumes published by University of Chicago Press: Anthropology Today: An Encyclopedic Inventory, A.L. Kroeber (ed.); and An Appraisal of Anthropology Today, Sol Tax, Loren Eiseley, Irving Rouse, and Carl Voegelin (eds.). With the success of this symposium and its volumes, Fejos decided to condense and update the findings into a volume published by the Foundation in 1955 as "The Yearbook of Anthropology." Inspired by this output, but frustrated by the logistics of publication, in 1957 Fejos invited Sol Tax to develop a plan that could enable worldwide exchange of ideas to continue, but which would be more immediate and flexible. While he had initially thought of publishing updates to the "Anthropology Today" proceedings in a series of books, he was adamant about the need to consult with anthropologists around the world and see what larger consensus might emerge. Intensive discussions began across the globe: Tax traveled to over 30 countries and organized a series of conferences at the Foundation in New York City. He continued to imagine the initiative primarily as a type of yearbook summarizing the current state of research until 1958. This changed after Burg Wartenstein was inaugurated by the Foundation. Its first scholarly event was a symposium dedicated to exploring new ideas for Current Anthropology. Tax, Fejos and twelve invited scholars gathered, and Tax's innovations were consolidated into a proposal that continues to represent the backbone of the journal to this day. Current Anthropology was to be a journal, not a yearbook. It was to address a worldwide community of anthropologists, and its goal would be to represent and unify the "anthropological sciences" by presenting articles across the discipline. Importantly, Tax envisioned a community of scholars rather then a representation of national traditions. The journal's purpose would not be to compete with national or specialist periodicals but, rather, to complement them by conveying knowledge to a broader inter­disciplinary audience, including scholars from related social sciences and from the humanities. The journal would be a communication bridge, reliable and fast. Its content would include major reviews of broad scope, often summarizing new research, and all subdisciplines and scholarly traditions would be welcome. The journal also was to include current news, reference materials, conference reports, bibliographical guides and a classified section. The first issue was mailed in September 1959an enormous achievement in a short time, and one that proved Tax's commitment and energy. Along with its wide-ranging content, a newly created network of associates enabled the journal to reach a worldwide community of scholars. Tax began by inviting some 3000 individuals to join as associates. Associates were mailed each issue, and could respond to its content via a tear-reply letter addressed to the editor's office. In January 1960, Tax received 1,000 replies, validating his sense that anthropologists wanted a dialogue. By 1962, there were almost 2,500 associates, and 1,467 resided outside of North America. Associates contributed to the direction of the journal: they could nominate others, provide suggestions for articles, respond to what was published, and contribute with reviews, conference proceedings and commentaries. Through his duration as editor, Tax wrote regular letters to the associates, and would publish their replies as well. In this way, the journal mimicked some of the functions of a newsletter, and fulfilled the larger goals of communication and networking. Associates were asked to pay an annual fee, equivalent of $2 per individual associate (higher for institutions), and in countries with currency restrictions (such as in Eastern Europe) money was left in the country to be used for CA associated expenses. To encourage payment, The Viking Fund Publications also sponsored by the Foundation were added as a bonus to paying subscribers. Since its inception, the Wenner-Gren Foundation has sponsored Current Anthropology in different ways. After much deliberation, Current Anthropology kept English as its main language. However, submissions were (and still are) accepted in other languages, and all accepted items are fully edited and translated. In its earliest years, the journal offered, on the inside front cover, summaries of its submissions in different languages, including Arabic, French, German, Hindi , Russian and Serbo-Croatian. While more submissions come from North America then elsewhere and debate continues as to how to increase international submissions, Current Anthropology's forum-oriented method has proven fruitful. While the journal no longer relies on a network of associates, it continues an editorial policy that dates back to its early days, when associates were asked to comment on major research articles, and editors solicited responses to articles from the worldwide community.

Now she and her ev il art-rock band are back, and they're getting Scott's band to op en a show two days from now! That's just enough time for Scott to fight Todd, keep Ramona happy, fend off demented ex-girlfriends, and practice that new setlist. Right?? Don't miss the latest cha pter in the graphic novel saga The Globe and Mail calls Canada's answer to Tank Girl! Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly O 'Malley's cult-favorite series about a Canadian slacker attemptin g to defeat his crush-object's seven evil ex-boyfriends is the we irdest, funniest and coolest Western variation on the manga aesth etic to date, and the third volume is even more hilarious than th e first twomostly because O'Malley's running gags are the kind th at improve with repetition. At their core, the Scott Pilgrim book s are outrageous allegories for coming to terms with a partner's former romantic relationships. This time, Scott's pitted against Todd Ingram, the current boyfriend of his ex, rock star Envy Adam s; they battle at a discount department store and a rock club. Un fortunately, Todd's got psychic powers, because he's a vegan (gra duated top of his class from vegan academy and everything), and h e's also a much better bass player. On top of that, Scott's band, Sex BobOmb, can't quite get it together; 17-year-old ninja Knive s Chau is still obsessed with him; and the mysterious Ramona Flow ers is becoming envious of Envy. O'Malley's story zooms through i ts slalom-course plot, peppered with delectably witty dialogue, a nd he pulls in wild ideas and images from manga, role-playing gam ing (Ramona's hipster handbag is actually a subspace suitcase fro m which she draws a large hammer, +2 against girls) and video gam es.

All rights reserved. Mountainview, despite its pleasant name, was one of the tough are as of Dublin. Some of the big estates were home to drug dealers a nd it wasn't a place to walk alone at night. The school had its u ps and downs, but it was lucky enough to have a headmaster, Tony O'Brien, who could deal with toughness head-on.Some of the older teachers found the change difficult. Things used to be different. The place had been shabby but they'd had respect. The children c ame from homes where money was short, but they were all keen to m ake something of themselves. Today they only cared about money, a nd if someone's big brother was driving a smart car and wearing a n expensive leather jacket, it was hard to get interested in havi ng a job in a bank or an office where you might never make enough to have your own house or car and a leather jacket was just a dr eam. No wonder so many of them joined gangs. And as for respect?A idan Dunne told his wife, Nora, all about it.Big fellows would pu sh past you in the corridor and sort of nudge the books out of yo ur hand. Then they would laugh and say that sir must be losing hi s grip. Aidan remembered when they would rush to pick up the book s. Not now. Now they called him Baldy, or asked him if he remembe red the First World War.It was the same with the women teachers. If they weren't married, some of the really rough fellows would a sk them were they frigid or lesbian. If they were married, they w ould ask them how many times a night did they do it.And what do y ou say? Nora wondered.I try to ignore them. I tell myself that th ey're only insecure kids like always-it's just they have a differ ent way of expressing it. Still, it doesn't make the day's work a ny easier.And how do the women cope?The younger ones are on top o f it, they say things like, 'Oh, you'd never be able to satisfy m e like my old man does,' or else that, sure, they are gay because the only alternative is horrible spotty boys with filthy fingern ails. Aidan shook his head. By the time I get to the classroom I' m worn out, he said sadly.Why don't you give it up? Nora said sud denly. She taught Italian at an evening class and organized a yea rly outing to Italy for the group. She had several other small jo bs, but she had no interest in money or pensions or the future. S he sat in one of the basket chairs she had bought at a garage sal e and tried to persuade Aidan to join her in this carefree lifest yle.But he was a worrier. It would be idiotic to leave his school now several years before retirement date. It would mean no prope r pension; if he were to amount to anything he had to provide for Nora and his family from an earlier marriage.Oh, you've well pro vided for them, Nora said cheerfully.You've given Nell most of th e money you got for the house, Grania is married to the headmaste r of Mountainview School, Brigid has been made a partner in the t ravel agency. They should be providing for you, if you come to th ink of it.But you, Nora, what about you? I want to look after you , give you some comfort and pleasures.You give me great comfort a nd pleasures, she said.But some security, Nora, he pleaded.I neve r had security before, I don't want it now.I have to finish out m y time there.Not if you don't like it. What about this lovely lif e we promised each other and we have mainly had?It depends on my having a good safe job, Nora, he said.No-it doesn't. Not if it's making you worry, and panic about these louts. We don't need it, Aidan. Not if it's affecting your health.It's not affecting my he alth, Aidan said firmly.A week later Aidan and Nora were in one o f their favorite secondhand bookshops; they were each browsing se parately when she suddenly looked over at him. His hand was at hi s throat and he seemed to be having difficulty catching his breat h.Aidan? she called.Sorry, is it very stuffy in here?No, indeed-t here's a lazy wind coming in from the canal.A lazy wind? he asked distractedly.You know-a wind that doesn't bother to make the tim e to go round you so it goes through you . . . Nora smiled.He did n't smile back.She was alarmed now. Is there something wrong?I do n't seem to be able to breathe in, he said. Oh, Nora, dear Nora, I hope that I'm not going to faint or anything.No, of course you' re not. Just sit down there. She was brisk and practical. First, she spoke to the shop owner.Where's the nearest hospital? she ask ed.St. Brigid's. Is there a problem?I think my husband is having some kind of seizure. Taxi rank?Don't bother. I'll drive you, he said.Nora didn't question it. There would be time to thank him la ter.Right, Aidan, Dara is giving us a lift, she said.Where to? he gasped.To somewhere that will help you breathe properly, my darl ing, she said.And he closed his eyes in relief.At the A&E in St. Brigid's the nurses moved him wordlessly into a cubicle. They had given him oxygen and the house doctor had been called.Take off h is trousers, the doctor said.What? Nora was taken aback.Please, m adam. The Chinese doctor was very courteous. His lungs are floode d, we need to drain the liquid from him, we have to put him on a catheter . . .Nora explained this to Aidan.That's extraordinary-I don't feel as if I need to go to the loo at all, he said.The oxy gen was helping. He was much calmer. Nora looked at a huge contai ner and saw it filling up with what looked like gallons of fluid. How could that happen? she asked.The heart is failing to pump, th e Chinese doctor explained.He is in heart failure at the moment.N ora felt all the strength leave her body. The good, kind man that she adored and who loved her too had a heart that had failed him . Life as they knew it was over.In about an hour Aidan felt so mu ch better he was ready to come home. He was surprised when he hea rd that they were getting a bed for him in St. Brigid's.But I'm p erfectly fine now, he protested.Nora went home for his pajamas, d ressing gown and a sponge bag. She remained calm and reassuring o n the outside, but inside she felt that she had lost the will to live.The next few days passed in a blur: visits from teams of sen ior doctors, their younger assistants with clipboards, nurses, ca rers, cleaners, trolleys of food. Visitors coming in with anxious faces. And among them was Nora Dunne, tall, wild-eyed, her long red hair with its gray streaks tied back with a black ribbon.She sat beside Aidan's bed and they played chess happily together. If people had been watching them closely they would have noticed th at they never talked about household things, bills, repairs, shop ping. They didn't talk about neighbors or family or friends. They just lived for each other. And if people had been watching very carefully they would have realized that Nora was behaving like a robot. She was keeping the show on the road for Aidan.When he was discharged after a week they talked to him seriously about level s of stress in his life. When he told them about life up at the s chool, the cardiologist advised him to give up the job. Aidan wou ldn't even consider discussing it. He would take his medication, he would take long rests each day. But he would not give up his j ob. It was the only thing he had to offer his wife, some stabilit y. He had not been a good provider. There had been other calls on his finances. A previous family. No, in all honor he had to stay on until his pension was assured.The medical team spoke to Nora too and found her hard to fathom. Over and over she said she wasn 't remotely interested in possessions or pensions. They lived in a small and simple rented flat. She could easily go out to work a nd make the rent. Their needs were not great.So will you encourag e him to retire? the cardiologist suggested.No, not if he doesn't want to, Doctor. Why should I stand between him and what he want s to do? Aidan always loved teaching. He would feel such a failur e if we took him out of that school.Could he not teach at home? G ive private tuition, maybe?No. Aidan doesn't approve of people ha ving to pay for extra education. We couldn't ask him to go agains t his principles.But you are such a strong personality, Mrs. Dunn e. I am sure that you could persuade him.I'm sure I could if I tr ied-but it would not be honest to make him give up what he truly wants to do.Even if it's killing him?But he's going to die anyway , isn't he?We all are, but with care he has plenty of life left.N ora's face was still empty. A life of fear and anxiety and thinki ng that choking will return.We can help him make sure that it doe sn't. As sure as can be.Which isn't totally sure, is it? Her voic e was hard.No, no more than we can be sure that you won't both be hit by a bus on your way home. But we have a very good record in keeping people alive and well and in normal life after a heart a ttack. Your husband will be in that number. We have referred him to a heart failure clinic which he will have to attend regularly. It's a heart clinic attached to this hospital. Patients go there to be monitored, to have blood tests, check their medication.And why do you call it heart failure?Because that's what their heart s are doing: failing to work at the optimum levels.And Aidan has to come here every week, is that it?To start with, yes. Then as h e progresses, less often. He will findit a great reassurance.Nora was silent.Truly he will, Mrs. Dunne. All our research has shown that it makes people much more confident and positive, which is exactly what they need at this time.And is it funded by a drug co mpany? Do they do experiments on the patients?Absolutely not. It is operated under the aegis of this hospital and we are very prou d of it. He bristled with resentment at her suspicions.I'm sorry, Doctor. To you Aidan is a patient you are looking after. To me h e is my whole life. I'm not thinking straight.He will need you to think straight now more than ever before, the doctor said. Clear ly, this woman had to be brought on board.Go to the heart clinic with him, get to know the people there; you may both get a lot fr om it.For the first time, the tight, pained look left Nora Dunne' s face.She was a handsome woman, the doctor realized.We'll give i t a chance, she said with a hint of a smile.Excerpted from HEART AND SOUL by Maeve Binchy Copyright © 2009 by Maeve Binchy.
