This work chronicles the story of 400 young men who willingly and knowingly sacrificed themselves to save the Continental Army at the Battle of Long Island on August 27, 1776. Holding back 20,000 British and Hessian soldiers, they allowed their comrades to retreat and may have saved the Revolution from immediate defeat. This exhaustively researched account introduces the reader to the background of the battle and the stories of the individuals who fought that day, and includes biographies with extensive quoted material in addition to a general historic overview.
The first monograph to analyze the Surrealist gesture of photographic appropriation, this study examines "found" photographs in three French Surrealist reviews published in the 1920s and 1930s: La R?lution surr?iste, edited by Andr?reton; Documents, edited by Georges Bataille; and Minotaure, edited by Breton and others. The book asks general questions about the production and deployment of meaning through photographs, but addresses more specifically the construction of a Surrealist practice of photography through the gesture of borrowing and re-contextualization and reveals something crucial both about Surrealist strategies and about the way photographs operate. The book is structured around four case studies, including scientific photographs of an hysteric in Charcot's clinic at the Salp?i? hospital, positioned as poetry rather than pathology; and one of the first crime-scene photographs, depicting Jack the Ripper's last victim, radically transformed into a work of art. Linda Steer traces the trajectory of the found photographs, from their first location to their location in a Surrealist periodical. Her study shows that the act of removal and re-framing highlights the instability and mutability of photographic meaning an instability and mutability that has consequences for our understanding both of photography and of Surrealism in the 1920s and 1930s.
The Canso d'Antioca is a fascinating text which deserves more attention than it has received. It is a fragment of a much larger epic describing the events of the First Crusade, related to the Old French Chanson d'Antioca but with many unique features. As such it presents a double interest to scholars of both history and literature. It is a source text for the First Crusade with information not contained in any other source. It is also an early and seminal text for Occitan epic, few examples of which survive. And arguably it represents the first work of vernacular verse history in France, raising fundamental questions about the junction of epic and historiography. This is the first published edition of the text since Paul Meyer's version in 1884. It is based on the single extant manuscript of the Canso found in Roda in Northern Spain and now in Madrid, accompanied by a translation into English on facing pages. The text is supported by detailed notes and a glossary of proper names cross-referenced to all major First Crusade sources. The introduction discusses in detail the history of the text and manuscript, the value of the Canso as a historical document, and its place both within the historical tradition of the Crusade and within Occitan literary tradition and 12th-century vernacular historiography.

Abstract: Recipes to assist in breaking the unhealthful junk food syndrome are presented for busy consumers. The approach attempts to change popular ideas about junk food. It is suggested that high-nutrient snacks can be prepared and used as an alternative to a meal. Many of the recipes have been sampled and tested by high school students. The need for complete protein is emphasized; skipping meals can lower blood sugar level, and protein is needed to sustain it. Protein is not provided by junk foods. Following discussion of introductory food preparation needs and cooking tips, recipes are given for appetizers, meats, salads, desserts, and condiments; and standardized basic recipes include yogurt, granola, and cheese.

Le manuscrit analyse une situation conflictuelle et la maniÈre dont elle peut Être rÉsolue. Plus prÉcisÉment, il traite le conflit IsraÉlo-Palestinien. L'auteur tente de rÉpondre À la question : pourquoi, aprÈs toutes ces annÉes de nÉgociations, une rÉsolution durable au conflit n'a-t-elle pas encore abouti ? L'idÉe dÉveloppÉe dans ce genre particulier de conflit (pas tout À fait la guerre conventionnel mais de longue durÉe quand mÊme) est que les croyances peuvent aveugler les protagonistes. Dans un tel cas, les croyances concernant la guerre et la paix sont À la fois À la base du conflit et de sa rÉsolution. Une rÉsolution durable du conflit ne peut aboutir qu'À partir du moment oÙ chacun des protagonistes aurait changÉ la prioritÉ de ses croyances. Le changement est le dÉroulement naturel de la re-attribution ou de la re-ordonnance (&la" re-priorisation &ra") d'une croyance À la place d'une autre.
