English summary: This volume examines the different analytical, historical, and hermeneutic approaches to the shepherds melody in Wagners Tristan and Isolde as methodological guide that will allow specialists and students to find their way through the various current orientations of musicology. The study opens in particular onto an original interpretation of the relationship between vocal and instrumental music. French description: La musicologie est entree dans une periode d'eclatement. Pour rendre compte des oeuvres et des styles, le chercheur doit-il mettre l'accent sur leurs structures ou sur les reseaux de significations de tous ordres qui s'y rattachent: historiques, culturelles, psychologiques, esthetiques, etc.? Et pour chacun de ces angles d'attaque, quelle methode d'analyse choisir et quel paradigme explicatif privilegier, alors qu'ils conduisent souvent a des resultats differents, voire concurrents? En examinant les diverses approches analytiques, historiques et hermeneutiques appliquees a la melodie du berger entendue dans le Tristan et Isolde de Wagner, l'auteur propose un guide methodologique qui permettra tant aux specialistes qu'aux etudiants de se reperer dans la proliferation des diverses orientations de la musicologie. Les modeles de Schenker, Ruwet, Meyer et Lerdahl sont discutes. Les esquisses inedites de cette musique sont ici publiees pour la premiere fois. Les investigations de la psychologie experimentale et de la psychanalyse sont presentees. L'examen des sources musicales (les chants de gondoliers de Venise et les chants de bergers helvetiques) entraine le lecteur du cote de Rousseau, de Goethe et surtout de Schopenhauer. Le livre debouche sur une interpretation originale des rapports entre musique vocale et musique instrumentale a travers Tristan.

"The Closers-Part 2" picks up where the original "The Closers" leaves off. Beyond the set closes, planned presen-tations and objection nullifications contained in the first book, "The Closers-Part 2" shows you what successful, sophisticated salespeople really do with all of that basic information. If "The Closers" original book can double your income (it has for many salespeople!), "The Closers-Part 2" can double it again!

This is the third edition of this text on logistic regression methods, originally published in 1994, with its second e- tion published in 2002. As in the first two editions, each chapter contains a pres- tation of its topic in “lecture?book” format together with objectives, an outline, key formulae, practice exercises, and a test. The “lecture book” has a sequence of illust- tions, formulae, or summary statements in the left column of each page and a script (i. e. , text) in the right column. This format allows you to read the script in conjunction with the illustrations and formulae that highlight the main points, formulae, or examples being presented. This third edition has expanded the second edition by adding three new chapters and a modified computer appendix. We have also expanded our overview of mod- ing strategy guidelines in Chap. 6 to consider causal d- grams. The three new chapters are as follows: Chapter 8: Additional Modeling Strategy Issues Chapter 9: Assessing Goodness of Fit for Logistic Regression Chapter 10: Assessing Discriminatory Performance of a Binary Logistic Model: ROC Curves In adding these three chapters, we have moved Chaps. 8 through 13 from the second edition to follow the new chapters, so that these previous chapters have been ren- bered as Chaps. 11–16 in this third edition.

In The Kennedys Amidst the Gathering Storm, Will Swift presents a fresh, empathetic interpre­tation of the ambassadorship of Joseph Kennedy and explores the intricate, often shifting relation­ships among Kennedy, Chamberlain, Churchill, and, of course, Roosevelt. Arriving in London in early 1938, the Irish-Catholic Kennedys were welcomed by politicians, aristocrats, and intellectuals, all eager to court America. They finally appeared to have overcome their lifelong status as outsiders. From 1938 to 1940, the Kennedys crystallized their identity as protagonists on the world stage, making public the competitive and clannish intrafamily dynamics that would fuel their mythic rise to power. They all learned from their father's successes—and failures. The older children—Joe Jr., Jack, and Kathleen—took an active part in England's glittering, "last fling before the bombs fall" society, but all nine children charmed, their every move chronicled by the British and American media. John F. Kennedy's path to the White House began in London. As his father's political fortunes dimmed, Jack published a best-selling book and his star rose. Drawing on recently released Kennedy family archives, Joseph P. Kennedy's private papers, and using rare photographs of English society and the photogenic Kennedy clan, Dr. Swift, with penetrating psychological insight, brings to life this fascinating family during a dramatic one thousand day period.

For well over a decade, the numerical approach to field computation has been gaining progressively greater importance. Analytical methods offield compu­ tation are, at best, unable to accommodate the very wide variety of configura­ tions in which fields must be computed. On the other hand, numerical methods can accommodate many practical configurations that analytical methods cannot. With the advent of high-speed digital computers, numerical field computations have finally become practical. However, in order to implement numerical methods of field computation, we need algorithms, numerical methods, and mathematical tools that are largely quite different from those that have been traditionally used with analytical methods. Many of these algorithms have, in fact, been presented in the large number of papers that have been published on this subject in the last two decades. And to some of those who are already experienced in the art of numerical field computations, these papers, in addition to their own original work, are enough to give them the knowledge that they need to perform practical numerical field computations.

The orangutan is the most highly endangered species of great ape. Orangutans are threatened by deforestation, poaching, the illegal pet trade, and the isolation and fragmen­ tation of dwindling wild populations. Their conservation is impeded by certain aspects of their ecology (e. g. , a rain forest habitat) and certain features of their life history (e. g. , an eight-to twelve-year interbirth interval). Added to the U. S. Endangered Species List in 1970, the orangutan is now clearly on the road to extinction. The number of wild orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra is currently estimated to have decreased to between 12,300 and 20,571 individuals. Only 2% of original orangutan habitat is protected and some of these areas are now being destroyed. Clearly, attention to ecology, demography, censusing, rehabilitation, and conservation is essential if the orangutan is to survive in the wild beyond the next century. The protection of orangutans is a complex, multifaceted problem, involving such pressing issues as human poverty, overpopulation, and the economic development of Southeast Asia. Although the orangutan has been placed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), more orangutans were sold illegally in Taiwan between 1990 and 1993 than are housed in all the world's zoos. In the past, scientific and public attention has centered on the African apes. For this reason, the sole Asian great ape, the orangutan, has been called the "neglected ape.

Lloyd's book is a provocative essay on the fragmen tation of the self as explored in philosophy and literature. The past is irrevocable, conscious ness changes as time passes: given this can there ever be such a thing as the unity of the self?

For many years, one of my favorite classroom devices in historical archaeology was to ask the students to imagine that they had to make the choice between saving―from some unnamed calamity―all master’s theses or all doctoral disser tations in anthropology, but not both. Like good students, they usually looked to their Ph.D. holding professor and chose the dissertations. Much to their surprise, Iwouldrespondthatthetheseswould win withouteventakingtime to ponderthe issue. The issue is clearly one of often naïve and rarely eloquent theses full of good primary data versus sometimes more sophisticated and better written works full of irrelevant theory and meaningless statistics. Perhaps this is an overstate ment of the situation, but it is not too far offthe mark. The University Microfilms International efforts to make the titles of disser tations in North America and the English speaking portions of Europe available through Dissertation Abstracts is commendable. With only one minor exception, dissertations in historical and underwater archaeology in the United States are to be found listed in Dissertation Abstracts and thus are available for purchase.
