The Chengjiang fauna:Exceptionally well-preserved animals from 530 nillion years ago

作者：  侯先光等[著]

出版社：云南科技出版社,1999

简介： [书摘:]动物体较大，轮廓圆形，成年个体直径可达100毫米以上，背部具辐射管大约80条，腹辐射管大约40条，均从中央腔延至边缘。U形的消化道宽大而清楚，环绕于动物体中心到边缘的距离之半位置，部分显示为黑色，有时充填泥质。 该化石是澄江动物群中最为丰富的种之一，而且保存好，常集群保存。最早把它作为腔肠动物门的水母化石来描述(孙卫国等，1987)。后来英国古生物学家ConwayMorris来南京检查了这类标本，认为星口水母属和云南水母属均是伊尔东体属的晚出同物异名(见ConwayMorrisandRobison，1988)。伊尔东体原发现于加拿大布尔吉斯页岩，后来在美国犹他州也有发现，已有近百年的研究历史，但分类位置至今不清。当初Walcott(1911)把它作为棘皮动物的海参，之后赞成、反对者皆有。Durham(1974)专门撰文评论了该动物的研究历史，认为是棘皮动物。Paul和Smith(1984)对属于棘皮动物的观点又表示了怀疑。Dzik(1991)对一些疑难化石在分类位置上又作了推测，并建立了高级分类单元，认为伊尔东体之类的化石和纤毛环的腕足动物、苔藓虫有亲缘关系。陈均远等(Cheneta1．，1995)又重新研究了澄江化石中的伊尔东体的部分标本，基本赞同Dzik的推测，并把这些水母状化石置于Dzik的新纲——伊尔东体纲(ClassEldonioideaDzik，1991，non1989)。 动物体呈长柄杯状，垂直高度可达100毫米以上，主要由下部的柄、中部的萼、上部的苞片和排泄管组成。柄细长，呈细管状，用以固着和支撑动物体主要部分。萼腔较小，呈下窄上阔的酒杯状。沿萼腔上缘环绕着18个苞片，苞片内侧被一系列横纹分隔为小室状构造，可能为触手或触手的固着区；苞片可沿基部平伸，形成以萼腔为圆心的辐射状。在萼腔近中心部分有一长的、向上伸展的细管状构造，被解释为排泄管。 足杯虫原发现于加拿大布尔吉斯页岩。澄江的种比加拿大布尔吉斯页岩的种保存得更好，目前所发现的标本数量也比在加拿大布尔吉斯页岩发现的多。ConwayMorris(1'977)详细讨论了足杯虫的亲缘关系，他把足杯虫和有关的现生动物门作了详细比较，认为足杯虫的系统位置仍然不能解决。但他又认为，相比之下，足杯虫可能和现代的内肛动物(entoprocts)的关系最为亲密。Dzik(1991)评论了足杯虫的分类位置，认为足杯虫不属于内肛动物，而和水母状化石伊尔东体等形成一个单系列演化类群，为此建立了Eldonioidea新纲，置于Tentaculata门，和具触手环的腕足动物、苔藓动物有亲缘关系。 奇妙足杯虫在澄江动物群中是稀少分子，目前所发现的标本都呈单个分散保存，说明该动物不是群聚生活，而是单体稀疏地分布在海底，利用柄固着于海底或部分柄掩埋在泥沙中。所发现的标本柄部呈直管状保存，说明柄是不易弯曲的。苞片上触手主要功能可能是捕获收集食物。

简介：The Post-Colonial Studies Readeris the most comprehensive selection of key texts in post-colonial theory and criticism yet compiled. This collection covers a huge range of topics, featuring nearly ninety of the discipline's most widely read works. — The Reader's90 extracts are designed to introduce the major issues and debates in...   more 籺he field of post-colonial literary studies. This field itself, however, has become so varied that no collection of readings could encompass every voice which is now giving itself the name "post-colonial." The editors, in order to avoid a volume which is simply a critical canon, have selected works representing arguments with which they do not necessarily agree, but rather which above all stimulate discussion, thought and further exploration. Post-colonial "theory" has occurred in all societies into which the imperial force of Europe has intruded, though not always in the official form of theoretical text. Like the description of any other field the term has come to mean many things, but this volume hinges on one incontestable phenomenon: the "historical fact"of colonialism, and the palpable consequences to which this phenomenon gave rise. The topic involves talk about experience of various kinds: migration, slavery, suppression, resistance, representation, difference, race, gender, place, and reaction to the European influence, and about the fundamental experiences of speaking and writing by which all these come into being. In compiling this reader, the editors have sought to stimulate people to ask: "How might a genuinely post-colonial literary enterprise proceed?" The fourteen sections include: Issues and Debates; Universality and Difference; Textual Representation and Resistance; Postmodernism and Post-Colonialism; Nationalism; Hybridity; Ethnicity and Indigenity; Feminism and Post-Colonialism; Language; The Body and Performance; History; Place; Education; and Production and Consumption. Contributors include many of the leading post-colonial theorists and critics--such as Franz Fanon, Chinua Achebe, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Homi Bhabba, Derek Walcott, Edward Said, and Trinh T. Minh-ha--in addition to a number of the discourse's newer voices. The Post-Colonial Studies Readerwill prove an authoritative compilation, representing an invaluable contribution to the study of post-colonial theory and criticism.   ?less

简介：This study provides the first comprehensive examination of the relationship between Congress and professional sports. It is not merely a catalog of all the hearings, investigations, and bills introduced to Congress in the twentieth century; rather, the work is a concise, interpretive narrative of Congress's involvement in the professional sports world. Testimony is included from such colorful figures as Ty Cobb, Pee Wee Reese, Jackie Robinson, Bob Feller, Casey Stengel, Charles Finley, Pete Rozelle, Don Shula, Jack Dempsey, Jersey Joe Walcott, Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston, Don King, and Rick Barry. Leading members of Congress, such as Emanuel Celler, Kenneth Keating, and Jack Kemp of New York, Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, Philip Hart of Michigan, Everett Dirksen of Illinois, Sam Ervin of North Carolina, and Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio, are also important to the story. It is, however a story that scholars have written about only on the periphery and of which most sports fans know little.

简介：Keeping track of contemporary writing is by its nature difficult. What are the recent developments in Chinese or Israeli fiction? What has happened to poetry in Russia since the fall of Communism? Are we even up to date with the best novels or plays of English-speaking countries round the world? Every year, so much is published which we feel we should know about, that there鈥檚 a strong need for a volume to evaluate it and put us on the track of what is best worth reading. This new Guide - the only work of its kind to cover world literature of the last thirty years - does just that: in twenty-eight lively and trenchant chapters it assesses the most important and interesting literature developments in all five continents. Taking 1960 as its starting-point, and coming right up to date, the book explores the recent writing of cultures as various as Australian and Spanish-American, French, Japanese, and Czech, Indian and New Zealand - and of course American, English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh. Each chapter discusses the literary and cultural contexts for authorship in its particular area, throwing light on a great number of significant writers - including household names such as Mishima, Toni Morrison, Derek Walcott, Patrick White, and Gunter Grass, but setting alongside them many others who may be less familiar but whose work is often just as well worth reading. Combining hard information with intelligent opinion, the Guide offers a discriminating - and sometimes controversial - view of a broad range of contemporary literatures.

简介："This book examines the diverse responses of colonized people to metropolitan ideas and to indigenous traditions. Going beyond the standard isolation of mimeticism and hybridity - and criticizing Homi Bhabha's influential treatment of the former - Hogan offers a lucid, usable theoretical structure for analysis of the postcolonial phenomena, with ramifications extending beyond postcolonial literature. Developing this structure in relation to major texts by Derek Walcott, Jean Rhys, Chinua Achebe, Earl Lovelace, Buchi Emecheta, Rabindranath Tagore, and Attia Hosain, Hogan also provides crucial cultural background for understanding these and other works from the same traditions."--BOOK JACKET.

Searching publishing archives for readers reports, editorial correspondence and interventions, this book represents a necessary exploration of postwar publishing contexts and the dissemination of texts from London that is crucial to literary histories of the postcolonial book. Taken together as a postwar generation, this cohort of now canonical writers helped "imagine" their respective national communities, yet their intellectual labors entered an elite transnational literary circuit, and correspondingly, were transformed into textual commodities by the economic, social, cultural and institutional transactions that were part of an expanding print capitalism.   ?less

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Kamada (writing, literature, and publishing; Emerson College, Massachusetts) examines three writers who have made their postcolonial landscapes a central motif in their works, showing how the landscapes they describe bear strong marks of a romantic inheritance. They use romantic terms to evoke the landscapes of their postcolonial communities, he says, in order to refigure and radically re-imagine these same landscapes in ways that reflect embryonic and interventionist nationalist sensibilities during historical times. He discusses Jamaica Kincaid's unreal beauty in Trenchtown Rocks, Garrett Hongo's postcolonial poetic in Once Out of Nature, and Derek Walcott and the education of the postcolonial in His Company of Visionaries.

简介：The first edited collection to bring ecocritical studies into a necessary dialogue with postcolonial literature, this volume offers rich and suggestive ways to explore the relationship between humans and nature around the globe, drawing from texts from Africa and the Caribbean, as well as the Pacific Islands and South Asia. Turning to contemporary works by both well- and little-known postcolonial writers, the diverse contributions highlight the literary imagination as crucial to representing what Eduoard Glissant calls the "aesthetics of the earth." The essays are organized around a group of thematic concerns that engage culture and cultivation, arboriculture and deforestation, the lives of animals, and the relationship between the military and the tourist industry. With chapters that address works by J. M. Coetzee, Kiran Desai, Derek Walcott, Alejo Carpentier, Zakes Mda, and many others, Postcolonial Ecologies makes a remarkable contribution to rethinking the role of the humanities in addressing global environmental issues.

简介："... highlights the importance of the trope of voyaging in Derek Walcott's poetics, primarily as it pertains to the poet's engagement with classical verse. Focusing specifically on the engagement with Homeric myth, and 'The Odyssey' in particular, it articulates the manner in which Walcott;'s postcolonial reconfigurations of epic verse both highlights the endurance of the classics as well as demonstrating how cultural practices can remake and transform ancient texts. Concomitant with the poet's presentation of self as divided, this study traces opposing forces in operation within this trope: a centrifugal force that corresponds to the outward journey away from his island home in search of greater publishing opportunities and broader readerships, and a centripetal force corresponding to the return journey, or homecoming. The enabling potential of Greek myth is marked by a similar to-ing and fro-ing in Walcott's verse as he repeatedly engages with, and simultaneously disavows, Homeric configurations. Insisting on the reciprocal nature of poetic appropriation, the act of rewriting also signalling new ways of rereading, Walcott's appropriations effectively enter into a critical dialogue with Homeric verse. Further depth to Walcott's rewriting of Homer is provided by an analysis of the mediating influence of Euro-American modernism. Through an examination of the postcolonial aftermath of modernism, it challenges the perceived exclusivity of each, illustrating this premise through case studies of Walcott's relation to both Romare Bearden and James Joyce. This study is therefore interdisciplinary and inter-artistic in nature, transgressing the borderline between poetry and prose, and that of literary and artistic disciplines. Highlighting the permeability of such boundaries, it investigates the journey of Odysseus, as prototypical wanderer, through time and space, from oral to print culture, from word to image"--Publisher's description, p. [4] of cover.

The Nobel Prize for literature recognises modern classics and the efforts of authors to bridge gaps between different cultures, time-periods and styles; the prizewinners between 1968 and 1995 are from four continents.These volumes are collections of the Nobel lectures delivered by the prizewinners, together with their biographies, portraits and presentation speeches for the period 1968 - 1995. Each Nobel lecture is based on the work that won the laureate his prize. New biographical data of the laureates, since they were awarded the Nobel prize, are also included. These volumes of inspiring lectures by outstanding individuals should be on everyone's bookshelf.(1991) Nadine Gordimer -- who through her magnificent epic writing has, in the words of Alfred Nobel, been of very great benefit to humanity; (1992) Derek Walcott -- for a poetic oeuvre of great luminosity, sustained by a historical vision, the outcome of a multicultural commitment; (1993) Toni Morrison -- who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality; (1994) Kenzaburo Oe -- who with poetic force creates an imagined world, where life and myth condense to form a disconcerting picture of the human predicament today; (1995) Seamus Heaney -- for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 After assuring readers that she is not about to compare anything to anything else, or to propose a new model for comparative analysis, Melas (comparative literature, Cornell U.) examines various instances of post-colonial comparison by analyzing figures of incommensurability in a set of literary and theoretical texts. She views post- coloniality as a condition linked to the cultural logic subtending the history of European conquests begun 500 years ago that brought the world as an empirical totality into human apprehension. Annotation 漏2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 This book is about culture and comparison. Starting with the history of the discipline of comparative literature and its forgotten relation to the positivist comparative method, it inquires into the idea of comparison in a postcolonial world. Comparison was Eurocentric by exclusion when it applied only to European literature, and Eurocentric by discrimination when it adapted evolutionary models to place European literature at the forefront of human development. This book argues that inclusiveness is not a sufficient response to postcolonial and multiculturalist challenges because it leaves the basis of equivalence unquestioned. The point is not simply to bring more objects under comparison, but rather to examine the process of comparison. The book offers a new approach to the either/or of relativism and universalism, in which comparison is either impossible or assimilatory, by focusing instead on various forms of “incommensurability”—comparisons in which there is a ground for comparison but no basis for equivalence. Each chapter develops a particular form of such cultural comparison from readings of important novelists (Joseph Conrad, Simone Schwartz-Bart), poets (Aimé Césaire, Derek Walcott), and theorists (Edouard Glissant, Jean-Luc Nancy).

简介：Amid an "explosion in the interest of poetry nationwide" (The New York Times), The Best American Poetry 2000 delivers one of the finest volumes yet in this renowned series. The appearance of poems on Web sites, bus and subway placards, highway billboards, and TV sitcoms and commercials testifies to the resurgence in the popularity of poetry today. Yet there is something transcendent, series editor David Lehman writes in his foreword, about "the pleasures of the tangible book...which you can annotate as you peruse, and which shall in time occupy its destined place on the shelf where you keep a record of your history as a reader." The Best American Poetry 2000 will surely hold a treasured place on the shelves of longtime poetry fans and those new to its joys. Guest editor Rita Dove, one of the most prominent figures in the poetry world and the second African-American poet ever to win the Pulitzer Prize, brings all of her dynamism and well-honed acumen to bear on this project. Dove used a simple yet exacting method to make her selections: "The final criterion," she writes in her introduction, "was Emily Dickinson's famed description -- if I felt that the top of my head had been taken off, the poem was in." The result is a marvelous collection of consistently high-quality poems diverse in form, tone, style, stance, and subject matter. Ranging from the traditional to the experimental, the volume embraces established masters such as Mary Oliver, Derek Walcott, and Richard Wilbur; contemporary crowd pleasers like Billy Collins, Yusef Komunyakaa, and Robert Pinsky; and a number of irresistible newcomers. It is a gathering that will bring readers to what Dove calls "the still center of being that good poetry awakens." And, in a special feature marking the new millennium, the series' current and past editors have nominated their candidates for the Best American Poems of the Twentieth Century, helping to make The Best American Poetry 2000 this year's must-have book for all poetry lovers. - Publisher.
