T C E603A • Composition and Reading in World Literature
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |

Hinojosa-Smith |
Course Description
This is a close reading class; we will begin with The Iliad, and the instructor will fill in with notes and brief remarks on The Odyssey. Homer's works call for oral reading, much like what must have been done in those times, and students will have the opportunity to read to the class; the instructor will do the same, but the bulk of the oral reading will come from the students. The plays chosen are but a small number of the many universal dramatic contributions made by the Greeks; time is a telling judge of merit and the works attest to their continuing worth and longevity.
Aside from assigned reading, the students will also assume the roles of various characters and thus bring to life their actions and the resulting consequences of such actions. Cultural presentations and Aristotelian precepts of what constitutes a drama will be given as additional information by the instructor, who expects high student participation.
It is expected that the course will serve as an introduction for further interest/study by the students.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- The Washington state Senate has passed a measure altering health insurance benefits for K-12 school employees.
Senate Bill 5940 -- passed Saturday on a 29-17 vote -- replaces a contentious proposal to consolidate school employee health insurance under the state's Health Care Authority with one keeping health care administered by school districts.
The bill would require districts to give financial and enrollment information to the state's Insurance Commissioner and to establish employee premiums for full family coverage that are at most three times the premiums for individuals. It would require all those covered to pay part of their premiums and make districts offer high deductible plans with health savings accounts.
Districts that fail to comply would have their employees placed in the existing health insurance program for state workers.

It's not a space issue, it's a bandwidth issue. The server hosting the LFS site has a monthly limit (although it was recently increased), and hosting all the packages would blow past that limit quickly.

A True Story About Life
Erika Hayasaki, having reported on a succession of traumatic events, read about a popular university class on death. She decided to enroll.
"You Shall Not Kill" or "You Shall Not Murder?" The Assault on a Biblical Text. By Wilma Ann Bailey. Liturgical Press.
In 1863 a cooper in Chillicothe, Ohio, named Schyler Courier angrily responded to a group of boys throwing snowballs at him by firing his shotgun, killing one of the boys. In 1866 in Petersburg, New York, Hiram Coon warned his employer's wife, Mary Laker, to quit taunting him for his criminal past; when she would not stop, he split her head open with an ax.
During the past year, Chicago has experienced a disturbing spate of murders of police officers. Just a few days ago a 20-year veteran of the Chicago police force, a husband and father of four, was killed during a routine investigation, along with a former police officer for the Chicago Housing Authority whose car had been burglarized.

There are numerous sub-conversations born out of this, and one of them is the minimum required servlet spec version for Jenkins.

[ Locations | Map themes & related | Cartographers ]
Claudius Ptolemy. "Tabula Asiae III." From Sebastian Munster's edition of Ptolemy's Geographia. Basel: Henric Petri, 1552. Woodcut. Very good condition. Decorative woodblocks on verso attributed to Hans Holbein. Denver.
In the Second Century A.D. Ptolemy was the librarian at Alexandria, the greatest center of learning in the Classical world. Ptolemy wrote two major works, the Almagest, an account of the heavens, and the Geographia, the first atlas of the world. This latter consisted of Ptolemy's compilation of all known geographic information, including instructions for how to make maps. Rediscovered in the middle ages, the Geographia had a profound impact on the awaking western European mind. Ptolemy opened to view large parts of the unknown world to an audience just starting to explore beyond its narrow horizons. His structure for making maps, with longitude and latitude, and his usual northern orientation for the maps, became the standard from then right up to the present. Such was the impact of Ptolemy's work that even in the sixteenth century, a millennium and a half after it was produced, when Ptolemy's geographic conceptions were known to be wrong, maps based on these conceptions were issued time and again. Sebastian Munster's versions are excellent examples of these maps. This map shows the area between the Black and Caspian seas when information about the Caucasus was very scarce in the Mediterranean Classical world. Here is the conjunction of present-day Turkey, Russia and Iran. Noah's Ark floats in the Caspain Sea. A fascinating document reflecting some of the earliest information available on this important area. $300
Gerard Mercator Jr. after Gerard Mercator. "Asia ex magna orbis terre descriptione Gerardi Mercatoris desumpta studio et industria G. M. Iunoris." From the Mercator-Hondius Atlas. Amsterdam: Jodocus Hondius, [1595]-1606. 14 7/8 x 18 3/8. Engraving. Full original color. Full margins. Very good condition.
Gerard Mercator (1512-1594) ranks as one of the greatest cartographers in history, not only for the extremely fine maps he produced, but also for the innovations which he introduced into cartographic science. Until the end of the sixteenth century, Ptolemy's concept of depicting sections of the world in trapezoidal configurations, like gores from a globe, had predominated. Mercator, however, stated that small sections of the earth were not significantly distorted toward the poles if longitude lines were represented as parallel by squares or rectangles. The development of the "Mercator projection," which became the established convention, was particularly important for the improvements it allowed in navigational methods.
Through his constant accumulation of new geographic and cosmological data, Mercator was able to produce the most accurate and current maps of his day, which unlike most of his contemporary's maps were mostly original work. His maps not only are excellent cartographically, but they are aesthetically superb as well, with beautiful cartouches, silken seas and other exquisite ornamentation. Mercator intended to produce a complete description of creation, heaven, the earth and the seas, a project he was only beginning when he died. Such was his influence that the title he chose for this projected work, "Atlas," has now become the generic name for all collections of maps. Mercator's grandson, Gerard Mercator Jr., drew this map of Asis based on Mercator's world map of 1569. As Mercator's general statement about Asia, highly decorative with its strong color in the early Dutch style, this is one of the best maps of Asia by one of the greatest cartographers in history. $2,100
Jodocus Hondius. "Asiae, Nova Descriptio Auctore Jodoco Hondio." Amsterdam: Jodocus Hondius 1606. 14 3/4 x 19 3/4. Engraving. Excellent original color. Full margins. Very good condition.
Jodocus Hondius (1563-1611) was one of the dominate figures in the great age of Dutch cartography. In 1604, he purchased the plates from the great Gerard Mercator's Atlas, and began publishing new editions of the atlas in 1606. This series of atlases was constantly updated with new maps by Hondius, reflecting his continued commitment to publishing a superior work. This particular map of Asia is one of Hondius' updated efforts, and it is an excellent example of his work.
The continent is presented with copious detail, and the map extends into the Pacific to include New Guinea and the Philippines. Much of the interior information of the Far East comes from Marco Polo, with some of it correct and much of it erroneous. To the northeast is shown the Anian Strait separating Asia and North America; though this looks like the Bering Strait, it was a geographical hypothesis with no basis in actual experience. Another hypothetical geographic feature is mentioned in the bottom right corner, where New Guinea is shown with a note indicating that it was not known whether it was an island or part of the hypothesized southern continent. The feature which is most noticeably incorrect is the depiction of Korea as an elongated island. The geographic misconceptions continue with several non-existent islands, including, "I dos hermanos," located in the oceans that are teeming with sea monsters and variously rigged sailing ships. These delightful decorative features are nicely complimented by the excellent calligraphy and the three mannerist cartouches, and the whole æsthetic appeal of the map is wonderfully highlighted by the lovely hand color. A superior map of Asia extending from the Eastern Mediterranean, to India, to Southeast Asia, all of China and out to Japan. Of major impact! $2,200
Henricus Hondius. "Asia recens summa cura delineata." Amsterdam: H. Hondius, [1631]-1649. 14 7/8 x 19 5/8. Engraving. Lovely original color. Full margins. Very good condition. Denver.
A striking map and one of the most correct to date of the area. In carrying on the great Mercator-(Jodocus) Hondius tradition, Jansson, the son-in-law of Hondius, and Henricus Hondius, his direct descendant, updated the earlier works, at the same time developing a cartographic style of their own. This is a lovely example of Henricus Hondius' output. Typically of the maps from Hondius' atlas, the depiction is filled with information, some accurate and some based solely on hearsay. Much detail is given of rivers, mountains, islands and towns. An elephant is illustrated in western China, lions in Africa, and a merman and two sea monsters off the coasts. Other decorative features include three western ships and a Chinese junk, as well as two elegant cartouches. $1,600
Martini/Joan Blaeu. "Iaponia Regnum." Amsterdam, 1655+. 16 1/2 x 22 1/4. Engraving. Touches of hand color. Excellent condition. Walter, 38.
Martino Martini assembled information about Japan while he was in China. This map exhibits a combination of derivation from both the Jesuit Blancus/Moriera type and the Dudley/Jannson. Joan Blaeu would have been familiar with both these sources and also probably added the many Dutch names found here through his work with the Dutch East Indies Company. Prior to publishing his Atlas Major, Blaeu published a separate atlas of the orient entitled Atlas Sinensis in 1655. Most of the maps contained beautiful ornamentation, but this one is decidedly plain and straight forward. Following information from Robert Dudley, this is one of the earliest maps to show Korea as a peninsula rather than an island. The confused depiction of "Eso" that was found in other contemporary maps is not broached here because so little of the land mass is shown. $3,200
Go to page of maps of Japan
Another map of an Asian region by W. Blaeu. Amsterdam: J. Bleau, 1643-50. Engraving. Excellent original hand color. Very good condition, except as noted.
An updated map based on the Blaeu map of Southeast Asia (cf. above). Most of the atlases by Frederick DeWit (1630-1706) were composite in nature, so they are impossible to date precisely, though this map was engraved in 1662. The map shows from southeastern Persia to northwestern Australia. Focus is on India, Southeast Asia, and the East Indies with the Phillipines. The many islands are clearly depicted, with ports shown as the most important information. The Celebes Islands were then being developed for the spice trade which would lead to hostilities among the European powers. $1,250
Go to page with other maps of the East Indies
Nicolaas Witsen. "Asia Accuratissime Descripta." Amsterdam: Peter Schenck, 1695. 19 1/4 x 23. Enraving. Strong original outline color. A few light stains in margin. Very good condition.
A strongly engraved and colored map of Asia based on the work of Nicolaas Witsen. Witsen was at various times Mayor and Burgomaster of Amsterdam, ambassador or Russian and England, friend of Peter the Great, traveler, map collector, map maker, and artist of some note. Witsen traveled extensively, including to Moscow in 1664. He maintained copious correspondence with people in different parts of Asia and was able to compile as extensive knowledge of the continent as anyone in the later part of the seventeenth century. In 1692 he issued his account of Noord en Oost Tartarye and he was responsible for a large map of Asia in 1687. This is Peter Schenck's version of Witsen's information, and it is impressive in its detail and accuracy for the time. Besides its excellent information, the map is visually appealing as well, with good color and an elaborate cartouche with various Asiatic figures, objects, produce, and fauna. $1,800
Michael Burgers. "A New Map of Present Asia dedicated to his Highness William duke of Gloucester." Oxford: Edward Wells, 1700. 13 3/4 x 19 1/4 (neat lines) plus full margins. Engraving by M. Burgers. Outline hand color. Center fold as issued. Slight age discoloration. Very good condition.
An attractive map of Asia from Wells' New Set of Maps both of Ancient and Present Geography. This atlas was issued by Wells for Oxford University students, which explains the clarity of the lettering and the lack of distracting, non-essential decorative features. The map was drawn and engraved by Michael Burgers (also Burg or van de Burgh), a Dutch mapmaker who came to England in 1672 and became the engraver to Oxford University. The map shows the entire continent as well as the East Indies which were coming rapidly into focus for the European powers. For the students, Wells shows the cities on the ancient Silk Road that was still being used even though the safest way to the Orient was by ship around Africa. China, Korea and Japan are shown in relatively correct juxtaposition but in simplified shapes. Relative importance of cities is shown with symbols. It is fascinating to think that if one were a student at the turn of the eighteenth century, this map reflects all one would be thought to need to know of Asia.
Part of that fascination is the realization that much of this 'knowledge' was incorrect on this map. Shapes are distorted and old names are taken from ancient sources reflects many of the geographic errors and myths of the period. Overall, this is a map which is intriguing to look at both visually and intellectually. $625
John Senex. "A New Map of Asia From the latest Observations." From A New General Atlas. London: J. Senex, 1721. 18 x 21 7/8. Engraving. Original outline color. Full margins. Very good condition.
A strongly engraved and nicely colored map by John Senex, one of the leading English cartographers in the early part of the eighteenth century, a time when England was coming to the forefront of the world cartographic scene. Senex was a popular and prolific mapmaker, and the quality of his work is evidenced by his appointment as Geographer to Queen Anne. This is a very attractive map of Asia, combining the latest information available to Senex with the many misconceptions of the continent prevalent in Europe at the time. Many rivers, towns, lake, roads, and other information is presented from the Urals to the East Indies. An inset of "ye supposed N. Coast of Asia" is given in the lower left "to avoid too great a contraction of the scale." The map is most confused in the seas to the north of Japan. The "Land of Iess" and "Company's Land" are shown as indistinct and large land masses, and north of them is an open "Eastern Ocean." Decoratively, this map is quite appealing. The neat, strong engraving is nicely complimented by the outline hand coloring. Senex included a charming title cartouche, which shows two figures in Asian dress, along with flora and fauna of the continent. $1,200
John Senex. "A Map of Turkey, Arabia and Persia. Corrected from the latest Travels & . . . Observations of ye Royal Society . . .." From A New General Atlas. London: J. Senex, 1721. 18 x 22. Double folio. Engraving (outline color). Full margins. Original outline color. Excellent condition.
A large and attractive map of the Middle East based on the original map by the French geographer Guillaume Delisle and revised by John Senex. An equal wealth of information is illustrated in southern Europe and north Africa. The title is framed by an exquisite cartouche decorated with images of the Muslims who inhabit these lands. A fine document. $1,200

Guillaume Delisle. "Carte Des Indes et de la Chine." Amsterdam: Jean Covens & Cornelius Mortier, ca. 1730. 24 1/4 x 24 1/2. Engraving. Original outline hand color. Full margins. Excellent condition.
A highly detailed map of Asia by Guillaume Delisle (1675-1726), the leading French cartographer of the eighteenth century and one of the greatest of all time. He is known as the "father of scientific cartography" because he was the first publisher to use methods of mensuration and triangulation in map preparation. According to Tooley, "his work was highly rated, not only by his own countrymen, but by the world at large." (Maps and Mapmakers, p. 43), and he was certainly "the most prominent figure at the beginning of the century." (Ibid.)
Asia was an area of great interest to eighteenth century Europeans, and this map shows a gradual expansion of their geographic knowledge of the region. This map, by Delisle, presents as up-to-date and correct information as was available. Depictions of towns, rivers, political divisions, and some topography are neatly and clearly presented. From West to East the map shows Tartaria at its western extreme, all of India, Southeast Asia, the East Indies, China, Korea, and Japan. The publishers of this edition of the map, Jean Covens and Cornelius Mortier, purchased Delisle's plates after his death, and continued to issue the maps from their press in Amsterdam. They enhanced their issues with the use of hand color, well evidenced in this attractive and interesting historical document. $1,200
Guillaume Delisle. "L'Asie." Brussels: Eugene Henri Fricx, 1730. 17 5/8 x 22 3/4. Engraving by Jean Harrewijn. Full original color. Full margins. Excellent condition.
A very attractive and unusual version of Delisle's map of Asia, published by E.H. Fricx or Friex. Fricx, a bookseller and printer, took his geographic content directly from Delisle, to whom he gives credit in the title cartouche. Fricx's map does differ from Delisle's both in the coloring, here with bold color similar to that of the German style, and in the newly designed cartouches, including a cartouche designed as an oriental rug, hanging from the upper right neat line, which contains the publishing information. $950
Johannes Bapt. Homann. "Recentissima Asiae Delineatio" Nuremberg: Homann Heirs, ca. 1730. 19 x 22 1/2. Engraving. Original hand color. Very good condition. Denver.
Johann Baptist Homann was one of the most influential German cartographers in the eighteenth century. He led a resurgence of map-publishing by producing his famous Grosser Atlas in 1716. His maps are unusual because he ascribes to a style known as "body coloring", i.e. he colors the maps but leaves titles and cartouches uncolored. This is a nice example of his output, showing the continent of Asia as understood in Europe near the beginning of the eighteenth century. By then the "Spice Islands" and Japan were better known, so the outline of the continent was significantly improved, though the northeast is still relatively unknown, Homann showing a large "Compagnie Lane" to the east of the Kamchatka Peninsula. This was a mythical land based on a misinterpreted report from a Spanish pilot who had supposedly traveled from Asia to New Spain. It could possibly be an early representation of the Northwest part of America, but more likely is simply a cartographic myth typical of many that appeared on maps of this period. Further south New Guinea and Australia are depicted in a tentative manner. The interior of the continent is a mixture of some limited knowledge and other old erroneous beliefs. One of the nicest features of many Homann maps are the cartouches and this map is no exception. The large, elaborate title cartouche in the lower left shows an Asian potentate sitting on a throne surrounding by advisors and supplicants. In the background are caravan and ship traders while in the sky are putti showing the hope that Christianity was being spread through the continent. $900
George Louis le Rouge. "L'Asie." Paris: le Rouge, 1747. Engraving. 19 1/2 x 24 3/4. Trimmed close to left neat line, as issued. With repairs of old tears, especially at folds. Overall, very good condition and excellent strike. Denver.
A very good map of Asia issued in Le Rouge's Atlas nouveau portatif. George Louis le Rouge (fl. 1740-80) was one in the line of great French cartographers beginning with Nicolas Sanson, rising to become the Geographer to the French King. This map, based on the latest astronomical observations from the Academy in Moscow, bespeaks the quality of his work. Rivers, mountains, lakes, countries, cities, and so forth are shown clearly and with significant accuracy. Along the left is a table of the divisions of Asia---political and religious. A fine map of the continent. $725
Emanuel Bowen. "A New & Exact Map of Asia." From John Harris' Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels. London, 1748. 14 1/2 x 18. Engraving. Repaired small hole in ocean at right; just affecting part of text label. Otherwise, very good condition.
Emanuel Bowen was a map engraver, printer and publisher in London in the mid-eighteenth century. He achieved considerable success in this field, being appointed as engraver to both Louis XV of France and George II of Britain, and later as Geographer to the latter. He produced some of the most interesting maps of his time. Despite his royal appointments and apparent success, Bowen died in poverty in 1767. Through all the vicissitudes of his life, however, Emanuel Bowen's maps continued at a very high level of quality, as exemplified by this nicely detailed map of Asia, "Compiled from Surveys & authentick Journals assisted by the most approved modern Maps & Charts, & Regulated by Astron. Observations." Interior detail is copious; some accurate and some erroneous. Bowen indicates the trade winds in the Indian Ocean and Pacific, which was important information for the many trade vessels plying those waters in the eighteenth century. Japan is somewhat strangely drawn, but it is relatively accurately compared to many maps of the period. To the north is "DeGama's Land, with its shore just sketched in part. $425
Thomas Woodroofe. "A Plain Chart of the Caspian Sea." London: J. Hanway, 1753. 13 3/4 x 21 1/2. Engraving. With folds as issued. Split at fold at right and one tear just into image; repaired. Some light off-setting. Very good condition.
The first detailed chart of the Caspian sea based on the surveys of John Elton and Thomas Woodroofe. They were both Englishmen who surveyed the sea in the early eighteenth century as part of the British trade in the area. $450
Jean Janvier. "L'Asie divisée en ses Principaux Etats." From Atlas Moderne. Paris: Jean Lattré & J. Thomas, 1762. 12 1/4 x 17 5/8. Engraving. Original hand outline color. Lightly toned in margins, not affecting image. Else, very good condition.
Jean Janvier was a French cartographer who worked in Paris in the latter part of the eighteenth century. Among his output were some fine maps which appeared in Jean Lattré's Atlas Moderne. This atlas contained maps of all parts of the world engraved by Lattré, the "Graveur Ordinaire du Roi." Janvier's maps contained the best information available at the time, even though some of it was erroneous. This map of Europe is a good example of this, for the information on the coastlines, islands, rivers, major cities is all excellent. Janvier shows the political divisions of the continent, emphasized subtly by the hand-applied outline color. The map has an elaborate and lovely title cartouche that graces the upper left corner. A wonderful map of Europe from the period. $425
Guillaume Delisle. "Terrae Sanctae Tabula e Scripturae Sacrae, Flavii Josephi, Eusebii et Divi Hieronymi..." From Rigobert Bonne's Atlas Moderne ou Collection de Cartes sur toutes les parties du Globe Terrestre. Paris: Lattré and Delalain, 1763. Two sheets each 13 1/2 x 19 1/2. Original hand color. Some minor blemishes. Otherwise, very good condition. Laor: 245.
A beautiful, two sheet map of the Holy Land originally done by Guillaume Delisle, but edited by his brother, Joseph after his death. Palestine shown divided among the Tribes. Typical of the French school of cartography, the decorative elements of the map are kept to the cartouches. In this particular one, the ten commandments are included. $550

Thomas Kitchin. "Asia agreeable to the most approved Maps and Charts, By Mr. Kitchen." From George Millar's New Complete & Universal System of Geogrphy. London: T. Kitchin, 1781. 13 1/4 x 15 3/8. Engraving. Margins as issued, narrow at top. Very good condition.
A detailed map of Asia by Thomas Kitchin (or "Kitchen" as on this map). Kitchin was a prolific English mapmaker of the late eighteenth century and his maps were used for Millar's popular geography in 1781. Much detail is given, compiled from the best sources available in London at the time. Asia, though better known than in earlier, was still a generally mysterious continent to Europeans. $125
Samuel Dunn. "Asia Divided into its Principal States and Regions; with All the Islands and The New Dsicoveries made by the English and the Russians in the Eastern Parts." London: Robert Sayer, 1789. 12 1/2 x 17 3/4. Engraving. Original hand color. Wide margins. Very good condition.
A handsome British map of Asia by Samuel Dunn (d. 1794). Besides being a mapmaker, Dunn was a sometimes publisher of maps and atlases, a mathematician, and teacher, who advertised his profession as "S. Dunn Teacher of the Mathematicks London. Boards Young Gentlemen, & Teacheth Penmanship, Merch'ts Acc'ts, Navigation, Fortification, Astronomy &c. Chelsea." Dunn's mathematical inclinations are demonstrated on the precision of this fine map which shows the entire continent of Asia and the oceans surrounding. Topography and political features are precisely engraved, and known rivers and lakes also. Overall, a fine example of British map-making from a period of growing world-wide power by the nation. $275
Samuel Dunn. "Asia Divided into its Principal States and Regions; with All the Islands and The New Dsicoveries made by the English and the Russians in the Eastern Parts." London: Laurie & Whittle, 1794. 12 3/8 x 17 3/4. Engraving. Original hand outline color. Very good condition.
Another handsome map by Samuel Dunn, this one published the year he died. $175
John Cary. "A New Map of China." London: J. Cary, 1801. From New Universal Atlas. 18 x 20. Engraving. Full original hand color. Small spot near center; smudges in margins. Else, very good condition.
Amidst the turmoil of the Napoleonic wars, British naval power was rising, and mapmaking as an art and science kept pace. Cary used existing maps and new surveys to provide his clients with the most up-to-date information on all parts of the world. Inaccuracies might be evident, but they reflect the state of knowledge in western Europe when they were made. This was the best information then available by a man, who, with his sons, was one of the most prominent makers of maps and globes in the World. $425

William Darton, Jr. "Asia." From Atlas to Walker's Geography. London: Vernor and Hood, etc., 1802. 7 1/4 x 8 1/2. Engraving. Original outline color. Very good condition.
William Darton, Sr. started his mapmaking business in 1787 in London, and thus began a cartographic publishing house that would last, in various manifestations, until the 1860s. William Darton, Jr. joined his father late in the eighteenth century and these are maps engraved by him for Walker's Geography. While not large, the maps contain an impressive amount of detail carefully presented. The information used was the best available in London at the beginning of the nineteenth century, meaning the best in the world, so these maps are not only attractive, but provide an excellent cartographic picture of the world at the time. This map of Asia includes a surprising amount of information of the interior, some correct and some not. $195

"Asia and Its Islands, from the most recent Authorities." From A New and Elegant General Atlas. (London, 1810). London: Laurie & Whittle, 1807. 7 1/4 x 9 1/2. Engraving. Excellent original color. Very good condition. Denver.
In 1794, Robert Laurie and James Whittle took over Robert Sayer's important publishing business in London and continued to produce maps of the highest quality into the early nineteenth century. With access to the best geographic records and the finest craftsmen, the maps issued by Laurie & Whittle are among the best of the period. This map of Asia is a fine example, exhibiting surprising detail of the entire continent in a small format. Rivers, lakes and mountains are well illustrated and political borders highlighted in contrasting colors. This map presents an excellent snapshot of the situation of Asia at the beginning of the nineteenth century. $285
John Thomson. "Asia." From A New General Atlas. Edinburgh: J. Thomson, 1821. Engraving. 19 3/4 x 23 1/2. Original hand color. Very good condition.
An detailed map of Asia, beautifully crafted, with precise engraving and neat hand coloring. The quality of British cartographic production was not limited to London, and this map is good evidence that superb maps were issued to the north as well. Topography is shown, and many settlements are indicated throughout. An excellent map of the continent from the eraly nineteenth century. $525
Klaproth. "Asia Polyglotta." By Heinrich Julius von Klaproth (1783-1833). Paris, 1823. Drawn by Louis de L'Or and engraved by Berthe, Rue St. Jacques. Engraving (hand colored). 12 x 15 3/8 (neat lines) plus full borders. Excellent condition.
Klaproth was an orientalist traveler and publisher from Berlin. He translated Chinese placenames for maps and compiled an index of names. He published an historical atlas of China with twenty one sheets in 1821, and this map shows areas of language groups delineated by color coding. This is a fascinating and unusual map. $300
John Cary. "A New Map of Hindoostan, from the Latest Authority." From Cary's New Universal Atlas. London: J. Cary, 1825. 18 1/4 x 20. Engraving. Minor wear in outside margins and along center seam. Otherwise, very good condition.
English mapmaker John Cary (ca. 1754-1835), was the founder of the famous English cartographic firm. From about mid-way through the eighteenth century, British cartographers were the best in the world, and the maps produced by Cary are good examples of the quality achieved in Britain. Rivers, towns, roads, and other information is clearly presented with very crisp engravings, and the maps have an almost three-dimensional topographical appearance. The subtle hand coloring adds a decorative touch to these fine early nineteenth century historic documents. This full size map of Hindoostan includes an insert of the Island of Ceylon. $450

David H. Burr. "Asia." From A New Universal Atlas (1835). New York: Thomas Illman, 1834. 10 3/8 x 12 1/2. Engraving by Illman & Pilbrow. Full original color. Light smudges in upper right. Else, very good condition. Denver.
An excellent map of Asia by David H. Burr, one of the most important American cartographers of the first part of the nineteenth century. Having studied under Simeon DeWitt, Burr produced the second state atlas issued in the United States, of New York in 1829. He was then appointed to be geographer for the U.S. Post Office and later geographer to the House of Representatives. As a careful geographer, Burr is painstaking in this map to put in only information for which he felt there was a scientific basis. The map shows major cities and rivers, as well as mountains and deserts. The major political divisions are distinguished with contrasting colors. Burr's maps are scarce and quite desirable. $210
A lovely and well produced map from John Lothian's New Edinburgh General Atlas. Published jointly in London and Edinburgh, this atlas contained maps with very good detail of towns and cities, river and lakes, orography, and political divisions. In this period, the United Kingdom had established itself as the dominate economic and cartographic nation and the maps from this atlas bespeak the quality of British mapmakers. Each map is finely hand colored, making them as attractive as they are historically interesting. This is a nice map of Asiawith each political entity indicated with a contrasting color. Detail includes names of countries and regions, major towns, rivers, mountains, and lakes. The map was issued in a period when European knowledge of Asia was growing and this is an attractive picture of that knowledge. $175

Happy Birthday, Julia Child!
(Read article summary)Celebrating the woman who changed how we cook. Aug. 15 marks the 100th birthday of Julia Child.
Terry Boyd
To mark the 100th anniversary of Julia Child's birth, PBS.org recently invited a number of chefs and food bloggers to share tributes to Julia, to tell a little about how the seminal cookbook author, TV personality and larger than life person had influenced them. They were kind enough to include me on their list.
You'll find Julia sprinkled throughout the pages of Blue Kitchen (and it's interesting that we all feel comfortable enough with her to call her that, not Ms. Child – but that was the kind of warmth and comfort she always inspired). There are actual recipes, of course, starting with Potage Parmentier, the simple six-ingredient potato leek soup she made for her beloved husband and collaborator Paul almost every day. And there was Skate Meunière with browned butter and capers, based on the life-changing sole meunière Julia ate on her first day in France with Paul.
But Julia is elsewhere on Blue Kitchen, too. A few summers ago, when we took a trip to Washington, D.C. and made a pilgrimage to her kitchen at the Smithsonian, I shared that experience here. And when the movie "Julie & Julia" came out and we, like just about every other food geek, saw it the first weekend, I wrote a piece about what Julia taught us and why we could use a few more Julias today.

China discriminates against disabled children, report says
Many Chinese children with disabilities must find alternative means to an education. China doesn't allow regular schooling to children with disabilities unless they prove they can adapt in a normal school environment.
More than a quarter of Chinese children with disabilities don't get to go to school, while many of those who do are blocked from mainstream institutions or taught by untrained teachers, a human rights group said.
The report released Tuesday by New York-based Human Rights Watch said Chinese students with disabilities are denied access to regular schools unless they can prove they can adapt to the schools' physical and learning environment, and that accommodations for such students are "little to none."
In one example, the group said a mother went to school several times a day to carry her child up and down stairs because the restroom was on a different floor from the classroom.
The report sheds light on how China's burgeoning problem of social inequality – even in education – applies to people with disabilities. In China, there is only a nascent public awareness of the issues that people with disabilities face.
Prejudice and social stigma run high in this deeply competitive society, driving many parents to abandon children with disabilities to China's chronically underfunded state orphanage system.
Just days before the Human Rights Watch report was released, China's Education Ministry issued its own report on the same topic.
The ministry's report said that 28 percent of Chinese children with disabilities are not enrolled in China's compulsory nine-year education. But it said the 72 percent enrollment rate represented a jump of nearly 10 percentage points from 2008, and that an increasing number of disabled students were in regular schools with proper accommodations.
Maya Wang, a researcher for the rights group, said the ministry's report failed to show how it was making mainstream schools more accessible to disabled students, as the government is obligated to do under an international treaty on the rights of disabled people that Beijing ratified in 2008.

Women's Racing
2013's Female Road Racers to Watch
Evelyn Stevens (Specialized-lululemon)
2 / 12
Evelyn Stevens finished the 2012 season ranked fourth in the world. The engaging American, who left a career in finance to turn pro, won her first world cup race last year at Flèche Wallonne. She also finished second in the world championship time trial behind the now-retired Judith Arndt. Stevens is a rider on the rise. It'll be a big task for her to overtake Marianne Vos, but certainly, she will add to her growing collection of victories in 2013. At a recent training camp, she said she wanted to improve her time-trial skills and win the world title. We say, why not?

Agreed...And I had to deal with just this on Sunday during a private consult with a client couple.
The husband had gone out and bought his wife a S&W Airweight .38 (!) without consulting with her on anything...And told her this is YOUR gun.
Well guess what...Neither he nor she can shoot that thing for anything.
The grip is way too small, the weight is far too light to handle with combat _accuracy_ even light target loads never mind defensive +P ammo (!)...And most important of all the sight radius is far too short for a novice shooter.
I had her shoot the same ammo out of a full steel 4" barrel J frame and guess what...She can hit better than he can, and she's only shot a handgun just once before ever in her life. While he owns multiple revolvers and has been shooting for some 20 yrs. Go figure.
I told them what I tell others:
* Handguns are shooter specific. Like shoes,one size does not fit all.
* Short sight radius handguns are advanced tools intended for very specific application and/or experienced and well practiced shooters.
* Do not buy what works for some other person because some other person says it works for them!
Try everything and anything before you spend money on a gun.
In my students case she wound up very much preferring my full steel 9MM 1911 and was very accurate with it...Out to 15 ft.!
That was her functional range...Which for being a new shooter was very good. We started at .22 and went up to the 1911 9MM and then tried that .38. It was a struggle for them both.
You should have seen dudes face when he shot it, at 15' , and his pattern overall looked as though he'd been shooting 000 buck from 50 yds. away.
With shooting people forget or don't know that mass of the firearm is a direct function of the amount of recoil as felt by energy transfer.
The lighter the gun the greater the recoil will be.
As well the physically smaller & compact in size the gun the less comfortable the shot will be and difficult to grip the gun without regard to the guns mass.
This is a fact of physics without any dependence at all on gender, age or even shooters fitness/strength.
Last item; DO NOT think to carry or keep at home a gun intended to defend your life with that you cannot be functional with not just the first shot but across it's entire capacity.
Functional means combat accurate, not bullseye target shooting, of an ~8" diameter at 21 ft.
If your grouping is within that area then you pass. If your grouping is wider than that area then you fail for that distance and either need to train or seek a gun you can shoot reliably...Or plan to keep all attackers at distances _closer_ to you than 21' so that you can actually hit them (!).
8" is the approximate size of most human beings vitals at the chest (Heart, lungs, liver & spleen)
21' is the not an average distance based on any stats nor that of Dennis Tueller but rather is an arbitrary distance set to test handgun accuracy at more common justifiable shooting distance as for civilians. Yes some shootings for civilians have occurred at greater than 21'. But more so threat contact begins at 21' or less up to belly touching belly distance.
So for basic shooter skill testing 8" @ 21' is a good measure of function. I use it often.
- Janq is generally not a fan of sub-compact & lightweight handguns

Rochester General Health Systems is suspending a procedure called "power morcellation", which is used during hysterectomies. They are suspending it because it can possibly spread cancer to other parts of the body.
It's a technique used by surgeons to cut up tissue so it can be removed through a small incision. The FDA recently issued an advisory about the possible spread of cancer.
Anyone scheduled to have surgery using this procedure at Rochester General Health Systems will be offered other surgical options.
Last month, UR Medicine announced it will use a special surgical bag when morcellation is used so no cancer cells can be spread.

Middlesbrough v Sheffield Wed
Carayol 49′
Antonio 35′
Middlesbrough came from behind to salvage a draw with Sheffield Wednesday but they are still waiting for a first Championship home win this season.
Boro dominated for long spells but fell behind when Michail Antonio stabbed home from a corner.
The home side levelled quickly after the break through Mustapha Carayol but despite creating plenty of chances they could not force a winner.
Lukas Jutkiewicz came closest when he hit a stinging shot against the bar.
Trouble at home
- Middlesbrough are still chasing a first home win of the season and only their fourth league victory at the Riverside in 2013.
Dave Jones's side have now squandered nine points from winning positions this season and despite their third consecutive draw are yet to register a victory this term.
Boro, who have one win this season, created chances from the start with Jutkiewicz cracking a low 20-yard drive just wide early on and George Friend firing over after a neat one-two.
The hosts' pressure continued as Grant Leadbitter and Albert Adomah went close.
But Wednesday scored the opener on 34 minutes when a corner was nodded down into a crowd for Antonio to hook home from six yards out.
Tony Mowbray's men were back on the attack as Friend squared for Leadbitter to drill in a low shot that brought a good save.
But the visitors almost doubled their lead as Jonathan Woodgate blocked Liam Palmer's effort.
Boro levelled quickly after the break. Jutkiewicz got into the box and squared through a static defence for Carayol to stab home from six yards on 49 minutes.
And it was the hosts who finished stronger as Jutkiewcz broke into the box after a Leadbitter ball to hammer against the crossbar before Andy Halliday spurned a header at the back post.
Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray:
"Wednesday came with a game plan to go on the counter-attack. There were times they pressed forward and that gave us space to play.
"It was different from Blackpool (in Boro's previous home game) who banked up and got everyone behind the ball. Wednesday gave us a bit of room to play, but we were far from dynamic.
"We need to learn how to break teams down and finish them off.
"We had a lot of great chances, but need to start taking them."
Sheffield Wednesday boss Dave Jones:
"I thought we shaded the first half and they shaded the second, but we had two great chances near the end.
"We had a right go at each other at times and we were two quick sides who tried to play it the right way.
"I can't fault my players. They looked bright and sharp and could have won it.
"But Middlesbrough scored when we had a spell where we gave the ball away too cheaply. We might have got away with it two years ago in League One but you don't get away with it at this level."

I have not yet made a sour ale, although I have a lot of interest in brewing a Flander's Red/Brown or Kriek. There are some things that seem consistent for instance a minimum year long fermentation. Don;t really on hops for bittering only preservative qualities. Even these I am sure could be debated. I have theoretical knowledge of sour mashing, hold a mini mash for a couple days and introduce some form of lacto. keep it warm. yadda yadda I haven't heard if this is always necessary or adding a blend of yeast blend for sour ales will achieve similar results. I don't mind trying the mini sour mash. It is SWMBO that may ban me from ever brewing again of the house smells like off sauerkraut while I finish.
To get the complexity in a Flanders red or Lambic it needs to sit for at least a year or longer. For a good Flanders red or Lambic I would age it closer to three years. The organisms that create the flavor profile are very slow. During this time the flavor changes dramatically. If you just want to make a beer sour you can cut this time down, but it won't be nearly as good as one that has aged properly. Check out the Oud Bruin style or Berliner Wiesse for a shorter aging time on a sour beer.
Thanks. I am comfortable with the time of aging, however is sour mashing going to help the process or is skipping this acceptable too.
You can sour the beer with a sour mash or with pure cultures in the fermenter. A sour mash is often used to obtain a specific level of sourness, then the wort is boiled to kill the bacteria and stop the souring process. This can add a nice tang or sour undercurrent to the beer. Souring in a fermenter is not stoppable on the homebrew level other than running out of food (as most of us don't flash pastuerize our beer). So, yes, you can skip a sour mash and add cultures to the primary and/or secondary. Which cultures, when to add, and how much is up to you.
Thank you. That finally makes sense. I was not expecting to cut corners and achieve the same results. I just couldn't understand why some brewers did this and some did not and still wound up with the same style.

Lots of room and privacy
We drove from Chicago and it worked out great for us over Labor Day Weekend. We had 4 people and there was plenty of room. Caught some perch off of the rowboat. The cabin is very clean and it's on a large piece of land that's right on the water. We cooked on the gas grill and then sat by the huge fire pit after the sun went down. There's also a lot to do in the area. We drove about 45 mins north to the Menominee River for some great river rafting. We were going to rent ATV's in town but it was too late in the day. Great trip.

Random Thoughts
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it. Was learning cursive really necessary? Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say". I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying. My brother's Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, "Cuz we beat you, and you hate us." Classy, bro. Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart". How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said? Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm....Goonies" While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. I would like to officially coin the phrase 'catching the swine flu' to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night." Bad decisions make good stories. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem.... You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just arent doing anything productive for the rest of the day. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this.... ever. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away? I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste. When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes. Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles... As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood. I keep some 20 people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. I think that if, years down the road when some guy is trying to have a kid, and he finds out that he is sterile, most of his disappointment will stem from the fact that he was not aware of that condition in college. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but Id bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time... When my son was little he once asked me in the car..."Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell was I supposed to respond to that? I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit. I think the freezer deserves a light as well. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay. The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked i n the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. Theres nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner. |

Biological Research For Nursing
Publisher: SAGE Publications
One of the greatest challenges in nursing today is how to integrate
information from many basic disciplines‹biology, physiology, chemistry,
health policy, business, engineering, education, communication and the
social sciences‹into nursing research, theory and clinical practice.
Biological Research for Nursing is the only publication that helps nurse
researchers, educators, and practitioners meet this important challenge by
focusing on biological and physiological changes in healthy and unhealthy
populations from a nursing perspective.
Published quarterly, this essential journal offers original peer-reviewed
articles on:
* Normal and abnormal biological phenomena, such as pain management and
the effects of stress.
* Improvements in health care techniques developed through biological
and physiological research.
* New methods, instruments, and techniques for biological and
physiological health research.
* Theoretical foundations that increase understanding of biological and
physiological changes in health and illness.
* Pathophysiology and the biological foundations of nursing practice.
* Topics related to the teaching of the biological and physiological
bases of nursing practice.
Biological Research for Nursing features research papers, empirical and
theoretical articles, editorials, abstracts of recent dissertations, and
conference summaries that relate to nursing care written by scientists and
researchers in nursing and the basic sciences, such as:
Pathophysiology* Biochemistry* Medicinal Chemistry* Medical Physics*
Microbiology* Cell Biology* Developmental Biology *Genetics* Reproductive
Biology* Molecular Biology* Neuroscience* Pharmacology* Infectious Disease*
Oncology* Cardiovascular Disease* Pulmonary Function and Disease*
Dermatology* Wound Healing* Immunology* Anesthesiology* Endocrinology*
Gastroenterology* Hematology* Neonatology* Nephrology* Pathology*
Physiology* Nutrition* Pain Management* Anatomy.
