This paper analyzes the key sociological, philosophical and historical underpinnings of environmental neuroscience. The paper first outlines the technological and conceptual developments that preceded environmental neuroscience, and grounds the field within a wider context of the ’post-genomic’ sciences. It then turns to earlier attempts to relate human psychology to experiences within specific natural and physical environments going back to the nineteenth century, before asking whether, in particular, recent concerns about urbanization and climate change might have motivated a recent to such research topics. Lastly the paper asks environmental neuroscientists to pay attention to the politics of their field, and especially to the politics of consistently advocating for more ‘natural’ or ‘traditional’ environments for human beings. The paper concludes, optimistically, with an argument that environmental neuroscience is a field ‘in the making,’ with some scope yet to intervene on what will become its core facts and assumptions.

Michael Balcon is generally recognised for his stewardship of the Ealing Studios from 1939 and the portfolio of highly esteemed films which emerged over the decade 1942-52. Perhaps as a consequence of the critical preoccupation with those films, less attention has been given to his activities as Director of Production of what was Britain's largest film organisation during the 1930s: Gaumont British (G-B). Based upon archive material held by the British Film Institute, The Michael Balcon Special Collection (MBSC) and the US box-office information contained in Variety, this article sets out to redress partly this state of affairs by concentrating on the organisation's efforts, 1934-36, to become a major player in the world film industry; a rival in scale and output of the principal Hollywood studios.

Una guerra intestina en la cual se enfrentan grupos armados ilegales y fuerzas del Estado, este es el cuento de Colombia. Una lucha campesina para crear un gobierno popular, este es el cuento de las FARC. Un armamento desproporcionado para brindar una (auto) defensa a los ciudadanos y luchar por la paz... ese es el cuento de los paramilitares y de las Fuerzas Armadas. La palabra « cuento » evoca una visión simplista, la verdad de uno y el descrédito de los demás. Un « cuento » se refiere a la...

Dans la lancée du mariage en 1722 d’une Phélypeaux de La Vrillière avec un Bréhan de Plélo, s’inscrivait à peu d’années d’intervalle, chez les Phélypeaux et leurs proches, une série de trois alliances bretonnes non moins caractéristiques. En 1725, Marie-Anne Phélypeaux d’Herbault, fille de l’intendant des armées navales Antoine-François d’Herbault mortellement blessé en 1704 à la bataille de Velez-Malaga, épousait Gabriel-Bertrand du Guesclin (1692-1750), descendant d’Olivier du Guesclin, frè...

The first two chapters review the intellectualist interpretation of religion and ancestor worship and examine' the rise of the sociological approach. Chapter Three proposes definitions of key terms, differentiating cults of the dead from cults of collective clan ancestors and of immediate jural superiors. Chapter Four analyses the links proposed between unilineality and ancestor worship. Chapter Five discusses the functionalist approach to a belief in life after death. Chapters Six, Seven, Nine, Ten and Eleven. summarize important work done among some of the African peoples who worship ancestors. Chapter Eight looks at Fortes' theory of ancestor worship and authority. Chapters Twelve to Fourteen look at the relevant data from India, China, Japan and Melanesia.
