These developments, together with increasing contacts between Western scholars and Tibetans, have created a widening circle of English-speakers in government, business, academia, and elsewhere who need to speak or write Tibetan with precision and clarity. For these people, and for others who want to communicate with Tibetans in their own language, Professor Goldstein's Dictionary will be an indispensable aid. The first scholarly English-Tibetan dictionary, as well as the only one that is semantically sensitive, this work specifies the Tibetan terms that correspond to the submeanings of a single English term. Containing roughly 16,000 main entries, most of which have multiple subentries, the Dictionary treats a total of 45,000 lexical items. Each entry includes both the written Tibetan orthography and a phonemic notation to indicate pronunciation. Grammatical features are also noted, and all examples of usage are presented with the romanticization of the written Tibetan and phonemic notation of the spoken forms. An introductory essay familiarizes users with the main features of Tibetan grammar. Read more...

More lesbian poems, novels and plays, as well as secondary literature, have been produced during the last one hundred years than during all the previous centuries put together.The Historical Dictionary of Lesbian Literature serves two primary functions: to provide further information to those who are already familiar with the field, and to explain it to those who are just getting acquainted. Several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on important writers such as Sappho, Colette, Mary Wollstonecraft, and many others who are less well known are included. Other entries deal with the styles, themes, literary movements, publishers, and outstanding works of the genre. It is hoped that the entries, taken together, will provide an idea of the factors, which have influenced the development of the lesbian identity as an interaction between readers and writers of all kinds of literature. Also included are a chronology and an introduction depicting the progression of the genre, and a bibliography for further research. Read more...

An attempt afterwards made against it by the Persians was unsuccessful, from a sudden influx of the sea, while the troops were crossing the bay to attack the town a great part of the Persian force was destroyed, the remainder made a hasty retreat. (Herod, viii. 127.) There was a contingent of 300 men sent by Potidaea to the united Greek forces at Plataea. (Herod, ix. 28.) Afterwards Potidaea became one of the tributary allies of Athens, but still maintained a certain metropolitan allegiance to Corinth. Certain magistrates under the title of Epideminrgi were sent there every year from Corinth. (Thuc i. 56.) In B. c. 432 Potidaea revolted from Athens, and allied itself with Pcrdiccas and the Corinthians. After a severe action, in which the Athenians were finally victorious, the town was regularly blockaded it did not capitulate till the end of the second year of the war, after going through such extreme suffering from famine that even some who died were eaten by the survivors.

More than 450 international practitioners and academics contribute 1,569 signed entries that cover country-by-country histories (for those of us with a burning interest in the development of Freudianism in Peru), psychoanalytic concepts and notions, biographies, and major works. Handy features include a thematic topical outline, a chronology from 1815 to 2004, a bibliography of Freud's works, and a set of translations of technical terms into five European languages. The index is comprehensive, and each article is accompanied by See Also references, a bibliography, and suggestions for further reading. Bottom Line The articles are straightforward and reasonably comprehensible, but there is no material critical of psychoanalysis. There is also no mention of the fact that there has been little qualitative support for Freud's theories and that, indeed, the psychiatric and psychological communities have largely repudiated the strict psychoanalytic approach. University librarians who serve faculty members enamored of Lacanian postmodernism can make them very happy with this work. Otherwise, more general encyclopedias, such as Read more...

Is it a cosmetic? A drug? A nutrient? It’s becoming more and more difficult to tell the difference with the cosmetic companies combining the three. And unlike with food additives, the FDA has little control over what goes into the products that claim to make you look more beautiful–even though cosmeceuticals (cosmetics that purport to have druglike benefits) have skyrocketed into a multibillion-dollar industry. So before you slather on that “wrinkle-reducing” cream or swallow a “skin-rejuvenating”vitamin, find out what’s in your health and beauty products with A Consumer’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients. This updated and expanded edition gives you the facts you need to protect yourself and your family from possible irritants, confusing chemical names, and the exaggerated claims of gimmicky additives. With 800 new ingredients found in toiletries, cosmetics, and cosmeceuticals–everything ranging from shampoo to shaving cream, bath lotions to Botox–this alphabetically organized guide evaluates them all, and includes targeted information for children and for people of color.
