After the Victorians: The Historical Turning Point in McEwan's On Chesil Beach
No full textThis article examines the common view that Ian McEwan's novel On Chesil Beach is an affirmation of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Instead, the roots of McEwan's ideas are traced back to the Victorian period, locating On Chesil Beach in a thematic tradition with a long pedigree in modern British literature. Through a critical engagement with McEwan's oeuvre, the author examines the moral implications that accompany the notion of a historical turning point.This article was written with the support of a research grant from Hanyang University
Partisanship and ideology are likely to shape how women will react to Hillary Clinton and Carly Fiorina’s candidacies
No full textIn Congress, the representation of women currently stands at around 20 percent – far lower than it should be. But how can we encourage more women to run for office? Past research shows that in the 1980s and early 90s, women running for national office inspired other women to get involved in politics, but this did not occur in 2008, despite Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin’s presidential and vice-presidential runs. In new research which measures young women’s interest in political involvement, A. Lanethea Mathews-Schultz, Bryan W. Marshall, and Mack D. Mariani find that the extent to which young women see themselves as likely to participate in politics is now much more tied to partisanship and ideology

Meliphaga phrygia subsp. tregellasi Mathews
No full text<i>Meliphaga phrygia tregellasi</i> Mathews <p> <i>Meliphaga phrygia tregellasi</i> Mathews, 1912a: 402 (Victoria).</p> <p> Now <i>Anthochaera phrygia</i> (Shaw, 1794). See Salomonsen, 1967: 436, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 304, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 622–623.</p> <p> HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 691851</b>, adult male, collected at Mulgrave, 37.55S, 145.12E (USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 3 December 1908, by Thomas Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2812) via the Rothschild Collection.</p> <p> COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ Victoria, South Australia.’’ The holotype bears Tregellas’ original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it is illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 525, opp. p. 404, text p. 405), where it is confirmed as the type of <i>tregellasi</i>. The following specimens are paratypes: <b>AMNH 691834</b> (Mathews no. 3153), sex?, Gippsland, undated, (entered in catalog only as ‘‘ Victoria’ ’); <b>AMNH 691837</b> (not found in catalog but collected on same day as next), female, Bayswater, 26 December 1908; <b>AMNH 691838</b> (Mathews no. 3143), female juvenile, Bayswater, 26 December 1908. Three other specimens are possible paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when he received them: AMNH 691833, male, Blackwood, South Australia, 8 June 1909; AMNH 691839, male, Melton, 6 February 1905; AMNH 691849, male, Lang Lang, 1898. AMNH 691850 (14718) Moorabool, December 1895, is not a paratype, as it was not cataloged by Mathews until 5 November 1912, after the 31 January 1912 publication date of <i>tregellasi</i>. Other specimens in AMNH were collected too late or were never in Mathews’ collection.</p> <p> This species is usually placed in the genus <i>Xanthomyza</i>; but based on their phylogenetic analysis of molecular data from their studies on the Meliphagidae, Driskell and Christidis (2004: 953) merged the genus <i>Xanthomyza</i> in the genus <i>Anthochaera</i>.</p> <p> McAllan (2007: 140) discussed the spelling of the genus <i>Xanthomyza</i> and decided that the original spelling by Swainson, <i>Zanthomiza</i>, was a valid and available name. Christidis and Boles (2008: 186) and Higgins et al. (2008: 622) accepted this interpretation, without mentioning the subsequent publication by Schodde et al. (2007: 276), pointing out that McAllan had failed to consider the relevant article in the Code (ICZN, 1999: 42, Art. 33.2.3.1), under which ‘‘ <i>Xanthomyza</i> is a justified emendation, with Swainson (1837) as author, after Salomonsen (1967), and should be accepted as the correct spelling.’’ Thus, when the original genus is used in taxonomic lists, the spelling <i>Xanthomyza</i> should be used.</p>Published as part of <i>Mary, 2011, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 9.

No full textIt is with great pleasure that we bring you Volume 15, Issue 1 of the First Peoples Child & Family Review. Although this issue was not guided by a particular theme, the articles are connected by a common narrative of rights and responsibilities. The articles remind us that we all have a right to participate in matters that affect us and a responsibility to uphold that right for everyone. This includes the right to participate in society and its institutions equitably and in a manner that is relevant to the individual and/or group.
