Fox Fables
No full textI find this book curious for two reasons. First of all, Schocken is a famous name in publishing. Salman Schocken emigrated from Berlin, where he had founded Schocken Verlag in 1931, to Jerusalem. In 1945 he founded Schocken Books in New York City. Did a Schocken Publishing House perdure in Palestine? Apparently! This book is explicitly acknowledged as "Printed in Palestine," Might this book have been among their first publications? That may make the book surprisingly valuable. The second reason is that this book uses Gustave Doré's illustrations for the fables of La Fontaine. I am unsure what this publication uses for "Fox Fables." Moses Hadas in 1967 has 119 of them based chiefly on the fables of Marie de France but including also some from Kalila and Dimna, Romulus, and Avienus. The beginning T of C here seems to list 155 items, but some of the last 40 may well be appendices or other non-fable materials.Language note: HebrewRabbi Berechiah ha-Nakda
The Tailless Fox (Thai-English)
No full textThe Thai title translates into something like Aesop Tales Set 2 Language 2: Part 3 fox tails cut off. I am surprised that this is my first bilingual English/Thai booklet. This is a 12-page landscape pamphlet, 7½ x 6¾, with lively illustrations that look as though they were generated on a computer. Sorry that I cannot read the Thai credits. Here a voice interrupts the tailless fox's claims to say that the speaker saw a tail in a trap and that he thinks it belongs to the speaker. Having heard that, the other foxes laughed at the tailess fox. The tailess fox was ashamed, so he ran away. Notice that tailess has one l inside the text but two on the cover. Moral? Reasonable man could never be fooled. There are five others in the set.Language note: Bilingual: English/ThaiTranslated from the French by Craig Hil
Generation of non-classical light by four-wave mixing in semiconductors
No full textWe describe experiments to generate non-classical quadrature squeezed states of light by four-wave mixing in semiconductors. Squeezing can be achieved with either the diagonal or off-diagonal components of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility tensor. We have demonstrated squeezing by self-phase modulation in ZnS at 780 nm, and by cross-phase modulation in ZnSe at 960 nm. Possibilities for generating squeezed light in other materials by these techniques are discussed
Travellerscapes : tourism research and transnational anthropology ; paper for the conference 'Alltag der Globalisierung. Perspektiven einer transnationalen Anthropologie', January 16-18, 2003, Institute of Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main
No full textEven though tourism has been recognised as an important field for transnational research today, there are few attempts to place tourism in the context of transnational theories or to think about transnationalism from the perspective of tourists. I argue that in researching tourist practices one can add important aspects to transnational approaches. The prerequisites of mobility and interaction for example are the features chosen by backpackers to describe what their Round-The-World-Trip is about. A form of tourism is adopted, or created, that itself confronts many aspects of globalisation: First of all there is the immense dynamic that is involved. Backpackers try to cover as many places and experiences as possible, travelling at high speed. They adopt all kinds of touristic experiences ranging from beach to adventure to culture tourism. They don't focus on a specific area or country but travel the world. They cross national borders perpetually. Additionally they form a transnational network in which they interact with strangers of similar backgrounds (other backpackers, tourist professionals). This network helps them interacting with people from different backgrounds (the socalled hosts or locals). Considering my research Backpackers forge a certain identity from these transnational practices which I want to name globedentity. Globedentity expresses a type of identity construction that not only refers to the individual (I) but reflects the world (globe) in this identity. This globedentity is not fixed but is perpetually re-created and re-defined. It also embraces the increasing popular awareness of globalisation which backpackers, coming from highly educated middle class backgrounds, in particular have identified with. Due to the constant awareness of the latest global social, cultural and economic developments in these educated milieus they know exactly which tools to use to become successful parts of their societies
