[Letter] 1935 October 17, Pitcairn Island, [to] Henry C. Hoffman / Fred M. Christian.
No full textAutograph letter, signed.Christian writes from Pitcairn island to thank Hoffman for sending the $2, and to request that he sell more of the painted, pressed leaves which he encloses along with two baskets his wife made for Hoffman. Christian goes on to answer Hoffman\u27s questions about the size, dominion, population (210), language (English and Tahitian), schooling, climate, and grave customs on Pitcairn Island. He remarks that only one grave of the Bounty mutineers was ever marked, that being John Adams, for whom the British government sent over a tombstone. Christian also observes that they currently have nine visitors "none of them want to leave," and tells Hoffman about their housing, livestock, religion, and crops. Pitcairn Island was originally settled by mutineers of the HMS _Bounty_ led by Fletcher Christian (played in the movie versions by Clark Gable and Errol Flynn); they revolted in April 1784 against the alleged cruelties of Captain William Bligh, intermarried with Tahitian women, and then settled with their families on Pitcairn. John Adams was the only one of the original mutineers left alive in 1808 when an American ship _Topaz_ investigated the island. He was not able to convincingly relate the fates of the other mutineers, but the author of this letter, Fred Christian, is probably an original descendant of Fletcher
In defence of embodied cognition: a reply to Fred Adams
No full textFred Adams (Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 9(4): 619–628, 2010) criticizes the theory of embodied cognition (EC) which holds that conceptual and linguistic thought is grounded in the brain’s perceptual and sensorimotor systems. Among other things, Adams claims that: (1) EC is potentially committed to an implausible criterion of sentence meaningfulness; (2) EC lacks claimed advantages over rival accounts of conceptual thought; (3) relevant experimental data do not show constitutive, but only causal, involvement of perception in conception; and (4) EC cannot account for the comprehension of abstract concepts. I respond to Adams that: (1) EC is not committed to an implausible criterion of meaningfulness, though it may be committed to holding that comprehension admits of degrees; (2) EC does have its claimed advantages over rival views; (3) the data do make a strong case for constitutive involvement and (4) a broad and comprehensive EC approach probably can account for the comprehension of abstract concepts.Christopher Letheb
Correspondence between Zebulon Weaver, Fred L. Weede, W. H. Woodbury, David C. Chapman, Mark Squires, Junius G. Adams, March 1932
No full textZebulon Weaver (1872-1948) was a lawyer and U.S. Representative from western North Carolina. He was a member of the North Carolina Park Commission and was involved in the land acquisition process that went towards establishment of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and development of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This set of eleven letters deals primarily with an article published in the March 1st, 1932 issue of the "Asheville Citizen Times." The article highlighted the Tennessee delegation’s role in the Congress supporting development of the park ignoring the role of North Carolina Representatives like Zebulon Weaver. The letters revolve around this issue of misrepresentation in the Times and attempt to clarify the situation. Following are brief summaries of each of these letters:
Fred L. Weede to Zebulon Weaver, March 2, 1932
In this letter Weede refers to an enclosed story about Knoxville taking credit for legislation regarding the Smoky Mountain National Park. He also states that proposals for federal appropriation for a Skyline Parkway and a Skyline Highway was not going to receive any endorsement from the Asheville Chamber of Commerce. He urges Weaver to find a way to publicize the cooperation provided by the Chamber of Commerce towards Weaver’s work affecting highways and the National Park.
Zebulon Weaver to W. H. Woodbury, March 4, 1932
In this two page letter Weaver acknowledges the receipt of Woodbury’s letter and of the Haywood County deed showing the certificate of registration. He also express hurt about the “Asheville Citizen” falsely representing Col. Chapman as giving credit to Mr. Warren and Mr. Taylor for an amendment, introduced in the House, to the Emergency Road Bill providing for road development in the National Park. According to Weaver, he had suggested the amendment and had worked towards getting the support of the House members.
Zebulon Weaver to Fred L. Weede, March 4, 1932
In this three page letter Weaver acknowledges receiving Weede’s letter of the 2nd and states that the “Asheville Citizen” had wrongfully credited Congressman Taylor from Tennessee for securing the amendment to the Road Bill which was beneficial to the development of the National Park. The rest of the letter mostly includes Weaver’s detailed discussion of his role in the passage of the amendment in an effort to clear the misrepresentation of Tennessee’s role and to uphold the work of the North Carolina delegation in the Congress towards the park.
Zebulon Weaver to David C. Chapman, March 4, 1932
In this two page letter Weaver refers to the letters he had received regarding the article that appeared in the Asheville Citizen about lack of support from the North Carolina delegation regarding the amendment to the Road Bill promoting development of the park. Weaver clarifies for Chapman the train of events that actually led to the introduction of the amendment, his role in bringing it to the House, and how Congressman Warren had opposed it.
David C. Chapman to the Asheville Citizen, March 7, 1932
In this letter Chapman refers to the March 1st issue of the “Asheville Citizen” that portrayed him as crediting Congressman Taylor and Congressman Warren in the House for securing an appropriation for the Great Smokies in a recent emergency road legislation. Chapman clarifies that Representative Warren had in fact opposed this measure and it was Representative Weaver who had argued for it following which the measure was passed and the latter should be duly credited for that.
David C. Chapman to Zebulon Weaver, March 7, 1932
In this letter Chapman acknowledges receiving Weaver’s letter and clarifies to the latter that he had not made any statements to any newspaper crediting Congressmen Taylor and Warren for the amendment to the House bill securing support for the Smokies. He also mentions writing to the Asheville Citizen and asking them to correct the news item that included a quote from Chapman as praising Congressmen Taylor and Warren for their work in support of the park.
David C. Chapman to Mark Squires, March 9, 1932
In this letter Chapman refers to how he had been wrongly quoted in the “Ashville Times” as stating that Congressmen Taylor and Warren had supported an amendment to the road bill securing funds for the Smokies development. In reality, he had not given any newspaper interviews and it was Zebulon Weaver who was responsible for the passage of the bill.
Junius G. Adams to Zebulon Weaver, March 9, 1932
In this letter Adams tells Weaver he would find out why Weaver’s name was dropped from the Times article and how Chapman had written to the Times correcting a previous report where Weaver had not been given proper credit for his work supporting the Smoky Mountain National Park.
Fred L. Weede to Zebulon Weaver, March 10, 1932
In this letter Weede refers to the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and their actions regarding the Skyline Parkway and Skyline Drive, his attempts to publish a story about Weaver’s role in securing the amendment to the Road Bill, and the possibility of a temporary measure that would allow the Government to go in and start work on the National Park.
Zebulon Weaver to David C. Chapman, March 12, 1932
In this letter Weaver thanks Col. Chapman for writing to the Asheville Citizen clarifying Weaver’s role in bringing the amendment to the road bill and securing funds for the park. He further states if the President vetoes the bill, he still hopes to get a bill through the Congress securing the amount necessary for forestry and park work and he would work with Chapman regarding this.
Zebulon Weaver to Fred L. Weede, March 12, 1932
In this letter Weaver acknowledges the support provided by the Asheville Chamber of Commerce towards the development of the park. He also states he will work towards getting the amendment to the Road bill passed in the Senate, discuss with the Park service about introducing a bill reducing the acreage necessary for the government to begin development, and hoped the Park would be established soon as a national project

The Degenerate Era
No full textEDITOR'S INTRODUCTION | The universe we know now is but one stage in an almost unimaginably long evolution, starting with the Big Bang when space and time were not yet separated and ending when there are no stars and individual atoms can be as large as a galaxy. In this excerpt from their Fathom free seminar, Five Ages of the Universe, University of Michigan physicist Fred Adams and NASA astronomer Greg Laughlin discuss the characteristics of The Degenerate Era, when stars have stopped evolving and the universe is filled with nothing but brown and white dwarfs, black holes and neutron stars.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/55288/3/main.csshttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/55288/2/5agesupernova.jpghttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/55288/1/index.htm
