The chapters in Human Spatial Memory: Remembering Where present a fascinating picture of an everyday aspect of mental life that is as intriguing to people outside of academia as it is to scientists studying human cognition and behavior. The questions are as old as the study of mind itself: How do we remember where objects are located? How do we remember where we are in relation to other places? What is the origin and developmental course of spatial memory? What neural structures are involved in remembering where? How do we come to understand scaled-down versions of places as symbolic representations of actual places? Although the questions are old, some of the answers-in-progress are new, thanks to some innovative theorizing, solid experimental work, and revealing applications of new technologies, such as virtual environments and brain imaging techniques. This volume includes a variety of theoretical, empirical, and methodological advances that invite readers to make their own novel connections between theory and research. Scholars who study spatial cognition can benefit from examining the latest from well-established experts, as well as milestone contributions from early-career researchers. This combination provides the reader with a sense of past, present, and future in terms of spatial memory research. Just as important, however, is the value of the volume as a touchstone resource for researchers who study perception, memory, or cognition but who are not concerned primarily with the spatial domain. All readers may find the fact that this volume violates the trend toward an ever-narrowing specialization refreshing. Chapters from cognitive psychologists are alongside chapters by developmentalists and neuroscientists; results from field studies are just pages away from those based on fMRI during observation of virtual displays. Thus, the book invites integrative examination across disciplines, research areas, and methodological approaches.

On 3 May 1968, in the courtyard of the Sorbonne, following a meeting held by a group of gauchiste students, the police were called amid rumours of impending violence. The students involved in the gathering were from the Nanterre faculty on the outskirts of Paris where, over the course of the previous year, tensions had been building between militant students and university authorities. Matters had taken a turn for the worse when, on 22 March 1968, radical elements occupied the administrative tower of the Nanterre faculty in protest over the arrest of a number of comrades during an Â�anti-Â�V ietnam protest earlier in the week. This occupation led to the creation of the mouvement du 22 mars which brought together the diverse groupuscules active on the suburban campus and included figures such as Daniel Â�C ohn-Â�Bendit. From this moment on, students increased their militant activity, eventually forcing the doyen to close the faculty on 2 May. This closure explains why the Nanterre students found themselves at the heart of the French university system on 3 May. When the police moved in, the first riot of mai 68 ensued. Clashes between the forces of order and the surprisingly determined and highly mobile students set the trend for the coming week. Between 3 and 10 May – in the absence of the Prime Minister Georges Pompidou (on a state visit to Afghanistan) and amid the silence of President de Gaulle – the protest movement gathered momentum as students formulated their demands. Initially, they were outraged by the treatment doled out during and as a consequence of the 3 May riot. The imprisonment of a number of students, the occupation by the police of the Sorbonne and their omnipresence in the student Latin Quarter provided enough ammunition for what had started as a minority to gradually attract support from the wider student population. The number of participants on demonstrations grew, the level of violence was cranked up with every passing day and the movement began to see widening support from the largest student union (Union nationale des étudiants de France (UNEF)), a university teachers’ union (Syndicat national de l’enseignement supérieur (SNESup)), a movement of lycée students (Comités d’action lycéen (CA L)), as well as increasing sympathy from the general public. Such conditions paved the way for the pivotal ‘Night of the barricades’.

Voices from the Korean War presents a collection of first-person accounts of those who served in the Korean War. The Korean War is often dubbed the "Forgotten War," although more than 36,000 soldiers died in this three-year conflict. In Voices from the Korean War, author Douglas Rice makes certain the men who served are not forgotten as he shares first-person accounts from seventy-nine soldiers who fought in the war from June of 1950 through July of 1953. Voices from the Korean War follows the soldiers as they trek and fly over the mountainous terrain of the Korean peninsula. Through these eyewitness accounts, hear a soldier describe what happened to a small group of North Korean villagers who refused to divulge their location. Listen in as a wounded soldier tells a flight nurse the story of how he was rescued by American soldiers as he lay wounded in a North Korean home. Learn how some prisoners of war walked their imaginary dogs to irritate their captors. This compilation of different soldiers' perspectives conveys what it must have been like to be directly involved in the conflict. It serves as a reminder of the challenges and the sacrifices the soldiers made in the name of war.

Книга присвячена польсько-українському протистоянню напередодні Другої світової війни, під час нацистської окупації і в перші роки після неї. Основну увагу приділено подіям на Холмщині (головно від часу акції нищення православних церков у 1938 р. до масової депортації українського автохтонного населення в 1945—1947 pp.) і на Волині (головно в 1943—1944 pp., коли конфлікт був найкривавіщим). Наводяться також окремі матеріали про Галичину (включно з Надсянням і Лемківщиною), однак ширше питання про події в цьому регіоні будуть висвітлені в окремому томі. Книга включає дослідження, а також добірки документів, спогадів і матеріалів дискусії, що велася напередодні відкриття на Волині 11 липня 2003 р. пам'ятника польським і українським жертвам міжнаціонального конфлікту. Видання підготоване завдяки підтримці Фонду Теодора і Магдалини Бутреїв при Освітній Фундації Петра Яцика, Торонто, Канада.

Я хожу и думаю. Я хожу и думаю — и думаю я о Федоре Ивановиче Шаляпине. Сейчас ночь; город угомонился и засыпает: нет его назойливых звуков, нет его бессмысленно-пестрых красок, которые в течение всего дня терзают слух и зрение и так оскорбительны среди осеннего покоя и тихого умирания. Тихо на темной улице; тихо в комнате — и двери отперты для светлых образов, для странных смутных снов, что вызвал к жизни великий художник-певец. И я хожу и думаю о Шаляпине. Я вспоминаю его пение, его мощную и стройную фигуру, его непостижимо подвижное, чисто русское лицо — и странные превращения происходят на моих глазах…
