Cleaning the sock drawer, Bahn to Byler

I gave up book-buying for Methodist Lent. Again, if anyone sees something they want my opinion about, ask.

Bawa - Plant-pollinator interactions in tropical rain forests Beattie - Floral evolution in viola Beaulier - Explaining Botswana's success, the critical role of post-colonial policy Beckwith - Thomas Jefferson 'Stout' Jackson, Texas strongman

Dotty Dumpling's Dowry, an excellent hamburger place in Madison, Wisconsin, used to have a picture of this gentleman hanging on the wall. I had always assumed he was an early Badger football hero. Not the case: he was a record-setting strongman on the carnival circuit. Also, he was one of the five or six Anglos in south Texas in the early twentieth century who actually gave a damn about Mexican-Americans.

Mae Aurelia Correia and Caetano Nozolini, Portuguese Guinea's fun couple! I was reading a wire service story about traditional matri-dominant wedding customs on islands off the west African coast. While not fully matriarchal -- anthropologists have yet to find a traditional society that was -- it's closer than most. And what do you get when you combine that with nineteenth century African history? You got it: African woman slave traders. Nozolini was her half-Italian husband.

You know, applying the American experience in the Philippines to current American escapades is a really dumb idea... unless what you're really interested in is killing strangers. If so, why not just get a van?

As my mind is faiding in my old old age, this type of thing is becoming more and more interesting to me.

> Bisin - Religious intermarriage and socialization in the United States

This is looking to be of personal interest to me, so yea I’m interested in hearing more about it if you’re willing to talk.

> Blockmans - Logistics of warfare in central Italy, 1527-1530

If I ever get around to writing another chapter of Brave New Old World, then this could be very useful as the Italian Wars got all disrupted by the Tlogotle virus.

> Boscaro - An introduction to the private correspondence of Toyotomi Hideyoshi

Very interested in this one. Hideyoshi was always my second favorite of the big three.

Cheers,
Mike

This particulary division of your sock drawer could benefit from a few "Berry, Michael V." entries, IMO. After all, how many living Mathematical Physicists can you name who have had their most notable achievements memorialized in a "Zippy the Pinhead" cartoon ?

I too am interested in the Hideyoshi paper. Is it currently available online?
