The sequential imperative : general cognitive principles and the structure of behaviour /
:
In The Sequential Imperative William Edmondson explains how deep study of linguistics - from phonetics to pragmatics - can be the basis for understanding the organization of behaviour in any organism with a brain. The work demonstrates that Cognitive Science needs to be anchored in a linguistic setting. Only then can Cognitive Scientists reach out to reconsider the nature of consciousness and to appreciate the functionality of all brains. The core functionality of the brain - any brain, any species, any time - is delivery and management of the unavoidable bi-directional transformation between brain states and activity - the Sequential Imperative. Making it all work requires some general cognitive principles and close attention to detail. The book sets out the case in broad terms but also incorporates significant detail where necessary.

New Readings in Arabic Historiography from Late Medieval Egypt and Syria : Proceedings of the themed day of the Fifth Conference of the School of Mamluk Studies /
:
New Readings in Arabic Historiography contributes to research on Arabic texts of history from late medieval Egypt and Syria. Departing from dominant understandings of these texts through the prisms of authenticity and "literarization," it engages with questions of textual constructedness and authorial agency. This edited volume consists of 13 contributions by a new generation of scholars. Each of the volume's three parts represents a different aspect of their new readings of particular texts. Part one looks at concrete instances of textual interdependencies, part two at the creativity of authorial agencies, and part three at the relationship between texts and social practice. New Readings thus participates in the revaluation of late medieval Arabic historiography as a critical field of inquiry.

The Treasurer of the Center has just received from Miss Ellen M. Cushman a gift of five hundred dollars, in memory of Louise Kossuth Green, "who loved Egypt and enriched the lives of many people by her successful teaching of ancient history in the Junior High School of Montclair, New Jersey. She visited Egypt in 1909, and her memories of her trip became living pictures to her pupils." It is pleasant to think that some of the Fellows appointed by the Center to work in Egypt may be able to carry on the torch lighted by a gifted teacher half a century ago.
