It is commonly assumed that there is an enduring link between individuals and their countries of citizenship. Plural citizenship is therefore viewed with skepticism, if not outright suspicion. But the effects of widespread global migration belie common assumptions, and the connection between individuals and the countries in which they live cannot always be so easily mapped. In The Scramble for Citizens, David Cook-Martín analyzes immigration and nationality laws in Argentina, Italy, and Spain since the mid 19th century to reveal the contextual dynamics that have shaped the quality of legal and affective bonds between nation-states and citizens. He shows how the recent erosion of rights and privileges in Argentina has motivated individuals to seek nationality in ancestral homelands, thinking two nationalities would be more valuable than one. This book details the legal and administrative mechanisms at work, describes the patterns of law and practice, and explores the implications for how we understand the very meaning of citizenship.

Tahiti has a rich history of oral tradition. Early visitors to the island transcribed recitations of myth, battle address, and land description. Until now their poetic organization has remained unexplored. From a computationally assisted analysis, this book describes early use of meter and parallelism and speculates on manner of composition. It sheds light on a poetic style unanticipated for Polynesia and remarkable among world poetries.

How the West Was Drawn explores the geographic and historical experiences of the Pawnees, the Iowas, and the Lakotas during the European and American contest for imperial control of the Great Plains during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. David Bernstein argues that the American West was a collaborative construction between Native peoples and Euro-American empires that developed cartographic processes and culturally specific maps, which in turn reflected encounter and conflict between settler states and indigenous peoples. Bernstein explores the cartographic creation of the Trans-Mississippi West through an interdisciplinary methodology in geography and history. He shows how the Pawnees and the Iowas—wedged between powerful Osages, Sioux, the horse- and captive-rich Comanche Empire, French fur traders, Spanish merchants, and American Indian agents and explorers—devised strategies of survivance and diplomacy to retain autonomy during this era. The Pawnees and the Iowas developed a strategy of cartographic resistance to predations by both Euro-American imperial powers and strong indigenous empires, navigating the volatile and rapidly changing world of the Great Plains by brokering their spatial and territorial knowledge either to stronger indigenous nations or to much weaker and conquerable American and European powers. How the West Was Drawn is a revisionist and interdisciplinary understanding of the global imperial contest for North America’s Great Plains that illuminates in fine detail the strategies of survival of the Pawnees, the Iowas, and the Lakotas amid accommodation to predatory Euro-American and Native empires.

"Electron microscopy reveals a great range of crystallite ultrastructure patterns in the calcite scales of the unicellular marine algae, Coccolithophyceae. These tiny scales, called coccoliths, have been found as fossils in strata as old as 180 million years (Early Jurassic). During the Late Cretaceous, Coccolithophyceae were especially abundant, and their coccoliths were important rock-building constituents. The extensive chalk deposits representing this epoch contain not only large numbers of coccoliths but also a great variety of species. Electron microscopy of samples from this interval reveals fossils of 172 species of Coccolithophyceae. Of these, 94 species are new. Of the 48 genera represented, 11 are new: Amphizygus, Angulofenestrellithus, Bidiscus, Broinsonia, Costacentrum, Gartnerago, Heteromarginatus, Hexangulolithus, Percivalia, Similicoronilithus, and Vagalapilla. Special significance is attached to first occurrences, because reworking can extend stratigraphic ranges of these small (1-20 μ) fossils. Last occurrences of groups of species, while less reliable, can also be useful as auxiliary stratigraphic markers when critically evaluated. Two distribution tables are presented, one arranged by stratigraphic first occurrence and the other alphabetically. Samples examined from Texas were compared to samples from Europe. The bulk of the Santonian-Campanian coccolith floras, in both Texas and Europe, are composed of 41 long-ranging and abundant species. Santonian-age samples contain a total of 105 species; 53 of these appeared first during the Santonian. The succeeding Campanian samples contain 137 species of which 51 are not present in Santonian samples. The evolutionary diversity observed in groups of species with restricted ranges has made it possible to define four new coccolith assemblage zones for the Santonian and Campanian: Cyclagelosphaera? chronolitha Zone, Amphizygus minimus Zone, Zygodiscus macleodae Zone, and Prediscosphaera germ anica Zone."--Pg. 7.

Quinn's study brings together the results of his nearly fifty years of research on the voyages outfitted by Sir Walter Raleigh and the efforts to colonize Roanoke Island. It is a fascinating book, rich in details of the colonists' experiences in the New World. Quinn "solves" the mystery of the Lost Colony with the controversial conclusion that many of the colonists lived with the Powhatans until the first decade of the seventeenth century when they were massacred.
