Adelaide was from a large middle class family with Jewish roots, living in the more affluent West End of London. Tim was an Irish immigrant, escaping the poverty of his homeland and living along the docks in the East End with the labouring poor. A slum area, the East End was running alive with all manner of vermin and streets fouled with horse dung and urine. Tim did battle each day for what little work there might be available on the docks. How Tim and Adelaide ever met was a mystery that always puzzled the family. Threatened with expulsion from the family by her mother and father, Adelaide married Tim despite their objections. Tim's violent ways and the poverty of living in the East End were compounded by the birth of eight children that ultimately took a huge toll on Adelaide's body and her mental well-being. Young Tilly watched her mother struggle to keep house, home, and marriage together and food on the table for her eight children. Monkery Bottom follows a period of Tilly's life from the time her father first marched off to fight in WW I, until she immigrated to Canada with her two children in 1961. It parallels the struggles of her own mother's life as Tilly endeavours to raise two children as a single parent.

"Monkey Bottom Redux" completes the Monkey bottom Trilogy, which commenced with "Monkey Bottom" and the affair between Navy Admiral Chet Dillon and a female government employee on Naval Base Norfolk, which he commanded. The affair was cut short with the shooting death of his mistress by his wife in a neglected part of the naval base called Monkey Bottom, where the Navy wants to lease land for a casino. The disgraced admiral is forced into retirement. In the sequel, "Revenge in Monkey Bottom", Dillon leaves the country to work as a liquor rep servicing Navy bases in the Caribbean. He returns to Norfolk to help secure the liquor contract for the prospective Pamunkey Indian Resort and Casino. Because the admiral's mistress had Pamunkey blood and her murder was on sacred Pamunkey ancestral land, the tribe's "Enforcer", "Robert", kills the admiral in an act of blood revenge. In "Monkey Bottom Redux", "Robert" is a mercenary for the revolutionary FARC in Colombia, where he assassinates a high-ranking Colombian Army general and flees the country via Mexico City to San Diego where a former Army Ranger buddy produces fake ID's. He returns to Norfolk with hopes for a quieter life. He falls in love with an employee at the temporary Pamunkey casino who was the former admiral's lover in Puerto Rico. Navy NCIS and Army CID collaborate in their search for "Robert", which will require all their skills and resources. The highest levels in the Pentagon and State Department are brought into play on legal and extradition issues, with help from DOJ. What is "Robert's" fate?

In the prequel, "Monkey Bottom", a former Navy Flag Officer, Chet Dillon, is forced out of the Navy after NCIS discovers and investigates an adulterous affair with a female government employee on his base. The admiral's mistress is murdered by his wife, who later dies in a horrific auto accident, caused indirectly by the admiral. In this sequel, Dillon relocates to Puerto Rico to hide from his shame and disgrace. He is hired as a liquor wholesale company sales rep to service Navy accounts in the Caribbean. Dillon's company pulls him back to Norfolk temporarily to assist in securing the liquor contract for the prospective Pamunkey Indian/City of Norfolk resort casino. In so doing, he becomes fair game for people seeking vengeance on him. Enter a Native American who does dirty work for his tribe and who seeks revenge for very different reasons. Does Dillon live or die? Is he subjected to 18th century Iroquois atrocities? The story takes the reader to former Navy bases in PR and Eleuthera, the Great Dismal Swamp, Navy Fleet HQ, and examines the casino project and wholesale liquor business that tie into Dillon's fate and an NCIS investigation.

As the editors of the first book on the squirrel monkey prophesied in 1968,* there has been an incredible expansion in primate research during the past 16 years. Their projection that the squirrel monkey would play an increasingly important role in this research effort has also come to be true during the ensuing years. One inadvertent result of the rapid growth, however, is that it has become more and more difficult for investigators to keep track of new information, both in their own disciplines and in related fields. For scientists who study and use the squirrel monkey in research, this problem is particularly pronounced, because articles are often published in specialized and disparate journals. We felt that a new synthesis of the vast amount of information on Saimiri would resolve this problem and would provide an extremely valuable com panion volume to the first book. The idea grew out of a small symposium held at the IX Congress of the International Primatological Society in Atlanta, Geor gia, during August, 1982. Following the format of The Squirrel Monkey, ad ditional authors were invited to discuss advances in areas which had experi enced exceptional growth or to review basic information that would be of practical value to future researchers. Even with focused topics and synthetic reviews, the wealth of new data resulted in many long manuscripts. In response to the continuing problems with Saimiri nomenclature, Richard Thorington has provided us with a definitive statement on squirrel monkey taxonomy.

Leaders in cognitive psychology, comparative biology, and neuroscience discuss patterns of convergence and divergence seen in studies of human and nonhuman primate brains. The extraordinary overlap between human and chimpanzee genomes does not result in an equal overlap between human and chimpanzee thoughts, sensations, perceptions, and emotions; there are considerable similarities but also considerable differences between human and nonhuman primate brains. From Monkey Brain to Human Brain uses the latest findings in cognitive psychology, comparative biology, and neuroscience to look at the complex patterns of convergence and divergence in primate cortical organization and function. Several chapters examine the use of modern technologies to study primate brains, analyzing the potentials and the limitations of neuroimaging as well as genetic and computational approaches. These methods, which can be applied identically across different species of primates, help to highlight the paradox of nonlinear primate evolution--the fact that major changes in brain size and functional complexity resulted from small changes in the genome. Other chapters identify plausible analogs or homologs in nonhuman primates for such human cognitive functions as arithmetic, reading, theory of mind, and altruism; examine the role of parietofrontal circuits in the production and comprehension of actions; analyze the contributions of the prefrontal and cingulate cortices to cognitive control; and explore to what extent visual recognition and visual attention are related in humans and other primates. The Fyssen Foundation is dedicated to encouraging scientific inquiry into the cognitive mechanisms that underlie animal and human behavior and has long sponsored symposia on topics of central importance to the cognitive sciences.

Run into the history of the Bull City! There is much history in the Bull City, and some of it can be found within these pages. How Bull Durham smoking tobacco put Durham, North Carolina, on the map. How a plastic cow and an oversized flag cut the city council down to size. How it felt to travel back in time at the Duke Homestead. How sportsman Al Mann and "Mom" Ruby Planck left indelible marks on their hometown. Journalist and local historian Jim Wise shows you that while Durham's stories are its own, readers may find the people, places and truths in them resonate with hometowns everywhere.

Discard's protagonist, conversing with a forbidden love interest, declares, The real problem with English majors is that we attempt to attach 'universal significance' to every detail of our lives. Thus disclosed is the challenge of selecting from a myriad of universally significant snippets those that truly define an individual - in this case, one who struggles to accommodate his values with what he perceives as an often valueless society. Discard's series of flashbacks combine with cultural polemics on 1960s - 1980s America to explain the attitudes and interests of a Viet Nam veteran whose indifference towards the limits of normalcy permit some self-fulfillment even in the context of self-defeat
