 Nabokov's Blues: The Scientific Odyssey of a Literary Genius By Kurt Johnson, Steve Coates 1999 | 395 Pages | ISBN: 1581950098 | PDF | 6 MB Although he had no formal training in biology, during the 1940s Vladimir Nabokov was an acknowledged expert on Blues, a diverse group of butterflies inhabiting some of the remotest parts of Latin America. In 1945, while serving as curator at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology, he published a radical new classification of Blues, a paper that initially caused a stir in the rarified field of lepidoptery.After the war, with the increasing movement of science toward theory and specialization, his groundbreaking work was largely forgotten. With the publication of Lolita in 1958 Nabokov himself turned away from formal scientific lepidoptery, though he never gave up his great love of collecting butterflies. It was nearly fifty years before scientists followed up on his pioneering work with a series of expeditions to the high Andes of South America. What they found led not only to new thinking about Nabokov's place in science but to fresh insights on the global movement of species and the threat of their extinction.Part biography of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, and part scientific detective story, Nabokov's Blues explores the rich and varied place butterflies hold in Nabokov's fiction, as well as far-reaching questions of biogeography and evolution, and the worldwide crisis in ecology and biodiversity.

Hsin-Huang Michael Hsiao, "Middle Class, Civil Society and Democracy in Asia " English | ISBN: 1138483672 | 2018 | 222 pages | PDF | 2 MB This book offers a timely analysis of the tripartite links between the middle class, civil society and democratic experiences in Northeast and Southeast Asia. It aims to go beyond the two popular theoretical propositions in current democratic theory, which emphasise the bilateral connections between the middle class and democracy on one hand and civil society and democracy on the other. Instead, using national case studies, this volume attempts to provide a new comparative typological interpretation of the triple relationship in Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand. Presenting a careful analysis and delineation of historical democratic transformation over the past thirty years, three discernible typologies emerge. Namely, there are positive links in Taiwan and South Korea, dubious links in the Philippines and Indonesia, and negative links in Thailand.
