DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1998. This is Volume X of the fifteen in the Sociology of Gender and the Family series and offers a sociological study of Chinese familism. The Golden Wing written in 1948 is a sociological study written in the form of a novel. Its theme is refreshingly simple in conception but like the painting of a bamboo leaf, its austere form conceals a high degree of art. The story sets out to examine why, of two families living side by side in a Fukien village in South China, and related by kinship and business interests, one should continue to prosper through adversity and the other should first flourish and then decline.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn his first day as a freshman at Wichita State University, Rusty Aaron wanted nothing more than to attend his 8:30 a.m. introductory biology class. However, obstacles continued to threaten his attendance and perhaps his entire collegiate career. A peculiar fellow named Canoby Markloy was one. A distinguished man who professed to be the third president of the United States was another. There was also a suspicious man in a dark suite and Rusty’s long-time nemesis, Johnny Stockton. Perhaps the biggest obstacle was an attractive blue-eyed blonde who declared her undying love for the freshman. In addition to encountering other peculiar characters, Rusty received an ominous threat that the Void was out to end his existence. To complicate matters, both Markloy and the president advised Rusty that we would face an important choice before the end of the day. Will he make the correct choice? Will the Void end his existence? Will he give it all up to spend his life with the beautiful blonde? Will Rusty escape the shackles of Great Plains mediocrity and achieve a semblance of importance? Or was it all nothing more than a dream or an elaborate prank concocted by Johnny Stockton? All will be revealed by the end of Rusty’s first day as a freshman at Wichita State University.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1867 the total number of buffaloes in the trans-Missouri region was conservatively estimated at fifteen million. By the end of the 1880s that figure had dwindled to a few hundred.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe authoritative 1890 edition with an introduction by Cairns Craig and Frazer’s own afterword. Published originally in two volumes in 1890, this extraordinary study of primitive myth and magic led Scottish anthropologist J.G. Frazer to identify parallel patterns of ritual, symbols and belief across many centuries and many different cultures. His observations on the mysteries of fertility and death, and the rites of the sacrificial king who must die to save his people, overturned much of contemporary intellectual thinking, not least because of the enlightening or ‘heretical’ parallels it suggested with the Christian religion. Frazer’s elegant and authoritative style, and the breadth of his learning inspired a whole generation of ethnographers and comparative anthropologists, and had a particularly powerful effect on many other thinkers and writers such as Sigmund Freud, D.H. Lawrence, Joyce, Yeats and T.S. Eliot. This definitive volume includes the unabridged original 1890 edition as well as several essays and lectures by Frazer. ‘Frazer’s work has epic scale yet mesmerizing fineness of detail. We see the great structures of civilization forming and melting against a background of elemental mystery. The effect is cinematic and sublime.’ Camille Paglia
