Comment Dept. of Publications, zephyrin, March 29, 2004 at 1:47:43 PM CEST Rwanda's Genocide Linda Melvern's (1)Linda Melvern is an Honorary Fellow of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, Department of International Politics. An investigative journalist, she previously worked on the Sunday Times in London, including as a member of their award-winning Insight Team. Since leaving the paper to write her first book, she has written widely for the British press. Her book on the fifty-year history of the UN was turned into a major television series, UN Blues, for Channel Four television. She writes for British newspapers and magazines and lectures and broadcasts on international issues. She has been researching the circumstances of the genocide in Rwanda for nearly eight years and her account of the genocide, A People Betrayed. The Role of the West in Rwanda?s Genocide was published in September 2000 by Zed Books. It was chosen book of the year in The Observer by Geoffrey Robertson, QC and she was the runner-up in the 2001 Martha Gellhorn journalism award. The book is in its third impression and an updated and revised edition will be published in 2003. via Anthropology Matters book A People Betrayed: The Role of the West in Rwanda's Genocide (2)MELVERN, LINDA. 2000. A People Betrayed: The Role of the West in Rwanda's Genocide, London: Zed Books. [ISBN: 185649831X] is now available in german (3)MELVERN, LINDA. 2004. Ruanda: Der Völkermord und die Beteiligung der westlichen Welt. München, Kreuzlingen: Hugendubel, Diederichs. [ISBN: 37205248668]. "The subject of A People Betrayed, by the British investigative journalist Linda Melvern, is the catastrophe that descended on the tiny Central African nation of Rwanda in 1994. Historians and analysts of these events have long linked western policies to the "genocidal frenzy" that gripped Rwanda for twelve unforgettable weeks -- a period during which the rate of mass killing exceeded that of the Jewish holocaust by roughly fivefold."

Comment Dept. of Publications, kerleone, March 24, 2004 at 12:28:08 AM CET Cooper: Bibliography of Tierra del Fuego 
Well, let's don't talk about open research, let's do it. Again I scanned a book for my own use which is most likely without copyright now. This time it's John M. Coopers brilliant bibliography from 1917 about all kinds of works about tierra del fuego, containing useful short comments about all of the travelers, scientist and missionaries (quite a few!). Half of the book is a also useful systematic but basic ethnography thrown together by single observations of various autors. At there's a map too.
Update: It's on a new server. Thanks korikori!

Comment Dept. of Publications, kerleone, March 4, 2004 at 9:13:13 AM CET US Bans Editing of Scientific Articles from Certain Nations The government of the US prohibits the editing of scientific articles from Libya, Sudan, Iran, and Kuba because they are under trade embargo. While publishing of a manuscript, which is completly ready for print, is allowed, not even a comma may be changed, and no images may added. This makes it more or less impossible for a journal like Current Anthropology to publish scientific articles of authors from those countries, as translation will be also prohibited.

Comment Dept. of Publications, kerleone, February 4, 2004 at 12:28:55 AM CET Markham: Narratives of Pedro Sarmiento de Gambóa I scanned a english translation from the two voyages of Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, done by Clements Markham in 1895 for the Hakluyt Society for my own use. Maybe someone will find it useful too, thats why I publish it here. Clements Markham died in 1916, thats why its public domain now. Sarmiento de Gamboa was a famous spanish navigator who tried to build a settlement in the straits of magellan in the years 1581-1590 (which ended in a dramatic loss of ships and lifes).

I scanned a map from Martin Gusinde "Die Feuerlandindianer" for my own use. Maybe someone will find it useful too, thats why I publish it here as Gusinde's books are rare to find. Its a little bit of patchwork, but enough for a first overview. Detailed bibliographic information will follow.

As tourism has developed to be quite an issue inside cultural anthropology I thought I'd provide a data-source for research in that field: "For the past 45 years, the Travel Industry World Yearbook -- The Big Picture has provided marketers in as diverse sectors as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, convention and visitor bureaus, destinations, cruise companies, travel agencies, advertising, accounting and law, investment banking, and economists and educators, with a better understanding of the events, issues and challenges that shape the travel and tourism industry.
With its own, unique approach, the Yearbook highlights the main events and searches beyond the headlines to root out causes and effects and what they mean for the travel industry. Statistics are an important part of our presentation, but equally important is covering regions, countries, and industry sectors with in-depth analysis. This remains our operative method."
