This is a book that began life as the vaguest thread of a simple idea without much of any real or intentioned substance that might have given it any real purpose or any perceivable direction. It is a book about the author’s own perceptions and ideas about how existence might still maintain of this life when material existence no longer has any immediate relevance for its continuing perpetuation. It has, however, evolved since that time into a serious exercise in expressive writing but with the primary emphasis directed always toward literary coloration and an attempt at imaginative dexterity. We exist today within a maelstrom of questionable misconceptions that remain convenient to our particular life moments and to which we all religiously adhere as the necessary requirement of our accustomed conditioning, with the basic tenet of que sera enabling us all to more comfortably maintain our daily lives in the manner that is most fitting to our purpose. This little effort began as a project based on an entirely hypothetical concept—the merest product of a rampant imagination. It is in no way intended as a statement of any of the popular convictions or beliefs that prevail today but is offered instead simply as a work of fiction and as little else. It does, however, express the sympathies and inclinations of the writer in the direction of his own thoughts and of his own suspicions. We all appear to be comfortable with our own philosophical concepts regarding the perpetuity of our own existences, and why should that not be the case? It might be helpful, however, particularly for those seekers of life questions to take a long look into the eyes of a new born child and explore some of the solutions to those mysteries that are lying there waiting to be discovered.

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark wove science and raw adventure together in their journals as they blazed a trail from St. Louis to the Pacific. Now, with fresh information drawn from many fields, Albert Furtwangler mines those journals for valuable insights into western American history as well as the process of discovery. Acts of Discovery argues that Lewis and Clark surpassed the enlightened instructions given to them by President Thomas Jefferson. They made a literal, large-scale experiment, probing the interior of a continent and weighing information that eventually would supersede the science, the politics, and even the artistic ideals of Jefferson and his age. Drawing on a background of interdisciplinary learning, Furtwangler illuminates the achievements of Lewis and Clark as naturalists, navigators, and diplomats who faced ever-new surprises as they worked their way west. He shows that their journals trace two very different patterns at the same time - as records of modern scientific reasoning and as a narrative of epic deeds in an American epic setting. Furtwangler also attempts to define Lewis and Clark's place in American history. He examines some ironic outcomes of westward expansion and conquest and brings out the peculiar courage of explorers who were the first (and almost the last) to cross the continent by pulling their way up the Missouri. He also compares Lewis and Clark's discoveries to those of other generations (from George Washington's early years as a surveyor of the new American interior, to the Apollo moon landings), discussing them in light of questions about progress posed by Francis Bacon, Henry Adams, and modern experimental scientists.

Galician audio/visual culture has experienced an unprecedented period of growth following the process of political and cultural devolution in post-Franco Spain. This creative explosion has occurred in a productive dialogue with global currents and with considerable projection beyond the geopolitical boundaries of the nation and the state, but these seismic changes are only beginning to be the subject of attention of cultural and media studies. This book examines contemporary audio/visual production in Galicia as privileged channels through which modern Galician cultural identities have been imagined, constructed and consumed, both at home and abroad. The cultural redefinition of Galicia in the global age is explored through different media texts (popular music, cinema, video) which cross established boundaries and deterritorialise new border zones where tradition and modernity dissolve, generating creative tensions between the urban and the rural, the local and the global, the real and the imagined. The book aims for the deperipheralization and deterritorialization of the Galician cultural map by overcoming long-established hegemonic exclusions, whether based on language, discipline, genre, gender, origins, or territorial demarcation, while aiming to disjoint the center/periphery dichotomy that has relegated Galician culture to the margins. In essence, it is an attempt to resituate Galicia and Galician studies out of the periphery and open them to the world.
