Book Description
Biochemical mechanisms within the bodies of plants and animals program almost all their activities to specific phases of periodic events such as the time of day, the state of the tide, and the season of the year. Those organisms living within the intertidal zone--the area between high and low tides--face many environmental challenges that are eased tremendously by such chronobiological means. This monograph provides an authoritative, up-to-date account of research on the workings of intertidal animals' biological clocks. The book begins with a description of how tides are generated, and how the difficulties involved in studying organismic tide-associated rhythms may be overcome. The rest of the work focuses on rhythms and their properties, and the nature of the clocks that govern them. Comprehensive in scope, the book synthesizes over 350 research papers and contains over 129 figures. It is intended as a sequel to the author's well-known 1974 monograph Biological Clocks in Marine Organisms, incorporating the many advances in the field since the publication of the earlier volume. Aquatic ecologists, animal behaviorists, comparative physiologists, marine biologists, chronobiologists, and interested general readers will all want to read this important new work.

Book Description
The master of the realist novel of nineteenth-century Spain, Benito Pérez Galdós, is the subject of these new studies. The master of the realist novel of nineteenth-century Spain, Benito Pérez Galdós, is the subject of New Galdós Studies, offered in memory of John Varey, author of Galdós Studies, the foundational text for contemporary Galdosian scholarship. Eamonn Rodgers describes Galdós's early readership and reception; James Whiston illustrates Galdós's creativity in Lo prohibido; Rhian Davies explores the enrichment of the novelist's language in Torquemada en la Cruz; Teresa Fuentes Peris demonstrates Galdós's radical critique of dominant social assumptions in Fortunata y Jacinta; Alex Longhurst deals with the representation of poverty in Misericordia while Lisa Condé detects a feminist intention in Tristana; Eric Southworth finds rich cultural and spiritual allusion in the same work; Nichols Round relates the deaths of children in the Torquemada novels and Angel Guerra to end-of-century ideological concerns.

Humor in Galdós
Author: Michael NimetzPublisher: New Haven : Yale University Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
"By focusing on humor as a positive element in Galdós' writing rather than an extraneous or expendable device, Mr. Nimetz presents the Spanish novelist as a figure of more than local significance. The Novelas contemporáneas, begun in 1881, are shown to be a summation of many kinds of realism developed earlier in the nineteenth century; moreover, the liberating faith in human endeavor found in Galdós' cycle is seen as the antithesis of the deterministic view of man in naturalistic novels of his own time. Galdós' major targets and weapons--romance and delusion, satire and irony--often resemble those of Balzac and Dickens, but the low-keyed humor with which he captured everyday events is very much his own. The delightfully humorous effects of his approach make him a fascinating transitional figure in the development of the modern novel."--Dust jacket.
