the lawsuit filed in the northern district of california against the department of homeland security ( dhs ) and its acting secretary , elaine duke , is the first to be filed by a university seeking to stop the trump administration’s recently announced decision to end the daca program , which has allowed nearly 800 , 000 undocumented young people to legally live , work and study in the united states .
during this two - year period , the system will be designed and built to support the new open access models being pursued by uc press as well as cdl’s current publishing programs . throughout the two - year grant from the andrew w . mellon foundation , uc press and cdl will engage other university presses and library publishing units to ensure the system will meet the needs of a range of organizations . uc press and cdl have built in a plan for long - term sustainability to ensure that this resource will continue to serve these communities and will realize its potential to re - invigorate the domain of monographic publishing within the humanities and social sciences .
cdl executive director laine farley comments , “i’m delighted we can work with our colleagues at uc press to contribute to the new infrastructure needed to move both library and press publishing into a more efficient and forward looking position . this project is an ideal blending of our expertise to realize a common vision . ”
we are honored to receive this award with our author , honored to be counted among an august list of california book award recipients , and most of all , grateful to james karman for a years - long collaboration that has been both fruitful and rewarding .
with luminos , uc press is taking steps to ensure the longevity of monographic publishing while adhering to the same exacting editorial standards for which it has been known for more than 120 years . this entails combining the best of oa and digital publishing with uc press’s rigorous selection and editorial processes to create a wholly new approach to sustainable and affordable monograph publishing .

the author will be asked to secure $ 7 , 500 either from their home institution and / or another independent funding source . for faculty in the university of california system the reduced amount is $ 5 , 000 . this subsidy requirement is for titles of no more than 90 , 000 words and 25 images . additional subsidy costs will be required for titles exceeding this length , and / or those with heavy illustration programs , multimedia components or other complexity .

“neither i , nor the university of california , take the step of suing the federal government lightly , especially not the very agency that i led , ” napolitano said . “it is imperative , however , that we stand up for these vital members of the uc community . they represent the best of who we are — hard working , resilient and motivated high achievers . to arbitrarily and capriciously end the daca program , which benefits our country as a whole , is not only unlawful , it is contrary to our national values and bad policy . ”
for authors whose traditional monographs have been relegated to sales of just a few hundred , an open access model offers the potential to exponentially increase the discoverability and readership of their work . uc press’s model also supports rich multimedia content—essential in order to keep pace with new digital modes of scholarship .
uc press e - books collection , 1982 - 2004 , includes almost 2 , 000 books from academic presses on a range of topics , including art , science , history , music , religion , and fiction .
“the university faces the loss of vital members of its community , students and employees . it is hard to imagine a decision less reasoned , more damaging , or undertaken with less care . . . . defendants’ capricious rescission of the daca program violates both the procedural and substantive requirements of the apa ( administrative procedure act ) , as well as the due process clause of the fifth amendment . ”
there are a number of potential funding sources beyond for authors’s institutional contribution ( such as departmental / dean’s funds , the library’s oa fund , campus grants etc . ) . please discuss those options with your uc press editor .

in 1911 goudy changed the name of his village press , the private press he had established with will ransom in 1903 , to the village press and letter foundery . the name change appeared as the imprint for the ﬁrst issue of typographica : a quarterly treating of printing , letter design and allied arts , issued in september of that year . ( goudy came in for a lot of ribbing for his archaic—and to some pretentious—spelling of “foundery” . ) the magazine contained an essay—really a manifesto—entitled “on letter design” by goudy which opens with these words : “to attempt a revision of our letter forms as expressed in types is to set one’s self a difﬁcult task , requiring patient waiting for tangible results and recognition . there is to be met and resisted the possibility of ridicule , the accusation of egotism from the unthinking , of obstruction even , by those whose commercial instincts may be touched . we have reached the turning of the ways . if there is to be revision someone must lead . letter design no longer lives as an artistic craft . to restore the craft to its original purity of intention and make it once more alive is to go back to the very foundations of typography . ” it was set in kennerley .

this publication presents the first documentation of nzadi , a bantu language spoken by fishermen along the kasai river in the democratic republic of congo ( drc ) . it is the product of extensive study by the authors and participants in field methods and group study courses at the university of california , berkeley , and consists of ten chapters covering the segmental phonology , tone system , morphology , and sentence structure , followed by appendices on the nzadi people and history and on proto - bantu to nzadi sound changes . also included are three texts and a lexicon of over 1100 entries , including a number of fish species . prior to this work , nzadi had not even been mentioned in the literature , and at this time still has no entry as a language or dialect in the ethnologue . of particular interest in the study of nzadi is its considerable grammatical simplification , resulting in structures quite different from those of canonical bantu languages . although nzadi has lost most of the inherited agglutinative morphology , there are still recognizable class prefixes on nouns and a reflex of noun class agreement in genitive constructions . other areas of particular interest are human / number agreement , tense - aspect - mood marking , non - subject relative clause constructions , and wh question formation . this succinct , but comprehensive grammar provides broad coverage of the phonological , grammatical and semantic properties that will be of potential interest not only to bantuists , africanists and those interested in this area of the drc , but also to typologists , general linguists , and students of linguistics .

°many of the inconsistencies and flaws in goudy’s types are surely the result of his situation as a one - man operation . he had no morison , griffith , lange or aaron burns to provide feedback and criticism of his efforts . in this goudy is also the forerunner of the great majority of today’s font designers whose efforts are often less than they could or should be because of the same lack of outside input .
comprehensive reference grammar of ingush , a language of the nakh branch of the nakh - daghestanian or east caucasian language family of the central caucasus ( southern russia ) . ingush is notable for its complex phonology , prosody including minimal tone system , complex morphology of both nouns and verbs , clause chaining , long - distance reflexivization , and extreme degree of syntactic ergativity .
beyond chutzpah : on the misuse of anti - semitism and the abuse of history , norman g . finkelstein ( 2005 )
in the narrow , nice and conservative shop of typography , frederic goudy was something of a bull - - big , boisterous and overproductive . born in bloomington , ill . , the year the civil war ended , and transplanted to the dakota territory as a teen - ager , he was a roving businessman who dabbled in the design of advertising layouts . by 1890 he was pushing real estate in chicago , then the largest printing center in the united states and in 1893 the site of the columbian exposition ; the ideas of john ruskin and william morris , rejuvenating arts and crafts , were in the air . the year after the exposition , goudy founded , with c . lauron hooper , his own press , the booklet press , which became the camelot press . his first type font , cut in 1896 , was an alphabet of capitals called camelot ; but another 15 years went by before he - - now transplanted to new york and running , with his highly competent wife , bertha , the village press - - became in his own eyes a professional type designer . having set the proof sheets of an h . g . wells volume in caslon , he became dissatisfied enough to design , in a week ' s time , a face he called kennerly , as well as an elegant capital face called forum . his early types were taken up enthusiastically in england : the british typographer sir bernard newdigate wrote of kennerly that
since the first caslon began casting type about the year 1724 , no such excellent letter has been put within the reach of english printers .
between 1902 and 1911 goudy designed many of his typefaces not for type foundries but for businesses . he pioneered the idea of the custom or bespoke typeface with his work for the pabst brewing company , the clothier kuppenheimer & company , mandel brothers department store , ﬁnancial news publisher clarence barron , baltimore printer norman munder and , most importantly of all , book publisher mitchell kennerley . * essentially goudy took the notion of the private press typeface inaugurated by william morris and extended it beyond the insular arts & crafts community to the larger world of commerce . kennerley , the typeface designed for the door in the wall by h . g . wells ( published by mitchell kennerley , 1911 ) , was the turning point in his career , the moment when type design began to overtake lettering and private press printing as his principal activity .
today , jeffers’ tor house in carmel is still listed among the must - see literary landmarks of california . his life and works , however , are perhaps less well known outside of the state . a prolific , critically acclaimed career in poetry , was , karman argues , likely eclipsed by jeffers’ singular political views—views that had a profound influence on his art . eschewing nationalist fervors in the midst of two world wars and deriding what he saw as an anthropocentric disregard for nature well before the emergence of the modern environmentalist movement , jeffers’ poetry and thought contain aesthetic , social , and ecological insights of enduring relevance—with , in some cases , urgent implications for our present .
most type designers today dismiss the accomplishments of frederic w . goudy ( 1865–1947 ) because they fail to understand the state of type design in his lifetime , especially at the outset of his career .
faye ginsburg is the david b . kriser professor of anthropology at new york university where she is also the director of the center for media , culture and history ; the graduate program in culture and media ; and co - director of the nyu council for the study of disability . a recipient of macarthur , guggenheim and neh fellowships ( among other awards ) , she is known for her ongoing interest in cultural activism , from her first book , contested lives : the abortion debate in an american community ( recipient of four major prizes ) , to her longstanding work on the development of indigenous media worldwide ( mediating culture ) , to her current book project ( with rayna rapp ) : disability , personhood and the “new normal” in 20th century america .
wappo is an indigenous language , generally regarded as a language isolate , which was once spoken in the russian river valley , just north of san francisco , california . this reference grammar is based on the speech of laura fish somersal , its last fluent speaker , who died in 1990 , and represents the most extensive data and grammatical research ever done on this language . the grammar focuses on morphosyntax , particularly nominal , verbal , and clausal structures and clause combining patterns , from a functional / typological perspective .
at the beginning of his career goudy designed typefaces as an outgrowth of his work as a lettering artist . in this he was no different from eckmann , auriol , otto hupp , peter behrens and a host of other commercial artists in europe and america . none of these individuals was a type designer per se . with the possible exception of rudolf koch , goudy is the only one of this generation—or of the succeeding generation—to go on to devote his career to type design .
the advantages are many—first and foremost the preservation of the scholarly monograph . monographs have long been under siege . shrinking library budgets and rising costs result in higher prices and consequently , presses must reduce the number of titles they publish , regardless of the merits of the work .
this was the world of type making when goudy began his career with the design of camelot in 1896 for the dickinson type foundry . there were still independent punchcutters such as edward prince—famous for cutting types for william morris and nearly every important british private press of the time—and staff punchcutters such as charles h . beeler , jr . at mackeller , smiths & jordan and charles e . heyer at barnhart brothers & spindler . but the future of type making lay with type designers rather than with punchcutter , with individuals who drew letters to be pantographically cut rather than with those who physically cut the punches as in the days of gutenberg and jenson . goudy was the most important of this new breed .
in recent years there has been a surge of scholarly interest in the policies and practices of protection in british colonies in the nineteenth century .
this pioneering book is the prototype of the etymological thesaurus that has been the goal of the sino - tibetan etymological dictionary and thesaurus project ( stedt ) since 1987 . it presents nearly 170 proto - tibeto - burman etymologies in the semantic area of the reproductive system , along with discussions of possible chinese cognates . special attention is paid to patterns of semantic associations between the reproductive system and other areas of the lexicon .
malaria is one of the world’s leading health problems . more than 40 percent of the world’s population live in areas where there is a risk of contracting the disease . according to the centers for disease control and prevention , 300 million to 500 million cases of malaria occur each year , and nearly 1 million people die of the disease annually – largely infants , young children and pregnant women , most of them in africa .
luminos shares the cost burden of publishing in manageable amounts across the academic community . for each title , uc press makes a significant contribution , augmented by membership funds from supporting libraries . authors will then be asked to secure a title publication fee to cover the remaining costs . additional revenue from supporting libraries and print sales will help to support an author waiver fund .
as one of the world ' s most forward - thinking publishers , uc press gives voice , reach and impact to innovative research and exceptional scholarship . with a global circulation , our journals span the humanities , social sciences , and natural sciences , with key subject areas that include history , literature & criticism , film & media , music , religion , and sociology .
monographs are the cornerstone of scholarly research in the humanities and social sciences , but have long been under siege . shrinking library budgets and rising costs result in higher prices . the upshot is that presses must reduce the number of titles they publish , regardless of the merits of the work .
the study underlines the growing utility of the crispr method , a powerful gene editing tool that allows access to a cell’s nucleus to snip dna to either replace mutated genes or insert new ones . results appear this week in the early online edition of proceedings of the national academy of sciences .
bier , a professor of biology at uc san diego , also noted that “the ability of this system to carry large genetic payloads should have broad applications to the future use of related crispr - based ‘active genetic’ systems . ”

shindaiwa is known worldwide as a legendary leader in the design and manufacture of high - performance professional japanese quality brushcutters and trimmers for the outdoor power equipment industry .
marketed to professional users who demand and appreciate high quality products , shindaiwa products are known for optimum performance and durability . every product is researched , developed and tested by skilled engineers and then manufactured using the hgihest quality components available so when it’s used on the jobsite , it performs day in and day out .
the company’s long history includes the development of some of the industry’s most iconic products , such as the t27 and t270 trimmers , the bp35 backpack brushcutter and the b45 brushcutter . these innovative products were followed by the b530 , b450 , c350 , and c230 , all of which continue today as shindaiwa’s biggest sellers in latin america . today shindaiwa offers a variety of products , including brushcutters , trimmers , chain saws , motorized sprayers , blowers , hedge trimmers , and more . shindaiwa equipment is powered by dependable two - stroke engine technology , which is well suited for the latin american market .
the strategy is to continue high - quality manufacturing at the lowest possible cost . the potential for increased efficiency through combined sourcing and manufacturing is significant . evaluation and implementation is underway but will likely not be completed anytime soon .
the absolute impact on pricing is yet to be determined . however , dealers and customers should rest assured that the echo and shindaiwa brands are positioned to be competitive long into the future .
this is another exciting benefit of the merger . the combined engineering groups bring more design resource and capability to both brands . in addition , we now have the unique ability to create products for each brand that complement each other , instead of compete against each other . this allows each brand to maintain its own “persona” in the market . it also provides incentive for dealers to carry both brands , rather than one or the other .
this is a case where distribution and marketing strategies must work hand - in - hand . one of the fundamental marketing objectives of this merger is that the brands complement each other . distribution needs to be able to execute this concept in order to be successful . the only way to do that is to have a single distributor handling both brands . this allows the salesman to help the dealer choose products that best suit his customers’ needs , regardless of brand . unfortunately , that means some distributors will lose a line in order to execute the strategy .
dealers stand to be the big winners . all dealers will have access to both brands . for shindaiwa dealers , they will have access to a variety of products from echo including high - end homeowner products , an expanded lineup of chainsaws , power pruners and our new bed redefiner , just to name a few . echo dealers will also benefit by having access to shindaiwa’s lineup of full - featured professional products , including the highest - performance blowers in the market . even better , distributors will be able to offer the two brands in a single program that allows dealers pricing , freight , inventory and advertising advantages . this comes from working with a single distributor instead of two competing distributors .
how will the lines be branded in the u . s . and japan ?
both the echo and shindaiwa brands are alive and well . both have strong equity in their respective target markets and loyal customer bases and will continue into the future . marketing for shindaiwa has always been handled through the portland headquarters . they have done a good job positioning , building and promoting the brand . the brand will now be marketed out of lake zurich , il , separately with its own strategy , personality and feel . marketing the brand outside of the americas has been transferred back to japan .
shindaiwa inc . , a tualatin seller of outdoor power equipment , will lay off of 37 of its 92 employees because it will surrender sales and marketing in europe , asia and the middle east to its japanese parent company , a shindaiwa executive said today .
the layoffs were announced to employees on march 16 and will be complete by wednesday , said greg imus , shindaiwa ' s vice president of sales , marketing and technical services . he said the company had not decided how many of shindaiwa inc . ' s remaining 55 employees will be offered the chance to transfer to echo .
this whole merger was just decided on in january ,
imus said .
we ' re kind of on the fast track of trying to organize everything .
the merger of these operations will result in an efficient organization with lower costs , allowing both brands to be even more competitive in the north and south american markets .
