The British and the Hellenes
Authors: Holland Robert , Markides Diana 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Greek revolt against Turkish rule in the 1820s, and the ensuing establishment of an independent Hellenic Kingdom, was the principal precursor of an age of nationalism in the eastern Mediterranean world. Amongst the Great Powers, Great Britain thereafter played the most critical role in struggles to expand the frontiers of Greece beyond their initially confined extent. Through a focus on events leading to the cession of the Ionian Islands to Greece in 1864, the often bloody process of Cretan unification climaxing in 1913, the adhesion of the Dodecanese to Greece in 1948, and the travails of British colonial rule in Cyprus through to independence in 1960, the book develops a comparative overview of the United Kingdom's engagements with the modern Hellenic experience. At the heart of the various themes covered by this volume is the interaction between internal and external forces shaping the futures of divided island societies. In exploring the resulting patterns the authors provide an original insight into the political and social morphology of the eastern Mediterranean. Although the principal context is provided by Anglo-Hellenic relations, the nature of the struggles necessitate a close attention to Ottoman decline and post-Ottoman succession, Great Power rivalries, ethnic and communal disintegration, the early history of international peace-keeping, and decolonization after 1945. In tracing these preoccupations, the often neglected significance of the eastern Mediterranean is more accurately situated in relation to British authority overseas and its limits. Although the policy process is carefully charted, the essential concern is with struggles of mastery within islands where Britons and Greeks, amongst others, found themselves frequently at odds. In evoking the engagement between British power and Hellenic nationalism, a fresh perspective is given to the modern history of the eastern Mediterranean, and the Balkan and Near Eastern worlds to which they were intimately connected.
An Unfortunate Regime: The Experiment of Cretan Autonomy, 1898–1906
Authors: Holland Robert , Markides Diana 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The years which followed the eviction of Ottoman power from Crete have a special significance for this study. We saw earlier how Gladstonian ‘reform’ failed to contain the dynamics of Hellenic nationalism in the Ionian Islands. Would a solution short of enosis in the form of autonomy under international supervision fare any better in Crete? The viability of such a transitional and inevitably ambiguous regime had a particular resonance for Great Britain, whose wider interests remained bound up with a steady but carefully controlled move towards a new, and as yet ill-defined, Eastern order. Yet the complexities surrounding the high commissionership of Prince George in the island posed an even broader question. Was it possible for the higher needs of general peace to be squared with fierce Balkan struggles of nationalism and ethnic identity which any alteration to the status quo seemed to generate? This conundrum was to lie at the heart of much European diplomacy before 1914. We shall therefore be dealing with a genre of interlocking internal and external questions in which the origins of modern international peacekeeping inevitably loom large.
Economists’ and Psychologists’ Experimental Practices: How They Differ, Why They Differ, and How They Could Converge
Authors: Hertwig Ralph , Ortmann Andreas 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We all value the notion of interdisciplinarity. But, principles notwithstanding, dialogues across borders do not occur very often. Why is this so? There are myriad hurdles that stand in the way of transcending the limits of our disciplines, ranging from the incommensurability of theoretical frameworks and languages to differences in subject matters to mundane institutional barriers (e.g., interdisciplinary work is not a good bet for getting tenured).
Introduction
Authors: Dyson Tim , Gráda Cormac Ó 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Most dictionary definitions of ‘famine’ equate it with food scarcity and widespread hunger. They tend to remain silent on the demographic aspects, although the extra mortality caused by famines offers one easy and obvious gauge for ranking famines. By this reckoning, for example, the Great Irish Famine of the 1840s was the greatest in nineteenth-century Europe. By the same token some of the modern famines highlighted in media accounts are ‘small’ by historical standards. Excess mortality, however, is only one aspect of famine demography. Famines typically reduce births and marriages too, and the migrations that they often give rise to may either increase or reduce the death toll. There are differences also between how modern famines kill and how historical famines did so. Modern famines differ too in who they kill; they tend to be more class-specific and they seem even more likely to target males than females than famines in the past. Moreover, famines often have demographic causes as well as consequences; and their consequences may be long-term as well as short-term.
Famine Disease and Famine Mortality: Lessons from the Irish Experience, 1845-50
Authors: Mokyr Joel , Gráda Cormac Ó 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
It is commonplace to observe that one of the greatest changes of the modern age is not only that life expectancy is much longer than a century or two ago, but that there has been a radical change in the causes of death. Even in the nineteenth century, infectious disease was by far the biggest cause of death. In our own age, though these diseases have not quite disappeared and some even threaten to make a comeback, they have clearly been relegated to a secondary role in a11 but the poorest countries. This paper argues that this observation is central to an understanding of the nature of past famines, and of why they may differ significantly from modern famines.
Famine Mortality in Nineteenth-Century Finland: Is there a Sex Bias?
Authors: Pitkanen Kari J 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Sex differentials in historical mortality have been examined in a large number of studies. Even though most findings indicate that mortality differentials between the sexes have been relatively small until the twentieth century, historical records have revealed some patterns and trends which have been common in historical populations. In nineteenth-century Europe male excess has been the norm in infant mortality as well as in most age groups of the adult population. In contrast, children from about 5 to 14 years of age usually show excess female mortality. In many populations the female disadvantage is evident also during women’s reproductive years. Severa] authors acknowledge that biological factors can contribute to sex differentials in mortality, and yet, there is a wide consensus that both the historical and present mortality sex differentials are largely culturally determined (e.g. Hart 1989; Klasen 1998; Lopez 1983; Tabutin 1978; Tabutin and wmems 1998; Wi1lner 1999).
The Garden and the River
Authors: Harris Frances 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In his own day Evelyn was best known for his writings on forestry and gardening, but now it is this diary for which he is chiefly notable. The more famous journal of his friend Samuel Pepys covers part of the same time-span, and since the two moved in similar circles, some of the same events as well. But Pepys’s diary is a vivid, intimate, often scandalous revelation of self during a single decade of his young manhood. Evelyn’s is the personal chronicle of the whole of a long, busy, useful, apparently exemplary life in all its external events: journeys, visits, and encounters, crises and rites of passage, curiosities and remarkable occurrences, public and private duties.
Seraphick Love
Authors: Harris Frances 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
If Evelyn continued to be wary of female company at court, it was nor so much for fear of sexual temptation as because he remembered his former mockery at the hands of the ‘misses’. To Anne Howard he protested that it was not her sister he was avoiding but her companion; ‘there was a ‘ it with her. whom I fear’d’. Anne assured him that on the contrary he would find their friend Margaret as ‘humble, Religious, and Serious’ as he could wish. Sceptical, sure that he was still being teased, he nerved himself to make a courtesy visit to the two young women.1
The Serpent in the Garden
Authors: Harris Frances 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
‘Oh that I did love nothing but God and you’, Margaret wrotte in her anniversary letter. For all her rapturous celebration of the friendship Evelyn Was always aware that Godolphin remained central in her life. In her prayers, she told him, he was ‘often the first ways the second, that is after one: and some times both together’.1 Though the slight suggestion that he should feel himself a rivali was probably unconscious, it was dear that they both struggled to reconcile a conflict between human and divine love in which Evelyn’s focus was on Margaret and hers was elsewhere.
General Background

Abstract
The Soma is a god. He cures the sharpest ills that man endures. He heals the sick, the sad he cheers; he nurses the weak, dispels their fears. The faint with material ardour fires, with lofty thought the bad inspires. The soul from earth to heaven he lifts, so great and wondrous are his gifts. Men feel the god within their veins, and cry in loud exalting strains.
A Structural Typology of Ayahuasca Visualizations
Authors: Shanon Benny 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this chapter I present a systematic typology of the structural types that Ayahuasca visualizations may take. Paradigmatically, the types surveyed are experienced when the eyes are closed. However, all the structural distinctions introduced here, as well as those pertaining to interaction, semantics, and narration which are introduced in the next chapter, can also apply to visualizations experienced with the eyes open. As indicated in the previous chapter, full-fledged visions are less likely to be experienced when the eyes are open; yet, this does happen.
The Themes of Visions
Authors: Shanon Benny 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the previous chapter I analysed the contents of Ayahuasca visions in terms of the specific items that appear in them. In doing this, I have followed what is standardly done in the anthropological literature when the issue of content is addressed. In general, what are noted are the types of things that drinkers see under the intoxication. Such an analysis pertains to the micro-level, but there is also a macro-level.
Ideas, Insights, and Reflections

Abstract
All reality is one in substance, one in cause, one in origin ... and every particle of realty is composed inseparably of the physical and the psychic. The object of philosophy, therefore, is to preserve unity in diversity, mind in matter and matter in mind ... To rise to that highest knowledge of the universal unity is the intellectual equivalent of the love of God.
Non-Visual Perceptions
Authors: Shanon Benny 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
You can shout loudly in a ‘small stil1 voice’. You can scream without anyone hearing you shouting with this soundless ‘small still voice’. Anyone can do this. Just imagine the sound of such a scream in your mind. Depict the shout in your imagination exactly as it would sound. Keep this up until you are literally screaming with this soundless ‘small still voice’. This is actually a scream and not mere imagination. Just as some vessels bring the sound from your lungs to your lips, others bring it to the brain. You can draw the sound through these nerves, literally bringing it into your head. When you do this, you are actually shouting inside your brain.
Contextual Considerations
Authors: Shanon Benny 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
So far our discussion has been concerned primarily with the question of ‘What?’ We have examined what types of visualizations Ayahuasca produces, what the contents of Ayahuasca visualizations are, what themes they may be concerned with, what ideas are associated with them, what stages Ayahuasca visualizations may define and in what order they may appear within a session. Now we turn to the question of ‘How?’ In this chapter, I discuss factors and variables that pertain to the contingencies of the context in which Ayahuasca is consumed. In particular, I shall examine the various factors and variables that may influence what is happening to a drinker under the intoxication and those that contribute to the generation of visualizations. In subsequent chapters, I shall discuss dynamical aspects of the Ayahuasca experience and highlight several cognitive-psychological patterns pertaining to the development of visualizations and their progression in time.
Cognitive Parameters
Authors: Shanon Benny 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Having specified the various contextual factors and variables that may contribute to the generation of visions, let me attempt a definition of the major cognitive parameters that seem to be affected by Ayahuasca. In defining these parameters} in effect, I am attempting an answer to the major psychological question-what does Ayahuasca do to the human cognitive system? Theoretically, this is tantamount to the definition of modifications in the values of a series of specifications that together define what may be happening in the special state of mind that Ayahuasca induces.
Dynamics
Authors: Shanon Benny 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this chapter I continue with the ‘How?’ question and consider a number of patterns which, to my mind, are important determinants of the way Ayahuasca visualizations develop. Following my general (that is, not specific to my study of Ayahuasca) radical phenomenological approach to cognition, unlike most investigations in contemporary cognitive science my analysis does not deal with putative underlying mental representations and computational operations modelled in conjunction with them. In line with my attempt to offer a systematic and comprehensi1.re phenomenological account, I highlight patterns that are operative in the visionary experiences induced by Ayahuasca and that define configurations that are pivotal to their progression. This should be borne in mind even when I use terms such as ‘process’ and ‘mechanisms’. In all cases these should be read only in a formal-phenomenological sense, not one that reifies underlying structures and processes.
Intellectual and Cultural Creativity
Authors: Abulafia Anna Sapir 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
One of the features of the central Middle Ages was a sense people had that they were living in times that were distinct from the past. The many changes they were experiencing were often interpreted as signs that the end of the world was approaching. Different thinkers held different views about the nature of those changes. Some thought all was going from bad to worse; others were far more optimistic about the perfectibility of society in readiness for what might be the final stage of its history. The awareness that there was a difference between past and present led more and more people to think about the role of human beings in the course of history and their own particular role in the new present.
Independence
Authors: Boehmer Elleke 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In Raja Rao’s Kanthapura (1938), the women of the village respond to imperial police brutality with long-suﬀering passive resistance. In Mulk Raj Anand’s Coolie (1936), there are bold but unrealized plans for a Bombay workers’ strike against the colonial authorities. These 1930s colonial novels contrast strongly with later postcolonial examples of the genre. In Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s A Grain of Wheat (1967), for instance, a hero dies while carrying arms in the Kenyan anti-colonial struggle.
Changes in Home Production and Trends in Economic Inequality
Authors: Gottschalk Peter , Mayer susan E 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
It is widely recognized that ignoring home production understates aggregate output. However, little attention has been paid to the impact of ignoring home production in assessing trends in economic inequality, even though many studies have shown that home production is important to economic well-being, and that the amount of home production has decreased as the labour force participation of women has increased. For instance, Gronau (1980) estimated that in 1973 among white married-couple households the value of home production was equal to 70per cent of households’ money income aftertaxes. Among households with young children, the value of home production was nearly equal to households’ money income after taxes. Furthermore, Juster and Stafford (1991) show that women reduced time devoted to home production by more than 10 per cent between 1965 and 1981, a period of rapid increase in women’s labour force participation.
Domicile And Residence
Authors: Dyson Henry 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
It is not easy to distinguish between the rules of French and English law relating to domicile. In the case of the law of both countries, essentially it is the intentions of the individual concerned which are the paramount issue. The question is to what evidence must one look to support such intentions. When considering the acquisition of a domicile of choice, English law considers that residence in a country for a long period of time raises per se no presumption of the acquisition of a domicile of choice in that country.
Gifts Inter Vivos
Authors: Dyson Henry 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In two most significant respects the French donation differs from the gift made under English law. In the first place, the rules relating to the reserve contained in C.civ.arts.913 to 930 apply to ‘les libéralités, soit par actes entre vifs, soit par testament’ so that the limitations placed on the maker of gifts during his lifetime are the same as those imposed on his testamentary generosity. There will be a final reckoning at the death of the donor. There is, however, another distinction of importance in that in English law, a perfect gift is irrevocable and if made by deed vests the subject matter of the gift in the donee even if he has not given his specific assent to that event.
Business Leases
Authors: Dyson Henry 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The fundamental law on this subject is to be found in C.civ .arts.1709 to 1778. These articles cover the leasing of properties under what are known in French law as baux de droit commun (translatable as basic statutory law and not as common law). However, in certain important respects, this law is overlaid with the effect of special legislation which applies broadly to leases of premises for private occu­pation. A fair analogy would be to describe the law in England relating to leases as that enacted in Part V of the Law of Property Act 1925 but subject to the effect of various other Acts including and in particular the various Rent Acts when in force.

On Large-sample Estimation for the Mean of a Stationary Random Sequence
Authors: Adenstedt Rolf K 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
A good survey of results appears in Anderson (1971). Watson (1967, 1972) and Zyskind (1967) consider coincidence of the BLUE and LSE for coefficients in general linear regression models with a fixed sample size. Kruskal (1968) treats this problem from a coordinate-free Hilbert space viewpoint.
Long-term Memory in Stock Market Prices
Authors: Lo Andrew W 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
That economic time series can exhibit long-range dependence has been a hypothesis of many early theories of the trade and business cycles. Such theories were often motivated by the distinct but nonperiodic cyclical patterns that typified plots of economic aggregates over time, cycles of many periods, some that seem nearly as long as the entire span of the sample. In the frequency domain such time series are said to have power at low frequencies.
The Detection and Estimation of Long Memory in Stochastic Volatility
Authors: breidt F Jay , Crato. Nuno , Lima Pedro de 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
A large body of research suggests that the conditional volatility of asset prices displays long-memory or long-range persistence. Furthermore, as we demonstrate below, this type of persistence cannot be appropriately modelled by autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (ARCH), generalized ARCH (GARCH), exponential GARCH (EGARCH) or standard (short-memory) stochastic volatility .models.
Efficient Tests of Nonstationary Hypotheses
Authors: Robinson P M 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Versions of the score, likelihood-ratio, and Wald principles have been much used in testing for a unit root in a time series against autoregressive (AR) alternatives that are stationary or explosive. This is not a ‘standard’ problem: the test statistics often have nonstandard null and local asymptotic distributions. Sufficiency considerations suggest that some unit root tests developed against AR alternatives may have good power against such alternatives.
