SEAN O'CASEY's collection of colored caps (he prefers the American spelling) has come to him from friends and admirers in many different countries, and has given him a symbol for the gay, free, intrepid life and outlook which he defends in several of the papers included in this volume. He has little sympathy with those modern writers who are shut away by their own grudges and grievances from the brightness and variety of the real world and the courage and humor of its ordinary people. Anyone who knows Mr O'Casey's work will be well aware that this is not because he has never seen the darker side of things.

Sugar's rise in popularity led to the global spread of slavery, the destruction of indigenous cultures, the proliferation of colonial economies and the growth of multinationals. Sugar is a part of everyone's daily diet, lusted after and craved, at once a luxury and a necessity. It is produced in 121 countries worldwide and global production exceeds 120 million tonnes annually. We are literally drowning in sugar.

No ownership inscription. pp. xvi + 324, numerous b/w illustrations, maps and charts. This book describes the results of a longterm study of the ecology, evolutionary genetics and sociobiology of a seabird, the Arctic Skua. This species is polymorphic: the birds show one of three, genetically different forms of plumage - pale, intermediate and dark. The forms vary in frequency from predominantly pale in the north to dark in the south. The study was undertaken with the aim of explaining how natural and sexual selection act to maintain all three forms of skua in its populations.

Models derived from Darwin's theories of female choice and sexual selection in monogamous… Read More
