Laboratories of Virtue

Punishment, Revolution, and Authority in Philadelphia, 1760-1835

Michael Meranze uses Philadelphia as a case study to analyze the relationship between penal reform and liberalism in early America. In Laboratories of Virtue, he interprets the evolving system of criminal punishment as a microcosm of social tensions that characterized the early American republic. Engaging recent work on the history of punishment in England and continental Europe, Meranze traces criminal punishment from the late colonial system of publicly inflicted corporal penalties to the establishment of penitentiaries in the Jacksonian period. Throughout, he reveals a world of class difference and contested values in which those who did not fit the emerging bourgeois ethos were disciplined and eventually segregated. By focusing attention on the system of public penal labor that developed in the 1780s, Meranze effectively links penal reform to the development of republican principles in the Revolutionary era. His study, richly informed by Foucaultian and Freudian theory, departs from recent scholarship that treats penal reform as a nostalgic effort to reestablish social stability. Instead, Meranze interprets the reform of punishment as a forward-looking project. He argues that the new disciplinary practices arose from the reformers' struggle to contain or eliminate contradictions to their vision of an enlightened, liberal republic.

Chilkoot

An Adventure in Ecotourism

A trail book unlike any other, Chilkoot: An Adventure in Ecotourism is a richly woven insight into the Chilkoot Trail and the region straddling the American-Canadian border in the Alaska and British Columbia. The authors present the trail in three interrelated parts. They begin by describing the trail as a classic example of modern ecotourism with reference to management practices and user expectations, responses, and satisfaction. Then they show the amazing history of the trail. They conclude with an illustrated presentation of their own experiences.The Chilkoot has a long and varied history: it was an important trade route of the coastal Tlingit people; it attracted worldwide notoriety during the frantic Klondike Gold Rush days; and now it has an international reputation among recreational hikers.Today, Chilkoot is an icon. It is thirty-three miles (53 km) of dense forest, rugged mountain, golden sand dune, rushing river, and sylvan lake settings stretching from Alaskan salt tidewater to freshwater Lake Bennett at the headwaters of the Yukon River in British Columbia. Rich in natural and cultural history and protected entirely as parkland, the Chilkoot forms a major portion of the extensive Klondike Gold Rush International Historical Park.

This, too, is the intent of the Chilkoot Trail and other units of the Klondike Gold
Rush National Historical Park — White Pass, Skagvvay Historic District, and
Pioneer Square, Seattle. Norris (1996) describes how the idea of Chilkoot Trail

Burn Rate

How I Survived the Gold Rush Years on the Internet

Michael Wolff's wickedly funny chronicle of his rags-to-riches-to-rags adventure as a fledgling Internet entrepreneur exposes an industry powered by hype, celebrity, and billions of investment dollars -- and notably devoid of profit-making enterprises. As he describes his efforts to control his company's burn rate -- the amount of money the company consumes in excess of its income -- Wolff offers a no-holds-barred portrait of unaccountable successes and major disasters, including the story behind Wired magazine and its fanatical founder, Louis Rossetto; the rise of America Online, perhaps the most dysfunctional successful company in history, and the humiliating inability of people such as Bill Gates to untangle the intricacies of the Web.

Datation des minéralisations d'émeraude du Brésil par les méthodes K-Ar et 40 Ar/39 Ar

mise en évidence d'âges Transamazonien (2 Ga) et Brésilien (650-500 Ma), influence de cristallochimie de la phlogopite sur la rétention de l'argon

Les gisements d'émeraude du Brésil se localisent toujours dans des formations basiques et ultrabasiques métasomatisées par des fluides hydrothermaux et transformées en phlogopitites. Deux types de gisements sont définis: l'un associe à des pegmatites, et l'autre à des zones de cisaillement. Dans ces deux types, la précipitation de l'émeraude est contemporaine de celle de la phlogopite. La datation de cette dernière, par les méthodes K-Ar et 40 Ar/39 Ar, a permis de déterminer l'âge des gisements. Celui du type pegmatite varie entre 2.0 et 1.9 Ga et entre 650 et 500 Ma. Le gisement de Santa Terezinha, associé à une zone de cisaillement ou les pegmatites sont absentes, donne un âge de formation à 520 Ma. Les phlogopites de Santa Terezinha, fortement imbriquées avec du talc, présentent des spectres d'âge 40 Ar/39 Ar très perturbés. Cette association a un effet sur la géochronologie argon, et nous mettons en évidence l'existence inattendue d'40 Ar dans le talc. Cet argon, considéré comme hérité, serait responsable des irrégularités observées dans les spectres d'âge des phlogopites. C’est probablement le dégazage non synchrone de l'argon de la phlogopite et du talc qui provoque la forme en bosse obtenue pour les spectres d'âge des phlogopites impures. Nous montrons que l'aptitude des micas à retenir l'argon est liée à leurs caractéristiques cristallochimiques. En effet il existe une corrélation entre les divergences d'âge et les substitutions chimiques, impliquant les sites tétraédrique, octaédrique et interfoliaire. De même, pour les phlogopites de Carnaiba, nous confirmons la corrélation nette entre la libération de l'argon et celle de l'eau de constitution. Cette étude montre, en outre, que la décroissance des âges, celle des températures de libération de l'eau structurale et des températures de libération de l'argon et celle des énergies d'activation pour la diffusion de l'argon, sont corrélées avec l'augmentation de la teneur en fer des micas
