====== Research and Education ====

2.  2002 Census of Governments [.pdf]
http://www.census.gov/prod/2003pubs/gc021x1.pdf

Administered by the United Census Bureau at five-year intervals since 1957,
the Census of Governments is one of the most important sources of
information about the varied types of governmental units across the entire
country. Released in December 2002, this 105-page document contains the
official counts of the number of state and local governments, along with
tabulations of governments by state, type of government, size, and county
location. Persons hoping to utilize data contained within the report will
want to read the introduction to the report first, as it offers information
about the nature of the tables and where to look for specific details, such
as where to find data on public school systems, special district
governments, and general-purpose governments. Those persons looking to
document the change in the number of governmental units over the past five
decades will want to look at the tables detailing the change in local
governments by state from 1952 to 2002. Overall, this is an important
resource for those individuals in the field of public policy or government.
[KMG]


3.  War with Iraq: Costs, Consequences, and Alternatives [.pdf]
http://www.amacad.org/publications/monographs/War_with_Iraq.pdf

Released as part of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Committee on
International Security Studies Occasional Papers series, this 93-page report
from December 2002 examines the political, military, and economic
consequences of war with Iraq. The report is divided into three self-
contained chapters, with each one exploring a different facet that
illustrates the potential costs of war for the United States. In the first
chapter, Carl Kaysen, John D. Steinbruner, and Martin B. Malin engage in an
extended appraisal of the national security strategy behind the move toward
a preventive war against Iraq. The second chapter finds Steven E. Miller
considering a number of potentially detrimental military and strategic
outcomes of war for the United States. The third chapter, John Nordhaus
offers his economic cost estimations of war with Iraq by looking at
scenarios that are both favorable and unfavorable to the United States. All
in all, this paper is a thought-provoking and scholarly examination of a
pressing topic that often receives only superficial consideration by the
mainstream media. [KMG]


4.  Scottish Archive Network
http://www.scan.org.uk/

Supported by funds from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Genealogical Society
of Utah, and the National Archives of Scotland, the Scottish Archive Network
has three primary aims. The first is to convert fifty of the primary
Scottish archive catalogues into electronic format, the second is to make
the wills and testaments of Scots from 1500 to 1875 available online, and
the third is to "provide a host of other valuable online resources for
anyone interested in the written history of Scotland." While the fifty
primary Scottish catalogues are not all online yet, the Network Web site
offers a good sample of the diverse printed historical records of the
Scottish people. Visitors will want to make sure and look at some
representative examples of Scottish wills from the past four hundred years,
and then take a look at the Research Tools area, which contains helpful
hints for deciphering Scottish handwriting and a glossary of terms used in
the wills. Visitors hoping to trace their Scottish heritage will want to
take a look at the Family History area, which will help them utilized the
excellent genealogical resources provided by the Network. [KMG]


5.  Spain, The United States, and The American Frontier: Historias Paralelas
http://international.loc.gov/intldl/eshtml/eshome.html

Partnering with The National Library of Spain, The Biblioteca Columbina y
Capitular of Seville, the Library of Congress has developed this fine
collection of primary and secondary historical documents that explore the
complex and multifaceted history of Spanish expansion into North America
from Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and across most of what is now the
modern-day American Southwest all the way north to Alaska. The site contains
digital versions of numerous texts, maps, manuscripts, and first-hand
accounts composed by different individuals. Some of the highlights include
"La Florida del Inca," which is an account of the Hernando de Soto
expedition through Florida and the southeastern part of North America, along
with the "Notes of a Military Reconnoissance from Fort Leavenworth to San
Diego," published in 1848 as a special report to the United States Congress.
Appropriately enough, many of the documents are available in both English
and Spanish, and are searchable by page number. [KMG]


6.  ArabNet
http://www.arab.net/

Designed to serve as a clearinghouse of information about the Arab world,
ArabNet is a valuable source of current news coverage, along with providing
country profiles of almost every nation in the Middle East. The homepage
features a Latest News section that provides hyperlinks to English-language
articles offering coverage from many different media sources on topical
stories within the Middle East. The country profiles will be helpful to
persons seeking a brief overview of each nation, as they contain basic
material on their history, geography, government, culture, government, and
transportation. The site also contains brief essays on topic as diverse as
The A-Z of Camels and The ABCs of Arabic Cuisine. The site also contains a
search engine and the ability to sign up for email updates by entering one's
email address. [KMG]


7.  Institute for the Study of Social Change [.pdf]
http://www.ucd.ie/~issc/

Founded in 1999 and located on the campus of the University College Dublin
in Ireland, the Institute for the Study of Social Change conducts a wide
range of research projects, along with housing the Irish Social Science Data
Archive. Visitors seeking to learn more about the activities of the
Institute will want to look at the sections that give detailed descriptions
of their existing research projects (such as those on policy evaluation and
political behavior). For those persons interested in learning more about
their ongoing seminars, conferences, and policy briefings, a section titled
Activities contains the particulars of these sessions, including
registration information. The publications area of the site contains many
working papers that deal with the topics of globalization, education, and
economics. The site is effectively rounded out with information detailing
funding and postdoctoral opportunities offered by the Institute that
individuals and research teams may wish to examine closely. [KMG]


8.  Bug Bytes [.pdf, .wav]
http://cmave.usda.ufl.edu/~rmankin/soundlibrary.html

Containing a catalog of recorded insect noises, this Web site is presented
by Richard Mankin of the Center for Medical, Agricultural, and Veterinary
Entomology, a division of the US Department of Agriculture's Agricultural
Research Service. Organized by species and subject, this unusual library
contains approximately 40 audio clips of such subtle insect noises as the
wing vibrations of a butterfly and the sound of a termite feeding. Some
background noise is unavoidable with recordings such as these, but the Web
site includes a sample file for training the ear to distinguish insect
noises from extraneous sounds. Bug Bytes is engaging enough to warrant a
visit from both researchers and general visitors alike. This site is also
reviewed in the February 7, 2003 _NSDL Life Sciences Report_. [RS]


9.  Tales from the Underground
http://www.msichicago.org/labs/tales/index.html

Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry Web site offers a very interesting
interactive activity called Tales from the Underground. Kids get to explore
an interactive map of Chicago neighborhoods to view the results of soil
samples that were taken to determine the amounts of various pollutants they
contain. Students are then able to conduct their own experiments (with help
from their teacher or parent) to learn about the health of soils where they
live. The site contains a wealth of additional activities, downloads, and
lessons that culminate in a unique learning experience that kids will enjoy.
This site is also reviewed in the February 7, 2003 _NSDL Physical Science
Report_. [JAB]



====== General Interest ====

10. The Devil's Dictionary
http://www.thedevilsdictionary.com/

First published in complete form in 1906, _The Devil's Dictionary_ was
written by Ambrose Bierce, a prominent man of letters and general
curmudgeon, and an individual who is perhaps best remembered for both his
short story, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," and _The Devil's
Dictionary_. This complete version of _The Devil's Dictionary_ was placed
online by Mike Leung, and contains the famous entries that reflect Ambrose
Bierce's command of the written word. One sample entry reads as follows:
"Absurdity, n. A statement or belief manifestly inconsistent with one's own
opinion." Another particularly amusing entry is Mr. Bierce's definition of
"senate," which read as follows: "A body of elderly gentlemen charged with
high duties and misdemeanors." For those unfamiliar with the acerbic quality
of Mr. Bierce's not so subtle wit, this site will serve as a nice
introduction to his well-honed phrase-turning. [KMG]


11. Picturing Business in America
http://www.npg.si.edu/exh/journal/index.htm

>From the National Portrait Gallery, this exhibition features hedcuts, small
black and white portraits of business leaders that have appeared in the
_Wall Street Journal_ since 1979. The paper donated a collection of hedcuts
to the Portrait Gallery in 2001. Although technically drawings, hedcuts are
actually based on photographs; the _Journal_ has four full-time and two
part-time artists who create them. At first glance, the exhibition does not
appear to show more than 10 or 15 examples. However, it is well worth
following the advice given to "Click on individual hedcuts for additional
information" to see side-by-side hedcuts of Martha Stewart's "look" in 1989
and 2000; Steve Jobs at 21 and 41; and bearded and clean-shaven Paul Allen,
as well as the chance to read the biographies of the individuals portrayed.
The Getting Inside section of the exhibition provides a step-by-step
explanation of how the hedcuts are made, the pitfalls of interpreting
photographs, and what the originals look like in comparison to the half-
column size versions that appear in the printed newspaper. [DS]


12. All Info-About Poetry
http://poetry.allinfo-about.com/

While there are many sites offering a diverse selection of poems and verse
from the best-known names from previous historical eras, few Web sites offer
more contemporary poems. Paula Bardell, a poet and fiction writer from
Britain, has established this Web site as a means to disseminate the works
(and discussions) of a varied group of contemporary poets from around the
world. The homepage of the site contains two of its main features, In the
Spotlight and the weekly newsletter written by Ms. Bardell. In the Spotlight
contains short essays about the art of writing poetry, information about new
poetry anthologies, and a selection of poems submitted to the site. From the
main page, visitors can also read brief biographical sketches of numerous
20th century poets, such as Leopold Senghor, who was also the first
president of Senegal. Finally, the site contains a built-in search engine
and an A-Z index detailing the subjects covered by the site. [KMG]


13. The House of the Seven Gables
http://www.7gables.org/

In one of his most famous novels, Nathaniel Hawthorne begins by describing
the power of what is perhaps the most storied home in 19th century
literature: "The aspect of the venerable mansion has always affected me like
a human countenance, bearing the traces not merely of outward storm and
sunshine, but expressive also, of the long lapse of mortal life, and
accompanying vicissitudes that have passed within." Such is one man's
impression of the House of the Seven Gables, the only surviving 17th century
wooden mansion in New England. Visitors to the site will find a host of
invaluable material about the history and legacy of the House, along with
information about the house where Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in 1804,
which is located just several blocks away. The site contains basic
information about visiting the two homes, such as visiting hours, their
location, and updates about upcoming and ongoing exhibits. Finally, the site
also contains information about the Pioneer Village, which offers a
recreation of a 17th century fishing village. [KMG]


14. Leonardo da Vinci: Master Draftsman
http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Leonardo_Master_Draftsman/draftsman_splash.htm

Designed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art to complement their exhibit
featuring the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci, this site will be an excellent
resource for educators and students hoping to view the drawings of one of
the world's most acclaimed artists. As curator Carmen C. Bambach notes in
her helpful and informative essay that serves as a prelude to the rest of
the site, da Vinci "stands as a supreme icon in Western consciousness-the
every embodiment of the universal Renaissance genius." Without a doubt, the
highlights of the site are da Vinci's drawings. All of the drawings can be
examined in close detail using a built-in zoom feature, effectively allowing
users to examine da Vinci's incredible ability to capture the motion of
charging horses and the expressive abilities of the human face. Additional
highlights of the site include audio clips featuring commentary on different
drawings in the collection, an authoritative bibliography of scholarly
references, and an essay exploring the left-handedness of da Vinci. [KMG]


15. Rave Reviews: Bestselling Fiction in America
http://www.lib.virginia.edu/speccol/exhibits/rave_reviews/

This online exhibit, sponsored by the University of Virginia Library and
drawing on the collection of Lillian Gary Taylor, celebrates "the fiction
Americans actually read-fiction we admire, fiction we love, fiction we
pretend to ignore." The exhibit begins with a brief discussion of the
collection compiled by Ms. Taylor, whose library included 1800 first
editions of popular American novels ranging from _The Scarlet Letter_ to _A
Farewell to Arms_. Different sections of the exhibit deal chronologically
with the emergence of the notion of a "bestseller," and include many digital
images of first-edition works and pages from important novels ranging from
1750 to 1950. One of the most engaging sections is Bestsellers: Beyond the
Book, which examines the relationship between motion picture adaptations of
popular novels such as _Ben-Hur_ and _Peyton Place_. In general, the site
offers a good introduction to the history of the American popular novel and
its persistent appeal to a broad audience of readers. [KMG]


16. Drive-Ins.com
http://www.drive-ins.com/

Given the ubiquity of automobiles across the United States, it is not
surprising to learn that the first drive-in movie theater was opened in
Camden, New Jersey in 1933 by Richard Hollingshead. Drive-Ins.com is a
fitting tribute to a feature of the American landscape that fell on
increasingly hard times beginning in the late 1960s but, in recent years,
has witnessed a miniature renaissance. Created and maintained by the
brother-sister team of Jennifer and Kipp Sherer, the site contains several
thousands pieces of information about the history and evolution of the
American drive-in movie theater. The first valuable feature of the site is
the ability to search for drive-ins across the country by zip code,
keywords, status (open or closed), and by geographical locale. Each entry
contains detailed material about each drive-in, such as its automobile
capacity, current status, address, and in many cases multiple photographs. A
particularly entertaining section is the Drive-In Museum, which offers a
short online exhibit on the life of Richard Hollingshead, along with a
timeline of notable events in drive-in history. In all, the site is quite
entertaining, and will be a welcome addition to those users interested in
visiting a drive-in or with an affinity for cultural history. [KMG]

17. InnerX Browser
http://www.innerx.net/

This novel browser may be of interest to some users, as it includes several
helpful features not integrated into other existing browsers. InnerX

For those not already acquainted with Fresh Download, this latest version of
the well-known download manager will be worth checking out. Some of the
primary features of the program include the ability to pause and resume
broken downloads; the ability to use four simultaneous connections; and
integration into Web browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Netscape
Communicator. Additionally, users can schedule their downloads for low

Origami Jumping Frog
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/origami/frog/

The much-storied annual Calaveras County Frog-Jumping Contest, inspired by
Mark Twain's humorous short story, received good news yesterday when a
careful review of the California Fish and Game Code revealed that "frogs to
be used in frog-jumping contests" are exempted from general wildlife rules.
The problem facing the contest was that most of the frogs used in the
contest today are in fact eastern bullfrogs, as opposed to the native red-
legged frog immortalized in Twain's story. The additional quandary was posed
by the fact that it is illegal in the state of California to return a
nonnative species (such as the eastern bullfrog) to the wild, and violators
can face a $5,000 fine and up to a year in prison. Local businesspeople were
also concerned because the frog-jumping jubilee attracts some 40,000
tourists to the area east on San Francisco, and the loss of revenue would be
potentially quite severe. After this recent discovery, it appears that the
contest will go on as planned this May.

The first link leads to a story from the _Los Angeles Times_ about the
recent discovery that will allow the frog-jumping contest to proceed as
planned this May. The second link will take visitors to the complete text of
Mark Twain's story about the "celebrated jumping frog." The third link leads
to Mark Twain's own personal recollection about the genesis and broad
history of the now-famous story. The fourth link takes visitors to a news
article from last year detailing protests by animal-rights groups about the
way the frogs are treated at the contest. The fifth link leads to the
official homepage of the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee,
where visitors will find information about visiting the fair and about how
to register for the contest. The final link takes visitors to a site where
they can learn how to make a jumping frog with origami, in lieu of the real
thing. [KMG]
