 Bitter Feast: Amerindians and Europeans in Northeastern North America, 1600-64. by Ramsay Cook   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The relationships that developed between them were based on unequal exchange, and it was this that would shape the future course of these two civilizations' (333).
Here Brierley's translation exaggerates Delâge's already stark contrast: in French he wrote 'l'âge de la manufacture naissante,' which is more vague than 'Industrial Revolution,' a change usually dated about a century after the conclusion of Bitter Feast (1600 to 1664).
Delâge, in French, does use the term 'l'age de pierre,' which is not a helpful way to describe the successful agricultural societies that had developed in Huronia and Iroquoia by the time Europeans arrived.

Gotlieb is also represented in the anthology Ark of Ice—five writers have pieces in both collections—where her story, "The Newest Profession," examines gender politics, this time in a post-Handmaid's Tale space colony, where impoverished women hire themselves out as surrogate mothers to a company specializing in tailor-made workers.
Tesseracts 4 finishes with Candas Jane Dorsey's memorable "Death of a Dream," a police procedural set in a future where lovers can share technologically enhanced dreams together, and pathological sadists can harass their sleeping victims from the comfort of their own homes.
The cropped prose echoes the psychological disassociation of the protagonist in the face of horror and loss, as she hunts her ex-husband in a high-tech custody battle.

 Emerald City - #96
I must admit that when Candas Jane Dorsey first showed me this book called Green Music with a picture of a turtle on the cover I was expecting something eco-soppy: some sort of "Free Jack the Turtle" story.
I loved this in part because it is so refreshing to read SF that has gendarmes in moustaches and kepis rather than American cops, but it also had a point to make and some neat descriptions.

 Me and My Glass: Feature article from the Virtual Glass Museum
I paid twenty pounds for it and then set about trying to find out where and when it was made and why it was such an unusual shape.
Eventually I found out that it was made by Brierley's in England, probably recently, and the shape gives it stability on a ship at sea (it's a ship's decanter in cut crystal).
By the time I had learned this information, I had read several books on glass and was beginning to recognise "collectable" glass in the antiques and collector shops which abound in Brighton.
