New Species and Additional Records of Protura from Michigan
Three new species, Eosentomon antrimense, E. pinusbanksianum, and Berberentulus mcqueeni, and one new record, E. australicum Womersley are added to the known Protura fauna of Michigan. Further records of E. wheeleri Silvestri, Protentomon michiganense Bernard, Proturentomon iowaense Womersley, Acerentulus confinis (Berlese) and Amerentulus amencanus (Ewing) are listed from various parts of the state
[Review of] Carmelo Mesa-lago, The Economy of Socialist Cuba: A Two-Decade Appraisal
It\u27s not unusual for partisans of opposing viewpoints about Cuba to spark each other to flaming argument, while those who prefer less heat and more light can easily find adventure enough just in following the course of the Western Hemisphere\u27s most important social experiment since the Mexican Revolution. Shouldn\u27t a book about twenty years of post-revolutionary Cuba be exciting, especially when it comes to us from Carmelo Mesa-Lago, Cuban native, an early supporter of the revolution and also an early emigre to the United States, and now, as Professor of Economics at the University of Pittsburgh, one of only a handful of distinguished students of Cuba in this country? His book is a product of a good deal of effort over a long period of time. It is detailed, precise, balanced, and informative. It is easily understood, so that non-experts can profit from reading it even though its wealth of hard-to-get data makes it an indispensable reference work for professional Latin Americanists. It is all this, but it is not exciting
De la capilaridad Variaciones teórico-prácticas en torno al cuerpo
En memoria de Michel Bernard que nos invitó incansablemente a ir «adoptando otra mirada y sustituyendo a ese modelo
[de cuerpo] sustancialista, semiótico e instrumental, el modelo reticular, intensivo y heterogéneo de “corporeidad”»

Errata for: Differential Equations for Sine-Gordon Correlation Functions at the Free Fermion Point
We present some important corrections to our work which appeared in Nucl.
Phys. B426 (1994) 534 (hep-th/9402144). Our previous results for the
correlation functions were only valid for , due to the fact that we didn't
find the most general solution to the differential equations we derived. Here
we present the solution corresponding to .Comment: 4 page
W. K. Clifford and William James on Doxastic Norms
The main aim of this paper is to explain and analyze the debate between W. K. Clifford ("The Ethics of Belief", 1877) and William James ("The Will to Believe", 1896). Given that the main assumption shared by Clifford and James in this debate is doxastic voluntarism –i.e., the claim that we can, at least in some occasions, willingly decide what to believe–, I will explain the arguments offered by Bernard Williams in his “Deciding to Believe” (1973) against doxastic voluntarism. Finally, I will explain what happens with the debate between Clifford and James once we accept Bernard Williams’s arguments and refuse to accept doxastic voluntarism
