Skin color is perhaps the most decisive and abused physical characteristic of humankind. This book presents a multidisciplinary overview of how and why human populations vary so markedly in their skin color. The biological aspects of the pigment cell and its production of melanin are reviewed. The functions of melanin in the skin, brain, eye and ear are considered, and the common clinical abnormalities of pigmentation, such as albinism, are described and illustrated. Detailed reflectance data from worldwide surveys of skin color are also presented. Next, historical and contemporary backgrounds

A.J. Tomlinson (1865-1943) ranks among the leading figures of the early Pentecostal movement, and like so many of his cohorts, he was as complex as he was colorful. Arriving in Appalachia as a home missionary determined to uplift and evangelize poor mountain whites, he stayed to become the co-founder and chief architect of the Church of God (Cleveland, TN) and the Church of God of Prophecy, which together with their minor offspring now constitute the third-largest denominational family within American Pentecostalism. R.G. Robins’s biography recreates the world in which Tomlinson operated

’Gluttony is ranked with the deadly sins; it should be honored among the cardinal virtues’, Elizabeth Robins Pennell declaims in this sparkling paean to the art of eating well. An ebullient guide to ’the Beauty, the Poetry that exists in the perfect dish, even as in the masterpiece of a Titian or a Swinburne’, "The Delights of Delicate Eating" is a choice collection, originally published in 1896, of the culinary essays Pennell wrote for London’s "Pall Mall Gazette". A native of Philadelphia and long-term resident of London, Pennell developed a discerning appreciat
