Culture Organization Society - HOME Culture Organization Society The Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin by Kenneth S. Norris, This absorbing book is the first comprehensive scientific natural history of a dolphin species ever written. From their research camp at Kealake'akua Bay in Hawaii, the authors followed a population of wild spinner dolphins for more than twenty years.

Beginning with a description of the spinner ... school movement are all examined to give the fullest picture yet published of dolphin biological life. One of the most striking features of the species is the length of the period of juvenility and instruction of the young. The authors argue that dolphins may legitimately be called "cultural", and they turn in their conclusion to a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of this marine cultural system with its behavioral flexibility and high levels of cooperation. In a challenging new interpretation of how cultural organisms may evolve, they propose that spinner dolphin society be viewed as ...

Culture Genealogy Society - HOME Culture Genealogy Society Aesthetics and Marxism: Chinese Aesthetic Marxists and Their Western Contemporaries by Liu Kang, Although Chinese Marxism -- primarily represented by Maoism -- is generally seen by Western intellectuals as monolithic, Liu Kang argues that its practices and projects are as diverse as those in Western Marxism, particularly in the area of aesthetics.

In this respect, such Marxists are similar to their Western counterparts, although ...
