Dear Madam or Sir,

I am interested in communicating with anyone interested in or familiar with
my dissertation topic: Tocqueville and Baudrillard in America. I am focusing
on Baudrillard's references to Native Americans in light of Tocqueville's
more systematic study in his chapter "the present state and probable future"
of the First Americans.

I will drive to Colorado in a week or two in search of my own "astral" America
and to visit relatives. Please communicate with me in the next week or in
August on my return.

With regards, Tamara

Subject: Subway poems

I would like to have the following posted on Humanist. Thank you.

I am beginning a project on the depiction of the New York City
subway in poetry. I already have a large number of poems about the
subway by the poets Paul Blackburn, Jim Carroll, Edwin Denby,
Ferlinghetti, Langston Hughes, Audre Lorde, Frank O'Hara, Charles
Reznikoff, and Allen Tate's "The Subway." I would appreciate it if
the members of Humanist would inform me if they know of any poets (or
individual poems) I have missed, particularly by lesser-known poets or
poems written before 1953.
It is possible that this study will be expanded, so information on
poems about Chicago's El or the London Underground would also be appreciated.
Replies can be sent either to Humanist or directly to me.
Thank you,
Eric Petersen

Subject: Need price of 1991 German book


Can anyone help me find the price of a book published in Germany?
I need the information for a review that I am preparing. I assume
that out there, somewhere, there is the German equivalent of BOOKS
IN PRINT with this information.

The book is:
Michael Epkenhans. DIE WILHELMINISCHE FLOTTENR STUNG
1908-1914; WELTMACHTSTREBEN, INDUSTRIELLER FORTSCHRITT,
SOZIALE INTEGRATION. M nchen: R. Oldenbourg Verlag, 1991.
xi + 488 pp., bibliography, tables, figures, index.
cloth; ISBN 3-486-55880-3.

If you know, or can find out, the price of this book, I would be
most grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Can someone please point me to a Venician - English
