In this paper, I argue that Jarett Kobek’s ATTA (2011), portraying one of the terrorists of September 11th, and Nick Flynn’s The Ticking isthe Bomb (2010), focusing on the ensuing ‘Waron Terror’, are the first texts responding directly to the global effects of 9/11. Both do so by mapping and ‘producing’ urban and global space through relationality, and by recomplicating and recontem…

Taking Bellow’s Herzog and Berryman’s 77 Dream Songs as case studies, this article attempts to reconcile two historically opposed approaches to literature: those privileging the author’s intention and those privileging the reader’s response. Contemporary critics described these two books as ‘confessionalist’, but the authors disputed this vigorously. The contradictory situation pres…

Intermediate learners of English often show considerable skill in communicating orally, and using language productively to solve the tasks set. However, on closer inspection, the actual language produced is often very simple and contributes little to students’ language growth. The present article reports on a small-scale pedagogic intervention that attempts to redress this situation by raisin…

This article investigates the experience of seven refugee students with academic reading during their first year of college, with a focus on the challenges they faced completing assigned readings and the strategies they used to cope with these challenges. Although the participants graduated from American high schools, they were not considered ‘college-ready’, according to their scores in st…

We prove that the presence or absence of corners is spectrally determined in the following sense: any simply connected planar domain with piecewise smooth Lipschitz boundary and at least one corner cannot be isospectral to any connected planar domain, of any genus, that has smooth boundary. Moreover, we prove that amongst all planar domains with Lipschitz, piecewise smooth boundary and fixed ge…

Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are tightly linked through the fluxes of organisms and matter. However, aquatic and terrestrial ecologists have mainly studied these ecosystems separately, a “splendid isolation” historically fostered by disciplinary boundaries between institutes and funding schemes. Here, we synthesize the progress made in joint aquatic and terrestrial research and sugges…

Rates of glacier mass loss in the northern Pacific coastal temperate rainforest (PCTR) are among the highest on Earth, and changes in glacier volume and extent will affect the flow regime and chemistry of coastal rivers, as well as the nearshore marine ecosystem of the Gulf of Alaska. Here we synthesize physical, chemical and biological linkages that characterize the northern PCTR ecosystem, wi…
