Synopsis

Lazar Konstantinovich Popoff (1851-1917) was a Russian writer, journalist and interpreter of science. He played an important role in the intellectual and social life of Russia, in particular, of St. Petersburg, and was the first to have clearly articulated and demonstrated the idea of ​​the magical nature of Paleolithic drawings, having applied ethnographic data to archaeological materials.
Popoff was born on February 22, 1851 in the city of Mariupol in the family of a trader, Konstantin Kiriakovich Popoff (apparently, of Greek origin).
He wrote a number of books, as well as hundreds of articles, notes and reviews in the journals and newspapers. His name and pen name (El’pe) are mentioned in the letters and  diaries  of  Lev Nikolàevič Tolstoj, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, Gleb Ivanovich Uspensky and Vasily Vasilievich Rozanov. In his works, Popov touched upon different subjects related to botany, zoology, anthropology, physics, chemistry, healthy lifestyle, and gardening. Moreover, he edited numerous translations, such as The Life of Animals by Alfred Brehm, and was a full member of the Russian Physico-chemical Society and the Imperial Society of Devotees of Natural Science, Anthropology and Ethnography.
Today we offer our readers two fundamental articles by Popoff, The Origin of Art and The Origin of Painting, published in 1891 and 1894 in the magazine Popular Science Monthly.

    Imagine sitting with an esteemed writer on his or her front porch somewhere in the world and swapping life stories. Dr. Wayne Flynt got the opportunity to do just this with Nelle Harper Lee. In a friendship that blossomed over a dozen years starting when Lee relocated back to Alabama after having had a stroke, Flynt and his wife Dartie became regular visitors at the assisted living facility that was Lee's new home. And there the conversation began, with an invitation to "Come in, sit down, and stay a while." 
     
     
     
    The stories exchanged ranged widely over the topics of Alabama history, Alabama folklore, family genealogy, and American literature, of course. Wayne and his wife were often joined by Alice Lee, the oldest Lee sister, a living encyclopedia on the subject of family genealogy, and middle sister Louise Lee Conner. 
     
     
     
    The hours spent visiting, in intimate closeness, are still cherished by Wayne Flynt. They yielded revelations large and small, which have been shaped into Afternoons with Harper Lee. Part memoir, part biography, this book offers a unique window into the life and mind and preoccupations of one of America's best-loved writers. Flynt and Harper Lee and her sisters learned a great deal from each other, and though this is not a history book, their shared interest in Alabama and its history made this extraordinary work possible.

    For the past twelve years, the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report has ranked Iceland number one on its list of countries closing the gap in equality between men and women. What is it about Iceland that makes many women's experience there so positive? Why has their society made such meaningful progress in this ongoing battle, from electing the world's first female president to passing legislation specifically designed to help even the playing field at work and at home? And how can we learn from what Icelanders have already discovered about women's powerful place in society and how increased fairness benefits everyone? 
     
     
     
    Eliza Reid, the First Lady of Iceland, examines her adopted homeland's attitude toward women—the deep-seated cultural sense of fairness, the influence of current and historical role models, and, crucially, the areas where Iceland still has room for improvement. Reid's own experience as an immigrant from small-town Canada who never expected to become a first lady is expertly interwoven with interviews with dozens of sprakkar ("extraordinary women") to form the backbone of an illuminating discussion of what it means to move through the world as a woman, and how the rules of society play more of a role in who we view as "equal" than we may understand.
