"Mammals are our closest relatives in the animal kingdom; most are beautiful, and many are highly intelligent and have intricate social systems. They are found in all kinds of habitats; they may have fur, scales, or spines; they move by hopping, swimming, running, or flying. What all mammals share, apart from certain anatomical similarities, is the unique ability to nourish their young with milk from mammary glands.Many species of mammal ..."
"Americanisation--the cultural, political and economic influence of the USA--has played an important role in the shaping of modern Europe. This has been the case from the 19th century, when new and old worlds were negotiating fundamental issues such as race and empire, to the 20th century, when mass media communications intensified and reconfigured the transatlantic relationship. Developments since the Cold War, including the September 1 ..."

"From Yeah to Yo! our language bears traces of American influence. We can do little to escape the experience of America through many media: TV, pop music, youth culture, Hollywood, fast food. How do these traces and images affect us? Do we internalize them, want to be American? Do we (can we?) resist them, see America as still at cultural Cold War? Is our desire for them a symptom of European pop culture's crisis? From blackface minstrel ..."

"From its origins as what its organiser Michael Eavis called a "mini-rock festival", fittingly headlined by the diminutive Marc Bolan in 1970, Glastonbury Festival has become a musical and cultural fixture in the English summer. Famed not only for its fine (and not so fine) musical performances, but also for its surrounding "attractions" of comedy, dance, theatre, and, for those unfortunate enough to visit in "a muddy year", trench-foot, ..."
