RALPH:

Interested in maori-polynesian culture, would like book and other leads.

I have a tattoo studio in Plymouth, England. 'Tribal' tattoos are all the rage here...

I have keen interest in cultural understanding, meaning and respect to the people, and am keen to know more so that I can continue to take the art form with respect, I do not and have not copied any design directly, all my artwork is respectful to the rightful owners and I want to raise awareness to this understanding rather than just doing some sqiggly patterns as is seemingly favoured by many I meet.

Dear Fessenden Foundation:

I am currently doing some research on Reginald Aubrey Fessenden's work.

Do you know where I can get a copy of his rare book, The Deluged Civilization of the Caucasus Isthmus, which includes various maps?

Dear Dimitri:

Something called WORLDCAT online lists the book at five libraries, viz,

  • The Deluged Civilization of the Caucasus Isthmus
     Reginald Aubrey Fessenden
    Publisher: Boston, T.J. Russell print, 1923.
  • The deluged civilization of the Caucasus isthmus : a collection of unpublished papers of the late Professor Reginald A. Fessendon.
    By: Reginald Aubrey Fessenden
    Reginald Kennelly Fessenden Publisher: New York, Priv. print, 1933.
  • The deluged civilization of the Caucasus isthmus : chapter XI
    By: Reginald Aubrey Fessenden
    Publisher: Boston : Massachusetts Bible Society, 1927.
  • The deluged civilization of the Caucasus isthmus
    By: Reginald Aubrey Fessenden
    Publisher: Boston, T.J. Russell Print, 1923

We're glad someone is interested in Fessenden. We started the Fessenden Fund in tribute to him, but were inspired by his wife's biography of him from his early, and great, inventions for the propagation of radio, and the first radio broadcasts in 1906 from Brant Rock, Mass.

We had also been inspired by Nathan Stubblefield. A station in Tampa --- WMNF --- is run by the Stubblefield Foundation.
