As the driver of global atmospheric and ocean circulation, the tropics play a central role in understanding past and future climate change. Both global climate simulations and worldwide ocean temperature reconstructions indicate that the cooling in the tropics during the last cold period, which began about 115,000 years ago, was much weaker than in the temperate zone and the polar regions. The extent to which this general statement also applies to the tropical high mountains of Eastern Africa and elsewhere is, however, doubted on the basis of palaeoclimatic, geological and ecological studies at high elevations.
Alan Roberts looks at his life as a Skipton PoW. His credentials as an archaeologist were already impressive: an accomplished excavation of a Stone Age village in central Germany, a doctorate where he had studied the hair styles in ancient Greece, and a travel scholarship to the Mediterranean to conduct his own research. Now a prisoner he resented ‘his’ important work being disturbed by meaningless roll calls which took up several hours of his time each week. His talent was recognised within the camp: ‘That fascinating head next door is quite simply a piece of genius that has been captured in a human form. It is a future professor of archaeology. The hand that you see so diligently at work, is currently writing exceedingly learned articles about those Stone and Bronze Ages that seem so fantastic to us today.’

Feb. 10, 2021 This Day in Jewish History , about Boris Pasternak, who won Nobel for Dr. Zhivago and irked Moscow, was originally published Feb. 10, 2016
February 10, 1890, is the birthdate of Boris Pasternak, the Russian poet, novelist and translator who won the Nobel Prize – and infuriated the Soviet regime – for his 1957 novel “Dr. Zhivago.” The book, although not concerned with Jewish themes in a major way, angered many Jews, including Israel’s prime minister, who described it as “one of the most despicable books about Jews ever written by a man of Jewish origin.”
Boris Leonidovich Pasternak was born in Moscow. His father, Leonid Pasternak, who claimed descent from the 15th-century Portuguese-Jewish banker and philosopher Isaac Abarbanel, was a successful painter and art professor. Boris’ mother, the former Rosa Kaufman, the daughter of an Odessa industrialist, was herself a concert pianist.
