Norma Ireland: Index to Women of the World

Fondraz, Ludovic (2000). Les groupes parlementaires au Sénat sous la Ve République. Paris, France: Economica.
I'm attempting to improve articles related to the history of groups in the French Senate. The history of parliamentary groups, their leadership, and composition in the Third Republic is particularly scarce, so it would be appreciated if pages containing (1) numbers/compositions of groups in certain years with the renewal of the Senate and (2) histories of parliamentary groups before 1959 could be provided if needed. Right now I'm trying to track down the remainder of page 17, but I think anywhere from page 17 to 27 might be useful for now. (A copy of the index or table of contents would also be useful for related requests in the future.)
Also of interest:
Avril, Pierre (1989). Personnel politique: 1870-1988. Paris, France: Presses Universitaires de France.
Pages 89, 91, and 94 seem to be of interest, but they might not actually be (I'm primarily seeking numbers related to the Senate, but either chamber would be useful), and other pages within that region with the same specifications as above (composition, history before 1959) would be interesting.
Berstein, Gisèle (2014). Le Sénat sous la IIIe République : 1920-1940. Paris, France: CNRS.
Same, of particular interest: "Chronologie des élections sénatoriales -- Les renouvellements périodiques du Sénat -- Les élections partielles -- L'élection des sénateurs -- Les groupes politiques du Sénat -- La composition politique du Sénat -- Les groupes de droite au sénat -- La droite royaliste -- La Gauche républicaine, puis l'Action nationale républicaine et sociale (ANRS) -- Un groupe de centre-droit, l'union républicaine -- Le groupe de l'union démocratique et radicale (UDR) -- La gauche démocratique radicale et radicale-socialiste -- La place réduite de l'extrême gauche au sénat -- Le groupe socialiste -- Les communistes au Sénat -- Les non-inscrits"
Even smaller/partial excerpts would be helpful. Thanks! (Main priority is simply getting numbers of senators by political group by year, i.e. 1921, 1924, 1927, 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938, etc. so even that would be fine. There are numbers available on france-politique for those years, but not for earlier ones, and I'd like to independently verify them from another source, as none are otherwise available online.)

The first source is unlikely to be held by any universities libraries in the United States. Masters theses, unless impactful, are usually only housed at the degree-granting instutition. As for the Alimi Journal of Arabic Studies, no universities in the United States or Europe (except one in Germany) have access to that journal, so it's unlikely we'll be able to access it. ~

@

First, most or all of these are likely not public domain (most non-US works aren't public domain in the US for about 100 years, with some exceptions, but not many). Second, these are held in a special collection and Northwestern, and as they're highly rare, I doubt Northwestern will allow a researcher to photocopy them themselves. If a library photocopies something, they usually do it at low quality out of an abundance of caution for copyright reasons, so even if the library will photocopy for the researcher, it won't be suitable for an image. ~

Texas Jurisprudence, Third Edition June 2017 Update
{{
resolved}}
From: Texas Jurisprudence, Third Edition June 2017 Update (Thomson Reuters a.k.a. West Publishing) (I don't know the page number): "The language of this provision [Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 43.25(b)] criminalizes the inducement of a child's sexual conduct regardless of whether it amounts to a sexual performance, and it applies to nonpornographic, noncommercial sexual conduct by children."
WhisperToMe, I've emailed you the article. It doesn't really go into the issue you raise above, but clearly the answer is that the age of consent in Texas is 18. As stated in Baker v. State, to which you link, "the plain language of section 43.25(b) authorizes the prosecution of those who induce persons younger than eighteen years old to, among other things, have sexual intercourse." It scarcely matters that there is also a different criminal provision with a minimum age of 17.

I am working on an article, and one important source brought up is this NYT post from 1953. I cannot access it in the archives without a subscription to NYT. If anyone who can read it can contribute and transpose the content into the article, that would be really helpful. --

Collector1100, looks rare. I'd recommend contacting the authors and/or the AMNH's librarians for a copy, which would undoubtably be faster than getting someone to manually browse/scan 100 pages. czar 06:34, 20 August 2017 (UTC)reply
Could this request be closed? I originally requested this paper for a blog post I was writing about the identity of an unidentifed specimen mentioned in Predatory Dinosaurs of the World but after further research into the subject I found that all I needed was the date Achillobator's remains were discovered and it the formation it belonged too, which I felt that the Theropod Database did the job in covering these general details.
Thanks to everyone for their assistance. --

The Literature of the Fox: A Reference and Critical Guide to Anglo-Jewish Writing
{{
resolved}}
Hi. This is a bit of a long shot. I recently brought our entry on
Lazarus Aaronson to featured article status. Now, however, a book has been published which I believe contains a lot of new information on him. The book, titled The Literature of the Fox: A Reference and Critical Guide to Anglo-Jewish Writing, is written by William Baker and Jeanette Roberts Shumaker. It is available on
Amazon.
I am interested in the chapter "Pioneers: E. O. Deutsch, B. L. Farjeon, Israel Gollancz, Leonard Merrick, and Lazarus Aaronson". It would be great if anyone with access to this chapter trough their library, could share it with me. –P. S. Burton (

@
P. S. Burton: Currently,
only two libraries have it. One is the Library of Congress, and the other is a small seminary in Ohio. I expect that this will be picked up by other libraries in due time, but it was only published a week ago, so you may need to give it a bit of time. ~

Interlibrary loan unsuccessful, sadly. Give it some more time for the book to be bought by libraries and then we can try again. ~

Praprosiding Seminar Mengenang 122 Tahun Prof. Dr. R.M. Ng. Poerbatjaraka : Perpustakaan Nasional RI, 12-13 September 2006
Article:
Poerbatjaraka. Mainly, trying to ascertain the copyright status of
File:Poerbatjaraka in 2006 book cover.jpg. I think it's covered by the PD-IDGov tag as currently used in the file. But someone challenged it
in this review. If the book mentions a more specific source of the image, the status can be clearer. I'm pretty sure such a thing would be in the book's front matter.

Rob13Talk 14:22, 23 June 2017 (UTC)reply
@
BU Rob13: If the image was originally published during Poerbatjaraka's lifetime, it would be PD in the US per a similar rationale to this:
File:A._Hamid_Arief,_c._1960.jpg#Licensing. Which is why looking up the source would help clear this up.

HaEr48: I sent what was in the book, but it's not much. It launches right into what looks like an introduction in another language, with no copyright/publisher page. A bit odd by modern standards. Hopefully that contains what you're looking for, but I kind of doubt it. ~

Google.books shows the material, but not the page number. If someone could link me the page number, that'd be great (and literally the only thing I need from this particular request).

LouisAragon: The 2015 Routledge edition at Amazon shows it greyed-out on "p219", but nearby pages that are fully visible have actual page numbers greater by 2 than Amazon's page numbers. So I'm guessing, with 99% confidence, that p221 is also correct for that edition.
