The pageants commemorating departed citizens are often in themselves works of performance art. A grand obituary remains key to this Stygian passage. And no one writes them like New Orleanian John Pope. Collected here are not just simple, mindless recitations of schools and workplaces, marriages, and mourners bereft. These pieces in Getting Off at Elysian Fields are full-blooded life stories with accounts of great achievements, dubious dabblings, unavoidable foibles, relationships gone sour, and happenstances that turn out to be life-changing. To be sure, there are stories about Carnival monarchs, great philanthropists, and a few politicians. But because New Orleans embraces eccentric behavior, there are stories of people who colored way outside the lines. For instance, there was the doctor who used his plasma to make his flowers grow, and the philanthropist who took money she had put aside for a fur coat to underwrite the lawsuit that desegregated Tulane University. A letter carrier everyone loved turned out to have been a spy during World War II, and a fledgling lawyer changed his lifelong thoughts about race when he saw blind people going into a Christmas party through separate doors--one for white people and another for African Americans. Then there was the punctilious judge who got down on his hands and knees to edge his lawn--with scissors.Because New Orleans funerals are distinctive, the author includes accounts of four that he covered, complete with soulful singing and even some dancing. As a popular, local bumper sticker indisputably declares, 'New Orleans--We Put the Fun in Funeral'"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aObituaries$zLouisiana$zNew Orleans 606 $aFuneral rites and ceremonies$zLouisiana$zNew Orleans 607 $aNew Orleans (La.)$vBiography 607 $aNew Orleans (La.)$xSocial life and customs$vSources 615 0$aObituaries 615 0$aFuneral rites and ceremonies 676 $a976.3/35 686 $aBIO002000$aHIS036120$2bisacsh 700 $aPope$b John$c(Reporter),$01639859 702 $aHalverson$b Peter D. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807250303321 996 $aGetting off at Elysian Fields$93983122 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03041nam 2200685Ia 450 001 9910964022803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786612894657 010 $a9781282894655 010 $a128289465X 010 $a9780226067025 010 $a0226067025 024 7 $a10.7208/9780226067025 035 $a(CKB)2670000000055771 035 $a(EBL)602610 035 $a(OCoLC)676698642 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000417335 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12142711 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000417335 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10364446 035 $a(PQKB)10168959 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000777238 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12324089 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000777238 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10749032 035 $a(PQKB)10451342 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC602610 035 $a(DE-B1597)523903 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780226067025 035 $a(Perlego)1852307 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000055771 100 $a20091207d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|nu---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEvolutionary restraints $ethe contentious history of group selection /$fMark E.

Most biologists acknowledge multiple levels of selection-from the gene to the species. The debate about group selection, however, is the focus of Mark E. Borrello's Evolutionary Restraints. Tracing the history of biological attempts to determine whether selection leads to the evolution of fitter groups, Borrello takes as his focus the British naturalist V. C. Wynne-Edwards, who proposed that animals could regulate their own populations and thus 606 $aGroup selection (Evolution)$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aGroup selection (Evolution)$xHistory 676 $a576.8/2 700 $aBorrello$b Mark E$01807110 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964022803321 996 $aEvolutionary restraints$94356663 997 $aUNINA
