Early years

<mask> was born as <mask> Russell on 11 September 1975 and grew up in Sydney as the fourth of six children. As a child she had piano lessons learning classical music and later "used to love singing in little jazz ensembles, '20s and '30s style songs". One of her inspirations was listening to Marilyn Monroe's show tunes. In the early 1990s, she was the vocalist and founder of power pop group Lustre 4 alongside Lara Meyerratken on guitar. Other songwriters for Lustre 4 included Nicholas Devenish and Richard King. The band's six-track extended play, Double Happiness had "significant airplay" on national radio station, Triple J, where the group's music displayed "[s]himmering guitars and songs of young love". While still a member of Lustre 4, <mask> briefly replaced Liz Payne on guitar in indie rock band, Spdfgh, in mid-1995.She had co-written the track, "You Made Me" with Spdfgh's Tania Bowers (aka Via Tania) for their album, Leave Me Like This (1995). <mask> continued her work with Lustre 4 and was replaced in Spdfgh by Christina Hannaford. In 1996, for her 21st birthday she shared a party with fellow indie singer, Ben Lee (ex-Noise Addict), who turned 18 on the same day (11 September): each had a special cake made by Meyerratken with icing as a painting of each individual. In 1997, after Lustre 4 disbanded, <mask> moved to Melbourne where she attended an art school and worked as a photographer and waitress. In early 1999 she worked with Bowers again to compose a track for the latter's debut solo EP, Sunday. <mask> provided backing vocals on "Electricity" for Melbourne-based electronic band, The Avalanches' 1999 single – it was later on their debut album, Since I Left You (2000). New Buffalo years

By 2000, <mask> had re-invented her musical style to create New Buffalo: she adopted a sound that replaced guitars with keyboards over smooth paced bass and soothing beats.In February 2000 <mask>'s debut release as New Buffalo was the track "16 Beats", which was available as an MP3 download via Ben Lee's web site. Of her musical transition, <mask> said "I used to be in an all-girl punk band called Lustre 4. We were very, very loud... There were four of us [...] touring and having fun [...] Now I make dreamy pop songs [...] I like cutting up orchestral strings, but not plain-jane style". In 2001, <mask> (as <mask>) won a Professional Development Award for 'Pop/Dance Music' from the Australasian Performing Right Association. That year she signed with Modular Recordings and released her debut five-track EP, About Last Night, featuring "16 Beats". The EP was produced by her fiance, <mask> of The Avalanches.MusicOMH's Michael Hubbard noted "[it] is a slow-paced affair of 1950s sci-fi movie effects, cut-back rhythm section ... what we end up with is something that's not quite a soundtrack, not quite a pop tune and really not quite anything". The EP was also released in the United Kingdom through Heavenly Recordings, which saw New Buffalo invited to tour throughout the UK supporting Ed Harcourt in 2001. In 2002, Seltmann recorded tracks in Los Angeles with Jake Davies, but after Heavenly withdrew their financial support, she decided to set up her own home studio, The Lonely Studio, in Melbourne. In 2003, <mask> had married <mask> and they lived in suburban Yarraville. There she wrote and arranged her debut album, The Last Beautiful Day, which was released in Australia on 20 September 2004 by Dot Dash. The album features special guest appearances by Beth Orton on backing vocals and Jim White of Dirty Three on drums. However, Seltmann performed the vast majority of instrumentation on her own as well as engineering, mixing, programming and producing the work.According to The Ages reviewer, Anthony Carew, "The Last Beautiful Day is the brilliant result. Largely composed of analogue organs, scratchy samples, and layers of Seltmann's thin-yet-tender voice, it's a profound piece of personal expression, a collection of lyrical pop-songs that're a product of a single individual". On 23 August 2005 it was issued by Arts & Crafts in North America. When touring in support of the album, Seltmann sometimes performed solo and sometimes New Buffalo included other musicians, John Lee, Simon Parker and Brendan Webb. In July 2005 a self-titled EP was released featuring two new songs – a collaboration with composer Rae Howell, and a duet with Sweden's Jens Lekman – plus re-mixes and re-worked versions of songs from the debut album. <mask> provided a cover version of Crowded House's "Four Seasons in One Day" for a tribute album, She Will Have Her Way (2005) – it was used in the 2011 promo of the Australian soap Neighbours. In late 2005 Seltmann toured Canada supporting her label mates, Feist and Broken Social Scene.On 24 March 2007, <mask> released her second LP, Somewhere, Anywhere in Australia, and to North American audiences on 28 August 2007. Mike Mineo of Obscure Sound felt "<mask>’s style is very consistent through each and every song. Laden with a light touch of keys, her weightless vocals provide as scenery to the accompanying piano and acoustic instruments surrounding her". Also in August, <mask> was invited by Deborah Conway to take part in the Broad Festival project, which toured major Australian cities including performing at the Sydney Opera House. With <mask> and Conway were Anne McCue, Jade Macrae and Abbe May – they performed their own and each other's songs. In the same year, she toured as a support act for Air in Australia. She also toured in support of Paul Kelly on his Stolen Apples Tour of Australia.One of the last performances, on 20 September in Toowoomba, Queensland, was filmed and released on DVD as Live Apples: Stolen Apples Performed Live in its Entirety Plus 16 More Songs, in April 2008. The release includes <mask> and Kelly performing a duet of a cover version of The Triffids' 1984 song, "Raining Pleasure". <mask> co-wrote the song "1234" (originally called "Sally's Song") with Feist, which was released on Feist's third solo album The Reminder (April 2007). The song was featured in a November 2007 iPod Nano commercial and transformed Feist's career. By proxy, <mask>'s New Buffalo project became better known as she was mentioned in a number of publications, including Entertainment Weekly, which named her as an artist to watch in September 2007. Heart That's Pounding

In December 2009, <mask> announced the details of her third studio album, Heart That's Pounding, which was released by Arts & Crafts on 6 April 2010. The album was co-produced by Seltmann with film composer François Tétaz.It was the first album to be released under the Seltmann name, "I just felt like I was ready to go by my real name and not hide behind New Buffalo". The lead single from the album, "Harmony to My Heartbeat", was released through iTunes on 24 November 2009, and the accompanying music video directed by Antuong Nguyen of Moop Jaw followed on 15 December. In December 2009, the <mask>s relocated to Sydney to reside. In March 2010, Seltmann toured the US and Canada. On 14 August, Seltmann was guest programmer on rage with a playlist of over 50 songs. Also that month she formed an indie rock trio, Seeker Lover Keeper, with fellow Australians Sarah Blasko and Holly Throsby. They issued a self-titled album in June 2011, which peaked at number three on the ARIA Albums Chart.In November, <mask>, Blasko and Throsby each provided a cover version of songs by Neil Finn and Tim Finn on the They Will Have Their Way Tour (see They Will Have Their Way) with various artists including Clare Bowditch, Lior, Paul Dempsey and Alexander Gow (of Oh Mercy) also appearing. <mask> accompanied herself on a piano for her rendition of "Four Seasons in One Day", later Seeker Lover Keeper performed "Sinner" from Neil's 1998 album Try Whistling This. In March 2012, Seltmann supported an Australian tour by Bon Iver. Hey Daydreamer to The Letdown

Seltmann issued her fourth album (second under her own name), Hey Daydreamer, via Arts & Crafts in March 2013. The <mask>s had relocated to Los Angeles, after it was mostly written locally, she explained, "I wrote most of the songs for Hey Daydreamer in Sydney, but writing in LA feels GOOD! There's a lot of creative energy in the air in that city, which is one of the reasons why I live there now! A lot of positive energy, and a lot of writers and interesting people with ideas and courage."The album was recorded and co-produced with Darren. AllMusic's James Christopher Monger observed, "[she] is first and foremost a confessional singer/songwriter, though one with a flair for pop artistry, and less fussy tracks like the lovely and heartfelt 'The Small Hotel,' the bouncy, bucolic 'Holly Drive,' and the stoic and superb closer 'States and Spaces"' drive that point home." In April 2014 she undertook an Australian east coast tour promoting the album's local release in the previous month. It reached the ARIA Albums Chart top 100. At the APRA Music Awards of 2016 <mask> and Darren won Best Original Song Composed for the Screen for "Dancing in the Darkness", which was used in The Letdown on ABC-TV. The couple had been approached by the comedy show's creator Sarah Scheller, "We knew that the show had some hilarious moments, but also some introspective moments where the main character feels isolated and is struggling with the changes of being a new mum. 'Dancing in the Darkness' was used in one of these more sensitive scenes, and we felt so happy with how the music worked with the visuals and performances."Lovesome

In April 2018, Allen & Unwin published <mask>'s debut novel Lovesome. Set in 1995 in Sydney's Balmain, Lovesome tells the story of twenty one year old artist and waitress Joni Johnson, and her search for love.

<mask>. (April 20, 1923 – June 1, 2000), commonly known as <mask>, was an American musician, songwriter, bandleader, and record producer of Puerto Rican descent. He is best known for dance-oriented mambo and Latin jazz compositions that endured over a 50-year career. His most famous song is "Oye Como Va". He and his music appear in many films such as The Mambo Kings and Fernando Trueba's Calle 54. He guest-starred on several television shows, including Sesame Street and The Simpsons two-part episode "Who Shot Mr. Burns?". Early life
<mask> was born on April 20, 1923, at Harlem Hospital Center in the New York borough of Manhattan, the son of Ernest and <mask>, stateside Puerto Ricans residing in New York City's Spanish Harlem area.His family moved frequently, but he spent the majority of his childhood in Spanish Harlem. <mask>'s father was the foreman at a razorblade factory. As a child, he was described as hyperactive, and after neighbors complained of hearing seven-year-old <mask> beating on pots and window frames, his mother sent him to 25-cent piano lessons. He switched to percussion by the age of 10, drawing influence from jazz drummer Gene Krupa. He later created a song-and-dance duo with his sister Anna in the 1930s and intended to become a dancer, but an ankle tendon injury prevented him from pursuing dance as a career. When the drummer in Machito's band was drafted to the army, Puente subsequently took his place. Career
Puente served in the Navy for three years during World War II after being drafted in 1942.He was discharged with a Presidential Unit Citation for serving in nine battles on the escort carrier USS Santee (CVE-29). The GI Bill allowed him to study music at Juilliard School of Music, where he completed a formal education in conducting, orchestration and theory. During the 1950s, Puente was at the height of his popularity, and helped to bring Afro-Cuban and Caribbean sounds like mambo, son, and cha-cha-chá, to mainstream audiences. Puente was so successful playing popular Afro-Cuban rhythms that many people mistakenly identify him as Cuban. Dance Mania, possibly Puente's most well known album, was released in 1958. Among his most famous compositions are mambo "Oye como va" (1963), popularized by Latin rock musician Carlos Santana and later interpreted, among others, by Julio Iglesias, Irakere and Celia Cruz. In 1969, he received the key to the City of New York from former Mayor John Lindsay.In 1992, he was inducted into the National Congressional Record, and in 1993 he received the James Smithson Bicentennial Medal from the Smithsonian. In early 2000, <mask> appeared in the music documentary Calle 54. After a show in Puerto Rico on May 31, 2000, he suffered a massive heart attack and was flown to New York City for surgery to repair a heart valve, but complications developed and he died on June 1, 2000, at 2:27am. He was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003. <mask>'s name is often mentioned in a television production called La Epoca, a film about the Palladium era in New York, Afro-Cuban music and rhythms, mambo and salsa as dances and music and much more. The film discusses many of Puente's, as well as Arsenio Rodríguez's, contributions, and features interviews with some of the musicians Puente recorded with Alfonso "El Panameno" Joseph. Puente's son Richard "Richie" <mask> was the percussionist in the 1970s funk band Foxy.<mask>'s youngest son, <mask> Jr., has continued his father's legacy by presenting many of the same songs in his performances and recordings, while daughter Audrey Puente is a television meteorologist for WNYW and WWOR-TV in New York City. Awards and recognition

In 1995, <mask> received the Billboard Latin Music Lifetime Achievement Award. During the presidency of Sen. Roberto Rexach Benítez, <mask> received the unique honor of having both a special session of the Senate of Puerto Rico dedicated to him, and being allowed to perform in his unique style on the floor of the Senate while it was in session. On September 10, 2007, a United States Post Office in Spanish Harlem was named after him at a ceremony presided by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Rep. José Serrano (D-NY). An amphitheatre was named in his honor at Luis Muñoz Marín Park, next  to the Roberto Clemente Coliseum, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 1995, Puente was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Berklee College of Music. Puente performed at the closing ceremonies at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.The timbales he used there are on display at the National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. In 1997, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts. In 1990 he received a Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. (ref Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce)
In 1984 he received an honorary Decree from the Los Angeles City Council. On June 5, 2005, Puente was honored by Union City, New Jersey with a star on the Walk of Fame at Union City's Celia Cruz Park. In 1999, he was inducted into the International Latin Music Hall of Fame. On May 19, 1999, he received an honorary Mus.D degree from Columbia University
On August 20, 2000, East 110th Street in Spanish Harlem was named 'Tito Puente Way'

The Simpsons
Puente appeared in the two-part whodunit drama "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" in the sixth season finale and seventh season premiere of American comedy cartoon show The Simpsons in 1995. In the shows, Puente joins Springfield Elementary School as a music teacher after the school discovers it is located over an oil well. However, Mr. Burns manages to pump the oil first which makes him the legal owner of the well. This causes the school to fall into debt with budget cuts required to the music and maintenance departments, causing Puente to lose his job. When Burns is later shot, Puente becomes one of the prime suspects but manages to clear himself by performing one of his songs for Chief Wiggum.Seven alternative endings were filmed of various characters shooting Burns; Puente is one of the alternates. Although all endings were animated, the ending of Maggie Simpson shooting Burns was the ending chosen to air. The Emmy-nominated song "Señor Burns" from the episode is featured on the 1999 album, Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons. References

Born in Calgary, Alberta, <mask> relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia, to study theatre at Studio 58. He left Studio 58 in 1983 and co-founded the band Spirit of the West. The band released its first independent album the following year. Music

<mask> was the lead vocalist of the folk rock band Spirit of the West and the band's co-founder and co-songwriter along with bandmate Geoffrey Kelly. Spirit of the West's music is a mixture of folk, Alternative rock and pop with a Celtic-influenced sound.The band gained wider popularity with their 1990 major label release Save This House. The album included "Home for a Rest" which became their most recognized song. Co-written by <mask>, "Home for a Rest" is a popular drinking song in Canada; it has been called "legendary" and the "ultimate Canadian frosh-week/wedding-reception anthem" by Marsha Lederman of The Globe and Mail, an "iconic drinking song" by Alex Cooper of the Revelstoke Times Review, and "Canada’s unofficial national anthem" by Patricia D'Cunha of CityNews. In 2010 the song was also listed by Mike Devlin of the Canwest News Service as one of the "Ten best drinking songs of all time" and was ranked #89 on the National Post list of "The Top 100 Canadian Singles". <mask> also played lead guitar for Spirit of the West until 2013, subsequent to his diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's disease. Musician Matthew Harder subsequently joined the band as a replacement guitarist. Spirit of the West planned a retrospective tour in the fall of 2015.Weeks after the announcement, <mask> performed a concert featuring both his solo material and Spirit of the West, which was broadcast by CBC Television's Absolutely Canadian in July 2015 as "John Mann Here and Now". <mask> also released three solo albums: Acoustic Kitty, December Looms and The Waiting Room. The Waiting Room deals with the topic of <mask>'s battle with colorectal cancer, and was adapted into a theatrical work by Morris Panych which was produced by Vancouver's Arts Club Theatre Company in 2015. Although <mask> was initially slated to play the lead role, due to his health he did not do so, although he performed the songs from the album as part of the show. During his solo shows, <mask> continued to play guitar, but also employed an accompanist. In addition to Spirit of the West and his solo albums, <mask> appeared as a guest musician on recordings by Mae Moore, The Waltons, James Keelaghan and Paul Hyde. Acting

Television
<mask> studied theatre at Studio 58 in Vancouver, but he put his acting career on hold when he joined Spirit of the West in 1983.<mask> returned to acting in the 1998 when a high school friend, who was working as a talent agent, asked if he wanted to audition for the TV series Millennium; he appeared in the episode Millennium episode "Via Dolorosa" that aired in May 1999. <mask> went on to appear on several television shows as a guest actor, including Cold Squad, Dark Angel, Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica, Smallville and Da Vinci's Inquest. He also played recurring characters in the series Whistler, Haunted, Blood Ties and Intelligence. Film

<mask> played dual roles in the 2001 film Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal. In the film he portrayed the character Slade Craven—a goth rocker reminiscent of Marilyn Manson who stages a concert in a 747—and Simon Flanders—a passenger of the flight who is a Satanic fan planning to crash the plane in Eastern Kansas while disguised as Craven. <mask> Mitchell: River at The Vancouver Playhouse, and Miss Saigon at The Arts Club Stanley Theatre in the role of The Engineer—a role that earned him a Jessie Award nomination for Best Actor.In 2010 he starred in the rock musical Beyond Eden, which was mounted by both the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company and Theatre Calgary. Personal life
<mask> was married to actress and playwright Jill Daum. The couple have two children, son Harlan and daughter Hattie. Their children use the blended surname Daumann. Harlan Daumann is also a musician, whose song "By Tomorrow" was recorded by <mask> on his solo album December Looms. Prior to marrying Daum, he was romantically linked with Jean Smith of the band Mecca Normal, who was revealed in the 2001 book Have Not Been the Same: The Can-Rock Renaissance 1985-1995 as the inspiration behind one of Spirit of the West's best-known hit singles, "Political". Illness and death
In 2009 <mask> was diagnosed with colorectal cancer which he overcame in 2010, and by 2011 he had made a full recovery.In September 2014, <mask> announced that he had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. <mask> said he had noted memory issues during his acting performances as far back as 2001 and he later experienced issues with remembering lyrics and guitar chords during his musical performances. He had noted also his issues with dementia while being treated for cancer, but his doctors considered the problems to be related to the stress and strain of battling cancer. In an official statement posted to Spirit of the West's official website, Daum stated: "Although we may never know what triggered <mask>'s condition, it seems safe to conclude that his battle with cancer in 2010 was a contributor." Weeks after the announcement, <mask> performed a concert featuring his solo material and that of Spirit of the West, which was broadcast by CBC Television's Absolutely Canadian in July 2015 as "John Mann Here and Now". At the time, <mask> planned to continue touring and performing with Spirit of the West as long as he remained able to do so. The band later announced that it would perform its final concert in April 2016.<mask> continued to perform occasional small-scale solo shows, including an appearance at a fundraiser for Alzheimer's charities in June 2016. <mask> underwent a stem cell procedure in hopes of helping his Alzheimer's. An online fundraiser in December 2015 quickly amassed more than $55,000, for the procedure. The procedure took place at a clinic in Mexico because the therapy has not been approved in Canada. In 2015 filmmaker Pete McCormack filmed the documentary Spirit Unforgettable that documented <mask> as he dealt with the early onset of the disease and his preparation for Spirit of the West's concert at Massey Hall. The film was screened at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in April 2016, and aired on HBO Canada later in the year. <mask> wrote a few solo songs following his diagnosis, including one for Spirit Unforgettable and two for Daum's Alzheimer-related theatrical play Forget About Tomorrow.Following his diagnosis, musicians in Toronto staged an annual benefit concert, consisting of Spirit of the West songs and other favourite songs of <mask>'s, to raise money for Alzheimer's research. Performers at the 2017 "Spirit of John" event included Steven Page, Danny Michel, Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson of Skydiggers, Tom Wilson, Martin Tielli, Kevin Kane, Danny Greaves, Justin Rutledge and Damhnait Doyle. A similar show in 2019 included Greaves, Maize, Finlayson, Doyle, Kane, Royal Wood, Andrew Cash, Jim Cuddy, Dayna <mask> and Chris Tait. In 2017, friends and colleagues organized a similar concert in Vancouver on November 19 at the Commodore Ballroom, with a lineup including Spirit of the West, Odds, Barney Bentall, Dustin Bentall, Jim Byrnes, Kendel Carson, Jim Cuddy, Alan Doyle, Colin James, Sarah McLachlan, Ed Robertson, Shari Ulrich and Spirit: The Next Generation, an act consisting of the band members' children. Before the Vancouver show, the performing musicians participated in a group recording of the band's signature song "Home for a Rest" as a tribute to <mask>. In 2018, Vancouver's Off the Rail Brewing Company introduced The Spirit Lifter, a limited edition pilsner, to raise funds for <mask>'s medical costs. <mask> died in Vancouver on November 20, 2019, at age 57.Discography

He played for the Minnesota Wild, St. Louis Blues, and Philadelphia Flyers. Growing up in Elk River, Minnesota, <mask> attended Elk River High School where he was a two-time All Conference selection and played in two State Tournaments. He experienced a growth spurt in his junior year and left Elk River as a senior to begin playing for the Sioux Falls Stampede of the United States Hockey League (USHL). He subsequently earned a full ride to play for the Colorado College Tigers for four years before signing an entry-level contract with the Minnesota Wild. Early life
<mask> was born on May 7, 1986, in Elk River, Minnesota, to mother Margaret, an aerobics instructor and personal trainer, and father Chris, who used to play hockey at Anoka High School and at West Point. <mask> grew up alongside two older siblings and his brother Luke taught him to play hockey.Due to his short stature, <mask> played defence or goaltender growing up because he was not able to keep up with the forwards. Playing career

Amateur
Growing up in Elk River, Minnesota, <mask> attended Elk River High School where he was a two-time All Conference selection and played in two State Tournaments. During his junior year, he experienced a growth spurt and went from  to , which resulted in more views from scouts and invites to junior hockey tryout camps. He was named captain of the Elk River hockey team in his senior year before he received a proposition from the Sioux Falls Stampede of the United States Hockey League (USHL) who asked him to join their team. <mask> played two full seasons with the Stampede, and while serving as captain led them to the 2005–06 Anderson Cup championship. However, he suffered from two concussions during his time in the USHL and was only allowed to return to the ice if he used an extra-padded helmet. After going undrafted into the National Hockey League (NHL) during his years of eligibility, his family adviser encouraged him to attend development camps with the St. Louis Blues and New York Islanders while attending Colorado College.Collegiate
<mask> attended Colorado College for four years, during which he played for the Colorado College Tigers. In his freshman year, <mask> split his time on ice with fellow freshman Kris Fredheim and recorded three assists in 21 games. One of his assists came on the game-winning goal in a 7–2 home-ice win over Minnesota State. In his junior season, <mask> played in all 38 games and recorded five goals, the most amongst Tigers' defensemen. With his assistance, the Tigers tied with the Wisconsin Badgers for third place in the WCHA but were swept by the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs in the WCHA first round. He returned to Tigers for his senior year and was named to the All-WCHA Second Team. Professional

Minnesota Wild
On March 18, 2010, <mask> concluded his collegiate career by signing a one-year entry-level contract with the Minnesota Wild.After signing the contract, <mask> immediately made his NHL debut on April 5, 2010, against the Edmonton Oilers as a result of various injuries. He finished the game by assisting on Andrew Brunette's 25th goal of the season in the 4–1 loss and playing 19 minutes of ice time. During the off-season, he travelled with members of the team on the Minnesota Wild Road Tour as part of a fundraiser for Sioux Falls Youth Hockey. <mask> also signed another one-year contract to remain with the team for the 2010–11 season. <mask> returned to the Wild for 2010–11 training camp but was re-assigned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Houston Aeros, to begin the season. He played in 58 games, recording 19 points, before being recalled by the Wild for the first time that season on February 23, 2011. With his assistance, the Aeros won their third Conference Championship and became the runner up in the 2011 Calder Cup Finals against the Binghamton Senators.<mask> returned to the Wild for their 2011–12 Training Camp but was re-assigned to the Houston Aeros. After being re-called to the NHL level in early January, <mask> suffered an illegal check from Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres who was subsequently suspended two games for charging. The following month, <mask> was signed to a two-year contract extension on February 6, 2012. The day after signing the extension, <mask> said in an interview he would celebrate the contract "by scoring against the Blue Jackets." As a result, he then scored his first career NHL goal on February 7, 2012, against Curtis Sanford of the Columbus Blue Jackets in an eventual 3–1 loss. Later in the season, <mask> headbutted Jamal Mayers during a scrum in front of the Chicago Blackhawks' net. For his action he was suspended for one game.The 2012–13 season was the first season <mask> began the season with the Wild and remained there for the entirety of the season. On January 18, 2014, <mask> scored the game-winning overtime goal against the Dallas Stars on Hockey Day Minnesota. The Hockey Day Minnesota event was being hosted in Elk River, Minnesota that year, the town <mask> was born in. St. Louis Blues and return to Minnesota
On July 21, 2014, after four seasons within the Wild organization, <mask> left as a free agent to sign a one-year, two-way contract with the St. Louis Blues. However, <mask> did not win a spot on the Blues roster during training camp for the 2014–15 season and was placed on waivers by the team. On October 2, 2014, <mask> was re-claimed by the Wild off waivers. Nearing the conclusion of the 2015–16 season, <mask> was the Wild's nomination for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy as a "player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey."His nomination was the result of his support for charity initiatives including Defending The Blue Line, Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota and Wishes & More. On August 3, 2017, <mask> signed a two-year contract with the St. Louis Blues worth $1.3 million and $650,000 annually. He began the 2017–18 season as a healthy scratch before making his debut with the Blues in a 5–2 victory over the Calgary Flames on October 25, 2017. <mask> was unable to add to his lone appearance with the Blues, resuming his role as a reserve on the blueline. On November 29, 2017, he was placed on waivers by the Blues, and was claimed by the Wild, marking his third stint with the club on November 30. Philadelphia Flyers
On July 1, 2019, <mask> again left the Wild as a free agent to sign a two-year, two-way contract with the Philadelphia Flyers worth $700,000 per season. After attending the Flyers' training camp prior to the 2019–20 season, he was re-assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.On October 4, 2019, <mask> was named co-captain of the Phantoms alongside Andy Andreoff and Cal O'Reilly.

I’m just trying to have some fun with it." As a result of injuries,  <mask> made his debut with the Philadelphia Flyers on January 28, 2021, against the New Jersey Devils, where he netted his first goal since April 2018.<mask> announced his retirement from professional ice hockey on January 11, 2022.

<mask> (2 June 1865 – 1 December 1901) was an English cricketer, regarded as one of the greatest bowlers of all time. Statistically, he holds the lowest lifetime Test bowling average among bowlers with more than fifteen wickets and he has the second highest peak rating for a bowler in the ICC ratings. He also holds the record for the lowest strike rate (balls bowled between each wicket taken) in all Test history. He bowled at around medium pace and on English pitches of his time could gain spin, so that when rain affected the pitch he was unplayable. Against the best batsmen, too, <mask> possessed skill and guile, and he could vary his pace, flight and break deceptively, so as to worry batsmen on better pitches. He was the finest slip fielder of his time and in county cricket a hard-hitting batsman who scored two centuries for Surrey and averaged 25 in 1887. In 2016, <mask> was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.Early years
<mask> first played first-class cricket for Surrey in ten matches during 1884. He did little bowling but nonetheless established himself as a regular member of the side for his promising batting. The following year was nothing short of a sensation. <mask> not only became Surrey's leading bowler, but was the leading first-class wicket-taker with 142 wickets. He also showed his promise as a batsman was no fluke, for he scored 571 runs. In 1886, <mask> did equally well and played his first Test matches for England against Australia. He took only one wicket at Old Trafford, and none at Lord's, but his continued superb form in other first-class matches saw him retained for the last match at The Oval.Here, <mask> established himself as a great bowler with a superb twelve for 104 (7 for 36 and 5 for 68), giving England what is still one of its most decisive wins in an Ashes series. Again being the leading first-class wicket-taker, <mask> was chosen to tour Australia with Alfred Shaw's team. World's premier bowler
On his first tour, <mask> moved even further ahead of the pack as a bowler. In the Second Test at the SCG, <mask> became the first bowler to take eight wickets in a Test innings, and in the abnormally dry summer of 1887 showed himself far ahead of any other bowler – taking 154 wickets when the next best was 114. He also made his highest score as a batsman, scoring 115 against Sussex at Hove, whilst his aggregate of runs for the season totalled 843. <mask> again toured Australia in the winter of 1887/1888, and with Johnny Briggs formed an irresistible combination in the only Test match on a sticky wicket. In 1888, a summer as wet as 1887 had been dry, <mask> took full advantage of the dreadful pitches on which most matches were played, taking 209 wickets for only 10.90 each (including 143 in 14 county matches).In the three Tests against Australia, Briggs, Bobby Peel and Billy Barnes did so well that <mask> had to do little bowling at the Oval and Old Trafford. However, he took eight wickets at Lord's and made his only Test fifty at the Oval. In 1889, <mask> again took over 200 wickets (115 for 1485 runs in purely county matches) and took nine wickets in an innings for the first time against Sussex. Early County Championship triumphs
In 1890, the County Championship was officially constituted for the first time after years of unofficial "champion" counties (Surrey had been acknowledged as the champion county since 1887). <mask> continued to carry all before him in 1890, taking a career-best 220 wickets and being the leading wicket-taker outside of touring teams for the sixth successive year (a feat bettered only by Tich Freeman between 1928 and 1935). For Surrey in county cricket he totalled 113 wickets, and he again helped England to victory over Australia in the only Tests where cricket took place. In 1891, <mask> was the leading English wicket-taker for the seventh successive year with 177 wickets as Surrey carried all before them in a wet summer, and on the following year's Australian tour, he again bowled wonderfully well, taking eight for 58 on a dry wicket in Sydney.In 1892, with Surrey still crushing all opposition in the County Championship race, <mask> "suffered only by comparison with previous years" (Wisden). He surprisingly ceded the position of Surrey's chief bowler to the emergent William Lockwood who took full advantage of Oval pitches being extremely fiery and untrue due to reconditioning of the square, but it still seemed as though <mask> had many years of county and Test cricket ahead of him. A rude shock to Surrey was to come, however. Illness and comeback
After the 1892 season had ended, a dreadful shock came when it was announced that <mask> had contracted tuberculosis. In an effort to improve his health, <mask> sailed during the 1892/1893 winter to Cape Town. Although at first it was hoped that he might return even when the 1893 season began, for two years <mask>'s health did not at first improve and he could not play at all for Surrey in 1893 or 1894. In fact, <mask> was not well enough to play any cricket until the 1894/1895 Currie Cup final where he turned out for Western Province.By July 1895 his health had recovered sufficiently for him to return to England and play for Surrey again. Fortuitously, <mask>'s return coincided with a return to extremely treacherous wickets after a long spell of dry weather and much better pitches than <mask> had ever bowled on before. Though completely overshadowed by Tom Richardson, the mere fact of missing the good wickets in May and June caused <mask> to actually beat Richardson in the averages, though his batting (seen as an important part of his county cricket up to 1892) was completely insignificant. Record breaking feats

Returning to the British Cape Colony to maintain his health, <mask> played no more first-class cricket until February, yet on the matting wickets in three "Tests" (the England eleven was no more than England "A" of today), <mask> was so unplayable that he took 35 wickets for the remarkable average of just 5.80 runs each. During this series <mask> twice broke the record for best analysis in Test cricket: he took 15 for 45 in the first Test, including a hat-trick (the fourth Test cricket hat-trick) at the end of the second innings to win the match; and after not being put on initially in the second Test, he became the first bowler to take nine wickets in a Test innings (a feat subsequently emulated only 14 times and surpassed only three times). In 1896, <mask> began to play for Surrey at the end of May, and, though he took 93 wickets and helped Richardson to put Australia out for 53 on a good wicket at Lord's, it was thought he had not come up to expectations. Indeed, on several occasions when pitches were suited to him (against Middlesex at The Oval, Somerset at Taunton and Lancashire at Manchester), his bowling should have met with much greater success.Still, he had a fully satisfactory benefit in the game against Yorkshire in August. A pay dispute, in which he demanded twice the existing 10-pound match fee given at the time to professional cricketers caused <mask>, along with Billy Gunn to withdraw from the last Test match. He continued to play for Surrey that August, but at the end of the season his health again degenerated and he had to return to South Africa and a continuation of the 1896 pay dispute caused <mask> to retire from his English career for good. He is also the fastest test bowler to reach 100 wicket club, taking him just 16 Test matches. <mask> also holds the record for the most Test matches in a complete career (18) where a player bowled in both innings. Last days
<mask> emigrated to the British Cape Colony permanently in 1897 and played a full season of first-class cricket for Western Province. In five matches on matting pitches during March 1897 he took 34 wickets for 12.26 runs each, but it was clear throughout that year that his health was unlikely to recover, and he was able to play only one further first-class match for "A Bailey's Transvaal XI".<mask> did come back to England in 1901 to manage the second South African touring team (and the first whose matches were recognised as first-class). However, his health was clearly never going to recover completely, and even after returning to Cape Town with the onset of autumn in England, <mask>'s condition only became more critical. On 1 December 1901, the tuberculosis he had fought against for nine years finally claimed his life at age 36. He was buried at Matjiesfontein. Awards

<mask> (born 1964) is an American graphic designer known for book covers. Early childhood
Born in Shillington in Berks County, Pennsylvania, Kidd grew up being fascinated and heavily inspired by American popular culture. Comic books were his gateway into graphic design, with Batman and Superman populating some of his earliest childhood memories. Kidd attended Pennsylvania State University, where he graduated in 1986 with a degree in graphic design. Career
Throughout his career, Kidd has been a graphic designer, book designer, editor, author, lecturer and musician. According to Graphic Design: American Two, he has been credited with “helping to spawn a revolution in the art of America book packaging in the last ten years.”
 One of the most consistent characteristics of Kidd’s style is the fact that his book covers don’t carry one signature look, as he states: “A signature look is crippling… [because] the simplest and most effective solutions aren’t dictated by style.”

Cover design

<mask> is currently the associate art director at Knopf, an imprint of Random House. He first joined the Knopf design team in 1986, when he was hired as a junior assistant.Turning out jacket designs at an average of 75 covers a year, Kidd has freelanced for Amazon, Doubleday, Farrar Straus & Giroux, Grove Press, HarperCollins, Penguin/Putnam, Scribner and Columbia University Press, in addition to his work for Knopf. Kidd also supervised graphic novels at Pantheon, and in 2003 he collaborated with Art Spiegelman on a biography of cartoonist Jack Cole, Jack Cole and Plastic Man: Forms Stretched to Their Limits. His output includes cover concepts for books by Mark Beyer, Bret Easton Ellis, Haruki Murakami, Dean Koontz, Cormac McCarthy, Frank Miller, Michael Ondaatje, Alex Ross, Charles Schulz, Osamu Tezuka, Gengoroh Tagame, David Sedaris, Donna Tartt, John Updike and many others. His most notable book cover design was for Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park novel, which was so successful that it carried over into marketing for the film adaptation. Oliver Sacks and other authors have contract clauses stating that Kidd design their book covers. Kidd’s influence on the book-jacket has been amply noted—Time Out New York has said that “the history of book design can be split into two eras: before graphic designer <mask>d and after.”

<mask> has also worked with writer Lisa Birnbach on True Prep, a follow-up to her 1980 book The Official Preppy Handbook. Publishers Weekly described his book jackets as "creepy, striking, sly, smart, unpredictable covers that make readers appreciate books as objects of art as well as literature."USA Today also called him "the closest thing to a rock star" in graphic design today, while author James Ellroy has called him “the world's greatest book-jacket designer.”

<mask> is often asked about his  creative process. On the source of his inspiration, <mask> told Matt Pashkow in Inspirability that “for the most part I’m inspired by whatever the book is, or by the  manuscript itself.” For the USA Today, he outlined his process for  creating a cover. After closely reading the work he contacts the author, who  “has final say, so it’s a logical starting point.” “Along the way, I may or may  not involve photographers or illustrators or any amount of ephemeral detritus  that washes up on my shores in the pursuit of solving the problem. And that is  what it always amounts to: visually solving a problem.” He says that this  solution can take up to six months to find. Kidd has often downplayed the importance of cover designs, stating, "I'm very much against the idea that the cover will sell the book. Marketing departments of publishing houses tend to latch onto this concept and they can't let go. But it's about whether the book itself really connects with the public, and the cover is only a small part of that."He is also known to be humorously self-deprecating about his work with statements such as "I piggy-backed my career on the backs of authors, not the other way around. The latest example of that is The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. I'm lucky to be attached to that. Cormac McCarthy is not lucky to have me doing his cover." Kidd is a huge fan of comic book media, particularly Batman, and has written and designed book covers for several DC Comics publications, including The Complete History of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, The Golden Age of DC Comics: 365 Days, and the aforementioned Jack Cole and Plastic Man. He also designed Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross and wrote an exclusive Batman/Superman story illustrated by Ross for the book. Kidd once stated that the first cover he ever noticed was "no doubt for some sort of Batman comic I saw when I was about 3, enough said.Or maybe not enough said: the colors, the forms, the design. Batman himself is such a brilliant design solution." Veronique Vienne, who wrote an eponymous book about <mask> in 2006, described <mask>'s Batman fandom as a "childhood obsession and lasting adult passion". <mask> provided the cover design for Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again (2001, 2002). Novels
His first novel, The Cheese Monkeys, (Simon & Schuster, 2001) is an academic satire and coming-of-age tale about state college art students who struggle to meet the demands of a sadistic graphic design instructor. The book draws on <mask>'s real-life experiencess during his art studies with Lanny Sommese at Penn State. <mask>'s second novel, The Learners, finds the protagonist of The Cheese Monkeys drawn into the infamous Milgram experiment, thanks to an incidental newspaper ad assignment.The novel uses the experiment as an extended metaphor for advertising, wherein the "content" is masked and fed—sometimes unwillingly—to its consumers. It was announced at New York Comic Con 2011 that <mask> would be writing Batman: Death by Design, an original graphic novel, which was then published in 2012. Other books
In 1996, Kidd designed and wrote Batman: Collected. Kidd also worked with fellow Batman collector Saul Ferris on another book of a more particular subject, Bat-Manga! : The Secret History of Batman in Japan, which was released for sale in October 2008. Music
In early 2008, Kidd started a new wave/alternative rock band, writing and recording music under the name Artbreak. He takes the role of song writing, vocals, and percussion, and while the group began as hobby, Kidd has expressed interest in making a serious project out of it., the group performs across the United States and has a tour schedule on their MySpace. They plan to record their original songs for an album entitled Wonderground. Animation
In 2010, Kidd collaborated with the writing staff of the animated series Batman: The Brave and the Bold on the episode "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!" The episode contained a segment that was heavily inspired by the Batman cartoon from the 1960s. Advocacy

In 2013, Kidd was announced as a member of the newly-formed Advisory Board of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, a non-profit organization founded in 1986 chartered to protect the First Amendment rights of the comics community. Talks
Kidd has presented lectures at Princeton, Yale, Harvard, RISD, and numerous other institutions, including the 2012 Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) Conference, resulting in a TED Talk web video: “Designing books is no laughing matter. OK, it is,” that has over 2,000,000 hits and counting.He also returned to Penn State recently, where he presented his lecture, “Fail Better.”

In December, she was awarded the silver medal at the Grand Prix Final in Marseille, being outscored only by Medvedeva.Later that month, she defeated Wakaba Higuchi and Mai Mihara at the Japan Championships to win her third national title. Due to a stress fracture in her left pelvic girdle, Miyahara withdrew from two February competitions, the 2017 Four Continents Championships and the 2017 Asian Winter Games. To focus on recovery she also decided to withdraw from the 2017 World Championships. The hip injury was attributed to low bone density. 2017–2018 season: Olympic season
Miyahara injured her left foot in July and was diagnosed with inflammation in her right hip in September. She resumed jumping in October. At the 2017 NHK Trophy she finished 5th after underrotating jumps in both nights, but rallied three weeks later to win gold at the 2017 Skate America.She was the first alternate for the 2017-2018 Grand Prix Final in Nagoya, but got promoted and competed in the Final after 2016 champion Evgenia Medvedeva withdrew due to injury. At the Grand Prix Final, she finished third in the short program and fourth in the free skate, finishing fifth overall after lower ranked skaters in the short program performed stronger free skates. Miyahara, while competing well, underrotated two of her jumps in the free skate, also contributing to a lower result. At the 2017 Japan Championships, <mask> was crowned the national champion for the fourth time after placing second in the short program and first in the free skate. On December 24, 2017, she was selected to represent Japan at the 2018 Four Continents Championships in Taipei, the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and 2018 World Championships in Milan, Italy.

She took bronze overall, behind Kaetlyn Osmond (gold) and teammate Wakaba Higuchi (silver). 2018–2019 season
In preparation for the season, <mask> worked with a new strength trainer and focused especially on strengthening her hamstrings.Competing first at the 2018 U.S. Classic, she won gold. She went on to win the 2018 Skate America event, placing first in both segments. At her second Grand Prix event, the 2018 NHK Trophy, Miyahara placed second in both programs, narrowly winning the silver medal ahead of Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and behind compatriot Rika Kihira. In the short program, she set a new personal best. She received two underrotation calls in the free skate, and remarked "I was very nervous in my long program. I am disappointed, but I know that I will try harder, so I do better in the future." Her results qualified her for the 2018–19 Grand Prix Final, where she finished sixth, following a combination error in the short program and several underrotated jumps in the free skate.Miyahara deemed it a "frustrating competition", but "I think it will be helpful for the future." At the 2018 Japan Championships, Miyahara won the short program, slightly more than a point ahead of Sakamoto. Several errors lead to her placing fourth in the free skate, dropping to the bronze medal position overall behind Sakamoto and Kihira. She was named to the Japanese team for the 2019 World Championships in Saitama. Miyahara placed eighth in the short program at the World Championships, after underrotating the second part of her jump combination. She rose to sixth place in the free skate after making only one minor error. Miyahara deemed the season as a whole "mentally one of the toughest seasons", and felt she "had more disappointing competitions over good ones", but that the final event was a strong one.2019–2020 season
On September 18, 2019, <mask>'s representatives announced that she had moved her primary training base to the Granite Club in Toronto, and was adding Lee Barkell as a coach, though she would continue to be coached by Mie Hamada as well. Miyahara stated that her main goal was to perform a triple Axel in competition. She would later say "to grow up, I chose to go to Toronto." She began her season at 2019 Japan Open, where she placed fourth with a score of 134.94 points, contributing to Team Japan's silver medal. At 2019 U.S. Classic, she placed first in the short program with 74.16 points and second in the free skate with 130.14 points, once again winning the gold medal at the event. At her first Grand Prix event, the 2019 Cup of China, she placed second in the short program despite two underrotations. She was third in the free skate, with three jump underrotations, but remained in second place overall, taking the silver medal.Competing the following week at the 2019 Rostelecom Cup, Miyahara placed sixth in the short program after doubling a planned triple Lutz and managing only a triple-double jump combination. She moved from sixth to fourth place in the free skate despite five of her jumps being called underrotated. Miyahara placed second in the short program at the 2019–20 Japanese Championships after underrotating the second part of her jump combination. She was sixth in the free skate after falling once and underrotating or downgrading eight jumps, and dropped to fourth place overall, her first time finishing off the podium at her national championships since 2013. Disappointed, she commented "I was really good at practice, but I could not control myself tonight, especially in the second half." Despite her nationals finish, Miyahara was assigned to compete at the World Championships in Montreal rather than national bronze medalist Tomoe Kawabata, but the World Championships were cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. 2020–2021 season
Miyahara was given a bye to the Japan Championships due to the COVID-19 pandemic making it impractical for her to travel back from her training location in Canada for lesser domestic events.In October, Mie Hamada was removed as one of her coaches on her ISU bio, which listed Lee Barkell as her sole coach. <mask> was assigned to compete at the 2020 Skate Canada International, but this event was also cancelled as a result of the pandemic. In December, <mask> returned to Japan to compete at the 2020–21 Japan Championships. She placed sixth in the short program after performing only an invalid double loop as her solo jump instead of a planned triple. Third in the free skate, she rose to the bronze medal position. She was assigned to compete at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm. Miyahara suffered a right foot injury later in December that kept her off the ice for some time.She struggled at the World Championships, placing nineteenth, the first time she had placed outside the top six. In her assessment, "in terms of technique, it wasn't a performance worth talking about." 2021–2022 season
Miyahara withdrew from the 2021 CS Autumn Classic International, and thus did not participate in a Challenger event prior to the beginning of the Grand Prix. Competing at the 2021 Skate America, Miyahara placed seventh. Her second Grand Prix was initially the 2021 Cup of China, but following its cancellation she was reassigned to the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia in Turin. She placed fifth at the event, despite a number of underrotations, and said afterward "there were some issues with some things, but at least I landed all jumps today. I think it's a pretty big step from the last two seasons and I think I was in control of myself better."At the 2021–22 Japan Championships, <mask> placed fourth in the short program. She was sixth in the free skate after underrotating several jumps, and finished fifth overall. She was named as an alternate for the Japanese Olympic team, and assigned to compete at the 2022 Four Continents Championships. <mask> subsequently withdrew from Four Continents due to illness, and was replaced by Yuhana Yokoi.

<mask> "Bob" <mask> (; born February 19, 1943) is an American evolutionary biologist and sociobiologist. <mask> proposed the theories of reciprocal altruism (1971), parental investment (1972), facultative sex ratio determination (1973), and parent–offspring conflict (1974). He has also contributed by explaining self-deception as an adaptive evolutionary strategy (first described in 1976) and discussing intragenomic conflict. Education
<mask> studied evolutionary theory with Ernst Mayr and William Drury at Harvard from 1968 to 1972, when he earned his PhD in biology. At Harvard he published a series of some of the most influential and highly cited papers in evolutionary biology. His first major paper as a graduate student was The Evolution of Reciprocal Altruism, published in 1971. In this paper <mask> offers a solution to the longstanding problem of cooperation among unrelated individuals and by doing so overcame a crucial problem for how to police the system by proposing ways that the process of natural selection could evolve ways to detect cheaters.His next major paper, Parental Investment and Sexual Selection, was published the following year. Here <mask> proposed a general framework for understanding sexual selection that had eluded evolutionary thinkers since Charles Darwin. Arguably his most important paper, it arose from watching male and female pigeons out the window of his third floor apartment in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and by his reading a 1948 paper by Angus Bateman (“Intra-sexual selection in Drosophila”) which demonstrated that sex differences in the intensity of selection in fruit flies were based on their ability to obtain mates. The primary insight of <mask> was that the key variable underlying the evolution of sex differences across species was relative parental investment in offspring. Career and research
<mask> was on the faculty at Harvard University from 1973 to 1978, and then moved to the University of California, Santa Cruz where he was a faculty member 1978 to 1994. He is currently a Rutgers University notable faculty member. In the 2008–09 academic year, he was a Fellow at the Berlin Institute for Advanced Study.<mask> was awarded the 2007 Crafoord Prize in Biosciences for "his fundamental analysis of social evolution, conflict and cooperation". <mask> met Huey P. Newton, Chairman of the Black Panther Party, in 1978 when Newton applied while in prison to do a reading course with <mask> as part of a graduate degree in History of Consciousness at UC Santa Cruz. <mask> and Newton became close friends: Newton was godfather to one of <mask>'s daughters. <mask> joined the Black Panther Party in 1979. <mask> and Newton published an analysis of the role of self-deception by the flight crew in the crash of Air Florida Flight 90. <mask> was "ex-communicated" from the Panthers by Newton in 1982 for "his own good." <mask> wrote the original foreword to Richard Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene, in which <mask> first proposed his adaptive theory of self-deception.Suspension
In 2015, Rutgers University suspended <mask> with pay as part of an ongoing dispute regarding a class on "Human Aggression" the Anthropology department had assigned to him. <mask> said that he was told to teach the class even though he objected that he knew nothing about the specific subject. In his first lecture, <mask> told the class he would do his best to learn the subject along with them and with the help of guest lecturers. Rutgers suspended <mask> for involving the students in the controversy. <mask> told the Rutgers campus newsletter that Rutgers's officials refused to meet with him. <mask> also told the student paper: "You would think the university would show a little respect for my teaching abilities on subjects that I know about and not force me to teach a course on a subject that I do not at all master." <mask> has had a contentious few years at Rutgers.Influence
<mask> is among the most influential evolutionary theorists alive today. Steven Pinker considers <mask> to be "one of the great thinkers in the history of Western thought", who has:
...inspired an astonishing amount of research and commentary in psychology and biology—the fields of sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, Darwinian social science, and behavioral ecology are in large part attempt to test and flesh out <mask>'s ideas. It is no coincidence that E. O. Wilson's Sociobiology and Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene were published in 1975 and 1976 respectively, just a few years after <mask>'s seminal papers. Both bestselling authors openly acknowledged that they were popularizing <mask>'s ideas and the research they spawned. Likewise for the much-talked-about books on evolutionary psychology in the 1990s—The Adapted Mind, The Red Queen, Born to Rebel, The Origins of Virtue, The Moral Animal, and my own How the Mind Works. Each of these books is based in large part on <mask>'s ideas and the explosion of research they inspired, involving dozens of animal species, mathematical and computer modeling, and human social and cognitive psychology.
