ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hurston, Zora Neale / Bordelon, Pamela, PUBLISHER: W. W. Norton & Company, When Pamala Bordelon was researching a work on the Florida Federal Writers Project, she discovered writings in the collection that were unmistakably from the hand of Zora Neale Hurston, one of the leading writers of the Harlem Renaissance. Over half of the works included here have not been published or are only available in the Library of America edition of Hurston's works. As Hurston's fans know, all of her novels draw upon her deep interest in folklore, particularly from her home state of Florida. Here we see the roots of that work, from the wonderful folktale of the monstrous alligator living in a local lake to her recording of folk songs to her work on children's games and the black church. There are also fiery and controversial essays on race and the work of black artists. In a biographical essay, Pamala Bordelon, with the help of Hurston's niece, has re-created the years during which Hurston was working for the FWP and living in Eatonville. She has put together the portrait of a serious writer and folklorist who was running tight on money, but big on spirit. This book is an important new addition to Hurston's work.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Porterfield, Mannix, PUBLISHER: iUniverse.com, Shirley Love might have spent his life as an obscure welder, struggling to raise his family in West Virginia, but a performance in church one Sunday changed his life. As Love sang a little-known hymn, a worshipper-a radio station owner-was impressed with the teenager's voice and invited him to audition as an announcer. Although reluctant, Love tried out and landed the position. From there, he moved into fledgling television and began to anchor a raucous local event: Saturday Night Wrestlin'. The show, always completely scripted, triggered passions ignited by the demeaning talk, revealing the worst in human emotions. Through it all, Love kept his demeanor, dodging a hail of soft drinks and rotten vegetables hurled by irate fans at the wrestlers. Love's popularity thrust him into West Virginia politics, attending National Democratic Conventions as a delegate and gaining a gubernatorial appointment as a state senator-a post to which he was reelected in every subsequent election cycle. Author Mannix Porterfield chronicles the engaging details of Shirley Love's life, through the eyes of Love, his family, and his colleagues. Love's life proves that talent, desire, and energy can propel a shy individual with a provocative name from obscurity to success.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Meade, Teresa A., PUBLISHER: Penn State University Press, A massive urban renewal and public-health campaign in the first decades of the nineteenth century transformed Brazil's capital into a showcase of European architecture and public works. The renovation of Rio, or "civilization" campaign, as the government called it, widened streets, modernized the port, and improved sanitation, lighting, and public transportation. These changes made life worse, not better, for the majority of the city's residents, however; the laboring poor could no longer afford to live in the downtown, and the public-health plan did not extend to the peripheral areas where they were being forced to move. Their resistance is the focus of Teresa Meade's study. Meade details how Rio grew according to the requirements of international capital, which financed, planned, and oversaw the renewal-and how local movements resisted these powerful, distant forces. She also traces the popular rebellion that continued for more than twenty years after the renovation ended in , illustrating that community protests are the major characteristic of political life in the modern era. Teresa A. Meade is Associate Professor of History at Union College in Schenectady, New York. She is co-editor, with Mark Walker, of Science, Medicine, and Cultural Imperialism (St. Martin's, ).

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Adolf, Antony, PUBLISHER: Polity Press, How peace has been made and maintained, experienced and imagined is not only a matter of historical interest, but also of pressing concern. Peace: A World History is the first study to explore the full spectrum of peace and peacemaking from prehistoric to contemporary times in a single volume aimed at improving their prospects. By focusing on key periods, events, people, ideas and texts, Antony Adolf shows how the inspiring possibilities and pragmatic limits of peace and peacemaking were shaped by their cultural contexts and, in turn, shaped local and global histories. Diplomatic, pacifist, legal, transformative non-violent and anti-war movements are just a few prominent examples. Proposed and performed in socio-economic, political, religious, philosophical and other ways, the diversity of peace and peacemaking Adolf presents challenges the notions that peace is solely the absence of war, this negation is the only task of peacemakers, and that history is exclusively written by military victors. "Without the victories of peacemakers and the resourcefulness of the peaceful," he contends, "there would be no history to write." This book is essential reading for students, scholars, policy-shapers, activists and general readers involved with how present forms of peace and peacemaking have been influenced by those of the past, and how future forms can benefit by taking these into account.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lewbart, Gregory A., PUBLISHER: Thieme/Manson, The keeping of ornamental fishes is the biggest animal related hobby in the world.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Volchkov, Valery V. / Volchkov, Vitaly V. / Volchkov, V. V., PUBLISHER: Springer, The book presents the first systematic and unified treatment of the theory of mean periodic functions on homogeneous spaces. This area has its classical roots in the beginning of the twentieth century and is now a very active research area, having close connections to harmonic analysis, complex analysis, integral geometry, and analysis on symmetric spaces. The main purpose of this book is the study of local aspects of spectral analysis and spectral synthesis on Euclidean spaces, Riemannian symmetric spaces of an arbitrary rank and Heisenberg groups. The subject can be viewed as arising from three classical topics: Johna (TM)s support theorem, Schwartza (TM)s fundamental principle, and Delsartea (TM)s two-radii theorem. Very up-to-date, the book contains most of the significant recent results in this area with complete and detailed proofs. In order to make this book accessible to a wide audience, the authors provide an introductory part developing analysis on symmetric spaces without use of Lie theory. Challenging open problems are described and explained, and promising new research directions are indicated. Designed for both experts and beginners in the field, the book is rich in methods for a wide variety of problems in many areas of mathematics. Acquista Ora

I hope you find my poetry entertaining, as well as inspiring, as I share my joy, pain, fear, sorrow and faith in God.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Neugebauer, Robynne, PUBLISHER: Canadian Scholars Press, This volume examines racism within the process of criminal justice. In every society criminal justice plays a key role establishing social control and maintaining the hegemony of the dominant economic classes. The contributors to this anthology argue that the differential treatment of people of colour and First Nations peoples is due to systemic racism within all levels of the criminal justice system, which serves these dominant classes. Ideological and cultural changes are preconditions for the success of anti-racist policies and practices within the criminal justice system and within other state institutions. Recommendations for transformations in justice policy and practice are provided. Robynne Neugebauer is Assistant Professor in Sociology at York University. Her research and teaching focus on criminology, policing, inequality in criminal justice, and wife assault; racism; education; and aging. Her books include Seniors and Sexuality: Experiencing Intimacy in Later Life; Aging and Inequality: Cultural Constructions of Differences; Racism and Institutional Change: Readings in Anti-Racism in Criminal Justice, Education, Health and Social Services; and Police-Community Relations (forthcoming).
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hobbs, Will, PUBLISHER: HarperCollins, "Deep in trouble, Deep in the canyons" Fourteen-year-old Dylan Sands has come all the way from North Carolina to Big Bend National Park, on the Texas/Mexico border, to paddle the fabled Rio Grande. His partner in adventure is a local river rat, his cousin Rio. As the two are packing their boats for ten days in the canyons, six Black Hawk helicopters appear overhead and race across the river into Mexico. The army won't tell the boys what's happening, but they are given a weather advisory: A hurricane is approaching the Gulf of Mexico. Dylan and Rio have their hearts set on their trip and can't give it up. Rio believes that their chances of running into border troubles or a major storm are slim to none. By canoe and raft, Dylan and Rio venture into the most rugged and remote reaches of the U.S./Mexico border. "You may well not see another human being during the duration of your trip, "the guidebook tells them. They don't, until a man stumbles into camp with a seven-year-old boy. A storm is brewing as the man who calls himself Carlos begs for help... and the boy is trembling with fear.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ben-Zaken, Avner, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, Avner Ben-Zaken reconsiders the fundamental question of how early modern scientific thought traveled between Western and Eastern cultures in the age of the so-called Scientific Revolution. Through five meticulously researched case studies -- in which he explores how a single obscure object or text moved in the Eastern world -- Ben-Zaken reveals the intricate ways that scientific knowledge moved across cultures. With detective-like persistence, he traces the eastward circulation of post-Copernican cosmologies and scientific discoveries, showing how these ideas were translated, transformed, and adapted to local cultures. Never before has a student of scientific traffic in the Mediterranean taken such pains to see precisely which instruments, books, and ideas first appeared where, in whose hands, by what means, and with what implications. In doing so, Ben-Zaken challenges accepted views of Western primacy in this fruitful exchange. He shows not only how Islamic cultures benefited from European scientific knowledge but also how Eastern understanding of classical Greek texts informed developments in the West. Ben-Zaken's mastery of different cultures and languages uniquely positions him to tell this intriguing story. His findings reshape our understanding of scientific discourse in this critical period and contribute to the growing field of cross-cultural Christian-Muslim studies.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Laale, Hans Willer, PUBLISHER: WestBow Press, Ephesus (Ephesos): An Abbreviated History from Androclus to Constantine XI. The reader is provided with what is known about the city of Ephesus, its people, and its place within the larger framework of ancient and medieval Mediterranean history. Beginning with the Ionian migration and the founding of Ephesus on the west coast of Asia Minor around B.C., the story moves quickly through periods when the city was ruled successively by local tyrants, Persian kings and satraps, Athenian and Spartan generals, Antigonid, Ptolemaic and Seleucid kings, Roman emperors and Pergamene dynasts, Byzantine emperors and Greek patriarchs, Arab caliphs, Latin popes and crusaders, Seljuk and Beylik Turks, Mongols, and ending with the conquest by the Ottoman Turks in A.D. . Throughout emphasis has been placed on the lives of Ephesian individuals and groups, and their respective contributions to architecture, law, literature, painting, medicine, philosophy, poetry, politics, religion and sculpture, often at times characterized by political and territorial power struggles and ecclesiastical doctrinal controversies and disagreements. The history of Ephesus is of ongoing interest to historians, archaeologists and students of classical literature, science, religion and philosophy, as well as to amateurs and laymen who are keenly interested in Mediterranian antiquity. It is documented with excerpts, biographical references, explanatory footnotes and a few illustrations.
