In her debut poetry collection, Jasmine Elizabeth Smith takes
inspiration from Oklahoma Black history. In the wake of the Tulsa
Race Massacre of 1921, Jim Waters makes the difficult decision to
leave behind his lover, Beatrice Vernadene Chapel, who as a Black
woman must navigate the dangerous climate that produced the Jim
Crow South and Red Summer. As Beatrice and Jim write letters to one
another and hold imagined conversations with blues musicians Ida B.
Cox, Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, Ethel Waters, and the ghosts
of Greenwood, the couple interrogates themes of blues epistemology,
Black feminism, fraught attachments, and the way in which Black
Americans have often changed their geographical regions with the
hope of improving their conditions. The poetry collection South
Flight is a eulogy, a blues, an unabashed love letter, and ragtime
to the history of resistance, migration, and community in Black
Oklahoma.
Guidebook to a principal north-south long-distance walking route
through eastern France, traversing the Vosges and the Haut-Jura
plateau along the GR5/GR53. The 687km (427-mile) waymarked path
traverses the entire length of the Vosges, and then climbs up onto
the plateau of the Haut-Jura before dropping down to Nyon on the
shores of Lake Geneva. The GR5 is one of the great walking routes
across Europe, crossing the continent from the Dutch coast to the
Mediterranean, and the route described here is the central section
(518km) from Schirmeck down to Lake Geneva. In addition, the GR53
in the Northern Vosges from Wissembourg to Schirmeck (169km) is
described as an offshoot of the GR5 that allows walkers to complete
the entire chain of the Vosges. The route is presented in 11
chapters, which in turn are broken into short sections of a few
hours each, allowing for a flexible itinerary and easy route
planning. There are also suggestions for shorter circular routes
making use of sections of the GR53/GR5, as well as an overview of
other long-distance routes in the region. A summary of local
history, plants and wildlife and delicacies can be found in the
introduction and appendices offer details of facilities on route
and full accommodation listings. Two further Cicerone guidebooks
cover the remaining sections of the GR5; 'The GR5 Trail - Benelux
and Lorraine', and 'The GR5 Trail' which covers the route from Lac
Leman to the Mediterranean.
Nothing rings truer to those teaching political science research
methods: students hate taking this course. Tackle the challenge and
turn the standard research methods teaching model on its head with
Political Science Research in Practice. Akan Malici and Elizabeth
S. Smith engage students first with pressing political questions
and then demonstrate how a researcher has gone about answering
them, walking them through real political science research that
contributors have conducted. Through the exemplary use of a
comparative case study, field research, interviews, textual and
interpretive research, statistical research, survey research,
public policy and program evaluation, content analysis, and field
experiments, each chapter introduces students to a method of
empirical inquiry through a specific topic that will spark their
interest and curiosity. Each chapter shows the process of
developing a research question, how and why a particular method was
used, and the rewards and challenges discovered along the way.
Students can better appreciate why we need a science of
politics-why methods matter-with these first-hand, issue-based
discussions. The second edition now includes: Two completely new
chapters on field experiments and a chapter on the
textual/interpretative method. New topics, ranging from the Arab
Spring to political torture to politically sensitive research in
China to social networking and voter turnout. Revised and updated
"Exercises and Discussion Questions" sections. Revised and updated
"Interested to Know More" and "Recommended Resources" sections.
This vital resource offers an intervention designed to help divert
young women from engaging in girl gang culture by providing them
with the opportunities to explore alternative options for
themselves that ensure a sense of self-worth and belonging in a
non-aggressive culture where crime in not integral to their
self-definition. This unique resource will give your school access
to tools and evidence-based solutions that educate students about
the risks of gang culture and provide them with strategies to
rationalise and reject anti-social and offending behaviours. This
essential resource will enable you to: identify the existence of
both girl and boy gangs in school; develop whole school curriculum
offering effective teaching and learning about gang issues; adopt a
holistic approach to tackling gang culture including parents,
community groups and local agencies; secure help for the most
vulnerable students; and, prepare staff to deal with the
difficulties that arise in tackling these issues.

Before they became two of America's most iconic pop artists, Andy
Warhol and Robert Indiana were young aspiring creatives, living in
New York. There, they met and befriended William John Kennedy, who
would take some of the first photographs of these artists in their
career. Many photographers worked with Andy Warhol, but few so
early on in his career or in a such a uniquely collaborative
fashion. After establishing a friendship with Robert Indiana and
taking some of the first, important close-up images of him in his
studio, Kennedy went on to work in a similarly creative way with
Warhol. These striking images of the young Warhol and Indiana were
lost for nearly 50 years before being rediscovered. They were
immediately recognised as important documents by the Warhol Museum
and by Robert Indiana, and presented in the Before they were Famous
exhibition, which travelled to London and New York. The story of
the re-discovery of these photographs was made into an acclaimed
documentary in 2010 - Full Circle: Before They Were Famous,
Documentary on William John Kennedy. William John Kennedy: The Lost
Archive: Photographs of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana will be the
first of William John Kennedy's books devoted solely to the time he
spent with Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. The book features
pictures of both artists as well as images of Taylor Mead,
UltraViolet and other members of Warhol's circle.
