There is growing interest among scholars and practitioners in how
the arts can help rebuild post-conflict societies. This edited
collection explores a range of musical practices for social and
political peace. By presenting case studies in each chapter, the
aim is to engage with musicality in relation to time, space,
peace-building, healing, and reconciliation. Emerging scholars'
work on Latin America, especially Colombia, and on the African
Great Lakes region, including Zimbabwe, Rwanda and Kenya, is
brought together with the purpose of reflecting critically on
'music for peace-building' initiatives. Each author considers how
legacies of violence are addressed and sometimes overcome; lyrics
are examined as a source of insights. These practical "music for
peace-building" initiatives include NGO work with youth hip-hop,
music for peace, work in education on memory, as well as popular
culture and shared rituals. Special attention is paid to historical
and contextual settings, to the temporal and spatial dimension of
musicality and to youth and gender in peace-building through music.

indicators indispensable to a healthy, lasting marriage,
including:
- Would you marry you?
- Are you spiritually connected?
- Are you better together than apart?
- Have you considered what God has to say?
Complete with fun and endearing proposal tips as well as ways to
gently ask your significant other for more time, "Before You Get
Engaged" will equip you with the insight, confidence, and peace to
make one of the biggest decisions of your life.
This volume presents a process for developing expert systems. As
the field of instructional technology matures it is becoming clear
that technological process, not technological devices, is the
single most important factor in designing effective instruction.
Computers as devices are helpful, but their primary advantage may
be the discipline placed on thinking and design processes by using
them. The process used when examining a problem determines the
quality of information entered into a program and the ultimate
effectiveness of the solution. The process in this volume is
intended for small-scale expert system solutions that contribute to
the solution of instructional problems. Hardware independent, the
volume focuses on narrowly defined examples intended for small
personal computer systems. Particular attention is paid to problems
associated with education and training.
"Building Expert Systems in Training and Education" has one
primary function: to help instructional designers derive the
components of a problem and enter it into an expert system shell.
It is totally process-oriented and focuses on the front-end
knowledge engineering process. It provides a repertoire of
practical tools and processes that can be used to select, define,
and structure problems. Three types of examples are used to
illustrate three ways to use expert systems: for instructional
support, for instructional decision making, and for an
instructional job aid. Each chapter is followed by a list of
learning activities to facilitate practice and consolidation. When
appropriate, answers or examples to the learning activities is
given. This is a practical guide for instructional technology
educators and students, and business and industrial training
professionals.
From novelists to political cartoonists, artists have long brought
a unique perspective to important public discussions of social and
political issues. Yet, fury and debate over the role of the artist
has resulted in blacklisting, banning, and symbolically burning
artists who use their work as a means of social critique and social
change. The Art of Social Critique makes a case for the complexity
of artistic ways of "seeing" social life - observing, analyzing and
portraying society - by examining the interdisciplinary nature of
imagination. The authors cover a range of novelists, painters,
musicians, cartoonists, poets and others whose explorations of the
human condition directly connect to complex methods of social
inquiry often associated with other disciplines. Specific parallels
are drawn between the social sciences and the theories, lenses, and
aesthetics that allow these artists to gain a clearer view of
social life. Artistic techniques, such as metaphor, caricature, and
irony, are examined as unique methods of social inquiry, while the
novelist and poet become ethnographers of social life. By treading
the common ground between the arts, humanities and social sciences,
The Art of Social Critique raises a number of important questions
about the role of art in society: What are the relationships
between imagination, creativity, perspective, experimentation and
unveiling social life? How does the artistic perspective engage in
representation, give voice, or unveil? How have artists examined
the relationship between the individual and society, social
structures, or social norms that we take for granted? Each chapter
explores how the "artistic eye," as a form of qualitative social
inquiry, helps both the artist and the audience arrive at a more
complex understanding of society. From art as a social movement to
the important relationship between art and collective memory, The
Art of Social Critique covers imagination as an interdisciplinary
concept that draws on the sociological, psychological, historical,
and political. Together these essays reveal art as more than mere
entertainment or amusement - it is an interdisciplinary way of
knowing our social world.
Do memory abilities decline with aging? Are changes in memory
universal or differential? Do they occur similarly or differently
for all types of memory and to all aging persons? These are some of
the principal questions explored in the Victoria Longitudinal Study
and presented in this volume. Although there is a large amount of
research comparing the memory performance of younger and older
adults, few studies have followed the same older adults over time.
Only through the use of such longitudinal methods can one directly
observe changes in memory functioning with aging. This monograph
reports recent longitudinal data following the same individuals
over a six-year period. The authors consider a variety of
theoretical and methodological issues related to memory and aging.
In addition, they report analyses of data to examine questions such
as: are average changes in performance associated with age, cohort,
or both? are there substantial individual differences in memory
change in later life or are people changing in similar fashion?;
and what component processes predict changes in complex memory
performance in adulthood?
Treating such issues as animal sex, species politics,
environmental justice, lesbian space and "gay" ghettos, AIDS
literatures, and queer nationalities, this lively collection asks
important questions at the intersections of sexuality and
environmental studies. Contributors from a wide range of
disciplines present a focused engagement with the critical,
philosophical, and political dimensions of sex and nature. These
discussions are particularly relevant to current debates in many
disciplines, including environmental studies, queer theory,
critical race theory, philosophy, literary criticism, and politics.
As a whole, Queer Ecologies stands as a powerful corrective to
views that equate "natural" with "straight" while "queer" is held
to be against nature.
How does our faith affect how we think about and respond to climate
change? Climate Politics and the Power of Religion is an edited
collection that explores the diverse ways that religion shapes
climate politics at the local, national, and international levels.
Drawing on case studies from across the globe, it stands at the
intersection of religious studies, environment policy, and global
politics. From small island nations confronting sea-level rise and
intensifying tropical storms to high-elevation communities in the
Andes and Himalayas wrestling with accelerating glacial melt, there
is tremendous variation in the ways that societies draw on religion
to understand and contend with climate change. Climate Politics and
the Power of Religion offers 10 timely case studies that
demonstrate how different communities render climate change within
their own moral vocabularies and how such moral claims find
purchase in activism and public debates about climate policy.
Whether it be Hindutva policymakers in India, curanderos in Peru,
or working-class people's concerns about the transgressions of
petroleum extraction in Trinidad—religion affects how they all
are making sense of and responding to this escalating global
catastrophe.

An engagement with the huge growth in neomedievalism forms the core
of this volume, with other essays testing its conclusions. The
focus on neomedievalism at the 2007 International Conference on
Medievalism, in ever more sessions at the annual International
Congress on Medieval Studies, and by many recent or forthcoming
publications has left little doubtof the importance of this new,
provocative area of study. In response to a seminal essay defining
medievalism in relationship to neomedievalism [published in volume
18 of this journal], this book begins with seven essays
definingneomedievalism in relationship to medievalism. Their
positions are then tested by five articles, whose subjects range
from modern American manifestations of Byzantine art, to the
Vietnam War as refracted through non-heterosexual implications in
the 1976 movie Robin and Marian, and versions of abjection in
recent Beowulf films. Theory and practice are thus juxtaposed in a
volume that is certain to fuel a central debate in not one but two
of the fastest growing areas of academia. Contributors: Amy S.
