For introductory sophomore-level courses in Linear Algebra or

just teaching how to read a proof but also on how to write a proof.
The Anglo-Saxon period was crucial to the development of the
English landscape, but is rarely studied. The essays here provide
radical new interpretations of its development. Traditional opinion
has perceived the Anglo-Saxons as creating an entirely new
landscape from scratch in the fifth and sixth centuries AD, cutting
down woodland, and bringing with them the practice of open field
agriculture, and establishing villages. Whilst recent scholarship
has proved this simplistic picture wanting, it has also raised many
questions about the nature of landscape development at the time,
the changing nature of systems of land management, and strategies
for settlement. The papers here seek to shed new light on these
complex issues. Taking a variety of different approaches, and with
topics ranging from the impact of coppicing to medieval field
systems, from the representation of the landscape in manuscripts to
cereal production and the type of bread the population preferred,
they offer striking new approaches to the central issues of
landscape change across the seven centuries of Anglo-Saxon England,
a period surely foundational to the rural landscape of today.

Essays on the synthesis of the musical and literary arts in German
Romanticism. The interrelationship between music and literature
reached its zenith during the Romantic era, and nowhere was this
relationship more pronounced than in Germany. Many representatives
of literary and philosophical German Romanticism held music to be
the highest and most expressive, quintessentially Romantic art
form, able to convey what cannot be expressed in words: the
ineffable and metaphysical. The influence was reciprocal, with
literature providing a rich source of inspiration for German
composers of both instrumental and vocal music, giving rise to a
wealth of new forms and styles. The essays in this volume are
selected from papers presented at an international,
interdisciplinary conference held at University College Dublin in
December 2000, and include contributions from Germanists,
musicologists, comparatists, and performance artists. This
interdisciplinarity makes for informed and complementary approaches
and arguments. The essays cover not only the "Romantic" nineteenth
century (commencing with the early Romanticism of the Jena circle),
but also look ahead to the legacy, reception, and continuation of
German Romanticism in the modern and postmodern ages. Alongside new
readings of familiar and established writers and composers such as
Goethe, Hoffmann, Wagner, and Schubert, a case is made for other
figures such as Wackenroder, Novalis, Schlegel, Schumann, Brahms,
Liszt, and Berlioz, as well as less-known figures such as Ritter,
Schneider, and Termen, and for a reconsideration of questions of
categorization. The essays will appeal to readers with a wide
variety of academic, musical, and literary interests. Siobhan
Donovan is a Lecturer in the Department of German at University
College Dublin. Robin Elliott is Jean A. Chalmers Chair in Canadian
Music at the University of Toronto.

Using a combination of existing and original research, this new
text provides a simple explanation for the low turnout in American
elections: rather than creating an environment conducive to
participation, the institutional arrangements that govern structure
participation, representation, and actual governance in the United
States create an environment that discourages widespread
participation. To explore this argument, the author examines the
origins and development of registration laws, single-member
districts, such as the Electoral College, and the separation of
powers and the impact these institutions have on turnout levels in
American national elections. To this end, the text employs a
narrative discussing the impact of institutions on turnout in the
United States and across nations, supported with extensive yet
accessible data analysis. Hill not only provides students with
explanations for the low turnout characteristic of American
elections, but also demonstrates the powerful impact of
institutions on political life.

Powerful personal accounts from migrants crossing the US-Mexico
border provide an understanding of their experiences, as well as
the consequences of public policy Migrants, refugees, and deportees
live through harrowing situations, yet their personal stories are
often ignored. While politicians and commentators mischaracterize
and demonize, herald border crises, and speculate about who people
are and how they live, the actual memories of migrants are rarely
shared. In the tradition of oral storytelling, Voices of the Border
reproduces the stories migrants have told, offering a window onto
both individual and shared experiences of crossing the US-Mexico
border. This collection emerged from interviews conducted by the
Kino Border Initiative (KBI), a Jesuit organization that provides
humanitarian assistance and advocates for migrants. Based in
Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Sonora-twin border cities connected
by shared histories, geographies, economies, and cultures-the
editors and their colleagues documented migrants' testimonios to
amplify their voices. These personal narratives of lived
experiences, presented in the original Spanish with English
translations, bring us closer to these individuals' strength, love,
and courage in the face of hardship and injustice. Short
introductions written by migrant advocates, humanitarian workers,
religious leaders, and scholars provide additional context at the
beginning of each chapter. These powerful stories help readers
better understand migrants' experiences, as well as the
consequences of public policy for their community. Royalties from
the sale of the book go to the Kino Border Initiative.
Every political aspirant and activist knows the media are
important. But there is little agreement on how an increasingly
diversified media operate in post-authoritarian transitions and how
they might promote, or impede, the pathways to a sustainable
liberal democracy in the 21st century. This book examines the role
of the media during Indonesia's longest experiment with
democratisation. It addresses two important and related questions:
how is the media being transformed, both in terms of its structure
and content, by the changing political economy of Indonesia after
the fall of Suharto? And what is the potential impact of this media
in enabling or hampering the development of democracy in Indonesia?
The book explores the relation between the working of
democratisation, by examining the role of ethnic identity and
nationalism; increasingly cheaper and diversified means of media
production, challenging state monopolies of the media; the reality
of personalised and globalised media; and the challenging of the
connection between a free media and democracy by global capitalism
and corporate control of the media. The book argues that the
dominant forces transforming Indonesia today did not arise from the
singular point of Suharto's resignation, but from a set of factors
which are independent from, but linked to, Indonesia's internal
politics and which shape its cultural industries.

Our series Cancer Prevention - Cancer Control continues to address
the causes and prevention of cancer. In this volume, Hill, Elwood,
and English bring together a rich resource summarizing the state of
science underpinning the primary prevention of skin cancer. While
skin cancer causes an increasing burden, particularly in
populations of European origin, our understanding of the role of
sun exposure together with the genetic components of skin cancer
continues to grow. Given the emphasis on evidence-based medicine
and public health prevention efforts, it is noteworthy that,
although we can all access the same evidence base, countries around
the world have had remarkably different responses to the
application of this knowledge to prevent skin cancer. The
outstanding contribution of the Australian public health community
to the scientific understanding of skin cancer etiology and the
translation of this knowledge into national prevention efforts
uniquely positions the editors to compile this volume focused on
the primary prevention of skin cancer. In so doing they draw on an
international team of authors to present a "state of the science"
summary of skin cancer prevention and to identify those areas where
uncertainty remains. To achieve successful prevention of cancer we
must translate our scientific knowledge base into effective
prevention programs. This book offers the reader keen insights into
the depth of our understanding of etiologic pathways for skin
cancer. This etiologic science base is complemented by rigorous
prevention science placing emphasis on the social context for
effective and sustained prevention efforts.

Impassable roads, poorly maintained railways, bankrupt airlines,
congested cities, and inefficient ports -- how do these conditions
inhibit the economic progress of developing countries? With case
material from Latin and central America, Southeast Asia, and
Africa, author David Hilling illustrates the differences in
transportation strategies and structures between the developed and
developing worlds. In examining such projects as inland waterways,
ports, railways, roads, and air and urban transportation networks,
Hilling emphasizes the relative importance of timing, location,
technology, and decision making structures in each case, and then
illustrates how these factors contribute to the success or failure
of economic development strategies.
Carefully focused essays on major aspects of one of the most
significant German literary movements, the Storm and Stress. Sturm
und Drang refers to a set of values and a style of writing that
arose in Germany in the second half of the eighteenth century, a
particularly intense kind of pre-Romanticism that has often been
represented as marking the beginning of an independent modern
German culture. The circle of writers around the young Goethe,
including Herder, Lenz, Klinger, and later Schiller, felt
frustrated by the Enlightenment world of reason, balance, and
control, and turned instead to nature as the source of authentic
experience. Inspired by Rousseau and Herder, by Shakespeare, and by
folk culture, they rebelled against propriety and experimented with
new literary forms, their creative energy bursting through
conventions that seemed staid and artificial. The Sturm und Drang
has often been cited by those attempting to legitimate nationalism
and irrationalism, but scholars have more recently emphasized the
diversity of the movement and the links between it and the
Enlightenment. This volume of essays by leading scholars from the
UK, the US, and Germany illuminates the guiding ideas of the
movement, discussing its most important authors, texts, and ideas,
and taking account of the variety and complexity of the movement,
placing it more securely within late-eighteenth-century European
history. The main focus is on literature, and in particular on the
drama, which was of special importance to the Sturm und Drang.
However, the essays also outline the social conditions that gave
rise to the movement, and consideration is given to different
currents of ideas that underlie the movement, including areas of
thought and bodies of work that traditional approaches have tended
to marginalize. Contributors: Bruce Duncan, Howard Gaskill, Wulf
Koepke, Susanne Kord, Frank Lamport, Alan Leidner, Matthias
Luserke, Michael Patterson, Gerhard Sauder, Margaret Stoljar,

Department of German Studies at the University of Birmingham, UK.
