This volume inscribes an innovative domain of inquiry, bringing
museum and heritage studies to bear on questions of transitional
justice, memory and post-conflict reconciliation. As practitioners,
artists, curators, activists and academics, the contributors
explore the challenges of bearing witness to past conflicts.
The analysis ofwhat might be called "dynamic nonlinearity" in time
series has its roots in the pioneering work ofBrillinger (1965) -
who first pointed out how the bispectrum and higher order
polyspectra could, in principle, be used to test for nonlinear
serial dependence - and in Subba Rao and Gabr (1980) and Hinich
(1982) who each showed how Brillinger's insight could be translated
into a statistical test. Hinich's test, because ittakes advantage
ofthe large sample statisticalpropertiesofthe bispectral estimates
became the first usable statistical test for nonlinear serial
dependence. We are forever grateful to Mel Hinich for getting us
involved at that time in this fascinating and fruitful endeavor.
With help from Mel (sometimes as amentor, sometimes as
acollaborator) we developed and applied this bispectral test in the
ensuing period. The first application ofthe test was to daily stock
returns {Hinich and Patterson (1982, 1985)} yielding the important
discovery of substantial nonlinear serial dependence in returns,
over and above the weak linear serial dependence that had been
previously observed. The original manuscript met with resistance
from finance journals, no doubt because finance academics were
reluctant to recognize the importance of distinguishing between
serial correlation and nonlinear serial dependence. In Ashley,
Patterson and Hinich (1986) we examined the power and sizeofthe
test in finite samples.
The area of spinal cord plasticity has become a very actively
researched field. The spinal cord has long been known to organize
reflex patterns and serve as the major transmission pathway for
sensory and motor nerve impulses. However, the role of the spinal
cord in information processing and in experience driven alterations
is generally not recognized. With recent advances in neural
recording techniques, behavioral technologies and neural tracing
and imaging methods has come the ability to better assess the role
of the spinal cord in behavioral control and alteration. The
discoveries in recent years have been revolutionary. Alterations
due to nociceptive inputs, simple learning paradigms and repetitive
inputs have now been documented and their mechanisms are being
elucidated. These findings have important clinical implications.
The development of pathological pain after a spinal cord injury
likely depends on the sensitization of neurons within the spinal
cord. The capacity of the spinal cord to change as a function of
experience, and adapt to new environmental relations, also affects
the recovery locomotive function after a spinal cord injury.
Mechanisms within the spinal cord can support stepping and the
capacity for this behavior depends on behavioral training. By
taking advantage of the plasticity inherent within the spinal cord,
rehabilitative procedures may foster the recovery of function.
The history of United Nations peacekeeping is largely one of
failure. This book puts a case for augmenting "ad hoc" peacekeepers
with competent contract labour; and within the constraints of a new
legal regime, supporting future operations with well-trained
contractors who might subdue by force those who inflict gross human
rights abuses on others.
Why do thousands of Mormons devote their summer vacations to
following the Mormon Trail? Why does the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Day Saints spend millions of dollars to build monuments
and Visitor Centers that believers can visit to experience the
history of their nineteenth-century predecessors who fled westward
in search of their promised land? Why do so many Mormon teenagers
dress up in Little-House-on-the-Prairie-style garb and push
handcarts over the highest local hills they can find? And what
exactly is a "traveling Zion"? In Pioneers in the Attic, Sara
Patterson analyzes how and why Mormons are engaging their
nineteenth-century past in the modern era, arguing that as the LDS
community globalized in the late twentieth and early twenty-first
centuries, its relationship to space was transformed. Following
their exodus to Utah, nineteenth-century Mormons believed that they
must gather together in Salt Lake Zion - their new center place.
They believed that Zion was a place you could point to on a map, a
place you should dwell in to live a righteous life. Later Mormons
had to reinterpret these central theological principles as their
community spread around the globe, but to say that they simply
spiritualized concepts that had once been understood literally is
only one piece of the puzzle. Contemporary Mormons still want to
touch and to feel these principles, so they mark and claim the
landscapes of the American West with versions of their history
carved in stone. They develop rituals that allow them not only to
learn the history of the nineteenth-century journey west, but to
engage it with all of their senses. Pioneers in the Attic reveals
how modern-day Mormons have created a sense of community and felt
religion through the memorialization of early Mormon pioneers of
the American West, immortalizing a narrative of shared identity
through an emphasis on place and collective memory.

Composer Nakayama Shimpei (1887-1952) wrote more than 300 popular
songs in his lifetime. Most are still well known and recorded
regularly. An entrepreneur, he found ways to create popular songs
that powered Japan's nascent recording industry in the 1920s and
1930s. An artist, his combination of Japanese and Western musical
styles and tropes appealed to Japanese sentiments in a way that not
only reflected the historical and social context, but anticipated
and explained those historical changes to his listeners. This book
seeks to apply contextual analysis of Nakayama's popular songs to
the events that occurred in the context of Japan's development of a
record industry and popular music market between 1887 and 1952. The
book evaluates Nakayama's positions within the world of musicians,
and as a bridge between intellectuals and pure artists, on the one
hand, and the Japanese people on the other to understand how
popular songs can enrich and deepen our understanding of the
history of political and industrial development in modern Japan.
The book concludes that Nakayama's uncanny ability to make
listening to Western music a comfortable experience for Japanese by
adding elements from Japanese musical styles allowed him to be
successful financially, and to hold respect within the artistic
community as well. His skill in creating songs that spoke to large
groups of people, successfully marketing those songs through an
understanding of how music would sound on record, and careful
communication with his audiences to understand their interests and
lives made him the most popular composer of his time, and a
powerful asset for Japan Victor, Inc., his record company. The
ultimate goal of the book is to show how popular songs can be
utilized as primary sources to help deepen our understanding of
historical contexts.
Marvell: The Writer in Public Life is substantially revised from
Professor Patterson's well received 1978 study, including a new
introduction and new chapter on Marvell and secret history. This
important study provides an up to date perspective on a writer
still thought of merely as the author of lyric and pastoral poems.
It looks at both Marvell's political poetry and his often neglected
political prose, revealing Marvell's life long commitment to
writing about the values and standards of public life and follows
his often dangerous writerly activities on behalf of freedom of
conscience and constitutional government.
"It pulls no punches, shuns no controversial topic, and glosses
over no issues or problems that beset America's law enforcement
community in our day. For those who may be prone to suspect the
motives of these self-confessed lovers of cops and warriors, the
title of this book'should be sufficient to allay such concerns."
John C. Hall, Supervisory Special Agent, FBI (Retd.), from the
Foreword Virtuous Policing: Bridging America's Gulf Between Police
and Populace is a vigorous assessment and commentary on
governmental uses of force, whether by civilian law enforcement
officers in the United States or by military service members
overseas. In the wake of recent controversies such as events in
Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, Maryland, this book presents
strategies to ease rising tensions in citizen law enforcement
relations. The book particularly addresses the growing division
between members of the police and citizenry due to a number of
factors, including the effects of some press members who are more
interested in cultivating sensational stories of "rogue" cops than
in discovering and disseminating facts. Also, with the abundance of
information true and false available on the Internet and the
increasing utilization of social media, technology contributes to
the rising friction between citizens and police. Rather than make
unrealistic arguments for curtailing media and technology, it
suggests solutions that are reasonable, practical, and, most
importantly, peaceful. The authors examine law enforcement
policies, procedures, and leadership methods in relation to four
cardinal virtues: self-control, justice, competency, and moral
courage. Case studies illustrate ethical, legal, psychological, and
tactical issues that law enforcement and the military have to
address in establishing and maintaining good and peaceable
governance. With an eye toward minimizing or avoiding future
violent confrontations between citizens and those
This collection of selected writings represents the best of recent
critical work on Milton. The essays cover all stages of his career,
from the early poems through to the later poems of the Restoration
period, especially Paradise Lost. Professor Patterson includes
British and American critics such as Michael Wilding, Victoria
Kahn, James Grantham Turner and Mary Ann Radzinowicz and guides the
reader through the varied ways Milton's achievement has been
explored and debated by modern criticism.

In Religion in the Public Square, James M. Patterson considers
religious leaders who popularized theology through media campaigns
designed to persuade the public. Ven. Fulton J. Sheen, Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., and Rev. Jerry Falwell differed profoundly on
issues of theology and politics, but they shared an approach to
public ministry that aimed directly at changing how Americans
understood the nature and purpose of their country. From the 1930s
through the 1950s, Sheen was an early adopter of paperbacks, radio,
and television to condemn totalitarian ideologies and to defend
American Catholicism against Protestant accusations of divided
loyalty. During the 1950s and 1960s, King staged demonstrations and
boycotts that drew the mass media to him. The attention provided
him the platform to preach Christian love as a political foundation
in direct opposition to white supremacy. Falwell started his own
church, which he developed into a mass media empire. He then
leveraged it during the late 1970s through the 1980s to influence
the Republican Party by exhorting his audience to not only ally
with religious conservatives around issues of abortion and the
traditional family but also to vote accordingly. Sheen, King, and
Falwell were so successful in popularizing their theological ideas
that they won prestigious awards, had access to presidents, and
witnessed the results of their labors. However, Patterson argues
that Falwell's efforts broke with the longstanding refusal of
religious public figures to participate directly in partisan
affairs and thereby catalyzed the process of politicizing religion
that undermined the Judeo-Christian consensus that formed the
foundation of American politics.

Annabel M. Patterson offers here a reassessment of the place of
Hermogenes, a Greek rhetorician of the second century A.D., in
literary history. She shows that the literary men of the European
Renaissance-scholars, critics, and poets-found Hermogenes'
Concerning Ideas both important and extremely useful, and she finds
that they vigorously applied his concepts to create "a lovely
conformitie." The author first gives the history of this treatise
on style and a detailed critical analysis of the Seven Ideas or
categories of style. The book then demonstrates genre by genre how
knowledge of the Seven Ideas can improve one's understanding of
poetic development, especially in England, and reveals how the
Ideas operate in the works of Tasso, Donne, Sidney, Shakespeare,
Marvell, Jonson, Spenser, Milton , and many other poets and
critics. Originally published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University

The Science and Clinical Application of Manual Therapy is a
multi-disciplinary, international reference book based on work by
the top basic science researchers and clinical researchers in the
area of Manual Therapy and Manual Medicine (MT/MM). The first book
to bring together research on the benefits of MT/MM beyond the
known effects on musculoskeletal disorders, the volume presents
evidence of the benefit of MT/MM in treating systemic disorders.
This book makes a powerful case for how MT/MM affects the central
nervous system and the autonomic effector systems (the circulatory,
respiratory, gastrointestinal systems, and pelvic organs) which
impact on a person's health. The volume covers how MT/MM works and
details the conditions - such as chronic skeletal and visceral pain
diseases, asthma, pneumonia, and cardiovascular deregulation - that
can benefit from it. Longstanding theoretical models of MT/MM
mechanisms are critically assessed in the light of current
understanding of physiological and neurophysiological function, and
the influences of psychological and cortical processes on the
effects of MT/MM are explored. The book, which is divided into four
main sections, will appeal to osteopathic physicians, osteopaths,
chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists, as well
as all body workers/health practitioners who use their hands in
health care. It will be of particular value to all practitioners
involved in treatment of chronic pain disorders as well as those
involved in basic and clinical research in this field. Authored by
the leading multidisciplinary basic science and clinical
researchers from throughout the world Describes research confirming
benefit of MT for musculoskeletal disorders (which helps provide a
rational for greater utilization of manual therapy and
reimbursement for this healthcare service) Presents the latest
findings on the beneficial effect of MT on systemic disorders
including asthma, pneumonia, otitis media, heart rate dysfunction
and GI disturbance Critically assesses longstanding theoretical
models of MT/MM mechanisms with respect to the current
understanding of physiological and neurophysiological function
Explores the influences of psychological and cortical processes on
the effects of MT/MM, including the effect of placebo Uniquely
presents research findings from all the manual therapy professions
and scientists making the case for the benefits of MT The symposium
from which the book was derived was supported by the NIH National
Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine
