"Before That's the Joint I spent countless hours making
photo-copies of essays and articles on hip hop for my students.
When That's the Joint dropped it changed everything. It took hip
hop studies to the next logical level and, hopefully, with the
second edition Forman and Neal will take hip hop studies to an even
higher level. That's the Joint , indeed, it is the sure shot " --
Reiland Rabaka, Department of Ethnic Studies, University of
Colorado, Boulder, USA "That's the Joint stands as the seminal Hip
Hop studies volume. It is comprehensive in scope, incorporating
works from the leading scholars, journalists and practitioners in
the genre. Moreover, it treats the subject in a rigorous academic
manner, while making the readings accessible to a broader
audience." -- Melina Abdullah, California State University, Los

This book wasn't written for gender or race, but for anyone that
feels he or she is incarcerated and sees no way out. When I looked
at all angles and seen no open doors, no gaps, and the odds was too
much against me, I looked deep within my self and was introduce to
my inner spirit that was just waiting to take control. Anger was
put on the side, patience and planning was the key. I had to clear
my mind of negative thoughts and separate myself from negative
people. Her battle of defeat was yet to be won. I hope this book
will encourage someone else that there's hope, if you are willing
to apply it and negative thoughts have no place in the courtroom.

readers will find this systematic approach invaluable when placing
aviation within the wider tourism context, drawing upon the
disciplines of economics and marketing." Brian King, Professor of
Tourism and Associate Dean, School of Hotel and Tourism Management,
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong "The remarkable
growth in international tourism over the last century has been
directly influenced by technological, and operational innovations
in the airline sector which continue to define the nature, scale
and direction of tourist flows and consequential tourism
development. Key factors in this relationship between tourism and
the airline sector are marketing and economics, both of which are
fundamental to the success of tourism in general and airlines in
particular, not least given the increasing significance of low-cost
airline operations. Hence, uniquely drawing together these three
themes, this book provides a valuable introduction to the marketing

operational issues, as well as the most recent developments and
emerging trends are dealt with in a concise yet clear and rational
way. Summaries, questions and topics for discussion in each chapter

with his cases adds valuable insights in the ongoing development
and institutionalization of CSR in nowadays business." Wim J.L.
