The historical significance of music-makers, music scenes, and
music genres has long been mediated through academic and popular
press publications such as magazines, films, and television
documentaries. Media Narratives in Popular Music examines these
various publications and questions how and why they are
constructed. It considers the typically linear narratives that are
based on simplifications, exaggerations, and omissions and the
histories they construct - an approach that leads to totalizing
“official” histories that reduce otherwise messy narratives to
one-dimensional interpretations of a heroic and celebratory nature.
This book questions the basis on which these mediated histories are
constructed, highlights other, hidden, histories that have
otherwise been neglected, and explores a range of topics including
consumerism, the production pressure behind documentaries, punk
fanzines, Rolling Stones covers, and more.

and workplace violence, specifically sexual misconduct, and offers
best practices for organizations seeking to prevent and respond to
sexual misconduct. Based on an idea conceived at a conference for
the International Coalition of Sexual Harassment, this book offers
up-to-date information about sexual harassment and other forms of
sexual misconduct in academic and workplace settings, as well as
legal and guidance updates and best practices that discuss
prevention methods. The chapters are written by noted attorneys,
campus and workplace consultants, and other scholars who have
assisted in collecting incident data and have thought leadership to
offer. Chapters address how workplaces and campuses respond to
forms of violence as well as the impact of sexual harassment on
individuals, bystanders, and organizations. Readers will learn
about topics such as the "Not Alone" initiative-a result of
President Obama's Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual
Assault-and the history of Titles VII and IX legislation the United
States. The editors have compiled resources that address the
cultural and social views of sexual harassment, the history of
sexual misconduct on campuses and in organizations, and sample
organizations at the national level that deal with prevention,
advocacy, and legal guidance for students and employees. Provides
an overview of current legislation surrounding sexual misconduct
Examines the impact of sexual misconduct on individuals,
bystanders, and organizations Offers recommendations for
investigating complaints of sexual harassment and other forms of
sexual misconduct in organizations and universities Presents
invaluable insights into cultural views regarding sexual harassment

This practical guide is a comprehensive reference of cases with FDG images obtained on dedicated PET tomographs and hybrid scintillation gamma cameras. Dr. Dominique Delbeke and her collegues at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, along with recognized international experts, provide the reader with in-depth coverage on all aspects of FDG imaging. Unique to this book is the up-to-date coverage on both the technical and clinical aspects of FDG imaging and its cases of those malignancies practitioners are likey to encounter in their daily practice. The text also presents normal and physiologic interpretation of FDG imaging, related pitfalls in imaging interpretation, and the role of FDG imaging in different types of body tumors. Enhanced with over 300 FDG images, this book will serve as an excellent stand-alone guide for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, oncologists, and residents in their practice of clinical PET.
Angola, slowly recovering from a twenty-seven year civil war, is
becoming a regional super-power in southern Africa. This rise can
be attributed to oil, diamonds, a battle-tested armed forces and a
political system that is dominated by one party - the Movimento
Popular de Libertacao de Angola (the Popular Movement for the
Liberation of Angola - MPLA). Problems remain to be solved. The
vast wealth is in the control of the elite while the vast majority
of the people live on less than two dollars per day. Corruption is
rife, the health and education system in shambles, landmines remain
a festering problem and the opposition is intimidated and split
into various factions. President Eduardo dos Santos, who has ruled
Angola for almost thirty-eight years, has opted not to run for
re-election in the August 2017 elections. Instead his hand-picked
successor Joao Lourenco was elected president. Interestingly, dos
Santos has not surrendered his presidency of the party. This third
edition of Historical Dictionary of Angola contains a chronology,
an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The
dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on
important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations,
religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for
students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about
Angola.
Indiana: An Interpretation is arguably the best single book about
Indiana. Originally published in 1947, John Bartlow Martin's work
sparked controversy in Indiana for challenging Hoosiers'
assumptions about their history and how they saw themselves and
their state. Although the book only covers the period from the
Civil War to just after World War II, Martin's interpretation of
the Hoosier character, thought, and way of living is still as
relevant today as when it was first written. A new afterword by
Martin biographer Ray E. Boomhower contextualizes the book for
today's readers and reveals why it has become a modern Indiana
classic.
A new perspective on the relationships among colleges,
universities, and the communities with which they are now
partnering. Colleges and universities have always had interesting
relationships with their external communities, whether they are
cities, towns, or something in between. In many cases, they are the
main economic driver for their regions-State College, Pennsylvania,
or Raleigh, North Carolina, for example-and in others, they exist
side by side with thriving industries. In The New American College
Town, James Martin, James E. Samels & Associates provide a
practical guide for planning a new kind of American college
town-one that moves beyond the nostalgia-tinged stereotype to
achieve collaborative objectives. What exactly is a college town in
America today? Examining the broad range of partnerships
transforming campuses and the communities around them, the book
opens by detailing twenty characteristics of new American college
towns. Subsequent chapters invite presidents, provosts, planners,
mayors, architects, and association directors to share their views
on how college town relationships are shaping new generations of
students and citizens. The book tackles urban and rural
institutions, as well as community colleges, and closes with
predictions about what college towns will look like in twenty-five
years. Contributors include presidents from Lehigh, Portland State,
New Jersey City, and Connecticut College, along with five college
town mayors and the current or former executive directors from the
International Town-Gown Association, the Association for the Study
of Higher Education, and others. The book also traces how town-gown
relations are expanding into innovative areas nationally and
internationally, moving beyond familiar student life programs and
services to hundred-million-dollar downtown developments. The first
comprehensive, single-volume resource designed for leaders on both
sides of these conversations, The New American College Town
includes action plans, lessons learned, and pitfalls to avoid in
developing transformative relationships between colleges and their
extended communities. Contributors: Robert C. Andringa, Aaron Aska,

This book reflects the heights of knowledge of ultrafast chemical
processes attained in these early years of the 21st century: the
latest research in femtosecond and picosecond molecular processes
in Chemistry and Biology, carried out around the world, is
described here in more than 110 articles. The results were
presented and discussed at the VIth International Conference on
Femtochemistry, in Paris, France, from July 6 to July 10, 2003. The
articles published here were reviewed by referees selected from
specialists in the Femtochemistry community, guaranteeing a
collective responsability for the quality of the research reported
in the next 564 pages. Femtochemistry is an ever-growing field,
where new research areas are constantly opening up, and one which
both stimulates and accompanies the development of ultrafast
technologies.
The increasing interest in femtobiology and chemistry at the
frontier with biology is an obvious indicator of the present impact
of life sciences in our society. New materials and reactions at
surfaces are also some of the relatively new topics that promise
rapid developments. New methodologies and technologies for probing
and following in real time molecular dynamical phenomena have
appeared within the last ten years or so. These methods, based on
multidimensional IR spectroscopies, ultrafast X-ray and electron
diffraction techniques, are well represented in this book. Of
ever-improving performance, they are now applied to the
characterization of structural dynamics of an increasing number of
chemical and biological systems.
This book reports the state of research in Femtochemistry and
Femtobiology presented at Paris, at the Maison de la Chimie, in
July 2003, representing the tenth anniversary of the conference.
* Overview of the most recent research on ultrafast events
* Application of new methodologies on chemical and biological
systems
* Contributions by key players in the field
