The Resistance Arteries is focused on the general issue of the
regulatory pathways in resistance arteries and comprises a
selection of timely overviews and up-to-date research studies
presented at the 4th International Symposium on Resistance
Arteries. These small vessels act as major controllers of blood
pressure, blood flow, and its distribution, and are involved in a
variety of pathological conditions. Vascular diameter is influenced
by a host of factors, some extrinsic to the smooth musc1e cells and
some intrinsic. One will find contributions in nearly all of the
five themes by which the book is organized; these address intra-and
extracellular interactions, and membrane receptor pathways using
vascular beds as diverse as the brain, he art, lung, kidney, and
skin. Basic physiological studies are inc1uded; these examine:
growth fac tors, vasoactive endothelium-derived nitric oxide, the
impacts of flow and stretch, myogenic mechanisms, calcium
regulation by protein kinase C, and signal transduction pathways of
the vascular smooth musc1e cell membrane receptors. Not only are
tissues from appropriate animal models exploited in most of these
reports, but many reflect the current increase in the use of human
tissue to elucidate vascular alterations of function and morphology
in hypertension, atherosclerosis, and ischemia. Noteworthy among
the many techniques used are: membrane permeabilization with
toxins, fura-2 for calcium determination, single cell
electrophysiology, and the application of confocal microscopy to
isolated, living vessels."

This second volume of Music in Black American Life offers research
and analysis that originally appeared in the journals American
Music and Black Music Research Journal, and in two book series
published by the University of Illinois Press: Music in American
Life, and African American Music in Global Perspective. In this
collection, a group of predominately Black scholars explores a
variety of topics with works that pioneered new methodologies and
modes of inquiry for hearing and studying Black music. These
extracts and articles examine the World War II jazz scene; look at
female artists like gospel star Shirley Caesar and jazz
musician-arranger Melba Liston; illuminate the South Bronx milieu
that folded many forms of black expressive culture into rap; and
explain Hamilton's massive success as part of the "tanning" of
American culture that began when Black music entered the
mainstream. Part sourcebook and part survey of historic music
scholarship, Music in Black American Life, 1945-2020 collects
groundbreaking work that redefines our view of Black music and its
place in American music history. Contributors: Nelson George, Wayne
Everett Goins, Claudrena N. Harold, Eileen M. Hayes, Loren
Kajikawa, Robin D. G. Kelley, Tammy L. Kernodle, Cheryl L. Keyes,

"City Kid is perhaps one of the seven greatest books ever written.
It has the realness of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the warmth
of The Color Purple, and the page count of Tuesdays with Morrie.
It's a must read."-Chris Rock From Nelson George, supervising
producer and writer of the hit Netflix series, "The Get Down, an
affecting memoir of his coming of age. Nelson George was the nerd
of his ghetto neighborhood; the kid who devoured Captain America
comics, Ernest Hemingway novels, and album liner notes. City Kid
describes how George evolved into an award-winning journalist and
filmmaker, becoming a key figure in framing hip hop for the rest of
us. The story begins with a fractured family life-an absent father,
a struggling single mother, and a sister who falls victim to the
streets-but ends in triumph all around. George overcomes both his
own nerdiness, as well as the odds against him, to become a
godfather of the hip hop movement-he was there at the beginning,
and in City Kid he tells us what it was really like. Writing with
emotion, but without false sentiment, George creates an insightful
and inspirational portrait of an emerging success, as well as the
triumphant rise of hip hop culture and black artists in the 80s and
90s.
