Kendrick Lamar has established himself at the forefront of
contemporary hip-hop culture. Artistically adventurous and socially
conscious, he has been unapologetic in using his art form, rap
music, to address issues affecting black lives while also exploring
subjects fundamental to the human experience, such as religious
belief. This book is the first to provide an interdisciplinary
academic analysis of the impact of Lamar's corpus. In doing so, it
highlights how Lamar's music reflects current tensions that are
keenly felt when dealing with the subjects of race, religion and
politics. Starting with Section 80 and ending with DAMN., this book
deals with each of Lamar's four major projects in turn. A panel of
academics, journalists and hip-hop practitioners show how religion,
in particular black spiritualties, take a front-and-center role in
his work. They also observe that his astute and biting thoughts on
race and culture may come from an African American perspective, but
many find something familiar in Lamar's lyrical testimony across
great chasms of social and geographical difference. This
sophisticated exploration of one of popular culture's emerging
icons reveals a complex and multi faceted engagement with religion,
faith, race, art and culture. As such, it will be vital reading for
anyone working in religious, African American and hip-hop studies,
as well as scholars of music, media and popular culture.
Lyric poetry has long been considered an art form of timelessness,
but Romantic poets became fascinated by one time above all others:
evening, the threshold between day and night. Christopher R. Miller
investigates the cultural background of this development. The
tradition of evening poetry runs from the idyllic settings of
Virgil to the urban twilights of T. S. Eliot, and flourished in the
works of Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley and Keats. In fresh
readings of familiar Romantic poems, Miller shows how evening
settings enabled poets to represent the passage of time and to
associate it with subtle movements of thought and perception. This
leads to new ways of reading canonical works, and of thinking about
the kinds of themes the lyric can express.

Emphasizing on the one hand the reconstruction of the material
culture of specific residences, and on the other, the way in which
particular domestic objects reflect, shape, and mediate family
values and relationships within the home, this volume offers a
distinct contribution to research on the early modern Italian
domestic interior. Though the essays mainly take an art historical
approach, the book is interdisciplinary in that it considers the
social implications of domestic objects for family members of
different genders, age, and rank, as well as for visitors to the
home. By adopting a broad chronological framework that encompasses
both Renaissance and Baroque Italy, and by expanding the regional
scope beyond Florence and Venice to include domestic interiors from
less studied centers such as Urbino, Ferrara, and Bologna, this
collection offers genuinely new perspectives on the home in early
modern Italy.
Religion and Hip Hop brings together the category of religion, Hip
Hop cultural modalities and the demographic of youth. Bringing
postmodern theory and critical approaches in the study of religion
to bear on Hip Hop cultural practices, this book examines how
scholars in religious and theological studies have deployed and
approached religion when analyzing Hip Hop data. Using existing
empirical studies on youth and religion to the cultural criticism
of the Humanities, Religion and Hip Hop argues that common among
existing scholarship is a thin interrogation of the category of
religion. As such, Miller calls for a redescription of religion in
popular cultural analysis - a challenge she further explores and
advances through various materialist engagements. Going beyond the
traditional and more common approach of analyzing rap lyrics, from
film, dance, to virtual reality, Religion and Hip Hop takes a fresh
approach to exploring the paranoid posture of the religious in
popular cultural forms, by going beyond what "is" religious about
Hip Hop culture. Rather, Miller explores what rhetorical uses of
religion in Hip Hop culture accomplish for various and often
competing social and cultural interests.
Rebecca Dickinson's powerful voice, captured through excerpts from
the pages of her journal, allows colonial and revolutionary-era New
England to come alive. Dickinson's life illustrates the dilemmas
faced by many Americans in the decades before, during, and after
the American Revolution, as well as the paradoxes presented by an
unmarried woman who earned her own living and made her own way in
the small town where she was born. "Rebecca Dickinson: Independence
for a New England Woman," uses Dickinson's world as a lens to
introduce readers to the everyday experience of living in the
colonial era and the social, cultural, and economic challenges
faced in the transformative decades surrounding the American
Revolution.
About the Lives of American Women series:
Selected and edited by renowned women's historian Carol Berkin,
these brief biographies are designed for use in undergraduate
courses. Rather than a comprehensive approach, each biography
focuses instead on a particular aspect of a women's life that is
emblematic of her time, or which made her a pivotal figure in the
era. The emphasis is on a "good read," featuring accessible writing
and compelling narratives, without sacrificing sound scholarship
and academic integrity. Primary sources at the end of each
biography reveal the subject's perspective in her own words. Study
questions and an annotated bibliography support the student reader.
The text is technically precise but at the same time accessible,
and is carried forward by numerous examples. The chapters focus on
vote counting rules, voting agendas, voter preferences, sincere and
sophisticated voting strategies, solution sets, voting outcomes,
agendas control, and agenda formation. The author himself has made
prior research contributions to a number of these topics.

Born out of a meticulous, well-researched historical and current
traditional land-use study led by Cega Kinna Nakoda Oyate (Carry
the Kettle Nakoda First Nation), Owoknage is the first book to tell
the definitive, comprehensive story of the Nakoda people (formerly
known as the Assiniboine), in their own words. From pre-contact to
current-day life, from thriving on the Great Plains to forced
removal from their traditional, sacred lands in the Cypress Hills
via a Canadian "Trail of Tears" starvation march to where they now
currently reside south of Sintaluta, Saskatchewan, this is their
story of resilience and resurgence.

This new book is the first to make logical and important
connections between trapping and foraging ecology. It develops and
describes-both verbally and mathematically--the underlying
principles that determine and define trap-organism interactions.
More important, it goes on to explain and illustrate how these
principles and relationships can be used to estimate absolute
population densities in the landscape and to address an array of
important problems relating to the use of trapping for detection,
population estimation, and suppression in both research and applied
contexts. The breakthrough nature of subject matter described has
broad fundamental and applied implications for research for
addressing important real-world problems in agriculture, ecology,
public health and conservation biology. Monitoring traps baited
with potent attractants of animals like insects have long played a
critical role in revealing what pests are present and when they are
active. However, pest managers have been laboring without the tools
necessary for quick and inexpensive determination of absolute pest
density, which is the cornerstone of pest management decisions.
This book spans the gamut from highly theoretical and fundamental
research to very practical applications that will be widely useful
across all of agriculture.

thematically and chronologically, explores genre research across a
range of disciplinary interests but with a specific focus on
rhetoric and composition. With introductions by the co-editors to
frame and extend each section, this volume helps readers understand
and contextualize both the foundations of the field and the central
themes and insights that have emerged. It will be of particular
interest to students and scholars working on topics related to
composition, rhetoric, professional and technical writing, and
applied linguistics.
"Committees, Agendas and Voting" surveys the formal literature on
committee voting that builds on the pioneering work of Duncan Black
and Robin Farquharson, literature which has developed within the
framework of economic theory, game theory, social choice theory and
spatial voting theory.
The text is technically precise but at the same time accessible,
and is carried forward by numerous examples. The chapters focus on
vote counting rules, voting agendas, voter preferences, sincere and
sophisticated voting strategies, solution sets, voting outcomes,
agendas control, and agenda formation. The author himself has made
prior research contributions to a number of these topics.
What happens when one group of individuals must collectively
choose, by means of voting, one alternative out of a larger set of
alternatives, concerning which they may have conflicting opinions?
This is the voting problem. Committee voting is voting of the
parliamentary type, in which collective choice proceeds through a
Provide professionally sound and principled therapy based on the
