This book showcases a selection of current work and debates on
weight and body management practices that are being produced from
the vibrant arena of critical and postmodern approaches in the
social sciences. Weight issues have become central to Western
understandings of health and identity, but analyses of weight and
body management have often failed to contextualise weight related
issues. This timely book addresses this gap by examining three key
areas, namely, representation, identities, and practice, to explore
and interrogate how body and weight management, subjectivities,
experiences, and practices are constituted within and by the
normative discourses of contemporary western culture.
Crystal growth, casting, soldering, welding, high-energy surface
treatment, nuclear safety systems and geophysical flows are just a
few examples where solidification and convection occur together.
These processes are interactive on micro- and macroscales: flow
affects the distribution of heat and species and hence the freezing
process, while solidification evolves flow boundaries, as in
crusting, for example, and hence can radically alter the
convection. Mathematical modellers, experimentalists and applied
scientists were invited to this colloquium with the aim of
consolidating our understanding of such interactions, of
identifying key outstanding issues, and of developing new
approaches in this important area of fundamental research. Both
invited and contributed papers focus on both fundamental and
technologically relevant problems.
Foundations of Aviation Law is an easy-reading general primer into
the often complex world of aviation law, written for aviation
students as well as legal professionals who are looking for
broad-based, introductory coverage of the subject. The text begins
with basic legal concepts that build a foundation for in-depth
exploration of aviation-specific subject matter. This allows the
instructor to utilize one text in situations where a basic
foundation in law is required before moving into aviation law
specifics. It includes citations to relevant and key court
decisions that provide a solid underpinning for the student of
aviation law. The book is divided into six general categories, with
fifteen relevant sub-chapters, allowing focused learning into
particular areas of law. Throughout it features chapter summaries,
key word indices and review questions. The design easily allows
instructors to develop syllabi that spotlight the specific area of
law that they are interested in exploring, providing comprehensive
coverage of both traditional introductory legal concepts and
topical aviation subject matter.

organic farming, strange encounters with other beings, far out
forms of spiritual discipline and the dissolution of a broken
marriage. At every hard spot or weirdness, Bob is there to provide
enlightened guidance, usually with a peculiar twist of some sort.

A rare discovery, A Mysterious Life and Calling is the
autobiography of Charlotte Levy Riley, who was born into slavery
but after emancipation achieved a fulfilling career as a preacher
in the South Carolina Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, schoolteacher, and civil servant. Although several
nineteenth-century accounts by black preaching women in the
northern states are known, this is the first memoir by a black
woman preaching in the South, both before and after the Civil War,
to be discovered. Born in 1839, Charlotte Riley recounts her
unusual experiences growing up as a young slave girl in Charleston
under the protection of her parents and the dominion of her wealthy
owners. She was taught to read, write, and sew, despite laws
forbidding black literacy, and while still a slave married a free
black architect. Raised a Presbyterian, she writes in her memoir of
her conversion at age fourteen to the African Methodist Episcopal
(AME) church, embracing its ecstatic worship and led by her own
spiritual visions. After the war, she separated permanently from
her husband, who objected to her call to preach, and despite poor
health pursued a career into the early twentieth century as a
licensed minister of the AME church, a powerful preacher at
multiracial revivals, and a school teacher and principal. She
contributed to the civic development of South Carolina in the
post-Reconstruction era and early twentieth century, including
appointment in 1885 as postmistress of Lincolnville, an all-black
incorporated town in South Carolina. She published her
autobiography around 1902. Crystal J. Lucky discovered Riley's
forgotten book in the archives of the Stokes Library at the
historically black Wilberforce University in Ohio. She provides an
introduction and notes to the narrative, explaining Riley's
references to contemporaries, events, society, and religious
practice throughout her childhood and the turbulent years of the
Civil War and Reconstruction. Lucky also places A Mysterious Life
and Calling in the context of other spiritual autobiographies and
slave narratives.
