Birdland was a legendary nightclub in New York City and, from 1949
to 1965, was the scene for the greatest jazz music and musicians in
the world. This illustrated book offers a history of this legendary
jazz club and presents the greats who played its stage, in capsule
biographies, vintage photos, and rare memorabilia. Named after
legendary jazz saxophonist Charlie Yardbird Parker, the club
showcased memorable double and triple bills lasting until dawn.
Many classic live recordings were made at the Jazz Corner of the
World, such as A Night at Birdland by the Art Blakey Quintet, Basie
at Birdland, and Coltrane, Live at Birdland. Birdland established
itself as the one place that every jazz musician had to play.
Greats such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Miles
Davis, Thelonious Monk, Count Basie, John Coltrane, Art Tatum, Art
Blakey, Horace Silver, Clifford Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz,
Lester Young, Billie Holiday, Oscar Peterson, and Sonny Rollins, to
name only a few, graced its stage.
This volume presents papers from the biennial International Laser
Radar Conference (ILRC), the world’s leading event in the field
of atmospheric research using lidar. With growing environmental
concerns to address such as air quality deterioration,
stratospheric ozone depletion, extreme weather events, and changing
climate, the lidar technique has never been as critical as it is
today to monitor, alert, and help solve current and emerging
problems of this century. The 30th occurrence of the ILRC unveils
many of the newest results and discoveries in atmospheric science
and laser remote sensing technology. The 30th ILRC conference
program included all contemporary ILRC themes, leveraging on both
the past events’ legacy and the latest advances in lidar
technologies and scientific discoveries, with participation by
young scientists particularly encouraged. This proceedings volume
includes a compilation of cutting-edge research on the following
themes: new lidar techniques and methodologies; measurement of
clouds and aerosol properties; atmospheric temperature, wind,
turbulence, and waves; atmospheric boundary layer processes and
their role in air quality and climate; greenhouse gases, tracers,
and transport in the free troposphere and above; the upper
mesosphere and lower thermosphere; synergistic use of multiple
instruments and techniques, networks and campaigns; model
validation and data assimilation using lidar measurements;
space-borne lidar missions, instruments and science; ocean lidar
instrumentation, techniques, and retrievals; and past, present and
future synergy of heterodyne and direct detection lidar
applications. In addition, special sessions celebrated 50 years of
lidar atmospheric observations since the first ILRC, comprising
review talks followed by a plenary discussion on anticipated future
directions.

Meant for both believers and non-believers, this book can
strengthen an already good relationship with God or help begin the
process of moving closer to the Almighty. For some, religious
education was minimal, leading to a limited formal knowledge about
God and the church. These people may wish for a clearer
understanding, wanting answers to many unasked questions.
Consequently, this book is written as a set of questions and
answers, hopefully covering some of the relevant religious topics.
As Matthew wrote in his Gospel, "Ask and it will be given to
you...."
"I hate to read!" is a statement that librarians and teachers
frequently hear from young adults. In Reaching Reluctant Young
Adult Readers, the author addresses the issue of aliteracy-the
condition when one has the ability to read but chooses not to-in
young people of ages 10 - 15. These students do not read for
pleasure and they read only when forced to do so through class
reading assignments, a pervasive problem that affects grades and
that can affect future success. Fortunately, librarians and
teachers can cultivate a love of reading in even the most reluctant
reader through the strategies, tools, and resources offered in this
book. Books whose characters and themes are appropriate on an
intellectual and maturity level for this age group are profiled.
Making culturally relevant books available to Asian, Black, and
Latino students to foster their reading enjoyment is also
addressed. A complete handbook for librarians and teachers to
confront and overcome aliteracy in young adults.

The European Security and Defense Identity (ESDI) is the European
Union's (EU) effort to acquire a military instrument of power
commensurate with its economic and political instruments of power.
The US should support ESDI on the condition that it continues to
evolve within the context of NATO. ESDI should result in stronger
and more capable allies who will be better partners for the US in
pursuit of shared interests and values. Any EU or NATO operation in
the foreseeable future will rely on US capabilities. The US can
leverage its technological strengths, as well as its mobility,
aerial refueling, and reconnaissance capabilities to maintain its
leadership role in Europe. By supporting ESDI, the US can shape its
development in a manner that will be beneficial to both sides of
the Atlantic. Failure to support ESDI risks further damaging an
already strained relationship with Europe.

Swing Street was the name given to 52nd Street in midtown Manhattan
in New York City, where there were more jazz clubs and bars per
square block than anywhere else in the world, all showcasing the
finest jazz musicians of the era. This illustrated book offers a
history of Swing Street and presents the greats who played the
clubs there in capsule biographies, vintage photos, and rare
memorabilia. On Swing Street you were guaranteed to experience an
evening of unforgettable jazz on a nightly basis, seven nights a
week, until the wee hours of the morning; stopping into Club
Downbeat to catch a set of Billie Holiday, or dropping by the Three
Deuces to hear Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie playing bebop. On
any given night you could hear other iconic jazz artists such as
Bud Powell, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Count Basie, Art Tatum,
Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, and
many others.
Marriage and other long-term committed relationships are an
integral part of our lives and confer many benefits. People in
satisfying marriages report greater life happiness, live longer,
and are less vulnerable to mental and physical illness.
Unfortunately, many couples experience significant relationship
distress and about half of marriages end in divorce. Among those
who stay married, a notable number of couples remain in unstable,
severely distressed marriages for years or even decades. Given the
serious physical and psychological consequences of relationship
distress and divorce for spouses and their children, it is clear
that relationship science-the basic and applied study of
relationship development, maintenance, and dysfunction-is of
critical importance. The Oxford Handbook of Relationship Science
and Couple Interventions showcases cutting-edge research in
relationship science, including couple functioning, relationship
education, and couple therapy. The book presents the most current
definitions of and classifications for relationship dysfunction and
discusses the latest research on the biological, psychological, and
interpersonal causes and correlates of couple dysfunction and
subsequent treatment implications. The latest findings regarding
empirically supported prevention and treatment interventions for
couple dysfunction are highlighted, as well as diversity and
cultural issues in the context of working with couples. This
Handbook will appeal to researchers who seek to understand the
development of relationship distress and design interventions to
prevent and treat couple distress and clinicians who are
diagnosing, assessing, and treating couple dysfunction.
