Jazz Cultures
From its beginning, jazz has presented a contradictory social world: jazz musicians have worked diligently to erase old boundaries, but they have just as resolutely constructed new ones. David Ake's vibrant and original book considers the diverse musics and related identities that jazz communities have shaped over the course of the twentieth century, exploring the many ways in which jazz musicians and audiences experience and understand themselves, their music, their communities, and the world at large. Writing as a professional pianist and composer, the author looks at evolving meanings, values, and ideals--as well as the sounds--that musicians, audiences, and critics carry to and from the ...
American Men and Women in Medicine, Applied Sciences and Engineering with Roots in Czechoslovakia
No comprehensive study has been undertaken about the American learned men and women with Czechoslovak roots. The aim of this work is to correct this glaring deficiency, with the focus on men and women in medicine, applied sciences and engineering. It covers immigration from the period of mass migration and beyond, irrespective whether they were born in their European ancestral homes or whether they have descended from them. This compendium clearly demonstrates the Czech and Slovak immigrants, including Bohemian Jews, have brought to the New World, in these areas, their talents, their ingenuity, the technical skills, their scientific knowhow, as well as their humanistic and spiritual upbringi...
The Rushing
"The tough sub-culture of drugs and the �60�s and the jazz experience." "And now it flows, the trickle of conscious participation as rivers flow to the cold pristine mix of the sea, and as the earth bleeds openly for brother and son, so goes the madness, so goes the war un-won, so goes the man undone, and so goes the Rushing." "The love of life propelled by music and the mounting struggle with self control and addiction, the inner conflict of the heart and the tempting pangs of oblivion." Into the catacombs, the dark desperation of the heroin addict, Louis Parker, assailed by a power beyond his control never lost site of his dream, believing that no matter what he would somehow find his way, find the path that would lead him back to the music and playing jazz. The inspiring story of the tough underground of drugs and jazz music in the 60�s and the "Crooked Road to the Big Time." Through the depths of heroin addiction and jazz music one man made it back and survived. Find out how he did it.

Principles Of Renewable Energy Engineering With Worked Examples
In this volume, engineering principles of renewable energy are presented as extensions of the various subjects covered in regular engineering courses. Topics include solar thermal and solar PV power, wind power, energy storage, tidal power, wave power, and ocean thermal energy, and hydroelectric, geothermal and biomass systems.The comprehensive textbook brings the principles of renewable energy engineering together in a single book equivalent to that of a standard engineering title.A novel feature of this unique reference is the 30 worked examples and problems highlighted at the end of each chapter. Numerical answers are provided for all the problems. Readers should be able to avoid the need to refer to several books on individual energy sources to develop a course on renewable energy.
New Directions in Sustainable Design
Recently there has been a plethora of work published on the topic of sustainability, much of which is purely theoretical or technical in its approach. More often than not these books fail to introduce readers to the larger challenge of what thinking sustainably might entail. Combining a series of well know authors in contemporary philosophy with established practitioners of sustainable design, this book develops a coherent theoretical framework for how theories of sustainability might engage with the growing practice of design. This book: brings together new and emerging perspectives on sustainability provides cohesive and jargon-free reading articulates the specificity of both theory and practice, to develop a symbiotic relationship which allows the reader to understand what thinking sustainably entails This volume describes a variety of new ways to approach sustainable design and it equips the next generation of designers with necessary conceptual tools for thinking sustainably.
Re-Envisioning Education
With increasing diversity and widening disparities in the United States and globally there are significant challenges and opportunities throughout the educational landscape. Today’s educational stakeholders, particulary public school administrators and teachers, must re- envision education and collectively build equity-centered systems, structures, and practices. Confronting systemic inequality in education can be a daunting task, but it is nonetheless imperative. Connecting theory to practice, this book aims to promote inclusive educational excellence, and will offer valuable insights and inspiration to a wide range of educational stakeholders. Affirming diversity and advancing social jus...
The Hydrogen Energy Transition
The Hydrogen Energy Transition addresses the key issues and actions that need to be taken to achieve a changeover to hydrogen power as it relates to vehicles and transportation, and explores whether such a transition is likely, or even possible. Government agencies and leaders in industry recognize the need to utilize hydrogen as an energy source in order to provide cleaner, more efficient, and more reliable energy for the world's economies. This book analyzes this need and presents the most up-to-date government, industry, and academic information analyzing the use of hydrogen energy as an alternative fuel. With contributions from policy makers and researchers in the government, corporate, ...
