Shared Traditions

Southern History and Folk Culture

By: Charles W. Joyner

Grounded in Charles Joyner's unique blend of rigorous scholarship and genuine curiosity, these thoughtful and incisive essays by the eminent southern historian and folklorist explore the South's extraordinary amalgam of cultural traditions. By examining the mutual influence of history and folk culture, Shared Traditions reveals the essence of southern culture in the complex and dynamic interactions of descendants of Europeans, Africans, and Native Americans. The book covers a broad spectrum of southern folk groups, folklore expressions, and major themes of southern history, including antebellum society, slavery, the coming of the Civil War, economic modernization in the Appalachians and the Sea Islands, immigration, the civil rights movement, and the effects of cultural tourism. Joyner addresses the convergence of African and European elements in the Old South and explores how specific environmental and demographic features shaped the acculturation process. He discusses divergent practices in worship services, funeral and burial services, and other religious ceremonies. He examines links between speech patterns and cultural patterns, the influence of Irish folk culture in the American South, and the southern Jewish experience. He also investigates points of intersection between history and legend and relations between the new social history and folklore. Ranging from rites of power and resistance on the slave plantation to the creolization of language to the musical brew of blues, country, jazz, and rock, Shared Traditions reveals the distinctive culture born of a sharing by black and white southerners of their deep-rooted and diverse traditions.

To Be a Single Father

By: Charles Jones

Making of a Global Engineer: Philosophy and Practice interfaces Technology and Culture. With the operation of technology on a global scale comes the question of dealing with a global professional environment with its diverse languages, beliefs, educational, technical work environment and academic and corporate culture. This leads to the conclusion that technology and cross-cultural issues are intrinsically entwined in global engineering. The book explores the global engineering environment and the consequent need for the global engineer, possessing not only technical skills but language, cultural and international skills. It explores engineering educational models for integrating international education into the engineering curriculum, focuses on differences and commonality in Higher Educational system, examines cross-cultural issues related to crossing cultural boundaries and focuses on fundamental global skills an engineer must possess to be "a global engineer." It also provides a practical guide for administering international programs in engineering. The material is organized to give a direction; an educational path a reader can follow to become a global engineer. Making of a Global Engineer: Philosophy and Practice is a valuable educational tool for the global technical enterprise needed both by academia to train students and by industry for training engineers. The book acts as a guiding force as it answers the twin questions of "Why?" and "How?" related to global education.

America’s Dark History

From Columbus to Trump

By: H. H. Charles

Trump's "Make America Great Again" was a crass slogan intended to appeal to the most antiquated and base emotions, resentments, and bigotry that plague far too many "Americans" who still believe in white supremacy. Using historical sources found on various research platforms, Part I reviews the genocide, persecution, and bigotry practiced from Columbus to Trump on natives, immigrants, Africans, and others. There is no review of Trump as what he has done and is doing is well-covered by present-day media. Acknowledging it is hardly an exhaustive compilation, Part II lists the contributions made by those who suffered from their not being white Anglo immigrants to America. The book is an attempt to have Americans, who will listen and care, recognize that America does not need to be made "great again." America needs to be made great.

Regulating Genetic Resources

Access and Benefit Sharing in International Law

By: Charles Lawson

ÔAn insightful guide to some key developments in the international governance of genetic resources. Exploration of the central role of state sovereignty in current approaches aids understanding of the impact that the socio-economic and political context has on the content and direction of rules in this area. The book includes extensive information on the influence of treaty regimes that are often marginal to or absent from other analyses of genetic resource governance (outer space, seas and oceans, and Antarctica).Õ Ð Catherine Rhodes, The University of Manchester, UK This detailed and concise book surveys the international genetic resources laws applying in Antarctica, space, the oceans and seas, the lands, and the airspaces above land and water. The well-structured analysis traces the evolution of these various schemes and their contributions to the comprehensive arrangements under the Convention on Biological Diversity, the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the World Health OrganizationÕs PIP Framework. The book details the different avenues and concluded positions, documenting a laboratory of legal approaches and possibilities. Regulating Genetic Resources will be a valuable addition to academics, governments, NGOs and students in environmental and intellectual property law.

Fiduciary Duty and the Atmospheric Trust

By: Charles Sampford,Ken Coghill,Tim Smith

This book explores the application of concepts of fiduciary duty or public trust in responding to the policy and governance challenges posed by policy problems that extend over multiple terms of government or even, as in the case of climate change, human generations. The volume brings together a range of perspectives including leading international thinkers on questions of fiduciary duty and public trust, Australia's most prominent judicial advocate for the application of fiduciary duty, top law scholars from several major universities, expert commentary from an influential climate policy think-tank and the views of long-serving highly respected past and present parliamentarians. The book presents a detailed examination of the nature and extent of fiduciary duty, looking at the example of Australia and having regard to developments in comparable jurisdictions. It identifies principles that could improve the accountability of political actors for their responses to major problems that may extend over multiple electoral cycles.

The Beat

Go-Go Music from Washington, D.C.

By: Kip Lornell,Charles C. Stephenson Jr.

The Beat! was the first book to explore the musical, social, and cultural phenomenon of go-go music. In this edition, updated by a substantial chapter on the current scene, authors Kip Lornell and Charles C. Stephenson, Jr., place go-go within black popular music made since the middle 1970s—a period during which hip-hop has predominated. This styling reflects the District's African American heritage. Its super-charged drumming and vocal combinations of hip-hop, funk, and soul evolved and still thrive on the streets of Washington, DC, and in neighboring Prince George's County, making it the most geographically compact form of popular music. Go-go—the only musical form indigenous to Washington, DC—features a highly syncopated, nonstop beat and vocals that are spoken as well as sung. The book chronicles its development and ongoing popularity, focusing on many of its key figures and institutions, including established acts such as Chuck Brown (the Godfather of Go-Go), Experience Unlimited, Rare Essence, and Trouble Funk; well-known DJs, managers, and promoters; and filmmakers who have incorporated it into their work. The Beat! provides longtime fans and those who study American musical forms a definitive look at the music and its makers.

Problems in Contract Law

Cases and Materials

By: Charles L. Knapp,Nathan M. Crystal,Harry G. Prince

In Problems in Contract Law: Cases and Materials, Ninth Edition, by Charles L. Knapp, Nathan M. Crystal, and Harry G.

Adaptable for instructors with different teaching techniques, this successful book includes various perspectives and contractual settings, and offers a highly intelligent, contemporary treatment of contract law. It can easily be used in teaching by traditional case analysis, through problem-based instruction, or using theoretical inquiry. New to the Ninth Edition: Seven new cases that reflect advances in or improved statements of contract law Two restored cases (Kirksey v. Kirksey and Hill v. Jones) that provide valuable perspectives on fundamental areas of contract law Eight new problems (including seven net additions and one replacement) to provide more review options for teachers and students and to add contemporary fact patterns A new, two-color design featuring interesting photographs illustrating people and places discussed in some of the cases Editing of note and text material to reduce length without affecting coverage Reorganization of text and comment material to focus comments primarily on historical developments, allowing professors flexibility in assigning or deleting comments Student accessibility to deleted cases from prior editions through Connected Casebook, allowing professors the further flexibility of continuing to easily assign cases for which they have a particular preference Professors and students will benefit from: Flexible application for professors with various teaching methodologies: traditional, problem, theoretical, and practical A mixture of classic and contemporary cases The authors’ emphasis on accessibility of the material—rejecting a hide-the-ball approach Review questions at the end of each chapter that are primarily designed for students to perform self-assessments of their grasp of the material.

Quicklet on Criminal Minds Season 4 (CliffNotes-like Summary, Analysis, and Review)

By: Charles Limley

Quicklets: Your Reading Sidekick! ABOUT THE BOOK Season Four of Criminal Minds aired on CBS September 24, 2008, and ran until May 20, 2009. One of the biggest events in this season is the temporary absence of Agent Jennifer JJ Jareau, who leaves for several episodes while on maternity leave. Agent Jordan Todd steps in to fill JJs role as the BAUs media liaison, though she returns to her former post in the FBIs counter-terrorism unit when JJs maternity leave ends. Criminal Minds follows an elite team of FBI criminal investigators, known as the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), as its members travel the country working to solve grisly murder mysteries and arresting the serial killers responsible for them. During its premier season, Criminal Minds was the newest iteration of crime scene investigation television programs, competing with such shows as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Crossing, Law & Order: SUV, and Medium, many of which were also broadcast on CBS. Given this context, Criminal Minds used its first season to set itself apart from the crowd. At the start of Season Four, Criminal Minds had established itself as a leader in the crime scene investigation genre. MEET THE AUTHOR Charles Limley is a native of Colorado. After earning bachelors degrees in both English Literature and Humanities from the University of ColoradoBoulder, he entered the world of professional writing. He began his work with Hyperink during the fall of 2011. In addition to writing, Limley is an avid reader. He also loves bicycles, and has completed several long-distance bicycle tours. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK This fundamental theme is articulated early on in the series history when former Agent Gideon reminds Agent Reid that for a psychological profiler, the most effective weapon is the ability to empathize to humanize an unsubs victim (TV, Criminal Minds: Episode Guide). Gideon tells Reid that only by reversing the dehumanizing effects of crime and murder, returning to the victims their dignity and worth as individuals, can an effective and accurate profile of the perpetrator be constructed. Thus, for the characters of Criminal Minds, solving crimes and arresting serial killers is ultimately an act of recognizing and maintaining the value inherent in each individual victim. Season Four of Criminal Minds presents a series of exciting, suspenseful, and often times eerie tales that work together to create a larger story of dedication, friendship, and cooperation. Although they must face some of the most horrific and truly grotesque crimes imaginable, members of the BAU team consistently rely on logic, intellect, instinct, empathy, and even compassion to infiltrate the frighteningly deranged minds of killers. By doing so, they help remove criminals from society and prevent the occurrence of any future violence... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Thoughts

Tools for Practical Living and Building Better Relationships

By: Charles E.,Mary A. Sampson

This book contains miscellaneous proverbs (taken from the Bible, in the book of Proverbs) and practical thoughts that could lead to practical living and building better relationships. Also, in the book, you will also find affirmation statements that will assure positive results, and nullification responses to negative thoughts, consequently ending in negative results. There is also a chapter containing humor. Laughter does wonders. The more we can find laughter, in all likelihood, the more our minds and spirits will be uplifted. In the book of Proverbs 17:22 (TLB), it says, “A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick.” Unlike depression, which drains you and zaps all of your energy. We found that during some of our gloomy days, laughter really works. Although laughter will not remove the stressors, it will bring some relief to the stress. It’s merely impossible to laugh and be angry at the same time. One overrides the other, however, we are in control of which one prevails. To this day, laughter is the best medicine on the market. What’s so wonderful and unique about laughter is that it’s potent, costs nothing and can be refilled as often as you wish. We should make a valiant effort to complain less and laugh more. Thoughts is a book that is filled with many positive statements and provides solutions to diverse problems. If applied correctly, the thoughts and proverbs in this book will ensure a positive impact on one’s life. Also, after reading this book, an imprint will be left on your heart.
