Scandoromani

Remnants of a Mixed Language

By: Gerd Carling,Lenny Lindell,Gilbert Ambrazaitis

Scandoromani: Remnants of a Mixed Language is the first, comprehensive, international description of the language of the Swedish and Norwegian Romano, also labeled resande/reisende. The language, an official minority language in Sweden and Norway, has a history in Scandinavia going back to the early 16th century. A mixed language of Romani and Scandinavian, it is spoken today by a vanishingly small population of mainly elderly people. This book is based on in-depth linguistic interviews with two native speakers of different families (one of whom is the co-author) as well as reviews of earlier sources on Scandoromani. The study reveals a number of interesting features of the language, as well as of mixed languages in general. In particular, the study gives support to the model of autonomy of mixed languages.

Clear-Cutting Disease Control

Capital-Led Deforestation, Public Health Austerity, and Vector-Borne Infection

By: Rodrick Wallace,Luis Fernando Chaves,Luke R. Bergmann,Constância Ayres,Lenny Hogerwerf,Richard Kock,Robert G. Wallace

The vector-borne Zika virus joins avian influenza, Ebola, and yellow fever as recent public health crises threatening pandemicity. By a combination of stochastic modeling and economic geography, this book proposes two key causes together explain the explosive spread of the worst of the vector-borne outbreaks. Ecosystems in which such pathogens are largely controlled by environmental stochasticity are being drastically streamlined by both agribusiness-led deforestation and deficits in public health and environmental sanitation. Consequently, a subset of infections that once burned out relatively quickly in local forests are now propagating across susceptible human populations whose vulnerability to infection is often exacerbated in structurally adjusted cities. The resulting outbreaks are characterized by greater global extent, duration, and momentum. As infectious diseases in an age of nation states and global health programs cannot, as much of the present modeling literature presumes, be described by interacting populations of host, vector, and pathogen alone, a series of control theory models is also introduced here. These models, useful to researchers and health officials alike, explicitly address interactions between government ministries and the pathogens they aim to control.

The Trials of Lenny Bruce

The Fall and Rise of an American Icon

By: Ronald K. L. Collins,David M. Skover

Lenny Bruce had the power to provoke laughter and delight from the repressed society of the early 1960s. But he also infuriated authorities; his blunt honesty caused him to be arrested and tried for obscenity in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. These trials made history as a challenge to the First Amendment. This ground-breaking biography, told through text and an accompanying audio CD, allows readers to listen to, laugh with and understand the man whose words had the power to provoke laughter and debate -- as well as shock, outrage and arrests. The one-hour audio CD brings Lenny Bruce's voice to you, including his notorious routines and excerpts from the never-before-released secret tapes of his New York obscenity trial. The Trials of Lenny Bruce is the authoritative work on his career and free-speech battles. It paints a vivid, shocking, hilarious portrait of a man too honest for his time. Book jacket.
