Storm and Cloud Dynamics

Volume 44

By: William R. Cotton,Richard A. Anthes

This book focuses on the dynamics of clouds and of precipitating mesoscale meteorological systems. Clouds and precipitating mesoscale systems represent some of the most important and scientifically exciting weather systems in the world. These are the systems that produce torrential rains, severe winds including downburst and tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning, and major snow storms. Forecasting such storms represents a major challenge since they are too small to be adequately resolved by conventional observing networks and numerical prediction models.

On Shell Structure

By: Richard K. Larson

This volume collects together core papers by Richard K. Larson developing what has since come to be known as the "VP Shell" or "Split VP" analysis of sentential structure. The volume includes five previously published papers together with two major unpublished works from the same period: "Light Predicate Raising" (1989), which explores the interesting consequences of a leftward raising analysis of "NP Shift" phenomena, and "The Projection of DP (and DegP)" (1991), which extends the shell approach to the projection of nominal and adjectival structure, showing how projection can be handled in a uniform way. In addition to published, unpublished and limited distribution work, the volume includes extensive new introductory material. The general introduction traces the conceptual roots of VP Shells and its problems in the face of subsequent developments in theory, and offers an updated form compatible with modern Minimalist syntactic analysis. The section introductions to the material on datives, complex predicates and nominals show how the updated form of shell theory applies in the empirical domains where it was originally developed.

Ethnic Music on Records

A Discography of Ethnic Recordings Produced in the United States, 1893-1942. Vol. 1: Western Europe

By: Richard K. Spottswood

This impressive compilation offers a nearly complete listing of sound recordings made by American minority artists prior to mid-1942. Organized by national group or language, the seven-volume set cites primary and secondary titles, composers, participating artists, instrumentation, date and place of recording, master and release numbers, and reissues in all formats. Because of its clear arrangements and indexes, it will be a unique and valuable tool for music and ethnic historians, folklorists, and others.

Enumerative Combinatorics: Volume 2

By: Richard P. Stanley

This second volume of a two-volume basic introduction to enumerative combinatorics covers the composition of generating functions, trees, algebraic generating functions, D-finite generating functions, noncommutative generating functions, and symmetric functions. The chapter on symmetric functions provides the only available treatment of this subject suitable for an introductory graduate course on combinatorics, and includes the important Robinson-Schensted-Knuth algorithm. Also covered are connections between symmetric functions and representation theory. An appendix by Sergey Fomin covers some deeper aspects of symmetric function theory, including jeu de taquin and the Littlewood-Richardson rule. As in Volume 1, the exercises play a vital role in developing the material. There are over 250 exercises, all with solutions or references to solutions, many of which concern previously unpublished results. Graduate students and research mathematicians who wish to apply combinatorics to their work will find this an authoritative reference.

Addiction in the Lgbtq Community

By: Richard L. Travis

Substance abuse in the LGBTQ community is a serious problem. Whether it is caused or related to genetic predisposition, socialization in bars, covering up or medicating guilt or shame induced by exposure to homophobia, or the pressures of hiding one's sexuality, (or combinations of these) the addiction rates are shockingly higher among the LGBTQ community than the heterosexual community. In larger cities there are substance abuse treatment centers that do have a special focus on the LGBTQ community. There are even "clubhouses" that are either entirely, or almost entirely focused on LGBTQ AA, NA, CMA, ALANON, etc. 12-Step Meetings. These places make for a safe recovery setting for some of this community. The problem is that not all members of the LGBTQ community have access to these "friendly" places. This book can open your eyes to the problem of substance abuse, whether you are in the LGBTQ community or know someone who is. There is no cure to this problem. There is only the awareness that substance abuse exists, and needs to be treated. There may be prevention methods or approaches available, but the person must want to be actively involved in the betterment of himself/herself. Good self-esteem, self-acceptance, and healthy emotional expression are the root of a healthy approach to life, and could interrupt the potential of substance abuse. People need to be more accepting, and homophobia must be faced and accepted for what it is, and not internalized, if the LGBTQ community is to continue to make progress in treating substance abuse. It is encouraging to see more community centers in the LGBTQ community offer various activities that have nothing to do with alcohol or drug use. It is also encouraging to see our nation be more accepting of same sex marriages, as 36 states and the District of Washington now do. Perhaps this increased acceptance of same sex marriage will eventually lead to a decrease in homophobia, and the pain it causes so many in the LGBTQ community.
