Black Night Bright Dawn
Black Night Bright Dawn, a novel of good versus evil set against the momentous events of the 1930's and 40's, chronicles the lives of two look-alike young men reared in vastly different cultures. Adolph Schweid is the son of rabidly anti-Semitic parents living in Berlin, while Eric Roth is the son of Jewish parents in Brooklyn, New York. Adolf exhibits a fanatical hatred of Jews through his actions as a teenager and as an SS officer in World War II. Eric comes of age in lower middle-class circumstances, proud of his Jewish heritage and later serves as an OSS officer during the war. Shifting between Berlin and Brooklyn, the story describes how the cataclysmic events of that critical period in history influences each one's life, culminating in a climactic and explosive confrontation when a long-buried secret leads to a post-war meeting between the two.

A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species
Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade, they invade and colonize new habitats, often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e.g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e.g. buildings, road and water supply), to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread, as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. Thi...
Narratives in Black British Dance
This book explores Black British dance from a number of previously-untold perspectives. Bringing together the voices of dance-artists, scholars, teachers and choreographers, it looks at a range of performing arts from dancehall to ballet, providing valuable insights into dance theory, performance, pedagogy, identity and culture. It challenges the presumption that Blackness, Britishness or dance are monolithic entities, instead arguing that all three are living networks created by rich histories, diverse faces and infinite future possibilities. Through a variety of critical and creative essays, this book suggests a widening of our conceptions of what British dance looks like, where it appears, and who is involved in its creation.
STOP, THAT and One Hundred Other Sleep Scales
There are at least four reasons why a sleep clinician should be familiar with rating scales that evaluate different facets of sleep. First, the use of scales facilitates a quick and accurate assessment of a complex clinical problem. In three or four minutes (the time to review ten standard scales), a clinician can come to a broad understanding of the patient in question. For example, a selection of scales might indicate that an individual is sleepy but not fatigued; lacking alertness with no insomnia; presenting with no symptoms of narcolepsy or restless legs but showing clear features of apnea; exhibiting depression and a history of significant alcohol problems. This information can be used...
