Always Resisting
In this memoir, Eric Newhall traces his life and political evolution with a particular focus on his time inside Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution, where he was incarcerated for refusing to participate in the Vietnam War. Beginning with his youth in an all-white neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, he describes his undergraduate experience at Occidental College in Los Angeles (1963-1967), his time in prison, and the powerful impact that his time behind bars had on both his 34-year marriage and 44-year teaching career. His memoir is a reminder that much work remains to be done, that subtle racism takes many forms and can be found even in outwardly progressive families like the one in which he was raised, and that the social problems examined here are even more pressing today than they were during the 1960s. The book will be particularly compelling to readers concerned by the threat to democracy posed by persistent war, authoritarianism and racism.
Der Regierungsentwurf eines Verbandssanktionengesetzes vom 16.6.2020
Die Diskussion um die Sanktionierung von Verbänden hat zuletzt durch den Regierungsentwurf vom 16.6.2020 an Dynamik gewonnen. Der Entwurf sollte die Sanktionierung von Verbänden auf eine eigenständige gesetzliche Grundlage stellen, sie dem Legalitätsprinzip unterwerfen und das Instrumentarium zur Ahndung von Verbandstaten verbessern. Zugleich sollten Compliance-Maßnahmen gefördert und Anreize für interne Untersuchungen durch das Unternehmen geboten werden. Im Rahmen des kriminalwissenschaftlichen Kolloquiums an der Universität Göttingen wurden aus der Sicht von Praxis und Wissenschaft grundsätzliche Fragen des Entwurfs ebenso thematisiert wie konkrete Anwendungsprobleme. Auch wenn zum Zeitpunkt des Kolloquiums schon bekannt war, dass der Entwurf nicht mehr Gesetz werden würde, bleiben die aufgeworfenen Fragen im Rahmen der weiteren Bestrebungen um eine Neuregelung aktuell.

Aspects of the Secular Cantata in Late Baroque Italy
The contributors in this volume choose aspects of the cantata relevant to their special interests in order to say new things about the works, whether historical, analytical, bibliographical, discographical or performance-based. The prime focus is on Italian-born composers working between 1650 and 1750 and many key figures are considered, among them Tomaso Albinoni, Giovanni Bononcini, Giovanni Legrenzi, Benedetto Marcello, Alessandro Scarlatti, Alessandro Stradella, Leonardo Vinci and Antonio Vivaldi. The book aims to stimulate interest in, and to win converts to, this genre, which in its day equalled the instrumental sonata in importance, and in which more than a few composers invested a major part of their creativity.
The Performance of 16th-Century Music
Modern musical training tends to focus primarily on performance practices of the Classical and Romantic periods, and most performers come to the music of the Renaissance with well-honed but anachronistic ideas and concepts. As a result, elemental differences between 16th-century repertoire and that of later epochs tend to be overlooked-yet it is just these differences which can make a performance truly stunning. The Performance of 16th-Century Music offers a remedy for the performer, presenting the information and guidance that will enable them to better understand the music and advance their technical and expressive abilities. Drawing from nearly 40 years of performing, teaching, and studyi...
