Contemporary Aboriginal music from powwow to hip hop, the people that make it, and the issues that shape it.
Der Pflanzenbewuchs und die durchwurzelte Bodenschicht nehmen eine zentrale Stellung in terrestrischen Ökosystemen ein. Die Bedeutung der im Wurzel-Boden-Kontaktraum ablaufenden komplexen Prozesse für die Pflanzen- und Bodenentwicklung wurde lange Zeit nicht ausreichend erkannt. Diese grundlegenden Prozesse sind inzwischen als so genannte "Hidden Half" Gegenstand zahlreicher Untersuchungen. Ihre Aufklärung ist eine Voraussetzung für Vermeidung, Indikation und Behebung von Umweltschäden. Sie können Richtlinien für einen ökologisch orientierten Maßnahmenkatalog sowie für eine nachhaltige ressourcenschonende Landbewirtschaftung liefern. Dieses Buch leistet einen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis des Wirkungsgefüges und der Steuermechanismen im Wurzel-Boden-Interface.
This book offers a bridge at the interface between engineering and cell biology, demonstrating how a mathematical modelling approach combined with quantitative experiments can provide enhanced understanding of cell phenomena involving receptor ligand interactions. Model frameworks are described over the entire spectrum of receptor processes, from fundamental cell surface binding, intracellular trafficking, and signal transduction events to the cell behavioural functions they govern, including proliferation, adhesion, and migration.
Corporal Harold J. Skaarup of Carleton County, New Brunswick was a Sherman tank commander in A Squadron of the 5th Armoured Regiment, 8th Princess Louise's New Brunswick Hussars during the Second World War. On the morning of the 31st of August 1944, he and his tank crew were fighting the Germans in Italy near a hill known as Point 136. His Squadron had already lost twelve of 19 tanks, ten to German 88mm anti-tank shells and 2 to breakdowns. That morning, Harold's tank was hit by a shell fired from a German 88mm anti-tank gun, and Harold was badly injured. Although he and his tank crew bailed out of the burning Sherman, mortar rounds began to land on them. Harold was hit again, this time taking shell fragments in his chest. He was evacuated to a field hospital in the rear area, but died later from his wounds on the 6th of September 1944. He was 24 years old. Today he lies buried in a Commonwealth War Grave in Montecchio, Italy. He never got home to tell his story. This record is a partial chronicle of his service, by his nephew. We never met, but I do carry his name.

The historiography of African religions and religions in Africa presents a remarkable shift from the study of 'Africa as Object' to 'Africa as Subject', thus translating the subject from obscurity into the global community of the academic study of religion. This book presents a unique multidisciplinary exploration of African traditions in the study of religion in Africa and the new African diaspora. The book is structured under three main sections - Emerging trends in the teaching of African Religions; Indigenous Thought and Spirituality; and Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. Contributors drawn from diverse African and global contexts situate current scholarly traditions of the study of African religions within the purview of academic encounter and exchanges with non-African scholars and non-African contexts. African scholars enrich the study of religions from their respective academic and methodological orientations. Jacob Kehinde Olupona stands out as a pioneer in the socio-scientific interpretation of African indigenous religion and religions in Africa. This book is to his honour and marks his immense contribution to an emerging field of study and research.
Native Christians reflects on the modes and effects of Christianity among indigenous peoples of the Americas drawing on comparative analysis of ethnographic and historical cases. Christianity in this region has been part of the process of conquest and domination, through the association usually made between civilizing and converting. While Catholic missions have emphasized the 'civilizing' process, teaching the Indians the skills which they were expected to exercise within the context of a new societal model, the Protestants have centered their work on promoting a deep internal change, or 'conversion', based on the recognition of God's existence. Various ethnologists and scholars of indigeno...
