Jazz Cultures
From its beginning, jazz has presented a contradictory social world: jazz musicians have worked diligently to erase old boundaries, but they have just as resolutely constructed new ones. David Ake's vibrant and original book considers the diverse musics and related identities that jazz communities have shaped over the course of the twentieth century, exploring the many ways in which jazz musicians and audiences experience and understand themselves, their music, their communities, and the world at large. Writing as a professional pianist and composer, the author looks at evolving meanings, values, and ideals--as well as the sounds--that musicians, audiences, and critics carry to and from the ...

The Rushing
"The tough sub-culture of drugs and the �60�s and the jazz experience." "And now it flows, the trickle of conscious participation as rivers flow to the cold pristine mix of the sea, and as the earth bleeds openly for brother and son, so goes the madness, so goes the war un-won, so goes the man undone, and so goes the Rushing." "The love of life propelled by music and the mounting struggle with self control and addiction, the inner conflict of the heart and the tempting pangs of oblivion." Into the catacombs, the dark desperation of the heroin addict, Louis Parker, assailed by a power beyond his control never lost site of his dream, believing that no matter what he would somehow find his way, find the path that would lead him back to the music and playing jazz. The inspiring story of the tough underground of drugs and jazz music in the 60�s and the "Crooked Road to the Big Time." Through the depths of heroin addiction and jazz music one man made it back and survived. Find out how he did it.

Principles Of Renewable Energy Engineering With Worked Examples
In this volume, engineering principles of renewable energy are presented as extensions of the various subjects covered in regular engineering courses. Topics include solar thermal and solar PV power, wind power, energy storage, tidal power, wave power, and ocean thermal energy, and hydroelectric, geothermal and biomass systems.The comprehensive textbook brings the principles of renewable energy engineering together in a single book equivalent to that of a standard engineering title.A novel feature of this unique reference is the 30 worked examples and problems highlighted at the end of each chapter. Numerical answers are provided for all the problems. Readers should be able to avoid the need to refer to several books on individual energy sources to develop a course on renewable energy.
