Buskers
Frustrated by the indifference of the music industry and the stacks of homemade CDs gathering dust in their closets, brothers Heth and Jed Weinstein made the radical decision to bring their music directly to the masses. They began playing on street corners, in subway stations, and wherever else they could connect with a live audience. To their surprise, far from this being the terminal stop of a dead-end career, busking turned out to be just the beginning as crowds of stressed-out commuters gathered around, cheering them on, subscribing to their mailing lists, and actually buying some of those stockpiled CDs—40,000 and counting. In Buskers, Heth and Jed recount their turbulent, drug- and c...
The Taming of New York's Washington Square
The surprising and unofficial system of social control and regulation that keeps crime rates low in New York City’s Washington Square Park Located in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Washington Square Park is a 9.75-acre public park that is perhaps best known for its historic Washington Square Arch, a landmark at the foot of 5th Avenue. Hundreds, if not thousands, pass through the park every day, some sit on benches enjoying the sunshine, play a game of chess, watch their children play in the playground, take their dog to the dog runs, or sit by the fountain or, sometimes, buy or sell drugs. The park has an extremely low crime rate. Sociologist, and local resident, Erich Goode wants to...

Auf den Straßen des Südens
Die Überlandbusse Südmexikos dienen nicht allein als Transportmittel. Täglich verwandeln unzählige lokale Akteur_innen die Fahrzeuge in mobile Räume informellen Handels. Sie werden von Verkäufer_innen und Prediger_innen genutzt, aber auch von Musiker_innen, die sie in der Hoffnung auf Spenden zu ihrer Bühne machen. Sven Kirschlager nimmt die Musiker_innen in den Fokus und beleuchtet ihre kreativen Strategien, wenn sie sich die Busse als Räume ihrer Performances aneignen und mobile Passagier_innen mit lokalen Zwischenräumen verbinden. Dabei bricht er mit romantisierenden Vorstellungen und zeigt den täglichen Überlebenskampf der Musiker_innen in einem Netzwerk räumlicher Hierarchien.
Evolutionary Theory and Processes: Modern Horizons
This volume presents provocative research in four broad areas: Evolution of Life and Evolutionary Theory, including papers on the origin of life, stress and evolution; Genome Evolution, including papers on adaptive genome regulation, and comparative mammalian genomes; Phylogeography and Phylogeny, including papers on mushroom phylogeny, macroevolution, and the origin of higher taxa; Human Evolution and Ecology, including papers on man's place in nature, and the origin of human hairlessness.
Evolutionary Theory and Processes: Modern Perspectives
This volume consists of papers written by evolutionary, molecular and organismal biologists, geneticists, ecologists, behavioural ecologists, morphologists, mathematicians, theoreticians and experimentalists, in honour of Professor Eviatar (Eibi) Nevo on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. The contributors are only a small subset of Eibi's many friends, collaborators and students (not that one can distinguish these categories among Eibi's colleagues). His widespread influence and activity, both in Israel and more generally, as a leading evolutionary biologist is indicated by his many co-authors on books and papers, and by his many students integrated in teaching and research.
