Rara is a vibrant annual street festival in Haiti, when followers of the Afro-Creole religion called Vodou march loudly into public space to take an active role in politics. Working deftly with highly original ethnographic material, Elizabeth McAlister shows how Rara bands harness the power of Vodou spirits and the recently dead to broadcast coded points of view with historical, gendered, and transnational dimensions.
Meet Raa Raa the noisy lion, who loves going on noisy adventures with his little jungle friends! Today in the Jingly Jangle Jungle, Raa Raa wants to learn new and noisy things! But when he discovers he can't swing like his monkey friend, Ooo Ooo, or toot like his elephant friend, Huffty, he gets very upset. Will his friends help him learn that being a Raa Raa is very special, too? This delightful storybook is based on the amazing new animated pre-school show, which encourages youngsters to play with the sounds around them to develop their communication skills.
The series is a platform for contributions of all kinds to this rapidly developing field. General problems are studied from the perspective of individual languages, language families, language groups, or language samples. Conclusions are the result of a deepened study of empirical data. Special emphasis is given to little-known languages, whose analysis may shed new light on long-standing problems in general linguistics.
This volume provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of myeloid neoplasms. The book presents updated information on epidemiology, clinical presentation, morphologic findings, molecular genomic abnormalities, pathogenesis, and target therapies. The text helps to guide accurate diagnosis, the administration of appropriate ancillary molecular tests, patient management, and investigative efforts. The book also includes over 200 illustrations, photographs, and tables. Written by experts in the field, Precision Molecular Pathology of Myeloid Neoplasms serves as a valuable resource for pathologists, hematologists/oncologists, fellows, and researchers in understanding the molecular pathology of myeloid neoplasms.
Introduces the richly varied musical traditions of the Caribbean from interdisciplinary perspectives that will support decolonised curricula and research.
UP-TO-DATE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LEUKAEMIA DIAGNOSIS Written by a renowned expert this practical guide had been fully revised and updated. The book covers recent advances in the fields of immunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular genetics. It illustrates how laboratory techniques are used for the diagnosis and classification of leukaemia and includes images of abnormal cells to aid diagnosis. This fifth edition: Incorporates the recommendations of the 2015 WHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues Includes 300 high quality full colour digital images of abnormal cells in leukaemia and lymphoma Full colour diagrams and helpful tables clarify and summarise key points throughout Essential reading for every haematologist and haematopathologist.
Within the circum-Caribbean, the ubiquity of tourism and the variety of musical life are hard to miss. Scholars have long explored both of these themes in the Caribbean, but have done so from disciplinary perspectives that tended until recently (and for a variety of reasons) to foreclose readings that considered tourism and music together. This volume addresses itself to analyzing the dynamics and interrelationships between tourism and music throughout the region.
This volume collates world experts’ insights into the molecular biology of cancer chromosomes, their abnormalities and the subsequent cellular consequences. Exploring themes involving oncogenes, such as by chromosomal translocations, other genome rearrangements and somatic mutations, this book is a review of the field of cancer genetics that presages a new era, as whole genome sequencing becomes more accessible. The work begins with a look at historical themes, such as the analysis of metaphase chromosomes using microscopy and staining techniques, advances in which provided our first broad glimpse into the genetic anatomy of a malignant cell. Readers will learn about the application of DNA...
