Salem
How is a sense of place created, imagined, and reinterpreted over time? That is the intriguing question addressed in this comprehensive look at the 400-year history of Salem, Massachusetts, and the experiences of fourteen generations of people who lived in a place mythologized in the public imagination by the horrific witch trials and executions of 1692 and 1693. But from its settlement in 1626 to the present, Salem was, and is, much more than this. In this volume, contributors from a variety of fields examine Salem's multiple urban identities: frontier outpost of European civilization, cosmopolitan seaport, gateway to the Far East, refuge for religious diversity, center for education, and of course, "Witch City" tourist attraction.
Twenty Years in the Dark
My disregard for Him finally caught up with me; my actions which I had continuously boasted about finally betrayed me, bringing with it dire consequences. I wobbled as I made my way across the road to a nearby bus stop. With every step I took, I could feel the pain ripping through my left ribcage as thick blood gushed out through the hole in my T-shirt where the knife had pierced through. I could feel whatever strength left in my body draining away fast. My gags muffled my expletives as they came out as little more than grunts. Open space please, open space, the paramedic shouted. I whispered in pain, Please, Lord, dont let me die.
Sample Size Calculations for Clustered and Longitudinal Outcomes in Clinical Research
Accurate sample size calculation ensures that clinical studies have adequate power to detect clinically meaningful effects. This results in the efficient use of resources and avoids exposing a disproportionate number of patients to experimental treatments caused by an overpowered study. Sample Size Calculations for Clustered and Longitudinal Outcomes in Clinical Research explains how to determine sample size for studies with correlated outcomes, which are widely implemented in medical, epidemiological, and behavioral studies. The book focuses on issues specific to the two types of correlated outcomes: longitudinal and clustered. For clustered studies, the authors provide sample size formulas...
From Tavern to Courthouse
During the formative years of the American republic, lawyers and architects, both eager to secure public affirmation of their professional status, worked together to create specialized, purpose-built courthouses to replace the informal judicial settings in which trials took place during the colonial era. In From Tavern to Courthouse, Martha J. McNamara addresses this fundamental redefinition of civic space in Massachusetts. Professional collaboration, she argues, benefitted both lawyers and architects, as it reinforced their desire to be perceived as trained specialists solely concerned with promoting the public good. These courthouses, now reserved exclusively for legal proceedings and occu...
Horrible Intimacies
*Horrible Intimacies* concerns the relationship between two aging artists, a painter & a poet, who, unknown to the other, had spent years in New York City in the last century, and now meet for the first time in the desert at the end of history. It's like that old joke: What are you drawing, Johnny? Answer: *God.* But nobody knows what He looks like. Answer: *They will when I get through.* It's like that, only funnier. *Intimacies* seeks a few good men, says the author: Jesuits. Bolsheviks. Dadaists. Apache. Sandinistas. The '49 Brooklyn Dodgers... If you think this in any way implies a relationship between Peterson's book and real life, you're probably onto something.
