<\/a>Subtitled \u201cDiversity, Conflict, and Community in an Integrated Neighborhood,\u201d\u00a0this book by Perry, an associate professor of sociology at Rhodes College,\u00a0shifts the conventional scholarly focus from \u201cWhat can integration do?\u201d to \u201cHow is integration done?\u201d Through examination\u00a0of life \u201con the block\u201d in a multiethnic, mixed-income Milwaukee neighborhood, Perry shows how residents negotiate difference \u2014 maintaining relative stability in the community without insisting on total conformity.\u00a0\u201cLive and Let Live\u201d\u00a0advances understanding of how and why neighborhoods matter and challenges readers to reflect on their notions of the good community.\u00a0Published by the University of North Carolina Press, 2016. <\/i><\/p>\nImaging Unconventional Reservoir Pore Systems<\/h3>\n

\n<\/a>This covers recent advances in the acquisition and application of high-resolution image data to unconventional petroleum reservoirs. The value of integrating multiple techniques is a common theme. Chapters address imaging methods, recognition of artifacts, and case studies that explore the network of tiny holes that host oil, gas, and water in shales and other rocks that are challenging to produce. The importance of mineralogy, organic matter content, and the arrangement of these components to reservoir quality issues such as porosity, wettability, and formation damage are addressed. This volume will prove useful to anyone interested in the methods for observing and quantifying the pore systems (spaces between minerals) that control oil and gas storage and flow in unconventional reservoirs.\u00a0Published by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, 2016. <\/i><\/p>\nThe\u00a0Haywire Heart<\/h3>\n
\n<\/a>Intended for anyone who competes in endurance sports such as cycling, triathlon, running races of all distances, and cross-country skiing,\u00a0Zinn\u2019s new book \u2014 and his first not about bicycles \u2014 presents evidence that going too hard or too long can damage one\u2019s heart. He shares developing research into a group of conditions known as \u201cathlete\u2019s heart,\u201d starting with a wide-ranging look at the warning signs, symptoms, and how to recognize potential risk. Leading cardiac electrophysiologist and athlete John Mandrola, who co-authors the book along with Zinn and Chris Case,\u00a0explores the prevention and treatment of heart conditions in athletes and reviews new research about exercise intensity and duration, recovery, inflammation and calcification, and the ways athletes inflict lasting harm.

\n<\/a>The book is a comprehensive survey of the means, goals, and motivations of the ascetic life as represented in texts spanning the 4th through 19th century. Contemporary examples are also included. The main themes are the dynamics of the soul, the disabling effects of the passions, mental and physical asceticism, the desirable condition of dispassion, and the experience of deification. A variety of topics are addressed, including a mystical tradition of prayer, religious weeping, the spiritual senses, dream interpretation, luminous visions, ascetic demonology, and pain in ascetic practice. Typical ascetic and mystical experiences are interpreted from the psychological and the neuroscientific perspective. Comparative analyses, including early Buddhist psychology, highlight distinctive features of the Christian ascetic life.

\n<\/a>Scheid wrote the introduction and edited this volume, an anthology of original articles by internationally prominent philosophical and political thinkers on the moral and legal issues concerning military interventions for humanitarian purposes. Scheid\u2019s introduction lays out the main moral principles, the recent development of the concept of such interventions, and an account of the NATO intervention in Libya in 2011. Scheid, a professor of philosophy at Winona State University in Minnesota, says his first CC philosophy course was with Glenn Gray, who taught philosophy at Colorado College from 1948 to 1977 and wrote a book of philosophical reflections on his Second World War experiences, titled \u201cThe Warriors: Reflections on Men in Battle.\u201d Published by Cambridge University Press, 2014.<\/i><\/p>\nSuture & Narrative:\u00a0Deep Intersubjectivity in Fiction and Film<\/h3>\n
\n<\/a>The culmination of more than a decade\u2019s worth of research, Butte\u2019s book offers a new understanding of how fiction and film narratives use particular techniques to create, represent, and bring about the experience of community. Studying texts and titles ranging from Henry James, to J.M. Barrie\u2019s Peter Pan tales, to the Coen brothers\u2019 classic \u201cRaising Arizona,\u201d to \u201c(500) Days of Summer\u201d (by CC English major Marc Webb \u201996<\/b>), Butte examines narratives that represent insight and blindness, love and loss, highlighting each connection and disconnection in a discussion of technique. Butte\u2019s new work represents the published extension of much of his classroom teaching and reflects his expertise in narrative theory across multiple genres of literature and film.

\n<\/a><\/b>Brazeal and his Chicago-based rock group, The Push Push, released their 13-song, debut album\u00a0\u201cTeeth\u201d\u00a0<\/i>earlier this year, with Brazeal on the vocals. The soulful rock band can best be described as Otis Redding meeting the White Stripes. They\u2019re a four-piece rock-and-soul band and the songs are… originals. The live show is just that \u2014 a show, not a quiet concert for contemplation, but a full force expressive performance.

\n<\/a><\/b>McKenna\u2019s book demystifies the Alexander Technique, which\u00a0addresses\u00a0the integrity of the back, around which the human body is organized, and our evolution as vertebrate animals. The AT promotes well-being by teaching people to recognize how they misuse themselves. By acknowledging our four-legged origins and cultivating the skills of an infant, humans can have strong, pain-free backs even in verticality.\u00a0McKenna\u2019s book,\u00a0written for \u201call head-bearing upright humans who might want to use themselves better,\u201d\u00a0includes numerous photographs and illustrations as well as quotes from more than 40 respected Alexander teachers.
