Book excerpt: Set amidst the tatters of post-Katrina Gulf Coast Mississippi, Waveland is a brilliantly observed portrait of our times from one of the most incisive novelists at work today. Partially retired architect Vaughn Williams does what he can to remain "viable." Battling the doldrums of midlife, he teaches an occasional class, reads the newspapers, scours the Internet, and thinks obsessively about his late father. When his ex-wife seeks refuge from her hotheaded boyfriend, Vaughn and his girlfriend, Greta, agree to let her move in, perhaps a little too cavalierly. Add in Vaughan’s annoyingly successful younger brother, who carries a torch for Vaughn’s ex-wife, and lingering suspicions about Greta’s involvement in her husband’s murder and the result is an emotionally resonant tale of mortality, love, regret, and redemption that only Barthelme could unwind.

Book excerpt: Poetry. "The word 'lush' doesn't even begin to describe these poems. And boy, do we need lushness, especially these days. The world empties us out, and only poetry can fill us up again. In one poem, the speaker lies on a bench in a park and when a groundskeeper, mistaking her for a homeless person, asks her if there's something she needs, she says yes, yes, I need everything. Are you hungry, reader? Open this book, then. A feast awaits."--David Kirby "There is a buoyant and inviting quality in Ösel Jessica Plante's debut collection WAVELAND that keeps me reading in riveted fashion these wise poems of a younger poet. There exists humor here and contemplation of human relationships in their complicated and various landscapes of place and time. Most of all Plante's WAVELAND embodies a spirit that transforms experience into something stunning and deeply moving."--Stuart Dischell "In her debut collection of poems, WAVELAND, Ösel Jessica Plante reminds us of how the world insists on making us targets of its desire: it woos us with its beauty and then departs, leaving us no choice but to keep loving it with language. Here, every poem is profound in its linguistic imagination, every poem a flash of lightning illuminating the shadow of what we are missing: a marriage, a daughter, a lost fire. What we truly find after reading these poems is the joy of aching for what we think our lives should have been: 'Let my mouth / move against your emptiness until you utter back to me / the sounds I most want to hear.' Read these poems, for they'll fill you with music you'll want to hear over and over again."--Octavio Quintanilla

Book excerpt: Fiction. African American Studies. Jewish Studies. As Beth Fine would tell her daughter years after Freedom Summer, back in 1964, she was the girl who did everything wrong. She takes part in a wade-in to desegregate a public pool, and almost drowns. When she joins Northern volunteers to staff Freedom Schools and register voters in Mississippi, she speeds down a highway, hits a cow, and ends up in jail for prostitution. Beth believes in questioning authority, and her courage and commitment to social justice both define her and lead to her undoing. Alienated from her family, she still finds herself as an outsider in a movement that exposes the limitations of her good intentions. As she strives to transcend these limitations, her commitment deepens, her questions change, and the nature of authority and justice become harder to determine. "There has been surprisingly little fiction about the endlessly fascinating, necessary history of the civil rights movement, but WAVELAND is a compelling addition to that short bookshelf. In a variety of voices, Simone Zelitch has caught the complexity, the satisfactions, and the contradictions of those urgent times, and she's quite remarkably given us more than a little of the generations before and after. Brave actions have consequences and this moving novel does honor to those who bore them."--Rosellen Brown, author of Half a Heart and Civil Wars, winner of the Janet Kafka Prize

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our increasingly globalized world, bridging cultural gaps and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds is essential. Students have more opportunities than ever to immerse themselves in foreign settings, and it is important to learn positive approaches to take part in these experiences. This new edition of Intercultural Communication engages readers interested in developing intercultural competence, with the goal of fostering diverse and vibrant communities that coexist peacefully. The authors start by establishing the foundation of competent communication and its integral role in contributing to peaceful communities. From there, they delve into how cultural differences relate to the impacts of cultural frames and emotions, as well as nonverbal and verbal communication. In the latter half of the book, the text comprehensively surveys how culture permeates and influences our lives. It explores how culture shapes the dynamics of our friendships, family relationships, classroom and workplace environments, media perceptions, and experiences when visiting cultures different from our own. By understanding the profound effects of these cultural influences, readers are better equipped to fully immerse themselves in different ways of life. Each chapter also provides a collection of boxed examples that deliver both engaging insights and entertaining anecdotes, offering ample content for stimulating discussions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extraordinary Groups has had a storied history of excellence over multiple editions. Now available from Waveland Press at the start of its fifth decade of availability, its interdisciplinary approach to groups engaged in unconventional lifestyles makes it a popular textbook choice in hundreds of college courses across the social sciences, including anthropology, religion, history, and psychology. Written by sociologists, using and illustrating sociological principles, the book is appealing because it is descriptive and explanatory rather than analytical. Descriptions of the groups are interwoven with basic sociological concepts, but systematic analysis and inductive reasoning are left to the discretion of the instructor. Extraordinary Groups is a compelling overview of the broad tapestry of social life that constitutes the United States. The illustrated, full-featured Ninth Edition includes a glossary and end-of-chapter key terms, sources on the Web, and selected readings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of rocks and the minerals that comprise them lies at the core of every geologist’s education. As more curricula combine mineralogy and petrology into a single course, Raymond and Johnson have responded with a concise introduction to the study of Earth materials. The authors have written at a level that won’t intimidate students encountering fundamental concepts for the first time, yet with enough rigor that they’ll be well prepared for future study. A broad approach to the subject that incorporates fluids and soils will appeal to instructors who teach engineering and environmental science students as well as future geoscientists. Abundant illustrations reinforce all of the ideas in the text. Many images are presented in color, with additional color images available at waveland.com/Raymond-Johnson. Problems appear throughout the book, encouraging a deeper understanding for students. Helpful appendices make it easy for instructors to assign further exercises in rock and mineral identification as well as optical mineralogy and petrography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular for more than two decades among college voice teachers and their students, this outstanding, authoritative vocal pedagogy text is an invaluable manual. It thoroughly examines the vocal problems prospective voice teachers will encounter daily in the teaching studio and choral rehearsal. The author’s approach is a unique one, based in large part on diagnostic procedures similar to those used by doctors. As each vocal fault is presented, its identifying characteristics or symptoms are stated, its possible causes are discussed, and corrective procedures are suggested. An especially valuable feature is the book’s accompanying audio files (available here for download) that contains 14 male and female voice samples of the various vocal faults discussed in the text, enabling students to better identify basic characteristic sounds associated with each fault. Current and prospective choir directors and voice teachers who need help in improving the vocal sounds of choir members or students will find this practical guide-book to be an ever-present help in time of trouble.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Van Arsdale’s four decades of worldwide applied research and community outreach as a cultural anthropologist have involved water resource development, mental health, refugee resettlement, humanitarian assistance, and human rights. With one foot in the university, he always has kept the other foot in the field. In this brief, well-crafted volume, he synthesizes and grapples with key rights debates as well as human rights injustices on four continents. Thoughtful, original, and pragmatic, Van Arsdale opens with a “Tree of Rights” metaphor to demonstrate that rights are continually growing and evolving. From its branches come new rights, changes in the perception of rights, and the reframing of rights crossculturally. Following chapters focus on fundamental human rights: the right to clean water, sanitation, and food security; the right to be free from violence, genocide, and ethnic cleansing; and the right to dignity and respect. At-risk groups covered in the book include LGBT communities, children, refugees, and victims of war. Throughout, praxis—the meaningful intersection of theory, ethics, and practice—is emphasized. Chapter coverage is enhanced by complementary and compelling “Agency Action” and “Champion” sidebars. In closing, Van Arsdale challenges readers to embrace his “Theory of Obligation,” which maintains that one must assist those whose rights have been abused, when requested and when expertise and resources permit.
