Southern Music/American Music
No full textSouthern Music/American Music is the first book to investigate the facets of American music from the South and the many popular forms that emerged from it. In this substantially revised and updated edition, Bill C. Malone and David Stricklin bring this classic work into the twenty-first century, including new material on recent phenomena such as the huge success of the soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? and the renewed popularity of Southern music, as well as important new artists Lucinda Williams, Alejandro Escovedo, and the Dixie Chicks, among others. Extensive bibliographic notes and a new suggested listening guide complete this essential study.
Shows how vital Southerners and their music were to the development of country, blues, jazz, gospel, and rock. -- Appalachian Journal
Their encyclopedic breadth of knowledge about American musical history is matched—even exceeded—by the depth of their appreciation for excellent recordings. This new edition will continue to provide insight into major cultural contributions from America’s South. -- Arkansas Review
Clear, interesting, and perfect in length and style….The study not only provides readers with a trove of information about Southern music but also provides a useful framework for absorbing information. -- Barbara Ching, University of Memphis
Now joined by Stricklin, Malone has thoroughly revised and updated his wide-ranging study first published 25 years ago. -- Choice
A superb short book. Malone has accomplished what few writers have in books about these kinds of music—the presentation of a scholarly exposition of the subject without ever succumbing to ‘hype’ on one hand or to pedantry on the other. -- Choice
No matter how much you think you know about the roots of American popular music, rest assured that Malone and Stricklin have learned more. In tracing the web of musical influences, they also provide illuminating glimpses into our social history. Their extensive list of suggested listenings is especially useful. -- Edward Morris, writer for CMT.com and former country music editor of Billboard
Alternates reams of detailed information with perceptive interpretation, making the book a social history of the U.S. through the lens of Southern music. -- Journal of Appalachian Studies
I am always amazed at the range and depth of Bill Malone’s knowledge about his subject. Southern Music/American Music is worth the price for its bibliographic essay alone. We are all indebted to the University Press of Kentucky for making this important work available again in a new and updated edition. -- Nolan Porterfield, author of Last Cavalier: The Life and Times of John Lomax
An excellent book. . . . For anyone seeking a starting point for studying southern of American popular music they would be hard pressed to find a better text. -- Southern Historianhttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_cultural_history/1012/thumbnail.jp

Oxidation of Sulfides with Pyridinium Tribromide in the Presence of Hydrated Silica Gel.
No full textA variety of sulfides have been oxidized to sulfoxides utilizing pyridinium tribromide in the presence of hydrated silica gel in a non-aqueous media. A combination of pyridinium tribromide and hydrated silica gel releases molecular bromine slowly in the reaction, affecting the oxidation. Hydrated silica gel also promotes decomposition of the bromosulfonium intermediate to the product. This procedure employs non-aqueous media for the first time in such a reaction.

The evolution & inefficiency of grammar
No full textGrammar has long been considered a language in itself and has been known for its difficulty to learn, for both new language speakers, and native ones. But if grammar is the origin of our languages, then what are the origins of grammar? This research questions the enforcement of grammar on the collegiate level, regarding grammar as a suggestive foundation for communication and comprehension, not professionalism nor literary intelligence. This research paper not only explores the history of grammar, but provides an explanation for its evolution. Understanding the history of our linguistic foundations and the forefathers of its existence, allows us to utilize grammar to its fullest capacity, whilst acknowledging the leniency of its use. This research will analyze individual examples of grammatical evolution, alongside its controversial and religious past, explaining how modern grammar was born from the mistakes of our literary predecessors. It will dive into the history of our current English alphabet, punctuation, pronouns, and general grammar construction. Additionally, this research will examine prominent figures in literature, and their impact on the evolution of grammar. These findings argue that grammar is not fundamental in terms of writing and communication, and should thus be used as a suggestion for comprehensive communication, rather than a strict guide for formal writing.Presented at the annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity while the author was an undergraduate student at Rutgers University-Camden

A Comparison of Drug Treatment for Insomnia and the Effect of Causal Attribution
No full textA double-blind comparison was conducted using typical doses of soporific agents from three drug classes and a placebo. Drugs which were used in the study included secobarbital, flurazepam hydrochloride, and thioridazine. Subjects were 40 outpatient volunteers whose primary complaint was difficulty in falling to sleep. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the three drug groups or the placebo group. One of the drugs or the placebo was administered to each subject for 3 nights. Half of the subjects in each of the four groups were told the drug had caused any observed changes in their sleep behavior and were in this way led to attribute any changed sleep behavior externally to the drug. The other half were told the drugs were not typically used to treat insomnia and changes in their sleep were due to changes made in their own behavior, thus attributing any changes in sleep behavior internally. The implication for clinicians was that a short course of drug therapy using a placebo or one of several soporific drugs might be used equally effectively to treat primary latency insomnia. Additionally, the results demonstrated that clinicians might expect the effectiveness of treatment to be maintained following treatment. Recommendations included a suggestion for future research with soporific drugs in other classes
All My Relatives: The Hunka Adoption of Jasper Milk
No full textThis research article infuses anthropological kinship theory with knowledge of traditional Lakota Sioux culture to discover the complex relationships that existed between Jasper Milk, his wife, and his Hunka (adopted) sibling. Offering a critique of the current praxis existing among genealogists conducting research in Native American lineages, the author suggests that genealogical specialization in a single tribe―in contrast to the current practice of all-encompassing ‘Native American research’―increases research success

A Psychoanalytic Developmental Psychology Approach to the Classification of Separation-Individuation in the Adult
No full textA diagnostic classification of Borderline subgroups was developed for the purpose of reducing the current ambiguities existing in the range of pathologies between the psychoses and neuroses. This classification is a questionnaire of forty items and is intended to be used in treatment settings as a measure of object relations, i.e., of ego development and arrest. The criteria which define the Borderline subgroups were derived from the normative developmental data of Mahler, Pine, and Bergman (1975). In Experiment I, raters used the Mahler criteria as operational definitions of the developmental stages and sorted 180 items taken from Benjamin's structural Analysis Social Behavior (SASB) into the four Mahler substages. Those items which were reliably sorted eight out of nine times into the same Mahler stage or substage were retained as critical items to be administered in Experiment II to three groups of subjects. These groups consisted of nineteen schizophrenic inpatients, eighteen outpatients, and twenty nonpsychiatric volunteers. These subjects rated each item of the SASB questionnaire on a scale of 0 to 100; means for each type of psychiatric group according to sex were submitted to a repeated measures 2 (sex) X 3 (group) X 4 (Mahler substage) Analysis of Variance
