Download Free Aboriginal Music in Contemporary PDF by Anna Hoefnagels Full Book and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2012-02-24 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Nations, Inuit, and Métis music in Canada is dynamic and diverse, reflecting continuities with earlier traditions and innovative approaches to creating new musical sounds. Aboriginal Music in Contemporary Canada narrates a story of resistance and renewal, struggle and success, as indigenous musicians in Canada negotiate who they are and who they want to be. Comprised of essays, interviews, and personal reflections by Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal musicians and scholars alike, the collection highlights themes of innovation, teaching and transmission, and cultural interaction. Individual chapters discuss musical genres ranging from popular styles including country and pop to nation-specific and intertribal practices such as powwows, as well as hybrid performances that incorporate music with theatre and dance. As a whole, this collection demonstrates how music is a powerful tool for articulating the social challenges faced by Aboriginal communities and an effective way to affirm indigenous strength and pride. Juxtaposing scholarly study with artistic practice, Aboriginal Music in Contemporary Canada celebrates and critically engages Canada's vibrant Aboriginal music scene.

Book excerpt: The Dane-zaa people have lived in BC's Peace River area for thousands of years. Elders documented their peoples' history and worldview, passing them on through storytelling. Language loss, however, threatens to break the bonds of knowledge transmission. At the request of the Doig River First Nations, anthropologists Robin and Jillian Ridington present a history of the Dane-zaa people based on oral histories collected over a half century of fieldwork. These powerful stories not only preserve traditional knowledge for future generations, they also tell the inspiring story of how the Dane-zaa learned to succeed and flourish in the modern world.

Download Free The Apocalypse of Ruairi Roe PDF by Mary McGowan Full Book and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the thirtieth anniversary of his parents' deaths when he was seven years old, Ruairi Roes does what he always does on this day - he takes out a photo of his mother and makes a wish that he will see her one more time. On this anniversary God grants it. Ruairi falls asleep. A little girl leads him to a place called the depository where the angel Sirreal is waiting to meet him. At the top of the building is the library, guarded by the Keeper Bookbook, which contains all the Books of Life of each of the Inhabitants. Seeing Ruairi there they rebel and seek out their own Book of Life. They tear the waxen seals off, unleashing their whole life stories as Ruairi planned them. However, some of them abandon their lives when they read the final pages and return to their rooms in the Depository. Others such as the dwarfs decide not to read the last pages and go on a quest to find a place called The Red Pavilion, traveling through strange towns such as Morbeg Dorbeg and its Parliament of Hats, the country of the Belly Rumblers, Colonel Bombois and the Rusty Knight, and Obscuranta where decent souls are persecuted, and skeletons are partially re-fleshed to make their spirits suffer, and, finally, imprisonment in the City of the Jinn. At the same time Ruairi is being shown terrible visions as Bellybulb the devil, battles to deceive and discourage him on his journey. Only when the dwarfs fall into the Pool of the Spirits where Ruairi meets his mother is the real meaning of the Red Pavilion revealed and Ruairi's apocalypse is ended.

Download Free Theories of Population Variation in Genes and Genomes PDF by Freddy Bugge Christiansen Full Book and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-23 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides an authoritative introduction to both classical and coalescent approaches to population genetics. Written for graduate students and advanced undergraduates by one of the world's leading authorities in the field, the book focuses on the theoretical background of population genetics, while emphasizing the close interplay between theory and empiricism. Traditional topics such as genetic and phenotypic variation, mutation, migration, and linkage are covered and advanced by contemporary coalescent theory, which describes the genealogy of genes in a population, ultimately connecting them to a single common ancestor. Effects of selection, particularly genomic effects, are discussed with reference to molecular genetic variation. The book is designed for students of population genetics, bioinformatics, evolutionary biology, molecular evolution, and theoretical biology--as well as biologists, molecular biologists, breeders, biomathematicians, and biostatisticians. Contains up-to-date treatment of key areas in classical and modern theoretical population genetics Provides in-depth coverage of coalescent theory Discusses genomic effects of selection Gives examples from empirical population genetics Incorporates figures, diagrams, and boxed features throughout Includes end-of-chapter exercises Speaks to a wide range of students in biology, bioinformatics, and biostatistics

Download Free Born in the Blood PDF by Brian Swann Full Book and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Europeans first encountered Native Americans, problems relating to language and text translation have been an issue. Translators needed to create the tools for translation, such as dictionaries, still a difficult undertaking today. Although the fact that many Native languages do not share even the same structures or classes of words as European languages has always made translation difficult, translating cultural values and perceptions into the idiom of another culture renders the process even more difficult. ø In Born in the Blood, noted translator and writer Brian Swann gathers some of the foremost scholars in the field of Native American translation to address the many and varied problems and concerns surrounding the process of translating Native American languages and texts. The essays in this collection address such important questions as, what should be translated? how should it be translated? who should do translation? and even, should the translation of Native literature be done at all? This volume also includes translations of songs and stories.

Download Free Fundamentals of Molecular Similarity PDF by Ramon Carbó-Dorca Full Book and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-05-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the fundamental concepts and applied methodologies of molecular similarity analysis have experienced a revolutionary development. Motivated by the increased degree of understanding of elementary molecular properties on the levels ranging from fundamental quantum chemistry to the complex interactions of biomolecules, and aided by the spectacular progress in computer technology and access to computer power, the area has opened up to many new ideas and new approaches. This book covers topics in quantum similarity approaches, electron density shape analysis methods, and it provides better theoretical understanding of molecular similarity. Additionally, quantitative shape analysis, especially activity relations (QShAR) and the prediction of the pharmacological or toxicological effects of molecules in the related context of quantum QSAR (QQSAR). This volume written by the experts in the various subfields of molecular similarity, provides a collection of the most recent ideas, advances, and methodologies. It is the hope of the Editors that by representing these topics within a single volume, the readers will find a balanced overview of the status of the field. We also hope that the book will serve as a tool for selecting and assessing the best approach for various new types of problems of molecular similarity that may arise and it will provide a set of easy references for further studies and applications.
