(16. September 2006)
ist dieses Buch gerade neu erschienen: The Praeger Handbook of Transsexuality: Changing Gender to Match Mindset
von Rachel Ann Heath, 260 Seiten, ca. 42 Euro (dieser Preis stand zumindest in der Ankündigungsmail, auf der Website werden 108,71 Euro gefordert. Kann eigentlich nur ein Tippfehler sein). Über die Qualität des Inhalts ist uns nichts bekannt. Hier die Synopsis:
When the movie "Transamerica" - about a pre-operative male to female transsexual - won two Golden Globe Awards and was nominated for an Academy Award in early 2006, cheers went up round the world, cheers from the world's growing transsexual community. Outsiders may believe that transsexuals - people born with one gender's sexual organs, yet drawn physically, psychologically, and spiritually to life as a member of the opposite gender - are more uncommon than is actually the case. Gender reassignment surgery is being performed worldwide, from North America to England, Switzerland, Australia, Thailand and Hong Kong. In this unprecedented book, Professor Heath introduces us to the transsexual mindset, explaining how the identity discord develops, and to the most recent research that suggests a biological, and not purely psychological, basis for transsexuality. Heath also details the psychological, social, family and legal issues transsexuals face. The history of transsexuality is presented, as are associated legal and human rights issues. Diagrams depicting the major elements in Gender Reassignment Surgery (GRS) are included, as are appendices listing support groups and other resources for transsexual men and women, and family members. This work also includes a link to a list of surgeons worldwide performing GRS.

By Áine Kenny
This Christmas, I was hoping someone would get me Michelle Obama’s memoir. She was a woman who I had long admired for her grace, strength and wisdom. It mustn’t be easy having a charismatic husband, let alone being the First Lady. I wanted to find out more about her life. Luckily, my dad prevailed and bought me a copy.
The book is quite long, 421 pages. It’s only available in hardback at the moment. The cover features a smiling picture of Michelle, honestly, she is stunning. As for the writing, it is brilliant. Michelle is a trained lawyer, and it shows. Her book is clear, concise, meticulous and thoughtful. The memoir is divided into three sections: Becoming Me, which details her childhood, Becoming Us, which details her relationship with Barack and his early political career, and Becoming More, which focuses on their time in the White House.
My favourite part of the book is probably when Michelle describes her childhood and Barack starting his political career. She had a modest upbringing, two strong-willed and hardworking parents, who ensured their kids got the best opportunities: both Michelle and her brother went to Princeton. Her relationship to the city of Chicago is also most intriguing, she describes up-close the gentrification of the neighbourhoods that surrounded her and white flight. She analyses her career trajectory with a fine-toothed comb: at twenty-five, she was a high-up lawyer and Sidley and Austin, a big-wig Chicago law firm, with her own office. But she wasn’t happy, her job wasn’t meaningful. And this is where it gets really interesting.
A major theme that permeates throughout the book is the idea of helping people and meaningful public service. Michelle leaves the law firm to work for Chicago’s Mayor, later she works in community outreach programmes, getting youth leadership schemes off the ground, getting poorer folks healthcare. She has a completely different approach to her husband: she believed that she could do good and give back to her community without getting involved with politics.
In fact, she hates politics! She didn’t even want Barack to run for office, as their kids were too young and it would mean he would have limited time for family. She even discusses very personal things such as marriage counselling, miscarriages and IVF. This rawness is welcomed, this is an honest memoir; she even admits she only “allowed” Barack to run for president because she never thought he would win, because (to paraphrase her) at the end of the day, he was a black man in America.
The role of First Lady is also scrutinised in the book. This role has no official guide map, but Michelle decided to spearhead campaigns that focused on military families and obesity. I was surprised to see how pro-military she was, not just with reference to honouring the servicemen. She doesn’t critically analyse why these young men have been maimed, or why these wives are now widows. Surely, she sees that their sacrifices are not simply to “keep America safe”, but a part of a much larger problem of a military industrial complex, with American troops fighting in unnecessary wars? This was my one criticism of the book.
The one thing she isn’t afraid to criticise is her husband or politics. She is a neat freak, while Barack is a messy person, who even used to be a serial smoker. She gives out about when he failed to write his book on time, and didn’t study enough to pass the bar exam. The book really gives a great insight into his character and their relationship: he arrived as an intern in Sidley and Austin, she was his mentor (although three years his junior). Both went to predominantly white colleges, both excelled at lawyering, but it wasn’t where their true passions lay.
Some of the most poignant parts of the book are about how she worried about the effects public office was having on her children, how she struggled to cope with all of the criticism the media and trolls were throwing at her, how she had to get media training to make herself seem softer and more likeable, to avoid the unfair “angry black woman” stereotype. Her candidness is refreshing, also, she doesn’t mince words about Donald Trump: she calls him out as a bully.
The book concludes with her saying: “There’s power in allowing yourself to become known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice. And there’s grace in being willing to know and hear others.” If this isn’t an excellent summation of what we should all strive to be, I don’t know what is.

Jan Wade: Soul Power
- Deanna Bowen, Wayde Compton, Daina Augaitis, Siobhan McCracken Nixon
- Layflat Binding
- 170 x 120mm
- Spring 2022
Jan Wade: Soul Power accompanies the highly-anticipated exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery (July 10, 2021 to March 13, 2022). The exhibition is a survey of Vancouver artist Jan Wade’s rich body of work from the 1990s to the present. Jan Wade: Soul Power marks the first solo exhibition by a Black female artist in the 90-year history of the Gallery. The book both honours and documents her compelling but underrecognized practice, which reflects her lived experience as an African Canadian person of mixed cultural heritage.
Comprising mixed media assemblages, paintings, sculptural pieces and textiles made from found or ready-made objects and recycled materials, her art explores the places and practices of her ancestors alongside contemporary political concerns and social movements such as Black Lives Matter. The book will serve as an important resource and record of her more than three decade career. Featuring new photography of works in the exhibition, scholarly essays by prominent artist Deanna Bowen and writer Wayde Compton, and Wade’s own writings, the publication will reveal her important contribution to the history of art making in Vancouver and redress her place in contemporary Canadian art.
was born in 1952 in Hamilton, Ontario, to a Black Canadian father with familial origins in the American South and a Canadian mother of European descent. Raised in a relatively segregated but close-knit Black community within the city, her formative years were heavily influenced by her local African Methodist Episcopal Church. She was also greatly influenced by Southern US Black culture and aesthetics from the perspectives of her paternal grandmother and great-grandmother. Wade studied at the Ontario College of Art and Design (1972–76). She moved to Vancouver in 1983 and became part of the underground art and music scene in the city, with its innovative performances, do-it-yourself art shows, anti-establishment ethos and spontaneous happenings. During this period Wade began her research into African diasporic spiritual practices and decided she wanted her art to reflect where she came from and who she is, commencing her unique artistic journey marked by self-sufficiency, empowerment, hope and radical joy. The artist produces a wide range of mixed-media works made entirely from found or readymade objects and recycled materials.
Deanna Bowen is a descendant of two Alabama and Kentucky born Black Prairie pioneer families from Amber Valley and Campsie, Alberta. Bowen’s family history has been the central pivot of her auto-ethnographic works since the early 1990s. She makes use of a repertoire of artistic gestures in order to define the Black body and trace its presence and movement in place and time. Recently, her work has involved close examination of her family’s migration and their connections to Vancouver’s Hogan’s Alley and Black Strathcona, the “All-Black” towns of Oklahoma, the Kansas Exoduster migrations and the Ku Klux Klan in Canada and the US. She is a recipient of numerous accolades including a 2020 Governor General Award for Visual and Media Arts and the 2021 Scotiabank Photography Award. Her writing, interviews and art have been published in Canadian Art, The Capilano Review, The Black Prairie Archives and Transition Magazine.
is the author of 49th Parallel Psalm, a finalist for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize; Performance Bond; After Canaan: Essays on Race Writing and Region, which was nominated for a City of Vancouver Book Award; and The Outer Harbour: Stories. He also edited the anthology Bluesprint: Black British Columbian Literature and Orature. He is a co-founder of the Hogan’s Alley Memorial Project, an organization that has collaborated on multiple projects intent on preserving the public memory of Vancouver’s original Black community. Compton is the former director of the creative writing program at SFU Continuing Studies and is now teaching Creative Writing at Douglas College in New Westminster, BC.
was Chief Curator/Associate Director at the Vancouver Art Gallery from 1996–2017 leading a team of curators to conceive and develop the Gallery’s exhibitions, publications, collections and public programs. Among the over 30 exhibitions she curated or co-curated were solo projects of Rebecca Belmore, Douglas Coupland, Stan Douglas, Charles Edenshaw, Geoffrey Farmer, Kimsooja, Muntadas, Brian Jungen, Ian Wallace, Gillian Wearing and Zhu Jinshi. She was formerly Director of Visual Arts at the Banff Centre for the Arts, where she organized thematic residencies as well as spoken word, pirate radio and performance art projects, and has held curatorial positions at Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff; Western Front, Vancouver; Convertible Showroom, Vancouver; and Franklin Furnace, New York.

The past two to three years, I was drawn to, and started collecting, old books and documents, ledgers, visual encyclopedias. I wanted to find a way to use some of the material in my work. After collecting for a while, I came to the realization that all the images and written material before me was really a metaphor for what I wanted to put across. It took quite a while before I found a way to use the materials in my paintings, one aspect of the fascination for me was the fact that some of these very old documents were hugely important to the person who authored or owned them and through time, they become more or less, old pieces of paper in an antique store. My paintings are documents now too. They are hugely important to me, but where will they end up?


Redefining the Sacred publishes books on religion as well as cultural issues having to do with religion. It covers the history of religion, comparative study, archaeology and related topics.
This imprint publishes both non-fiction and ‘faction’. We are happy to look at ideas that describe the lives of mythical characters in everyday language. We do not require that these are closely tied either to the original myths or to recorded history.
For non-fiction, however, we require a high standard of accuracy. References should be provided where appropriate in the text and a keyword list will be needed to develop an index. A glossary may also me required, where less well-known terminology is used.
This is not an academic imprint but a popular one; writing should be engaging and not obscure, excessively technical or academic.

Differentiation and diversity have become important policy issues in re/structuring contemporary higher education systems. Arguably, diversity is the product of public policy applied to the nexus of teaching, learning and research. On a deeper level, diversity implies a conscious set of social, political and academic values and beliefs, including social inclusion, elitism or anti-elitism, responsiveness to new constituencies, greater student choices, transformative learning, and academic oligarchy: what we might think of as an ideological or a cultural view of diversity.
Chinese higher education has experienced an unprecedented expansion since the late 1990s. The expansion has primarily been driven by government policy and has had a tremendous impact on differentiation and diversity of the Chinese higher education system. At the same time, the Chinese government has launched a number of national elite university initiatives, concentrating public resources in a relatively small number of selected universities in order to expand and heighten their research capacities in a short timeline. This has, in turn, triggered worldwide campaigns for world-class universities.
Research now stands out as a key determinant of academic reputation, financial status, and international orientation. This vertical diversification is further complicated by the emergence and growth of such institutional fabrics as higher vocational colleges, private institutions, transnational higher education entities, and more recently universities of applied sciences. Against such backdrop, this study investigates:
- What distinctive features characterize diversification following China's massification of higher education since the late 1990s?
- What impact is rendered upon structural diversity and classification of Chinese higher education system?
- How does the Chinese experience of differentiation and diversification compare with patterns identified elsewhere?
This study draws on organizational analysis and cultural studies of higher education institutions and disciplines. Analysing diversity and classification of Chinese higher education system using these theoretical frameworks will creates a more sophisticated account of the different varieties of academic enterprises and their associated values of teaching, research and service. Regarding differentiation and diversification in higher education, the articulation between structures and cultures promises the potential of enhancing our understanding not only of how a given system functions but also of how far a particular policy initiative is effectively implemented within the system.
This study comprises three phases over a 3-year period. Phase I centres on an empirical investigation of diversification of Chinese higher education at system level, with data collected from publicly available sources such as statistics yearbooks/bulletins and government policy documents as well as interviews with policy makers at Chinese education authorities. Phase II involves the development of 15 case studies: 3 national elite universities, 3 local (provincial) universities, 3 colleges, 3 private institutions, and 3 transnational higher education entities, through interviews with subjects from relevant constituencies on those campuses. Such case studies are supplementary to the empirical investigation at system level. Phase III focuses on knowledge mobilization / dissemination through publications in scholarly journals and presentations at academic conferences, as well as workshops with Canadian university leaders and policy makers who should be informed of higher education diversity and classification in China, which is now Canada's single largest source of international students and a major origin of skilled immigrants.


This site is slightly bare at the moment, however, I've been posting a fair bit lately to my blog.
For the moment, though, you might want to check out the US Navy Electronic Warfare Manual I collected (and put back up on the web to keep it from being made unavailable) as well as the entire NEETS (Naval Electrical and Electronic Training Series) set of electrical and electronic technician training manuals. I also have up a small collection of miscellaneous rescued documents.
For the more philosophically minded, I also have my collection of occult documents up. While I haven't finished doing all the PDF conversions I intend to do, there are still a few interesting things up here.Many of my documents are in PDF format, so you'll need either Adobe Acrobat Reader or Sumatra PDF to read/use them. Note: if you are using an older computer to access these e-books, I recommend using Sumatra rather than Adobe's reader, as it is considerably faster on older hardware.


The Philippines Nuclear Journal (PNJ) is the official publication of the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (formerly the Philippine Atomic Energy Commission). It is devoted exclusively to accounts of researches, studies and activities on nuclear energy and related fields carried out in the Philippines, or by Filipinos in investigations done outside the country.
As of date, the publication of PNJ is now in its 14th volume. The quality of the Journal is maintained through strict reviews of technical papers submitted for publication by the Board of Editors and Panels of External Editors.
It is envisioned that through PNJ, scientists could harness the potentials of resolving the socio-economic challenges in the country and maximize the resources available in meeting these challenges.
The 2004 issue of PNJ includes five technical papers, five short communications and a commemorative essay. The commemorative essay on the experimental detonation of a nuclear device in 1958 in circumterrestrial space is dedicated in honor of the first death anniversary of Ilya Progogine, the 1977 Nobel Laureate for Chemistry,. The technical papers focus on different applications of nuclear S&T in agriculture, environment and physical science while the various short communications are initial studies that form the core of comprehensive investigative works in the future.
The PNJ is distributed to various school libraries and other government agencies. Its publication is funded by the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute.

Over 36 days, Mark and writer Karen Folger Jacobs lived on the ward to photograph and interview the women, considered the state’s most dangerous.

We were horrified at the thought of what we might become after a year or two of confinement and therapy on Ward 81.”

The Last Wish (Polish: Ostatnie życzenie) is the first (in its fictional chronology; published second in original Polish) of the two collections of short stories (the other being Sword of Destiny) preceding the main Witcher Saga, written by Polish fantasy writer Andrzej Sapkowski. The first Polish edition was published in 1993 and the first English edition was first published in 2007. The book has also been translated into several other languages.
The collection contains six short stories interspersed with a continuing frame story: Geralt of Rivia, after having been injured in battle, rests in a temple. During that time he has flashbacks to recent events in his life, with each flashback forming a short.
TABLE OF CONTENT


Les Arts Florissants have now turned to the madrigals of Caldara. The appearance La Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo, an oratorio recorded by René Jacobs (Harmonia Mundi), seems to have heralded a revival of interest in Caldara. What do you think of his works?
He was a warm-hearted, learned man, one among many forgotten minor musical masters. I discovered his music in the manuscript of an old Austrian edition reproduced in an immense encyclopedia retranscribed at the end of the last century. Here I found madrigals with continuo composed in the eighteenth century for the court of Vienna, which employed Caldara. Such works maintain an unbroken tradition which more generally associated with the end of the sixteenth century for the polyphonic madrigal and of the seventeenth century for the Books of Monteverdi. And yet the madrigal persists well beyond that time. But you spoke of Mozart somewhat earlier, and of Così in particular. Così is, in a certain fashion, an uninterrupted series of madrigals for five or six voices linked by a clever recitative and accompanied by subtle orchestration.
Let’s next consider France, which elaborated its own conception of lyric theater dominated by recitative, ballets and choirs. This “totality” (song, music, collective scenes, spectacular scenery effects, and machinery devices) finds its expression in the work of Lully: poetry, graciousness, even, nostalgia. What are your own impressions of Lully?
Lully appeared on the scene at precisely the right moment. He appeared when French theater had reached its zenith: Garnier, Corneille, Racine. His most important contribution was the elaboration of a truly French recitative; he grafted the Italian recitative onto the French language while at the same time inspired by the declamation of the alexandrine verse of the spoken theater. He respected French taste for a declaimed text, but of a specific text, appropriate to be set to music. In this Quinault was a remarkable accomplice. The counterpart of the plot declaimed in recitative is the divertissement, the interlude in dance and song, French ballet, Italian interludes and, as we have already said, the importance of the chorus. All this carefully constructed architecture had been absorbed by him during his youth in that most cosmopolitan city, Paris. Lully observed, listened, retained. He familiarized himself with the theater. He was very ambitious and had a lively curiosity. One should not, however, misunderstand him. Art lovers in the seventeenth century were hardly dupes. A famous and favored musician is nonetheless an excellent musician. There is no success without talent, especially during that period. The talented Lully also had flair; he was a thorough courtier, a master of social trends and niceties who applied them with tact, but most of all, musically and dramatically, he moves with ease, indeed with genius.
Which of his works do you prefer?
I love all of Lully. He excels in his ballets. I also very much like his religious music, the petits and his grands motets.

The Grand Inquisitor's Manual: A History of Terror In The Name Of God was the second book by Jonathan Kirsch that I have read. It is a horrifying history of human cruelty that is full of fascinating details. Kirsch discusses the three phases of the Inquisition: the Medieval Inquisition that persecuted the Cathars and other heretics; the Roman Inquisition, a later push against heresy motivated by the Protestant revolution that included the trial of Galileo; and the Spanish Inquisition that persecuted conversos, Jewish and Muslim converts to Christianity. Kirsch goes on to discuss other Inquisition-like persecutions. He talks about the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany, which stressed purity of the blood just like the Spanish Inquisition. In the U.S., the New England Witch Trials and the House Un-American Activities Committee stressed the naming of names before a confession was deemed acceptable, just like the Medieval Inquisition.
Though covering a dark chapter in human history, this book was a great read. Kirsch includes citations of actual records from the Inquisition, giving a human face to both the absurdity of it all, as well as the suffering. I am definitely going to look for more books by Mr. Kirsch!
