This book serves as an inspiration for wives who want to lift their husbands through prayer, but often don''t know how to start or what to say.

Lange tijd werd het schrijven van en over muziek gedaan door mannen, voor mannen. Mannelijke dominantie en seksisme zitten stevig ingebed in de canons – in literatuur, film en muziek – en vrouwen hebben altijd moeten vechten tegen een hokjesmentaliteit, tegen buitenspel gezet worden wanneer zij hun eigen ruimte wilden creëren. Nu is het tijd voor vrouwen om zich uit te spreken, hun verhaal te vertellen. En harder te schreeuwen. This Woman’s Work is een collectie essays over experimentalisten en genredoorbrekers, over vrouwen die muziek met activisme combineerden, over de geracialiseerde stijlfiguren van jazz en over hun eigen persoonlijke ervaringen. Met bijdragen van o.a. Anne Enright, Fatima Bhutto, Jenn Pelly, Leslie Jamison, Maggie Nelson, Juliana Huxtable, Yiyun Li, Ottessa Moshfegh, Margo Jefferson en Rachel Kushner.

A memoir of the life of Negro Leagues baseball player and career basketball coach, Eddie "Porky" Brooks.

Population monitoring of wood bison is challenging because of their clumped distribution within a landscape composed of a matrix of open and forested habitats. Here, we review recent advances in methods for monitoring ungulate populations which are often clumped in distribution due to their gregarious nature or due to smaller-scale habitat selection. We begin with an overview of common sampling designs and methods for collecting relevant data. We then examine statistical methods for estimating the population characteristics of spatial distribution, size and trend. Included in this review is a discussion of demographic indicators and methods to assess distribution. One of our main conclusions is that management should be based on use of all population indictors. If there are estimates of population size, survival estimates, and recruitment rates then it is possible to fit multiple-data source models to further model demography and population trends. A variety of methods are available to estimate abundance and density of bison. Of these, distance sampling is most advantageous because it does not involve marking individual bison but still allows an estimate of detection probability needed to ensure robust estimates. It also allows further modeling of density within the survey area using density surface modeling. The main challenge for distance sampling is collection of field data that meets distance sampling assumptions as well as confronting variation in density due to aggregation of bison into larger groups. Power analyses suggest that annual abundance surveys are unlikely to detect year-to-year changes in population size. Anthrax outbreaks (detected by summer surveillance flights) will trigger the need for more intensive monitoring, but otherwise abundance should not change dramatically year to year. We propose various improvements for field-based methodologies as well as estimation methods to optimize survey design for monitoring bison populations.

An edgy and evocative visual self-portrait by musician and artist Kim Gordon, indie-underground cultural icon and muse of style for four decades. As cofounder of legendary rock band Sonic Youth, best-selling author, and celebrated artist, Kim Gordon is one of the most singular and influential figures of the modern era. This personally curated scrapbook includes a foreword by Carrie Brownstein and is an edgy and evocative portrait of Gordon''s life, art, and style. Spanning from her childhood on Californian surf beaches in the ''60s and ''70s to New York''s downtown art and music scene in the ''80s and ''90s where Sonic Youth was born. Through unpublished personal photographs, magazine and newspaper clippings, fashion editorials, and advertising campaigns, interspersed with Gordon''s song lyrics, writings, artworks, private objects, and ephemera, this book demonstrates how Kim Gordon has been a role model for generations of women and men.

He is also a United States Army Veteran who served during the Korean War and afterward became a U.S. citizen. Mr. Gordon is a retired master carpenter who enjoyed art, golf and amateur radio. The picture on the front cover is a self-portrait.

Raptors can be more sensitive to disturbance during the breeding period compared to other periods. We used information from literature and unpublished phenological data collected from 1970s to 2010s to determine the critical breeding periods for each of the NWT''s 15 raptor species in each of the territory''s major eco-climatic regions. The critical period was defined as beginning two weeks prior to egg-laying and one week after the end of the nestling period. Each raptor species has different initiation and duration of critical breeding periods. These periods also differ by latitude and habitat. This information can be used to draft guidelines for restrictions on activities around raptor nests. We recommend that breeding period charts should be updated in a decade or so to adjust for earlier phenology with a changing climate. We recommend that particular efforts should be taken to estimate age of nestlings during each nest visit to allow for better estimates of breeding phenology.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Kim Gordon, founding member of Sonic Youth, fashion icon, and role model for a generation of women, now tells her story—a memoir of life as an artist, of music, marriage, motherhood, independence, and as one of the first women of rock and roll, written with the lyricism and haunting beauty of Patti Smith''s Just Kids. Often described as aloof, Kim Gordon opens up as never before in Girl in a Band. Telling the story of her family, growing up in California in the ''60s and ''70s, her life in visual art, her move to New York City, the men in her life, her marriage, her relationship with her daughter, her music, and her band, Girl in a Band is a rich and beautifully written memoir. Gordon takes us back to the lost New York of the 1980s and ''90s that gave rise to Sonic Youth, and the Alternative revolution in popular music. The band helped build a vocabulary of music—paving the way for Nirvana, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins and many other acts. But at its core, Girl in a Band examines the route from girl to woman in uncharted territory, music, art career, what partnership means—and what happens when that identity dissolves. Evocative and edgy, filled with the sights and sounds of a changing world and a transformative life, Girl in a Band is the fascinating chronicle of a remarkable journey and an extraordinary artist.

Throughout the 1980s and early ''90s, Kim Gordon—widely known as a founding member of the influential band Sonic Youth—produced a series of writings on art and music. Ranging from neo-Conceptual artworks to broader forms of cultural criticism, these rare texts are brought together in this volume for the first time, placing Gordon''s writing within the context of the artist-critics of her generation, including Mike Kelley, John Miller, and Dan Graham. In addressing key stakes within contemporary art, architecture, music, and the performance of male and female gender roles, Gordon provides a prescient analysis of such figures as Kelley, Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham, Tony Oursler, and Raymond Pettibon, in addition to reflecting on her own position as a woman on stage. The result—Is It My Body?—is a collection that feels as timely now as when it was written. This volume additionally features a conversation between Gordon and Jutta Koether, in which they discuss their collaborations in art, music, and performance. Institut für Kunstkritik Series

The first comprehensive survey of a pioneering artist, encompassing photographs, film and video, architectural models, pavilion installations, conceptual projects for magazine pages, drawings and prints, and writings. Dan Graham is one of the most significant figures to emerge from the 1960s moment of Conceptual art, with a practice that pioneered a range of art forms, modes, and ideas that are now fundamental to contemporary art. The thrust of his practice has always pointed beyond: beyond the art object, beyond the studio, beyond the medium, beyond the gallery, beyond the self. Beyond all these categories and into the realm of the social, the public, the democratic, the mass produced, the architectural, the anarchic, the humorous. Graham''s early work, Homes for America—a series of snapshots of suburban New Jersey tract housing accompanied by short parodic texts, made as a page layout for Arts magazine—announced a critical art grounded in the everyday, and it merged the artist''s interest in cultural commentary with art''s most advanced visual modes. His 1984 “video-essay” Rock My Religion traced a continuum of separatism and collective ecstasy from the American religious sect the Shakers to hard-core punk music. This volume, which accompanies a major retrospective organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, offers the first comprehensive survey of Graham''s work. The book''s design evokes magazine format and style, after Graham''s important conceptual work from the 1960s in that medium. Generously illustrated in color and black and white,Dan Graham: Beyond features eight new essays, two new interviews with the artist, a section of reprints of Graham''s own writing, and an animated manga-style “life of Dan Graham” narrative. It examines Graham''s entire body of work, which includes designs for magazine pages, drawing, photographs, film and video, and architectural models and pavilions. Essays: Chrissie Iles on Graham''s performance work • Bennett Simpson on Graham''s interest and works in rock music • Beatriz Colomina on Graham''s architectural pavilions • Rhea Anastas on Graham''s early formation and short-lived operation of the John Daniels Gallery • Mark von Schlegell on Graham''s interest in science fiction • Mark Francis on Graham''s Public Space/Two Audiences (1976) •Alexandra Midal on Graham''s conceptual works for magazine pages and magazine design • Philippe Vergne on Graham''s puppet opera Don''t Trust Anyone Over Thirty (2004) • Kim Gordon interview with Graham on their collaborations and music • Rodney Graham interview with Graham on jokes and humor in art
