It draws from ethnographic data collected from 18 months of research edgework involving active participation in the field. Firstly, it positions graffiti as craft work involving practice, skilled use of tools, insightful judgments and use of the body. Secondly, because graffiti can provoke strong pract…

Gravel cycling craft and the senses
Although cycling has been researched at the interactional level, there is scant literature regarding embodiment, and the somatic experiences from rider-bike-ground interactions. Via an ethnographic approach using video obtained from participant observation as a “graveller” sensory practices are examined. Firstly, the research is positioned with the literature on craft studies. Secondly the domains of action namely space, place and the body are th…

The Glory of the Nation”
Heated controversies in the United States over the 1619 Project’s construction of a race-centered master narrative of American history highlight the need to locate public debates over this topic in historical context. This article analyzes the concerted efforts of two black Union veterans, George Washington Williams and Joseph T. Wilson, to remember African Americans’ wartime military service at a critical moment in the progress of Civil War memo…
Understanding early horse transport in eastern Eurasia through analysis of equine dentition
Across Eurasia, horse transport transformed ancient societies. Although evidence for chariotry is well dated, the origins of horse riding are less clear. Techniques to distinguish chariotry from riding in archaeological samples rely on elements not typically recovered from many steppe contexts. Here, the authors examine horse remains of Mongolia's Deer Stone-Khirigsuur (DSK) Complex, comparing them with ancient and modern East Asian horses used f…

Factors associated with current and severe pain among people living with HIV
The relationship between pain and mental health is complex. Thus, future research is needed to determine if pain treatments may reduce mental health symptoms or if treatments can be targeted to address both issues simultaneously
The relationship between individual characteristics and HIV-related stigma in adults living with HIV
The implications of these findings reveal that certain individuals are more vulnerable to stigma. Researchers could consider distinct stigma interventions strategies based on the characteristics of specific individuals (i.e., targeting depression, disability, sexual orientation, avoidant coping, racial/ethnic groups, and youth) in Florida
British attitudes towards the United States since 1941
Hitler’s American Model
By 1900 the fragile racial promise engendered by Union military victory over the pro-slavery Confederacy in the American Civil War had dissipated. The United States strode the world stage as a vigorous imperialist power committed to fashionable notions of Anglo-Saxon superiority. At home, the federal government was complicit in the wholesale subjugation of non-whites, not least the country’s Native Americans, who were corralled onto squalid reser…
Matthew E. Stanley. The Loyal West
Once upon a time, long ago, white northerners who had participated in the great struggle to defeat the southern Confederacy in the 1860s told themselves—and others—many stories about their wartime conduct. Referring routinely to “the War of the Rebellion,” they constructed the victors’ narrative of the American Civil War. Unlike the South’s Lost Cause that continues to resonate in modern controversies over displays of the Confederate battle flag …

Disentangling climatic and anthropogenic controls on global terrestrial evapotranspiration trends
We examined natural and anthropogenic controls on terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) changes from 1982 to 2010 using multiple estimates from remote sensing-based datasets and process-oriented land surface models. A significant increasing trend of ET in each hemisphere was consistently revealed by observationally-constrained data and multi-model ensembles that considered historic natural and anthropogenic drivers. The climate impacts were simulat…
Unraveling the special relationship
This article contributes to the scholarly literature on Anglo-American relations in the 1960s by investigating elite and grassroots British responses to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, on 22 November 1963. Most historians working on this topic regard the early years of the decade as a high point in the evolution of the so-called “special relationship” between the two countries – an association epitomized by the br…

Radiocarbon results from houses, pits, and burials at the SunWatch site, Dayton, Ohio, are presented within an interpretative Bayesian statistical framework. The primary model incorporates dates from archaeological features in an unordered phase and uses charcoal outlier modeling (Bronk Ramsey 2009b) to account for issues of wood charcoal 14 C dates predating their context.

A Late Encounter with the Civil War
On the Battlefield of Memory
Frank Buckles, the last surviving US veteran of the Great War, died in February 2011 at the age of 110. An ambulance and motorcycle driver on the Western Front, he was buried with full military honours in Arlington National Cemetery, with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden in attendance. Steven Trout’s thoughtful study of Americans’ collective memory of the First World War makes it clear that the ‘doughboys’ of 1917–18 had bee…

The World Environmental Education Congress 2007
The breadth and depth of the environmental crisis and the consequently wide and inclusive interpretations of ‘sustainable development’ has promoted a disparate range of academic responses encouraging a loose interpretation of environmental education and Education for Sustainable Development. This in turn reduces the capacity for the development of a clearly defined discourse and for a sufficiently robust debate conducive of effective change. This…

Awake the Beloved Country
While direct contact did take place between Martin Luther King and Albert Lutuli, two of the premier black leaders of the 1950s and 1960s, the purpose of this essay is not primarily to add to the growing body of evidence of U.S.-South African links. Its principal aim is to use Lutuli's career as president-general of the African National Congress (ANC) between 1952 and 1967 as a foil in order to shed light on King's contested role in the Civil Rig…

The cost of malnutrition in Jamaica
Economic losses caused by malnutrition are identified. The financial costs of child wastage and treatment of malnutrition in Jamaica is conservatively estimated to be U.S. $1.5 million. Increasing the nutritional intake may raise productivity and increase the gross national product by one half of one per cent. If this was to be achieved the financial resources of Jamaica would be supplemented by more than U.S. $4 million. The identification of th…

The Evolution of the Food and Nutrition Problems of the Palestine Refugees
The paper describes first the food and nutrition problems of the Palestine refugees during the first two decades of their exile (1948–1970), using mostly unpublished and archival data. In the 70s and 80s, a number of surveys were carried out, showing an unmistakable improvement in the general nutritional status of young children. Weight-for-height, and recently height-for-age, all improved; vitamin A deficiency, a scourage in the early years, dis…

Sweet Land of Liberty
A powerful and moving account of the campaign for civil rights in modern America. Robert Cook is concerned less with charismatic leaders like Martin Luther King, and more with the ordinary men and women who were mobilised by the grass-roots activities of civil-rights workers and community leaders. He begins with the development of segregation in the late nineteenth century, but his main focus is on the continuing struggle this century. It is a dr…

(Un)Furl That Banner
BY THE LATE 1950s THE AMERICAN SOUTH HAD REACHED ANOTHER crossroads in its eventful history. De jure segregation, a cornerstone of southern life in the first half of the twentieth century, was under attack. Powerful instruments of change such as economic modernization, federal intervention, and a burgeoning black-led civil rights movement had begun to weaken the grip that segregation exerted on the lives of local people. In recent years some hist…

Telling Accounts of Wound Infections
Drawing from an interpretive study this article reports on an investigation into the way that patients receive information about having a surgical wound infection. The study findings indicated that patients often struggle to gain this information and health professionals use a range of strategies to avoid rather than engage the patient in discussions about their infection. A sociological analysis of this avoidance draws upon the literature pertai…
