In the post-Civil Rights era, there is a temptation to assume that racism is no longer the pressing social concern in the United States that it once was. The contributors show that racism has not fallen from the forefront of American society, but is manifest in a different way. According to the authors in this volume, in 21st century, skin color has come to replace race as an important cause of discrimination. This is evidenced in the increasing usage of the term "people of color" to encompass people of a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. The editor has compiled a diverse group of contributors to examine racism from an interdisciplinary perspective. Contributions range from the science of racism, from its perceived biological basis at the end of the 19th century, to sociological studies its new forms in the 21st century. The result is a work that will be invaluable to understanding the challenges of confronting Racism in the 21st Century .

Die musikalische Akustik bietet die einmalige Möglichkeit, Wissenschaft und Kunst miteinander vereint zu erleben. Dieses Buch ist für ein einführendes Studium dieser im akademischen Lehrbetrieb oft vernachlässigten Materie gedacht - indem es weder wissenschaftliche noch musikalische Vorkenntnisse voraussetzt, ist es lesbar für den Neuling, aber gleichzeitig von Interesse für den erfahrenen Musiker. Seine klare Struktur, die einzigartige didaktische Auslegung und die Aktualität bezüglich des gegenwärtigen Forschungsstandes laden nicht nur zum konsequenten Durcharbeiten, sondern auch zum Nachschlagen ein. Alle physikalischen Aspekte der Erzeugung, Wahrnehmung, Synthese und Ausbreitung von Schall und Klang und ihr Bezug zur musikalischen Praxis werden in einer Form dargelegt, die das Buch zum Vademecum für Lehrende und Lernende, für Tonmeister, Tonsatzlehrer, ausübende Musiker und Komponisten macht.
