In 1915, forty years after the original Ku Klux Klan disbanded, a former farmer, circuit preacher, and university lecturer named Colonel William Joseph Simmons revived the secret society. By the early 1920s the KKK had been transformed into a national movement with millions of dues-paying members and chapters in all of the nation's forty-eight states. And unlike the Reconstruction-era society, the 1920s-era Klan exerted its influence far beyond the South. In The Rise of the Ku Klux Klan, Rory McVeigh provides a revealing analysis of the broad social agenda of 1920s-era KKK, showing that althoug

The groundbreaking canopy-access and rain forest research at Lambir Hills National Park in Sarawak, Malaysia, has contributed an immense body of knowledge. Its major studies over more than a decade are synthesized here for the first time. The focus of this unique volume is on plant-animal interactions and some of the foundations that create and maintain tropical diversity, especially pollination and the phenomenon of the General Flowering. The work discussed has implications for tropical biology, ecology, and pollination studies. The power of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation events and drought, particularly in their effects on mutualisms, are discussed in detail.

With the close proximity of gangs and the easy access to drugs, keeping urban neighborhoods safe from crime has long been a central concern for residents. In Clean Streets, Patrick Carr draws on five years of research in a white, working-class community on Chicago's South side to see how they tried to keep their streets safe. Carr details the singular event for this community and the resulting rise of community activism: the shootings of two local teenage girls outside of an elementary school by area gang members. As in many communities struck by similar violence, the shootings led to profoun

North and South America share similar human and ecological histories and, increasingly, economic and social linkages. As such, issues of ecosystem functions and disruptions form a common thread among these cultures. This volume synthesizes the perspectives of several disciplines, such as ecology, anthropology, economy, and conservation biology. The chief goal is to gain an understanding of how human and ecological processes interact to affect ecosystem functions and species in the Americas. Throughout the text the emphasis is placed on habitat fragmentation. At the same time, the book provides an overview of current theory, methods, and approaches used in the analysis of ecosystem disruptions and fragmentation

Abstrak Amerika serikat kembali meluncurkan Kapal perusak yang bertipe USS Decatur. Menurut Penjabat Amerika Serikat, Kapal Perusak Kendali-Rudal USS Decatur sedang melakukan apa yang disebut Militer amerika sebagai Operasi Freedom Of Navigation atau operasi Kebebasan bernavigasi. Kejadian ini berada pada saat Kapal USS Decatur milik Amerika Serikat melwati jarak 12 mil laut karang Gaven dan Johnson di Kepulauan Spartly yang terpencil. Akan tetapi selama operasi yang dilakukan oleh Amerika tersebut, sebuah kapal perang China berlayar dalam jarak beberapa meter dari kapal perusak Amerika Serikat, memaksanya untuk mengubah arah, dalam pertemuan "tidak aman dan tidak profesional" karena kapal Amerika berada di perairan yang disengketakan di Laut China Selatan. Masalah dalam penelitiam ini yakni, apakah tindakan China dalam melakukan peringatan terhadap Prinsip Freedom of Navigation Operation ini merupakan pelanggaran dalam prinsip FON. Tujuan dari penelitian ini antara lain adalah Menganalisis tindakan peringatan dengan cara melakukan manuver oleh kapal perusak milik China terhadap Kapal USS Decatur milik Amerika Serikat yang melakukan operasi Freedom Of Navigation Di Wilayah Laut China Selatan temasuk pelanggaran dalam Prinsip Freedom Of Navigation atau tidak. Dengan statusnya sebagai wilayah yang di sengketakan dan belum ada putusan yang sah dari peradilan internasional tentang Laut China Selatan ini, maka wilayah diluar 12 mil Laut teritorial dan 200 mil ZEE China adalah Laut lepas sesuai dengan UNCLOS 1982. Dan sesuai dengan UNCLOS 1982, wilayah laut lepas memiliki hak yang sama bagi semua negara dan mempunyai kebebasan akses bagi semua negara. Negara yang melakukan atau membatasi negara yang menerapkan hak kebebasan bernavigasi atau Freedom of Navigation di wilayah tersebut dapat dianggap melanggar ketentuan Hukum internasional sekalipun negara tersebut telah melakukan pembangunan serta reklamasi di wilayah tersebut Kata kunci : Freedom of Navigation, Amerika Serikat, China, Laut China Selatan Abstract The United States again launched the destroyer type USS Decatur. According to the Acting United States, the USS Decatur Full-Missile Destroyer is carrying out what the American military calls Operation Freedom of Navigation. This incident occurred when the USS Decatur Ship belonging to the United States passed a distance of 12 miles of coral reefs Gaven and Johnson in the remote Spartly Islands. But during the operation carried out by the Americans, a Chinese warship sailing within a few meters of a US destroyer, forcing the ship to change direction, in an "insecure and unprofessional" meeting because the American ship was in disputed waters in the South China Sea. The problem in this research is whether China's action in commemorating the Freedom of Navigation Operation Principle is a violation of the FON principle. The purpose of this research is to analyze the warning actions by maneuvering by Chinese destroyers of USS Decatur ships owned by the United States that carry out Freedom of Navigation operations in the South China Sea Area whether or not violating Freedom of Navigation Principles. With its status as a disputed territory and there is no valid ruling from this international court of law about the South China Sea, the territory outside of the 12-mile territorial Sea and 200 miles of China EEZ is the high seas according to UNCLOS 1982. And according to 1982 UNCLOS, The high seas have the same rights for all countries and have freedom of access for all countries. Countries that carry out or restrict countries that apply the right of freedom of navigation in that region may be considered to violate the provisions of international law even if the country has undertaken development and reclamation in the region Keyword : Freedom of Navigation, United States, China, South China Sea

In a world where is increasingly made the finding of a general increase of spatial mobility of individuals and where positive social representations of mobility tend to predominate, it is necessary to continue research that began deconstruct these discourses, highlighting the inequalities of access to spatial mobility and showing how it could participate in the reinforcement of the social hierarchy (Orfeuil, 2004; Veschambre, 2004; Urry, 2005; Le Breton, 2006). International mobility for studies, growing phenomenon with many challenges, is a topical object of analysis that enable to improve knowledge about the relation between social inequalities and spatial mobilities. From the results of a survey conducted in Brittany, it appears that access to the migration for studies is unequal because of the need to mobilize social resources and because of the discriminatory admission policies conducted by the North countries to students from the South. Given the fact that a study trip abroad helps to facilitate the upward mobility of individuals (social recognition of international skills, acquisition of prestigious diploma for students from South and emerging countries), these inequalities of access confirm the idea that international mobility for studies is a factor of reproduction of elites. However, the importance of student migration from the South to the North, despite all the economic and legal barriers, attests that the ability to be mobile is not the sole driver of spatial mobility of individuals. The analysis of the dwelling of international students during their stay has shown that inequalities in living conditions were inadequate to understand the very contrasting spatial mobilities between Northern students and students from the South. Highlighting the impact of cultural relations to mobility and meanings of the migration for studies showed that the spatial mobility of individuals was also strongly conditioned by social representations ; Dans un monde où il est fait le constat d'une augmentation généralisée de la mobilité spatiale des individus et où les représentations sociales positives de la mobilité tendent à prédominer, il est nécessaire de poursuivre les recherches qui déconstruisent ces discours en mettant en évidence les inégalités d'accès à la mobilité spatiale et en montrant en quoi celle-ci pouvait participer à la hiérarchisation des sociétés (Orfeuil, 2004 ; Veschambre, 2004 ; Urry, 2005 ; Le Breton, 2006). La mobilité internationale pour études, phénomène en plein essor et aux multiples enjeux, constitue un objet d'analyse d'actualité qui permet d'approfondir les connaissances sur le rapport inégalités sociales/mobilités spatiales. A partir des résultats d'une enquête menée en Bretagne, il apparaît que l'accès à la migration pour études est inégal du fait de la nécessaire mobilisation de ressources sociales et à cause des politiques d'accueil discriminantes menées par les pays du Nord envers les étudiants du Sud. Etant donné qu'un séjour d'études à l'étranger permet de faciliter la promotion sociale des individus (reconnaissance sociale des compétences internationales, acquisition d'un diplôme prestigieux pour les étudiants du Sud et des pays émergents), ces inégalités d'accès confirment l'idée que la mobilité internationale pour études représente un facteur de reproduction des élites. Cependant, l'importance des migrations étudiantes des pays du Sud vers les pays du Nord, en dépit de tous les obstacles économiques et juridiques, atteste que la capacité à être mobile ne constitue pas le seul moteur de la mobilité spatiale des individus. L'analyse de l'habiter des étudiants internationaux pendant leur séjour a permis d'observer que les inégalités de conditions de vie étaient insuffisantes pour comprendre les mobilités spatiales très contrastées entre les étudiants du Nord et les étudiants du Sud. La mise en évidence de l'impact des rapports culturels à la mobilité et des significations de la migration pour études a montré que la mobilité spatiale des individus était aussi fortement conditionnée par les représentations sociales

In 1823, as the first American missionaries arrived in Hawaiʻi, the archipelago was experiencing a profound transformation in its rule, as oral law that had been maintained for hundreds of years was in the process of becoming codified anew through the medium of writing. The arrival of sailors in pursuit of the lucrative sandalwood trade obliged the aliʻi (Chiefs) of the islands to pronounce legal restrictions on foreigners' access to Hawaiian women. Assuming the new missionaries were the source of these rules, sailors attacked two mission stations, fracturing relations between merchants, missionaries, and sailors, while Native rulers remained firmly in charge. In The Kingdom and the Republic, Noelani Arista (Kanaka Maoli) uncovers a trove of previously unused Hawaiian language documents to chronicle the story of Hawaiians' experience of encounter and colonialism in the nineteenth century. Through this research, she explores the political deliberations between aliʻi over the sale of a Hawaiian woman to a British ship captain in 1825 and the consequences of the attacks on the mission stations. The result is a heretofore untold story of Native political formation, the creation of Indigenous law, and the extension of chiefly rule over natives and foreigners alike. Relying on what is perhaps the largest archive of written Indigenous language materials in North America, Arista argues that Hawaiian deliberations and actions in this period cannot be understood unless one takes into account Hawaiian understandings of the past-and the ways this knowledge of history was mobilized as a means to influence the present and secure a better future. In pursuing this history, The Kingdom and the Republic reconfigures familiar colonial histories of trade, proselytization, and negotiations over law and governance in Hawaiʻi

Abstract. We investigate rogue waves in buoy and radar measurement data from shallow depths in the southern North Sea. We analyze the role of solitons for the occurrence of rogue waves by computing discrete soliton spectra using the nonlinear Fourier transform for the Korteweg–de Vries equation with vanishing boundary conditions. In a previous study, data from a single measurement site were considered. The comparison of soliton spectra from time series with and without rogue waves suggested a connection between the shape of the soliton spectrum and the occurrence of rogue waves. In this study, results for two additional sites are reported.
