This book demonstrates how Japanese Americans have developed traditions of complex silences to survive historic moments of racial and religious oppression and how they continue to adapt these traditions today. In order to examine Japanese Americans' complex relationship to silence, Brett Esaki offers four case studies of Japanese American art--gardening, origami, jazz, and monument construction--and examines how each artistic practice has responded to a historic moment of oppression. In doing so, he finds that these artistic silences incorporate and convey obfuscated religious ideas from Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Shinto, indigenous religions, and contemporary spirituality. While silence is often thought of as the binary opposite and absence of sound, this book provides a non-binary theory of silence that articulates how multidimensional silences are formed and how they function. Brett Esaki argues that non-binary silences have allowed Japanese Americans to disguise, adapt, and innovate religious resources in order to negotiate racism and oppressive ideologies from both the United States and Japan. Drawing from the fields of religious studies, ethnic studies, theology, anthropology, art, music, history, and psychoanalysis, this book highlights the ways in which silence has been used to communicate the complex emotions of historical survival, religious experience, and artistic inspiration.
Military Courts, Civil-Military Relations, and the Legal Battle for Democracy
Brett J. Kyle; Andrew G. Reiter
Routledge
2020
sidottu
The interaction between military and civilian courts, the political power that legal prerogatives can provide to the armed forces, and the difficult process civilian politicians face in reforming military justice remain glaringly under-examined, despite their implications for the quality and survival of democracy. This book breaks new ground by providing a theoretically rich, global examination of the operation and reform of military courts in democratic countries. Drawing on a newly created dataset of 120 countries over more than two centuries, it presents the first comprehensive picture of the evolution of military justice across states and over time. Combined with qualitative historical case studies of Colombia, Portugal, Indonesia, Fiji, Brazil, Pakistan, and the United States, the book presents a new framework for understanding how civilian actors are able to gain or lose legal control of the armed forces. The book’s findings have important lessons for scholars and policymakers working in the fields of democracy, civil-military relations, human rights, and the rule of law.

This concise and carefully developed text offers a reader friendly guide to the basics of time-resolved spectroscopy with an emphasis on experimental implementation. The authors carefully explain and relate for the reader how measurements are connected to the core physical principles. They use the time-dependent wave packet as a building block for understanding quantum dynamics, progressively advancing to more complex topics. The topics are discussed in paired sections, one discussing the theory and the next presenting the related experimental methods.A wide range of readers including students and newcomers to the field will gain a clear and practical understanding of how to measure aspects of molecular dynamics such as wave packet motion, intramolecular vibrational relaxation, and electron-electron coupling, and how to describe such measurements mathematically.
From an Albany hospital bed, John - forensic psychologist (retired), stay-at-home dad (his day job), and casual private detective (his other day job) - tells the story of his attempt to find Richie Curtz, a white middle-aged man, missing now for over a month. There are the usual leads for his disappearance: corruption, infidelity, health problems. But for John, the Nostalgia Detective, there is something about Richie's 'last seen wearing' Grunge-era outfit and his upcoming fortieth birthday to suggest that the 1990s itself should be added to the list of probable causes. The search takes John from Perth to the greater South West of Western Australia, as he traces the history of a man who leaves very few traces, all the while dealing with his own anxieties, paranoia, Gen-X cynicism, and some unwelcome intrusions from the past.

Estar works the crystal mines, risking life and limb to carve a path of his own before his mandatory enlistment in the military. Early curfews, faulty body modifications, and shortcuts through the abandoned tunnels beneath the city are just part of life. Helping strangers is not a part of the routine. It's best to mind one's own business around these parts.But that's how Estar met Vinta. That's how Estar's family broke apart. Accidents happen. With the Cause and New Mortai hunting him after a violent outburst, Estar's hunkered down in the belly of an unpowered Seybr Tower. He carries the stolen brain of an automaton, a pseudonym he never asked for, and the worry that he'll never be able to see his family again. But there is some semblance of hope. Estar believes the answers to his problems are sealed away in the Saint's lower levels. After nearly seven years without intentional human interaction, Estar is days away from finding his way beyond the bloodstained barrier of his past, and through the inner doors of the weathered colonial vessel. This is the picture painted by the Holo-Journal he left behind. 'The Last Will and Testament of the Gun Hand' lets the viewer see the point-of-view of a young human struggling with guilt, failure, and sacrifice, with added commentary by the author himself. Lucinda, exiled and recovering from a near-death experience, settles into her underground haven to watch Estar's story unfold. She's determined to use the Holo-Journal as a distraction from her own mistakes while she prepares for a short night's rest under the Moonslight of FaR Colony Settis.
The Phonology and Morphology of Australian Languages
Brett J. Baker; Mark Harvey
Cambridge University Press
2025

Australian languages form a large genetic group with many interesting and distinctive phonological and morphological properties. Written by two experts in the field, this is the first book-length treatment of this topic, providing an in-depth discussion of a wealth of little-known data on the sound systems and word structures of Australian Indigenous languages. It includes a critical evaluation of theoretical approaches from the 1950s up to the current day, including recent experimental, psycholinguistic and processing-based research. Each chapter addresses a major aspect of phonology, including the segmental inventories, complex phonotactic systems, alternations, prosodic phonology and morphology, the behaviour of phonological domains, and the unusual nature of sound change in Australia. The authors also add to this their own groundbreaking findings, and frame each chapter to inform future phonological research and theory. It is essential reading for scholars and students in phonology, phonetics, speech science, morphology, and language typology.
