Boy-Wives and Female Husbands
Among the many myths created about Africa, the claim that homosexuality and gender diversity are absent or incidental is one of the oldest and most enduring. Historians, anthropologists, and many contemporary Africans alike have denied or overlooked African same-sex patterns or claimed that such patterns were introduced by Europeans or Arabs. In fact, same-sex love and nonbinary genders were an…

Boys don't cry!
Ce livre analyse les discours « masculinistes », tels qu'ils s'affirment par exemple dans certaines organisations de pe?res divorce?s. Co?te? scientifique, l'enjeu est clair : il s'agit de poursuivre le travail de de?construction de la domination masculine en montrant que celle-ci n'a rien de naturel. Elle suppose des investissements et implique des cou?ts, pour les femmes bien su?r, mai…

Boxing, Masculinity and Identity
Boxing is infused with ideas about masculinity, power, race and social class, and as such is an ideal lens through which social scientists can examine key modern themes. In addition, its inherent contradictions of extreme violence and beauty and of discipline and excess have long been a source of inspiration for writers and film makers. Essential reading for anyone interested in the soc…

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus and Related Pestiviruses
The pestiviruses encompass some of the most economically important viral infections in the cattle, swine, and sheep industries worldwide. Discovered more than 70 years ago, bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and classical swine fever virus (CSFV) were long the main concern, but many new pestiviruses have emerged in recent years, which may also present additional threats to biosecurity and food …

Bounds for optimization of the reflection coefficient by constrained optimiza…
The purpose of this book is twofold. Our starting point is the design of layered media with a prescribed reflection coefficient. In the first part of this book we show that the space of physically realizable reflection coefficients is rather restricted by a number of properties. In the second part we consider a constrained approximation problem in Hardy spaces. This can be viewed as an optimiza…

Boundary-Layer Processes Producing Mesoscale Water-Vapour Variability over a …
Over complex terrain, spatial inhomogeneities of pre-convective atmospheric conditions occur due to convection and mesoscale transport processes. This thesis focuses on the identification of these processes over the mountainous island of Corsica and on the evaluation of their impact on the spatial variability of water vapour, convection-related parameters and the evolution of deep convection by…

Boundary Struggles : Contestations of Free Speech in the Norwegian Publis Sphere
Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right and a core value in liberal democracies. It is also, however, one of our time's most contested issues, constantly claimed to be either too wide-ranging, at the peril of vulnerable minority groups, or too limited, restricting dissent and democratic deliberation. Employing a sociological lens on the dynamics of the public sphere, this book investigat…
