In this issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America, guest editors Drs. Elizabeth Barnert, David Keller, and Michael DeBaun bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Health of Youth in the Carceral System. Top experts examine the health of youth in the juvenile legal system, adult criminal legal system, and immigration detention system, as well as the impact of adult carceral involvement on families, including newborns and young children. By providing a broad view of health, addressing the carceral system's historical and racist roots, and considering suggested policy reforms along with the voices of families and providers in the system, this issue provides a better understanding of this complex topic-not only for pediatricians practicing behind bars but also for community providers and researchers seeking to advance health equity.

Documenting a portion of American cultural history, The Blue Note focuses on Seattle's black American Federation of Musician's Local 493. It is an upbeat story of race, jazz, gender, and union culture, set in the Pacific Northwest and the wider jazz world. Detailed research and end notes underpin a user-friendly pictorial format, spanning the years from the 1880s to the mid-1950s. Featuring more than 100 photographs and other illustrations--many previously unpublished--The Blue Note uses union documents, first person oral histories, and extensive primary and secondary sources.

Centering prayer, both a meditative technique and the experience of God’s presence in every waking moment, continues to gain a faithful following among Episcopalians and Roman Catholics at conferences and in parish and small-group settings. David Keller, close colleague of Thomas Keating and director of Keating’s Contemplative Ministry project, offers practical suggestions for personal prayer, addresses its difficulties, and reveals what is special about it in relation to other prayer traditions.Short but substantive, this book is for Christians looking for new insights about prayer and for people who are drawn to contemplation, but do not think the church has much to offer them.Above all, Keller emphasizes that it is the integration of personal prayer and our day-to-day activities that forms a life of prayer. Prayer is a life-long vocation, he reasons, not a separate compartment of life.

Keller's poems captivate the reader with a musical style that asks us to "listen" while reading. The voice shares words with the reader encouraging emersion into the poem, with both style and content that connects us to what is real in the world around us.

In akademischen Kontexten zirkulieren heute multiple Vorstellungen von geistiger Exzellenz und Begabtenförderungswürdigkeit, von Brillanz, Innovation und Herausragendem. Sie spiegeln sich in der omnipräsenten Rede von "Elite-, Prestige- und Exzellenzuniversitäten", von "Exzellenzinitiativen, -clustern und -strategien" sowie "Spitzen- und Höhenkammforschung" und vom "Zukunftskonzept" wider. Das Streben nach Exzellenz hat die Positionierung und Wahrnehmung der bundesrepublikanischen Universitäten in Bewegung gebracht.Es ist Zeit für eine selbstkritische Reflexion und Evaluation neuerer politischer Entwicklungen im deutschen Hochschulsystem. Denn was suggeriert das exzellenzorientierte Sprechen in Superlativen, das bereits eineinhalb Dekaden andauert? Und: Auf welchen wissenschafts- und kulturhistorischen Vorläufern fußen die Exzellenzierungsrhetoriken und der Hang zur Selbstidealisierung?Im Geniekult der europäischen Moderne, wie er sich fachübergreifend um 1900 zeigte, avancierte das "Genie" zu einer heftig umstrittenen Wissensfigur. Sie übernahm vielfältige symbolische, quasi-religiöse, epistemologische und wissenschaftspolitische Funktionen. Zum Beispiel sollten mit ihrer Hilfe das religiöse Vakuum gefüllt und antifeministische und antisemitische Ideen vermittelt werden.Die multidisziplinär analysierenden Beitragenden des Bandes diskutieren das seit der Antike debattierte ''Genieproblem'': zum einen entlang Fragen der Geniebiographik und "genialen Manie", der Geschichte von Begabtenpsychologie, Persönlichkeitsforschung und Züchtungsphantasien, der Forschungsuniversitäten im Verbund mit nationalökonomischen Interessen, der Geniereligiösität und Doppelgängergestalt sowie weiblicher Genialität. Erkundet wird zum anderen der diachrone Bezug zur zeitgenössischen Spannung zwischen herausragenden Einzelforscher*innen und Wissenschaftskollektiven im Rahmen von Exzellenzierungsbestrebungen.
