Role of Estrogens in Addiction-Related Learning
Authors: Yousuf Hanna 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Females exhibit more vulnerability to cocaine abuse compared to males. Sexually dimorphic patterns of cocaine seeking have been observed in both humans and rodents during the different stages of the addiction cycle. While cocaine pharmacokinetics play a minimal role in driving sex differences in addictive behaviors, hormonal influences may be responsible for the reinforcing properties of cocaine in females. In particular, 17β-estradiol (E2), enhances performance in a variety of learning paradigms and may act to enhance the formation of drug-related learning. Paradoxically, preclinical work demonstrates that the memory-enhancing effects of E2 may also aid to suppress cocaine seeking via extinction training. In addition to discussing how E2 mediates cocaine use in females, this chapter provides neurobiological mechanisms underlying E2’s influence on cocaine addiction. Finally, this chapter discusses potential strategies for novel therapeutic interventions for female cocaine addicts.
Introduction
Authors: Brennan Matt 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter explains the motivations for researching the social history of the drum kit. It traces the history of drummer jokes and outlines the structure of the chapters to follow. Chapter 1 traces the racist roots of linking drummers to primitive stereotypes and contrasts this against the cleverness of drummers that culminated in the invention of the drum. Chapter 2 shows how drummers in fact contributed to redefining the boundaries between noise and music. Chapter 3 reveals how drummers developed new conventions of literacy while standardizing both the components and performance practice of their instrument. Chapter 4 examines the development of the status of drummers as creative artists. Chapter 5 looks at drumming as a form of musical labour. Chapter 6 considers attempts to replace the drum kit and drummers with new technologies, and how such efforts ultimately underscored the centrality of the drum kit as part of the contemporary soundscape.
Noisy drummers, ragtime, jazz, and the avant-garde
Authors: Brennan Matt 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter examines the early drum kit and how it challenged preconceptions about the relationship between noise and music. First, it explores the development of ragtime music. Second, it examines the negative impact of the early music scholarship on the status of the drum kit and drummers. Third, it discusses the profession of trap drummers and their role in performing sound effects for silent film. Fourth, it discusses the challenges facing women who wished to become professional drummers, the association between percussive noise and immigrant cultures, the influence of Chinese instruments on the early drum kit, and the origins of Tin Pan Alley. Fifth, it examines the role of the drum kit in the birth of jazz. Sixth, it explores the drum kit and drummers in 1920s recording studios. Finally, it examines the influence of the drum kit and other percussion instruments in classical music.
Studious drummers, selling drum outfits, standardization, and stardom
Authors: Brennan Matt 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Literacy, education, and standardization were key steps forward in consolidating the drum kit’s legitimacy in the 1930s. This chapter examines the biographies of many early drummers and how they learnt to play the drum kit. Arguments over how to play the drum kit were inseparable from the changing form of the drum kit itself, as manufacturers like Ludwig, Slingerland, Leedy, and Gretsch competed to sell standardized, pre-bundled drum kits in their catalogues rather than the hodge-podge, self-assembled drum kits of the past. This chapter discusses the creation of an international market for drum kits through a combination of instrument innovation, education, and old-fashioned hucksterism. Drum manufacturers created their own newsletters as a way of convincing drummers to buy their product. The chapter also examines the career of swing era drummer Gene Krupa, comparing him with African-American drummer Chick Webb, an influential but less well known drumming bandleader.
Publics
Authors: Gordon Eric , Mugar Gabriel 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter reviews concepts of the public, from Aristotle to Dewey, and challenges singular notions of the public good, which can exclude a wide variety of perspectives and subjectivities. The consideration of publics—how they form and communicate—is introduced as central to the work of civic design. This includes understanding the mass media ecosystem and how small and large groups interact within that larger context. Unlike human-centered design that focuses on the needs of individual users, civic design considers the needs of a plurality of publics and considers the power relations that organize them. A case study of a role playing game in New York’s Participatory Budgeting process is introduced, along with several other examples of civic designers deliberately and thoughtfully cultivating publics.
The Stone Inscription of Tsogt Taij (Čoɣtu Tayiǰi)
Authors: Baumann Brian 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter provides an English translation of the stone inscription of Čoγtu Tayiǰi. Čoγtu Tayiǰi was a Mongolian prince over the Khalkha people in what today is the country of Mongolia. He lived in the waning years of the Yuan Dynasty (1260–1635) and died patronizing Sakyapa Buddhism in war against rising Gèlukpa hegemony under the Fifth Dalai Lama and his benefactor, Güüshi Khan of the Oirad Qoshod clan. The inscription, said to have been composed by him upon ascending to the summit of a lofty mountain in the Khangai range during a hunting expedition, is an elegy of the Buddhist world, expressing love and longing for a paternal aunt who recently had moved to a faraway land. The poem is said to have been taken down by a page named Erke who was with him at the time (in the late summer of 1621) and then inscribed in stone a few years later (in 1624) by another page, this one named Dayičing, and a knight named Güyeng.
Siregetü Güüsi Čorǰi’s Treatise that Contains the Complete Meanings of the Most Important [Buddhist Concepts] To Be Used (The Last Chapter)
Authors: Bareja-Starzyńska Agata 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter presents the last part of the manual of Buddhism composed by Siregetü Güüsi Čorǰi entitled Čiqula kereglegči tegüs udq-a-tu šastir. It is a lexicon of Buddhist technical terms, which are sometimes accompanied by short explanations. Siregetü Güüsi Čorǰi’s work can be regarded as a pioneering attempt of rendering diverse Buddhist terms in the Mongolian language, before a full translation of the Tibetan Kanjur (T. bka’ ’gyur) into Mongolian was completed in 1629. Moreover, Mongolian Buddhist terminological dictionaries appeared much later in the eighteenth century. The manual was used by Siregetü Güüsi Čorǰi’s contemporaries and by the later generations of Mongolian Buddhists until modern times.
The Autobiography of the First Khalkha Zaya Paṇḍita Lobsang Trinley
Authors: Ujeed Sangseraima 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The First Zaya Paṇḍita Lobsang Trinley (Tib. Blo bzang ’phrin las, Mong. Luvsanphrinle, 1642–1715) was and remains known as one of the most prolific Mongolian Buddhist masters in history. Despite his desire to stay in Tibet to continue his study of Buddhism, he was sent back to Mongolia to spread the Dharma among the Mongols by the Fifth Dalai Lama, which sets his experience aside from many of his peers. His autobiography translated and presented here is the first known Tibetan language biographical work authored by a Mongolian and went on to have a huge influence on Buddhist biographical writing in Mongolian lands. Although following what the author saw to be the idealized model of Tibetan Buddhist biographical writing, this work also weaves in stylistically Mongolian characteristics. The author’s own experience contained within, as well as the way in which this life story is presented, created a piece of writing that is able to personify the amalgamated Tibeto-Mongolian Buddhist world of the seventeenth century.
Zava Damdin’s Beautifying Ornament for the Mind of the Faithful: A Praise-Biography of My Root Lama Vajradhara, He Who Possesses the Three Types of Kindness, the Great Mahāpaṇḍita Endowed with Excellent Discipline and Learning Named “Sanjaa”
Authors: King Matthew W. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter presents a unique devotional biography from Khalkha by Zava Damdin Luvsandamdin (1867–1937) about his beloved guru Sanjaa (1837–1906). Completed in the late summer of 1914, some three years after the collapse of the Qing and the formation of a perilous Mongolian autonomous theocracy in 1911, Beautifying Ornament provides rare details about the life of an otherwise little-known Mongolian luminary from the late imperial period. Written in Tibetan and employing literary genres shared by that time across the Tibeto-Mongolian cultural interface, Beautifying Ornament sets narrative details proper to an “outer biography” (Tib. phyi rnam) into devotional verse (Tib. bstod) joined with a concluding “seven-limb prayer” liturgy directed to the departed Sanjaa for regular recitation by his disciples. Beautifying Ornament also illuminates the understudied globalisms of nineteenth-century Mongolian Buddhist life that sustained zones of contact and exchange between Mongol, Chinese, Tibetan, Nepalese, Japanese, Russian, and Indian Buddhist communities, scholastic institutions, and pilgrimage sites.
Didactic Poetry of Danzanravjaa
Authors: Wickham-Smith Simon 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The work of the nineteenth-century monk, poet, and scholar Danzanravjaa (1803–1856) offers a philosophically profound, yet imagistically accessible, teaching on Buddhist practice. In presenting the central ideas of Buddhism in the language of the nomadic herders among whom he lived, Danzanravjaa communicated the experience of meditation, of cause and effect, and of the important social effects of spiritual practice, in the language of travel, landscape, and the natural world. Danzanravjaa’s approach, both to Buddhism and to his students, is reflected today in the renewed popularity of his work.
The Khalkha Zaya Paṇḍita’s Smoke Offering Rituals to the Khangai Mountain Range
Authors: Teleki Krisztina 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter introduces the life and activity of the Khalkha Zaya Paṇḍita, Luvsanprinlei (Tib. Blo bzang ‘phrin las, 1642–1719), briefly describes his sixteen smoke offering ritual texts, and provides a translation of selected five short texts dedicated to different geographical sites in the Khangai Mountain Range. The five texts reflect the Mongols’ belief in spirit landowners, or caretakers, who must be pacified and pleased with offerings and encouraged to ensure prosperity and well-being. The male deity of the Khangai Range, together with its female consort, has manifold retinues, including local gods and spirits who live in nearby valleys, lakes, and springs. The colophons of the five texts mention Zaya Paṇḍita as the author, and they name monks and laypeople who encouraged and supported him. The five texts illustrate how smoke offering practices spread at the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Mongolia. Several geographical sites mentioned in the texts can be identified in the current area of Arkhangai, Zavkhan, and Bayankhongor provinces.
Ritual Texts of Mergen Gegeen
Authors: Ujeed Uranchimeg 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Mergen Gegeen’s popular ritual texts combine the traditional Mongolian folk literature with Buddhist liturgical patterns. In this way, Mergen Gegeen infused Buddhist ideas into popular practices. A Rosary of Wish-Granting Jewels for Offering to the Tngri and Nāgas Mergren Gegeen clearly states that anything can be absorbed by Buddhism as long as it is within the framework of Buddhist doctrine and on the right path to serve the living beings. In the two texts concerning Muna Qan, An Extensive Prayer to the Glorious Muna Qan: The Immediate Wish-Granting Jewel Herein and The Smoke Offering and Offering to Glorious Muna Qan and to the Masters of Water Called the Jewel Mighty King, Mergen Gegeen attempts to convert a local pre-Buddhist deity Muna Qan into a protector of the Dharma.
Ritual Texts Dedicated to the White Old Man with Examples from the Classical Mongolian and Oirat (Clear Script) Textual Corpora
Authors: Birtalan Ágnes 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter examines some examples from the ritual text corpora written in “Classical Mongolian” and in Oirat “Clear Script,” dedicated to the veneration of the Mongolian nature deity, the White Old Man. The deity’s mythology, iconography, and the variety of ritual genres connected to him have been extensively studied. However, the rich textual corpus, especially the newly discovered Oirat incense offering texts and the various aspects of the White Old Man’s contemporary popularity among all Mongolian ethnic groups, evokes the revision of the deity’s ethos. Being a primordial nature spirit of highest importance became integrated later into the Buddhist pantheon and returned as syncretic deity into the folk religious practice. The chapter examines the similarities and differences between the Classical Mongolian and Oirat offering text versions and provides a glimpse into the newly invented religious practices dedicated to the deity.
Incense Offering to the Lord Chinggis Khan
Authors: King Matthew W. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter translates two liturgies representative of one of the great transmutations of Inner Asian history: Chinggis Khan’s transition from brilliant conqueror to wrathful manifestation of a Buddha. As wrathful Buddha, Chinggis Khan acts as a hybrid protector—at once a Cakravartin Wheel-Turning King, a pious Buddhist laymen, a supramundane dharmapāla, and still a special envoy of Tngri’s supreme power as he was known from pre-Buddhist days. He appears in rituals such as the text that follows as both the man who historically conquered much of Eurasia in order to clear obstacles for the Dharma to arrive in Mongol lands, and as a Buddha for ritual actors invoking his blessing, purification, and protection required to complete the path to enlightenment. The first text is an eighteenth-century incense offering associated with the Inner Mongolian monastic tradition of Mergen Gegeen, while the second is a offering to Chinggis Khan traditionally written and recited in Tibetan but recently translated into Khalkha Mongolian using Cyrillic script as part of the ongoing postsocialist Buddhist revival.
The Legend of Mother Tārā the Green
Authors: Baumann Brian 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter provides a translation of a popular Mongolian literary text, Noγoγan Dar-a eke-yin tuγuǰi (Legend of Mother Tārā the Green). As savioress and mother of all sentient beings, the deity Tara personifies the apotheosis of womanhood for the Mongolian Buddhist world as one who is meek, nurturing, and selflessly devoted to the benefit of sentient beings. Because it appears to have been taken down from oral tradition, when and where the legend was originally promulgated among the Mongols is difficult to determine. As indicated by peculiarities of its language, the text itself was likely written no earlier than the late nineteenth century. The tale functions as a form of political propaganda to inculcate Buddhist values and worldview among the Mongolian populace. In this it may be seen as a quintessentially scientific text and as such possesses a certain universal appeal.
Zava Damdin’s “A 1931 Survey of Mongolian Monastic Colleges”
Authors: King Matthew W. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter presents a 1931 survey of Buddhist institutional life in Outer and Inner Mongolia and in Buryatia. It is a ground-level view by a Buddhist author writing from within the increasingly embattled monastic worlds of socialist Mongolia, soon to be erased by state purges. Like a few other chapters in this volume, it is drawn from the writings of the Khalkha polymath of the revolutionary era, Zava Damdin Luvsandamdin (1867–1937). This survey is embedded in his famous 1931 history of the Dharma in Mongol lands, The Golden Book (Tib. Gser kyi deb ther), the last history of such scope and purpose by a Khalkha monk prior to the devastating socialist state violence of the late 1930s. The survey comes after synthetic presentations of the early, middle, and later spread of the Dharma into Mongol lands, the latter tied inextricably to the Géluk school and the Qing formation that had collapsed in 1911/1912. The survey translated here is a final statement about the translocalism that defined Buddhism in early twentieth-century Mongolia, where most major monasteries were woven at once into local political and social landscapes while also consciously mediating trans-Eurasian ritual, intellectual, and material culture traditions.
Agwan Dorjiev’s Questions about the Past and Future of Mongolian Buddhism
Authors: King Matthew W. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter translates a 1924 letter exchange between two luminaries of the final years of prepurge Buddhism in Mongol and Buryat lands: the Khalkha polymath Zava Damdin Luvsandamdin (1867–1937) and the diplomat, reformer, and abbot Agvan Dorjiev (1854–1938). Both figures were deeply engaged with revolutionary intellectual currents circulating between China, the British Raj, Russia, Siberia, Tibet, Japan, and Mongolia in the early decades of the twentieth century. Both sought an advantage for Buddhist monastic life in competing models of revolutionary development and emancipation being debated in the Soviet Union and Mongolian People’s Republic. In the exchange translated here, these two tragic figures debate topics as diverse as the prehistory of the Mongolian community, the whereabouts of the fabled “land of Li,” and how best to counter the threat of scientific empiricism.
Agvaannyam
Authors: King Matthew W. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter translates a selection from a 1965 Tibetan-language work by the Buryat luminary Agvaannyam (Tib. Ngag dbang nyi ma, 1907–1990). As a youth, Agvaannyam was selected to study in the great Géluk monastic colleges of Central Tibet, leaving Buryatia for first Khalkha Mongolia and the Lhasa region just before successive waves of revolutionary upheaval. In time, Agvaannyam became a prominent figure in the Tibetan and Mongolian diaspora and refugee community based in India and Europe. His six-volume work contains an untranslated autobiography and the 285-folio Lamp of Scripture and Reasoning, written in c. 1965, from which the current selection is drawn. In this translated section we see the author’s vision of a continuity of Buddhist transmission that could offset the bloody ruptures to tradition in Buryatia, Mongolia, and Tibet during its author’s lifetime.
Literary Treatments of Buddhism in the Period of Transition
Authors: Wickham-Smith Simon 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
During the early revolutionary period, Buddhism was initially treated as a subject for socialist transformation. It was believed that the ethical and social impropriety of monks and their monasteries could be changed through the power of the revolution, and writers sought to encourage this humanistic and ethically motivated approach among their readers. During the late 1930s, the Great Repression led to the effective elimination of Buddhism as a literary theme, although its depiction was occasionally used as social engineering, and given that religion remained officially a matter of individual choice, to illustrate the worst aspects of Mongolian society.
Archival Historiography in Jewish Antiquity
Authors: Carlson Hasler Laura 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
If history is narrative, then Ezra-Nehemiah is only partly history. Well over half of Ezra-Nehemiah is not a narrative but rather a patchwork of cited texts that are frequently intervening in the story. The capacity of citations in Ezra-Nehemiah to offend the historiographical, aesthetic, and theological sensibilities of scholars invites the question of what citation accomplishes in this context. This book labels the citation style in Ezra-Nehemiah as “archival historiography.” It argues that the act of citation in Ezra-Nehemiah forms an alternative site of archiving and this hybrid literary form prioritizes the assembly and organization of documents over the production of a seamless narrative. The argument begins by comparing this literary form with archival institutions and practices across the landscape of the ancient Near East, contending that Ezra-Nehemiah adapts the symbolic power of these ancient collections. It then identifies the role of the imperial archive within the narrative of Ezra-Nehemiah, where it surfaces as an axial and ambivalent source of political power. By reviewing the cited documents in Ezra-Nehemiah, this book argues that the act of citation is not solely or even primarily in the business of authorizing this account or symbolizing the fulfillment of prophetic promises. Rather, citation in Ezra-Nehemiah is aimed at reestablishing a community by organizing memory into retrievable texts. Archival historiography thus constitutes an essential act of communal recovery and represents the cultural vitality of the Judean community after the losses of exile and while living in the long shadow of imperial rule.
Archival Representations
Authors: Carlson Hasler Laura 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Chapter 2 conducts a detailed analysis of how the act of collection works within the narrative portions of Ezra-Nehemiah, defining the archive by surveying various types of collections and their use in these texts. Of these, collections of documents are the most potent and politically vexed within the narrative. Archives arise in Ezra-Nehemiah as both formidable and malleable imperial institutions, contributing equally to the obstruction and advancement of Judean hopes. In Ezra-Nehemiah, and in Ezra 4–6 in particular, the imperial archive is a powerful tool that is wielded for and against the Judeans’ recovery efforts. This chapter establishes the archive as a cipher of the text’s complex and competitive relationship with imperial power.
The Invention of Jewish Theocracy
Authors: Kaye Alexander 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The Invention of Jewish Theocracy is about Jewish religious approaches to law and politics in the State of Israel. It uncovers the forgotten history of religious Zionists who tried to create a “halakhic state” by making traditional Jewish law (halakha) into Israel’s official law. This endeavour brought about a conflict over Israel’s legal framework with the majority of Israeli Jews who wanted Israel to be a secular democracy. This struggle over legal authority became the backdrop for a pervasive culture war, whose consequences are felt throughout Israeli society until today. It has also shaped religious attitudes to many aspects of Israeli society and politics, created an ongoing antagonism with the state’s civil courts, and led to the creation of a new and increasingly powerful state rabbinate. The book uncovers the surprising truth, which runs counter to the common understanding, that the religious Zionist ideology of legal supremacy emerged no earlier than the middle of the twentieth century. Even more notably, the book shows that, far from being endemic to Jewish religious tradition as its proponents claim, the idea of the halakhic state borrows heavily from modern European jurisprudence.
