‘Almost knowing how to read’: Scribes as creative partners in Homeric transmission. $49.99 The ultimate origins of the Homeric texts are mysterious, despite centuries of theorizing. Although the textual transmission can be traced as far back as the medieval period, there is much disagreement about the nature of the texts and their transmission prior to that period. The present study endeavors to shed light on these issues through a close study of early papyri of Homer with a high degree of textual variation. Such papyrus texts, the majority of which are pre-150 BCE, tend to contain many readings that differ from the medieval vulgate, and are known for this reason as eccentric papyri. The first chapter of my study surveys various theories that have been put forward to explain the textual variation in early papyrus texts, and makes the case for my theory regarding the improvisational copying of certain passages. Chapter 2 examines Iliad papyrus 12, in which textual variants have a particular tendency to heighten the emotional appeal of speeches, always an essential feature of oral performance. In Chapter 3 I turn to Odyssey papyrus 31, in which variants are particularly abundant in passages that use the discourse marker autar to focus the narrative on the thoughts and actions of Odysseus. My conclusion argues that these variants, far from being the thoughtless products of incompetent copyists, make the poem both more Homeric and more Hellenistic and that my approach, which emphasizes the phenomenology of these variants rather than focusing on any particular reading, will be one of the most productive ways to interpret early textual variants of Homer as the field of Homeric studies moves forward. |

4 Elements For Reducing Stress In The Workplace-Vol. 7b $19.95 Talent management is a critical strategy for the future hopes for many organizations’ competitive advantage. Surveys keep warning about the looming talent shortage and how challenging it is today to not only find but to keep good people. One element that is critical in any strategic approach to talent management is understanding and recognizing the kinds of stresses that are operating throughout an organization (e.g., ineffective management, toxic workplaces, and rusted or burned out employees). Organizations continue to see rising costs in disability management, increased sick time, and greater numbers of employees applying for short-term psychological stress leave. With these rising costs organizations are taking on added financial burden that provides no direct value to profitability.Talent management programs must consider what is within an organization’s control to mitigate stress. The cost of doing nothing is growing in epidemic proportions for many organizations but fortunately many are making a much more concerted effort to facilitate and promote employee health and healthy work conditions. 4 Elements for Reducing Workplace Stress is Volume 7b of the Howatt HR Consulting Talent Management Series that has been developed to promote strategic talent management considerations.Volume 7b Introduces four elements that will help an organization facilitate discussions on the current level of stress within its workforce and the risks and strategies for assisting employees to manage their current stress levels. Each of the four sections has been developed to assist human resource and business leaders to discuss what their organization is doing well to reduce organizational andindividual stress and what opportunities are available to make the work environment better. A core pillar for effective talent management is to retain a healthy and productive workforce.William A. Howatt, PhD, EdD, Post Doc Behavioral Science UCLA School of Medicine, is CEO of Howatt HR |

A History Of Education Before The Middle Ages $20.99 This education of the early Romans produced a nation of warriors and loyal citizens, but it inevitably tended to make them calculating, selfish, overbearing, cruel, and rapacious. They never possessed either lofty ideals or enthusiasm. Their training was best adapted to a small state, and became unsatisfactory when they had spread over the entire peninsula.-from "Rome and the Roman World"This 1909 classic of educational history surveys the evolution of teaching from humanity's primitive roots through the organization of Christian monastic schools in the Middle Ages. Aimed at educators but of interest to anyone fascinated by the course of human progress, this is the story of how social forces shaped the ever-increasing sphere of knowledge our ancestors sought to understand, how educational ideals and traditions both helped to form and were formed by the advance from nature to culture as the driver of civilization, and how systematic training shifted civic focus from the group to the individual. Egypt, Babylon, China, Persia, India, Greece, and Rome: the influence of all is explored, and the inestimable legacies of these ancient cultures on contemporary education frankly assessed.American educator and classical scholar FRANK PIERREPONT GRAVES (1869-1943) taught at Ohio State University and the Universities of Missouri and Pennsylvania. From 1921 till 1940, he was commissioner of education and president of the University of the State of New York. |

A Mathematical Look at Politics $9.95 What Ralph Nader’s spoiler role in the 2000 presidential election tells us about the American political system. Why Montana went to court to switch the 1990 apportionment to Dean’s method. How the US tried to use game theory to win the Cold War, and why it didn’t work. When students realize that mathematical thinking can address these sorts of pressing concerns of the political world it naturally sparks their interest in the underlying mathematics. A Mathematical Look at Politics is designed as an alternative to the usual mathematics texts for students in quantitative reasoning courses. It applies the power of mathematical thinking to problems in politics and public policy. Concepts are precisely defined. Hypotheses are laid out. Propositions, lemmas, theorems, and corollaries are stated and proved. Counterexamples are offered to refute conjectures. Students are expected not only to make computations but also to state results, prove them, and draw conclusions about specific examples.Tying the liberal arts classroom to real-world mathematical applications, this text is more deeply engaging than a traditional general education book that surveys the mathematical landscape. It aims to instill a fondness for mathematics in a population not always convinced that mathematics is relevant to them. |

A More Perfect Military: How the Constitution Can Make Our Military Stronger $29.95 Surveys show that the all-volunteer military is our most respected and trusted institution, but over the last thirty-five years it has grown estranged from civilian society. Without a draft, imperfect as it was, the military is no longer as representative of civilian society. Fewer people accept the obligation for military service, and a larger number lack the knowledge to be engaged participants in civilian control of the military.The end of the draft, however, is not the most important reason we have a significant civil-military gap today. A More Perfect Military explains how the Supreme Court used the cultural division of the Vietnam era to change the nature of our civil-military relations. The Supreme Court describes itself as a strong supporter of the military and its distinctive culture, but in the all-volunteer era, its decisions have consistently undermined the military’s traditional relationship to law and the Constitution. Most people would never suspect there was anything wrong, but our civil-military relations are now as constitutionally fragile as they have ever been.A More Perfect Military is a bracingly candid assessment of the military’s constitutional health. It crosses ideological and political boundaries and is challenging-even unsettling-to both liberal and conservative views. It is written for those who believe the military may be slipping away from our common national experience. This book is the blueprint for a new national conversation about military service. |

A Watched Pot: How We Experience Time $18.4 “An engaging and profound analysis of a central aspect of the human condition, for, as Flaherty shows, our experiences of the world around us affect how we experience time.”—Qualitative Sociology, Vol. 24, No. 3, 2001″Masterful. This is arguably the most comprehensive inquiry to date by a sociologist on the perception of time, its passage and duration.”–Barry Glassner, University of Southern California”A highly original and colorful book, filled with compelling, real life and fictional examples.”–Jack Katz, UCLA”Flaherty invites us to the fascinating world of the phenomenology of time. Particularly sensitive to the inherent tension between the standard and the idiosyncratic, he offers a cross-situational, generic analysis of the circumstances when there is a considerable discrepancy between clock time and our subjective experience of duration such that we feel that time is either compressed (“flies”) or protracted (“stands still”). His examination of such temporal anomalies draws on equally-compelling fictional and real first-person accounts. Clearlyconceptualized and elegantly written, A Watched Pot is phenomenology at its best.” –Eviatar Zerubavel, author of Hidden Rhythms and The Seven-Day CircleTime, it has been said, is the enemy. In an era of harried lives, time seems increasingly precious as hours and days telescope and our lives often seem to be flitting past. And yet, at other times, the minutes drag on, each tick of the clock excruciatingly drawn out. What explains this seeming paradox?Based upon a full decade’s empirical research, Michael G. Flaherty’s new book offers remarkable insights on this mostuniversal human experience. Flaherty surveys hundreds of individuals of all ages in an attempt to ascertain how such phenomena as suffering, violence, danger, boredom, exhilaration, concentration, shock, and novelty influence our perception of time. Their stories make for intriguing |

A Woman’s Concise Guide to Common Medical Tests $2.24 Every year, millions of healthy women undergo a variety of screening tests without understanding why or the meaning of the outcome. If you are among those women, overwhelmed by information and baffled by results, this is the book you’ve been waiting for. In straightforward, personable prose, A Woman’s Concise Guide to Common Medical Tests surveys a wide variety of standard tests commonly suggested by doctors. Using the recommendations of the U.S. Preventative Health Services Task Force as a starting point, physicians Michele C. Moore and Caroline M. de Costa describe and explain screening tests for STDs and other communicable diseases, diabetes, thyroid disease, bone loss, various genetic tests, pregnancy, and cancer (including breast, colon, and skin). A section on common blood tests demystifies the numerical results that can be virtually impossible for women outside the medical profession to interpret. The authors detail what is considered normal as well as what’s not, to help women make sense of their results. As practicing physicians, both authors have fielded patients’ questions about standard screening tests and understand what women should know but often feel afraid to ask about. For each test, there is an explanation of why it may be ordered, how it is done, what sort of preparation may be involved, and what risks may be incurred. As the health-care industry continues to evolve, the amount of medical information available to women about their health can be overwhelming and confusing. Without being encyclopedic or intimidating, A Woman’s Concise Guide to Common Medical Tests offers all the facts you need about screening tests, all in one place. |

Anuschka Blommers & Niels Schumm: Anita and 124 other portraits $50 Anita and 124 other portraits surveys 10 years of fashion photography from Anuschka Blommers and Niels Schumm, and is the first book to bring together all the wide-ranging elements of their increasingly closely-watched collaboration. The duo is known for playing with the conventions of fashion in their work: in one piece, they explicitly pictured the instructions they had received from a well-known Japanese fashion house telling them how to photograph the clothes; for another fashion photo they selected someone who was not a professional model and, contrary to the client’s expectations, worked with neither a hairstylist nor a make- up artist. This led to the creation of a hyper-real image that touched on the surreal. In this volume, their fashion portfolios–they’ve worked for Self Service, Purple, Dazed & Confused, i-D, Re-Magazine, Another Magazine, Visionaire, British and Japanese Vogue, Interview, and the New York Times Magazine–are presented in complete series, many in their original magazine layouts. Portraits are ordered alphabetically, which results in unexpected combinations of style, and of civilians and stars, including Veronique Branquinho, Hussein Chalayan, Anton Corbijn, Nicolas Ghesquiere, Rem Koolhaas, Steve McQueen, Chloe Sevigny, Hedi Slimane and Viktor & Rolf. |

Assessing Needs in Continuing Education: An Essential Tool for Quality Improvement $50 In order to develop effective education programs for adult learners, it is necessary first to determine what the needs of those learners are. In this book, Donna S. Queeney offers step-by-step guidance on using needs assessment to design high-quality programs in continuing education settings. She identifies the factors to be considered in planning and conducting a needs assessment, such as the educational setting and characteristics of learners, and she tells how to determine the scope, target population, and level of complexity for an assessment.Queeney details specific needs assessment methods—such as self-reporting of needs and supervisor evaluations—that can be implemented with minimal experience and resources. She explains how to design surveys, questionnaires, and interviews that will motivate people to respond. And she describes how to integrate needs assessment into an organization to make it an ongoing asset to operations. |

Assessment of a pilot nutrition education program for Hispanic youth and their parents. $49.99 Obesity and overweight are increasing at epidemic proportions in South Carolina for both adults and children, particularly affecting minority groups. Hispanic populations residing in South Carolina are not the exception. It is important to provide nutrition education, exercise, and behavior interventions as they are the foundations to treat parents and children who are overweight, obese, or are at risk for overweight and obesity. This study used quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the effectiveness of a nutrition and physical activity program, “Jump into Food and Fitness” with the Hispanic population and to determine the effectiveness of the program on knowledge, attitudes and self-reported behaviors among Hispanic youth ages 8 to 11, and their parents; and to describe all the key strategies used in the development and implementation of a nutrition and physical activity program with Hispanic adults. The children’s knowledge scores were compared before and after the intervention. The only statistically significant difference found was between pre-test and post-test (P=.002), post-test and post-delayed test (P=.016) in the comparison group; and between pre-test and post-test (P=0.017) in the treatment group. The qualitative data from the focus group interviews conducted with the parents provided evidence of the importance of receiving a skill-based program that is based on the traditional foods that they consume daily; emphasizing the importance of learning about how to combine foods and the importance of having the family involved in the program. Qualitative data from children surveys revealed what children enjoyed the most was learning about MyPyramid and the Kid’s Activity Pyramid, being active is something fun, and the snacks that they did at the end of each day. The study indicates that the best strategies to develop and implement a program with Hispanics are to make it culturally-compatible and translated to Spanish, and to organize the lectures, |

Background Knowledge: The Missing Piece of the Comprehension Puzzle $27.5 Book study groups and professional learning communities, click here to save 15% when you order 15 copies of Background Knowledge. A $330 value for $280.50. “Background knowledge is too often neglected in our push to raise test scores, despite the fact that we know background knowledge is a critical component of comprehension. Background knowledge simply has to become an instructional focus if we want to help students make sense of school. We will lose a generation of learners if we don’t act now.”-Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey Why background knowledge? Because the Grapes of Wrath is dry reading if students don’t know about the Dust Bowl. Because the Boston Tea Party is a non-event if students don’t know loyalists from patriots. Because knowing a triangle has 180 degrees isn’t the same as knowing why. Because content-area comprehension depends on it, you and your students need Background Knowledge. Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey help you develop lasting subject-area understanding with ideas for modeling, guided practice, productive group work, and independent work that effectively engage adolescents. You’ll learn to: distinguish incidental knowledge from core background knowledge check students’ understanding prior to a unit with tools such as opinionnaires, interest surveys, and anticipation guides model how to activate and apply prior knowledge so kids can wrestle with new content build up students’ background knowledge through virtual fieldtrips, YouTube, guest experts, and more provide collaborative ways for students to develop expertise, show what they know, and own their learning. Doug and Nancy also build your background knowledge with multimedia book-study resources at www.heinemann.com/backgroundknowledge.”As teachers our job is not to simply fill students’ heads with facts,” |

Bird in a Cage: Legal Reform in China after Mao $35.95 Since 1979, China has been building new legal institutions made necessary by economic reforms that have reduced the role of state planning, and by the decline of Maoist totalitarianism. This book analyzes the principal legal institutions that have emerged and assesses the prospects for increasing the rule of law in China.The book first establishes the cultural and institutional context in which legal reforms take place. It traces the main features of pre-Communist Chinese legal tradition, the drastic impact on law of thirty years of Maoist rule, and the extensive changes throughout Chinese society since Mao’s death, notably the rise of the local party-state at the expense of central government power. The book’s analysis begins with the Chinese leadership’s policy toward law, identifying basic ambivalence toward law that makes the Chinese commitment to legality incomplete. It then surveys major developments, emphasizing the creation of new rights, revision of criminal law and procedure, and construction of a nascent administrative law.The book then examines in detail dispute resolution by extrajudicial mediation and the courts. Although mediation is no longer infused with Maoism, it is still used as an instrument to maintain public order. The study of the courts examines court organization, the selection and training of judges, the rise of litigation, the critical influence of localism, and ongoing conflicts between professionalism and a continuing tendency to view the judge as a soldier of the state. The author suggests that the limited role that Chinese courts are today permitted to play combines with the organization of the judicial process and the mentality of the judiciary to make Chinese adjudication more akin to bureaucratic decision making than judging in the West.How should the accomplishments of legal reform and the continuing obstacles to further reform affect U.S. policy toward China? The book concludes by appraising |

Choose Love Not Power: How to Right the World’s Wrongs from a Place of Weakness $14.99 The God who set aside power in order to live out love—fully expressing that love on Calvary’s tree—is at the core of the Christian message to the world. Yet in the centuries since Christ’s refusal to yield to Satan’s temptation to establish His kingdom through economic, political and religious power, the Church has struggled to make the same refusal. In Choose Love Not Power, scholar, activist and modern-day prophet Tony Campolo explores the relationship between love and power, beginning with an examination of Jesus’ life and working toward a “theology of power” for Christians today. He surveys the implications of choosing love over power when it comes to the global community’s most pressing issues—environmental degradation, economic inequality and instability, and perpetual war. Dr. Campolo suggests that the choice between love and power begins close to home: Christ-followers who choose love over power in marriage and in parenting will likewise opt for love in their churches, communities and governments. The growing number of believers seeking a more authentically Christ-like way to be “Christian” in a diverse, pluralistic society will be challenged and encouraged by this unflinching look at Jesus’ example of love.TONY CAMPOLO is professor emeritus of Sociology at Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania. He is founder of the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education (EAPE), an organization that develops schools and social programs in third-world countries and in cities across North America. Dr. Campolo is an ordained minister and associate pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church in West Philadelphia, and is a media commentator on religious, social and political matters. He has been a guest on programs such as Nightline, Crossfire, Politically Incorrect, The Charlie Rose Show, The Colbert Report and CNN News. He co-hosted his own television |

Colonialism and Science: Saint Domingue and the Old Regime $25 How was the character of science shaped by the colonial experience? In turn, how might we make sense of how science contributed to colonialism? Saint Domingue (now Haiti) was the world’s richest colony in the eighteenth century and home to an active society of science—one of only three in the world, at that time. In this deeply researched and pathbreaking study of the colony, James E. McClellan III first raised his incisive questions about the relationship between science and society that historians of the colonial experience are still grappling with today. Long considered rare, the book is now back in print in an English-language edition, accompanied by a new foreword by Vertus Saint-Louis, a native of Haiti and a widely-acknowledged expert on colonialism. Frequently cited as the crucial starting point in understanding the Haitian revolution, Colonialism and Science will be welcomed by students and scholars alike.“By deftly weaving together imperialism and science in the story of French colonialism, [McClellan] . . . brings to light the history of an almost forgotten colony.”—Journal of Modern History“McClellan has produced an impressive case study offering excellent surveys of Saint Domingue’s colonial history and its history of science.”—Isis   |

Composers in the Movies: Studies in Musical Biography $52.25 Amadeus . . . Yankee Doodle Dandy . . . Swanee River . . . Rhapsody in Blue. Even before movies had sound, filmmakers dramatized the lives of composers. Movie biographies–or biopics–have depicted composers as diverse as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, George M. Cohan, Stephen Foster, and George Gershwin. In this enticing book, the first devoted entirely to such films, John C. Tibbetts surveys different styles and periods from the Hollywood of the 1920s and 1930s to the international cinema of today, exploring the role that film biographies play in our understanding of history and culture. Tibbetts delves into such questions as: How historically accurate are composer biopics? How and why have inaccuracies and distortions been perpetrated? What strategies have been used to represent visually the creative process? The book examines the films in several contexts and considers their role in commodifying and popularizing music. Extensive archival research, dozens of illustrations, and numerous interviews make this an appealing book for film and music enthusiasts at all levels. |

Conquest: How Societies Overwhelm Others $1.99 In this bold, sweeping book, David Day surveys the ways in which one nation or society has supplanted another, and then sought to justify its occupation – for example, the English in Australia and North America, the Normans in England, the Spanish in Mexico, the Japanese in Korea, the Chinese in Tibet. Human history has been marked by territorial aggression and expanion, an endless cycle of ownership claims by dominant cultures over territory occupied by peoples unable to resist their advance. Day outlines the strategies, violent and subtle, such dominant cultures have used to stake and bolster their claims – by redrawing maps, rewriting history, recourse to legal argument, creative renaming, use of foundation stories, tilling of the soil, colonization and of course outright subjugation and even genocide. In the end the claims they make reveal their own sense of identity and self-justifying place in the world. This will be an important book, an accessible and captivating macro-narrative about empire, expansion, and dispossession. |

Do We Need Pandas?: The Uncomfortable Truth About Biodiversity $9.62 How much do we really know about the species that make up the natural world? In this fascinating book Ken Thompson explains what we do and don’t understand about biodiversity. We know that most species remain undiscovered, and that biodiversity is gravely threatened – by overfishing, habitat loss, pollution and climate change. Life on Earth has previously experienced five episodes of mass extinction, and we are now in the middle of a sixth.Do We Need Pandas? surveys the Earth’s biodiversity, its origins and some of the threats it currently faces. It then asks how biodiversity loss will affect the human race. Will we even notice, and if we do, what will we notice? It asks what we should be doing to secure the survival not only of the species with which we share the planet, but of ourselves – and whether we need to be more concerned about ecosystems as a whole than about iconic species. |

Ego and Soul: The Modern West in Search of Meaning $0.99 The crisis of meaning is the issue of our time. The old beliefs that guided the West have faded, without credible replacement. Who lives well? What characterizes the good life? More particularly, what may we in the modern West claim about ourselves? And, ultimately, does how we live and what we do make any sense? Concerned for today’s society and its problems as they relate to meaning, faith, belief, morale, moral attachment, and social direction, John Carroll surveys these questions in Ego and Soul. He examines how people in their ordinary and everyday lives grope unconsciously for direction, casting lines into the transcendent in the hope of a catch. He focuses on the main areas of modern life—work, sport, popular culture, family, friendship, intimacy, shopping, tourism, computers, cars, do-it-yourself renovation, our democratic temper, and the retreat into nature. He also examines high culture, the upper-middle-class elites, and the universities, tracing why they have lost their way and failed to provide a language that might help modern people understand their condition. Ego and Soul offers a surprising and compelling new look at the way we live today, and the way we try to make sense of our lives. |

The next section surveys the various languages out of which plays were made, showing how discourses such as history, satire or love were taken up and dramatized. Then a series of short biographies describes the lives of the best-known playwrights of the period. A fourth section provides analyses of over twenty specific scripts, showing what makes them interesting and what critical questions they provoke. Finally, the author links ideological concerns with dramatic practice by considering things that are typically enacted on the early modern stage, such as cuckolding, flattering, swaggering, going mad, and rising from the dead. |

Environmental Policy Analysis and Practice $32.95 Pressing environmental challenges are frequently surrounded with stakeholders on all sides of the issues. Opinions expressed by government agencies, the private sector, special interests, nonprofit communities, and the media, among others can quickly cloud the dialogue, leaving one to wonder how policy decisions actually come about.In Environmental Policy Analysis and Practice, Michael R. Greenberg cuts through the complicated layers of bureaucracy, science, and the public interest to show how all policy considerations can be broken down according to six specific factors: 1) the reaction of elected government officials, 2) the reactions of the public and special interests, 3) knowledge developed by scientists and engineers, 4) economics, 5) ethical imperatives, and 6) time pressure to make a decision.The book is organized into two parts, with the first part defining and illustrating each one of these criteria. Greenberg draws on examples such as nuclear power, pesticides, brownfield redevelopment, gasoline additives, and environmental cancer, but focuses on how these subjects can be analyzed rather than exclusively on the issues themselves. Part two goes on to describe a set of over twenty tools that are used widely in policy analysis, including risk assessment, environmental impact analysis, public opinion surveys, cost-benefit analysis, and others. These tools are described and then illustrated with examples from part one.Weaving together an impressive combination of practical advice and engaging first person accounts from government officials, administrators, and leaders in the fields of public health and medicine, this clearly written volume is poised to become a leading text in environmental policy.  |

Essentials of Contemporary Management with Student DVD and Olc with Premium Content Card $19.8 Jones and George are dedicated to the challenge of Making It Real for students. The authors present management in a way that makes its relevance obvious even to students who might lack exposure to a real-life management context. Their goal is to relate management theory to real life examples to drive home the message that management matters both because it determines how well organizations perform, and because managers and organizations affect the lives of people who work inside them and people outside the organization, such as customers, communities, and shareholders. Essentials of Management concisely surveys current management theories and research. Through a variety of real world examples from small, medium, and large companies the reader learns how those ideas are used by practicing managers. The organization of this text follows the mainstream functional approach of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling; but the content is flexible and encourages instructors to use the organization they are most comfortable with. One of the most popular features of the book has always been its focus on the Manager as a Person, which discusses managers as real people with their own personalities, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and problems. In the 2nd Edition, the authors expand on this theme by discussing the importance of management competencies -the specific set of skills, abilities, and experiences that gives one manager the ability to perform at a higher level than another in a specific context. The themes of diversity, ethics, globalization, and information technology -all areas of importance that make up the workplace realities that today’s student will encounterin the course of a career- have also been greatly expanded in the 2nd Edition in the text, photographs, unboxed stories, and the end-of-chapter material. |

From the Studio to the Streets: Service Learning in Planning and Architecture $29.5 Architecture should be the ideal field of study for applying to service learning since it requires mastery of theoretical concepts for direct application to human situations and needs. Though architecture has long fostered learning by doing, it is only recently that the field’s hands-on aspects have been subjected to more systematic appraisal. This book is the first book to make a formal connection between service learning pedagogy and architectural practice, and to address the related issues, both professional and ethical.This book looks equally at the emergence in the sixties of planning departments out of schools of architecture, and at planning’s shift in orientation away from “master planning,” elite designers, and signature buildings to the mainstream acceptance of neighborhood-based planning and socially engaged practice. This turn has led to far more widespread adoption of service learning in planning programs.The chapters in this book illustrate how service learning can be used to develop a wide range of professional skills in students, including land use and building condition surveys, zoning analysis, demographic analysis, cost estimating, public presentation, site planning, urban design, participatory design processes, public workshops, and design charrettes as well as measured drawings of existing buildings.The author demonstrates how community design programs are more than service activities; and how they can be models of interdisciplinary teamwork, often involving planners, urban designers, and landscape architects as well as scholars and researchers from related fields.The essays in this book offer insights into both successful initiatives and roadblocks along the way and address the practicalities of the use of this powerful pedagogy. |

Greasers and Gringos: Latinos, Law, and the American Imagination $20 “Bender’s got a noble goal: to show that the stereotypes Americans heap on Latino immigrants don’t just make for rude conversation, they directly shape policy decisions. The book compellingly articulates just how deeply ingrained the images of lazy, thieving, drunkard Latinos and sexually voracious, fertile Latinas are in American culture.”—City Limits”Is any society able to exist free of stereotypes? Steven Bender tackles the question head on as he dissects the cornucopia of Latino types, prototypes, and archetypes that populate our mendacious imagination. His answer takes us into the realms of politics, jurisprudence, and cartoons. It involves an attack on poverty, a strive for an equal, more honest educational system, and the ‘reinvention’ of the future tense in American English. Let Bender challenge your ignorance!” —Ilan Stavans, author of The Hispanic Condition and On Borrowed Words” is a typically insightful work by one of the most creative critical writers of our time.” —Berta Esperanza Hernández-Truyol, University of Florida College of Law”A hopeful and empowering challenge to those who work to transform American life.” —′Gerald Torres, University of Texas School of LawAlthough the origin of the term “greaser” is debated, its derogatory meaning never has been. From silent movies like The Greaser’s Revenge (1914) and The Girl and the Greaser (1913) with villainous title characters, to John Steinbeck’s portrayals of Latinos as lazy, drunken, and shiftless in his 1935 novel Tortilla Flat, to the image of violent, criminal, drug-using gangmembers of East LA, negative stereotypes of Latinos/as have been plentiful in American popular culture far before Latinos/as became the most populous minority group in the U.S.In Greasers and Gringos, Steven W.

Happiness Around the World: The Paradox of Happy Peasants and Miserable Millionaires $9.62 For centuries the pursuit of happiness was the preserve of either the philosopher or the voluptuary and took second place to the basic need to survive on the one hand, and the pressure to conform to social conventions and morality on the other. More recently there is a burgeoning interest in the study of happiness, in the social sciences and in the media. Can we really answer the question what makes people happy? Is it really grounded in credible methods and data? Is there consistency in the determinants of happiness across countries and cultures? Are happiness levels innate to individuals or can policy and the environment make a difference? How is happiness affected by poverty? By economic progress? Is happiness a viable objective for policy? This book is an attempt to answer these questions, based on research on the determinants of happiness in countries around the world, ranging from Peru and Russia to the U.S. and Afghanistan. The book reviews the theory and concepts of happiness, explaining how these concepts underpin a line of research which is both an attempt to understand the determinants of happiness and a tool for understanding the effects of a host of phenomena on human well being. The research finds surprising consistency in the determinants of happiness across levels of development. Yet there is still much debate over the relationship between happiness and income. The book explores the effects of many mediating factors in that relationship, ranging from macroeconomic trends and democracy to inequality and crime. It also reviews what we know about happiness and health and how that relationship varies according to income levels and health status. It concludes by discussing the potential–and the potential pitfalls–of using happiness surveys to contribute to better public policy. |

Help Me Live: 20 Things People with Cancer Want You to Know $15.99 When we hear that someone close to us has been diagnosed with cancer, we want nothing more than to comfort them with words of hope, support, and love. But often what we say that is, if we even find the strength to reach out sounds disingenuous, condescending, or insufficient. With sensitive insights and thoughtful anecdotes, HELP ME LIVE provides a personal yet thoroughly researched account, including the author’s own experiences with cancer and interviews and surveys with hundreds of others who have had this disease. Each chapter focuses on one of the 20 most important messages people with cancer want to convey, such as I need to forget and laugh ; Please ask permission; I want you to understand if I don’t call you back or want to see you; and I want compassion, not pity; comfort, not advice. You’ll learn that communicating effectively doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a right thing to say, but that you achieve the desired result: to make those who are ill feel better. In candid and beautifully detailed prose, HELP ME LIVE will help you find the words or gestures to show how much you care. |

Historical Ecology Handbook: A Restorationist’s Guide to Reference Ecosystems $56 <p>A fundamental aspect of the work of ecosystem restoration is to rediscover the past and bring it into the present-to determine what needs to be restored, why it was lost, and how best to make it live again. Yet until now, there has been no guide to the various techniques available for determining that information and how those techniques can be used.<p>For the first time, The Historical Ecology Handbook makes essential connections between past and future ecosystems, bringing together leading experts to offer a much-needed introduction to the field of historical ecology and its practical application by on-the-ground restorationists.<p>The book begins with an overview chapter that introduces important concepts from ecology and restoration, and discusses various factors that need to be taken into account when attempting to discover and use historical information. Following that is a chapter-by-chapter presentation of individual techniques focusing on both culturally derived evidence (documents, maps, photographs, land surveys, oral history) and biological records (woodlot surveys, tree rings, pollen, packrat middens, opal phytoliths, animal remains, records of changes in soil and hydrology). Each chapter is written by a leading expert and offers essential background, tools, and resources needed for using the technique in a restoration effort. The book ends with four in-depth case studies that demonstrate how various combinations of techniques have been used in restoration projects.<p>Case studies are from Nantucket, the Indiana Dunes, the Greater Grand Canyon Region, and the San Francisco Area Historical Project. Among the contributors are M. Kat Anderson, Kenneth L. Cole, Owen K. Davis, Peter W. Dunwiddie, Robin Grossinger, Michael L. Morrison, Michael J. O’Brien, Thomas W. Swetnam, Stanley W. Trimble, Gordon G. Whitney, and many others.<p>The Historical Ecology Handbook is a unique and groundbreaking guide to determining historic reference |

How Media Inform Democracy: A Comparative Approach $110.35 In this timely book, leading researchers consider how media inform democracy in six countries – the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. Taking as their starting point the idea that citizens need to be briefed adequately with a full and intelligent coverage of public affairs so that they can make responsible, informed choices rather than act out of ignorance and misinformation, contributors use a comparative approach to examine the way in which the shifting media landscape is affecting and informing the democratic process across the globe. In particular, they ask: Can a comparative approach provide us with new answers to the question of how media inform democracy? Has increased commercialization made media systems more similar and affected equally the character of news and public knowledge throughout the USA and Europe? Is soft news and misinformation predominantly related to an American exceptionalism, based on the market domination of its media and marginalized public broadcaster?This study combines a content analysis of press and television news with representative surveys in six nations. It makes an indispensable contribution to debates about media and democracy, and about changes in media systems.

How symphony orchestras in Chicago, St. Louis, and Peoria use social media tools to connect with the public. $49.99 This thesis identifies how symphony orchestras in Chicago, St. Louis, and Peoria are using social media tools to connect with the public. The grounded theory was used to gather data. Primary data was collected through interviews and documentary data to obtain the following information: how orchestras make the decision to utilize social media tools and how to measure their success, the role of budget, the role of staff, constituent age and technology usage, constituent feedback, and the future of social media tools. Surveys were administered to adults currently or formerly living in or near the three metropolitan areas to examine the correlation between age and social media familiarity among symphony-goers and classical music fans. Research suggests that successful social media tools will result in a higher number of younger patrons at orchestra concerts. Finally, this study fills a gap in literature relating to the specific topic of symphony orchestras and social media tools and provides suggestions for future research. |

I Am with You Always: A Study of the History and Meaning of Personal Devotion to Jesus Christ for Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Christians $37.95 The devotional life of Christians over the two millennia since Jesus’ birth has been one of motion, changing and growing in response to the challenges presented to the Church, the temperaments of newly baptized nations, and controversies about how we can and should relate to God. And yet the core of authentic Christian devotion has not changed—it remains today, as it was in the time of the Church Fathers, the trusting and personal encounter with Christ that is both open and foundational to the life of all Christian believers. In this book the well-known spiritual writer and teacher Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C. F. R., surveys the development and trials of Christian devotion from the days of the martyrs until the twentieth century. Tracking it through the centuries and among “sadly divided branches of Christianity”, he finds a commonality of experience and even of language that is constantly ignored among Christians themselves. By observing what “image of Christ” the canvas of common devotion portrays, he hopes we will move “not to discredit this image, but to sharpen it and make it more consistent with the New Testament and the ancient Church”. Though the devotional life is sometimes brushed off as unimportant in comparison to a theological understanding of Christ, Groeschel warns that such dismissal threatens to make distant, unknown and obscure the Savior who said “I am with you always.” The answer instead is to draw near to Jesus in devotion and with authentic expressions of that devotion, which themselves help paint the image of Christ found concretely in revelation onto the minds and daily life of the devout. Begun on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and the result of years of preparation and a whole life of guiding people as priest, public preacher, psychologist and spiritual director, this book will help Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant believers gain not only a comprehensive view of how pious Christians over the centuries have lived out their |

Inside the Undergraduate Experience: The University of Washington’s Study of Undergraduate Learning $14.11 The University of Washington’s Study Undergraduate learning (UW SOUL) tracked 304 entering freshmen and transfer students as they moved through their college experience from fall 1999 to spring 2003. Unparalleled in its scope, this longitudinal study focused on six areas of learning: writing, critical thinking/problem solving, quantitative reasoning, information literacy, understanding and appreciating diversity, and personal growth.This book provides faculty, staff, and administrators at two-and four year institutions with a model of assessment that both captures the complexity of the undergraduate experience and offers practical information about how to improve teaching and learning. Data from surveys, open-ended email questions, interviews, focus groups, and portfolios make it possible for the authors to create case studies of individual learning paths over time, as well as to report the group’s aggregate experience. Honoring the authenticity of student voices, this book illuminates the central roles played by the academic disciplines and by faculty in undergraduate learning, offering powerful evidence for the argument that assessment of student learning is most complete and most useful when conducted at the department level. |

Inside-Out Marketing; Building Restaurant Volume Wihtout Breaking Your Budget $272.39 Increase sales by not competing? No, this isn’t some sort of New Age marketing mysticism. It’s part of an amazingly successful, commonsense approach to restaurant marketing that author Bill Marvin call guest-based marketing. What exactly does guest-based mean? It’s really pretty simple.

You will find sales-boosting techniques that will help you to motivate your customers to keep coming back for more, even if it means driving an extra mile or two. Using numerous case studies and real-life anecdotes, Marvin describes proven techniques to help you identify and build on your strengths, build customer loyalty, increase the number of visits customers make, and get your customers to spread the word and attract new customers. Marvin teaches you how to launch an effective customer loyalty program and use an array of incentives to build sales. He helps you hone your all-important people skills. You’ll learn techniques for remembering guests’ names, as well as their individual likes and dislikes. He shows you how to conduct customer surveys and make the best use of the information you gather. |

Issues in School Violence Research $29 Explore the most effective methods of studying school violence!School violence and safety research will move forward and make unique scientific contributions only if it develops a core literature that critically examines its measurements, methods, and data analysis techniques. Issues in School Violence Research is the first book to expose the limitations of previous research, to critically examine methodological and measurement practices, and to provide guidelines to enhance future school violence research. Early literature focused on school violence as a social problem, not as an integrated area of legitimate scientific research. It is time to move beyond the social problem era of school violence to begin critically assessing its common research practices.Until recently, there has been such a rush to gather information about school violence that the methods used have hardly been questioned. The editors of this book are some of the first to raise questions about how the field conducts its research, especially with regard to self-reports among students. Issues in School Violence Research addresses significant measurement and methodological issues in school violence research. The contributors have been conducting school research for more than 15 years. To enhance your understanding of the practices used—past and proposed—numerous tables are included.In Issues in School Violence Research, you’ll find information about: school-level warning signs of safety problems weapon possession using office referral records in school violence research identification of bullies and victims data quality issues in student risk behavior surveys extreme response bias patterns for youth risk behavior surveys the structure of student perceptions of school safety and much more!Issues in School Violence Research is an important resource for anyone, from professors to policymakers.

Jimmy Stewart is Dead: Ending the World’s Ongoing Financial Plague with Limited Purpose Banking $27.95 Make no mistake, Jimmy Stewart, the honest, trustworthy banker (a.k.a. George Bailey) in It’s a Wonderful Life, is dead. And so is his small-town, virtuous bank—Bailey Savings and Loan. Today, a very different financial movie, It’s a Horrible Mess, is playing on Main Street. This economic horror show—produced by Wall Street and directed by Congress—is no Christmas story, but a tale of pervasive and massive financial malfeasance that has devastated the lives of millions of people around the globe.Though our financial system lies in tatters and economic misery stalks the land, the horrible mess is far from over. Uncle Sam, who aided and abetted the financial fraud, is working overtime to restore a financial system that’s virtually designed for hucksters, that no one can trust, and that towers on a bed of sand.Uncle Sam’s strategy is Wall Street’s—borrow short, place risky bets, make financial commitments you can’t possibly keep, and let no one see precisely what you’re doing. The sums involved are enormous and have leveraged us and our children far beyond our capacity to pay. Sam’s bluff has put our economy at grave economic risk. Without the right financial fix, the global financial plague will strike again with even more devastating force.Written by Laurence Kotlikoff—one of the world’s most respected economists—Jimmy Stewart Is Dead describes in lively, but deadly serious terms the big con underlying the big game: namely the web of interconnected financial, political, and regulatory misconduct that culminated in financial meltdown and brought us to our economic knees. It’s a tragic story that starts with our economic disaster and where it’s headed, describes its causes, identifies its architects, and then shows how to fix the system for good.Throughout the book, Kotlikoff not only surveys the disheartening events surrounding our economic collapse, but also conveys their deeper economic |

Latinas Attempting Suicide: When Cultures, Families, and Daughters Collide $31.37 Since 1991, surveys conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have shown that Latina teenagers attempt suicide at a far higher rate than other American youth in the same age group; one in seven Latinas attempt suicide while one in ten black and white girls do. While these numbers came as a shock to the general public, many urban clinicians have long suspected this disparity without having the data to confirm the problem or draw attention to it. Here, in a compelling account of a troubling trend that draws on interviews conducted both with girls who attempted suicide and those who did not, Luis Zayas begins to unravel the mystery of why young Latinas attempt suicide in such great numbers.Beginning with a description of the U.S. Hispanic population and the many values, beliefs, norms, and child-rearing practices that Hispanic families share in common, Zayas goes on to look at the development of young Latinas, girls caught between two cultures, struggling to reconcile them. By drawing on developmental, cultural, and family psychology and acculturation and immigration theory and research, Zayas’ in-depth research forms a conceptual basis for understanding Latina suicide attempts. He illustrates with the girls’ own words, and those of their parents, how social, psychological, family, and cultural factors come together into a flashpoint. The result is a startling look at the nexus of influences that make Latina adolescence a particularly risky time.This book presents the anatomy of experiences before, during, and after suicide attempts and suggests new ways of understanding them. More importantly, it offers researchers and clinicians a model for understanding and working with young Latinas and their families in a compassionate, culturally sensitive manner. |
