BACKGROUND MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS, Old Testament Bible Survey Course, Genesis — Esther $19.22 BACKGOUND MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS, Book One, surveys the first seventeen Old Testament books for Bible teachers of youth and adults. Teachers must build a firm foundation for studying/teaching the Old Testament by answering ten questions:What is the Old Testament? Who wrote the Old Testament? Where, When, Why and How was the Old Testament written? What are three major features of the Old Testament: Revelation, Inspiration and Preservation? How should we study the Word of God? Why should you memorize the Word of God? When should one read the Word of God?Teachers must also build a personal knowledge through surveying the Old Testament utilizing four areas of study: INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL for the first two sections of the Old Testament; BACKGROUND INFORMATION about the author and book; “TEACHER’S STUDY GUIDE” for each of the 17 books; PRESENTATION MATERIAL for teachers [a teaching survey presented by a Scripture verse or passage].Following high school, a Bachelor of Science degree was received from Piedmont College, Demorest, GA plus a Georgia Teacher’s Professional Certificate. Then came the Army Security Agency and three years later came employment with the National Security Agency, Washington, DC. Meeting Edith Campen from North Carolina led to marriage, February 1, 1957.A year after marriage, God called me to the ministry. Graduating from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Ft. Worth, TX with a Bachelor of Divinity (updated to Masters of Divinity) and Masters in Religious Education (updated to Masters of Arts), God directed me to serve Him.For some 50 years, it was a pleasure to serve God and people in churches and classrooms as Minister of Youth, Minister of Education, Minister of Education/Administration, and Minister of Pastoral Care.

Good Invention Repaid With Interest $95 Bach was a prolific composer, often compelled by demands of the eighteenth century to produce a constant supply of new music. But a significant number of Bach’s works are borrowed or parodied versions of either his earlier compositions or the works of others. Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, scholars sought to explain why a composer with so many original compositions would find it necessary to look for inspiration in his earlier works and in the works of other composers. Some scholars thought Bach borrowed for expediency. Often times, Bach was under extreme time constraints to compose new music. By using other compositions as models, Bach could generate large amounts of music within a short span of time. But there are many other Bach parody works revealing that Bach borrowed throughout his musical career. Bach’s contemporaries,including Handel, Vivaldi, and Telemann took a similar approach to composition. A survey of the parody practices of Bach and his contemporaries provides clues to eighteenth-century musical memory, which can be linked with an eighteenth-century view of music composition and performance practice. |

Japanese-Russian Relations, 1907 $160 This book provides a comprehensive survey of Japanese-Russian relations from the end of the Russo-Japanese War until the present. Based on extensive original research in both Japanese and Russian sources, it traces the development of relations from the tumultuous pre-war period, through the Second World War, Cold War and post-Cold War periods. Considering the wider international situation, domestic influences and ideological factors throughout, it shows how the hopeful period of the late 1990s – when Japanese-Russian relations briefly ceased to be acrimonious, and it seemed that normal relations might be established – was not unique. Joseph P. Ferguson argues there have been several previous occasions when rapprochement seemed possible, which in the end proved elusive: rapprochement frequently becoming the victim of domestic factors which frequently worked against and took precedence over good relations. The book concludes with an assessment of the present situation and of how relations are likely to develop in the immediate future. |

The Crusades and the Expansion of Catholic Christendom, 1000-1714 $34.95 The Crusades and the Expansion of Catholic Christendom, 1000-1714 is a fascinating and accessible survey that places the medieval Crusades in their European context, and examines, for the first time, their impact on European expansion. Taking a unique approach that focuses on the motivation behind the Crusades, John France chronologically examines the whole crusading movement, from the development of a ‘crusading impulse’ in the eleventh century through to an examination of the relationship between the Crusades and the imperialist imperatives of the early modern period.France provides a detailed examination of the first Crusade, the expansion and climax of crusading during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and the failure and fragmentation of such practices in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Concluding with an assessment of the influence of the Crusades across history, and replete with illustrations, maps, timelines, guides for further reading, and a detailed list of rulers across Europe and the Muslim world, this study provides students with an essential guide to a central aspect of medieval history. |

To Everything There is a Season: Pete Seeger and the Power of Song $1.99 Author or coauthor of such legendary songs as “If I Had a Hammer,” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” and “Turn, Turn, Turn,” Pete Seeger is the most influential folk singer in the history of the United States. In “To Everything There Is a Season”: Pete Seeger and the Power of Song, Allan Winkler describes how Seeger applied his musical talents to improve conditions for less fortunate people everywhere. This book uses Seeger’s long life and wonderful songs to reflect on the important role folk music played in various protest movements of the twentieth century.A tireless supporter of union organization in the 1930s and 1940s, Seeger joined the Communist Party, performing his songs with banjo and guitar accompaniment to promote worker solidarity. In the 1950s, he found himself under attack during the Red Scare for his radical past. In the 1960s, he became the minstrel of the civil rights movement, focusing its energy with songs that inspired protestors and challenged the nation’s patterns of racial discrimination. Toward the end of the decade, he turned his musical talents to resisting the war in Vietnam, and again drew fire from those who attacked his dissent as treason. Finally, in the 1970s, he lent his voice to the growing environmental movement by leading the drive to clean up the Hudson River. The book seeks to answer such fundamental questions as: What was the source of Seeger’s appeal? How did he capture the attention and affection of people around the world? And why is song such a powerful medium? Richly researched and crisply written, “To Everything There Is a Season”: Pete Seeger and the Power of Song is an ideal supplement for U.S. history survey courses, as well as twentieth-century U.S. history and history of American folk music courses.To purchase Pete Seeger songs discussed in the text, visit the following link for an iTunes playlist compiled by Oxford University Press: |

#Entryleveltweet Book01 $14.03 The statistics are frightening. The National Association of Colleges and Employers’ (NACE) 2009 Student Survey shows that just 19.7 percent of 2009 graduates who applied for a job actually have one. And, according to NACE’s Job Outlook 2010 Fall Preview, employers expect to hire 7 percent fewer graduates from the college Class of 2010 than they hired from the Class of 2009. What’s worse, this issue cannot completely be blamed on a poor economy. Entry-level hiring should have increased because many employers have laid off more expensive, experienced talent. So what’s preventing new talent from entering the career marketplace?Millennials–those individuals born between 1977 and 1997 and also known as Generation Y–often expect college to teach them how to find jobs and are disappointed upon finding out this is not the case. And the career advice they do receive comes from “authority figures” (i.e., campus career center staff), whom they do not believe or trust. These graduates need practical and insightful guidance from someone who knows the challenges they face and how to overcome them.”#ENTRYLEVELtweet Book01″ by career expert Heather R. Huhman is a must-read for college students and recent grads who want to learn what it takes to find, land, and succeed in an entry-level career. In 140 tweet-style tips, Huhman provides a roadmap of what to do to impress hiring managers, how to create stand-out “career tools,” and how to network during your job search with confidence in yourself and what you have to offer potential employers.Want to get ahead of your college colleagues?

”Being an Asian American male is really hard actually”: Cultural psychology of Asian American masculinities and psychological well-being. $49.99 This dissertation study examined beliefs about idealized masculine cultural identity and psychological well-being among Asian American male college students using social marginality and intersectionality perspectives. An online survey (N = 381) and semi-structured interviews (n = 20) were conducted to examine an idealized cultural identity research model.;Structural Equation Modeling revealed that Perceived Asian Discrimination (b = 0.29, p < .001) and Perceived Parental Perfectionism (b = 0.13, p < .01) positively related to Model Minority Male Ideal. Model Minority Male Ideal positively related to Model Minority Pride and Pressure (b = 0.46, p < .001; b = 0.12, p < .05). Model Minority Pride positively related to John Henryism (b = 0.37, p < .001) and direct coping (b = 0.29, p < .001). Model Minority Pressure negatively related to John Henryism (b = -0.14, p < .05) and direct coping (b = -0.22, p < .001). John Henryism and direct coping negatively related to perceived stress (b = -0.20, p < .001; b = -0.27, p < .001), depressive symptoms (b = -0.19, p < .001; b = -0.40, p < .001), and anxiety symptoms (b = -0.15, p < .01; b = -0.24, p < .001), and positively related to life satisfaction (b = 0.28, p < .001; b = 0.27, p < .001). John Henryism positively related to GPA (b = .15, p < .01).;Seven major themes emerged from the interviews: (a) transmission of parental messages were largely tacit; (b) parental perfectionism was both resented and valued; (c) responses to perceived Asian discrimination and stereotypes were heterogeneous; (d) masculinity was characterized as strength of character; (e) multiple referents were used to implicitly describe masculinity; (f) attitudes toward out-group dating reflected complex ideas about race relations; (g) active coping was recognized and often utilized. Overall findings indicate that social marginality contributes to the endorsement of idealized beliefs about masculine |

”Gaming” genre: Serious games, genre theory, and rhetorical action. $49.99 Despite recent increases in digital gaming research from rhetoric/composition scholars, there have been relatively few scholarly treatments of serious games as sites of rhetorical action and critique. In response to this gap, I argue for the need for rhetoric/composition scholars to start “paying attention” to serious games. The disciplinary frameworks of rhetorical studies, literacy studies, and communication are employed to survey the current literature on serious gaming and identify points of synthesis. I then introduce a more focused idea drawn from rhetorical studies, genre theory, to examine the question of why scholars in rhetoric/composition should pay attention to and focus their work on serious games. I conclude by discussing implications of the relationship between serious games and genre in various contexts, including implications for first-year composition pedagogies, digital rhetoric and new media pedagogies, and potential research projects and questions to be taken up by rhetoric/composition as a field. |

”It’s the journey”: Exploring the consequences of a professional development workshop for college astronomy faculty. $49.99 The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the range of consequences of a professional development workshop for two- and four-year college astronomy faculty. Its focus was how faculty participants chose to incorporate ideas and teaching strategies from the workshop with their own teaching ideas and practices. Data included pre- and post-workshop open-ended survey responses on teaching strategies from 126 faculty, follow-up online survey responses on reported teaching practices from forty-one faculty, semi-structured interviews and classroom observations with five faculty “heavy adopters” of the workshop teaching techniques, and surveys from their students. Analytical techniques used were both traditional, such as clustering, counting, and iterative descriptive coding (Miles and Huberman, 1994); as well as non-traditional, such as circle graphs (Aumann et al., 1999), and analysis of linguistic metaphors (Martin and Lueckenhausen, 2005). The main consequence of this study is that faculty development workshops can help support faculty as they create their own teaching path, and support their students in doing the same. Faculty participants reported incorporating workshop teaching strategies to their teaching practice following their participation. Interviews with and classroom observations with the five “heavy adopters” characterized how each individual retrofitted the techniques to suit his or her own teaching approaches, as revealed by their dominant teaching metaphor, as well as the metaphors used by their students to describe their classes. |

”Mrs. Lindsey, word problems CAN be fun!” How constructing authentic problems develop math language. $49.99 Research question. How does direct instruction on the structure of math word problems while students engage in collaborative group work to construct authentic word problems influence math learning?;(1) How does the use of academic language in student created word problems increase over time?;(2) How do students attitudes towards word problems change over the course of the intervention?;Research activities. Context: This intervention took placed in a self-contained 5th grade classroom at an urban K-6 school where the majority of the population was Hispanic. The class was composed of 25 students of which 17 were EL students ranging from Beginning to Advanced CELDT levels. Focus students were chosen based on CELDT, performance during the intervention, and attendance record during the intervention. Methods and data. The intervention occurred over six weeks with two distinct phases where students were given explicit instruction on word problems (phase one) and then created their own word problems in groups (phase two). Academic language was measured by baseline datum through student-constructed word problems, results showed only 12% of students correctly constructing word problems and properly using academic language, but outcome datum showed that 96% correctly constructed word problems using correct academic language. Student performance was measured pre and post by word problem drawn and adapted from the curriculum, Macmillan McGraw-Hill. Attitude data were collected through survey, student journaling, and observation notes. Engagement was monitored through teacher observation field notes. Results. When creating word problems the whole class, as well as all six focus students, improved their use of academic language. In attitude and engagement, all students in the class showed greater interest and demonstrated positive attitudes towards word problems. In survey questions about word problems, 14 students had no confidence in their ability of word problems. By the end |

”Safety first”: Childhood maltreatment, attachment, and cognitive processing: A mediation model. $49.99 Childhood maltreatment is a pervasive problem, with severe developmental consequences across multiple domains. A growing body of empirical evidence indicates that there are critical periods in childhood during which the experience of maltreatment has a profound impact on the developing brain. The developing brain drives cognitive, emotional, social, and psychological development and functioning; thus, understanding the relationship among environmental interactions and the subsequent impact on childhood neurodevelopment can provide insights into how the maltreated child self-regulates social and emotional experiences (such as attachment and interpersonal relationships) and processes information (such as auditory verbal information within social and therapeutic relationships). Those insights can inform the design of more effective treatment approaches for maltreated children that promise to more effectively reduce the long-term impact of the multiple developmental sequelae associated with maltreatment.;This dissertation investigates the interface between childhood relational maltreatment, attachment, and cognitive processing, specifically: auditory and language processing. A sample of 117 incarcerated male adolescents, mean age of 17, from a Midwestern detention center participated in a survey study. The central hypothesis of this study was that attachment acts as a mediator between early relational maltreatment and later deficits in cognitive processing, deficits that then have negative consequences to the social and emotional functioning.;A Structure Equation Modeling strategy was utilized to examine the role of attachment and cognitive processing deficits in child relational maltreatment. A significant relation was revealed between attachment on auditory processing as well as internalizing and externalizing behaviors including withdrawal, anxiety, social problems, and aggression. However, when attachment was held constant, the relation between child relational |

”Teach us, don’t tell us”: Young adults with interfaith parents choose their religious and ethnic identities. $49.99 How do children of intermarriages involving one Jewish parent make sense of, experience and arrive at their identities? Are they torn between dissonant norms and expectations of their parents’ religious and ethnic heritages? Do they forge something new? Do they care? In the United States today, people are increasingly setting up households with partners of different backgrounds. The 2000/2001 National Jewish Population Survey (NJPS) found that half of marriages involving a Jewish partner were to a non-Jewish partner, a dramatic rise from the intermarriage rate of 13% in 1970 (NJPS 2000/2001, Fishman 2004). But what role does the identification of children of intermarriage play in the continuity of an ethnic or religious group if they can choose how they wish to identify? If boundaries of belonging are personally negotiable, rather then defined by tradition or doctrine, do they have meaning or must they transform and evolve with changes in society?;To address these questions and others, this study examined the religious and ethnic identities of young men and women at the transition to adulthood, ages 18–22, who are the children of one parent who was born Jewish and one parent who was not. The data for this qualitative interview-based study came from in-depth interviews with 30 young adults, 16 women and 14 men. Most of these young people were living in the Boston area.;Five distinguishing features characterize this study. First, this study places a discussion of religious and ethnic identity in the context of the larger sociological question of group cohesion and boundary construction. Second, it combined research on religious identity and intermarriage with theories of ethnicity, socialization, transmission of culture, and of cultural dissonance between agents of socialization. Third, although many studies of Jewish intermarriage in the United States have been conducted over the past half-century, few actually examined the children of intermarriage, particularly |

”Voice of the city:” The rise and fall of WNYC-TV. $49.99 A survey of existing histories of broadcasting will lead the reader to the conclusion that there have been only two viable and long-lasting forms of television broadcasting in the United States: advertiser-supported commercial broadcasting and “public broadcasting” (PBS) as created by the 1967 Public Broadcasting Act. However, from 1962 until 1996, there was a third, unique form of broadcasting which existed only in New York City and operated noncommercially with a commercial license granted to the City of New York by the FCC. This was WNYC-TV, UHF Channel 31, a municipal broadcaster.;This dissertation defines municipal television broadcasting through a historical examination of the creation and operation of WNYC-TV. Drawing upon the archival record of the station itself, this study examines the role this station played in the creation and management of a shared public sphere in America’s largest and arguably most diverse metropolis; the competing interests that sought to alternately divest and keep the stations under City ownership; the changing perceptions and purposes of noncommercial and Public Broadcasting; and the shifts in policies, broadcasting and cablecasting technologies and industries that led to its eventual sale to ITT/Dow Jones in 1996 when then Mayor Rudy Giuliani decided that “the City” should “not be in broadcasting.” It interrogates the programming strategies and programming created and acquired by the station as well as the political forces that affected the practice of municipal broadcasting and the broadcasters/civil servants who led the station and sought to operate the municipally owned station in the “public interest, convenience and necessity” and avoid political influence or even the appearance thereof. Ultimately, the study considers how WNYC epitomized localism in a sea of network affiliates and later PBS member stations and offered a unique example of the way in which localism could have been practiced in U.S. broadcasting history |

”Whatever it means to you”: Ethnicity, language, and the survey response in telephone-administered health surveys of African Americans. $49.99 Many public health surveys match the race of telephone interviewers to the anticipated race of respondents. This practice may be particularly prevalent when surveying populations with a possible mistrust of health research, such as African Americans. Interviewer race effects have received little scientific evaluation in telephone-administered health surveys with African Americans, and no empirical studies have explored respondents’ preferences for interviewer race or the role of ethnic identity in survey interactions. These dynamics may have important implications for respondents’ experiences with health surveys and, ultimately, survey data. This dissertation reviewed the interviewer effects literature and considered the importance of interviewer-associated measurement error in public health surveys. It also described the results of two empirical studies. The first study explored African American telephone survey respondents’ preferences for interviewer race. This study found that respondents with Afrocentric, Black American, and Cultural Mistrust ethnic identity components preferred to interact with African American interviewers and that interviewer race was less important to respondents with Assimilated, Bicultural, or Multicultural identity components. Respondents’ preferences for being surveyed by an African American interviewer were stronger when a survey contained more racial content. The second study explored the influence of African American telephone interviewers’ ethnic identity types and the use of African American English (AAE) on the survey interaction. Interviewers with a Bicultural ethnic identity component may have been more prone to using AAE features during telephone surveys with African American respondents than interviewers with other identity components. Interviewers used AAE features less when engaged in recruitment tasks and appeared to have used them more when administering nonracial, sensitive survey items. No pattern emerged for use of AAE |

‘Do good things for the fish’: Organizational innovation in tribal governance. $49.99 This dissertation examines the organizational aspects of fish and wildlife management for Native American nations. Fish and wildlife management is an arena of great importance to many Native nations in subsistence, economic and cultural realms. Additionally, fish and wildlife, being common-pool resources, offer interesting management challenges. My research focuses on what happens when Native American nations exercise self-determination in this arena which requires them for both political and practical reasons to interact with state and federal governments and for economic reasons to deal with markets, all while attempting to meet the needs of their nations. Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis and drawing upon survey and case study research with Native American fish and wildlife programs, I examine how tribes manage their fish and wildlife resources and with what results.;This research helps identify under what conditions tribes may achieve various management goals. In some important ways, tribes are limited in what they can do, particularly in regards to land base size and degree of jurisdiction over non-Indians. More importantly, however, this research identifies some of the many ways tribes can work to take charge of or support tribal fish and wildlife management without having to appeal to outsiders.

‘Do good things for the fish’: Organizational innovation in tribal governance. $108 This dissertation examines the organizational aspects of fish and wildlife management for Native American nations. Fish and wildlife management is an arena of great importance to many Native nations in subsistence, economic and cultural realms. Additionally, fish and wildlife, being common-pool resources, offer interesting management challenges. My research focuses on what happens when Native American nations exercise self-determination in this arena which requires them for both political and practical reasons to interact with state and federal governments and for economic reasons to deal with markets, all while attempting to meet the needs of their nations. Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis and drawing upon survey and case study research with Native American fish and wildlife programs, I examine how tribes manage their fish and wildlife resources and with what results.;This research helps identify under what conditions tribes may achieve various management goals.

‘Getting to know your neighbor’: The efficacy of social networks in mixed-income housing. $49.99 In 1992 Congress launched the HOPE VI (Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere) program as a means of addressing concentrated urban poverty. One of the goals of the program is to replace severely distressed public housing projects, occupied exclusively by poor families, with redesigned mixed-income housing. Mixed-income housing is the latest trend in public housing. Whether it is through dispersal strategies using vouchers or planned developments this new strategy is becoming increasingly popular. One of the primary rationales for mixed-income housing is to counteract the negative effects associated with concentrated poverty and promote upward mobility for low-income families through the creation of social networks. A primary premise of the mixed-income approach is that neighbors will in fact interact so it is imperative in the wake of this popular model to examine what is actually taking place. Using qualitative and quantitative methods this dissertation explores the questions of (1) are people interacting? (2) If they do interact, are there social and economic benefits related to their interactions? I conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with 50 residents as well as a shorter survey with 100 residents at a HOPE VI site. Findings from this research demonstrated that neighbors did interact on some level and when they did, they frequently gained something from those interactions often in the form of some social control in the neighborhood. However, it is important to note that residents had few interactions with those of a dissimilar lifestyle, background, or life cycle and instead tended to form social relationships with neighbors more like themselves. Thus, interactions across class lines did not occur. This study has shown that at least in the short-term there have not been dramatic effects on individual outcomes for residents living in a mixed-income neighborhood. The neighborhood itself has improved with revitalization, the housing in the |

‘Injuns!’: Native Americans in the Movies $16 The indispensable sage, fierce enemy, silent sidekick: the role of Native Americans in film has been largely confined to identities defined by the “white” perspective. Many studies have analyzed these simplistic stereotypes of Native American cultures in film, but few have looked beyond the Hollywood Western for further examples. Distinguished film scholar Edward Buscombe offers here an incisive study that examines cinematic depictions of Native Americans from a global perspective. Buscombe opens with a historical survey of American Westerns and their controversial portrayals of Native Americans: the wild redmen of nineteenth-century Wild West shows, the more sympathetic depictions of Native Americans in early Westerns, and the shift in the American film industry in the 1920s to hostile characterizations of Indians. Questioning the implicit assumptions of prevailing critiques, Buscombe looks abroad to reveal a distinctly different portrait of Native Americans. He focuses on the lesser known Westerns made in Germany—such as East Germany’s Indianerfilme, in which Native Americans were Third World freedom fighters battling against Yankee imperialists—as well as the films based on the novels of nineteenth-century German writer Karl May. These alternative portrayals of Native Americans offer a vastly different view of their cultural position in American society.Buscombe offers nothing less than a wholly original and readable account of the cultural images of Native Americans through history andaround  the globe, revealing new and complex issues in our understanding of how oppressed peoples have been represented in mass culture. |

The novels of Ann Petry, Dorothy West and Paule Marshall were studied as artifacts that were shaped by the cultural and political climate of this crucial period in American history. A survey was also conducted of their associations with members and organizations in the American Left to determine what impact their social activism had on their lives and art. It was determined that these writers’ political engagement played a significant role in the creation of transformative narratives about the power of black women to resist oppression in all of its forms. As a consequence of their contribution to a rich black feminist literary tradition, these postwar black women fiction writers serve as important foremothers to later generations of black women artists. |
