divinity! In everyday life, spirituality and the practice of
effective social work are inseparable. As a result, professionals

disciplines of social work with divinity to achieve positive
results in practice while answering spiritual concerns.

programs. Social Work and Divinity comprehensively explores both
the theoretical and the practical foundations of joint professional
education and practice for social work and divinity dual degree

practitioners, administrators, and students to develop spiritually
sensitive approaches to counseling people. Emerging human needs are

a counselor must adopt when developing an interdisciplinary
approach. Well-reasoned, insightful, thoroughly referenced,
empirically reinforced with tables, this is an essential text sure
to become a choice educational reference. Social Work and Divinity

religion and social work the role of faith and spirituality in

textbook for graduate schools of social work and divinity and an

discipline or in dual degree programs.
This book integrates insights from dialogic theory and systemic
functional linguistics (SFL) to extend our understandings of
engagement in medical research articles, going beyond notions of
the role of verbal dialogue to encompass mathematical and visual
semiotics and consider text not just as language but as
multisemiosis. The volume begins by outlining the engagement
framework and offering a brief overview of historical developments
in medical research discourse. This discussion culminates in the
introduction of the corpus used for analysis, drawing on original
research articles from key medical journals to explore verbal,
mathematical, and visual engagement in turn. A subsequent chapter
brings these perspectives together to demonstrate intersemiotic
engagement across different stages and phases of the medical
research article and how such resources work together to construe
and maintain the authoritative position commonly associated with
medical discourse. The book looks ahead to engagement in other
related disciplinary fields and future directions for work on
multisemiosis and medical research discourse more generally. This
book will be of particular interest to graduate students and
researchers in multimodality, critical discourse analysis, applied
linguistics, SFL, and science education. The Open Access version of

Present-Centered Group Therapy for PTSD integrates theory,
research, and practical perspectives on the manifestations of
trauma, to provide an accessible, evidence-informed group treatment
that validates survivors' experiences while restoring present-day
focus. An alternative to exposure-based therapies, present-centered
group therapy provides practitioners with a highly implementable
modality through which survivors of trauma can begin to reclaim and
invest in their ongoing lives. Chapters describe the treatment's
background, utility, relevant research, implementation,
applications, and implications. Special attention is given to the
intersection of group treatment and PTSD symptoms, including the
advantages and challenges of group treatment for traumatized
populations, and the importance of member-driven processes and
solutions in trauma recovery. Compatible with a broad range of
theoretical orientations, this book offers clinicians, supervisors,
mentors, and students a way to expand their clinical repertoire for
effectively and flexibly addressing the impact of psychological
trauma.

Over the last decade or so, the field of science and technology
studies (STS) has become an intellectually dynamic
interdisciplinary arena. Concepts, methods, and theoretical
perspectives are being drawn both from long-established and
relatively young disciplines. From its origins in philosophical and
political debates about the creation and use of scientific
knowledge, STS has become a wide and deep space for the
consideration of the place of science and technology in the world,
past and present. The Routledge Handbook of Science, Technology and
Society seeks to capture the dynamism and breadth of the field by
presenting work that pushes the reader to think about science and
technology and their intersections with social life in new ways.
The interdisciplinary contributions by international experts in
this handbook are organized around six topic areas: embodiment
consuming technoscience digitization environments science as work
rules and standards This volume highlights a range of theoretical
and empirical approaches to some of the persistent - and new -
questions in the field. It will be useful for students and scholars
throughout the social sciences and humanities, including in science
and technology studies, history, geography, critical race studies,
sociology, communications, women's and gender studies,
anthropology, and political science.

The gripping account of one historian's hunt for answers as he
delves into the surprising life of an ordinary Nazi officer.
'Totally exhilarating' Philippe Sands It began with an armchair. It
began with the surprise discovery of a stash of personal documents
covered in swastikas sewn into its cushion. The SS Officer's
Armchair is the story of what happened next, as Daniel Lee follows
the trail of cold calls, documents, coincidences and family
secrets, to uncover the life of one Dr Robert Griesinger from
Stuttgart. As Lee delves deeper, Griesinger emerges as at once an
ordinary man with a family and ambitions, and an active participant
in the Nazi machinery of terror whose choices continue to
reverberate today. 'Gripping, it unfolds like a detective story as
an obscured past emerges into the light' Hadley Freeman, author of

In 2005, beekeepers in the United States began observing a
mysterious and disturbing phenomenon: once-healthy colonies of bees
were suddenly collapsing, leaving behind empty hives full of honey
and pollen. Over the following decade, widespread honeybee deaths -
some of which have come to be called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)
- have continued to bedevil beekeepers and threaten the
agricultural industries that rely on bees for pollination.
Scientists continue to debate the causes of CCD, yet there is no
clear consensus on how to best solve the problem. Vanishing Bees
takes us inside the debates over widespread honeybee deaths,
introducing the various groups with a stake in solving the mystery
of CCD, including beekeepers, entomologists, growers, agrichemical
companies, and government regulators. Drawing from extensive
interviews and first-hand observations, Sainath Suryanarayanan and
Daniel Lee Kleinman examine how members of each group have
acquired, disseminated, and evaluated knowledge about CCD. In
addition, they explore the often-contentious interactions among
different groups, detailing how they assert authority, gain trust,
and build alliances. As it explores the contours of the CCD crisis,
Vanishing Bees considers an equally urgent question: what happens
when farmers, scientists, beekeepers, corporations, and federal
agencies approach the problem from different vantage points and
cannot see eye-to-eye? The answer may have profound consequences
for every person who wants to keep fresh food on the table.
