Campus Sexual Violence: A State of Institutionalized Sexual
Terrorism conceptualizes sexual violence on college campuses as a
form of sexual terrorism, arguing that institutional compliance and
inaction within the neoliberal university perpetuate a system of
sexual terrorism. Using a sexual terrorism framework, the authors
examine a myriad of examples of campus sexual violence with an
intersectional lens and explore the role of the institution and the
influence of neoliberalism in undermining sexual violence
prevention efforts. The book utilizes Carole Sheffield's five
components of sexual terrorism (ideology, propaganda, amorality,
perceptions of the perpetrator, and voluntary compliance) to
describe how the "ivory tower stereotype" and adoption of
neoliberal values into education contribute to an environment where
victimization is painfully common. Cases such as those from
Michigan State University and Baylor University are used as
examples to highlight institutional culpability and neoliberal
value systems within higher education, as well as illustrating the
pervasiveness of rape culture that contributes to a system of
sexual terrorism. Crucially, the book focuses on systems of
inequality and oppression, and uses an intersectional perspective
that recognizes victimization experienced by multiple marginalized
groups including women, LGBTQ+, and racially minoritized people.
Building on campus violence research and institutional harm
research, the authors define campus sexual violence as a serious
social problem based in structural inequality and advocate for
civic responsibility at the institutional level and the development
of institutional advocates. Weaving together theoretical and
practical perspectives, the book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of sociology, criminal justice, women's and
gender studies, social/political policy, victimology, and
education. It will also be of use to those working in higher
education administration and other student life and student health
professions.
This is a very different book. It is written for the dreamers of
this world-the people who know that something different is
possible-but who have never had the tools before., What if I told
you that the tools exist? The possibilities you've always dreamed
of are possible This book will provide you with a set of practical
and dynamic tools and processes that empowers you to know what is
true for you and who you truly BE. What if you, being you, can
change everything-your life, relationships, body, money situation.
. .and the world?

Kingsley Davis (1908-1997) was one of the pioneers in social
demography, and was particularly identified with the theory of the
demographic transition. This holds that the process of
industrialization first causes mortality to decline, leading to a
substantial rate of population growth and only later causes
fertility to fall, leading eventually to the cessation of
population growth. Kingsley Davis is especially remembered for his
arresting and forceful critique of family-planning programs
intended to achieve zero population growth. Before he devoted his
major attention to social demography, Davis had distinguished
himself through influential articles on the structure of family and
kinship, including the topics of jealousy and sexual property, the
sociology of prostitution, and illegitimacy. He had an early
interest in structural-functional analysis, which resulted in his
famous and controversial article on stratification, co-authored
with Wilbert Moore, and his equally famous presidential address to
the American Sociological Association in 1959. David Heer's
biography of Kingsley Davis is based on material contained in the
Kingsley Davis Archive at the Hoover Institution Library at
Stanford University, the Kingsley Davis graduate file at Harvard
University, the interview of Kingsley Davis by Jean van der Tak in
Demographic Destinies (1990), and David Heer's personal
relationship with Kingsley Davis. The book also contains thirty of
the most important writings by Kingsley Davis. These were chosen,
in part, for the number of citations received in the Cumulative
Social Science Citation Index, and in part to ensure that readers
would be able to assess the continuity of Kingsley Davis's ideas at
all stages of his career.

" "Kingsley Davis" is] An excellent selection of Kingsley Davis'
most important writings, enriched by bibliographic detail about his
career." -Harriet B. Presser, Distinguished University Professor,
University of Maryland
"David Heer has produced an unusually rich and personal biography
of one of the greatest intellects in the history of sociology. In a
very scholarly yet intimate way, Heer has assembled the pieces of
Davis's personal life and interwoven them with a narrative about
Davis's most influential writings. But, importantly, these
influential writings are also included in "Kingsley Davis"], so
that you can judge for yourself how insightful Kingsley Davis was
about human society. This book ensures that we will continue to
learn from him for decades to come." -John R. Weeks, Director,
International Population Center
David M. Heer is professor of sociology emeritus at the University
of Southern California and senior fellow at the Center for
Comparative Immigration Studies at the University of California,
San Diego. He is the author of "After Nuclear Attack, Society and
Population, Undocumented Mexicans in the United States," and
"Immigration in America's Future."
The late Ch.-E. Dufourcq was one of the first to map out the
relations between the Christian and Muslim coastlands of the
medieval western Mediterranean. These studies reveal the extent of
the contribution he made to the subject, and the care and attention
with which he handled the scattered documentary sources. There are
three main themes to the volume: one group of articles focuses on
the political and diplomatic aspects of the relations between Spain
(Catalonia in particular) and the Maghreb (the lands of the modern
Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia); a second is concerned more with
commercial contacts and with a comparison of the economic
conditions north and south of the Mediterranean, and with the
day-to-day life of the sailors and merchants who formed the link
between the two. A third theme, most prominent in the final
articles, is the social and economic history of Catalonia itself, a
subject to which he returned in the final years of his life. Le

et le Maghreb; le seconde s'attache plus aux contracts
commercieaux, comparant les conditions economiques du Nord et du
Sud de la Mediterranee, et A la vie quotidienne des marins et des
marchands qui formaient le lien entre les deux. Un troisieme theme,
plus proeminent dans les derniers articles, ecrits par l'auteur
vers A la fin de sa vie, est celui de l'histoire sociale et

MAGIC IS CONSCIOUSNESS AT WORK In "MAGIC. You ARE It. Be It." Gary
Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer share processes, tools and points of view
that you can use to create consciousness and magic- and change your
life in ways you may not even be able to imagine. Magic is about
the fun of having the things you desire. In a larger way, magic is
about consciousness - not the addendum TO your life, it's
consciousness AS your life. You can function from consciousness
every moment you're alive. When you do, your life becomes truly
magical and there's nothing you can't generate. What are the
infinite possibilities? What else is possible? "Magic is all around
us, it's something we all generate. What would it take to think
differently about the universe, the consciousness and oneness that
we all are and the magic that is an intrinsic part of it?" --Gary
M. Douglas "The real magic is the ability to have the joy that's
possible, the joy that can be generated, the joy that life can be "
-- Dr. Dain Heer
These are the Ten Keys to Total Freedom. They are a way of living
that will help you expand your capacity for consciousness so that
you can have greater awareness about yourself, your life, this
reality and beyond. With greater awareness you can begin creating
the life you've always known was possible but haven't yet achieved.
If you will actually do and be these things, you will get free in
every aspect of your life. People have used these Ten Keys to get
over depression, lack of money, relationship issues, body problems
and many other situations that have seemed insurmountable. Gary
Douglas & Dr. Dain Heer explored the Ten Keys to Total Freedom
in detail on a series of telecalls and conversations over a period
of ten weeks with Access Consciousness Facilitators and other
people from all over the world. This book is based on these main
principles of Access Consciousness that have changed, and continue
to improve, people's lives worldwide.
George F. Kennan is well known as the preeminent American expert on
the Soviet Union during the Cold War and the author of the doctrine
of containment. In Mr. X and the Pacific, Paul J. Heer chronicles
and assesses Kennan's work in affecting US policy toward East Asia.
Heer traces the origins, development, and bearing of Kennan's
strategic perspective on the Far East during his time as director
of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff from 1947 to 1950.
The author follows Kennan's career and evolution of his thinking as
he subsequently became a prominent critic of American participation
in the Vietnam War. Mr. X and the Pacific offers readers a new view
of Kennan, revealing his importance and the totality of his role in
East Asia policy, his struggle with American foreign policy in the
region, and the ways in which Kennan's legacy still has
implications for how the United States approaches the region in the
twenty-first century.
When this volume was published in 1990, undocumented Mexican
immigrants had become an important component of the US population.
In this book the author analyzes the results of a unique survey
conducted in Los Angeles County, where an estimated 44 percent of
the undocumented Mexican population lived. The survey allows the
author to make comparisons among the groups of undocumented and
legal Mexican immigrants and to study the effects of legal status
on their living conditions. The author also examines the findings
of a number of other social scientists, providing a comprehensive
summary of the data on undocumented Mexicans in the US. In his
conclusion, he turns to an evaluation of policy options for
incorporating this group into the US population and for immigrants.
The book will be useful to sociologists and other social scientists
as well as to lawyers and policy experts studying the problem of
illegal immigrants.

Immigration policy is one of the most contentious issues facing the
United States today. The bitter national debate over California's
Proposition 187, the influx of Cuban refugees into Miami, and the
continuous, often illegal, crossings over the Mexican border into
Texas and California are just a few of the episodes that have
created a furor on local, state, and federal levels.In this timely
and informative book, David Heer invites readers to examine the
data and the trends of immigration to the United States and,
ultimately, make up their own minds about what our national
immigration policy ought to be. He demonstrates how social science
findings, together with a conscious recognition of our individual
values, are necessary for the formation of a balanced policy for
immigration.Some of the the nation's collective values that may be
affected by U.S. immigration policy are the standard of living in
this country, the preservation of existing American culture, ethnic
and class conflict, and the power of the United States in
international affairs. Heer examines the impact of these values on
immigration policy and traces the history of U.S. immigration and
immigration law and patterns of immigration to the United States.
Finally, he offers proposals for change to existing immigration
policy.
