This comprehensive introduction to the ministry of chaplaincy brings together three authors who oversee three of the leading chaplaincy programs in the United States. Written from an evangelical perspective, the book covers the foundations of chaplaincy and surveys specific types of chaplaincy work. In the first half of the book, the authors delve into the history of chaplaincy work as well as its biblical, theological, and philosophical foundations. They introduce students to important topics such as endorsement, placement, and the constitutional and legal parameters of such work. They also consider the person of the chaplain and the understanding of chaplaincy as Christian ministry. In the second half of the book, the authors bring together expert contributors to survey ten specific contexts for chaplaincy work, such as education, healthcare, the military, corporations, prisons, public safety, and sports, and they explore the future of chaplaincy. This book will be an invaluable resource for students of chaplaincy.

This volume examines the role of apologia and apology in response to public attack. Author Keith Michael Hearit provides an introduction to these common components of public life, and considers a diverse list of subjects, from public figures and individuals to corporations and institutions. He explores the motivations and rationales behind apologies, and considers the ethics and legal liabilities of these actions. Hearit provides case studies throughout the volume, with many familiar examples from recent events in the United States,   as well as  an international apology-making case from Japan.
The broad-perspective approach of this volume makes the content relevant and appealing to practitioners and scholars in public relations, business communications, and management. It is a valuable text for courses that take a discursive approach to public relations, and it also appeals to readers in business management, examining apology as a response strategy to corporate crises.

The legacies of plantation slavery continue to inhabit, animate, and haunt the diverse forms of unfreedom that mark our present. Diverse Unfreedoms charts a new way of thinking through these legacies of unfreedom via a more entangled and multidirectional model of what makes for historical change and continuity in practices and relationships of subjugation. This volume troubles the stark opposition between slavery and freedom by foregrounding the diversity of types of exploitation above and beyond the most extreme forms of dehumanization characterized by slavery. The chapters, from multiple disciplines and discussing diverse regions and historical periods, illustrate the significance of interdisciplinary and international perspectives in understanding diverse unfreedoms, and offer a nuanced account of historical change and continuity in systems that generate and perpetuate unfreedom. Through examining the frictions that mark certain key moments of legal, social, and institutional transition, the essays in this volume express the limits of liberal humanist projects and present a critique of the liberal notion of freedom as the necessary horizon of emancipatory imagination and labor.

Whether it is a President who must apologize to the nation, a company that has developed a product that has caused a grievous harm, or a celebrity trying to repair a damaged image, apologia and apologies are frequently in the news. Crisis Management by Apology: Corporate Response to Allegations of Wrongdoing examines the role of apology in response to public attack. It considers all topics, from public figures and individuals to corporations and government. The book explores such topics as the ethics and the legal liabilities of apologies. Case studies are featured in throughout, including an international example for apology making from Japan. The broad-perspective approach taken in the text gives the book greater relevance to practitioners and a diverse appeal. This book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in public relations, business communications, and business and management. It is appropriate for use as a supplemental book in courses using a rhetorical approach to public relations and crisis communication. It will also appeal to readers in business management areas, examining apology as a corporate response to crises.

The "Arab Spring" was heralded and publicly embraced by foreign leaders of many countries that define themselves by their own historic revolutions. The contributors to this volume examine the legitimacy of these comparisons by exploring whether or not all modern revolutions follow a pattern or script. Traditionally, historians have studied revolutions as distinct and separate events. Drawing on close familiarity with many different cultures, languages, and historical transitions, this anthology presents the first cohesive historical approach to the comparative study of revolutions. This volume argues that the American and French Revolutions provided the genesis of the revolutionary "script" that was rewritten by Marx, which was revised by Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution, which was revised again by Mao and the Chinese Communist Revolution. Later revolutions in Cuba and Iran improvised further. This script is once again on display in the capitals of the Middle East and North Africa, and it will serve as the model for future revolutionary movements.

In this volume, Keith Baker, arguably the leading expert writing in English on the ideological origins of the French Revolution, collects together a range of his essays on this subject published in journals in recent years. The essays include historiographical studies of the treatment of the topic by French and other historians as well as important case studies on the political vocabularies characteristic of the ancien régime and the revolutionary periods. The result is a substantial and unified set of studies on one of the central themes in modern European history.

The diagnosis and management of orofacial pain remains a challenge for most practicing Dentists. In this issue of Dental Clinics, guest editors Drs. David A Keith, Michael Schatman, Ronald J. Kulich, and Steven J. Scrivani bring their considerable expertise to Orofacial Pain Case Histories with Literature Reviews. The case-based teaching method has become popular in professional education and this subject lends itself to this approach as dentists can learn how to formulate a differential diagnosis, develop a treatment plan and follow patients' responses, thus providing information they can use on a daily basis. The literature review will allow the authors to expand on the case in a more traditional didactic style and cover the topic in a comprehensive manner. Top experts in the field cover key topics such as masticatory muscle pain; temporomandibular joint disc derangement: surgical treatment; temporomandibular joint arthropathy: nonsurgical management; fibromyalgia and temporomandibular disorders; burning mouth disorder; and more.

Seamus and Liam Quinn, brothers, are enlisted members in the Irish Republican Army. They execute a mission to explode a bank involved in illegally repossessing homes from Catholic landowners. Murphy, the leader of the Ulster Volunteer Force, retaliates for this bold move and murders Seamus, sadistically, in presence of his family. Gavin, the youngest of the Quinn brothers, wrestles with his morality as he now enlists in the IRA to avenge the death of his brother. Will this set things right? Fiona, now widowed, holds onto her silent rage in this perverse world which seems sarcastically normal to those in it. The Quinn brothers now cultivate a plan for retribution as the violence escalates uncontrollably. Jack, a politician from the Crown who placed Murphy in power now must confront the realization that his collusion with the Ulsters is a mistake. Murphy's psychotic strategy intensifies but-who gives the orders? is it even reality...? He seeks control by imprisoning and beating victims indiscriminately. One of them, Gavin gets locked up in the securest prison, the Maze. Jack has a moral dilemma after discovering that Murphy is a serial killer. Now he must decide how best to cover up this political disaster and most importantly to conceal his involvement. His plan is to hide the truth behind an IRA assassination so he helps Gavin escape to take out the trash. Murphy's number is up but he is not going easily. First things first, the path leads to Murphy and he must be dealt with. The boys execute their plan to move on the Cross and take out this vile man. It is a military base and not the kind of place any man should be except the best tool-an angry Irish woman-Fiona who has dreamt of revenge. Now she gets the chance to exact the same abuse that has ripped her family apart. If they survive the scars that remain will be visible for their entire lives. In the end, one thing rings true: violence begets violence and the only way to stop the fighting, is simply to END IT.

Will a technology plan help your library? How often should it be updated? What should it's components be? Should it relate to other planning activities and documents? How can you be sure your plan meets Federal e-rate requirements? What's the best way to asses your technology needs and gather data to create a cohesive plan? Here, in one volume is everything librarians need to know to create, implement, update, evaluate, and use a detailed technology plan. The guide describes how plans are developed, how to maintain them, and how to use them as leverage for grant and budget applications. The accompanying CD-ROM contains some 50 technology plans developed in public, school, academic, and special libraries from which users can cut-and-paste appropriate selections to create, adapt, or enhance their own technology plans. The CD-ROM was prepared in an HTML format and can be used with both IBM and Macintosh computers.

"Not A Wake" is a collection of poetry, short stories, a play, a movie script, crossword puzzles and other surprises, constructed according to a unique principle: counting the number of letters in successive words of the text (the first word has 3 letters, the next word has 1 letter, the next word has 4 letters, and so on) reveals the first 10,000 digits of the famous mathematical number pi (3.14159265358979...). Fans of the number pi, constrained writing (such as Georges Perec's "La Disparition"), wordplay, puzzles, or experimental prose and poetry will find much to savor in this, the first book-length work based on the pi constraint.

The problem of the Terror lies at the heart of any reflection upon the French Revolution and its implications for modern political culture. Contemporaries sought to grasp its meaning immediately after the fact as they struggled to explain an experience which seemed to defy the Revolution's fundamental assumption: that rational human intentions could erase the arbitrariness of history and institute a transparent social order. Since then, historians and philosophers have not ceased to ponder what Benjamin Constant called "that inexplicable delirium known as the reign of the Terror." For some, the Terror deviated from the rights of man only to preserve them: it was a system of revolutionary government dictated by circumstances that threatened the very existence of the infant French Republic. For others, it revealed a dynamic inherent in the Revolution from the start: a dynamic unleashed by the very effort to refashion society in the light of human reason. For still others, it was a symptom of the fact that the promised transformation of society was still incomplete - and a model for any future revolution that would complete it.

This volume has been designed to bring together contributions by representatives of a wide range of historiographical approaches to the French Revolution. It seeks, in the wake of the heated historical debates of recent years, to reopen old questions and to formulate new ones, to suggest how the problem of understanding the Terror is being approached, or might be approached, two hundred years after the event. In a century more than ever aware of the fragility of the boundaries between citizenship and victimization, the topic reatains its challenge forhistorical comprehension - and its profound relevance to the enduring question of the nature and conditions of democracy.

Now volume 4 is published. Drawing clear inspiration from the earlier highly acclaimed volumes, Professor Baker has now edited a supplementary volume. It has as its aim to advance, by focusing more precisely on the period of the Terror, the explanation of the nature and implications of the political culture of the French Revolution the early volumes initiated.

Careful and systematic planning is essential to the success of your library's technology implementation efforts. This complete, clear, and easy-to-follow guide takes a highly practical, hands-on approach to thoroughly prepare public, academic, school and special libraries to develop and implement a technology plan in the library. Following a foreword from Executive Director of the American Library Association Keith Michael Fiels, authors John M. Cohn and Ann L. Kelsey provide a comprehensive introduction to the key concepts and elements in technology planning and the changing technological landscape affecting today's libraries. There is clear advice to help you best define your plan's scope, purpose and funding requirements, along with step-by-step guidance for developing an effective technology plan - from gathering data and identifying institutional needs, to determining priorities, identifying objectives, outlining costs and writing the actual plan. A five-step model plan is included to provide readers with a start-to-finish example of the development process, and the authors also advise on how to implement the new plan and evaluate its success. The accompanying CD-ROM includes over thirty-five time-saving, sample technology plans and RFPs. Each plan is specifically targeted to public, academic, school, or special libraries, and can be easily replicated or adapted for use in your own institution. An array of figures, checklists, and examples are included throughout the book to help reinforce important concepts, and a comprehensive webliography lists further related resources.
