How Groups Encourage Misbehavior explores the psychological and
social processes by which groups develop a tolerance for and even
encourage misbehavior. Drawing from decades of research on social,
cognitive and organizational psychology, as well as a deep well of
historical research, this book shows how commitment to groups,
organizations and movements can turn moral individuals into amoral
agents. Pulling together what have been traditionally distinct
areas of study, How Groups Encourage Misbehavior provides a
detailed and unified account of how good organizations go bad and
how groups of all types can push otherwise honest and upright
individuals to behave in ways that violate laws and social norms.
This text describes how social norms, rationalization, the
characteristics of formal and informal groups, attachment to groups
and organizations, and the structure of organizational life can all
contribute to misbehavior. Each chapter includes one or more
sidebar discussions of relevant and interesting examples to
illustrate the ways groups and organizations encourage and support
misbehavior. The final two chapters discuss how many of these same
attributes and processes can be used to encourage positive
behaviors and foster recovery from dysfunctional and corrupt
cultures and modes of behavior. A valuable text for a broad range
of psychology courses, How Groups Encourage Misbehavior will
especially appeal to practitioners, scholars, and students
interested in ethics in organizations and the intersection between
social psychology and organizational behavior.
The Routledge History of American Sexuality brings together
contributions from leading scholars in history and related fields
to provide a far-reaching but concrete history of sexuality in the
United States. This interdisciplinary group of authors explores a
wide variety of case studies and concepts to provide an innovative
approach to the history of sexual practices and identities over
several centuries. Each chapter interrogates a provocative word or
concept to reflect on the complex ideas, debates, and differences
of historical and cultural opinions surrounding it. Authors
challenge readers to look beyond contemporary identity-based
movements in order to excavate the deeper histories of how people
have sought sexual pleasure, power, and freedom in the Americas.
This book is an invaluable resource for students or scholars
seeking to grasp current research on the history of sexuality and
is a seminal text for undergraduate and graduate courses on
American History, Sexuality Studies, Women's Studies, Gender
Studies, or LGBTQ Studies.

In examining both theory and applications, this book, through
useful examples, provides a stimulating introduction to ecosystems.
It examines the nature, types and characteristics of ecosystems as
well as investigating the interactions between various systems and
human actions.
Using functional ecology as the basis for applying the ecosystem
concept in contemporary environmental science and ecology, this
second edition of this highly successful volume has been updated to
reflect the latest research. It incorporates a strengthened theme
in the use of functional ecology in explaining how ecosystems work
and how the ecosystem concept may be used in science and applied
science, and coverage of the interactions between humans and
ecosystems has been substantially bolstered with the addition of
chapters on human impacts and large scale impacts on ecosystems,
and global environmental change and the consequences for
ecosystems.
Presented in a student-friendly format, this book features boxed
definitions, examples, case studies, summary points, discussion
questions and annotated further reading lists. It provides a
concise and accessible synthesis of both ecosystem theory and its
applications, and will be a valuable resource for students of
environmental studies, ecology and geography.

This is the tale of a son and daughter of Ireland, who emigrated at
the turn of the twentieth century. They met and married in
Brockton, Massachusetts. The "shoe city" was at its peak with
almost 100 shoe and boot factories. The average worker earned $3.75
a day, the highest wage in the world. Mary Ann Sullivan grew up in
a dirt-floor, stone hut in Derrylea, County Mayo. One by one, Mary
Ann's father put his seven children on Cunard liners bound for
America. In 1908, it was Mary Ann's turn and, soon enough, she
became a domestic servant in Brockton. Denis Murphy was from
Killarney, County Kerry, and sailed to America in 1894 with his
mother and three siblings. His father went on ahead to work at R.
B. Grover Shoes in Brockton. Eventually, Denis Murphy became a
hoseman with the Brockton Fire Department. In 1918, Mary Ann met
Denis at a dance. Two years later, they married and birthed three
boys-Thomas, Robert and Edward. By dint of native intelligence and
hard work, the boys all became medical doctors. Brockton's shoe
industry was a tree lying across a raging river that allowed a few
Irish-Americans to reach higher ground. Soon enough, the water tore
the tree away, just as Brockton's 100 chuffing, snorting shoe
factories relocated or closed their doors. Today, every last one is
gone.
Studies in Ephemera: Text and Image in Eighteenth-Century Print
brings together established and emerging scholars of early modern
print culture to explore the dynamic relationships between words
and illustrations in a wide variety of popular cheap print from the
seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. While ephemera was
ubiquitous in the period, it is scarcely visible to us now, because
only a handful of the thousands of examples once in existence have
been preserved. Nonetheless, single-sheet printed works, as well as
pamphlets and chapbooks, constituted a central part of visual and
literary culture, and were eagerly consumed by rich and poor alike
in Great Britain, North America, and on the Continent. Displayed in
homes, posted in taverns and other public spaces, or visible in
shop windows on city streets, ephemeral works used sensational
means to address themes of great topicality. The English broadside
ballad, of central concern in this volume, grew out of oral
culture; the genre addressed issues of nationality, history, gender
and sexuality, economics, and more. Richly illustrated and well
researched, Studies in Ephemera offers interdisciplinary
perspectives into how ephemeral works reached their audiences
through visual and textual means. It also includes essays that
describe how collections of ephemera are categorized in digital and
conventional archives, and how our understanding of these works is
shaped by their organization into collections. This timely and
fascinating book will appeal to archivists, and students and
scholars in many fields, including art history, comparative
literature, social and economic history, and English literature.
