This Research Handbook is a multi-faceted, comparative analysis of
how law and political systems interact around the world. Chapters
include analyses of judicial deference, congressional support,
democratic representation, politicization of courts, public
support, and judicialization across multiple jurisdictions in the
United States and abroad. Chapters also investigate transnational
courts and the linkages between international and domestic law and
politics. Addressing these relationships from a comparative
perspective, the Handbook illustrates how different political
contexts lead to different uses of law and how courts respond to
divergent political environments. An impressive array of
contributors, and the editors, examine law and political systems on
a global scale through either country-specific analyses,
comparative analyses, or the examination of transnational
institutions. Scholars interested in law and courts, judicial
politics, the rule of law, and governance will find this Research
Handbook to be a valuable resource. It will provide a helpful
foundation for advanced students of both political science and law
and will be a useful reference tool for judges and those operating
in a judicial or political sphere.

This second contribution to the "Handbooks for Old Testament
Exegesis" series continues the admirable tradition set by Robert B.
Chisholm Jr. in "Interpreting the Historical Books." A valuable
resource for pastors and students, "Interpreting the Psalms" begins
by explaining the nature of Hebrew poetry and the purpose of the
Psalms. An accomplished scholar of the Psalms, Mark Futato next
explores issues related to properly interpreting Israel's songbook,
and concludes with a sample of moving from interpretation to
proclamation. A glossary is included.
The acoustics of a space can have a real impact on the sounds you
create and capture. Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, Fifth Edition
provides supportive tools and exercises to help you understand how
music sounds and behaves in different spaces, whether during a
performance or a recording, when planning a control room or
listening space, and how it is perceived by performers, listeners,
and recording engineers. With their clear and simple style, Howard
and Angus cover both theory and practice by addressing the science
of sound engineering and music production, the acoustics of musical
instruments, the ways in which we hear musical sounds, the
underlying principles of sound processing, and the application of
these concepts to music spaces to create professional sound. This
new edition is fully revised to reflect new psychoacoustic
information related to timbre and temporal perception, including an
updated discussion of vocal fold vibration principles, samples of
recent acoustic treatments, and a description of variable acoustics
in spaces, as well as coverage of the environment's effect on
production listening, sonification, and other topics. Devoted to
the teaching of musical understanding, an accompanying website
(www.routledge.com/cw/howard) features various audio clips,
tutorial sheets, questions and answers, and trainings that will
take your perception of sound to the next level. This book will
help you: Gain a basic grounding in acoustics and psychoacoustics
with respect to music audio technology systems Incorporate
knowledge of psychoacoustics in future music technology system
designs as appropriate Understand how we hear pitch, loudness, and
timbre Learn to influence the acoustics of an enclosed space
through designed physical modifications
Interest in social science and empirical analyses of law, courts
and specifically the politics of judges has never been higher or
more salient. Consequently, there is a strong need for theoretical
work on the research that focuses on courts, judges and the
judicial process. The Routledge Handbook of Judicial Behavior
provides the most up to date examination of scholarship across the
entire spectrum of judicial politics and behavior, written by a
combination of currently prominent scholars and the emergent next
generation of researchers. Unlike almost all other volumes, this
Handbook examines judicial behavior from both an American and
Comparative perspective. Part 1 provides a broad overview of the
dominant Theoretical and Methodological perspectives used to
examine and understand judicial behavior, Part 2 offers an in-depth
analysis of the various current scholarly areas examining the U.S.
Supreme Court, Part 3 moves from the Supreme Court to examining
other U.S. federal and state courts, and Part 4 presents a
comprehensive overview of Comparative Judicial Politics and
Transnational Courts. Each author in this volume provides
perspectives on the most current methodological and substantive
approaches in their respective areas, along with suggestions for
future research. The chapters contained within will generate
additional scholarly and public interest by focusing on topics most
salient to the academic, legal and policy communities.
Classrooms are dynamic spaces of teaching and learning, where
language and culture are intertwined in remarkable ways. The theory
of language socialization explores how sociocultural practices in
classrooms help to shape language learning and development. This
collection is the first of its kind to bring together research on
this fascinating concept. It presents ten case studies, based on
linguistic and ethnographic research conducted in classrooms
located within communities in North America, Europe and India,
spanning learners from preschool, to primary and secondary school,
to university. Following an introduction that discusses the theory
and core concepts of language socialization, the volume is divided
into three central themes: socializing values, dispositions, and
stances; socializing identities; and language socialization and
ideology. Both new and more experienced researchers will appreciate
its new insights into how language socialization is carried out
across the globe.

2018 Nebraska Book Award The state of Nebraska has a rich and
varied culture, from the eastern metropolitan cities of Omaha and
Lincoln to the ranches of the western Sand Hills. The first atlas
of Nebraska published in over thirty years, this collection
chronicles the history of the state with more than three hundred
original, full-color maps accompanied by extended explanatory text.
Far more than simply the geography of Nebraska, this atlas explores
a myriad of subjects from Native Americans to settlement patterns,
agricultural ventures to employment, and voting records to crime
rates. These detailed and beautifully designed maps convey the
significance of the state, capturing the essence of its people and
land. This volume promises to be an essential reference tool to
enjoy for many years to come.
To what extent do courts make social and public policy and
influence policy change? This innovative text analyzes this
question generally and in seven distinct policy areas that play out
in both federal and state courts-tax policy, environmental policy,
reproductive rights, sex equality, affirmative action, school
finance, and same-sex marriage. The authors address these issues
through the twin lenses of how state and federal courts must and do
interact with the other branches of government and whether judicial
policy-making is a form of activist judging. Each chapter uncovers
the policymaking aspects of judicial process by investigating the
current state of the law, the extent of court involvement in policy
change, the responses of other governmental entities and outside
actors, and the factors which influenced the degree of
implementation and impact of the relevant court decisions.
Throughout the book, Howard and Steigerwalt examine and analyze the
literature on judicial policy-making as well as evaluate existing
measures of judicial ideology, judicial activism, court and legal
policy formation, policy change and policy impact. This unique text
offers new insights and areas to research in this important field
of American politics.

Invasive species are among the greatest challenges to environmental
sustainability and agricultural productivity in the world. One of
the most promising approaches to managing invasive species is
voluntary citizen stewardship. However, in order for control
measures to be effective, private citizens often need to make
sustained and sometimes burdensome commitments. Community-Based
Control of Invasive Species is based on five years of research by
leading scholars in natural resource and human behavioural
sciences, which involved government and citizen groups in Australia
and the United States. It examines questions including, 'how can
citizens be engaged in voluntarily managing invasive species?',
'what communication strategies will ensure good motivation and
coordination?' and 'how can governing bodies support citizens in
their efforts?'. With chapters on institutional frameworks,
changing governance, systems thinking, organisational learning,
engagement, communication and behavioural change, this book will be
a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners involved in
natural resources management.
