Catholic Women's Rhetoric in the United States: Ethos, the
Patriarchy, and Feminist Resistance examines the rhetoric of Roman
Catholic women. Focusing on women in the United States, the books
recognizes that most Catholic women have felt-and
been--marginalized by the Church, yet many women still seek
membership in the Church because of its professed ideals. Building
on various feminist theories of ethos, the authors in this
collection explore how North American Catholic women from various
periods, races, ethnicities, sexualities, and classes have used
elements of the group's positionality to make change. The women
considered in the book range from the earliest Catholic sisters who
arrived in the United States to women who held the Church hierarchy
accountable for the sexual abuse scandal as they redefined what it
means to be a "good Catholic mother." The book analyzes women such
as those in an African-American order who developed an ethos that
would resist racism. Chapters also consider better known Catholic
women such as Dolores Huertas, Mary Daly, and Joan Chittister.
Perspectives on the Performance of French Piano Music offers a
range of approaches central to the performance of French piano
music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The contributors
include scholars and active performers who see performance not as
an independent activity but as a practice enriched by a wealth of
historical and analytical approaches. To underline the usefulness
of contextual understanding for performance, each author highlights
the choices performers must confront with examples drawn from
particular repertoires and composers. Topics explored include
editorial practice, the use of early recordings, emergent
disciplines such as analysis-and-performance, and traditions passed
down from teacher to student. Themes that emerge demonstrate the
importance of editions as a form of communication, the challenges
of notation, the significance of detail and of deeper continuity,
the importance of performing and teaching traditions, and the
influence of cross disciplinary frameworks. A link to a set of
performed examples on the frenchpianomusic.com website allows
readers to hear and compare performances and interpretations of the
music discussed. The volume will appeal to musicologists and
analysts interested in performance, performers, students, and piano
teachers.

This groundbreaking book shows how major shifts in federal policy
are spurring local public housing authorities to demolish their
high-rise, low-income developments, and replace them with
affordable low-rise, mixed income communities. It focuses on
Chicago, and that city's affordable housing crisis, but it provides
analytical frameworks that can be applied to developments in every
American city. "Where Are Poor People to Live?" provides valuable
new empirical information on public housing, framed by a critical
perspective that shows how shifts in national policy have devolved
the U.S. welfare state to local government, while promoting
market-based action as the preferred mode of public policy
execution. The editors and chapter authors share a concern that
proponents of public housing restructuring give little attention to
the social, political, and economic risks involved in the current
campaign to remake public housing. At the same time, the book
examines the public housing redevelopment process in Chicago, with
an eye to identifying opportunities for redeveloping projects and
building new communities across America that will be truly
hospitable to those most in need of assisted housing. While the
focus is on affordable housing, the issues addressed here cut
across the broad policy areas of housing and community development,
and will impact the entire field of urban politics and planning.

Graduate students in general and those in Workforce Education &
Development in particular are often frustrated when they are
assigned the task of writing a research paper, thesis, or
dissertation. After teaching a research methodology course for
several years, the editors of Research Pathways have discovered a
solution to resolve the frustration experienced by graduate
students as they approach the writing stage of their academic
degree program. Based upon the students' participation in the
research colloquium, there has been expressed a tremendous need for
a comprehensive handbook of this nature to describe and discuss a
practical approach to writing those final graduate research
reports. This handbook introduces a practical approach to writing
research papers, theses, and dissertations in Workforce Education
& Development, with examples and best practices for the
practitioners and researchers.
This book is about the ways in which teachers and speech language
therapists work together with children with communication problems
in mainstream schools, special units and special schools. It
explores issues that have influenced these working relationships
and why children with communication problems may benefit from a
professional partnership of teacher and therapist. In addition, it
explores information brought together for the first time about
current practice in educational settings with reference to current
literature, both from this country and abroad, as well as
strategies for the development of working relationships.
First Published in 1998. Supporting Children with Communication
Problems: sharing the workload is, therefore, for practising
teachers and therapists who have begun to work together and wish to
know more about the process, as well as for those professionals who
may be considering embarking on such work but need to consider the
'pros and cons' of working in this way. The book is also for
student teachers and speech and language therapy students.
The Arab-Israeli conflict is one of the greatest threats to world
peace today. Yet for all the importance and passion of this
conflict very little is actually known about the story behind the
headlines. Behind each confrontation and each act of terrorism is a
long and deep story. This primer on the Arab-Israeli conflict,
first published in 1989, examines the real stories behind the
conflict and separates fact from fable. By carefully documenting,
each claim and counter-claim, many widely-held beliefs are unmasked
as myths.

In April 2008, state police and child protection authorities raided
Yearning for Zion Ranch near Eldorado, Texas, a community of 800
members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day
Saints (FLDS), a polygamist branch of the Mormons. State officials
claimed that the raid, which was triggered by anonymous phone calls
from an underage girl to a domestic violence hotline, was based on
evidence of widespread child sexual abuse. In a high-risk
paramilitary operation, 439 children were removed from the custody
of their parents and held until the Third Court of Appeals found
that the state had overreached. Not only did the state fail to
corroborate the authenticity of the hoax calls, but evidence
reveals that Texas officials had targeted the FLDS from the outset,
planning and preparing for a confrontation. Saints under Siege
provides a thorough, theoretically grounded critical examination of
the Texas state raid on the FLDS while situating this event in a
broader sociological context. The volume considers the raid as an
exemplar case of a larger pattern of state actions against minority
religions, offering comparative analyses to other government raids
both historically and across cultures. In its look beyond the Texas
raid, it provides compelling evidence of social intolerance and
state repression of unpopular minority faiths in general, and the
FLDS in particular.

This study investigates the connections between opium policy and
imperialism in Burma. It examines what influenced the imperial
regime's opium policy decisions, such as racial ideologies, the
necessity of articulating a convincing rationale for British
governance, and Burma's position in multiple imperial and
transnational networks.
This study investigates the connection between the regulation of
opium and the exercise of imperial power in colonial Burma. It
traces the opium industry from the British annexation of the
Burmese territories of Arakan and Tenasserim in 1826 to the end of
the colonial era, arguing that this connection was
multi-dimensional. The British regime regulated opium to facilitate
labour extraction, and the articulation of a rationale for opium
policy was inextricable from the articulation of a rationale for
colonial rule more generally. Evolving discourses about race
invoked opium consumption. Finally, Burma's position in multiple
transnational and imperial networks informed its colonial opium
policy.

The past 20 years have seen a surge of research into colorectal
cancer, which is a reflection of the need to improve our methods of
treating patients suffering from this increasingly common form of
cancer. Greater knowledge of the basic mechanisms involved in
colorectal carcinogenesis is an essential prerequisite to
improvements in cancer prevention. In this volume the editors have
brought together an impressive list of experts to cover the
epidemiology, pathophysiology, morphology and basis for new
diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to early detection and
prevention. This broad scientific approach provides the reader with
up-to-date review of our current state of knowl edge of colorectal
carcinogenesis and indicates how this information can be used to
generate more research and create new opportunities for diagnosis
and treatment. This is a book of knowledge and ideas, some of them
still at the stage of theoretical interest, but others with
practical potential for the care of patients. I recommend it to
those who have a research interest in colorectal carcinogenesis, as
well as to readers who wish to know just how far medical scientists
have progressed in their efforts to achieve the ideal of cancer
prevention."
The only book to attempt any perspective on methods of assessing
cell proliferation is published to satisfy the growing interest
amongst pathologists and clinicians in areas which have for more
than three decades been the preserve of experimental biologists
The death of Professor Arthur Wright in the summer of 1996 deprived
me of a friend and a colleague whose judgement and experience
shaped this book. I pay tribute to his contributions to protection
and electrical engineering education. In the five years since the
first edition appeared, many developments have taken place and it
is now necessary to update the book. The use of digital
communications and advanced signal processing techniques is now
widespread and several fully numeric relays are available from manu
facturers. Two new Chapters 13 and 14 have been added to introduce
readers to these concepts and associated techniques. Artificial
intelligence is making its impact in all engineering applications
and power system protection is no exception. Expert systems, fuzzy
logic, artificial neural networks, adaptive and integrated
protection, synchronized measurements using the global positioning
system, genetic algorithms, flexible a.c. transmission systems, are
some of the techniques considered in connection with protection.
Although many of these techniques have not yet found major
application in protection, it is nevertheless essential for the
educated protection engineer to have a basic understanding of the
underlying principles and methodology so that he, or she, can
evaluate their suitability for new relaying problems and
applications. Chapter 15 was therefore added to guide readers
through this developing area. I have also added some new material
in other chapters to reflect changes over the past years."
Predators are charismatic animals that most people enjoy seeing.

In the field of criminal justice, public policy is designed to
address the problems brought on by criminal behavior and the
response to that behavior. However, too often, the theories
carefully developed in the academy fail to make their way into
programs and policy. The editors and contributors to this second
edition of Criminology and Public Policy highlight the recent
development of "translational criminology" to address the growing
movement in criminology to use the results of criminological
research and theory to better inform policy and practice. The
essays in Criminology and Public Policy propose an in-depth look at
both theory and practice and how they are integrated across a
number of key criminal justice problems-from racial and
environmental concerns to gun control and recidivism rates as well
as police use of force and mass incarceration. The end result is an
essential volume that blends both theory and practice in an effort
to address the critical problems in explaining, preventing,
responding to, and correcting criminal behavior. Contributors
include: Robert K. Ax, Michelle N. Block, Anthony A. Braga, Rod K.
Brunson, Jennifer Carlson, Ronald V. Clarke, Shea Cronin, Megan
Denver, Kevin M. Drakulich, Grant Duwe, Amy Farrell, Cheryl Jonson,
