In the past decade various studies have examined how political
humor may influence various political attitudes and voting
behavior; whether it affects learning, cognition and media
literacy, how it might shape political participation; how people
process different forms of political humor; and more. This book is
devoted to anticipating and addressing where the field of political
humor and its effects will move in the next generation of
scholarship, exploring the continued evolution of the study of
political humor as well as the normative implications of these
developments. It includes research accounting for important changes
and developments "on the ground" in the political humor landscape.
These include the fact that the cadre of late-night television
hosts have completely changed in the past 3 years; there are now
more late night television choices; and many hosts have become more
overtly political in their presentations. Recommended for scholars
of communication, media studies, and political science.

Reconciliation of Geometry and Perception in Radiation Physics
approaches the topic of projective geometry as it applies to
radiation physics and attempts to negate its negative reputation.
With an original outlook and transversal approach, the book
emphasizes common geometric properties and their potential
transposition between domains. After defining both radiation and
geometric properties, authors Benoit and Pierre Beckers explain the
necessity of reconciling geometry and perception in fields like
architectural and urban physics, which are notable for the
regularity of their forms and the complexity of their interactions.
More than fifty years ago, Tetsuhiko Uehiro looked down on the
radioactive ashes of Hiroshima and dedicated his life to more
ethical resolutions of human disagreements. He founded an
association which attracted millions of Japanese people, to promote
traditional ethics. His son, Eiji Uehiro, seeking a more universal
and international basis for ethics, founded the Uehiro Foundation
on Ethics and Education, which became a partner of the Carnegie
Council. To commemorate the Foundation's tenth anniversary, leading
scholars of Asian philosophy and Jungian psychology were brought
together to find new grounds for ethics in human experience which
would not depend on religious affiliation and which would apply
ethics to the interpersonal and global problems of the modern
world.
All the authors reach for new decision-making paradigms giving
new ways of learning about morality. They suggest that our bodies,
feelings, dreams, and synchronous experiences give us clues to
ethics. Their scholarship illusrates that people are invisibly,
inescapably interconnected with each other and with our
environment. An important resource for scholars in the fields of
comparative cultures, counseling and ethics, Jungian psychology,
and Asian religions.

The book examines the system used to produce professional
communicators in the United States, compares the system to that of
other countries, and examines the impact of the system on the field
of mass communications. In addition, it explores the personnel
practices of media organizations and shows the interface between
those practices and the educational programs that produce the
journalism and mass communication students.
This book provides a unique perspective on journalism and
communication education, drawing on extensive, detailed data across
time to examine the evolution of education for journalism and
related communication occupations such as public relations and
advertising. It demonstrates how journalism and communication
education adapted to forces within the university as well as forces
from outside the university. Particular attention is given to the
impact of the labor markets to which journalism and communication
education is linked. The analysis shows dramatically how dependent
employers are on journalism and communication education, how
educational institutions have changed to accommodate female and
minority students, and how the labor market has responded to the
graduates produced. Part history, part sociological analysis, this
book will change the reader's understanding of education for
journalism, public relations, advertising and the related
occupations. It also offers insights about what the future of
education in these fields holds.

Sex is a fundamentally important biological variable. Recent years
have seen significant progress in the integration of sex in many
aspects of basic and clinical research, including analyses of sex
differences in brain function. Significant advances in the
technology available for studying the endocrine and nervous systems
are now coupled with a more sophisticated awareness of the
interconnections of these two communication systems of the body. A
thorough understanding of the current knowledge, conceptual
approaches, methodological capabilities, and challenges is a
prerequisite to continued progress in research and therapeutics in
this interdisciplinary area.
Sex Differences in the Brain provides scientists with the basic
tools for investigating sex differences in brain and behavior and
insight into areas where important progress in understanding
physiologically relevant sex differences has already been made.
This book was edited and co-authored by members of the Isis Fund
Network on Sex, Gender, Drugs and the Brain, sponsored by the
Society for Womens Health Research.
The book is arranged in three parts. The first part of the book
introduces the study of sex differences in the brain, with an
overview of how the brain, stress systems, and pharmacogenetics
differ in males and females and how this information is important
for the study of behavior and neurobiology of both genders. The
second part presents examples of sex differences in neurobiology
and behavior from both basic and clinical research perspectives,
covering both humans and nonhuman animals. The final part discusses
sex differences in the neurobiology of disease and neurological
disorders.
For interestedindividuals as well as those who are considering
conducting research at the intersections of endocrinology,
neuroscience, and other areas of biomedicine, the study of sex
differences offers exciting and challenging questions and
perspectives. This book is intended as a guide and resource for
clinicians, scientists, and students.
This is a newly revised and updated edition of "A History of
Western Ethics, " a coherent and accessible overview of the most
important figures and influential ideas of the history of ethics in
the Western philosophical tradition. Written by eleven
distinguished scholars, and including a glossary of key terms, this
book is the essential reference for students and general readers
alike.
Varieties of Ethical Reflection brings together new cultural and
religious perspectives-drawn from non-Western, primarily Asian,
philosophical sources-to globalize the contemporary discussion of
theoretical and applied ethics. The work pushes ethics beyond a
Western philosophical tradition tending toward universalism to
infuse and broaden modern ethical theory with relativistic Asian
ethical principles. The contributors introduce multicultural
concepts and ideas from the Chinese Taoist, Confucian and
Neo-Confucian, Indian and East Asian Buddhist, and Hindu
traditions, focusing on such areas of moral controversy as the
clash between women's rights and culture; universal human rights;
abortion and euthanasia in a non-Western setting; and the
standardization of medical practice across cultures.
