"The Feminization of Fame 1750-1830" addresses the literary,
cultural and historical questions surrounding the
reconceptualization of fame between 1750-1830. As the first
sustained scholarly analysis of fame in this period, this
interdisciplinary book examines genres from history writing to
literature, public and private memoirs to political treatises in
English and in French in order to explore 'The age of
personality's' obsession with instantaneous publicity. In an age of
expanding print culture, the classical notion of posthumous reward
was becoming increasingly open to question, as the need 'to be
brilliant', as Hazlitt put it, in the contemporary moment became
all.
Linked from the days of their origins, psychology and advertising
developed as independent disciplines at almost the same time in the
late nineteenth century. Providing an important arena in which
psychologists have tested methods and theories, advertising has
been a stimulus for research and development in such diverse
specialties as learning and behavioral decision theory,
psychometrics, perception, and social and mathematical psychology.
Psychology, in turn, has contributed a wide assortment of tools,
theories, and techniques to the practice of advertising. These
contributions have found their place in virtually all areas of
advertising practice -- stimulating creativity, evaluating the
creative product, and informing the scheduling of media. Purposely
eclectic, this volume presents new issues in consumer psychology
and advertising such as the relationship between gender
differences, cortical organization and advertising; new approaches
to old issues such as attention as an epiphenomenon, and
meta-analysis of comparative advertising research; and new
applications of consumer psychology to other fields such as
examining health behavior as consumer behavior, affect and
political advertising, and the relationship between advertising and
eating disorders. This volume is the result of the Sixth Annual
Advertising and Consumer Behavior Conference, which was designed to
bring together researchers and practitioners from both psychology
and advertising. Chapter contributions are made by professionals in
advertising and marketing, professors in psychology and marketing
departments, and psychologists who consult for advertising and
marketing organizations. Thus, the chapters represent a microcosm
of the type of interaction that has characterized the interface of
psychology and advertising for more than a hundred years.
The impact of public narratives has been so broad (including
effects on beliefs and behavior but extending beyond to emotion and
personality), that the stakeholders in the process have been
located across disciplines, institutions, governments, and, indeed,
across epochs. "Narrative Impact" draws upon scholars in diverse
branches of psychology and media research to explore the subjective
experience of public narratives, the affordances of the narrative
environment, and the roles played by narratives in both personal
and collective spheres. The book brings together current theory and
research presented primarily from an empirical psychological and
communications perspective, as well as contributions from literary
theory, sociology, and censorship studies.
To be commensurate with the broad scope of influence of public
narratives, the book includes the narrative mobilization of major
social movements, the formation of self-concepts in young people,
banning of texts in schools, the constraining impact of narratives
on jurors in the court room, and the wide use of education
entertainment to affect social changes.
Taken together, the interdisciplinary nature of the book and its
stellar list of contributors set it apart from many edited volumes.
"Narrative Impact" will draw readership from various fields,
including sociology, literary studies, and curriculum policy.
Providing new explanatory concepts, this book:
*is the first account on the psychology of narrative persuasion
and brings together the relevant conceptualizations from within
various sectors of psychology together with the major issues that
concern cognate disciplines outside of psychology;
*focuses on understanding the mechanisms that underlie the power
of public narratives to achieve broad historical and social
changes;
*offers breakthroughs to the future: the role of "presence" in
virtual reality narratives; the role of "zines" in females'
fashioning of their selves; and the central role of imagery in
transportation into narrative worlds;
*explains varying roles of emotion in narrative immersion; and
*addresses the growing blurring of fact and fiction: mechanisms
and implications for beliefs and behavior.

Time-variable exposure profiles of pesticides are more often the
rule than exception in the surface waters of agricultural
landscapes. There is, therefore, a need to adequately address the
uncertainties arising from time-variable exposure profiles in the
aquatic risk assessment procedure for pesticides. Linking Aquatic
Exposure and Effects: Risk Assessment of Pesticides provides
guidance and recommendations for linking aquatic exposure and
ecotoxicological effects in the environmental assessment of
agricultural pesticides. Leading international scientists share
their expertise in aquatic exposure assessment, aquatic
ecotoxicology, and the risk assessment and management of plant
protection products. The book incorporates the tools and approaches
currently available for assessing the environmental risks of
time-variable exposure profiles of pesticides. It also discusses
the science behind these techniques. This volume covers the
extrapolation techniques, including models that address the
environmental fate, toxicokinetics, toxicodynamics, and ecological
effects, for performing accurate aquatic environmental risk
assessments of pesticides. It explains how to link aquatic exposure
and effects in the risk assessment procedure for plant protection
products.

For the First Time in English, a Foundational Work of One of the Church's Most Important Theologians
As some point in life, we all wonder: Who am I? What is the world, and what is my place within it? Only Christianity offers answers to these questions in a way that meets our truest needs and satisfies our deepest longings.
In this important book, translated into English for the first time, Herman Bavinck provides a framework for understanding why the Christian worldview is the only solution to the discord we feel between ourselves, the world, and God.

Herman Bavinck showed that othodox theology continues to speak
authoritatively today. Since the English translation from Dutch of
Herman Bavinck's magisterial 4-volume Reformed Dogmatics, there has
been a blossoming interest in Bavinck's theology. Readers have been
drawn to Bavinck for his faithfulness to the Reformed tradition
while also engaging the questions of 19th-century Europe. Far from
simply revisiting the older dogmatic systems, Bavinck faithfully
engages modern trends like historical-criticism, the
epistemological problems raised by Kant, the rationalism of the
philosophes, and the radical changes ushered in through the French
and European revolutions. The question then is, was Bavinck
orthodox, modern, or both? In Orthodox yet Modern, Cory C. Brock
argues that Bavinck acts as a bridge between orthodox and modern
views, insofar as he subsumes the philosophical-theological
questions and concepts of theological modernity under the
conditions of his orthodox, confessional tradition. By exploring
the relation between Bavinck and Schleiermacher, Orthodox yet
Modern presents Herman Bavinck as a theologian eager to engage the
contemporary world, rooted in the catholic and Reformed tradition,
absorbing the best of modernity while rejecting its excesses.
Bavinck represents a theologian who is at once orthodox, yet
modern.
"It bodes well for the teaching and giving away of psychology that
so many respected researchers are able and willing to write well
and simplify without oversimplifying their findings. ... The
contributors represent an unusual breadth of disciplines and
academic rank... The scholarship behind the writing and the
findings is incontrovertible. This book should have wide appeal not
only for advanced undergraduates in psychology but also to a
variety of other disciplines, such as marketing, political science,
and advertising." -- PsycCRITIQUES:Contemporary Psychology: APA

Charlan Jeanne Nemeth Frank R. Kardes Persuasion is a powerful
force - it can be used to reconfigure millions of minds and hearts.
The key targets of persuasion are our attitudes and opinions.
Whether it is an attitude toward a political candidate, a social
policy, an organization, a person, or a consumer product, the power
of persuasion can remake us into persons who are irrevocably
changed. Sometimes imperceptibly, oftentimes dramatically.
