Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
It is essential for counselors and counseling professionals to
understand the impact of their personal biases and how these biases
can impact the counseling process, in addition to respecting and
honoring the beliefs of their clients. Communication and the
sharing of experiences between counsellors is an effective strategy
for perfecting methods to identify and address these biases. Cases
on Cross-Cultural Counseling Strategies is a comprehensive research
book that explores creative healing approaches used by counselors
working with diverse clients in a variety of geographical
locations, developmental levels, and complex and varied identities.
Each case study applies the Multicultural and Social Justice
Counseling Competencies (MSJCCs) to the counseling relationship and
looks at unique aspects of the client's identity, specific
approaches taken by the counselor, and the outcomes of the
counseling relationship. Featuring a broad range of topics such as
higher education, international counseling, and gender identity,
this book is ideal for counselors, therapists, psychologists,
counselor educators, graduate students, practitioners,
academicians, and researchers.

Taking examples from the United States and Canada, this
comprehensive text offers compassionate and critical accounts of
the Native American sporting experience. It challenges popular
images of indigenous athletes and athletics; it explores Native
American participation in and appropriation of EuroAmerican sports;
and it unpacks social categories, particularly gender, race and
heritage and their implications for understanding Native Americans
and sport in North America. Contributors discuss the interplay of
power and possibility, difference and identity, representation and
remembrance that have shaped the means and meanings of American
Indians playing sport. Included in this book are discussions on:
continuity and change, the place of sport in the survival and
adaptation of indigenous beliefs and behaviours the play of power
and the power of play within indigenous communities, intercultural
spaces, and American popular culture the contradictions and
conditions of possibilities sport has offered American Indians the
politics and poetics of identity the axes of difference structuring
the indigenous sporting experience, particularly, gender, race, and
nationalism representations and stagings of Indianness in the
context of sport.

The purpose of this and future volumes of the Handbook of Genetics
is to bring together a collection of relatively short,
authoritative essays or annotated compilations of data on topics of
significance to geneticists. Many of the essays will deal with
various aspects of the biology of certain species selected because
they are favorite subjects for genetic investigation in nature or
the laboratory. Often there will be an encyclopedic amount of
information available on such a species, with new papers appearing
daily. Most of these will be written for specialists in a jargon
that is be wildering to a novice, and sometimes even to a veteran
geneticist working with evolutionarily distant organisms. For such
readers what is needed is a written introduction to the morphology,
life cycle, reproductive be havior, and culture methods for the
species in question. What are its par ticular advantages (and
disadvantages) for genetic study, and what have we learned from it?
Where are the classic papers, the key bibliographies, and how does
one get stocks of wild type or mutant strains? The chapters devoted
to different species will contain information of this sort. Only a
few hundreds of the millions of species available to biologists
have been subjected to detailed genetic study. However, those that
have make up a very heterogeneous sample of the living world."
First year core course introductory textbook on the nature of
matter that puts the physics before mathematical description
Physics of Matter is an introductory textbook on the nature of
matter, based on a description of gases, liquids, liquid crystals,
and solids in terms of the forces that bind atoms together and the
thermal motion of the atoms, that discusses the relationship of
these phases of matter to heat and the basic principles of
thermodynamics. Physics of Matter is unique in its coverage of
material and includes topics that have become important in recent
times such as graphene and liquid crystals. Material in the book is
reinforced by numerous worked examples in the text and problems and
solutions at the end of each chapter, the latter ranging in
difficulty from simple exercises to challenging problems. The
emphasis is on clarity of exposition and explanation, putting the
physics before the mathematical with general physical principles
that can be more widely applied being stressed. Published in the
Manchester Physics Series, which has the reputation of providing
insight, depth, and often details on a subject not found in other
textbooks, sample topics covered in Physics of Matter include:
Characteristics of atoms (sizes and masses) and Avogadro’s
number, the forces that bind atoms and molecules together, and the
Lennard-Jones potential Thermal energy, temperature, and the
Boltzmann law, covering equations of state, the ideal gas equation,
and equipartition of energy Kinetic theory and transport properties
of gases, covering molecular collisions, pressure of an ideal gas,
the mean free path and diffusion Real gases, including Van der
Waal’s equation of state, virial expansion, critical constants,
and heat capacities Reversible processes, entropy, the Carnot
cycle, the thermodynamic fundamental relationship, and Gibbs free
energy Solids, including crystal structure, elastic moduli, and
Einstein’s model of heat capacity Liquids, including liquid flow
and Bernoulli’s equation Physics of Matter is a valuable learning
resource for first- and second-year students in physics, chemistry,
and engineering, as well as those in adjacent science courses
including environmental and biological sciences. The book is
written for the subject traditionally called “Properties of
Matter.”
The imperative of the twenty-first century is sustainability: to
raise the living standards of the world's poor and to achieve and
maintain high levels of social health among the affluent nations
while simultaneously reducing and reversing the environmental
damage wrought by human activity. Scholars and practitioners are
making progress toward environmental and economic sustainability,
but we have very little understanding of the social dimension of
sustainability. This volume is an ambitious, multi-disciplinary
effort to identify the key elements of social sustainability
through an examination of what motivates its pursuit and the
conditions that promote or detract from its achievement. Included
are theoretical and empirical pieces; examination of international
and local efforts; discussions highlighting experiences in both the
developing and industrialized nations; and a substantial focus on
business practices. Contributors are grounded in sociology,
economics, business administration, public administration, public
health, geography, education and natural resource management.
In recent decades there has been increasing attention to mass
atrocities such as genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity,
and other gross human rights violations. At the same time, there
has been a vast increase in the number of academics and researchers
seeking to analyze the causes of, and offer practical responses to,
these atrocities. Yet there remains insufficient discussion of the
practical and ethical challenges surrounding research into serious
abuses and dealing with vulnerable populations.
The aim of this edited volume is to guide researchers in
identifying and addressing challenges in conducting qualitative
research in difficult circumstances, such as conducting research in
autocratic or uncooperative regimes, with governmental or
non-governmental officials, and perhaps most importantly, with
reluctant respondents such as victims of genocide or (on the other
side of the coin) war criminals. The volume proceeds in five
substantive sections, each addressing a different challenge of
conducting field research in conflict-affected or repressive
situations:
- Ethics
- Access
- Veracity
- Security
- Identity, objectivity, behaviour.
This important text will be vital reading for students, scholars
and researchers in the areas of research methods, international
relations, anthropology and human rights. It will also be of keen
interest to policy practioners and NGOs, and especially relevant
for those working in the regions of Africa, Latin America, and
Asia.
The theatre had a difficult time establishing itself in
Massachusetts. Colonial authorities in Boston were adamantly
opposed to theatrical amusements of any kind. In the mid-eighteenth
century, even theatricals performed in the homes of private
citizens aroused the indignant ire of puritanically minded
authorities. In 1750 the General Court of Massachusetts passed an
act prohibiting stage plays or any other theatrical entertainment.
In 1762, the New Hampshire House of Representatives refused a
theatre troupe admission to the town of Portsmouth on the ground
that plays had a 'peculiar influence on the minds of young people
and greatly endangered their morals by giving them a taste for
intriguing amusement and pleasure.'The first public dramatic
performance in Boston was produced at a coffeehouse on State Street
by two English actors and some local volunteers. In 1775 General
John Burgoyne, himself an actor and playwright, converted Boston's
Faneuil Hall into a theatre, where he presented, among other
pieces, ""The Blockade of Boston"". After the Revolutionary War, in
February 1794, the dramatic history of Boston may be said to have
begun with the opening of the Boston Theatre.The history of Boston
theatres from the eighteenth century through the present is covered
in this well illustrated work. Although the theatre had a somewhat
rocky beginning, by 1841 more than 15 theatre houses - including
the Boston Theatre, Concert Hall, Merchants Hall, Boylston Hall,
the Washington Gardens Amphitheatre, the Tremont Theatre, the
Washington Theatre, the American Amphitheatre, the Federal Street
Theatre, Mr. Saubert's Theatre, the Lion Theatre, the National
Theatre (which boasted gas lighting), and the Howard Athenaeum -
were all established.After these first theatres paved the way and
puritanical restraint had been overcome, the public's enthusiasm
for varied entertainment prevailed and theatres proliferated in the
city. This book details the long and storied history of Boston
theatre construction, alteration, restoration, and, in many cases,
destruction. Information is also provided about building
architecture, types of performances, ticket prices and other
interesting data about each theatre's history.
The new novel by the celebrated author of The Sunday Wife
chronicles the lives of a tight-knit group of lifelong friends.
None of the Same Sweet Girls are really girls anymore, and none of
them have actually ever been that sweet. But this spirited group of
Southern women, who have been holding biannual reunions ever since
they were together in college, are nothing short of compelling.
There's Julia Stovall, the First Lady of Alabama, who, despite her
public veneer, is a down-to-earth gal who only wants to know who
her husband is sneaking out with late at night. There's Lanier
Sanders, whose husband won custody of their children after he found
out about her fling with a colleague. Then there's Astor Deveaux, a
former Broadway showgirl who simply can't keep her flirtations in
check. And Corinne Cooper, whose incredible story comes to light as
the novel unfolds.
A scholarly work that aims to be both broad enough in scope to
satisfy upper-division undergraduates studying folk belief and
narrative and detailed enough to meet the needs of graduate
students in the field.
