In this book, Lara C. Stache and Rachel D. Davidson demonstrate how
the on-screen character of the avenging-woman offers a complex
construction of femininity that serves as a representation of
cultural conversations about female empowerment, female agency, and
feminism. This character is both woman and hero, typically both
physically appealing and physical aggressive – a dichotomy that
goes against traditional gendered norms of femininity. Television
and film narratives produced since 2010, they posit, offer an
opportunity to reflect on and consider the evolution of cultural
ideologies about women and power, given the significant cultural
shifts in Hollywood that occurred amid the #MeToo explosion and
post-Harvey Weinstein revelations. Stache and Davidson argue that
depictions of the avenging-woman utilize a feminist language of
empowerment that suggests the potential for a subversive message
against the patriarchy, while also recognizing that an alternative
reading of some representations presents, at times, a hegemonic
construction of empowerment that ultimately cautions against
subversion within patriarchal systems. The authors question how
these representations may limit social change or, in some cases,
represent particularly progressive rhetorics about women and power.
Scholars of communication, media studies, film and television
studies, and women’s studies will find this book of particular
interest.

Gender, Race, and Social Identity in American Politics: The Past
and Future of Political Access explores the ways in which cultural
expression is represented in American politics as it intersects
with issues of gender, race, and the construction of social
identity. Specifically, this body of work examines how
representations in the media and larger culture can establish and
diminish the status of diverse communities of American politicians.
Contributors analyze the rhetorical and performative changes that
have occurred in America as it has shifted politically from growing
acceptance and tolerance to an obscure-and often
hostile-conservative ideology. This book contributes to the growing
dialogue surrounding American politics by citing specific cases of
gender and race-based infringements of the current political
system, as purported by media and party players. This book will be
especially useful to scholars of political science, media studies,
gender studies, and critical race studies.

The success of linguistics in treating naturallanguages as formal
syntactic systems has aroused the interest of a number of linguists
in a paralleI or related development of semantics. For the most
part quite independ ently, many philosophers and logicians have
reeently been applying formai semantic methods to structures
increasingly like naturallanguages. While differenees in training,
method and vocabulary tend to veil the fact, philosophers and
linguists are converging, it seerns, on a common set of
interrelated probiems. Sinee philosophers and linguists are working
on the same, or very similar, probiems, it would obviously be
instructive to compare notes."
Ranking Faiths: Religious Stratification in America discusses how
religion shapes access to power, privilege, and prestige in the
U.S., both historically and today. James D. Davidson and Ralph E.
Pyle dispel the idea that the U.S. was founded on the principle of
religious equality for all, documenting how religion has been a
factor in the allocation of power from the colonial period through
the present. From the time of the earliest settlements in America
through today, the book demonstrates that some religious groups
have had more access to economic, political, and social rewards
than others, and they have benefitted from laws and customs that
have maintained religious inequality over time. While a few
religious groups, such as Catholics and Jews, have experienced
significant upward mobility over time, the social status of most
has remained remarkably static over time. The book shows how
religious inequalities developed, highlight where they remain in
society today, and discuss what Americans can and should do about
it.

Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers
peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.
In the next few years, Britain will face a momentous choice in
Europe. Should it join a single currency in the European Union? Or
should it stay outside? This report is the result of an intensive
enquiry into the implications of that choice, led by Lord
Kingsdown, former Governor of the Bank of England. It examines the
pros and cons of British participation; the likely consequences for
the British economy, including inflation, interest rates and
foreign investment; and the broader political implications of the
choice. It makes an essential, non-party contribution to the
clarification of the British debate on Europe.

The Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) 2005 decision
resulted in the consolidation of Naval Air Depots (NADEPs) and
non-deployable Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Departments
(AIMDs) to form six Fleet Readiness Centers (FRCs). The intent
behind this consolidation is to avoid redundant maintenance
procedures, supply overhead charges and reduce aviation maintenance
costs. The Department of Defense (DoD) estimates FRCs will yield
$3.7 billion in net savings over 20 years. This is more savings
than any other of the 2005 BRAC recommendations. This consolidation
presents the opportunity to examine potentially significant changes
within current NADEP, AIMD and supply support processes in order to
gain the efficiencies that are required to yield the expected
savings. This thesis models three Point-of-Sale (POS) alternatives
to improve cost wise readiness (CWR). A POS is described as the
location where a financial transaction occurs. CWR in very simple
terms is dollar-for-dollar readiness. The POS alternatives are to
maintain the status quo (do nothing), move the transaction closer
to the customer (the Squadron), or move the transaction closer to
the supplier (the Original Equipment Manufacturer). The question as
to which POS alternative is the most effective and efficient arises
as a result of the consolidation.
During the first year and a half of the War of 1812 the United
States Army fought with little success against a professional
British Army and Canadian Militia who lacked troops and supplies
due to the ongoing Napoleonic Wars. In October 1813 Great Britain's
allies had defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig. With victory
in Europe behind them, the British began diverting battle proven
troops and supplies to North America. The perception of this policy
changed the complexion of the war to heavily favor the British in
numbers of experienced and battle hardened troops. By comparing the
Ninth and Tenth Military Districts the question this study will
investigate is, "How did the United States Army prepare to face the
Napoleonic War veteran British Army during the last year (1814) of
the American War of 1812?" The two factors that were most imposing
on them during this preparatory phase, besides the enemy, were
support and political-military relationships. Critical to this
study is the political--military relationship between the Secretary
of War and his military district commanders. Additionally, the War
of 1812 will be used as an example to help the United States
understand and gain insights from history about how to initiate
homeland defense today.
