British-Turkish relations were transformed in the first half of the
20th century, from a state of belligerence during the First World
War, through a period of heated confrontation over the fate of
Mosul and trade and business access to the new Republic of Turkey,
to rapprochement and financial cooperation in the 1930s, and
finally a formal military alliance under the auspices of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organisation. The edited collection provides a
selection of important chapters by senior and early-career scholars
from Britain, Turkey, and the wider world. The chapters use new
sources to address issues as diverse as the Turkey-Iraq frontier,
colonial governance in Cyprus, the legal rights of foreigners in
Istanbul, commercial relations through the era of the Great
Depression, contested neutrality in the Second World War, and the
search for new alliances in the Cold War. Knowledge of this
tumultuous transition and its impact on public memory is key to
understanding points of tension and cohesion in present-day
UK-Turkey relations. The chapters in this book were originally
published in the journals Middle Eastern Studies and the Journal of
Balkan and Near Eastern Studies.
The movement of humans across borders is increasing
exponentially-some for benign reasons, others nefarious, including
terrorism, human trafficking, and people smuggling. Consequently,
the policing of human movement within and across borders has been
and remains a significant concern to nations. Policing Global
Movement: Tourism, Migration, Human Trafficking, and Terrorism
explores the nature of these challenges for police, governments,
and citizens at large. Drawn from keynote and paper presentations
at a recent International Police Executive Symposium meeting in
Malta, the book presents the work of scholars and practitioners who
analyze a variety of topics on the cutting edge of global policing,
including: Western attempts to reform the policing of sex tourists
in the Philippines and Gambia Policing the flow of people and goods
in the port of Rotterdam Policing protestors and what happened at
the 2010 G20 Summit in Toronto Mexico's use of the military in its
war against drug trafficking Public-private cooperation in the
fight against organized crime and terrorism in Australia
Recommendations for police reform in Afghanistan Sweden's national
counterterrorism unit Treatment of asylum seekers in a privately
run detention center in South Africa The policing of human
trafficking for the sex trade in sub-Saharan Africa, Vietnam,
Australia, and Andhra Pradesh, India Examining areas of increasing
concern to governments and citizens around the world, this timely
volume presents critical international perspectives on these
ongoing global challenges that threaten the safety of humans
worldwide.

Drawing from the authors' own work and from the most recent
developments in the field, Missing Data in Longitudinal Studies:
Strategies for Bayesian Modeling and Sensitivity Analysis describes
a comprehensive Bayesian approach for drawing inference from
incomplete data in longitudinal studies. To illustrate these
methods, the authors employ several data sets throughout that cover
a range of study designs, variable types, and missing data issues.
The book first reviews modern approaches to formulate and interpret
regression models for longitudinal data. It then discusses key
ideas in Bayesian inference, including specifying prior
distributions, computing posterior distribution, and assessing
model fit. The book carefully describes the assumptions needed to
make inferences about a full-data distribution from incompletely
observed data. For settings with ignorable dropout, it emphasizes
the importance of covariance models for inference about the mean
while for nonignorable dropout, the book studies a variety of
models in detail. It concludes with three case studies that
highlight important features of the Bayesian approach for handling
nonignorable missingness. With suggestions for further reading at
the end of most chapters as well as many applications to the health
sciences, this resource offers a unified Bayesian approach to
handle missing data in longitudinal studies.
This Interpretive Lexicon has two primary functions aimed at
facilitating the exegetical and translational task, namely as a
lexicon and also as an interpretive handbook. First, this book
lists the vast majority of Greek prepositions, adverbs, particles,
relative pronouns, conjunctions, and other connecting words that
are notorious for being some of the most difficult words to
translate. For each word included, page references are given for
several major lexical resources where the user can quickly go to
examine the nuances and parameters of the word for translation
options. This book will save considerable time for students of the
Greek New Testament text. For example, for the Greek preposition en
(occurs 2,750 times in the New Testament) covers four pages of
small print in the Bauer-Danker lexicon (BDAG). But Interpretive
Lexicon digests those pages in just a few lines, with the page
numbers and section references given for A Greek-English Lexicon of
the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd Edition
(BDAG, 00) and 2nd Edition (BAGD, 79), Greek Grammar Beyond the
Basics (Daniel B. Wallace), and Prepositions and Theology in the
Greek New Testament (Murray J. Harris). Thus, the translation
options can be analyzed quickly. For words with a lower frequency
of occurrence and fewer translation options, this book may be
sufficient in itself as a lexicon. Secondly, these prepositions,
conjunctions, adverbs, and connecting words in Greek, as in every
language, function as explicit discourse-level markers that are
essential for ascertaining the main point(s) of a passage.
Therefore, this Interpretive Lexicon also evaluates the discourse
function(s) of each word that is defined and catalogued, and
categorizes its semantic range into defined logical relationships.
This feature of the lexicon adds an interpretive element, since
translation must include interpretation, at least on a linguistic
level. For example, en may be translated in many ways, but those
ways are categorized broadly in this book into relationships such
as locative (in, among, on), means-end (with, by), grounds
(because, on account of), temporal (while, at), and so on. This
interpretive feature of the book is tremendously helpful for the
exegetical process, allowing for the translator to closely follow
the logical flow of the text with greater efficiency. This
Interpretive Lexicon is thus a remarkable resource for student,
pastor, and scholar alike."
This book illustrates how potential flows enter into the general
theory of motions of viscous and viscoelastic fluids.
Traditionally, the theory of potential flow is presented as a
subject called 'potential flow of an inviscid fluid'; when the
fluid is incompressible these fluids are, curiously, said to be
'perfect' or 'ideal'. This type of presentation is widespread; it
can be found in every book on fluid mechanics, but it is flawed. It
is never necessary and typically not useful to put the viscosity of
fluids in potential (irrotational) flow to zero. The dimensionless
description of potential flows of fluids with a nonzero viscosity
depends on the Reynolds number, and the theory of potential flow of
an inviscid fluid can be said to rise as the Reynolds number tends
to infinity. The theory given here can be described as the theory
of potential flows at finite and even small Reynolds numbers.
Rupert Vance is known as one of the principal developers of the
intellectual apparatus of regional sociology, and he observed and
commented for some fifty years on the problems and progress of his
native region. In these wide-ranging articles, Vance masterfully
combines data drawn from historical, demographic, geographical, and
statistical sources with anecdotes, personal recollections, and a
journalist's ability to extract the telling image from a welter of
complex circumstances.
Based on over a decade of original archival research, this book
shows how Urdu travel writing gave voice to a global imagination
that reflected the ambition and aspiration of Indians and
Pakistanis as they negotiated their place in the changing world of
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In this interdisciplinary
study, author Daniel Majchrowicz traces the social and literary
history of the Urdu travelogue from 1840 to 1990 in six
chronological chapters. Each chapter asks how travel writers used
the genre to give meaning to the shifting social and political
realities of their colonial and postcolonial worlds. The book
particularly highlights the role of women writers in the production
of a global imagination in Urdu with an emphasis on travel writing
on Asia and Africa.
This intellectual biography of William Faulkner traces the author's
attempts to liberate himself from the repressive Victorian culture
in which he was raised by embracing the Modernist culture of the
artistic avant-garde. Daniel Singal argues that, to accommodate the
conflicting demands of these two cultures, Faulkner created a
complex and fluid structure of selfhood based on a set of dual
roles - one, a Modernist author writing on the most daring and
subversive issues of his day, and the other, a southern country
gentleman loyal to the conservative mores of his community. Indeed,
Singal says, it is in the clash between these two selves that one
finds the key to making sense of Faulkner and his work.
The years after World War I saw a different sort of war in the
American South, as Modernism began to contest the "New South Creed"
for the allegiance of Southern intellectuals. In "The War Within,"
Daniel Joseph Singal examines the struggle between the
characteristic culture of twentieth-century America and the South's
tenacious blend of Victorianism and the Cavalier myth. He explores
the lives and works of historians Ulrich B. Phillips and Broadus
Mitchell; novelists Ellen Glasgow, William Faulkner, and Robert
Penn Warren; publisher William T. Couch; sociologists Howard Odum,
Rupert Vance, Guy Johnson, and Arthur Raper; and Agrarian poets
John Crowe Ransom, Donald Davidson, and Allen Tate.
The drama Singal unfolds is as much national as regional in its
implications. His sophisticated and original analysis of the
complex relationship between these southern writers and their
heritage enables him to trace the transition to Modernism with
unusual clarity and to address questions of major importance in
American intellectual history: How did Modernism come into being?
Does it display a fundamental, underlying pattern? What are its
essential values, beliefs, and assumptions?
Singal marshals archival and published sources and combines them
with oral history interviews to trace this process of change on the
levels of both formal thought and individual experience. He uses
the interwar South as the locale for a pioneering examination of
the momentous change that has affected all of Western
culture.

I, Cassia Bernard, do solemnly swear to find pure red--my
passion--this summer. Dad's passion is art. When he's painting, no
one can reach him, not even me. My mom's passion was the ocean. She
said the ocean allows you to see whatever you want to see. That was
one of the last things she ever said to me...
Sometimes what your heart desires isn't what it needs. Over the
course of a hot Miami summer, sixteen-year-old Cassia discovers
that sometimes it takes bullies and basketball, a best friend, and
a gorgeous guy to help you understand what you actually need--and
to help you see that, maybe, everything isn't so black and
white.
