The adventures of a boy who is cast upon the Atlantic shore of a Southern State and taken into the home of one of the leading families. The youth grows up as a member of the family, knowing little or nothing of his past. Set at the time of the Civil War, fears of battle and bloodshed fill him and his adopted clan.

This collection of essays examines the ways in which disputes and controversies about the application of scientific knowledge are resolved. Four concrete examples of public controversy are considered in detail: the efficacy of Laetrile, the classification of homosexuality as a disease, the setting of safety standards in the workplace, and the utility of nuclear energy as a source of power. The essays in this volume show that debates about these cases are not confined to matters of empirical fact. Rather, as is seen with most scientific and technical controversies, they focus on and are structured by complex ethical, economic, and political interests. Drs. Engelhardt and Caplan have brought together a distinguished group of scholars from the sciences and humanities, who sketch a theory of scientific controversy and attempt to provide recommendations about the ways in which both scientists and the public ought to seek more informed resolutions of highly contentious issues in science and technology. Scientific Controversies is offered as a contribution to the better understanding of the roles of both science and nonscientific interests in disputes and controversies pertaining to science and technology.

Often overlooked, the student demonstration at Bowling Green State University was the first and most successful sixties campus protest one that speaks volumes about America s transition from the social mores of the 1950s to 1960s activism. What began as a protest against outdated rules about dating and student behavior quickly turned toward political objectives about civil liberties and ousted the university president.The authors, two of whom were present on campus during the demonstration, tell the story of what began as dissent against the old schoolmarm rules a fifties-style protest and how it quickly transformed into a full-fledged sixties crusade, using the new issues, tactics, and identities of the new decade. A major force was an early flexing of feminist muscles. When the uprising succeeded, largely through female leadership, the civil liberties of women were brought up to date.Drawing on the sociological ideas of Weber, Durkheim, and Marx, this book depicts how young activists broke the fifties mold, little aware that many of their ideals would be echoed in the Port Huron Statement just a year later, the Berkeley Free Speech Movement subsequently, many important sixties protests. It is also a vivid portrait of how the 50s became the 60s in America."

"Conducting Meta-Analysis Using SAS" reviews the meta-analysis statistical procedure and shows the reader how to conduct one using SAS. It presents and illustrates the use of the PROC MEANS procedure in SAS to perform the data computations called for by the two most commonly used meta-analytic procedures, the Hunter & Schmidt and Glassian approaches.
This book serves as both an operational guide and user's manual by describing and explaining the meta-analysis procedures and then presenting the appropriate SAS program code for computing the pertinent statistics. The practical, step-by-step instructions quickly prepare the reader to conduct a meta-analysis. Sample programs available on the Web further aid the reader in understanding the material.
Intended for researchers, students, instructors, and practitioners interested in conducting a meta-analysis, the presentation of both formulas and their associated SAS program code keeps the reader and user in touch with technical aspects of the meta-analysis process. The book is also appropriate for advanced courses in meta-analysis psychology, education, management, and other applied social and health sciences departments.

Written by a group of international experts in their field, this book is a review of Lagrangian observation, analysis and assimilation methods in physical and biological oceanography. This multidisciplinary text presents new results on nonlinear analysis of Lagrangian dynamics, the prediction of particle trajectories, and Lagrangian stochastic models. It includes historical information, up-to-date developments, and speculation on future developments in Lagrangian-based observations, analysis, and modeling of physical and biological systems. Containing contributions from experimentalists, theoreticians, and modellers in the fields of physical oceanography, marine biology, mathematics, and meteorology, this book will be of great interest to researchers and graduate students looking for both practical applications and information on the theory of transport and dispersion in physical systems, biological modelling, and data assimilation.

Analyzes four cases of scientific controversy in detail to demonstrate how disputes and controversies about the application of scientific knowledge are resolved. Considers disputes over the efficacy of laetrile, the classification of homosexuality as a disease, the setting of safety standards in the work place, and the utility of nuclear energy as a power source.

Description Hypertension Control and Cure without Medication The information in this book is the personal experience and testimony of an Intermediate Elderly man who had to deal with Primary Hypertension; the Type that has no known Medical Cause or Cure. Realizing that there are millions of people who have this same Medical Condition gave him, equally, millions of reasons why he needed to write this book. He will cover four years as a victim, patient, and victor or conqueror of Primary Hypertension; however, during the last two of the four years, he was on his own using his Alternative Treatment without medication, at the age of 81; and he perfected his Cure at the age of 83. He starts his book by explaining the True Definition of Hypertension; what it is not and what it is; that statement might be considered controversial to some who would define Hypertension as a Disease. This man accepted his doctor's diagnosis and definition of his Medical Condition as Primary Hypertension, a Chronic Disease with no known Medical Cause or Cure; he also accepted his doctor's prescribed medication to treat his Hypertension. After being convinced that Hypertension is not a Disease but is a Symptom, he implements his Alternative Treatment; which is an "Eight Step Plan," without the use of Prescription Medication, that addresses each step of the Plan and how each step contributes to his total person, Body, Mind, Soul, and Spirit: 1. Diet/Menu; 2. Water; 3. Air; 4. Exercise; 5. Monitoring; 6. Courage; 7. Faith; 8. Spirituality. Each of these steps dealt with a particular aspect of what and who he is. In other words, he will explain how Food, what he ate, was only one-fourth of what he is; how Water, what he drank, was one-fourth of what he is; how Air, what he breathed, was one-fourth of what he is; and how Spirituality, what he believed and practiced, was one-fourth of what he is. In Spirituality he explains not only what he is, but also who he is. How he accomplished his Hypertension Control and Cure, especially to those who are dealing with the same Medical Condition, may find his experience and testimony interesting, entertaining, enticing, and/or maybe useful. However, he wishes you the best in obtaining and maintaining your Health and Wellness. By Arthur Davis, Jr.

In A Spiritual and Ethical Compendium to the Torah and Talmud, Rabbi Dr. Arthur Segal dissects each of the Torah's weekly sections (parashot) using the Talmud and other rabbinic texts to show the true Jewish take on what the Torah is trying to teach us. This companion to Rabbi Segal's The Handbook to Jewish Spiritual Renewal: A Path of Transformation for the Modern Jew brings the Torah alive with daily relevance to the Modern Jew. All of the Torah can be summed up in one word: Chesed. It means kindness. The Talmud teaches that the Torah is about loving our fellow man and that we are to "go and study." The rest is commentary. This compendium clarifies the commentary and allows one to study Torah and Talmud to learn the Judaic ideals of love, forgiveness, kindness, mercy and peace. A must read for all Jews and deserves a place in every Jewish home.
