To date, the study of communicated explanations has been, at best, unsystematic. There has been little recognition that many, if not most, explanations are eventually delivered to a hearer or hearers. These potential audiences constrain the way the explanation is ultimately shaped. Similarly, researchers have devoted themselves to the study of "accounts," for the most part without an accompanying interest in the fundamental processes of event comprehension. This volume is devoted to bridging the gap between these two traditions.

This edited volume establishes a state-of-the-art perspective on theory and research on gender, power, and communication in human relationships. Both theoretical essays and review chapters address issues relevant to female and male differences in power, dominance, communication, equality, and expectations/beliefs. All chapter contributors share two commonalities. First, each provides a 1990s assessment of power and equality in female and male relationships. Second, each reviews respective programs of research and focuses attention on the relevance of this research to understanding the relationships of women and men.
Unique because it incorporates a multidisciplinary approach to the study of gender and the communication of power in human relationships, this book includes the original work of intellectuals with national and international reputations in the social sciences. The volume provides both scholastic breadth and centralized treatment of issues that form the very foundation of social and personal relationships. It will appeal to scholars working in the disciplines of communication and psychology as well as other areas of social science research.

Entertainment-Education and Social Change introduces readers to entertainment-education (E-E) literature from multiple perspectives. This distinctive collection covers the history of entertainment-education, its applications in the United States and throughout the world, the multiple communication theories that bear on E-E, and a range of research methods for studying the effects of E-E interventions. The editors include commentary and insights from prominent E-E theoreticians, practitioners, activists, and researchers, representing a wide range of nationalities and theoretical orientations. Examples of effective E-E designs and applications, as well as an agenda for future E-E initiatives and campaigns, make this work a useful volume for scholars, educators, and practitioners in entertainment media studies, behavior change communications, public health, psychology, social work, and other arenas concerned with strategies for social change. It will be an invaluable resource book for members of governmental and non-profit agencies, public health and development professionals, and social activists.

Historically, the U.S. Army faces numerous challenges planning for counterinsurgency (COIN) operations. Insurgencies by their very nature occur within the context of a complex operating environment that typically last years if not decades. The insurgency that erupted at the conclusion of major combat operations in Operation Iraqi Freedom represents an example of the complex operating environment that planners will continue to face in the future. The best available planning method for operational planners to frame operations over the duration of a protracted campaign is called logical lines of operation. Logical lines of operation provide a method for commanders to visualize and adjust operations over time, space and purpose to contribute to operational objectives and strategic end-state(s). This monograph analyzes the theoretical and historical underpinnings of lines of operation (physical and logical) as well as counterinsurgency operations. Subsequently, an analysis and assessment of both U.S. and British planning and counterinsurgency doctrine provides a look at the effectiveness of current doctrine in addressing the use of logical lines of operation in the complex operating environment. Case studies are analyzed to examine the practical application of logical lines of operation in COIN operations and subsequently determine whether the concept informs current doctrine. The monograph argues that a void exists in both U.S. Army and Joint doctrine with respect to the use of logical lines of operation-particularly with respect to planning COIN operations within protracted campaigns. Consequently, the monograph makes the following recommendations to improve the description and depiction of logical lines of operation in U.S. Joint and Army planning and counterinsurgency doctrine. First, "operationalize" counterinsurgency doctrine by including logical lines of operation as a planning framework. Second, clarify language and terminology across current joint and army doct

In the Bible, the Apostle James makes a statement that is imperative to the Christian. He states in chapter 4 of his letter: " Resist the Devil .,."........ What a powerful statement. In the midst of an outrageously wicked generation, a generation that has lost touch with God and moral and ethical behavior, it is not surprising that the words of James are a direct contrast to what is being lived out in the lives of most people in the world. However this is to be expected in those who do not know God. The pleasures of sin are commonplace among the unsaved and unregenerate. Therefore resisting the Devil is a rather fruitless effort if sought after at all by the sinner. But what about the Christian ? What is our problem? Are we to be categorized as those who have no real answers for the moral struggles we experience as well? Is resisting the Devil a problem in you life? Is restraining yourself from sin a constant battle within you? Is the job of living holy more of a burden than an active pursuit? In order to become an effective participant in the Kingdom of God, holiness is a prerequisite that can never be omitted. God commands us: "Be Holy, just as your father in heaven is Holy." God requires this out of all who follow Jesus Christ. Our strategy then is to resist the Devil, resist evil temptations and to resist those tendencies within us to submit to un-godlike behavior. God has a plan in his Word to bring us into a lifestyle of holy living. It is our responsibility to do what God has prescribed for us. To this end A Matter of Resistance is written.. for you and for me. Daniel J. Cody
