Cluster Randomised Trials, Second Edition discusses the design,
conduct, and analysis of trials that randomise groups of
individuals to different treatments. It explores the advantages of
cluster randomisation, with special attention given to evaluating
the effects of interventions against infectious diseases. Avoiding
unnecessary mathematical detail, the book covers basic concepts
underlying the use of cluster randomisation, such as direct,
indirect, and total effects. In the time since the publication of
the first edition, the use of cluster randomised trials (CRTs) has
increased substantially, which is reflected in the updates to this
edition. There are greatly expanded sections on randomisation,
sample size estimation, and alternative designs, including new
material on stepped wedge designs. There is a new section on
handling ordinal outcome data, and an appendix with descriptions
and/or generating code of the example data sets. Although the book
mainly focuses on medical and public health applications, it shows
that the rigorous evidence of intervention effects provided by CRTs
has the potential to inform public policy in a wide range of other
areas. The book encourages readers to apply the methods to their
own trials, reproduce the analyses presented, and explore
alternative approaches.
Details Lawrence's reception of Melville and reveals his
underacknowledged role in the Melville Revival, while contributing
to the history of the book and the study of the creative process.
How Lawrence Read Melville is a highly focused account of D. H.
Lawrence's discovery and reception of Herman Melville, from when he
first read Moby-Dick as a young man to his final references to
Melville in his late works. It shows Lawrence's initial reaction to
Moby-Dick; how it led him to other works by Melville, namely Typee
and Omoo; and how Melville affected Lawrence's critical and
creative writing and shaped his philosophy. This book is a study of
the creative process that shows how one great writer inspired
another, but it also makes a major contribution to the history of
the book and two of its subfields: the history of reading, and
reception studies. By his death in 1891, Melville had been
forgotten except by a small circle of English enthusiasts. That
group put Lawrence onto Melville, whereupon he became a - until now
largely unacknowledged - leader of the Melville Revival that
rescued the great writer from obscurity. This Swiss army knife of a
book will appeal to scholars and booklovers alike.
During the height of the Cold War, passionate idealists across the
US and Africa came together to fight for Black self-determination
and the antiracist remaking of society. Beginning with the 1957
Ghanaian independence celebration, the optimism and challenges of
African independence leaders were publicized to African Americans
through community-based newspapers and Historically Black Colleges
and Universities. Inspired by African independence—and frustrated
with the slow pace of civil rights reforms in the US—a new
generation of Black Power activists embarked on nonviolent direct
action campaigns and built alternative institutions designed as
spaces of freedom from racial subjugation. Featuring interviews
with activists, extensive archival research, and media analysis,
Robin Hayes reveals how Black Power and African independence
activists created a diaspora underground, characterized by
collaboration and reciprocal empowerment. Together, they redefined
racial discrimination as an international human rights issue
requiring education, sustained collective action, and global
solidarity—laying the groundwork for future transnational racial
justice movements, such as Black Lives Matter.

The doctrine of hell is one of the most difficult and unsavory
theological topics. In Four Views on Hell, leading biblical
scholars meet this subject head-on, discussing the four primary
views on what the Scriptures say about divine punishment. Is hell
to be understood literally as a place of eternal smoke and flames?
Or are such images simply metaphors for a real but different form
of punishment? Is there such a thing as "conditional immortality,"
in which God annihilates the souls of the wicked rather than
punishing them endlessly? Is there a Purgatory, and if so, how does
it fit into the scope of biblical interpretation? Here, scholars
who affirm an inspired Bible, relevant and authoritative for every
era, present models they consider most faithful to Scripture:
Literal - defended by John F. Walvoord Metaphorical - defended by
William Crockett Conditional - defended by Clark Pinnock
Purgatorial - defended by Zachary Hayes Each view in turn is
presented, respectfully critiqued by the others, and defended. This
evenhanded approach is ideal for comparing views in order to form a
personal conclusion about one of Christianity's toughest doctrines.
The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of
scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both
fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a
one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different
positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
A comprehensive guide to the work of Jacob Robert Kantor, and a
must-have for anyone interested in behaviour analysis or cognitive
behavioural science. Often overlooked or misunderstood, the work of
American psychologist Jacob Robert Kantor is finally being
recognized for its contribution to contextual behaviour sciences.
This important volume brings Kantor's prescient work into the
twenty-first century, teaching readers the foundations and unique
features of interbehaviorism in a straightforward way and exploring
the profound effects it has in applied domains like
perspective-taking, feelings and emotions, interpersonal
relationships, and more. In this volume, you'll find detailed
explanations of Kantor's theory, as well as its research
assumptions and foundations. Whether you're a behaviour therapist,
contextual behaviour scientist, behaviour analyst, student of
behaviour analysis, or simply interested in the history of
interbehaviorism and its modern applications, this book is an
essential addition to your professional library.
These innovative essays take a comparative approach to queer
studies while simultaneously queering the field of comparative

focusing not only on comparative praxis, but also on interrogating
our assumptions and categories of analysis, "Comparatively Queer"
powerfully transforms the paradigms of comparison.

This volume contains the proceedings of Formal Methods 2005, the
13th InternationalSymposiumonFormalMethodsheldinNewcastleuponTyne,
UK, during July 18 22, 2005. Formal Methods Europe (FME,
www.fmeurope.org) is an independent association which aims to
stimulate the use of, and research on, formal methods for system
development. FME conferences began with a VDM Europe symposium in
1987. Since then, the meetings have grown and have been held about
once every 18 months. Throughout the years the symposia have been
notablysuccessfulinbringingtogetherresearchers, tooldevelopers,
vendors, and users, both from academia and from industry. Formal
Methods 2005 con?rms this success. We received 130 submissions to
the main conference, from all over the world. Each submission was
carefully refereed by at least three reviewers. Then, after an
intensive, in-depth discussion, the Program Committee selected 31
papers for presentation at the conference. They form the bulk of
this volume. We would like to thank all the Program Committee
members and the referees for their excellent and e?cient work.
Apart from the selected contributions, the Committee invited three
keynote lectures from Mathai Joseph, Marie-Claude Gaudel and Chris
Johnson. You will ?nd the abstracts/papers for their keynote
lectures in this volume as well.

A vital collection of interdisciplinary essays that illuminates the
significance of Marian shrines and promises to teach scholars how
to “read” them for decades to come. American Patroness: Marian
Shrines and the Making of US Catholicism is a collection of twelve
essays that examine the historical and contemporary roles of Marian
shrines in US Catholicism. The essays in this collection use
historical, ethnographic, and comparative methods to explore how
Catholics have used Marian devotion to make an imprint on the
physical and religious landscape of the United States. Using the
dynamic malleability of Marian shrines as a starting place for
studying US Catholicism, each chapter reconsiders the American
religious landscape from the perspective of a single shrine to Mary
and asks: What does this shrine reveal about US Catholicism and
about American religion? Each of the contributors in American
Patroness examines why and how Marian shrines persist in the
twenty-first century and subsequently uses that examination to
re-read contemporary US Catholicism. Because shrines are not
neutral spaces—they reflect and shape the elastic yet strict
boundaries of what counts as Catholic identity, and who controls
prayer practices—the studies in this collection also shed light
on the contested dynamics of these holy sites. American Patroness
demonstrates that Marian shrines continue to be places where an
American Catholic identity is continuously worked on, negotiations
about power occur, and Marian relationships are fostered and
nurtured in spaces that are simultaneously public and intimate.

The story of the critical reception of Crane's great Civil War
novel from its publication to the present, with particular
attention to the effects of later wars on that reception. Stephen
Crane's masterpiece The Red Badge of Courage was a sensation when
it first appeared in 1895: many readers were astonished that this
upstart, born after the Civil War, had written the single best
novel on the subject. It remains one of the best books on the
experience of war in American literature. Since its publication,
The Red Badge has been repeatedly subjected to new scrutiny - not
only by the passing of time and the changing of critical trends,
but by every new war - to see if Crane's story still holds its
power. So far, it has done so, not just in the eyes of literary
critics but also among soldiers. The two world wars, Korea,
Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: all
these have shaped the book's critical reception; and veterans, many
of whom have commended Crane's insight into the experience of
battle, have significantly affected how it has been read and
understood. After World War I, Red Badge was closely associated
with modernist novels written by those with wartime experience,
Ernest Hemingway most importantly. After World War II and Korea,
the book resonated with the manyveterans the G.I. Bill brought into
the classroom to study American literature, some of whom became
critics themselves. And during and after Vietnam and the other
controversial wars that have followed, Crane's book has continuedto
call forth a steady stream of critical response. Kevin J. Hayes's
book is the story of the critical reception of The Red Badge both
in and out of war.

A major concern about the global expansion of nuclear power is the
potential spread of nuclear fuel cycle technology (particularly
uranium enrichment and spent fuel processing) that could be used
for nuclear weapons. Despite 30 years of effort to limit access to
uranium enrichment, several undeterred states pursued clandestine
nuclear programs, the A.Q. Khan black market network's sales to
Iran and North Korea representing the most egregious examples.
However, concern over the spread of enrichment and reprocessing
technologies may be offset by support for nuclear power as a
cleaner and more secure alternative to fossil fuels. This book
explores the history of reactor and fuel cycle technologies
development with a focus on the policy implications of expanding
global access to nuclear power and U.S. uranium reserve estimates.
