This timely book challenges conventional critical wisdom about the
work of Ben Jonson. Looking in particular at his Jacobean and
Caroline plays, it explores his engagement with concepts of
republicanism. Julie Sanders investigates notions of community in
Jonson's stage worlds - his 'theatrical republics' - and reveals a
Jonson to contrast with the traditional image of the writer as
conservative, absolutist, misogynist, and essentially
'anti-theatrical'. The Jonson presented here is a positive
celebrant of the social and political possibilities of theatre.
This book looks at a sample of female drug addicts seeking recovery
in Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Through working the Twelve Steps and
by attending women-only groups, these women are able to confront
the double standard that makes recovery from addiction especially
difficult.
While garnering the attention of professionals across disciplines,
from medicine to public health to psychology, and frequently
covered as a topic of public concern in the news media, the
elevated occurrence of suicide attempts among LGBTQ persons has
received little attention within the literature of theology and
religious studies. This book fills that lacuna by addressing the
role that religious, spiritual, and theological narratives play in
shaping the souls of queer folk. Taking a narrative approach to
qualitative interview material from LGBTQ individuals who survived
their suicide attempts, Cody J. Sanders argues that theological
narratives can operate violently upon the souls of LGBTQ people in
ways that make life precarious and, at time, seem unlivable. The
book critically addresses the violence of theological narratives
upon queer souls, filling a crucial void in scholarship concerning
the role of religion-specifically Christianity-in LGBTQ suicide.
Ultimately, the author draws upon the interview material to move
readers toward constructive methods of contributing to the
resistance and resilience of queer souls in relation to soul
violence, asking how we can intervene with practices of care in
order to cultivate livability of life for queer people.

The world of work is rapidly changing. What then do 21st century
workplaces look like, and what factors are supporting these
workplace changes? Globalisation, financial and labour market
deregulation, and rapid technological advances have accelerated
workplace change and skill requirements. Organisations, for
example, need to increasingly manage geographically diverse and
technologically-mediated workplace relationships. Advances in
artificial intelligence and automation are further questioning the
future and nature of work itself. This book identifies and examines
the institutions, frameworks and technologies that are emerging to
support these new work practices. It analyses changing work
environments, entrepreneurial and self-employment strategies,
global virtual labour markets and the impacts of data analytics and
automation on work practices and skill sets. It is critical for
governments, practitioners and academics to better understand how
to harness the benefits and meet the challenges of these new
organisational workplace practices. Further, it requires informed
choices and decisions on the part of individuals, as they seek to
log on to work in the 21st century.

Mesodenn is a key tissue in early development. It is involved in
the differentiation of almost every organ in the body, not merely
as a structural component, but as an active participant in the
establishment of diverse cell types. All mesodenn is derived from
ectoderm. Its appearance signals the start of a significant new
phase in the development of the embryo. At this time all three genn
layers are now present and myriad sequences of cell and tissue
interactions begin to occur which will eventually give rise to the
entire embryo. The control of the growth and differentiation of the
mesoderm is critical for the production of a normal individual.
Indeed, disturbance of the patterning of the mesoderm or of its
interaction with other tissues plays a critical part in the
fonnation of most congenital anomalies. The main focus of this book
is therefore on the establishment, divergence and specialisation of
mesodermal derivatives. The central role of the mesoderm in
development has long been appreciated and a wide literature exists
on its activity in certain specialised situations. Recently,
however, an impetus to its study has been provided by new
approaches opened up through biotechnological advances. Many of
these advances are reflected in the reports in this volume.
Scientists from various disciplines have become drawn to mesodermal
tissues, and this volume may help them find a framework within
which their work will fit.

Sixty-fifth annual volume, focusing notably on Shakespearean drama
and the poetry of early modern England but with essays on a variety
of other topics relevant to the period. Renaissance Papers collects
the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern
Renaissance Conference. The 2018 volume features essays presented
at the conference at Queens University of Charlotte, North
Carolina, as well as essays submitted directly to the journal. The
volume opens with four essays on Shakespearean drama, offering
readings ranging from the heteroglossia in Henry VIII to the limits
of language in King Lear, social networks in Anthony and Cleopatra,
and epiphanic excursions in the Shakespearean corpus. The next
essays look at iconology, agency, and alterity on the early modern
stage and colonial Peruvian art. The journal then returns us to the
poetry of early modern England. The first of this group explores
the perils of poor reading in The Countess of Montgomery's Uriana
and is followed by essays investigating the aesthetic connection
between Spenser and Catullus and the sacred circularities in John
Donne's "Good Friday 1613. Riding Westward." The volume concludes
with an extended consideration of meritocracy and misogyny in the
works of Ben Jonson. Contributors: Nathan Dixon, Lisandra Estevez,
Melissa J. Rack, Robert Lanier Reid, Rachel M. De Smith Roberts,
Deneen Senasi, Jonathon Shelley, Kendall Spillman, John Wall, and
Don E. Wayne. The journal is edited by Jim Pearce of North Carolina
Central University and Ward Risvold of the University of
California, San Diego.

In the years after the war the problem of population and especially
the birth-rate movements excited general interest in all countries.
In the Netherlands also all kinds ot scientific men occupied
themselves with this subject; not only economists, sociologists and
theologians but also medical men studied the population problem in
all its various aspects. It has appeared that it is only possible
to obtain a complete analysis of the population problem by making a
careful scientific investigation of every part of it. Evidently
this was also the author's conception of the problem. By examining
25000 families he submitted the birth-rate movement of a large town
to a scientific investigation. Neither political nor religious or
other than scientific motives prompted him in undertaking this
work; the examination was begun and ended quite objectively which
lends this book its value. For only an objective examination of
s~tch a complex phe- nomenon like the birth-rate movement is of
importance for science. The examination was inspired by the working
program of the I nterna- tional Union for the scientific
Investigation of Population Problems. It produces surprising
results and shows in figures how natality presented itself in a
metropolis like Rotterdam during the last fifty years. It is to be
hoped that this study may be followed by many similar in-
vestigations, also for the country.
This textbook for Naval Academy midshipmen focuses on search and
detection theory as it was developed in World War II and evolved
after the war. Accessible to anyone with a mathematical background,
it covers analytical decision-making, simulation techniques, and
models used in determining the probability of detection. This third
edition is a comprehensive update that collects in one place the
basic analytical developments in naval search theory over the last
fifty years, while retaining the material on the models of search
theory developed in the campaigns against the submarine threat in
World War II. With recent improvements in stealth technology, the
need to become more knowledgeable about search theory is
increasing.
Written by a child sex trafficking survivor who is now a trained
professional in the field - a rising star who will likely be a
national presence in the growing cause to prevent child sex
trafficking.This is NOT a memoir; rather, the author uses her story
to help the reader understand how someone ends up in trafficking --
usually because of childhood trauma/abuse, etc. Author was recently
appointed as the very first City of Phoenix (Arizona) Survivor
Spokesperson for Child Sex Trafficking Prevention and she's won
numerous awards for her efforts in prevention and advocacy.Child
sex trafficking is a very hot topic nationally and internationally.
Federal, state, and local governments are placing emphasis on
research for prevention, identification and rehabilitation of
victims.This book gets at the root causes of trafficking - what
leads up to it - instead of focusing on a survivor story or how to
help those already in it. The focus is to help adults--parents,
coaches, teachers, counselors, or even someone at the grocery
store-- recognize signs of abuse or vulnerability--and how to do
something about it. How we can all intervene.Author is highly
motivated to promote this book at her many speaking engagements.
