Synthesizing current understandings on the relationship between
transport and land use, this timely Handbook proposes an agenda for
research and practice that leads toward more human-centered
communities within an increasingly urbanized world facing rapid
technological change. Ā Leading scholars reframe and expand
conventional transport policy holistically with concepts grounded
in behavioral, economic, psychological and sociological theories in
this fundamental reference work. Chapters explore the role of
institutional policies and informal cultural contexts in
influencing transport and land use systems, before examining the
impacts of transportation and land use decisions across multiple
areas, including equity, public health, climate, environment, and
lifestyle preferences. The Handbook concludes by emphasizing
pathways for human-centered development, planning, and policy in an
age of rapid innovation in new mobility technologies. Ā
Outlining the fundamental, emerging and developing theories,
methods, models and policies across the fields of transportation
and land use, this interdisciplinary Handbook will be invaluable to
students and scholars of urban planning and transport studies.
Setting an agenda for future research and policy initiatives, it
will also prove a useful resource to policymakers and practitioners
working within transport and land use planning.
A basic premise of public scholarship is making academic work and
related ideas accessible and available to publics. Media
engagement, whether interviews with news journalists, or the use of
hashtags, is a necessary feature of any public scholarship. Media
formats play a fundamental and interactive role in how people
ultimately come to view and understand the social world having had
a discernable influence on election outcomes, responses to global
pandemics, and so on. The question is not whether scholars should
engage with media but how to do so. Drawing on fifteen years of
experience that includes hundreds of print, radio, and television
news interviews, dozens of published opinion pieces, and the use of
social media for public engagement, this book outlines a practical
easy-to-follow approach to doing public sociology in media that
consists of, and brings together, interrelated forms of media
engagement. This book also offers some advice pertaining to career
advancement and provides strategies to avoid negative experiences.
Doing Public Scholarship will be of general interest to those
wanting to go public with their research.
Existential-Integrative Psychotherapy promises to be a landmark in
the fields of psychotherapeutic theory and practice. A
comprehensive revision of its predecessor, The Psychology of
Existence, co-edited by Kirk Schneider and Rollo May,
Existential-Integrative Psychotherapy combines clear and updated
guidelines for practice with vivid and timely case vignettes. These
vignettes feature the very latest in both mainstream and
existential therapeutic integrative application, by the top
innovators in the field. The book highlights several notable
dimensions: a novel and comprehensive theory of integrative
existential practice; a premium on mainstream integrations of
existential theory as well as existential-humanistic integrations
of mainstream theory; a focus on integrative mainstream as well as
existential-humanistic practitioners, students, and theorists; a
discussion of short-term and cognitive-behavioral
existential-integrative strategies; a focus on ethnic and
diagnostic diversity, from case studies of multicultural
populations to vignettes on gender, sexuality, and power, and from
contributions to the treatment of alcoholism to those elucidating
religiosity, psychoses, and intersubjectivity.

This collection of essays is the third iteration in a series of
publications dealing with Olympic studies that initially developed
out of the tripartite relationship between Western University
(Canada), Victoria University, Melbourne (Australia), and the
German Sport University Cologne (Germany). However, for this
collection, papers were solicited from around the world in order to
approach the topic from different and much wider perspectives. To
this end, this book combines a diverse range of scholarly analyses
that seek to understand how the recognition of the voices of
athletes have developed over many decades. In essence, the sequence
of chapters in this book are based around three perspectives,
namely: the lives and biographical profiles of athletes; the
decision-making processes of, and for, athletes; and the formal and
informal institutional representation of athletes. While the
touchstone is primarily the voices of athletes associated with
Olympic-related sports, consideration is also given to the actions
and opinions of athletes expressed in other sporting spheres. This
book was originally published as a special issue of The
International Journal of the History of Sport.
A book-world veteran offers the first copyediting guide focused
exclusively on fiction. Although The Chicago Manual of Style is
widely used by writers and editors of all stripes, it is primarily
concerned with nonfiction, a fact long lamented by the fiction
community. In this long-awaited book from the publisher of the
Manual, Amy J. Schneider, a veteran copyeditor who's worked on
bestsellers across a wide swath of genres, delivers a companionable
editing guide geared specifically toward fiction copyeditors-the
first book of its type. In a series of approachable thematic
chapters, Schneider offers cogent advice on how to deal with
dialogue, voice, grammar, conscious language, and other significant
issues in fiction. She focuses on the copyediting tasks specific to
fiction-such as tracking the details of fictional characters,
places, and events to ensure continuity across the work-and
provides a slew of sharp, practicable solutions drawn from her
twenty-five years of experience working for publishers both large
and small. The Chicago Guide to Copyediting Fiction is sure to
prove an indispensable companion to The Chicago Manual of Style and
a versatile tool for copyeditors working in the multifaceted
landscape of contemporary fiction.
Participants from Couch-Stone Symposium 2014 have transformed their
presentations into elegant papers for this collection. Chapters
fall into three categorical themes, largely reflecting their
position in the symposium but, more importantly, reflecting a
natural progression in scope of symbolic interactionist work in
music: moving from observations of the individual to observation of
organizations to interdisciplinary observations of music from
scholars in related disciplines.
Defining Sexual Misconduct investigates shifts in media coverage of
sexual violence and details significant changes in public discourse
about sexual harm. In 2015, the New York Times ran just a single
headline with the term "sexual misconduct." Three years later, it
ran scores of such headlines, averaging more than one per week, and
expanded coverage across other media organizations followed. This
shift in coverage is reflective of significant changes in public
discourse about sexual harm helping to hold some perpetrators
accountable for their behaviour and paved the path for #MeToo and
related movements against sexual abuse and harm to receive national
and global attention. In Defining Sexual Misconduct, Stacey Hannem
and Christopher Schneider trace contemporary shifts in power in
relation to the increased recognition and censure of sexual
misconduct and the ways in which the shifting social landscape is
communicated in the coverage of sexual misconduct in media. Hannem
and Schneider also examine the contemporary dynamics of public
accusations and their relationship to more formal criminal justice
processes, as well as the implications for the stigmatization of
alleged abusers and public response to alleged victims. Since
behaviours categorized as sexual misconduct may not all be defined
as crimes, or punishable through legal means, social censure and
cancel culture often stand as proxy forms of punishment, and the
authors reflect on what the pursuit of justice might look like in
this extra-legal context.
Academics often direct their research 'across' in order to examine
issues that grip members of the middle classes, or 'down' in order
to understand the difficulties workers and other marginalized
groups endure. Research that is directed 'up' at individuals and
groups with positions of greater wealth and power is less common,
yet 'studying up' can contribute to our understanding of growing
inequality, economic polarization and social change by studying the
rich, powerful and elite in our society. Presenting the latest
empirical case studies from Canada, The USA and Australia, this
volume explores the challenges and difficulties involved in
conducting research amongst the rich and elite, whilst shedding
light on the manner in which power is harnessed, protected and
controlled to manage and manipulate resources. A demonstration of
the importance of studying up to our understanding of
decision-making, governance and the nature of contemporary
democracy in the global economy, Researching Amongst Elites will be
of interest to sociologists, anthropologists and geographers
working in areas such as social research methods, social
stratification, the sociology of elites and relations of class,
wealth and power.

This book considers ethical arguments about performance enhancing
drugs in sport in a global context. It examines:
* The forces that are bringing about the debate of ethical issues
in performance enhancing drugs in sport
* The sources of ethical debates in different continents and
countries
* The variation of ethical arguments in different cultural,
political, ideological and sports systems.
Whilst there has been a significant body of work that has looked at
the importance of ethical issues in performance enhancing drugs in
sport - there has been little, if any, consideration of the various
ethical concepts in different countries and cultures involving
sport. This is a major omission. This book fills the gap and
provides a thorough review and analysis of the ethical literature
on performance enhancing drugs in sport in the global society. It
makes a major contribution to the worldwide anti-doping campaign in
sport.
This volume was previously published as a special issue of the
journal Sport In Global Society.
Proposes an interdisciplinary solution to the "Thoreau problem"
through the connection between his ecological study of nature and
his intense interest in the emerging social sciences. Recent
book-length studies of Thoreau have focused either on his place in
the history of the natural sciences or have applied political
principles to his works. None, however, has fully addressed what
ecocritic Rebecca Solnit calls "the Thoreau problem," the
compartmentalizing of Thoreau's mind into either that of a hermit
of nature or that of a champion of social reform. This book
proposes an interdisciplinary solution to this problem through the
connection between Thoreau's ecological study of nature and his
intense interest in the emerging social sciences, especially the
history of civilization and ethnology. The book first establishes
Thoreau's "human ecology," the relation between the natural
sciences and the social sciences in his thinking, exploring how his
reading in contemporary books about the history of humanity and
racial science shaped his thinking and connecting these emerging
anthropological texts to his late nature writings. It then
discusses these connections in his major works, including Walden
and his "reform papers" such as "Civil Disobedience," the travel
narrative A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, The Maine
Woods, and Cape Cod. The concluding chapter focuses on Thoreau's
attitude toward Manifest Destiny, arguing, against conventional
views, that considering both his life and his writing, especially
the essay "Walking," we must conclude that he both accepted and
endorsed Manifest Destiny as an inevitable result of cultural
succession. Richard J. Schneider is Professor Emeritus from
Wartburg College. He has authored a monograph and many articles as
well as edited three collections on Thoreau.

In order to prepare a successful research project, a qualitative
researcher often must consult media documents of various types.
Authors David L. Altheide and Christopher J. Schneider show readers
how to obtain, categorize, and analyze these different media
documents in this entry in the Qualitative Research Methods series.
They look at traditional primary documents such as newspapers and
magazines but also at more recent forms--television newscasts and
cyberspace. The use of student examples of research protocols makes
this book a useful primer in deriving meaning from the bombardment
of media documents a qualitative researcher faces.

The research area of graph grammars and graph transformations dates
back only two decades. But already methods and results from the
area of graph transformation have been applied in many fields of
computer science, such as formal language theory, pattern
recognition and generation, compiler construction, software
engineering, concurrent and distributed systems modelling, and
database design and theory. This volume contains 24 selected and
revised papers from an international seminar held in Dagstuhl,
Germany, in 1993. The papers cover topics in the following areas:
foundations of graph grammars and transformations; and applications
of graph transformations to concurrent computing, specification and
programming, and pattern generation and recognition.
The Second Edition of the cutting edge work, The Handbook of
Humanistic Psychology, by Kirk J. Schneider, J. Fraser Pierson and
James F. T. Bugental, represents the very latest scholarship in the
field of humanistic psychology and psychotherapy. Set against
trends inclined toward psychological standardization and
medicalization, the handbook offers a rich tapestry of reflection
by the leading person-centered scholars of our time. Their range in
topics is far-reaching-from the historical, theoretical and
methodological, to the spiritual, psychotherapeutic and
multicultural.
New essays on the most prominent German dramatist and short-story
writer of the early 19th century. For over 150 years, Heinrich von
Kleist (1777-1811) has been one of the most widely read and
performed German authors. His status in the literary canon is
firmly established, but he has always been one of Germany's most
contentiously discussed authors. Today's critical debate on his
unique prose narratives and dramas is as heated as ever. Many
critics regard Kleist as a lone presager of the aesthetics and
philosophies of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century
modernism. Yet there can be no question that he responds in his
works and letters to the philosophical, aesthetic, and political
debates of his time. During the last thirty years, the scholarship
on Kleist's work and life has departed from the existentialist wave
of the 1950s and early 1960s and opened up new avenues for coming
to terms with his unusual talent. The present volume brings
together the most important and innovative of these newer scholarly
approaches: the essays include critically informed, up-to-date
interpretations of Kleist's most-discussed stories and dramas.
Other contributions analyze Kleist's literary means and styles and
their theoretical underpinnings. They include articles on Kleist's
narrative and theatrical technique, poetic and aesthetic theory,
philosophical and political thought, and insights from new
biographical research. Contributors: Jeffrey L. Sammons,Jost
