Raising the Eleventh Pillar brings to life the debates surrounding
ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Delegates to the New York
State Ratifying Convention first debate the nature of
representative government before considering issues such as the
size of the lower house and recall. Drawing on primary sources,
Federalists and Antifederalists must convince undecided voters-and
the ending could prove explosive. From the award-winning Reacting
to the Past community, Flashpoints is a new series of immersive
role-playing activities designed to help students bring historical
ideas and forces to life. Games are designed to take about one week
of class time in a survey course, between two and four class
sessions. Drawing on primary sources to craft arguments and inform
debates, students develop critical thinking and historical empathy.
Classroom-tested materials for students and instructors ensure a
smooth "flipped classroom" experience.

The debate on whether or not people are born homosexual (biological
essentialist theory) or become homosexual during the course of
their lives (social constructionist theory) continues as each side
claims to prove the truth through research and clinical findings.
This breakthrough book shows the fissures in concepts of the gay
and lesbian identity and the one-sidedness of both biological
essentialist and social constructionist versions of both sexual and
gender identity. The editors present an alternative view--sexual
and gender expression is a product of complementary biological,
personal, and cultural influences in If You Seduce a Straight
Person, Can You Make Them Gay?Through theoretical analysis,
ethnographic and empirical data, and case studies, the editors show
how the one-sidedness of both biological essentialist and social
constructionist versions of sexual and gender identity make it
difficult, if not impossible, to conceptually determine the origin
of an individual s sexual expression. This thought-provoking book
covers many topics that are sure to cause readers to re-evaluate
their thinking about the origins of gay and lesbian identity. Among
the topics examined with this fresh perspective are: Childhood
Cross-Gender Behavior and Adult Homosexuality Gay and Lesbian
Teachers and Coming Out Homosexuality, Marriage, Fidelity, and the
Gay Community: Case of Gay Husbands Can Seduction Make Straight Men
Gay? Gay and Lesbian Identities in Non-industrialized
Societies--Surinam (Dutch New Guinea), Turkey, Nicaragua, and
Argentina Political-Economic Construction of Gay Male
IdentitiesReaders will clearly see that the controversy over the
being born gay or becoming gay debate is far from resolved. From
the beginning, the book explores how human beings are less
constrained by biology than many would like to believe. Social
circumstances and economics cause some determination of identity,
but not exclusively. Theoretical introductions to each chapter
attempt to synthesize elements on both sides of this most
contemporary debate.
Playwright Steven Dietz once said playwrights have “the
adaptability of cockroaches”—that they’re able to nimbly
adjust to new circumstances and mediums. This was never in greater
evidence than during the coronavirus pandemic, when—with theaters
shuttered and stages darkened—writers and performers across the
world scrambled to master the art of theater via remote video. Even
as life haltingly returns to normal, it is clear that the
experiences of 2020-21 have dramatically altered the landscape of
theatermaking, as artists continue to refine and deploy the lessons
learned during a period of seat-of-the-pants experimentation. This
groundbreaking anthology brings together new works from both
emerging and established playwrights to explore the rich
opportunities afforded by streaming theater. They reveal a range of
styles and approaches to storytelling: encompassing both
traditional and experimental plays, from solo pieces to large-cast
dramas, and taking place within single settings, multiple settings,
or even in a utopian “nowhere.” Throughout, these selections
all help to bring playwrighting fully into our new era, embodying
the sense of magic that comes from simple moments of human
connection, even when we cannot be together.
Meet the InvestiGators. With their gadgets, know-how, and
super-fast transportation system (they flush themselves down

of mysteries and frequently butt heads with their archnemesis: a
former agent known as Crackerdile. Riddled with puns, potty humour,
absurdism, and hilarious twists, InvestiGators is the perfect
series for Dog Man fans looking for their next great read! It's
kid-friendly comics at their best.
Advances in Heat Transfer, Volume 56, presents the latest in a
serial that highlights new advances in the field, with this updated
volume presenting interesting chapters written by an international
board of authors.
Johannesburg was still a brash mining town, better known for the
production of wealth than knowledge, and the University of the
Witwatersrand a mere ten years old when, in 1932, these ten
lectures were delivered under the auspices of the University
Philosophical Society. They portrayed the ideas of the university's
leading academics of the day, and the programme of lectures reveals
a studied effort to introduce an element of bipartisan political
representation between English and Afrikaner in South Africa by
including Wits' first principal, Jan Hofmeyr, and politician, D.F.
Malan, as discussion chairs. Yet, no black intellectuals were
represented and, indeed, the politics of racial segregation bursts
through the text only in a few of the contributions. For the most
part, race is alluded to only in passing. As Saul Dubow explains in
his new introduction to this re-issue of the lectures, Our Changing
World-View was an occasion for Wits' leading faculty members to
position the young university as a mature institution with a
leadership role in public affairs. Above all, it was a means to
project the university as a research as well as a teaching
institution, led by a vigorous and ambitious cohort of
liberal-minded intellectuals. That all were male and white will be
immediately apparent to readers of this reissued volume. Ranging
from economics, psychology, a spurious rebuttal of evolution to a
substantial revisionist history and the perils of the 'machine
age', this book is a sombre reflection of intellectual history and
the academy's role in promulgating political and social divisions
in South Africa.
