During the American Civil War, Maryland did not join the Confederacy but nonetheless possessed divided loyalties and sentiments. These divisions came to a head in the years that followed the war. In Loyalty on the Line, David K. Graham argues that Maryland did not adopt a unified postbellum identity and that the state remained divided, with some identifying with the state's Unionist efforts and others maintaining a connection to the Confederacy and its defeated cause. Depictions of Civil War Maryland, both inside and outside the state, hinged on interpretations of the state's loyalty. The contested Civil War memories of Maryland not only mirror a much larger national struggle and debate but also reflect a conflict that is more intense and vitriolic than that in the larger national narrative. The close proximity of conflicting Civil War memories within the state contributed to a perpetual contestation. In addition, those outside the state also vigorously argued over the place of Maryland in Civil War memory in order to establish its place in the divisive legacy of the war. By using the dynamics interior to Maryland as a lens for viewing the Civil War, Graham shows how divisive the war remained and how central its memory would be to the United States well into the twentieth century.

Clinical Interventions in Criminal Justice Settings balances theoretical frameworks and research methodology to examine the effective evidence-based practices and principles for populations within the criminal justice system. The book explores the major clinical issues that are relevant for adopting evidence-based practices and demonstrates how to implement them. Topics include legislation, law enforcement, courts, corrections, actuarial assessment instruments, treatment fidelity, diverse populations, mental illness, substance use and juvenile delinquency. Clinical Interventions in Criminal Justice Settings models opportunities for evidence-based practice during entry into the criminal justice system (arrest), prosecution (court, pretrial release, jail, and prison), sentencing (community supervision, incarceration), and corrections (jail, prison, probation and parole).

This balanced and innovative collection explores the relationship of Shakespeare's plays to the changing face of early modern religion, considering the connections between Shakespeare's theatre and the religious past, the religious identities of the present and the deep cultural changes that would shape the future of religion in the modern world.

There is a reason why people claim great respect for officers of the law: the job, by description, is hard-if not deadly. It takes a certain kind of person to accept the consequences of the job- seeing the very worst situations, on a regular basis, and knowing that one's life is on the line every hour of every day. Working in law enforcement is emotionally and psychologically draining. It affects these public servants both on and off the job. Said plainly, shaking an officers' hand when you see them or posting a sign in the front yard that reads "Support the Badge" is lip service. Even going as far as to donate money to a crowdsourcing fundraising site does little to support the long-term professional development needs of officers. These are surface level signs of solidarity, and do little in terms of showing respect for the job and those who do it. For those who want to do more, this text provides reasons and a rationale for doing better by these public servants. Showing respect does not mean that one agrees with whatever another person or institution claims to be the "right" way. Showing respect and admiration means that we charge individuals to live up to their fullest potentials and integrate innovation wherever possible. In the case of policing in the era of Black Lives Matters, policing as usual simply is not an option any longer. It is disrespectful, to both the officers and those who are being policed, to rest on the laurels of past policing tactics. As we enter a time period in which police interactions are recorded (dash cams or body cams, for example) and new populations are being targeted (Latinx people), there is much to learn about what is working and what is not.

Lunar Helium-3 mines, a space elevator, Martian microbes, iShields, theistic tech-savvy terrorists, and a love story. What more could you want? It's later on in the century, when the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are melting, the seas are rising, polar bears are only found in zoos, the only ski resorts are near the Arctic Circle, and the finest wines come from Scandinavia. The only remaining oil reserves of any significance lie in Africa under the control of North American Union troops. When renewable sources of energy failed to live up to their promise, the world turned to fusion reactors fed by Helium-3 mined on the moon. The infrastructure constructed to support this option includes a lunar mining base, a fleet of lunar transport ships, a 35,700 kilometer high space elevator, and a worldwide evacuated-tube train system that travels at speeds up to 3,000 kilometers per hour. Johan Taylor, known as Oxy by his friends, doesn't mind the extremely long days and equally long nights. He has a great job and works with people that respect him. Although, it isn't quite as exciting as the time he had ascended the face of Everest, it isn't exactly boring, either. And he takes satisfaction in knowing how to keep the lunar mines running that supply Helium-3 to the Earth's fusion reactors. However, he doesn't understand what drives the elusive terrorist group, the Sowers of God, to attack these very same reactors; or why a former co-worker, and friend, had left the lunar base to join the group. Oxy longs to rekindle a lost relationship with Adrianna, the only woman he had ever really loved, but now she's preparing to travel to Mars to investigate a discovery so significant, it hasn't even been completely revealed to the astronauts. But when Oxy finds something on the moon's surface that entirely defies explanation, it sets him on a course of self-discovery that will have him rethink his values, re-unite with someone from his past, and risk his life in the midst of a cataclysm to rescue those that mean the most to him. His greatest concern, though, is whether he will ever see Adrianna again.

This book documents the earliest numbered patents issued by the United States. From the first patent act in 1790 through the summer of 1836, patents were not given a reference number. Instead, they were referred to solely by the name of the inventor and the date of issue. The practice of patents being numbered sequentially began in 1836, with patent number one issued in July. The sequence is still in place today: utility patent 7,000,000 was issued in 2006. In addition to utility patents, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office also designates design and plant patents. Design patents began in 1843 and plant patents began in 1931. The purpose of this book is to provide a record of the number, issue date, inventor, and title of the first 10,000 numbered patents, issued from July 1836 to September 1853. All of the information was abstracted directly from the published patent, rather than using a compiled patent index. The book includes a name index to inventors.
