The presidency of George W. Bush has been a curious one: born in
contention, challenged by the most dramatic foreign directed attack
on American soil, and transformed by a combination of crisis and
conflict that has generated considerable support domestically. And
yet, while much attention has been focused on the Bush
administration's extrernal policies, how it has pursued its goals
and had its effects on the domestic scene has been as important.
Examining the push and pull of the Bush presidency by looking
especially at domestic dynamics, the authors look at the tendency
towards centralizing power and its implications for American
politics. From the midterm elections of 2002, where the Republicans
scored historic victories, to relations with the press, and from
executive branch relations with Congress to increased federal
involvement in education, the authors examine and shed light on
crucial issues. This book examines how words and deeds in a time of
crisis will define the Bush presidency place in American politics
and history.
What does it take to win the White House? This book helps students
understand both the issues and how and why people vote for one
candidate. After discussing the dynamics of the primary campaigns,
the authors examine three broad sets of issues that play a key role
in voting: foreign policy, domestic policies, and the culture wars.
This sets the foundations for an examination of regional
similarities and differences in voting patterns, as the varying
salience and valence of issues-whether general or specific-is
explored across and within regions. Special attention is paid to
battleground states. Drawing on concepts from political science,
this book advances students' understanding both of the field and
the phenomenon.

Education in the health professions is placing greater emphasis on
"active" learning-learning that requires applying knowledge to
authentic problems; and that teaches students to engage in the kind
of collaboration that is expected in today's clinical practice.
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a strategy that accomplishes these
goals. It transforms passive, lecture-based coursework into an
environment that promotes more self-directed learning and teamwork,
and makes the classroom come "alive."This book is an introduction
to TBL for health profession educators. It outlines the theory,
structure, and process of TBL, explains how TBL promotes problem
solving and critical thinking skills, aligns with the goals of
science and health courses, improves knowledge retention and
application, and develops students as professional practitioners.
The book provides readers with models and guidance on everything
they need to know about team formation and maintenance; peer
feedback and evaluation processes, and facilitation; and includes a
directory of tools and resources.The book includes chapters in
which instructors describe how they apply TBL in their courses. The
examples range across undergraduate science courses, basic and
clinical sciences courses in medical, sports medicine and nursing
education, residencies, and graduate nursing programs. The book
concludes with a review and critique of the current scholarship on
TBL in the health professions, and charts the needs for future
research.

New York Times bestselling author! Here is the story of how Jim
Ross, an Oklahoman farm kid with a vivid imagination and seemingly
unattainable dreams, became "The Voice of Wrestling" to record TV
audiences and millions of fans around the world. There are few
people who have been in the wrestling business longer than Jim
Ross. And those who have made it as long as he has (half a century
to be exact) probably made enemies or burned bridges. But that's
just not JR. He's recognized as the man who built and nurtured a
once-in-a-generation talent roster that took the WWE to new
heights, including "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, and The
Rock to name a few. Readers will finally get the opportunity to
hear never-before-told stories about the politics, wackiness, and
personalities of all the biggest stars. Jim opens up about his life
as an only child on a working farm, who became obsessed with
professional wrestling having first saw it on his grandparent's TV.
Even though the wrestling business was notoriously secretive and
wary of "outsiders," he somehow got a foot in the door to start a
historic career, one where he held almost every job in the
business-from putting up the ring to calling matches, from driving
his blind, drunk boss towards revenge, to consoling two naked 600
pound brothers in the shower room after a rough match. This isn't
just a wrestling story. It's a story about overcoming adversity and
achieving your dreams, as success did not come without significant
costs and unforeseen challenges to JR, including multiple bouts of
severe facial paralysis called Bell's Palsy. Currently the host of
the podcast The Ross Report, any fan of wrestling-from the
territory days to today-will be enthralled with stories from the
road and behind the scenes. Slobberknocker is the first time Ross
tells his story-and you don't want to miss it!

This extensively revised new edition offers a broad-ranging,
systematic and sophisticated introduction contemplating the
institutions and processes of government in the US set in a clear
historical context.
This book identifies the procedures and capabilities that the U.S.
Department of Defense, other agencies of the U.S. government, U.S.
allies and partners, and international organizations require in
order to support the transition from counterinsurgency, when the
military takes primary responsibility for security and economic
operations, to stability and reconstruction, when police and
civilian government agencies take the lead.
Answers the question: Under what circumstances could military
medical assets be requested for support to civil authorities? Even
before September 11, 2001, threat assessments suggested that the
United States should prepare to respond to terrorist attacks inside
its borders. This monograph examines the use of military medical
assets to support civil authorities in the aftermath of a chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear, or conventional high explosives
attack inside the United States. The authors focus on key
questions, including under what circumstances military medical
assets could be requested and what assets are likely to be
requested.
