How Groups Encourage Misbehavior explores the psychological and
social processes by which groups develop a tolerance for and even
encourage misbehavior. Drawing from decades of research on social,
cognitive and organizational psychology, as well as a deep well of
historical research, this book shows how commitment to groups,
organizations and movements can turn moral individuals into amoral
agents. Pulling together what have been traditionally distinct
areas of study, How Groups Encourage Misbehavior provides a
detailed and unified account of how good organizations go bad and
how groups of all types can push otherwise honest and upright
individuals to behave in ways that violate laws and social norms.
This text describes how social norms, rationalization, the
characteristics of formal and informal groups, attachment to groups
and organizations, and the structure of organizational life can all
contribute to misbehavior. Each chapter includes one or more
sidebar discussions of relevant and interesting examples to
illustrate the ways groups and organizations encourage and support
misbehavior. The final two chapters discuss how many of these same
attributes and processes can be used to encourage positive
behaviors and foster recovery from dysfunctional and corrupt
cultures and modes of behavior. A valuable text for a broad range
of psychology courses, How Groups Encourage Misbehavior will
especially appeal to practitioners, scholars, and students
interested in ethics in organizations and the intersection between
social psychology and organizational behavior.
The Routledge History of American Sexuality brings together
contributions from leading scholars in history and related fields
to provide a far-reaching but concrete history of sexuality in the
United States. This interdisciplinary group of authors explores a
wide variety of case studies and concepts to provide an innovative
approach to the history of sexual practices and identities over
several centuries. Each chapter interrogates a provocative word or
concept to reflect on the complex ideas, debates, and differences
of historical and cultural opinions surrounding it. Authors
challenge readers to look beyond contemporary identity-based
movements in order to excavate the deeper histories of how people
have sought sexual pleasure, power, and freedom in the Americas.
This book is an invaluable resource for students or scholars
seeking to grasp current research on the history of sexuality and
is a seminal text for undergraduate and graduate courses on
American History, Sexuality Studies, Women's Studies, Gender
Studies, or LGBTQ Studies.

In examining both theory and applications, this book, through
useful examples, provides a stimulating introduction to ecosystems.
It examines the nature, types and characteristics of ecosystems as
well as investigating the interactions between various systems and
human actions.
Using functional ecology as the basis for applying the ecosystem
concept in contemporary environmental science and ecology, this
second edition of this highly successful volume has been updated to
reflect the latest research. It incorporates a strengthened theme
in the use of functional ecology in explaining how ecosystems work
and how the ecosystem concept may be used in science and applied
science, and coverage of the interactions between humans and
ecosystems has been substantially bolstered with the addition of
chapters on human impacts and large scale impacts on ecosystems,
and global environmental change and the consequences for
ecosystems.
Presented in a student-friendly format, this book features boxed
definitions, examples, case studies, summary points, discussion
questions and annotated further reading lists. It provides a
concise and accessible synthesis of both ecosystem theory and its
applications, and will be a valuable resource for students of

"Kevin Murphy has written an important book. It steers a course
between the prevailing historical orthodoxy that dismisses the
Russian Revolution of October 1917 as a disastrous aberration and
the so-called 'revisionists' who have portrayed Stalinism as a
phenomenon with strong popular roots." --Alex Callinicos, Professor
of European Studies, King's College London and member of Isaac and
Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize Committee "Kevin Murphy has
produced an outstanding and original work that is a must-read for
all those interested in Soviet history.The judges of the annual
Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize have fittingly chosen
this book as their winner for 2005, for which they deserve
congratulations." --Capital and Class "Murphy draws on an abundant,
varied, and multilayered documentary evidence.a tremendous
contribution.we all stand in his debt." --New Politics "The workers
of the Hammer and Sickle factory come alive here in an exciting
story of struggle, victory, and defeat. Their voices ring out to us
across the years, as we join them in their meetings and on the shop
floor, at the height of revolutionary hopes and the defeats of the
Stalin years. Murphy offers an unprecedented view of dissent and
accommodation at the grassroots level." --Wendy Goldman, Carnegie
Mellon University "Murphy has given us an impeccably researched
case study of the vicissitudes of workers politics on the shop
floor, which charts the rise and fall of worker activism....This is
not a monolithic working class of revolutionary heroes or atomized
victims, but a politically and ideologically diverse and
contradictory group whose daily struggles and internal battles
Murphy charts with subtlety and precision." --Donald Filtzer,
University of East London, UK "Kevin Murphy's brilliant new study
offers fresh insights into how the political struggle in Russia
reverberated in the factories before, during, and after 1917.
Significantly, it illuminates the many ways in which Stalinism was
asserted on the shop floor." --Andrei Sokolov, The Institute of
Russian History, Russian Academy of Sciences "The archives have
been open now for fifteen years and few historians of revolutionary
Russia have tested previously held assumptions and interpretations
of the past through systematic studies of primary source material
as Murphy has achieved in this study. --The Russian Review Why did
the most unruly proletariat of the Twentieth Century come to
tolerate the ascendancy of a political and economic system that, by
every conceivable measure, proved antagonistic to working-class
interests? Revolution and Counterrevolution is at the center of the
ongoing discussion about class identities, the Russian Revolution,
and early Soviet industrial relations. Based on exhaustive research
in four factory-specific archives, it is unquestionably the most
thorough investigation to date on working-class life during the
revolutionary era. Focusing on class conflict and workers'
frequently changing response to management and state labor
policies, the study also meticulously reconstructs everyday life:
from leisure activities to domestic issues, the changing role of
women, and popular religious belief. Its unparalleled immersion in
an exceptional variety of sources at the factory level and its
direct engagement with the major interpretive questions about the
formation of the Stalinist system will force scholars to
re-evaluate long-held assumptions about early Soviet society. Kevin
Murphy teaches history at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.
His current writing projects include A People's History of the
Russian Revolution and a study of the role of trade unions in
Soviet society.
In a 1907 lecture to Harvard undergraduates, Theodore Roosevelt
warned against becoming "too fastidious, too sensitive to take part
in the rough hurly-burly of the actual work of the world."
Roosevelt asserted that colleges should never "turn out
mollycoddles instead of vigorous men," and cautioned that "the
weakling and the coward are out of place in a strong and free
community."
A paradigm of ineffectuality and weakness, the mollycoddle was
"all inner life," whereas his opposite, the "red blood," was a man
of action. Kevin P. Murphy reveals how the popular ideals of
American masculinity coalesced around these two distinct
categories. Because of its similarity to the emergent "homosexual"
type, the mollycoddle became a powerful rhetorical figure, often
used to marginalize and stigmatize certain political actors. Issues
of masculinity not only penetrated the realm of the elite, however.
Murphy's history follows the redefinition of manhood across a
variety of classes, especially in the work of late
nineteenth-century reformers, who trumpeted the virility of the
laboring classes.
By highlighting this cross-class appropriation, Murphy
challenges the oppositional model commonly used to characterize the
relationship between political "machines" and social and municipal
reformers at the turn of the twentieth century. He also
revolutionizes our understanding of the gendered and sexual
meanings attached to political and ideological positions of the
Progressive Era.

This is the tale of a son and daughter of Ireland, who emigrated at
the turn of the twentieth century. They met and married in
Brockton, Massachusetts. The "shoe city" was at its peak with
almost 100 shoe and boot factories. The average worker earned $3.75
a day, the highest wage in the world. Mary Ann Sullivan grew up in
a dirt-floor, stone hut in Derrylea, County Mayo. One by one, Mary
Ann's father put his seven children on Cunard liners bound for
America. In 1908, it was Mary Ann's turn and, soon enough, she
became a domestic servant in Brockton. Denis Murphy was from
Killarney, County Kerry, and sailed to America in 1894 with his
mother and three siblings. His father went on ahead to work at R.
B. Grover Shoes in Brockton. Eventually, Denis Murphy became a
hoseman with the Brockton Fire Department. In 1918, Mary Ann met
Denis at a dance. Two years later, they married and birthed three
boys-Thomas, Robert and Edward. By dint of native intelligence and
hard work, the boys all became medical doctors. Brockton's shoe
industry was a tree lying across a raging river that allowed a few
Irish-Americans to reach higher ground. Soon enough, the water tore
the tree away, just as Brockton's 100 chuffing, snorting shoe
factories relocated or closed their doors. Today, every last one is
gone.
