This volume will describe both growth-inhibitory and
mucin-depleting effects of bromelain and N-acetylcysteine, on their
own or in combination, in cancer. It will coherently review the
pathophysiological aspects of the mucin glycoproteins in
malignancies and provide an updated account of the status of
bromelain and N-acetylcysteine in cancer therapy. The volume will
develop the idea of using these two drugs as a combination
formulation for mucin-depleting effects.
Since 1945, the Jewish population in Germany has grown steadily and there has been a flourishing of "Jewish" culture in Germany. Does this development mean that Jews are playing a significant role in German social life or that the German-Jewish relationship, often referred to as a kind of symbiosis, has re-emerged? The essays in this book cover the changes in German society since 1945 in Jewish communities, literature, theater, film, architecture, and other areas including an examination of the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Austria.
The high rates of Black arrests and incarceration from 1960-1990
were a direct result of deliberate government policies and a
zealous criminal justice system, under the patriotic umbrella of
the War on Crime. This stateside war shared a lot of similarities
with the Vietnam war happening simultaneously: racism and extreme
cruelty towards those seen as the enemy, deprecation of the others'
culture, forceful use of a militarized police with combat
experience, repeated failure to observe human rights, and mass
incarceration. Unfortunately, this conflict continued long after
the Vietnam war ended. This book reviews those dark times,
analyzing it's causes, short- and long-term effects, and calls for
change.
Holy Hype: Religious Fervor in the Advertising of Goods and the
Good News defines and explores the intersection of the
sacred-religious symbols, themes, and rhetoric-within the profane
realm of advertising and promotion. Susan H. Sarapin and Pamela L.
Morris trace the historical overlap of consumer and religious
ideologies in society, offering detailed examples of its use
throughout history through analyses of over a hundred collected
advertisements, from monks selling copiers, to billboard messages
from God, to angels and the worship of vodka. Throughout the book,
the authors continually evaluate if and when the technique of 'holy
hype' is effective through its use of recognizable sacred symbols
that capture audiences' attentions and inspire both positive and
negative emotions. Scholars of communication, media studies,
religion, advertising, and cultural studies will find this book
particularly useful.
Originally published in 1984, The Image of the Middle Ages in
Romantic and Victorian Literature looks at the impact of
medievalism in the 18th and 19th centuries and the importance of
post-Enlightenment literary religious medievalism. The book
suggests that religious medievalism was not a superficial cultural
phenomenon and that the romantic spirit with which it was
chronologically connected, was intimately associated with the
metaphysical. The book suggests that this belief gave birth to the
metaphysical yearning and cultural expression of the eighteenth and
nineteenth century. The book seeks to clarify the
post-Enlightenment relationship between aesthetic culture and
'aesthetic' religion, romanticism, medievalism and religious
trends.
What does it really mean to "proclaim the good news of God in
Christ" and to "continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship,
in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers?" These promises
from the baptismal rite of the Book of Common Prayer have become
very familiar to most Episcopalians, but they have yet to be fully
lived out in most congregations. In this lively and accessible
guide, Clayton Morris argues that everyone present on Sunday
mornings has a ministry of hospitality, coming together in a
proclamation of welcome to all.
The thirteen fascinating essays in this book bring together
theoretical articles and practical planning strategies to create a
how-to guide for worship. The editors have compiled the work of
eighteen lay people and clergy actively serving the Church today in
a variety of ministries. Article topics include style in worship,
liturgical space, the role of the arts, dance, small church issues,
etc. The planning strategies describe how to form a parish worship
committee, to evaluate worship, to welcome children, to design
service leaflets, to compose intercessions, to celebrate the
Triduum, etc. The book carries the publisher's permission for
non-commercial reprinting of articles for local parish use. It is
ideal for instruction or discussion in the worship committee or
parish study groups. (160 pp)

Although the study of politics dates to ancient Greece, the basic
questions that interested those earliest political scientists still
linger with us today: What are the origins of government? What
should government do? What conditions foster effective governance?
Rational choice theory offers a new means for developing
correctable answers to these questions. This volume illustrates the
promise of rational choice theory and demonstrates how theory can
help us develop interesting, fresh conclusions about the
fundamental processes of politics. Each of the book's three
sections begins with a pedagogical overview that is accessible to
those with little knowledge of rational choice theory. The first
group of essays then discusses various ways in which rational
choice contributes to our understanding of the foundations of
government. The second set focuses on the contributions of rational
choice theory to institutional analysis. The final group
demonstrates ways in which rational choice theory helps to
understand the character of popular government.
Presidential scholars increasingly turn to science to address the
fundamental issues in the field, but undergraduates are rarely
taught the skills to do the same. The American Presidency
introduces students to new insights produced by the scientific
study of the presidency and the scientific endeavor itself. After
chapters on the scientific study of the presidency and background
information on the presidency, the text discusses prominent
theories of presidential power. Chapters on presidential elections,
the president's relationship with other political actors (such as
Congress and the Supreme Court), the president's role in foreign
and economic policy, and presidential greatness include guided
research exercises that provide students with the opportunity to
apply the scientific method to empirical questions with significant
theoretical content. The American Presidency provides students with
the opportunity to learn about the presidency and enables them to
draw their own reasoned conclusions about the nature of
presidential power.

As migration alters the southern political landscape, partisan
battle lines will be drawn between the Democrat-leaning areas of
growth and the increasingly Republican areas of decline and
stagnation. The Democratic Party is gaining support in the South,
but the prevailing explanations of partisan shift fail to capture
how and why this transformation has come about. In Movers and
Stayers, Irwin Morris develops a new theory that explains the
Democrats' renewed influence in the region and empirically
demonstrates the influence of population growth. As Morris shows,
migratory patterns play a significant role in politics, and
urbanization is driving polarization in the South. Those who move
to cities-the "movers" of Morris's framework-do so for jobs, and
they tend to be progressive, young, well-educated Democrats. Their
liberal views tend to be reinforced by the diversity of the
communities in which they choose to live, and their progressivism
fosters similar values among long-term residents. At the same time,
"stayers" (long-term residents) absorb the consequences-or
"community threat"-of this large-scale migration. While white
stayers tend to become more conservative, the effects on voter
behavior play out differently across racial lines. Both movers and
stayers are altering the southern political landscape and
polarization nationwide. Powerfully counterintuitive, Movers and
Stayers provides a game-changing way of understanding one of the
most confounding trends in American politics.

Since 1950, the South has undergone the most dramatic political
transformation of any region in the United States. The once
Solid-meaning Democratic-South is now overwhelmingly Republican,
and long-disenfranchised African Americans vote at levels
comparable to those of whites. In The Rational Southerner, M.V.
Hood III, Quentin Kidd, and Irwin L. Morris argue that local
strategic dynamics played a decisive and underappreciated role in
both the development of the Southern Republican Party and the
mobilization of the region's black electorate. Mobilized blacks who
supported the Democratic Party made it increasingly difficult for
conservative whites to maintain control of the Party's machinery.
Also, as local Republican Party organizations became politically
viable, the strategic opportunities that such a change provided
made the GOP an increasingly attractive alternative for white
conservatives. Blacks also found new opportunities within the
Democratic Party as whites fled to the GOP, especially in the deep
South, where large black populations had the potential to dominate
state and local Democratic Parties. As a result, Republican Party
viability also led to black mobilization.
Using the theory of relative advantage, Hood, Kidd, and Morris
provide a new perspective on party system transformation. Following
a theoretically-informed description of recent partisan dynamics in
the South, they demonstrate, with decades of state-level,
sub-state, and individual-level data, that GOP organizational
strength and black electoral mobilization were the primary
determinants of political change in the region. The authors'
finding that race was, and still is, the primary driver behind
political change in the region stands in stark contrast to recent
scholarship which points to in-migration, economic growth, or
religious factors as the locus of transition. The Rational
Southerner contributes not only to the study of Southern politics,
but to our understanding of party system change, racial politics,
and the role that state and local political dynamics play in the
larger context of national politics and policymaking.
