This book presents a positive account of Aristotle's theory of
political economy, arguing that it contains elements that may help
us better understand and resolve contemporary social and economic
problems. The book considers how Aristotle's work has been utilized
by scholars including Marx, Polanyi, Rawls, Nussbaum and Sen to
develop solutions to the problem of injustice. It then goes on to
present a new Social Welfare Function (SWF) as an application of
Aristotle's theory. In exploring how Aristotle's theories can be
applied to contemporary social welfare analysis, the book offers a
study that will be of relevance to scholars of the history of
economic thought, political theory and the philosophy of economics.

This book discusses current issues in literacy teacher education
and illuminates the complexity of supporting self-efficacious
educators to teach language and literacy in the twenty-first
century classroom. In three sections, chapter authors first detail
how teacher education programs can be revamped to include content
and methods to inspire self-efficacy in pre-service teachers, then
reimagine how teacher candidates can be set up for success toward
obtaining this. The final section encourages readers to ruminate on
the interplay among teacher candidates as they transition into
practice and work to have both self- and collective- efficacy.

A collection of essays on the ways the senses 'speak' on
Shakespeare's stage. Drawing on historical phenomenology, science
studies, gender studies and natural philosophy, the essays provide
critical tools for understanding Shakespeare's investment in
staging the senses.
This new volume of essays examines the relationship between
Catholicism and homosexuality. Why did so many literary Modernists
embrace Catholicism? What is their relationship between historical
homophobia and contemporary struggles between the Church and the
homosexual? Moving from the Gothic to the late Twentieth-century,
from Britain to America and France, "Catholic Figures, Queer
Narratives" interrogates what is queer about Catholicism and what
is modern about homosexuality. The result is a radical revision of
the sacred - in life and art, the body and devotion.
In this fresh and exciting re-reading of Acts - which some have
termed the "Gospel of the Holy Spirit" - twenty-three scholars and
practitioners of Christian mission and ministry reflect of key
texts from the perspective of the contemporary apostolate.
Reflecting the best available scholarship, the authors consistently
make connections between the biblical text and their own personal
narratives. From contexts as varied as church-planting among Asian
immigrants to archaeological work at the University of
Pennsylvania, they intertwine their personal narratives with the
practice of theology in a myriad of postmodern contexts.

No one likes to be misunderstood. Misunderstandings from strangers
are difficult enough to deal with but when misunderstanding is
coming from family members it is much harder to cope with. Victims
of Asperger's Syndrome are often victims of misunderstanding and
ridicule..... Read this book to gain a better understanding of this
syndrome and how a mother helps to find ways for her son to live a
more normal life. As you follow this mother and son's amazing
journey, you will also learn about many ancient Chinese legends,
history, culture....and much more, such as the characteristics of
this Syndrome, the details of how they explore the natural ways
without any side effects to recover gradually. This book has so
much to offer....
Introduction
It's like a miracle to me that my son has finally completed
writing his one year journey of China. It's hard to believe that a
boy who brought home report cards since elementary school
containing teachers comments such as;"a bright boy,
but..."disorganized," "does not work up to his potential," "is
using reading to escape," "has little motivation to be part of the
class," "does not follow instruction," "can not stay on task," has
now finished this big project of writing a book......... "Hidden
disability" is a killer that produces a huge amount of
misunderstanding for sufferers and contributes to their
frustration, depression, even self-destruction. In my son's case,
we used to think he had no motivation or was looking to escape,
while he felt overwhelmed with information and would retreat due to
his slower informational processing compared to the neural typical
person. We thought he was just simply "lazy" or to attached to the
internet and other distractions with a lack of self control when he
did not hand in homework, while, in reality he had difficulty to
extend his short attention span. We thought he did not pay any
effort or even try when he could not learn how to tie his shoe
laces or how to sweep up a room, while actually he was struggling
with weak motor skills and poor body coordination. We thought he
lying when he denied things when the truth was starring him in his
face, such as denying not brushing his teeth when we could see his
tooth brush was bone dry. We thought he was so rude when he showed
some awkward speech or other socially unacceptable behavior, while
he had no way to understand a neural typical person's standard and
lack of the social skills to start, carry, and end a conversation.
Worst of all, we thought he is such a disrespecting rebelling
teenager when he mumbled or gave a "don't know" to any questions he
was asked, while he is actually lacking the abilities in
comprehension and verbal expression.

Eugenics -- the study of human racial progress through selective
breeding -- frequently invokes images of social engineering,
virulent racism, immigrant persecution, and Nazi genocide, but
Vermont's little known adventure in eugenics shows the inherent
adaptability of eugenics theory and methods to parochial social
justice. Beginning with genealogies of Vermont's rural poor in the
1920s, and concluding in the 1930s with an expose of ethnic
prejudice in Vermont's largest city, this story of the Eugenics
Survey of Vermont explores the scope, limits, and changing
interpretations of eugenics in America and offers a new approach to
the history of progressive politics and social reform in New
England.
Inspired and directed by Zoology Professor Henry F. Perkins, the
survey, through social research, political agitation, and education
campaigns, infused eugenic agendas into progressive programs for
child welfare, mental health, and rural community development.
Breeding Better Vermonters examines social, ethnic, and religious
tensions and reveals how population studies, theories of human
heredity, and a rhetoric of altruism became subtle, yet powerful
tools of social control and exclusion in a state whose motto was
"freedom and unity."
For over three decades, the law has recognised the importance of
encouraging Federal employees to come forward with reports of any
violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or gross mismanagement,
a gross waste of funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and
specific danger to public health or safety. This book explores the
extent to which Federal employees perceive wrongdoing, the extent
to which they report the wrong-doing they see, and what factors
influence their decisions to remain silent or to blow the whistle.
The Bible took shape over the course of centuries, and today
Christian groups continue to disagree over details of its contents.
The differences among these groups typically involve the Old
Testament, as they mostly accept the same 27-book New Testament. An
essential avenue for understanding the development of the Bible are
the many early lists of canonical books drawn up by Christians and,
occasionally, Jews. Despite the importance of these early lists of
books, they have remained relatively inaccessible. This
comprehensive volume redresses this unfortunate situation by
presenting the early Christian canon lists all together in a single
volume. The canon lists, in most cases, unambiguously report what
the compilers of the lists considered to belong to the biblical
canon. For this reason they bear an undeniable importance in the
history of the Bible. The Biblical Canon Lists from Early
Christianity provides an accessible presentation of these early
canon lists. With a focus on the first four centuries, the volume
supplies the full text of the canon lists in English translation
alongside the original text, usually Greek or Latin, occasionally
Hebrew or Syriac. Edmon L. Gallagher and John D. Meade orient
readers to each list with brief introductions and helpful notes,
and they point readers to the most significant scholarly
discussions. The book begins with a substantial overview of the
history of the biblical canon, and an entire chapter is devoted to
the evidence of biblical manuscripts from the first millennium.
This authoritative work is an indispensable guide for students and
scholars of biblical studies and church history.
