School counselors are tasked with providing strategies for all
students including those who may be experiencing various types of
trauma symptomatology. While there is a high expectation of
providing quality care, there is a question of how well school
counselors are prepared to work with those traumatized students.
This book describes the perceptions of school counselors of how
well they were prepared by their graduate counseling programs to
work with students with trauma and provide insight on how to work
with those students. In order to better serve this young population
of students, it is critical to understand the counselors'
perception of their preparedness to work with them. In response to
the literature of the prevalence and impact of youth trauma and the
apparent scarcity of literature that addresses school counselor
training with this population, this book offers strategies and
interventions to assist school counselors in their school
counseling programs. This comprehensive book prepares potential and
current school counselors to handle the challenges and
responsibilities they may face as professional school counselors,
preschool through high school. It provides a wide range of topics
in-depth, including effective interventions for racism, recognizing
trauma, a school counselor's relationship with administrators,
working with diverse students, a model for advocating on behalf of,
and providing services to children with disabilities.
Performing Auto/biography: Narrating a Life as Activism analyzes
the rhetorical strategies employed in five authors'
auto/biographical texts, examining their representations of
identities and the public implications of writing individual
identity. Exploring the ways race, class, culture, ethnicity,
gender, and sexuality might affect the form(s) in which writers
choose to write (e.g., memoir, fictional autobiography, poetry),
questions how autobiographers challenge notions of genre, truth,
and representation. This builds on the argument that constructing
identity is a Performing Autobiography performance, one that can
simultaneously use and subvert traditional notions of rhetoric and
genre. By examining the auto/biographical texts of Zora Neale
Hurston, Audre Lorde, Dorothy Allison, Joyce Johnson, and Shirley
Geok-lin Lim together, the book theorizes self-representation and
genres as rhetorical performances, and therefore their texts can be
seen as "performative auto/biography"-transgressive archives where
readers are asked to consider their own identities and act
accordingly. In doing so, this book contributes to growing theories
in feminist rhetorics and auto/biography studies, arguing that
these performative genres advocate for life narratives as political
and social activism.
Fictional or real, pirates haunted the imagination of the 18th and
19th century-British public during this great period of maritime
commerce, exploration, and naval conflict. British Pirates in Print
and Performanc e explores representations of pirates through dozens
of stage performances, including adaptations by Byron, Scott, and
Cooper.
This volume provides comprehensive procedures for analyzing the
extracellular matrix in native, injured, and engineered neural
tissues. Divided into four parts, each focusing on different
aspects of the extracellular matrix and the nervous system,
Extracellular Matrix covers methods to analyze native tissue, in
vitro models for investigating cell-extracellular matrix
interactions in a variety of contexts, protocols to investigate the
role of the extracellular matrix in nervous system injury,
degeneration, and regeneration, as well as therapeutics and
engineered systems. Each chapter is written by leading experts and
presents established protocols in a concise format, encompassing
current technologies as well as methods developed over years of
research. Beginning with an introduction to the method, chapters
continue with a listing of the materials and equipment,
step-by-step protocols, and a Notes section with troubleshooting
tips, supplemental details and alternative approaches, as well as a
list of references for further information. As part of the
practical and convenient Neuromethods series, Extracellular Matrix
serves as an invaluable aid for researchers studying this vital
area of neuroscience.

The contents of Colorectal Cancer: Methods and Protocols aim to
instruct investigators in all the key genetic, cellular, and
molecular biological methods of analyzing colorectal tumors. The
focused techniques and assays are described in sufficient detail to
allow researchers to start an experiment on colon tumors and
proceed from beginning to end as if the expert in the field who has
performed these studies were guiding them at the bench. Of note,
most of the chapters in this volume are written by those scientists
who p- neered these methods and assays in their respective fields.
The chapters in Colorectal Cancer: Methods and Protocols describe
"state of the art" methods to analyze colorectal tumors, ranging
from gross mic- dissection of specimens to specific molecular
analyses. Included are coverages of mutational assays, instability
testing, immunohistochemical assays, chro- somal studies, and gene
expression analyses. The goal of our volume is to facilitate the
performance of colorectal tumor biological experiments by
investigators at various levels of training-from graduate students
and postdoctoral fellows to principal investigators who desire to
advance our understanding of colon cancer development.
Of the twenty-five essays in this volume, most were published
between 1961 and 2013, but four are printed here for the first
time. They represent the work of a great and original scholar in
Mediterranean history whose unflagging interest in Frederick II and
his world consistently led him out into broader fields, which he
always viewed in original ways. In an age often called that of
papal monarchy and secular-minded rulers, Powell found popes with
complex agendas and extensive pastoral concerns, a rather more
Christian Frederick II, the human personnel and mechanics of the
Fifth Crusade, the sermons of the devout urban layman Albertanus of
Brescia, and Muslims under Christian rule. His studies here assert
a continuity between the pontificates of Innocent III and Honorius
III as well as the pragmatic necessity that only secular rulers
could launch and direct crusading expeditions. His interest in the
northern Italian communes relates their devotional culture to the
ideals of virtuous government and communal identity. The devotional
culture of the communes was to be the subject of his next book, now
unfinished; several parts of it could be rescued and are now
included here.
This collection demonstrates the use and variety of applications
of time use methodology from multidisciplinary, multinational, and
multicultural perspectives. A distinguished roster of contributors
from such fields as psychology, occupational therapy, sociology,
economics, and architecture examines the complex relationship
between human time utilization and health and well-being and
evaluates the future of time use analysis as a research tool in the
social sciences.
The present volume in our series follows the format of the
immediately in dealing with a topical theme of considerable impor
preceding ones tance in the environment and behavior field. In view
of current and projected demographic trends, it is a certainty that
a broad-ranging set of issues concerned with the elderly and the
physical environment will continue to be of focal pertinence-if not
of increasing importance--in the remaining decades of this century.
The present volume also follows in the tradition of earlier volumes
in the series in being eclectic with respect to content, theory,
and meth odology and in including contributions from a variety of
disciplines, such as anthropology, economics, psychology,
geography, and urban and regional planning. To have encompassed the
whole array of disci plines and topics in this emerging field in a
single volume would have been impossible. We trust that the sample
of contributions that we have selected is provocative and that it
will illustrate the range of problems and topics and point to
promising areas of study and analysis. We are pleased to have M.
Powell Lawton as a guest co-editor for this volume. His
broad-ranging expertise, perceptive judgment, and fine editorial
talents have contributed enormously to the volume."
This book examines the British government's policy towards Ireland during the imperial crisis of 1750-83, focusing on its attempts to reassert control over Ireland's increasingly hostile Protestant parliament and populace. Anglo-Irish relations are placed in a wider imperial framework, taking account of British policy towards its colonies, particularly India and America. This book reassesses the importance of townshend and constant residency; the impact of the north ministry on Irish policy; the significance of legislative independence; the nature of British party attitudes toward Ireland, and the influence of Irish public opinion.
In this collection of studies by James M. Powell, two related
centres of attention can be seen. One is the campaigns undertaken
by western Europeans in the eastern Mediterranean, chiefly in the
late twelfth and thirteenth centuries - the Crusades - the reasons
for them and manner in which they were organized and promoted. The
other is the Kingdom of Sicily under Frederick II, himself a
Crusader, and its society and economy, including its Muslim
population. A characteristic feature is the author's interest in
ordinary participants and the attempt to get behind the
generalizations of macro-historians to the extent that may be
possible.
This book is about the Christian doctrine of the Trinity as it has developed in Germany. It argues there are three main ideas in that development: first, the way in which the Trinity has been seen as similar to the human self; second, the way in which differing understandings of revelation have affected people's attitude toward the doctrine; and third, the ways in which differing understandings of the conception of history have affected people's attitudes toward the doctrine.
This pioneering volume explores time series analysis and
interpretation using a wide range of methods and examples from
terrestrial, marine, and freshwater ecology. The book challenges
readers to discern interdisciplinary processes that can unify
fields as diverse as climatology and epidemiology. The first
section of the book explores the basic concepts of environmental
analysis, reviews state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies,
and offers innovative solutions to analytical problems of longer
time series with special attention to climate change, providing the
reader with the conceptual and methodological tools to analyze
environmental data accurately. The second section examines a
variety of time scales used to describe change, and the variability
within and between different ecosystems, so that diverse systems
may be studied in an integrated way. The final section of the book
illustrates key concepts and themes, based on the results of major
investigations in various time scales, including studies from
arctic sites to human epidemiology. Investigating time series in
the context of ecological functions such as population processes,
community structure, and patch dynamics, this insightful volume
will stimulate cross fertilization among the ecological
disciplines. The broad spectrum of ideas and applications examined
in this volume makes it a useful resource for all ecologists.
In this book, Powell examines the ways that identities are
constructed in displacement narratives based on cases of eminent
domain, natural disaster, and civil unrest, attending specifically
to the rhetorical strategies employed as barriers and boundaries
intersect with individual lives. She provides a unique method to
understand how the displaced move within accepted and subversive
discourses, and how representation is a crucial component of that
movement. In addition, Powell shows how notions of human rights and
the "public good" are often at odds with individual well-being and
result in intriguing intersections between discourses of power and
discourses of identity. Given the ever-increasing numbers of
displaced persons across the globe, and the "layers of
displacement" experienced by many, this study sheds light on the
resources of rhetoric as means of survival and resistance during
the globally common experience of displacement.

State formation after civil war offers a new model for studying the
formation of the state in a national peace transition as an
integrated national phenomenon. Current models of peacebuilding and
state building limit that possibility, reproducing a fragmented,
selective view of this complex reality. Placing too much emphasis
on state building as design they place too little on understanding
state formation as unplanned historical process. The dominant focus
on national institutions also ignores the role that cities and
civic polities have played in constituting the modern state. Mining
ideas from many disciplines and evidence from 19 peace processes,
including South Africa, the book argues that the starting point for
building a systematic theory is to explain a distinct pattern to
state formation that can be observed in practice: Despite their
conflicts people in fragile societies bargain terms for peaceful
coexistence, they make attempts to constitute the right to rule as
valid state authority, in circumstances prone to conflict, over
which they have imperfect influence, not control. Though the kind
of institutions created will differ with context, how rules for
state authority are institutionalized follows a consistent basic
pattern. That pattern defines state formation in peace transitions
as both a unified, if contingent, field of normative practice and
an object of comparative study. Where the national-centric models
see local government as a matter belonging to policy on
decentralization for later in the reconstruction phase, the book
uncovers a distinct "local government dimension" to peace
transitions: A civic dimension to national conflicts that must be
explained; incipient or proto-local authorities that emerge even
during civil war, in peace making, after state collapse; the fact
that it is common for peace agreements and constitutions to include
rules for local authority, for local elections to be held as part
of broader democratization, and for laws to be enacted to establish
local government as part of peace compacts. The book develops the
concept of local peace transition to explain the distinctive
constitutive role of this local dimension in peace-making and state
formation. This path-breaking book will be of compelling interest
to practitioners, scholars and students of comparative
constitutional studies, international law, peace building and state
building.
This book explores the resilience of constitutional government in
the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, connecting and comparing
perspectives from ten countries in sub-Saharan Africa to global
trends. In emergency situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, a
state has the right and duty under both international law and
domestic constitutional law to take appropriate steps to protect
the health and security of its population. Emergency regimes may
allow for the suspension or limitation of normal constitutional
government and even human rights. Those measures are not a license
for authoritarian rule, but they must conform to legal standards of
necessity, reasonableness, and proportionality that limit state
action in ways appropriate to the maintenance of the rule of law in
the context of a public health emergency. Bringing together
established and emerging African scholars from ten countries, this
book looks at the impact government emergency responses to the
pandemic have on the functions of the executive, the legislature,
and the judiciary, as well as the protection of human rights. It
also considers whether and to what extent government emergency
responses were consistent with international human rights law, in
particular with the standards of legality, necessity,
proportionality, and non-discrimination in the Siracusa Principles.
Bodies of Work examines the transnational development of
large-scale national systems, international organizations,
technologies, and cultural material aimed at rehabilitating Allied
ex-servicemen, disabled in the First World War. When nations
mobilised in August 1914, it was thought that casualties would be
minimal and the war would be quickly over. Little consideration was
given to what ought to be done for those men whose bodies would
forever bear the marks of war's destruction. Julie M. Powell charts
how rehabilitation emerged as the best means to deal with millions
of disabled ex-servicemen. She considers the ways in which
rehabilitation was shaped by both durable and discrete influences,
including social reformism, paternalist philanthropy, the movement
for workers' rights, patriotism, class tensions, cultural ideas
about manliness and disability, nationalism, and internationalism.
Powell sheds light on the ways in which rehabilitation systems
became sites for the contestation and maintenance of boundaries of
belonging.

The science of autism has seen tremendous breakthroughs in the past
few decades. A multitude of relatively rare mutations have been
identified to explain around 15 % of autism cases with many of
these genetic causes systematically examined in animal models. This
marriage of human genetics and basic neurobiology has led to major
advances in our understanding of how these genetic mutations alter
brain function and help to better understand the human disease.
These scientific approaches are leading to the identification of
potential therapeutic targets for autism that can be tested in the
very same genetic models and hopefully translated into novel,
rational therapies. The Autisms: Molecules to Model Systems
provides a roadmap to many of these genetic causes of autism and
clarifies what is known at the molecular, cellular, and circuit
levels. Focusing on tractable genetic findings in human autism and
painstakingly dissecting the underlying neurobiology, the book
explains, is the key to understanding the pathophysiology of autism
and ultimately to identifying novel treatments.
In 1213, Pope Innocent III issued his letter "Vineam Domini,"
thundering against the enemies of Christendom--the "beasts of many
kinds that are attempting to destroy the vineyard of the Lord of
Sabaoth"--and announcing a General Council of the Latin Church as
redress. The Fourth Lateran Council, which convened in 1215, was
unprecedented in its scope and impact, and it called for the Fifth
Crusade as what its participants hoped would be the final defense
of Christendom. For the first time, a collection of extensively
annotated and translated documents illustrates the transformation
of the crusade movement."Crusade and Christendom" explores the way
in which the crusade was used to define and extend the
intellectual, religious, and political boundaries of Latin
Christendom. It also illustrates how the very concept of the
crusade was shaped by the urge to define and reform communities of
practice and belief within Latin Christendom and by Latin
Christendom's relationship with other communities, including
dissenting political powers and heretical groups, the Moors in
Spain, the Mongols, and eastern Christians. The relationship of the
crusade to reform and missionary movements is also explored, as is
its impact on individual lives and devotion. The selection of
documents and bibliography incorporates and brings to life recent
developments in crusade scholarship concerning military logistics
and travel in the medieval period, popular and elite participation,
the role of women, liturgy and preaching, and the impact of the
crusade on western society and its relationship with other cultures
and religions.Intended for the undergraduate yet also invaluable
for teachers and scholars, this book illustrates how the crusades
became crucial for defining and promoting the very concept and
boundaries of Latin Christendom. It provides translations of and
commentaries on key original sources and up-to-date bibliographic
materials.
