Scholars have been arguing for years that Star Wars is more than
light sabers, Wookies, Millennium Falcons, and troubling familial
relationships. Star Wars is an exciting space fantasy that we can
explore from multiple academic perspectives, such as philosophy and
psychology. This volume adds to that conversation by asking, "what
would it look like if we analyzed the Star Wars universe
theologically?" In Theology and the Star Wars Universe,
contributors from various theological traditions take on this task
by exploring the nature of the Force, the spiritual role of the
Jedi, nonviolent and liberationist readings of the Franchise, and
the enduring power of hope. Written for the restless, curious
academic but accessible to diehard fans, Theology and the Star Wars
Universe is an exciting foray into the study of theology and
popular culture.
This is an educational psychology book that focuses on human
development, the human being, teaching, and learning. It is
appropriate for preservice teachers who are seeking to comprehend
essential theories and concepts in educational psychology. It is
also appropriate for practicing teachers who want to understand and
apply these theories and concepts at increasingly higher levels. As
well, it can be used by decision-makers or anybody else who wants
to better understand human development, human beings, human
learning, and educational processes. Besides the traditional topics
related to human development and learning found in most educational
psychology textbooks, this book describes topics that are typically
not addressed. These topics include mental health for children and
adolescents, intuition, an evolutionary perspective on emotions,
poverty, disability and race, systemic racism, critical race
theory, culturally responsive teaching, teacher reflection,
language learning and reading instruction, and a complete
discussion of teacher professionalism, dispositions, and
attributes. These are topics that are worthy of our attention, and
they will move you forward in your understanding of the human
beings whom you teach.

Theology and Spider-Man provides a look at the religious themes
present in one of the most popular heroes of the past half-century,
Spider-Man. In order to create a systematic theology of Spider-Man,
the contributors delve into themes of sin, salvation, and creedal
theology, while also addressing liberation theology, Black
theology, bioethics, and hermeneutics. This volume balances
theological depth with discussion of the comics and films, which
makes it a perfect collection for those interested in theology,
Spider-Man, or both.
The Kennedy assassination has produced a number of conspiracy
theories based largely upon intriguing questions, speculation, and
inference. Thousands of books and articles have been written about
the assassination with a large majority of the published material
arguing for a conspiracy of one kind or another. However, a
relatively small volume of literature has been written from a
scholarly and academic perspective. The Faces of Lee Harvey Oswald
provides the first comprehensive scholarly analysis of Lee Harvey's
Oswald's role in the JFK assassination. Scott P. Johnson
objectively examines the various narratives of Lee Harvey Oswald
created by researchers and authors over the last fifty years. He
finds that at first glance any theory related to Oswald's role
appears as convincing as the next, particularly when researchers
carefully select information that only advances their preferred
theory. In reality, however, Oswald's role in the assassination
offers little certainty when one looks at the mystery surrounding
Oswald's life and death as well as the complexity and ambiguity
surrounding the murder of President Kennedy. Rather than putting
forth a single theory, Johnson lays out the known facts against
each theory and allows the readers to make their own decision.
This book examines the criminal justice decisions of the Rehnquist
Court era through analyses of individual justices' contributions to
the development of law and policy. The Rehnquist Court era
(1986-2005) produced a period of opportunity for the U.S. Supreme
Court's judicial conservatives to reshape constitutional law
concerning rights in the criminal justice process. It was an era in
which the Court produced many hotly-debated decisions concerning
such issues as capital punishment, search and seizure, police
interrogations, and prisoners' rights. The Court's most
conservative justice, William H. Rehnquist, ascended to the key
leadership position of Chief Justice and he was joined on the Court
by two new appointees, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, who were
equally supportive of both greater authority for police and limited
definitions of constitutional rights for suspects, defendants, and
criminal offenders. The Rehnquist Court era decisions refined and
narrowed many of the rights-expanding decisions of the Warren Court
era (1953-1969). However, the Supreme Court did not ultimately
eliminate the Warren era's foundational rights concepts in criminal
justice, such as the exclusionary rule and Miranda warnings. As the
leading liberal voices of the Warren era, William Brennan and
Thurgood Marshall, retired early in the Rehnquist era, the Court
experienced continued advocacy of broad conceptions for many rights
through the increased assertiveness of Republican appointees Harry
Blackmun, John Paul Stevens, and David Souter as well as the
arrival of new Democratic appointees Ruth Bader Ginsburg and
Stephen Breyer. In many important cases, the justices advocating
the preservation of constitutional protections could prevail, even
on a generally conservative Court, by persuading one or more of
President Ronald Reagan's appointees to support a particular right
for suspects and defendants. Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony
Kennedy, in particular, shaped outcomes within a divided Court as
they determined which of the Court's wings with which they would
align in a particular case. The contributors to this volume
identify and highlight the unique perspectives and influential
decisions of individual justices as the means for understanding the
Rehnquist Court's imprint on criminal justice.

The Womanist Preacher: Proclaiming Womanist Rhetoric from the
Pulpit performs a close textual analysis of five womanist sermons
to answer the question: how does womanist preaching attempt to
transform/adapt the tenets of womanist thought to make it
rhetorically viable in the church? And what is gained and lost in
this? The sermons come from five women who are considered exemplars
of womanist preaching: Elaine M. Flake, Gina M. Stewart, Cheryl
Kirk-Duggan, Melva L. Sampson, and Claudette A. Copeland. This book
takes the first step in womanist scholarship to dissect what is
rhetorically going on in womanist preaching, to categorize womanist
sermons under the four tenets of womanist preaching, and to then
create four rhetorical models that reflect the rhetorical
attributes of the four different categories or phrased tenets that
Stacey Floyd-Thomas uses to represent Alice Walker's "womanist"
definition.

This book provides a foundation and framework to enhance your
understanding of the various processes involved in academic
writing. The term, academic writing, here refers to the types of
writing used in college level writing courses at both the
undergraduate and graduate level. However, this book was not
written simply to help you pass another English class or to get you
through the next writing intensive course (although it will
certainly do that). At some point you will be out in the real world
(hopefully). Thus, the purpose of this book is to enable you to be
an effective writer and thinker in all contexts including your
personal and professional lives.
The economics literature on pricing and pricing tactics has made
huge progress in the last few decades mostly due to the influence
of the asymmetric information and game theory revolutions in
microeconomic theory. This authoritative two volume collection
brings together some classic contributions which predate these
revolutions, and older and newer papers which have employed these
modern techniques to further our understanding of how pricing works
in real world settings. Pricing Tactics, Strategies, and Outcomes
approaches the subject mainly from the theoretical perspective, but
includes also some important empirical papers. Important topics
covered include entry deterrence, reputation formation, product
line pricing, collusive behavior, tying and bundling, leasing, and
sales and couponing strategies. The book should prove a useful
reference tool for marketing students and faculty interested in the
literature on pricing.

specific classroom applications. The writing style makes these
concepts readily accessible to readers of all levels of experience
and expertise. This book is appropriate for preservice teachers who
are seeking to comprehend the basic ideas behind these theories. It
is appropriate for practicing teachers who want to understand and
apply these theories at increasingly higher levels. It is also
appropriate for decision-makers or anybody else who wants to
understand human learning and educational processes. This book ends
with a description of lesson planning that is set in the various
theoretical contexts and includes a guide for defining an
educational philosophy.
