Limited critical evaluation on the societal effect of rising incarceration rates and construction of new facilities has been available. Crime is not at an alltime high in America or uniquely an American problem, yet no other country relies on incarceration as much as the United States. In this book, knowledgeable professionals show how current policy can create more violence instead of reducing it. The consensus of 26 contributors, disciplines including correctional administrators, physicians, criminologists, lawyers, and volunteers, is that mass incarceration propagates the violent subculture of prison on the streets. Editor John P. May, a practicing physician and leading expert in correctional health care, suggests that perhaps the best service people can do for some caught in the criminal justice system is to get them out as soon as possible, and the best service for society is to incarcerate fewer. Building Violence urges readers to rethink the incarceration policy, especially as it intersects with race, social class, gender, morality, technology, the media, profiteering, and legislated messages of prejudice, fear, and violence. This crisply written book is ideal for interdisciplinary study and reference in the fields of criminal justice, criminology, corrections, sociology, mental health, human rights, education, law, and administration.

Small-angle scattering of X-rays (SAXS) and neutrons (SANS) is an established method for the structural characterization of biological objects in a broad size range from individual macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids) to large macromolecular complexes. SAXS/SANS is complementary to the high resolution methods of X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance, allowing for hybrid modeling and also accounting for available biophysical and biochemical data. Quantitative characterization of flexible macromolecular systems and mixtures has recently become possible. SAXS/SANS measurements can be easily performed in different conditions by adding ligands or binding partners, and by changing physical and/or chemical characteristics of the solvent to provide information on the structural responses. The technique provides kinetic information about processes like folding and assembly and also allows one to analyze macromolecular interactions. The major factors promoting the increasingly active use of SAXS/SANS are modern high brilliance X-ray and neutron sources, novel data analysis methods, and automation of the experiment, data processing and interpretation. In this book, following the presentation of the basics of scattering from isotropic macromolecular solutions, modern instrumentation, experimental practice and advanced analysis techniques are explained. Advantages of X-rays (rapid data collection, small sample volumes) and of neutrons (contrast variation by hydrogen/deuterium exchange) are specifically highlighted. Examples of applications of the technique to different macromolecular systems are considered with specific emphasis on the synergistic use of SAXS/SANS with other structural, biophysical and computational techniques.

Spearheading Environmental Change: The Legacy of Indiana Congressman Floyd J. Fithian describes the life of a four-term United States congressman, focusing on his role in the emerging environmental movement in late twentieth-century America. Spearheading Environmental Change highlights Fithian's legislative efforts regarding three water-related issues that profoundly concerned Hoosier and midwestern voters: creating a national park on the Indiana shoreline of Lake Michigan; canceling dam construction near Purdue University; and mitigating flooding in the Kankakee River Basin. The book also covers Fithian's positions on ecologically sensitive issues such as pesticides, noise pollution, fossil fuels, and nuclear power. Largely remembered for his participation in the Democratic reform wave that took over Congress in 1975 post-Watergate (the so-called Class of '74) and as an advocate for Hoosier farmers, Fithian has been overlooked for his role as a force to be reckoned with on the House floor when it came to the nation's environmental challenges. Fithian was a highly ethical, pragmatic reformer bent on preserving his country's natural resources. Spearheading Environmental Change gives Fithian the credit he deserves as an environmental warrior on the national stage.

Der Stoffwechsel und seine Regulierung durch Hormone haben in den letzten fiinfzehn lahren eine auBerordentliche Bedeutung, speziell im Bereich der Praventivmedizin erlangt. Die Framing- ham-Studie und viele andere Untersuchungen haben bewiesen, wie sehr metabolische Storungen die Lebenserwartung eines groBen Tells der Bevolkerung beeintrachtigen. Da die Praventiv- medizin und die damit verbundene Beratungsfunktionen immer mehr zu den Aufgaben des Aligemeinarztes gehoren, muBte ein eigener Band fiir die praktisch wichtigen Stoffwechselstorungen eingerichtet werden. Aus den gleichen Griinden muBten die prophylaktisch und therapeutisch wichtigsten Aspekte der Er- namungsberatung mit aufgenommen werden. Die Beraterfunktion des Hausarztes umfaBt in der heutigen Zeit eines rasch wechselnden Lebensmittelangebotes und eines zu- nehmenden Interesses an Ernamungsfragen auch die Ernah- rungsberatung. Das Kapitel iiber Emahrungsberatung und die zu- gehorigen Tabellen sollen dazu beitragen. Miinchen, im Herbst 1975 N.

This one family's journey across the unsettled West demonstrates how its understandings of family identity and selfhood were fostered. Beginning in the late 1880s, each member's perspective of the past and the future evolved as they moved from the Midwest to the West and finally settled in various regions of the United States. This chronicle of family movement and cultural assimilation contains an ideology of America that often frames stories told about family and history.

Low-budget US action drama following a young fighter. Beau Casper Smart stars as Remo Street, a former wrestler who dreams of one day competing as an MMA fighter. He is approached by the Russian Mafia and forced to accept brutal cage fights for the sake of his family. But, given the opportunity to work with a respected coach, will Street finally be able to become the fighter he envisions?

Have you ever wondered if God were present in a moment? Have you looked for God during the day? Have you discovered Bible or church history alive in your own life? Through short story examples, Reflections on Life, addresses these questions. Read stories and be inspired to see God in your own life today. "Written with a pastor's heart and a counselor's sensibilities, David prepared this book during a time of personal transition and introspection. Call it cathartic, call it theological reflection, call it a devotional guide-- this book is a heartwarming collection of short stories reminding everyone of God's undying love. I believe you will find a meaningful connection between your story and David's." - Dr. Mark Bushor, pastor Central Christian Church Killeen, Texas
