Over the course of many decades, the city of Shreveport witnessed
dramatic growth and ever-changing landscapes. Mule-drawn railways
gave way to electric streetcars, and what was once the Confederate
capital of the state became today's vibrant commercial hub of
northwest Louisiana. Drawing from their extensive image collection,
authors Joiner and Roberson depict the disappearing scenes and lost
stories that form the complex layers of Shreveport history. From
the famous performances of Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show to the
infamous red-light district, from the decline of vigilante justice
to the victims who perished from yellow fever, Joiner and Roberson
recover and remember lost Shreveport.
This book provides an opportunity for researchers, professionals,
and practitioners working directly with gifted individuals to
engage with and examine the concept of underachievement of highly
capable and talented individuals from different perspectives.
Chapters written by experts in gifted education from diverse
backgrounds explore underachievement in principle, illuminate
underachievement as a response to written and unwritten policy and
practice, showcase ranges of intellectual capability outside of
traditional academic subjects, shift deficit views of not meeting
rigid expectations to honoring interests and cultural values of the
individual, and provide suggested and proven practices and services
as solutions to bridge the gaps in achievement and performance for
gifted and talented students. Expertly blending theory with
practice, Underachievement in Gifted Education is a must read for
all practitioners, educators of gifted individuals, and researchers
seeking more opportunities to help students align how they choose
to exhibit their talent and efforts with external and internal
expectations, personal interests, and cultural values to reach
their maximum potential.
From cathedrals to cubicles, people go to great lengths and expense
to design their living and working environments. They want their
spaces to be places where they enjoy being, reflecting who they are
and what they care about. The resultant environments in turn become
loud, albeit unvocal, leaders for people occupying those
corresponding spaces. The design and use of work and living spaces
typifies and thematizes expectations for the group. Essentially,
the architecture of rooms, buildings and cities creates cultures by
conveying explicit and implicit messages. This is evident when
people approach and walk into St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, the
Forbidden City in Beijing, the Sydney Opera House in Sydney,
Australia, the Jewish Museum in Berlin, or the Rothko Chapel in
Houston, to name some examples. While leaders oftentimes lack the
resources to have their spaces mirror the greatest architectural
achievements of the world, they are in a position to use the art
and science of architecture, at whatever scale is available, to
their advantage. The creative and intentional use of space and
place advances and promotes cherished values and enhances
organizational effectiveness. This book explores the essence of
good architecture and establishes relevant connections for leaders
and managers to strategically design and use the organizational
workplace and space to support their mission and purpose, and
create aesthetically meaningful work environments. It equips
leaders to be culturally astute on what defines good architecture
and to incorporate principles of beauty in their leadership
practices accordingly and will be of interest to researchers,
academics, professionals, and students in the fields of leadership,
organizational studies, and architecture theory and practice.

Finding current, detailed information on the analysis of
drug-related compounds is challenging at best. While almost
everyone engaged in the study of these compounds has accumulated a
vast variety of data over time, a single-source, comprehensive
review of that data would be an invaluable resource to have.
Instrumental Data for Drug Analysis (IDDA), Third Edition is that
resource, presenting the latest information on these compounds in a
thorough, straightforward format. What's new in the Third Edition:
Presents FT-Raman Spectra tables Includes information and analysis
relating to 125 new drugs, including Zoloft, Claritin, Ambien, and
the latest generation of narcotics Organizes information on each
drug in a simple, streamlined format
The Dexter Avenue King Memorial Church played an important role in
the Civil Rights movement-it was the backbone of the Montgomery bus
boycott, which served as a model for other grassroots
demonstrations and which also propelled Martin Luther King, Jr.
into the national spotlight.
Roberson chronicles five generations in the life of this
congregation. He uses it as a lens through which to explore how the
church functioned as a formative social, cultural, and political
institution within a racially fractured and continually shifting
cultural and civil landscape. Roberson highlights some of the
prominent figures associated with the church, such as Martin Luther
King, Jr., as well as some of the less prominent figures--for
example the many women whose organizational efforts sustained the
church.

U.S. Supreme Court justices are studied publicly, but scant
attention is generally paid to the judges who function daily in
other courts of the world. Trends in the Judiciary: Interviews with
Judges Across the Globe assembles a collection of interviews
conducted by international scholars and researchers. It provides an
insider's perspective of how members of the worldwide judiciary
cope with significant legal developments and the issues they face
in criminal and procedural law. The subjects of these interviews
administer justice in Australia, Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the
Republic of Slovenia, Canada, India, and the United States.
Representing a variety of cultures, political environments, and
economic systems, the interviewees each discuss their background,
education, and career; their judicial role; the major changes and
challenges they have experienced; and the relationship between
theory and practice. In addition to the candid observations of the
interview subject, each chapter provides a brief portrait of the
national judicial system and court in which each judge serves.
Continuing the work of the International Police Executive Symposium
(IPES) and the CRC Press series Interviews with Global Leaders in
Policing, Courts, and Prisons, the book enhances readers'
understanding of the judiciary and opens a dialogue between
scholars, researchers, and practitioners. It is a major
contribution to the study and practice of judging around the world.
Gwen Dylan is a gravedigger in an eco-friendly cemetery…and a
zombie detective. Once a month, she has to eat a human brain –

the dead person's thoughts. And lately, she feels compelled to
fulfill their final requests. Written by World Fantasy Award

A book on queer themes and science communication is timely, if not
well overdue. LGBTIQA+ people have unique contributions to make and
issues to meet through science communication. So, bringing 'queer'
and 'science communication' together is an important step for queer
protest, liberation, and visibility. This collection examines the
place of queer people within science communication and asks what it
means for the field to 'queer' science communication practice,
theory and research agendas. Written by leading names in the field,
it offers concrete examples for academics, students and
practitioners who strive to foster radical inclusivity and equity
in science communication.

The Fifteenth Annual International Police Executive Symposium
brought together 65 police executives, government officials,
academics, and researchers to discuss issues relating to all
aspects of policing in a global community. It focused on policing
without borders, the need for national and international
cooperation among policing agencies, and the need for cooperation
between the police, the academic community, private policing
agencies, and the general public. Drawn from the presentations made
at this symposium and supplemented with additional input from
eminent experts, Police Without Borders: The Fading Distinction
between Local and Global reflects the current status of research on
this timely and critical topic. Topics discussed include: Policing
activity, human rights, and corruption Female policing in India
compared to other countries Challenges and obstacles in policing in
Slovenia, China, Asia, and the Pacific Strategies for preventing
juvenile delinquency in Japan and Hong Kong The threat caused by
nonreturnable arrest warrants in Canada An insider's look at the
United Kingdom's Integrated Special Branch, an intelligence unit

safety initiative in the Eastern District of New York Highlighting
individual differences in police theory, style, and practice around
the world, this volume opens a dialogue in which police agencies
and academics can learn from other cultures, recognize their
similarities, and move towards an improved global policing
methodology.
The Routledge Handbook on Victims' Issues in Criminal Justice is a
comprehensive and authoritative handbook on current issues, with a
distinctive emphasis on the delivery of suitable and effective
services. The editor provides an introduction and conclusion to the
handbook, synthesizing original contributions from current leaders
in the field, surveying victims' rights in the United States,
victim participation in the criminal justice system, victims'
welfare and needs, and most notably the services that have been
developed in response. A section on special populations in the
United States brings focus to current and emerging issues faced
within the country, while a section covering international and
transnational victimization explores globalization and the
implications of other legal traditions and systems. This handbook
addresses the crucial and complex topic of victims' issues,
examining both societal and governmental reactions to victims'
concerns and acquainting readers with the issues that discord may
cause, and how they affect the provision of services. This book
will serve as an essential reference for academics and
practitioners working with crime victims, as well as for students
taking courses in victimology, criminology, sociology, and related
subjects.
A study of American women's narratives of mobility and travel, this
book examines how geographic movement opened up other movements or
mobilities for antebellum women at a time of great national
expansion. Concerned with issues of personal and national identity,
the study demonstrates how women not only went out on the open
road, but participated in public discussions of nationhood in the
texts they wrote. Roberson examines a variety of narratives and
subjects, including not only traditional travel narratives of
voyages to the West or to foreign locales, but also the ways travel
and movement figured in autobiography, spiritual, and political
narratives, and domestic novels by women as they constructed their
own politics of mobility. These narratives by such women as
Margaret Fuller, Susan Warner, and Harriet Beecher Stowe
destabilize the male-dominated stories of American travel and
nation-building as women claimed the public road as a domain in
which they belonged, bringing with them their own ideas about
mobility, self, and nation. The many women's stories of mobility
also destabilize a singular view of women's history and broaden our
outlook on geographic movement and its repercussions for other
movements. Looking at texts not usually labeled travel writing,
like the domestic novel, brings to light social relations enacted
on the road and the relation between story, location, and mobility.
U.S. Supreme Court justices are studied publicly, but scant

Judges Across the Globe assembles a collection of interviews
conducted by international scholars and researchers. It provides an
insider s perspective of how members of the worldwide judiciary
cope with significant legal developments and the issues they face
in criminal and procedural law.
The subjects of these interviews administer justice in
Australia, Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Republic of Slovenia,
Canada, India, and the United States. Representing a variety of
cultures, political environments, and economic systems, the
interviewees each discuss their background, education, and career;
their judicial role; the major changes and challenges they have
experienced; and the relationship between theory and practice. In
addition to the candid observations of the interview subject, each
chapter provides a brief portrait of the national judicial system
and court in which each judge serves.
Continuing the work of the International Police Executive
Symposium (IPES) and the CRC Press series "Interviews with Global
Leaders in Policing, Courts, and Prisons," the book enhances
readers understanding of the judiciary and opens a dialogue between

In recent years, legal studies courses have increased the focus on
contemporary social issues as part of the curriculum. Law and
Society: An Introduction discusses the interface between these two
institutions and encourages students in the development of new
insights on the topic. The book begins by introducing definitions,
classifications, and the concept of the "rule of law." It then
explores: Principal legal systems, including common law, civil law,
Islamic and socialist systems, and American Indian law Feminist
legal theories, critical race theory, and the roles of morality and
values in social control The contributions of sociological research
and its impact on the law Court systems and procedures, the
exclusionary rule, and plea bargaining The nature and process of
legislative, administrative, and judicial lawmaking Alternative
dispute resolution and international arbitration and mediation The
law as a mechanism for social changes, such as those brought on by
the 1964 Civil Rights Act Issues related to the legal profession
and professional responsibility This text eliminates the need for a
separate reader by also discussing controversial legal
topics-including affirmative action, education, the death penalty,
right to work laws, and abortion. Each chapter builds on the
previous ones and includes concrete examples of the issues
involved. Enhanced by chapter summaries of salient points, review
questions, and practical exercises, the book is designed to
encourage students in the development of new insights into the
relationships between law and society.
