Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum reprise their roles as an unlikely
pairing of undercover cops in this action comedy sequel based on
the 1980s TV series. Following their success infiltrating a local
high school, fresh-faced police officers Morton Schmidt (Hill) and
Greg Jenko (Tatum) are despatched to college to try and crack a
crime ring. However, the different lifestyles available in college
threaten to reawaken old divisions, as Schmidt is drawn into a
liberal artistic circle and Jenko finds a home in the
testosterone-fuelled domain of the football team. Will the pair be
able to put aside their differences and remain focussed on their
objective amidst the many opportunities and excesses offered by
college life?
Joel Rothman considers the significance of cosmology in biblical
and extra-biblical texts, and the role of the cosmic journey in
many apocalyptic narratives. He posits that Revelation's narrative
likewise takes the hearer on a virtual journey, through a cosmic
story-space of great theological significance. While scholarship
commonly assumes a three-tiered cosmos in Revelation, Rothman
argues that Revelation's narrative operates in a four-tiered
cosmos, with the hyper-heaven sitting above the sky-heaven, earth,
and abyssal depths; a cosmic story-space that is recreated in the
imagination of the hearers. Beginning with a methodology of visual
narrative reading, Rothman then discusses the assumptions and
existing conceptions regarding heaven and earth. He stresses that
Revelation does not exhibit tension in its portrayal of heaven,
between heaven as a site of conflict and heaven as the realm in
which God truly reigns, but rather shows readers a sky-heaven
characterised by archetypal conflict between powerful sky-beings
and a hyper-heaven defined by full recognition of the Throne. In
journeying through the sky-structure and God-space, and by
analysing the four cosmic layers in operation, the distinct nature
of the two sky-spaces, cosmic change and the ideological import of
the cosmic structure, Rothman proves that the existence of the
hyper-heaven - in contradistinction with the limited lived-cosmos
of earth and sky-heaven - is a present guarantee of the final
cosmic transformation that creates a new space for human life
exclusive of imperial draconian elements.

White Coat is Dr. Ellen Lerner Rothman's vivid account of her four years at Harvard Medical School. Describing the grueling hours and emotional hurdles she underwent to earn the degree of M.D., Dr. Rothman tells the story of one woman's transformation from a terrified first-year medical studen into a confident, competent doctor. Touching on the most relevant issues in medicine today--such as HMOs, aIDS, and assisted suicide--Dr. Rothman recounts her despair and exhilaration as a medical student, from the stress of exams to th hard-won rewards that came from treating patients. The anecdotes in White Coat are funny, heartbreaking, and at times horrifying. Each chapter taes us deeper into Dr. Rothman's medical school experience, illuminating her struggle to walk the line between too much and not enough intimacy with her patients. For readers of Perri Klass and Richard Selzer, Dr. Rothman looks candidly at medicine and presents an unvarnished perspective on a subject that matters to us all. White Coat opens the infamously closed door between patient and doctor in a book that will change the way we look at our medical establishment. In White Coat, Ellen Rothman offers a vivid account of her four years at one of the best medical schools in the country, and opens the infamously closed door between patient and doctor. Touching on today's most important medical issues -- such as HMOs, AIDS, and assisted suicide -- the author navigates her way through despair, exhilaration, and a lot of exhaustion in Harvard's classrooms and Boston's hospitals to earn the indisputable title to which we entrust our lives. With a thoughtful, candid voice, Rothman writes about a wide range of experiences -- from a dream about holding the hand of a cadaver she had dissected to the acute embarrassment she felt when asking patients about their sexual histories. She shares her horror at treating a patient with a flesh-eating skin infection, the anxiety of being "pimped" by doctors for information (when doctors quiz students on anatomy and medicine), as well as the ultimate reward of making the transformation and of earning a doctor's white coat. For readers of Perri Klass, Richard Selzer, and the millions of fans of ER, White Coat is a fascinating account of one woman's journey through school and into the high-stakes drama of the medical world.

Lizzy Dawson, a tall, dark and beautiful woman with chestnut hair
and hazel eyes, might, at first glance, seem like a typical
Greenwich housewife. In a place like Greenwich, Connecticut,
nothing is typical or ordinary and Lizzy is no exception to that
rule. Through an innocent enough hobby of internet blogging, she
managed to stumble onto a story, a story about murder among the
rich and powerful. This community of the nation's leading finance
and banking magnates has its share of back alley secrets and back
room deals. But this story was one which reached to the top levels
of the elite classes and to the bedrooms of multi-million dollar
mansions. Lizzy dug deep into the boardrooms and boudoirs to find
out the truth about the murder of William Pierce, a man caught up
in the glamour, secrets and sex of this tony town. Little did she
know that this story would lead to a criminal investigation and
change her life forever.
This book traces the history of formative, enduring concepts,
foundational in the development of the health disciplines. It
explores existing literature, and subsequent contested
applications. Feminist legacies are discussed with a clear message
that early sociological and anthropological theories and debates
remain valuable to scholars today. Chapters cover historical events
and cultural practices from the standpoint of 'difference';
formulate theories about the emergence of social issues and
problems and discuss health and illness in light of cultural values
and practices, social conditions, embodiment and emotions. This
collection will be of great value to scholars of biomedicine,
health and gender.
This volume describes classic and contemporary theory and research in social psychology that sheds light on how people think about health and illness, as well as their willingness to engage in health-relevant behaviors. The Editors have selected papers that serve to illustrate the reciprocal relation between advances in theory and advances in practice.
The first two sections of the volume examine people's mental representations of health and health practices, and how these personal construals and implicit theories are linked to behavior. People can react to new health information in different ways - with acceptance, defensiveness, or downright ignorance. Research that can help us to understand these varied reactions is examined in Section 3. The following sections consider how classic social psychological theories and perspectives can be used to understand behavior relevant to health and illness. These include social influence, social comparison, pluralistic ignorance, social support, cognitive dissonance, message framing, and attribution theory. Finally, several articles consider links between personality characteristics and health, such as those between hostility and heart disease, and confiding traumatic experiences and immune function. The volume also contains a introductory chapter by the editors which provides a discussion of why social and personality psychologists should be interested in health and illness.
Together with overviews for each section, discussion questions, and suggestions for further reading, the volume is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on health psychology. The volume is also appropriate for courses in related disciplines such as public health, nursing, health education, health communication, and other allied health sciences.

First published in 1982, William Rothman s Hitchcock is a classic
work of film criticism. Written in an engaging style that is
philosophically sophisticated yet free of jargon, and using over
nine hundred images from the films to illustrate and back up its
critical claims, the book follows six different Hitchcock films as
they unfold, moment by moment, from first shot to last.
In addition to a thoughtful new preface and the original readings
of The Lodger (1927), Murder (1930), The 39 Steps (1935), Shadow of
a Doubt (1943), and Psycho (1960), this expanded edition includes a
groundbreaking new chapter now the book s longest on Marnie (1964),
Hitchcock s most heartfelt yet most controversial film. Hitchcock
never tired of quoting Oscar Wilde s line, And all men kill the
thing they love. Dark moods therefore prevail in the five original
chapters, culminating in the reading of Psycho, but in
demonstrating how Marnie overcomes, or transcends, the murderous
aspect of Hitchcock s art, this new chapter balances the scales and
gives an important new dimension to the book.
With exemplary precision, Hitchcock, Second Edition shows how
Hitchcock films express, cinematically, serious thoughts about such
matters as the nature and relationships of love, murder, sexuality,
marriage, and theater and about their own medium. In so doing, it
keeps faith with the idea that Hitchcock was a master, perhaps the
master, of what he called the art of pure cinema. However, insofar
as it investigates philosophically the conditions of authorship in
the medium of film, it is an auteurist study unlike any other. By
attending to the films themselves and to the ways we experience
them, rather than allowing some theory to dictate what to say about
them, the book proves the fruitfulness of an approach that is open
and responsive to the ways serious films are capable of teaching us
how to think seriously about them."
When your world is upended, how do you react? Who do you become?
New York Times columnists, illustrator Julia Rothman and
writer Shaina Feinberg, seek answers to these questions and more in
this gorgeously illustrated collection of sometimes
heartbreaking, always illuminating first-person stories. Based on
one of Feinberg and Rothman's columns in the New York Times, “How
We Got By: New Yorkers’ Advice for Getting Through a Crisis,”
How We Got By is an ambitious journalistic undertaking
rendered in an artful, collectable package. Each accompanied by one
of Rothman’s full-colour illustrated portraits, these personal
accounts touch on a wide variety of subjects, from money and
business to relationships, family, trauma, and death. A window into
the world of how others think, feel, and, ultimately, survive, How
We Got By invites us to remember our shared humanity as well
as our truly extraordinary resilience.
Through proper engagement, identity-based conflict enhances and
develops identity as a vehicle to promote creative collaboration
between individuals, the groups they constitute and the systems
they forge. This handbook describes the specific model that has
been developed as well as various approaches and applications to
identity-conflict used throughout the world.
At a time when there is increasing need to offer psychotherapeutic
approaches that accommodate clients' religious and spiritual
beliefs, and acknowledge the potential for healing and growth
offered by religious frameworks, this book explores psychology from
an Islamic paradigm and demonstrates how Islamic understandings of
human nature, the self, and the soul can inform an Islamic
psychotherapy. Drawing on a qualitative, grounded theory analysis
of interviews with Islamic scholars and clinicians, this unique
volume distils complex religious concepts to reconcile Islamic
theology with contemporary notions of psychology. Chapters offer
nuanced explanations of relevant Islamic tradition and theological
sources, consider how this relates to Western notions of
psychotherapy and common misconceptions, and draw uniquely on
first-hand data to develop a new theory of Islamic psychology.
This, in turn, informs an innovative and empirically driven model
of practice that translates Islamic understandings of human
psychology into a clinical framework for Islamic psychotherapy. An
outstanding scholarly contribution to the modern and emerging
discipline of Islamic psychology, this book makes a pioneering
contribution to the integration of the Islamic sciences and
clinical mental health practice. It will be a key resource for
scholars, researchers, and practicing clinicians with an interest
in Islamic psychology and Muslim mental health, as well as
religion, spirituality and psychology more broadly.
