Questioning the psychiatric construction of mental distress as
'illness', and challenging existing studies of media
stigmatization, Stephen Harper argues that today's media images of
mental distress are often sympathetic, yet tend to reproduce the
sexist, classist, racist and individualist ideologies of
contemporary capitalism.
The New Film History is an accessible and wide-ranging account of

reception studies, genre, authorship and the historical film,

This book addresses questions about the major impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic on human communication and the ways in which the
communication discipline has been impacted by and has responded to
the conditions of the pandemic. Contributors examine both the
personal and the university administrative level to discuss how the
pandemic and its lockdowns and transition to online learning, among
other consequences, impacted specific areas of scholarship within
the communication discipline. Contributors represent a number of
sub-disciplines and focus on important elements they have witnessed
being influenced by pandemic responses, bringing to light the
unique insights about the pandemic and its effect on human
communication their sub-discipline affords them. They go on to
explore how the pandemic has impacted, or will impact, the teaching
of their subject area and provide future suggestions for research
in that area. Sub-disciplines represented include interpersonal
communication, family communication, nonverbal communication,
health communication, military learners, communication
administrators, and instructional communication concerns.
Written by 30 authors from all over the world, this book provides a
unique overview of exciting discoveries and surprising developments
in human genetics over the last 50 years. The individual
contributions, based on seven international workshops on the
history of human genetics, cover a diverse range of topics,
including the early years of the discipline, gene mapping and
diagnostics. Further, they discuss the status quo of human genetics
in different countries and highlight the value of genetic
counseling as an important subfield of medical genetics.

An eminent geneticist, veteran author, OMMG Series Editor, and
noted archivist, Peter Harper presents a lively account of how our
ideas and knowledge about human genetics have developed over the
past century from the perspective of someone inside the field with
a deep interest in its historical aspects. Dr. Harper has
researched the history of genetics and has had personal contact
with a host of key figures whose memories and experiences extend
back 50 years, and he has interviewed and recorded conversations
with many of these important geneticists. Thus, rather than being a
conventional history, this book transmits the essence of the ideas
and the people involved and how they interacted in advancing- and
sometimes retarding- the field. From the origins of human genetics;
through the contributions of Darwin, Mendel, and other giants; the
identification of the first human chromosome abnormalities; and up
through the completion of the Human Genome project, this Short
History is written in the author's characteristic clear and
personal style, which appeals to geneticists and to all those
interested in the story of human genetics.

For Black writers, what is tradition? What does it mean to them
that Western humanism has excluded Black culture? Seven noted Black
writers and critics take up these and other questions in this
collection of original essays, attempting to redefine humanism from
a Black perspective, to free it from ethnocentrism, and to enlarge
its cultural base. Contributors: Richard K. Barksdale, Alice
Childress, Chester J. Fontenot, Michael S. Harper, Trudier Harris,
George E. Kent, R. Baxter Miller
Das fur den Praktiker geschriebene Handbuch umreisst in einem I.
Teil die allgemeinen genetischen Aspekte der humangenetischen
Beratung. Der II. Teil wendet sich den einzelnen Organsystemen des
menschlichen Koerpers zu, wobei nicht nur die dort auftretenden
Erbkrankheiten behandelt, sondern auch ihre Relevanz fur das
allgemeine Krankheitsgeschehen und die Moeglichkeiten ihrer
Prophylaxe dargestellt werden. In einem abschliessenden Abschnitt
wird die Bedeutung der humangenetischen Beratung fur das allgemeine
Gesundheitsgeschehen umrissen. Die Besonderheiten des Buches liegen
in der ausfuhrlichen Darstellung der heute bekannten erbbedingten
Anomalien der menschlichen Organsysteme, ihrer
populationsgenetischen Haufigkeiten sowie der Hilfestellung fur die
AErzte in den Beratungsstellen. Die UEbersetzung aus der 2. Auflage

Competencies historically have been vital for skill building, and
competency-based approaches have demonstrated their impact on
business performance and organizational effectiveness in today's
marketplace. However, this has been discussed exclusively in
chapters and books as separate propositions. It is essential to
understand the two as linked together, building upon the other,
merging individual and organizational perspectives of competencies
development. Building Competencies for Organizational Success:
Emerging Research and Opportunities presents a narrowly focused
discussion of competency-based approaches and performance
management and examines how these concepts align with business
processes and procedures, management systems, and business
objectives. It brings to light a new era of business performance
management that complements the collaborative working of
individuals and organizations to achieve business desires and
addresses such topics as competent organization, knowledge
management, and performance management systems. This book helps
leaders, managers, executives, consultants, practitioners,
academicians, researchers, and students with the understanding of
how to utilize intellectual assets as well as how to develop a
better future and outcomes for business and people management.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented ripples throughout
society, bringing many sectors and fields, including education, to
a virtual halt or forcing them to change their working style
abruptly. Based on technological advancements, e-learning
preparedness, and human and financial resources, higher education
systems and universities in Eastern and Western countries have
responded differently to this crisis. Comparative Research on
Educational Policy Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Eastern vs.
Western Perspectives presents global research on the response of
higher education to the COVID-19 pandemic from both the East and
the West. It sheds light on the relevant challenges, strategies,
and effectiveness of the policies set in place in response to the
pandemic. Covering topics such as international student-related
policies, pedagogical adaptation, and student motivation, this
premier reference source is an essential resource for policymakers,
government officials, faculty of higher education, students and
educators of higher education, libraries, researchers, and
academicians.
