This book examines citizens' attitudes about sexual harassment in
the #MeToo era, seeking to determine how much these attitudes may
have changed over the past few years. Using an innovative
experimental research design, the authors look at how people react
to allegations of harassment made against a fictional member of
Congress. They consider whether those reactions vary with the
offender's party affiliation, gender, and response to the
allegations. Appropriate for students, scholars, and general
readers alike, this book offers a timely analysis of an important
political issue.

This is the story of the eleven Companies of the "Fighting
Fourteenth Regiment" as seen through the eyes of James William
Covington, a self-styled "blacksmith with a literary turn" and
member of the Regimental Band, along with seven other soldiers who
recorded their thoughts and feelings in journals and letters to
their loved ones. They were common men who lived in the most
uncommon of times and as such, were called upon to perform uncommon
deeds. It is seen against the backdrop of our country's greatest
struggle; a war that pitted brother against brother, father against
son, and took the lives of more Americans than all the combined
wars before or since.
Clinical psychologist and radio host Dr. Steven Craig offers a
revolutionary book that helps couples identify the six different
people they need to become over the course of their relationship in
order to grow together rather than apart. Throughout his career as
a marriage counselor, Dr. Craig has identified a common thread in
strained relationships: the belief that change should be avoided at
all costs. Determined to destroy this harmful myth, Dr. Craig
presents a concept as straightforward as it is original: Marriages
don't fail when people change; they fail when people don't change.
In The 6 Husbands Every Wife Should Have, Dr. Craig divides the
typical marriage into six stages, outlining both the common
misconceptions and opportunities for growth at each level. From the
earliest stage of becoming the right person for your spouse in the
new marriage; to thinking and acting like a team; to adjusting to
the dynamics of parenthood; to caring for older children and
elderly parents; to adapting to the empty nest; and then to growing
into the golden years and becoming a dependable companion, Dr.
Craig offers new communication tools, rules for intimacy,
checklists, and assessments designed to inspire change. The 6
Husbands Every Wife Should Have will revitalize readers' notions of
marriage and turn it into an ongoing activity that husband and wife
can conquer actively-together.
Anger has a unique place in a man's emotional life. For may men,
uncomforable emotions surface as anger. Men have learned to trade
pain for rage. Instead of simply feeling shame, despair, fear, or
depression, they get mad. The Vicious Circles Manual provides an
alternative for men who have come to recognize that they are
emotionally bankrupt using this old exchange of emotions for anger.
This alternative direction begins with Mad Science, the careful,
objective evaluation of the angering process. It aims not at
eliminating anger, but rather transforming it so that it can get
what it really wants. This book provides a step-by-step map that
can result in lasting emotional change. Not all anger is created
equal. The Vicious Circles Manual describes six typical Vicious
Circles of anger addiction. Anger addiction is an addiction to
power--physical or emotional. Each of the Vicious Circles is an
attempt to create a kind of value: peace, love, freedom, justice,
order, or respect. But when we use anger to try to create these
values, it backfires. We end up creating the opposite
values--conflict, distance, confinement, injustice, chaos, and
shame. Part of the Vicious Circles manual is the I-Rate test, which
will help you identify your own type of addiction to power. The
Vicious Circles Manual has a simple cognitive-behavioral approach
to anger management. It has multiple worksheets and over 30
illustrations.
This authoritative text will be a trusted reference for library
directors implementing new IR programs or overseeing a maturing
program, current professionals who find themselves with added IR
responsibilities, and new librarians entering the job market. The
Institutional Repository (IR) has become standard to the academic
library in the past decade. In fact, some 5,000 are listed in open
access directories. However, IR operations are anything but
standard. You are not alone in your challenges, whether it's
discovery of born digital content or policies for deposit and
withdrawal. This resource gathers expertise to offer a
comprehensive guide on contemporary institutional repository
management. Readers will sharpen their understanding of such key IR
topics as managing complexity task-by-task using a detailed
breakdown of IR projects; six crucial elements every deposit policy
should address; using the SHERPA RoMEO database to quickly locate
publisher policies; policy development, community outreach, and
open source software testing, illuminated through case studies;
metadata basics for the non-cataloger; authority control for
electronic theses, dissertations, and grey literature; workflow
suggestions for small and mid-sized institutions; showcasing
undergraduates' work with student peer-reviewed journals,
photography, or theater performances; promoting faculty engagement
with awards and recognition; and copyright fundamentals all staff
who interact with the IR should know.
Stephen Craig describes himself as both an artist and an architect.
His ambiguous work tests the boundaries between independent
sculpture and architecture, often referencing the historical
structures of Mies and his concept of the liberation of
architectural elements and the creation of transitional zones
between interior and exterior space.
