As the coronavirus pandemic swept across the globe in recent months, many countries have had to implement strategies to fight the virus and keep its people safe. These strategies, particularly in the West, have not been as effective at keeping the numbers of infected people as low as the governments would have hoped.
Charles R Stith predicted the trajectory the virus would take as its spread progressed and developed a critical analysis of the western countries’ responses to the pandemic. He specifically focuses on South Africa’s response to the virus as it spearheads the surge of cases on the African continent.
The crisis has far reaching consequences that impacts the most vulnerable people in the country. A recent OXFAM report draws connections between the lockdown, to hunger, to deaths which confirms the statement Stith made at the beginning of the outbreak about how people would die of hunger as they lose their jobs, their ability to provide for their families and access to fresh foods.
Stith wrote this book in real time in response to the growth and spread of the coronavirus and analyses the results of South Africa’s response to it. He gives answers to the questions politicians should have been asking and gives his view of what Africa will require to recover

Stop intimate partner violence before it starts Intimate partner
violence touches everyone. With more than 1 million cases reported
each year, this pervasive social problem has devastating effects on
victims, families, and communities. Prevention of Intimate Partner
Violence presents a comprehensive overview of the wide range of
efforts and approaches that have been successful in preventing
physical, emotional, and verbal abuse. A growing frustration with
the limits of therapeutic intervention and with the costs imposed
on society by intimate partner violence has created a need for
greater emphasis on state-of-the-art prevention programs that
really work. Prevention of Intimate Partner Violence addresses the
challenges of conducting and evaluating such programs, gaps that
exist in programming and research, and future trends in those
areas. A panel of domestic violence experts, researchers, and
healthcare professionals examines how to change the ways
individuals and the current health care system think about, and
respond to, intimate partner violence; how to change the ways young
people deal with anger in intimate relationships; and the ways
society can support families to reduce the occurrence of violence
in intimate relationships. Prevention of Intimate Partner Violence
examines: identifying risk factors the cost-benefit of universal
and targeted programs the effectiveness of parenting, stress
management, and substance abuse programs community capacity theory
community development social networks media and public awareness
campaigns healthcare screening programs and much more Prevention of
Intimate Partner Violence documents the effectiveness of prevention
interventions, encouraging prevention specialists to use
evidence-based interventions to enhance the effectiveness of their
own work. This powerful book is an invaluable professional resource
for social workers, family life educators, researchers, and
practitioners.
In the face of complex local and global problems, there is a
critical need to prepare PK-12 students to be innovative, resilient
problem-solvers and well-equipped STEM-literate citizens. With
focus upon integrated content, college and career readiness,
authentic problems, and action-oriented pedagogies, integrative
STEM education provides a promising approach to address this
challenge. Integrative STEM programming with its fusion of science,
mathematics, engineering, and technology content and practices may
manifest in a variety of ways: Teachers co-plan an engineering
design experience within a social studies class. A community
business partner offers a job-shadowing experience. Students engage
in an after-school program at a makerspace. Educators
collaboratively re-envision and interweave STEM across the
curriculum. And more... Current and future educational leaders
striving to improve STEM programming will find this book to be a
useful resource. Its introduction offers an orientation to the
fundamental goals, principles, and practices of integrative STEM
education. While later chapters delve into the facets of STEM
programming and the competencies of STEM leadership which form the
foundation of a coherent program. These evidence-based strategies,
examples, and resources may provide inspiration to leaders as they
initiate and enhance an equitable integrative STEM culture within
their school.

This book explores what happens as beginning urban teachers
transition through their first few years in the classroom. It
captures one teacher's journey through the first three years of
teaching science and mathematics in a large urban district in the
US. Combining narrative with critical analysis, the authors focus
on Ian's agency as a beginning teacher and explore his success in
working with diverse students.
This book captures one teacher's journey through the first three
years of teaching science and mathematics in a large urban district
in the US. The authors focus on Ian's agency as a beginning teacher
and explore his success in working with diverse students. Using
critical ethnography combined with first-person narrative, they
investigate Ian's teaching practices in four contexts: his student
teaching experience, his work with students on a summer curriculum
development project, his first year of teaching in a small, urban
high school, and his second year of teaching in a large,
comprehensive high school. In each field, the authors describe the
structural changes Ian encounters and the ways in which he
re-utilizes the practices he used successfully in previous fields.
Specific practices that helped foster community and led to the
increased agency of his students as learners are highlighted.
This review covers the major systems of human physiology. The
review is not ex haustive; it assumes that the student has
completed a course in human physiology and wishes to refresh their
memory in preparing for an examination. The student is advised to
refer to a competent textbook several times in this review. This
book is a revised version of a review book used by our medical
students for over ten years. Coverage of the various topics in
physiology is comparable to the percentage of questions on those
topics in recent National Board, Part I examinations. Review
questions follow every few pages of text in order to monitor your
under standing of the just preceding material. The multiple choice
questions are mainly of the two conventional types; "single best
answer" questions, for which you choose the single best answer, and
"multiple correct answer" questions, for which you choose the one
or more correct alternatives. The two multiple choice formats have
been standardized throughout the book."
For two centuries, federal judges exercised wide discretion in
criminal sentencing. This changed in 1987, when a hopelessly
complex bureaucratic apparatus was imposed on the federal courts.
Though termed Sentencing "Guidelines," the new sentencing rules are
mandatory. Reformers hoped that the Sentencing Guidelines would
address inequities in sentencing. The Guidelines have failed to
achieve this goal, according to Kate Stith and Jose Cabranes, and
they have sacrificed comprehensibility and common sense.
"Fear of Judging" is the first full-scale history, analysis, and
critique of the new sentencing regime. The authors show that the
present system has burdened the courts, dehumanized the sentencing
process, and, by repressing judicial discretion, eroded the
constitutional balance of powers. Eschewing ideological or
politically oriented critiques of the Guidelines and offering
alternatives to the current system, Stith and Cabranes defend a
vision of justice that requires judges to perform what has
traditionally been considered their central task--exercising
judgment.
This book examines international perspectives on intimate partner
violence (IPV). It highlights the current state of IPV prevention
and intervention efforts across countries, including Colombia,
Iran, Russia, China, India, Turkey, Nigeria, the United Kingdom,
Finland, and the United States. The book examines the countries of
origin in context (e.g., population, area, religion, ethnic
diversity) and includes current rates of IPV in each country. In
addition, it addresses growth areas and challenges regarding IPV
prevention and intervention, including legal issues as well as
cultural and social contexts and their relation to IPV - and the
clinical interventions used - within each country. The book
discusses challenges and opportunities for growth and seeks to gain
a more robust and systemic perspective on the global phenomenon of
IPV. It examines how larger social, cultural, and global factors
affect the lives of the individuals whom family therapists serve
and advocate for as well as provide guidance for culturally
appropriate clinical and prevention practices. Key areas of
coverage include: * International perspectives on intimate partner
violence. * Intervention and resources available for victims of
intimate partner violence. * Policies and laws relating to intimate
partner violence. International Perspectives on Intimate Partner
Violence is an essential resource for clinicians, therapists, and
practitioners as well as researchers, professors, and graduate
students in family studies, clinical psychology, and public health,
as well as all interrelated disciplines.
In the 1960s and 1970s, becoming a rock musician was fundamentally
different than playing other kinds of music. It was a learned
rather than a taught skill. In On Becoming a Rock Musician,
sociologist H. Stith Bennett observes what makes someone a rock
musician and what persuades others to take him seriously in this
role. The book explores how bands form; the backstage and onstage
reality of playing in a band; how bands promote themselves and
interact with audiences and music professionals like DJs; and the
role of performance.
