Christian theology has been complicit in justifying the war on
women, but it also has resources to help finally declare peace in
the war on women. War itself has come to resemble the war on women,
and thus strategies to end the war on women, supported by new
Christian theological interpretations, will also help end today's
endless wars.
Taking It to the Streets: Public Theologies of Activism and
Resistance is an edited volume that explores the critical
intersection of public theology, political theology, and communal
practices of activism and political resistance. This volume
functions as a sister/companion to the text Religion and Science as
Political Theology: Navigating Post-Truth and Alternative Facts and
focuses on public, civic, performative action as a response to
experiences of injustice and diminishments of humanity. There are
periods in a nation's civil history when the tides of social unrest
rise into waves upon waves of public activism and resistance of the
dominant uses of power. In American history, activism and public
action including and extending beyond the Women's Suffrage, the
Million Man March, protests against the Vietnam War, the Civil
Rights Movement, Boston Tea Party, Black Lives Matter, the
Stonewall Rebellion are hallmarks of transitional or liminal
moments in our development as a society. Critical periods marked by
increases in public activism and political resistance are
opportunities for a society to once again decide who we will be as
a people. Will we move towards a more perfect union in which all
persons gain freedom in fulfilling their potential or will we
choose the perceived safety of the status quo and established norms
of power? Whose voices will be heard? Whose will be silenced
through intimidation or harm? Ultimately, these are theological
questions. Like other forms of non-textual research subjects
(movement, dance, performance art), public activism requires a set
of research lenses that are often neglected in theological and
religious studies. Attention to bodies, as a category, performance,
or epistemological vehicle, is sorely lacking so it is no wonder
that attention to the mass of moving bodies in activism is largely
absent. Activism and public political resistance are a hallmark of
our current social webbing and deserve scholarly attention.
The Media-Savvy Middle School Classroom is a practical guide for
teachers of Grades 5-8 who want to help their students achieve
mastery of media literacy skills. Today's fake news, alternative
facts, and digital manipulations are compromising the critical
thinking and well-being of middle grade learners already going
through significant personal changes. This actionable book prepares
teachers to help their students become informed consumers of online
resources. Spanning correct source use, personal versus expert
opinions, deliberate disinformation, social media, and more, these
ready-to-use activities can be integrated directly into existing
language arts and mathematics lesson plans.

This brand-new title Practical General Practice Nursing has been
developed to support the professional development of the General
Practice Nurse, in particular the 'early career' practitioner. This
book provides a contemporary and practical approach to
understanding the breadth and depth of this unique community
nursing role. With the content developed by expert practitioners
and nurse educators from across the UK this truly comprehensive
book covers a wide range of clinical and professional topics.
Presented in an easy to read format, which is illustrated in full
colour, this book represents an excellent resource to support the
practice nurse in the delivery of evidence-based care. Marion Welsh
and Sue Brooks, both of whom have wealth of experience in working
as General Practice Nurses, have edited this first edition, whose
key features include: Comprehensive coverage of evidence-based
person-centred care Practical application for contemporary practice
Perspectives and policies from all four countries of the UK
Until now, the conversation around mobile devices in schools has
been divided into two camps: those favoring 1:1 plans, in which
each student is assigned a school-provided laptop or tablet, and
supporters of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives that shift
the responsibility for providing and maintaining classroom mobile
technology to students and their parents. In reality, argues
classroom technology expert Susan Brooks-Young, it's a hybrid model
of 1:1 and BYOD that best meets the needs of students, teachers,
and schools. A Better Approach to Mobile Devices offers school and
district leaders concise, practical advice on how to set up a
hybrid mobile technology program or shift an existing 1:1 or BYOD
program to the more flexible, cost-effective, equitable, and
learning-focused hybrid approach. Drawing on current research and
her own extensive experience, Brooks-Young makes the case for
hybrid initiatives and then explores the five keys to successful
implementation: connection to the curriculum, infrastructure and
support, training and professional development, budget, and
policies and procedures. The book closes with a checklist of action
steps associated with each of the keys, giving administrators and
their planning teams a clear path forward.
We all want lives filled with balance, ease, and contentment--but
how do we get there? In Pathways to Well-Being, authors Susan
Brooks-Young and Sara Armstrong share steps to increasing
well-being and discuss how six elements-gratitude, positivity,
focus, empathy, kindness, and movement-impact daily life. All of
us, especially educators, influence those around us-in our schools,
in our communities, and ultimately throughout the world. When we
work toward supporting well-being for ourselves and others, our
lives are enriched immensely. Technology has made so many advances
in recent years that it's hard to keep up. Devices can record our
heartbeats, steps, and calories; alert us when someone is on our
front porch; and much more. However, unintended consequences of
being so connected can affect our well-being. By becoming more
conscious of the influence technology tools have in our lives, we
can change our practices and move toward a more balanced, healthy
existence. In this book, the authors provide suggestions for how to
address the unexpected consequences of technology use and increase
positive connections, which ultimately lead to enhanced well-being.
The project to map the human genetic codes has been widely hailed
as a monumental achievement with vast medical promise. Yet the
project is also fraught with ambiguities and, Susan Thistlethwaite
claims, great potential dangers to society. This important book
combines a basic primer on genetic research with ethical reflection
by an interdisciplinary team on key questions and a deeper look, in
light of such research, at what it means to be human. Part 1 of the
book places genetic research in historical perspective, including
the historical prickliness between science and religion. It shows
how we have gotten from Gregor Mendel's experiments with peas to
today's Human Genome Project. Part 2 explores ethical issues posed
by genetic testing, screening, and counseling; gene therapy;
stem-cell research; dangers of misuse through genetic
identification; and engineering of particular populations (violent
people, ethnic groups, gays and lesbians). Part 3 explores the
possibilities of reconstruing human identity for the coming
"biological age." Contributors include Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite,
Laurel Schneider, Lainie Ross, Theodore W. Jennings Jr., Ken Stone,
and Lee Butler.
A cross-cultural analysis by two leading feminist theoloians of the
sex industry, this book concentrates on the role of religion in
shaping and sustaining related cultural values and the roles of
militarism and business in the sexual exploitation of women, men,
and children.
The Advanced Text series is designed for students taking
advanced-level courses, including upper-level undergraduates and
graduate students. Titles in this series will also be invaluable to
researchers new to a field, and to established researchers as a
basic reference text.
"Functional and Molecular Glycobiology "explains the chemistry of
carbohydrates, and the biosynthesis and diversity of different
types of glycans. It looks at the functional role of glycoconjugate
compounds in normal cellular processes, in both disease and
development. The book also describes how these compounds can be
studied, analyzed and manipulated for use in biotechnology.
"Functional and Molecular Glycobiology" is a unique introduction to
the field bridging the gap between introductory books and current
research.
