George Pitt-Rivers began his career as one of Britain's most
promising young anthropologists, conducting research in the South
Pacific and publishing articles in the country's leading academic
journals. With a museum in Oxford bearing his family name,
Pitt-Rivers appeared to be on track for a sterling academic career
that might even have matched that of his grandfather, one of the
most prominent archaeologists of his day. By the early 1930s,
however, Pitt-Rivers had turned from his academic work to politics.
Writing a series of books attacking international communism and
praising the ideas of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler,
Pitt-Rivers fell into the circles of the anti-Semitic far right. In
1937 he attended the Nuremberg Rally and personally met Adolf
Hitler and other leading Nazis. With the outbreak of war in 1940
Pitt-Rivers was arrested and interned by the British government on
the suspicion that he might harm the war effort by publicly sharing
his views, effectively ending his academic career. This book traces
the remarkable career of a man who might have been remembered as
one of Britain's leading 20th century anthropologists but instead
became involved in a far-right milieu that would result in his
professional ruin and the relegation of most of his research to
margins of scientific history. At the same time, his wider legacy
would persist far beyond the academic sphere and can be found to
the present day.
Encyclopedia of Cell Biology, Second Edition, a Six Volume Set, has
established itself as a fundamental reference work, providing broad
coverage of the field in four main sections (Molecular,
Organizational, Functional, Translational and Pathological Aspects
of Cell Biology). This second edition revisits and expands each
section, with entries on topics not covered in the first edition,
including Crispr. The whole work is updated, providing greater
coverage of specialized cell function and translational
applications, and putting greater emphasis on these topics in
graduate/medical teaching. New overview chapters and subsections
provide a simplified cell biology text that can be used by
instructors. The new version includes a standard template for each
chapter, making the content easier to navigate, as well as inserts
and graphics which provide summaries of key points in each chapter.
Black Religion explores the complexity of the black spiritual
imagination using the autobiographies of three prominent religious
leaders. Looking at Malcolm X's journey from Christianity to Islam,
social parasite to "race man," libertine to ascetic, Hart delves
into the spiritual dimensions of Malcolm X's life. Hart then
examines the affinities between Malcolm's spiritual journey and the
journeys of Julius Lester and Jan Willis-- none of whom conform to
standard expectations of what it means to be a black person and a
religious person. Hart argues that the Muslim, Judaic, and Buddhist
commitments of these autobiographers show that the black spiritual
imagination-religious, political, and personal-cannot be limited to
the standard narrative of Black Religion, nor can spirituality be
limited to religion.
"Afro-Eccentricity explores three overlapping stories of Black
Religion: the Soul, Black Church, and Ancestor Narratives. Hart
contends that these narratives dominate most account of Black
Religion that, collectively, he calls the Standard Narrative of
Black Religion. Against the backdrop of this account, where
Afro-Eccentricity is a pun and critical trope, Hart interprets
Paule Marshall's Praisesong for the Widow as a battlefield between
Afrocentric and Afro-Eccentric versions of the Ancestor Narrative.
Then he explores four theorists of Black Religion--Charles H. Long,
William R. Jones, Cornel West, and Theophus Smith--whose work
pushes against the limitations of the Standard Narrative"--Provided

Learn to conduct a client-centered assessment of spiritualityand
use the findings to enhance your interventions as well as your
clients' psychospiritual coping abilities Even to clinicians
practiced in helping clients to manage their stress, the impact of
clients' spirituality upon their mental health can be difficult to
discern and discuss. Moreover, ethical dilemmas can arise when
clinicians feel compelled to intervene with a client's negative
religious coping. Spirituality and Mental Health: Clinical
Applications can help. This thought-provoking guide for mental
health professionals and pastoral counselors provides you with a
framework to assess and incorporate client-based spirituality into
your practice. The author provides case examples and clinical
models related to spirituality and mental health, as well as useful
questionnaires for assessing clients. He provides a client-centered
ethical framework for integrating spirituality into treatment, and
then discusses how to apply it to clients' problems, especially
those related to life crises, resentment over past offenses, guilt
over past mistakes, and substance abuse. He also discusses how
mindfulness meditation can enhance clients' coping ability.
Finally, he includes a useful Leader's Guide for the
psychoeducational spirituality group, which is designed to educate
patients and church groups. Spirituality and Mental Health:
Clinical Applications shows how professionals in the above
disciplines can address the impact of spirituality on clients by:
gaining an understanding of the construct of spirituality assessing
spirituality and its interface with clients' presenting problems,
particularly when spirituality is central to their values.
intervening sensitively in ways that use clients' spiritual
perspectives and practices to enhance their coping mechanisms.

This Companion offers comprehensive coverage of the dynamics of
ethical behavior in organizations. Edited and authored by leading
experts in the field, it is the ideal place to begin acquiring or
updating knowledge about the moral dimension of work life.' - Adam
Grant, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania,
US'Wide-ranging in its coverage, this compendium of measures will
prove a very helpful aid to researchers studying ethics in
organizations. The authors have drawn together and summarized
empirical measures of diverse phenomena relevant to organizational
ethics - both widely studied topics, such as ethical awareness,
decision making, and behavior, and newer, important research on
topics such as moral identity, intuition, and emotion. Given the
recent rapid growth of behavioral studies of ethics in
organizations, this is a very timely work.' - Gary R. Weaver,
University of Delaware, US and Senior Associate Editor, Business
Ethics Quarterly Business ethics research and publications have
proliferated in recent decades, coinciding with increased public
interest in workplace ethical conduct. As studies of behavioral
ethics extend across disciplines, scholars unknowingly worked in
parallel, creating overlapping constructs and measures. Bringing
clarity to the field, the Research Companion to Ethical Behavior in
Organizations provides a central reference point for academics,
human resource practitioners, and compliance officers interested in
measuring the moral dimensions of individuals. With expert
contributions, this book catalogs empirical work from management
and social science disciplines, offering insights to the varied and
nuanced constructs used in behavioral ethics. The authors describe
and evaluate over 300 measures, including established surveys and
new behavioral research techniques. Doctoral students and veteran
management researchers will benefit from summaries of the latest
ethics research tools and trends. Offering solutions for research
challenges and suggesting new research streams and areas for
fruitful study, this Companion enhances the burgeoning field of
behavioral ethics. Contributors: B.R. Agle, J.B. Bingham, S.D.

This book discusses examples of discrete mathematics in school
curricula, including in the areas of graph theory, recursion and
discrete dynamical systems, combinatorics, logic, game theory, and
the mathematics of fairness. In addition, it describes current
discrete mathematics curriculum initiatives in several countries,
and presents ongoing research, especially in the areas of
combinatorial reasoning and the affective dimension of learning
discrete mathematics. Discrete mathematics is the math of our
time.' So declared the immediate past president of the National
Council of Teachers of Mathematics, John Dossey, in 1991. Nearly 30
years later that statement is still true, although the news has not
yet fully reached school mathematics curricula. Nevertheless, much
valuable work has been done, and continues to be done. This volume
reports on some of that work. It provides a glimpse of the state of
the art in learning and teaching discrete mathematics around the
world, and it makes the case once again that discrete mathematics
is indeed mathematics for our time, even more so today in our
digital age, and it should be included in the core curricula of all
countries for all students.
This book deals with the mathematical properties of dimensioned
quantities, such as length, mass, voltage, and viscosity.
Beginning with a careful examination of how one expresses the
numerical results of a measurement and uses these results in
subsequent manipulations, the author rigorously constructs the
notion of dimensioned numbers and discusses their algebraic
structure. The result is a unification of linear algebra and
traditional dimensional analysis that can be extended from the
scalars to which the traditional analysis is perforce restricted to
multidimensional vectors of the sort frequently encountered in
engineering, systems theory, economics, and other applications.
Kevin Costner: America's Teacher examines the role of Costner in
educational settings domestically and abroad. Costner's career over
the past 35 years has seen ups and downs: his movies grossed 2
billion dollars in ticket sales worldwide and he has he won/been
nominated for several Academy Awards but he also experienced
critical and box office failures. Through the films in his oeuvre,
Costner has been teaching audiences around the world about the
United States--its history, people and culture. Some viewers and
scholars recognize this as positive, others as problematic. This
book serves as a place for teachers and scholars to explore ways in
which Costner may be tapped for research and teaching purposes at
all levels of education. It is organized around three large themes:
Costner's baseball films and their connection to Americana;
Costner's films through the more critical lenses of gender and new
western scholarship; and Costner's teaching of teachers, the
pedagogical possibilities of his work.
The 1920s is often recognised as a decade of fascism, flappers and
film. Covering the political, economic and social developments of
the 1920s throughout the world, The Global 1920s takes an
international and cross-cultural perspective on the critical
changes and conditions that prevailed from roughly 1919 to 1930.
With twelve chapters on themes including international diplomacy
and the imperial powers, film and music, art and literature, women
and society, democracy, fascism, and science and technology, this
book explores both the 'big' questions of capitalism, class and
communism on the one hand and the everyday experience of citizens
around the globe on the other. Utilising archival sources
throughout, it concludes with an extensive discussion of the
circumstances surrounding the 1929 stock market crash and the onset
of the Great Depression, the effects of which were felt worldwide.
Covering topics from the oil boom in South America to the start of
civil war in China, employment advances and setbacks for women
across the globe, and the advent of radio and air travel, the
authors provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of this
turbulent decade. Containing illustrations and a selection of
discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book is
valuable reading for students of the 1920s in global history.
Applied Problem-Solving in Healthcare Management is a practical
textbook devoted to developing and strengthening problem-solving
and decision-making leadership competencies of healthcare
administration students and healthcare management professionals.
Built upon the University of Minnesota Master of Healthcare
Administration Program's Problem-Solving Method, the text describes
the "never assume" mindset and the structured method that drive
evidence-based, action-oriented problem-solving. The "never assume"
mindset requires healthcare leaders to understand themselves and
their stakeholders, and to engage in waves of divergent and
convergent thinking. This structured method guides the problem
solver through the phases of defining, studying, and acting on
complex interrelated organizational problems that involve multiple
root causes. The book also describes how the Problem-Solving Method
is complementary to quality improvement methods and can be used in
healthcare organizations along with Lean, Design Thinking, and
Human Centered Design. Providing step-by-step instruction including
useful tips, tools, activities, and case studies, this effective
resource demonstrates the utility of the method for all types of
health organization settings including health systems, hospitals,
clinics, population health, and long-term care. For students taking
health management, capstone, and experiential learning courses,
including internship and residency projects, this book allows them
to test and apply their problem-solving and decision-making skills
to real-world situations. Beyond the classroom, it is an
indispensable resource for organizations seeking to enhance the
problem-solving skills of their workforce. The authors of the text
have nearly 75 years of combined experience in healthcare
management, leadership, and professional consulting, and teaching
and advising healthcare administration students in classrooms, on
student capstone, internship and residency projects, and case
competitions. Synthesizing their expertise, this text serves as a
guide for those who wish to strengthen their problem-solving
abilities to systematically identify, analyze, study, and solve
pressing organizational challenges in healthcare settings. Key
Features: Describes a mindset and a structured problem-solving
method that builds leadership competencies Encourages a
step-by-step problem-solving approach to define, study, and act on
problems to drive action-oriented solutions Supports experiential
learning and coaching for students and professionals early in their
careers, applicable especially to healthcare management, capstone,
and student consulting courses, internship and residency projects,
case competitions, and professional development in organizations
Compares the Problem-Solving Method to other complementary methods
used in many healthcare organizations, including Lean, Design
Thinking, and Human Centered Design Includes access to the fully
downloadable eBook as well as ancillary materials such as

Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage
of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality
reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable
prices.
This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images
of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also
preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics,
unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and
every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and
interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human
than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a
unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader
organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection
resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and
their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes
beyond the mere words of the text.
