How and why the election of Donald Trump inspired more women to
enter politics Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the
2016 presidential election shocked and dismayed many women, and
motivated many to run for office at all levels of government. In
The Pink Wave, Regina M. Matheson and William W. Parsons explore
this inspiring phenomenon and its impact on women’s
representation. Drawing on national surveys and in-depth interviews
of over 900 women, across almost every state, Matheson and Parsons
show us why more women decided to run for state legislature during
the Trump administration, the obstacles they faced on the campaign
trail, and whether they ultimately succeeded or failed in their bid
for office. Candidates share valuable lessons they learned from
their recent campaign experiences, providing future insight for
women—on both sides of the aisle—who may be inspired to follow
in their footsteps. Matheson and Parsons examine the impact Donald
Trump had on women candidates—both positive and negative—and
women’s ambitions to pursue political office. The Pink Wave
celebrates the hundreds of trailblazing women creating new
political opportunities for representation, now and in the future.
This textbook offers clear explanations of optical spectroscopic
phenomena and shows how spectroscopic techniques are used in modern
molecular and cellular biophysics and biochemistry. The topics
covered include electronic and vibrational absorption,
fluorescence, resonance energy transfer, exciton interactions,
circular dichroism, coherence and dephasing, ultrafast pump-probe
and photon-echo spectroscopy, single-molecule and
fluorescence-correlation spectroscopy, Raman scattering, and
multiphoton absorption. This revised and updated edition provides
expanded discussions of quantum optics, metal-ligand
charge-transfer transitions, entropy changes during
photoexcitation, electron transfer from excited molecules,
normal-mode calculations, vibrational Stark effects, studies of
fast processes by resonance energy transfer in single molecules,
and two-dimensional electronic and vibrational spectroscopy. The
explanations are sufficiently thorough and detailed to be useful
for researchers and graduate students and advanced undergraduates
in chemistry, biochemistry and biophysics. They are based on
time-dependent quantum mechanics, but are developed from first
principles with a clarity that makes them accessible to readers
with little prior training in this field. Extra topics and
highlights are featured in special boxes throughout the text. The
author also provides helpful exercises for each chapter.
The 3rd edition of this textbook offers clear explanations of
optical spectroscopic phenomena and shows how spectroscopic
techniques are used in modern chemistry, biochemistry and
biophysics. Topics included are: electronic and vibrational
absorption fluorescence symmetry operations and normal-mode
calculations electron transfer from excited molecules energy
transfer exciton interactions electronic and vibrational circular
dichroism coherence and dephasing ultrafast pump-probe and
photon-echo spectroscopy single-molecule and
fluorescence-correlation spectroscopy Raman scattering multiphoton
absorption quantum optics and non-linear optics entropy changes
during photoexcitation electronic and vibrational Stark
effects studies of fast processes in single molecules
two-dimensional electronic and vibrational spectroscopy This
revised and updated edition provides expanded discussions of laser
spectroscopy, crystal symmetry, birefringence, non-linear optics,
solar cells and light-emitting diodes. The explanations are
sufficiently thorough and detailed to be useful for researchers,
graduate students and advanced undergraduates in chemistry,
biochemistry and biophysics. They are based on time-dependent
quantum mechanics, but are developed from first principles so that
they can be understood by readers with little prior training in the
field. Additional topics and highlights are presented in special
boxes in the text. The book is richly illustrated with color
figures throughout. Each chapter ends with a section of questions
for self-examination.Â

Criminal Justice and the Policy Process develops a synthesized
policy making model that explains how complex justice policy is
developed, implemented, and evaluated. Unlike other texts, this
study weaves together important aspects of several competing
explanations of policy choice into a single model. Further, this
text emphasizes the importance of implementing policy as an
important component in the ultimate outcome of policy decisions.
The book fills a void in introducing students to the policy making
process coupled with the importance of justice administration as a
component. Important themes throughout the book include the role of
the media, special interests, elite policy makers, and discretion.
