In Their Own Words

Bob Scriver (1914-1999) was a bronze sculptor of Western subjects. Born and raised on the Blackfeet Reservation, his career parallels and illustrates the explosion of interest in this genre. Especially noted for his series on the Blackfeet and for his powerful rodeo series, his nearly 1,000 works include many animals and a small cluster of religious works around the death of his daughter.

In the Sixties Mary Strachan Scriver helped to build his bronze foundry and was his third wife. This biography is organized around the steps of casting a bronze by the Roman block method.

Introduction is by Brian Dippie.

During the New Deal, thousands of unemployed men and women found jobs painting workers onto Works Progress Administration (WPA) canvases. But did they identify with that army of working-class people who inhabited their 1930s art? What interconnections did their government-sponsored cultural production really have with the trade unions, strikes, protests, and despondent apple sellers of the Great Depression?
Labor's Canvas answers such question by employing both a labor- and an art-historical approach to the body language of class.

The Constitution as Treaty addresses U.S. constitutional interpretation from a novel, yet originalist perspective: the U.S. Constitution is a treaty. As a treaty, the Constitution must be construed in conformity with the United States' international legal obligations. This book specifically examines how federal courts are international courts and as international courts, how they can directly apply international law and construe federal law in conformity with international law. Most importantly, The Constitution as Treaty demonstrates that the federal courts' authority to review the constitutionality of federal and state law is based on international law.

The debates emerging from her important research will be of great significance in many fields.

Chicago is a model for a new urban concept-the fusion of architecture and landscape. Seventy sites are explored in this beautifully illustrated and illuminating look at Chicago's way of bringing together buildings and landscape, culture and nature, commerce and leisure into energetic harmony. These green spaces, with their unprecedented melding of art, architecture and ecology, have become far more than places of escape-they are fully integrated into the urban scene, culture-producing parts of the modern city. Packed with maps and recommended tours as well as splendid photos, this is an essential guidebook for day-trippers, lifelong Chicago residents, and professionals in landscape architecture, urbanism, and design.

This is the story of General Capron's rise to prominence in the United States during the late 19th century and the contribution he made to the modernization of Japan during the Meiji restoration. Returning to the United States in 1875,a largely forgotten man, it took half a century for him to be rediscovered and elevated to a place of honor in Japan.

This biography of the great 19th-century actor Joseph Jefferson uses his career as a means of examining the stage of his age.

Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) set out to challenge the proprieties of his Victorian contemporaries in every way: from the explicit sexuality and blasphemy of his early poetry to his political radicalism and his enthusiasms for such then uncanonical writers as Blake, Shelley and the Elizabethan dramatists surrounding Shakespeare. This edition gives new details about virtually all his literary undertakings (including his publishing income) and provides much new biographical information.

For the first time too the texts of Swinburne's letters to and from his cousin Mary Gordon Leith appear, letters often written in a transparent code and using fictional personae that illuminate and intensify the curiously erotic, even flagellatory, relationship that appears to have existed between them.

Among Swinburne's correspondents were such writers and artists as John Morley, Simeon Solomon, Lord Tennyson, Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne-Jones, the Rossettis (Dante Gabriel, Christina, and William Michael) and William Morris. Other correspondents represented include Swinburne's companion Theodore Watts-Dunton, his publisher Chatto and Windus, his mother, sisters, and aunt, and such friends as John Nichol and George Powell.

The appearance of these three volumes moves Swinburne studies a significant step forward. They will no doubt stimulate even further the accelerating critical and scholarly interest in a notorious poet whose works even today are sometimes controversial enough that the editor, working in Virginia, needed permission from the state to quote and annotate some of Swinburne's poems and letters with excerpts from his unpublished erotica.

This book is the first scholarly biography of Geoffrey Francis Fisher (1887-1972), 99th archbishop of Canterbury. Fisher's was a pivotal archiepiscopate. The problems and initiatives of his tenure foreshadowed the major events in Anglican church history and theology in the decades that followed. His meeting with Pope John XXIII in 1960 marked the first time that an archbishop of Canterbury had visited the Holy See since the fourteenth century. And Fisher was the key person in building up the modern Anglican Communion. His work anticipated the transformation of the British Empire from a far-flung imperial domain into a commonwealth of equal states. His frequent travels all over the globe helped to make the Anglican Communion an experienced reality for many Anglicans and Episcopalians outside Britain. The senior prelate whom millions of people around the world watched as he crowned Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953, Fisher has been referred to as the last great Establishment archbishop of Canterbury. After him, British society and the churches were forced to change. Worthy of attention are such subjects as Fisher's intervention in the Suez Crisis and his involvement in debates on the use of atomic weapons. Fisher's time in London, first as bishop of London (1939-45) and then as archbishop of Canterbury, was a period of war, devastation, and rebuilding in the capital city and the nation. How well did Fisher prepare the Church of England for what followed? What were the strengths and weaknesses of his approach to the task of fortifying the church for the future? This biography provides an engaging sketch and a critical assessment of Geoffrey Fisher's important career.

Charting a countrywide blueprint of how the best CEOs think, and and feel--while focusing on the traits common among these leaders--this book discusses the critical dimensions of leadership in this emerging economy.

This is a theoretical and practical approach to the subject of common equities. Its theoretical contribution is the development of a robust, inflation-adjusted model of firm valuation that is easy to calibrate against macroeconomic realities. It employs the famous Merton Miller Capital Structure Irrelevance Theorem in such a manner that the usual market fixation on earnings per share can be completely bypassed. The simplicity and robustness of the model are examined through several case studies and econometric analyses. The book concludes with a detailed, practical study of asset allocation, directed in large measure to younger investors.

This fiction picture book for kids is a legend about self-esteem and recovery from bullying. Influenced by Native American legends, the book is also story about why the moon changes shapes. After the sun bullies the moon, the moon is very hurt and disappears, much to the chagrin of rabbits who miss their moonlit romps and people who miss the beauty of moonlight. With the help of a comet and her many friends on earth, the moon regains her self-confidence and resumes her place in the sky as a bright full moon.

The story helps children cope with bullies. Other themes include self-esteem/self-confidence and friendship. An educational appendix gives scientific information about the moon and suggests activities for kids.

In King Arthur's Academy, students become first-year students at the magical King Arthur's Academy, as they complete writing exercises that ask them to explore the castle grounds, express what it feels like to swing a sword, interview the famous Knights of the Round Table, and much more.

In Haunted House, students become tour guides at a local haunted house, as they complete writing exercises that ask them to help advertise the house, interview ghosts, prepare menus for a monster's feast, write scary stories for the company Halloween party, and much more.

Point of view isn't just an element of storytelling--when chosen carefully and employed consistently in a work of fiction, it is the foundation of a captivating story.

It's the character voice you can hear as clearly as your own. It's the unique worldview that intrigues readers--persuading them to empathize with your characters and invest in their tale. It's the masterful concealing and revealing of detail that keeps pages turning and plots fresh. It's the hidden agenda that makes narrators complicated and compelling.

It's also something most writers struggle to understand. In The Power of Point of View, RITA Award-winning author Alicia Rasley first teaches you the fundamentals of point of view (POV)--who is speaking, why, and what options work best within the conventions of your chosen genre. Then, she takes you deeper to explain how POV functions as a crucial piece of your story--something that ultimately shapes and drives character, plot, and every other component of your fiction.

Through comprehensive instruction and engaging exercises, you'll learn how to: choose a point of view that enhances your characters and plots and encourages reader involvement; navigate the levels of a character's point of view, from objective viewing to action to emotion; and craft unusual perspectives, including children, animal narrators, and villains.

A story changes depending on who's telling it, and The Power of Point of View will help you determine which of your characters can make your story come to life.

Romantic poets, notably Wordsworth, Blake, Coleridge and Keats, were deeply interested in how perception and sensory experience operate, and in the connections between sense-perception and aesthetic experience. Noel Jackson tracks this preoccupation through the Romantic period and beyond, both in relation to late eighteenth-century human sciences, and in the context of momentous social transformations in the period of the French Revolution. Combining close readings of the poems with interdisciplinary research into the history of the human sciences, Noel Jackson sheds new light on Romantic efforts to define how art is experienced in relation to the newly emerging sciences of the mind and shows the continued relevance of these ideas to our own habits of cultural and historical criticism today. This book will be of interest not only to scholars of Romanticism, but also to those interested in the intellectual interrelations between literature and science.

This wide-ranging collection brings together leading authorities on the social history of American art music to reveal the indispensable contribution that women have made to American musical life. Some chapters discuss collective endeavors, such as music clubs, Wagnerites, supporters of "modern music" in the 1920s, and activists in African American communities, while others focus on the work of a single, strikingly individual patron such as Isabella Stewart Gardner or Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge. Primary sources such as private letters and autobiographies are utilized, and documentary vignettes scattered throughout the book bring to life important events and reminiscences. Among these are an interview with Betty Freeman, noted patron of avant-garde music, and advice from Mildred Bliss to Nadia Boulanger. Extensive opening and closing chapters provide conceptual and factual background on music in America and draw out the larger implications of women's patronage in the past, present, and future.

The Saint-Simonians, whose movement flourished in France between 1825 and 1835, are widely recognized for their contributions to history and social thought. Until now, however, no full account has been made of the central role of the arts in their program. In this skillful interdisciplinary study, Ralph P. Locke describes and documents the Saint-Simonians' view of music as an ideological tool and the influence of this view on musical figures of the day.

The disciples of Claude Henri de Rouvroy, comte de Saint-Simon, believed that increased industrial production would play a crucial role in improving the condition of the working masses and in shifting power from the aristocratic "drones" to the enterprising men of talent then rising in the French middle class. As a powerful means of winning support for their views, music became an integral part of the Saint-Simonians' writings and ceremonial activities.

Among the musicians Locke discusses are Berlioz, Liszt, and Mendelssohn, whose tangential association with the Saint-Simonians reveals new aspects of their social and aesthetic views. Other musicians became the Saint-Simonians' faithful followers, among them Jules Vinçard, Dominique Tajan-Rogé, and particularly Félicien David, the movement's principal composer. Many of these composers' works, reconstructed by Locke from authentic sources, are printed here, including the "Premier Chant des industriels," written at Saint-Simon's request by Rouget de Lisle, composer of the "Marseillaise."

Jacques Barzun praised the book for revealing "a piece of history that also mirrors our best endeavors and worst antics: ideology, politics, genius, and the arts interact for our entertainment and instruction in this model of scholarly, judicious, and graceful writing."

Black Heart is a critique of the African American literary culture that grew up in the elite American academy during the last thirty years.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Michele Smith teams up with Lawrence Hsieh to provide softball coaches and parents of novice, intermediate, and advanced players from grade four through high school all the tools needed to teach and drill the entire range of offensive and defensive softball skills. Each of the eight chapters contains both a skills section and a drills section. The skills section of each chapter is a coaching manual that contains all the detailed information you'll need to teach your players the fundamentals. The drills sections contain a comprehensive suite of drills on hitting, base running, infield and outfield defense (by position), pitching, catcher (the position), throwing and catching, fielding footwork and pregame drills.

Educational policy controversies in the United States invariably implicate legal issues. Policy debates about testing and school choice, for example, cannot be disentangled from legal rights and mandates. The same is true for issues such as funding, campus safety, speech and religion rights, as well as the teaching of immigrant students. Written for a general audience, this book explores these compelling educational policy issues through that legal lens, building an understanding of both law and policy. The book's editors, Kevin Welner and Wendy Chi, are lawyers as well as educational scholars.

Flores with Resus surveyed the family attitudes of Filipino American students in a California public high school. These students, ages 16, 17, and 18, weave a distinct brand of Filipino American family culture.

Their idea of a nuclear family includes grandparents, uncles, and aunts. They agonize within the "me first" as against the "my family first" construct. The three-generational family household, almost always realized in its pure form, stifles their independence but are most resilient to the demands of straddling two worlds: 1) the world of their parents and their families back home and 2) the contemporary world of the youths in transition to U.S. society's demands for peer assimilation, acculturation, and adherence to social norms.

This comprehensive collection of spelling tests by a noted lexicographer is the perfect way to sharpen your skills and have fun while learning the spelling rules, roots, and all of the tricks the contest-winners know.

Amid the flurry of debates about immigration, poverty, and education in the United States, the stories in Mi Voz, Mi Vida allow us to reflect on how young people who might be most affected by the results of these debates actually navigate through American society.

The fifteen Latino college students who tell their stories in this book come from a variety of socioeconomic, regional, and family backgrounds--they are young men and women of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central American, and South American descent. Their insights are both balanced and frank, blending personal, anecdotal, political, and cultural viewpoints. Their engaging stories detail the students' personal struggles with issues such as identity and biculturalism, family dynamics, religion, poverty, stereotypes, and the value of education.

Can a woman love two men with equal passion, even if one of them is a drug-induced fantasy?

This book explores such a possibility within the world of dreams and multiple realities--mysteries that have puzzled thinkers since ancient times. Set in a feminist Utopia created by women after a nuclear holocaust, the work follows Helga, a talented journalist, through dreams of her beloved, childbirth, and reunion with Professor Funfiel, the Doppelgänger of her real life lover, Peter. In their adventures they examine the meaning of radical feminism, shopping, and women's rights.

Bâtisseurs du lendemain (Builders of the morrow) is an historical novel written in French.

Bâtisseurs du lendemain is Ludovic Comeau Jr.'s most significant literary project to date. In terms of time and paper, the 688-page book consumed at least twice as many resources as Comeau hoped it would when he started in March 2002, including a full year to consider revisions suggested by L'Harmattan, one of France's major publishers. Bâtisseurs du lendemain brings forth haunting images of the social and political fabric of a fictitious city that, like Haiti, Comeau's birth land, is celebrating the bicentennial of its independence. The story sheds light on historical and cultural dimensions of an "invented" nation whose spirit has been stifled by a dreadful oppression in the antagonistic person of the chief of State, le Prophète (the Prophet), whose rule spanned the second half of the 20th century, and into the third millennium. The narrative is shared by several individuals and collective voices framed by the voice of Maurice, the main protagonist, and his good friends, Jean-Jacques and Henri. The reader becomes an insider within the city where the charged one-day story takes place at the dawn of 2004, with flashbacks into the past to better inform the present. The novel offers intense dialogs where the author's ideas for the renaissance of the city and for the revitalization of the economy are spelled out in details. The interest of that day, which starts at 4:00 in the morning, lies in the anticipation, at the onset, of an "event" to take place in the late afternoon...

A love story spanning nearly fifty years, A Story for Rose was published in German prior to an English edition.

Angels, Thieves, and Winemakers collects more than 50 poems about wine from Joseph Mills, the author of Somewhere During the Spin Cycle and coauthor of A Guide to North Carolina's Wineries. The poems range from humorous observations about the industry to meditations on aging. In accessible, yet evocative, language, Mills suggests our relationship with wine can be seen as a metaphor for our lives and relationships with one another.

Songs of Insurgency presents a patchwork view of the post-9/11 zeitgeist. In these stories, the world is being dismantled: fear segues to paranoia, alienation to sadism, suicide, or a droning, dial-tone numbness. Theories of jihad quote Wittgenstein as the tiki bar’'s cover band rehashes a soundtrack of clichés. One character scans through radio channels at night, longing for the fulfillment of apocalyptic fantasy. Another drives ever westward, hotel after hotel, the details of each locale uneasily similar, repetitious. Yet amid all this dislocation and unease, just audible above the fake moans of the phone-sex line, some image of an alternative, authentic existence tests its wings.

Is love "blind" when it comes to gender? For women, it just might be. This unsettling and original book offers a radical new understanding of the context-dependent nature of female sexuality. Lisa Diamond argues that for some women, love and desire are not rigidly heterosexual or homosexual but fluid, changing as women move through the stages of life, various social groups, and, most important, different love relationships.
This perspective clashes with traditional views of sexual orientation as a stable and fixed trait. But that view is based on research conducted almost entirely on men. Diamond is the first to study a large group of women over time. She has tracked 100 women for more than ten years as they have emerged from adolescence into adulthood. She summarizes their experiences and reviews research ranging from the psychology of love to the biology of sex differences. Sexual Fluidity offers moving first-person accounts of women falling in and out of love with men or women at different times in their lives. For some, gender becomes irrelevant: "I fall in love with the person, not the gender," say some respondents.
Sexual Fluidity offers a new understanding of women's sexuality--and of the central importance of love.

This book is a collection of 13 studies of sodomy and sodomites in Portugal and Brazil from Henry the Navigator to modern Rio de Janeiro. Includes the first English translations of several important studies previously available only in Portuguese.

Gender differentiation is a universal human social norm. Every society has a mechanism intact for casting people into socio-sexual roles and this gender process can be traced in the archaeological record. That said, one must quickly counter that HOW gender is expressed varies drastically. Within a culture, the engendering process varies according to caste, class, economic standing or other cultural sub-group. Between cultures gender is continually interacting with other social norms. Gender takes on a life of its own as it changes through time, like all other aspects of a society. Tracking this change through time and space is the study of what I call "archaeogender."

We Will Be Heard chronicles the struggles of women in the United States for political power from 1892 to 2007. Fifteen case studies and an overview look at different ways in which women have broken barriers, practiced politics, and promoted public policy.

"Sons of Ishmael" is the epithet that many Christian writers of the Middle Ages gave to Muslims. Sons of Ishmael focuses on the history of conflict and convergence between Latin Christendom and the Arab Muslim world during this period.

John Tolan is one of the world's foremost scholars in the field of early Christian/Muslim interactions. These 11 essays explore, in greater depth than his previous books, a wide variety of topics.

The Bible and Qur'an agree that Arabs were the descendants of Ishmael, son of Abraham and Hagar. Ishmael is described in Genesis as "a wild man; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him." To many medieval Christians, this was a prophecy of the violence and enmity between Ishmael's progeny and the Christians--spiritual descendants of his half-brother Isaac.

Yet Tolan also discusses areas of convergence between Christendom and Islam such as the devotion to the Virgin Mary in 12th-century Syria and Egypt and the chivalrous myths surrounding Muslim princes, especially Saladin.

By providing a closer look at the ways Europeans perceived Islam and Muslims in the Middle Ages, Tolan opens a window into understanding the roots of current stereotypes of Muslims and Arabs in Western culture.

As world attention is renewed and refocused on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the 60th anniversary of its seminal year of 1948, Marda Dunsky takes a close look at how more than two dozen major American print and broadcast outlets have reported the conflict in recent years. Beginning with the failed Camp David summit of July 2000 through the waning of the second Palestinian uprising in the summer of 2004, she finds that the media omit two key contextual elements: the significant impact that U.S. policy has had and continues to have on the trajectory of the conflict, and the way international law and consensus have addressed the key issues of Israeli settlement and annexation policies and Palestinian refugees. Dunsky explores how reports of the conflict routinely take on the contours of American policy and rarely challenge the premises of this Washington consensus. She also examines the media's responses to allegations of biased coverage and gauges the effect that mainstream news reporting has on public opinion and U.S. foreign policy.

This book surveys the social and cultural history of sexuality in early modern Europe by emphasizing the interrelationships among and between practices and ideological change in family form, religious organization, medicine and science, legal structures, and notions of deviancy.

As twentieth-century city planners invested in new transportation systems to deal with urban growth, they ensured that the automobile rather than mass transit would dominate transportation. Combining an exploration of planning documents, sociological studies, and popular culture, this book shows how our urban infrastructure developed and how it has shaped American culture ever since.

The cover was designed by U of C graduate and art major Anjali Grant, AB'90.

This book demonstrates the vital connection between language and gesture, and why it is critical for research on second language acquisition to take into account the full spectrum of communicative phenomena. The study of gesture in applied linguistics is just beginning to come of age. This edited volume, the first of its kind, covers a broad range of concerns that are central to the field of SLA. The chapters focus on a variety of second-language contexts, including adult classroom and naturalistic learners, and represent learners from a variety of language and cultural backgrounds.

Gesture: Second Language Acquisition and Classroom Research is organized in five sections: Part I, Gesture and its L2 Applications, provides both an overview of gesture studies and a review of the L2 gesture research; Part II, Gesture and Making Meaning in the L2, offers three studies that all take an explicitly sociocultural view of the role of gesture in SLA; Part III, Gesture and Communication in the L2, focuses on the use and comprehension of gesture as an aspect of communication; Part IV, Gesture and Linguistic Structure in the L2, addresses the relationship between gesture and the acquisition of linguistic features, and how gesture relates to proficiency; Part V, Gesture and the L2 Classroom, considers teachers' gestures, students' gestures, and how students interpret teachers' gestures.

Although there is a large body of research on gesture across a number of disciplines including anthropology, communications, psychology, sociology, and child development, to date there has been comparatively little investigation of gesture within applied linguistics. This volume provides readers unfamiliar with L2 gesture studies with a powerful new lens with which to view many aspects of language in use, language learning, and language teaching.

This book focuses on the structure and cognitive functions of the sentence and the clause in the context of real-world discourse and activities. The notions of sentencehood and clausehood with special reference to the semantic histories of the terms sentence and clause, including their ethical, legal, and administrative uses, are examined. This is followed by a concise historical survey of the treatment of the sentence in a few of the ancient linguistic and philosophical traditions. A wide variety of sentence types, from a cross-section of languages spoken in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, are presented by way of factual evidence for sentences and clauses as linguistic units. Formally defined notions of the sentence and the clause as syntactic, semantic, contextual, and phonological constituents in major frameworks are examined and assessed for their essential properties and points of convergence. The book concludes with an examination of how the sentence relates to the domains of computation, predication, reference, and creative writing.

Hieratic studies have long been the provenance of an elite segment of the Egyptology community of scholars. This paper suggests an alternative approach to the subject and maps out a possible way in which hieratic may enter the mainstream of scientific investigation, as illustrated by one of the most common sign, the seated man, as found in Late Egyptian.

In 1865, W. Pleyte attempted to introduce a standard font for hieratic. Since then, all hopes of a standard hieratic font were discarded "once and for all," according to Gardiner, writing in 1929. Now, seventy years later, I am pleased to offer, through this present book, an introductory hieratic font for Late Egyptian, based on a standardized stroke sequence.

This font and paleography provide a beginning step in a new approach to studying hieratic texts. The stroke sequence manual presents the first systematic ordering for any possible hieratic sign, ligature or group writing. The Gardiner sign list provides a cross reference with that long established classification system.

As I come to the end of working on this reference work, I realize that it falls short of its ultimate goal. As a "paleography," it does not yet accurately reproduce the handwriting of any particular Egyptian scribe. As a "font manual," it does not yet provide a simple solution for every hieratic sign. Furthermore, the two goals of the work may rightly be considered to be in opposition to one another. The ultimate goal of paleography is to analyze past handwriting variability as a dating and locating tool. The goal of creating a font is to standardize and systematize writing. At the risk of doing neither, I have endeavored to take a middle course in this introductory reference work, and try to do both. It is "introductory," because it does not replicate any paleographic hand completely, and it does not provide anything close to a complete set of fonts. It does provide a wide variety of both paleographic styles and fonts. It also provides an easy reference system, whereby hieroglyphic equivalents for different hieratic signs can be studied. In that respect, it is also a useful supplement to Muller's century old reference work, which we may eventually replace.

We of course have no evidence that Egyptian hieratic signs were organized in any particular manner. This is a new research tool, a system to assist modern scholars, based on standard principles of calligraphy. It allows for the first simple, consistent group classification and ordering of single signs, ligatures and group writings. It also attempts to reflect a reconstruction of ancient writing sequences, which may become more understood, with further application of this analytical approach.

In fictional conversations with Pierre Fermat, the underpinnings and implications of Fermat's Last Theorem are examined using only the mathematical skills and methodology that would be possessed by the accomplished high-school graduate. Although a proof of that theorem is beyond the scope of the book, the objective is to provide sufficient insight so that the reader can appreciate the plausibility of Fermat's Last Theorem.

Mathematical craftwork has become extremely popular, and mathematicians and crafters alike are fascinated by the relationship between their crafts. The focus of this book, written for mathematicians, needleworkers, and teachers of mathematics, is on the relationship between mathematics and the fiber arts (including knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, and quilting). Each chapter starts with an overview of the mathematics and the needlework at a level understandable to both mathematicians and needleworkers, followed by more technical sections discussing the mathematics, how to introduce the mathematics in the classroom through needlework, and how to make the needlework project, including patterns and instructions.

About this textbook: comprehensive work that covers the vast majority of the material needed for a beginning graduate-level course on complex analysis; wonderfully elegant and economical treatment of complex analysis; provides a real variety of alternative ways of understanding the concept of analyticity.

This book is intended for a graduate course on complex analysis, also known as function theory. The main focus is the theory of complex-valued functions of a single complex variable. This theory is a prerequisite for the study of many current and rapidly developing areas of mathematics including the theory of several and infinitely many complex variables, the theory of groups, hyperbolic geometry and three-manifolds, and number theory. Complex analysis has connections and applications to many other subjects in mathematics and to other sciences. It is an area where the classic and the modern techniques meet and benefit from each other. This material should be part of the education of every practicing mathematician, and it will also be of interest to computer scientists, physicists, and engineers.

The first part of the book is a study of the many equivalent ways of understanding the concept of analyticity. The many ways of formulating the concept of an analytic function are summarized in what is termed the Fundamental Theorem for functions of a complex variable. The organization of these conditions into a single unifying theorem with an emphasis on clarity and elegance is a hallmark of Lipman Bers's mathematical style. Here it provides a conceptual framework for results that are highly technical and often computational. The framework comes from an insight that, once articulated, will drive the subsequent mathematics and lead to new results.

In the second part, the text proceeds to a leisurely exploration of interesting ramifications of the main concepts.

The book covers most, if not all, of the material contained in Bers's courses on first year complex analysis. In addition, topics of current interest such as zeros of holomorphic functions and the connection between hyperbolic geometry and complex analysis are explored.

This text and reference book on category theory, a branch of abstract algebra, is aimed not only at students of mathematics, but also researchers and students of computer science, logic, linguistics, cognitive science, philosophy, and any of the other fields that now make use of it. Containing clear definitions of the essential concepts, illuminated with numerous accessible examples, and providing full proofs of all important propositions and theorems, this book aims to make the basic ideas, theorems, and methods of category theory understandable to this broad readership. Although it assumes few mathematical prerequisites, the standard of mathematical rigour is not compromised. The material covered includes the standard core of categories; functors; natural transformations; equivalence; limits and colimits; functor categories; representables; Yoneda's lemma; adjoints; monads. An extra topic of cartesian closed categories and the lambda-calculus is also provided; a must for computer scientists, logicians and linguists!

This college-level textbook combines first-semester calculus with precalculus and algebra, and is for students with weak backgrounds who need a rigorous calculus course. In true University of Chicago style, this book covers everything from a theoretical standpoint that asks "why" and not just "how."

What impact does chronic disease have on aging, and what can we do about it? Aging and Chronic Disorders brings the most up-to-date answers into clear, readable focus. Focusing on the most prevalent conditions affecting older adults (diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, low back pain, and fibromyalgia), Stephen J. Morewitz and Mark L. Goldstein analyze disabilities and risk factors, stressors and coping strategies, treatment and rehabilitation methods, and patient education and self-management. Separate chapters are devoted to cognitive changes, psychological problems, and trends in health care utilization among seniors, and chapters are amplified by current research findings and instructive case studies.

According to the National Kidney Foundation, one out of every nine people in the United States is affected by kidney disease. Dialysis Without Fear is the first-ever family guide for dialysis patients who suffer from kidney/renal failure and who wish to simplify their lives and dispel the misconception that one must be "tied down" to their dialysis machine for the duration of their treatment, whether it be for a brief stint or for life. Written by a doctor and his family, with 7 years of first-hand experience of life on dialysis, Dialysis Without Fear provides a true-to-life account of what being on dialysis is like and what one can do to maintain as normal a life as possible during treatment.

This is the 4th edition of the Pancreas Fascicle. This profusely illustrated atlas provides standardized nomenclature for and international standards for diagnosing tumors of the pancreas.

Building Genetic Medicine explores the development of one of the most highly anticipated and publicized technologies of the genomic revolution: genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer. Built in the late 1990s, this technology promised to bring the new powers of disease prediction through DNA analysis to a health problem that had puzzled health care professionals, scientists, and patients in the developed world for decades. It quickly became clear, however, that individual countries would adopt very different approaches towards this technology, both in terms of its development and its integration into health care infrastructures. Through comparative analysis of the development of this new technology in the United States and Britain, this book demonstrates how national contexts--in terms of political structures and cultures, national histories and traditions--shape the development of new science and technology, and how these differences have very important implications for contemporary citizens, even in an era of globalization.

As a whole, the book is structured as an interview guide, and vocabulary is reviewed by organ system, paralleling standard medical clinical skills education. Each key concept is reinforced by illustrations, cultural notes, sample dialogues, comprehension questions, and simulated patient-doctor encounters on the enclosed DVD. The book's unique and concise approach makes it intuitive to learn medical Spanish!

During World War II Americans were urged to ration food, raise money, and accept higher taxes. After September 11, we were given tax cuts and asked to shop. Has the United States broken a noble tradition of fiscal sacrifice with the current, unprecedented wartime tax cuts, or are they the mark of new economic and social forces at work? War and Taxes weighs the question by considering six conflicts that span the American Revolution to the present war in Iraq.

We Will Be Heard chronicles the struggles of women in the United States for political power from 1892 to 2007. Fifteen case studies and an overview look at different ways in which women have broken barriers, practiced politics, and promoted public policy.

Educational policy controversies in the United States invariably implicate legal issues. Policy debates about testing and school choice, for example, cannot be disentangled from legal rights and mandates. The same is true for issues such as funding, campus safety, speech and religion rights, as well as the teaching of immigrant students. Written for a general audience, this book explores these compelling educational policy issues through that legal lens, building an understanding of both law and policy. The book's editors, Kevin Welner and Wendy Chi, are lawyers as well as educational scholars.

No American living in 1800 would have predicted that Thomas Jefferson’'s idiosyncratic views on church and state would eclipse those of George Washington, —let along become constitutional dogma. Yet today’'s Supreme Court guards no doctrine more fiercely than Jefferson'’s antagonistic wall of separation between church and state. Washington’'s sharply contrasting view, explored in this pathbreaking book, returns us to a more reasonable interpretation of the First Amendment, consistent with religion’s importance to the strength of a republic.

The most admired man of his age, Washington presided over the Constitutional Convention and was president when religious freedom was enshrined in the Bill of Rights. His claim to constitutional authority is considerably more impressive than the brilliant, —but eccentric—, Jefferson’'s. Washington considered religion essential for the virtue required of self-governing citizens. Though careful not to favor particular sects, he believed that a republic must not merely accommodate religion but encourage it.

Ross and Smith combine a study of Washington'’s thought with a copious appendix containing the full texts of his letters, speeches, and official documents on issues of church and state. They present his views chronologically, devoting a chapter to each state of his career: young regimental office, colonial legislator, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, head of the Constitutional Convention, and president of the United States. An epilogue explains how Jefferson’'s separationist perspective achieved its disproportional influence on the modern Supreme Court.

In this book, Michael Gerhardt, a law professor at the University of North Carolina, provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the role of precedent in constitutional law. Gerhardt synthesizes both legal and social-science analysis to show that most constitutional law is relatively stable, that public institutions such as the Supreme Court are generally constrained to recognize and employ precedent as a mode of constitutional discourse, and that particular prior constitutional decisions do not exert much constraint in constitutional adjudication. Nevertheless, Gerhardt shows further that there is a durable golden rule of precedent in constitutional law, one which calls upon justices generally to respect the precedents of others if others are to respect their preferred precedents.

This book should be of interest to legal scholars, social scientists, and anyone else interested in the role of precedent in constitutional law. It is a timely book, given that there are many precedents that the current majority of the Supreme Court may wish to weaken if not overrule.

Is love "blind" when it comes to gender? For women, it just might be. This unsettling and original book offers a radical new understanding of the context-dependent nature of female sexuality. Lisa Diamond argues that for some women, love and desire are not rigidly heterosexual or homosexual but fluid, changing as women move through the stages of life, various social groups, and, most important, different love relationships.
This perspective clashes with traditional views of sexual orientation as a stable and fixed trait. But that view is based on research conducted almost entirely on men. Diamond is the first to study a large group of women over time. She has tracked 100 women for more than ten years as they have emerged from adolescence into adulthood. She summarizes their experiences and reviews research ranging from the psychology of love to the biology of sex differences. Sexual Fluidity offers moving first-person accounts of women falling in and out of love with men or women at different times in their lives. For some, gender becomes irrelevant: "I fall in love with the person, not the gender," say some respondents.
Sexual Fluidity offers a new understanding of women's sexuality--and of the central importance of love.

This introductory undergraduate text on child and adolescent psychopathology adopts a developmental psychopathology approach to understanding child disorders. The authors examines the emergence of disorders over time, pays special attention to risk and protective factors that influence developmental processes and trajectories, and examines child psychopathology in the context of normal development.

The author has four main goals: to show students why an understanding of child psychopathology and its treatment might be important to them as future psychologists, social workers, educators, and/or parents; to introduce students to the developmental psychopathology perspective and how it can help organize understanding of childhood disorders; to help students appreciate the interdependence of psychological research and clinical practice; and to engage students in higher-level thinking necessary to analyze information, critically evaluate ideas, and create solutions to real-world problems based on empirically validated findings.

Children who are overwhelmed by stress or plagued by emptiness, who are unable to concentrate or pay attention, who lack a conscience and exude apathy, or are obsessed with media-induced trends, give us much to consider. Pierce takes a hard look at the emerging data on the effects of daycare, the hyper-structuring of children with endless activities, and our moral-philosophical priorities. She documents how these have spelled the death of childhood-the most crucial stage in human development. Steeped in intellectual permissiveness, we have convinced ourselves that parental substitutes are as good as parents themselves at caring for children, that more lessons and sports are better than less and that the earlier children embark upon them the better and that innocence and knowledge are less important than worldly attitudes and competitive skills. Could it be that America's thrust forward leaves children without a solid foundation upon which to grow? This is the question asked, and ultimately answered in this sobering book.

This book traces the incubation, setting and whole course and substance of a major human science and helping system. The author's first-hand acquaintance with this "person-centered approach" spans half a century, and includes memorable years with Carl Rogers and fellow students at the University of Chicago, in the 1950s. Inquiry into contextual influences in the emergence and nature of Rogers' innovation, and its rapid ascendance in the helping field, occupies the first part of the book. Rogers' outlook and thought is linked to the socio-political context and emergencies of the time, including the Great Depression, Roosevelt's New Deal and the War years. The second part of the volume reviews the development of practice, research and theory through the first quarter century of the new school. The next (big) part of the book provides a close-up view of the spectrum of applications and process, from individual therapy to large groups and community. The fourth group of chapters focuses on the story and contributions of research in psychotherapy and other fields that this system has spawned, from earliest beginnings to current challenges. Concluding chapters search into issues, process and programs in training, revisit core features of the approach over the long haul, and propose further ways of expanding the theory and range of practice.

This is not a special or single-purpose book, and was long in preparation. It grew out of the author's absorbed interest and a career-long involvement in the approach it focuses and his steady concern for a deeper and expanded frame of understanding. Engagement over time not only with Rogers himself but a community of other vital contributors nourished this search and its outcomes. The author ends his preface--a 'letter to reader-companions'--by expressing his wish that the book 'honours the trust of your interest'.

The Theaetetus is one of the most widely studied of any of the Platonic dialogues because its dominant theme concerns the significant philosophical question: What is knowledge? In this new interpretation of the Theaetetus, Stern provides the first full-length treatment of its political character in relationship to this dominant theme. In particular, he argues that this approach sheds significant light on the distinctiveness of the Socratic way of life, with respect to both its initial justification and its ultimate character.

When Dorothy Day died in 1980, many people assumed that the movement she had founded would gradually fade away. But the current state of the Catholic Worker movement--more than two hundred active communities--reflects Day's fierce attention to the present moment and the local community.

The Catholic Worker after Dorothy explores the reality of Catholic Worker communities today. What holds them together? How have they developed to incorporate families? How do Catholic Workers relate to the institutional church and to other radical communities? What impact does the movement have on the world today?

The testimony of this book reaffirms the original New Testament witness, that the Christian's separation from the world is so radical that in the eyes of the unbaptized worldling he is quite literally out of his mind (Acts 26:24 NIV). Paul's description of the Christian gospel as folly (1 Corinthians 1:18-20 RSV) therefore is seen to be no mere literary device but a deep penetration to the root of the Christian's alienation from the world.

This book consists of transcriptions and translations from Latin, German, and Dutch of 82 documents related to religious persecution and aid to refugees, carefully annotated and introduced as to historical context in Switzerland, Alsace, and the Palatinate.

This book is the second volume in a series, the first of which is Hans Landis, Swiss Anabaptist Martyr (2003).
