I Am SO Outta Here! was mandated to release you from the unyielding grips of those who have misunderstood their assignment in your life. Many of us have experienced disheartening encounters in the very place God designed to set us free: the local church. Author Cassandra Smith shares no fewer than five real-life scenarios by which to measure your time and effectiveness in your current location. As with Cassandra, it may be time for you to step into greater realms of effectiveness and ministry, or maybe, like Beth, the passion of your life is calling you by name. You might be in a dilemma like Brother Mason, who had to decide whether he was to be the father to his son or allow the pastor to rule his home remotelyor, God forbid, you might be in need of escaping the grasp of a manipulative, lust-filled leader, as Tressa was. Each of these individuals had to sever themselves relentlessly from grips that went beyond Gods authority into distorted personal agendasnot to mention first lady issues! Sisters and brothers, often in our Christian walk leaving one church for another is a necessity. Learn how to assesslike Cassandra, Beth, Tressa, and Brother Masonif it is in fact your time to declare, I am SO outta here! And time is of the essence, lest your future becomes that of Mr. Carrington, who stayed too long where he was; as a result, his unfulfilled dream became his nightmare.

Phantom Limb

Amputation, Embodiment, and Prosthetic Technology

By: Cassandra Crawford

Phantom limb pain is one of the most intractable and merciless pains ever known—a pain that haunts appendages that do not physically exist, often persisting with uncanny realness long after fleshy limbs have been traumatically, surgically, or congenitally lost. The very existence and “naturalness” of this pain has been instrumental in modern science’s ability to create prosthetic technologies that many feel have transformative, self-actualizing, and even transcendent power. In Phantom Limb, Cassandra S. Crawford critically examines phantom limb pain and its relationship to prosthetic innovation, tracing the major shifts in knowledge of the causes and characteristics of the phenomenon. Crawford exposes how the meanings of phantom limb pain have been influenced by developments in prosthetic science and ideas about the extraordinary power of these technologies to liberate and fundamentally alter the human body, mind, and spirit. Through intensive observation at a prosthetic clinic, interviews with key researchers and clinicians, and an analysis of historical and contemporary psychological and medical literature, she examines the modernization of amputation and exposes how medical understanding about phantom limbs has changed from the late-19th to the early-21st century. Crawford interrogates the impact of advances in technology, medicine, psychology and neuroscience, as well as changes in the meaning of limb loss, popular representations of amputees, and corporeal ideology. Phantom Limb questions our most deeply held ideas of what is normal, natural, and even moral about the physical human body.

Police Use of Excessive Force against African Americans

Historical Antecedents and Community Perceptions

By: Ray Von Robertson,Cassandra D. Chaney

Robertson and Chaney examine how the early antecedents of police brutality like plantation overseers, the lynching of African American males, early race riots, the Rodney King incident, and the Los Angeles Rampart Scandal have directly impacted the current relationship between communities of color and police. Using a phenomenological framework, they analyze how African American college students perceive police to determine how race, gender, and education create different realities among a demographic. Based on their qualitative and quantitative findings, Robertson and Chaney offer recommended policies and strategies for police and communities to improve relationships and perceptions between the two.

The Plant Hunter

A Scientist's Quest for Nature's Next Medicines

By: Cassandra Leah Quave

The uplifting, adventure-filled memoir of one groundbreaking scientist’s quest to develop new ways to fight illness and disease through the healing powers of plants. “A fascinating and deeply personal journey.” —Amy Stewart, author of Wicked Plants and The Drunken Botanist Traveling by canoe, ATV, mule, airboat, and on foot, Dr. Cassandra Quave has conducted field research everywhere from the flooded forests of the remote Amazon to the isolated mountaintops in Albania and Kosovo—all in search of natural compounds, long-known to traditional healers, that could help save us all from the looming crisis of untreatable superbugs. Dr. Quave is a leading medical ethnobotanist—someone who identifies and studies plants that may be able to treat antimicrobial resistance and other threatening illnesses—helping to provide clues for the next generation of advanced medicines. And as a person born with multiple congenital defects of her skeletal system, she's done it all with just one leg. In The Plant Hunter, Dr. Quave weaves together science, botany, and memoir to tell us the extraordinary story of her own journey.

Genomics

The Science and Technology Behind the Human Genome Project

By: Charles R. Cantor,Cassandra L. Smith

A unique exploration of the principles and methods underlying the Human Genome Project and modern molecular genetics and biotechnology-from two top researchers In Genomics, Charles R. Cantor, former director of the Human Genome Project, and Cassandra L. Smith give the first integral overview of the strategies and technologies behind the Human Genome Project and the field of molecular genetics and biotechnology. Written with a range of readers in mind-from chemists and biologists to computer scientists and engineers-the book begins with a review of the basic properties of DNA and the chromosomes that package it in cells. The authors describe the three main techniques used in DNA analysis-hybridization, polymerase chain reaction, and electrophoresis-and present a complete exploration of DNA mapping in its many different forms. By explaining both the theoretical principles and practical foundations of modern molecular genetics to a wide audience, the book brings the scientific community closer to the ultimate goal of understanding the biological function of DNA. Genomics features: * Topical organization within chapters for easy reference * A discussion of the developing methods of sequencing, such as sequencing by hybridization (SBH) in which data is read through words instead of letters * Detailed explanations and critical evaluations of the many different types of DNA maps that can be generated-including cytogenic and restriction maps as well as interspecies cell hybrids * Informed predictions for the future of DNA sequencing

Unpaved Identity

By: Cassandra Smith

He had once told me he was the Morning Sun. I felt my Angel was no longer at my side; has he now taken her place? The path God paved for me seem to be no more. Again, he asks Sandy, what did you see? I was afraid, he assures me that he will let no harm come to me. He rocked me back and forth, embracing me in his arms. He tells me not to worry, that the world will become my playground. I knew right then that I had been given an identity that was not my own; an identity that had not been paved for me. UNPAVED IDENTITY.

Whispers of Silent Screams

By: Cassandra Smith

Where did you go, where could you be, how could you just keep leaving me? All alone in a world where nothing is ever what it seems. Every night in my dreams; whispers of silent screams. Too young to defend myself, so afraid I try to hide. Blood tears dripping from my eyes as death lurks at my side. I whisper out to you, why didn't you face the truth? Were you afraid of me? Didn't you know who I would grow to be? Too tortured to scream out, too frail too insane couldn't deal with all the pain, Mother do you hear me? I can only whisper out your name...
