The Baltimore Rowhouse

The Baltimore Rowhouse

By: Charles Belfoure,Mary Ellen Hayward

Perhaps no other American city is so defined by an indigenous architectural style as Baltimore is by the rowhouse, whose brick facades march up and down the gentle hills of the city. Why did the rowhouse thrive in Baltimore? How did it escape destruction here, unlike in many other historic American cities? What were the forces that led to the citywide renovation of Baltimore's rowhouses? The Baltimore Rowhouse tells the fascinating 200-year story of this building type. It chronicles the evolution of the rowhouse from its origins as speculative housing for immigrants, through its reclamation and renovation by young urban pioneers thanks to local government sponsorship, to its current occupation by a new cadre of wealthy professionals.

Chasing Dillinger

Police Captain Matt Leach, J. Edgar Hoover and the Rivalry to Capture Public Enemy No. 1

By: Ellen Poulsen,Lori Hyde

Indiana State Police Captain Matt Leach led the hunt for John Dillinger during the violent early 1930s. Pushing a media campaign aimed at smoking out the fugitive, Leach elevated Dillinger to unprecedented notoriety. In return, Dillinger taunted him with phone calls and postcards, and vowed to kill him. Leach's use of publicity backfired, making him a pariah among his fellow policemen, and the FBI ordered his firing in 1937 for challenging their authority. This is the first full-length biography of the man.

DNP Role Development for Doctoral Advanced Nursing Practice

By: H. Michael Dreher, PhD, RN, FAAN, ANEF,Mary Ellen Smith Glasgow, PhD, RN, ACNS-BC, ANEF, FAAN,Michael D. Dahnke, PhD,Valerie T. Cotter, DNP, AGPCNP-BC, FAANP, FAAN

Provides important new content on specific ethical, leadership, and advocacy capabilities that advance the DNP role in nursing practice This core text for the DNP curriculum encompasses all facets of the evolving advanced practice role including diverse professional opportunities and options for career advancement. With ten completely new chapters, the third edition conveys the latest developments in doctoral-level capabilities, including the specific ethical, leadership, and advocacy components that advance these roles. New content addresses health equity, role negotiation, ethical and leadership dilemmas for the clinician, and the preceptor role in relation to doctoral-level advanced practice. Considering the predominance of students seeking the Nurse Practitioner role, the book emphasizes the clinical context for the DNP along with the new AACN Domain of Professionalism. There also are contributions from Nurse Midwives, Nurse Anesthetists, Clinical Nurse Specialists, and DNPs in the Nurse Educator role. The text is distinguished by distinctive Reflective Responses to the authors of all chapters. These may be characterized as a Point-Counterpoint feature—consisting of commentaries by scholars of varying points of view—that stimulates substantive critical dialogue. It examines the role of evidence—both practice-based evidence and evidence-based practice—in the context of clinical problems and policy formation and focuses on how the doctoral advanced prepared nurse can discriminate, translate, and sometimes generate new nursing evidence. The text addresses the need for both forms of evidence and underscores the importance of innovative healthcare intervention models. Included is practical information illustrated with examples geared for both BSN-DNP students and MSN-DNP students. Content on the DNP/PhD double doctorate and the impact of DNP leadership on organizations further examines the relationship between nursing practice, education, and science. New to the Third Edition: Ten new chapters, including coverage of: COVID-19; BSN-DNP Trajectories; Practice-Based Evidence and Evidence-Based Practice; Health Equity; Role Negotiation, Ethical, Leadership, and Advocacy Roles; and 2021 AACN Essentials Expanded roles and content for students of varying experience levels Emphasis on the new AACN Domain of Professionalism throughout Key Features: Focuses on DNP role development with extensive contributions by leading DNP scholars and clinicians Delivers Reflective Responses in a Point-Counterpoint format to stimulate vigorous class discussion Provides critical thinking questions throughout including Reflective Response

Sin in the City

Chicago and Revivalism, 1880-1920

By: Thekla Ellen Joiner

Long before today’s culture wars, the “Third Great Awakening” rocked America. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, evangelists such as Dwight L. Moody and Billy Sunday roused citizens to renounce sin as it manifested in popular culture, moral ambiguity, and the changing role of women. Sin in the City examines three urban revivals in turn-of-the-century Chicago to show how revivalists negotiated that era’s perceived racial, sexual, and class threats. While most studies of this movement have focused on its male leaders and their interactions with society, Thekla Ellen Joiner raises new questions about gender and race by exploring Third Awakening revivalism as the ritualized performance of an evangelical social system defined by middle-class Protestant moral aspirations for urban America. Rather than approaching these events merely as the achievements of persuasive men, she views them as choreographed collective rituals reinforcing a moral order defined by ideals of femininity, masculinity, and racial purity. Joiner reveals how revivalist rhetoric and ritual shifted from sentimentalist identification of sin with males to a more hard-nosed focus on females, castigating “loose women” whose economic and sexual independence defied revivalist ideals and its civic culture. She focuses on Dwight L. Moody’s 1893 World’s Fair revival, the 1910 Chapman-Alexander campaign, and the 1918 Billy Sunday revival, comparing the locations, organization, messages, and leaders of these three events to depict the shift from masculinized to feminized sin. She identifies the central role women played in the Third Awakening as the revivalists promoted feminine virtue as the corrective to America’s urban decline. She also shows that even as its definition of sin became more feminized, Billy Sunday’s revivalism began to conform to Chicago’s emerging color line. Enraged by rapid social change in cities like Chicago, these preachers spurred Protestant evangelicals to formulate a gendered and racialized moral regime for urban America. Yet, as Joiner shows, even as revivalists demonized new forms of entertainment, they used many of the modern cultural practices popularized in theaters and nickelodeons to boost the success of their mass conversions. Sin in the City shows that the legacy of the Third Awakening lives on today in the religious right’s sociopolitical activism; crusade for family values; disparagement of feminism; and promotion of spirituality in middle-class, racial, and cultural terms. Providing cultural and gender analysis too often lacking in the study of American religious history, it offers a new model for understanding the development of a gendered theology and set of religious practices that influenced Protestantism in a period of enormous social change.

The New Single Woman

By: Ellen Kay Trimberger

In this watershed book, E. Kay Trimberger tackles one of the largest social phenomena of our times: the increasing number of single women over thirty-five. Drawing on the diverse personal stories of long-term single women, including herself, Trimberger explodes the idea that fulfillment comes only through finding a soul mate. Instead, she presents an exciting new identity possible for women in the twenty-first century: the new single woman. The new single woman rejects the cultural pressure to couple and unabashedly lives a fulfilling single life, one where she is not on her own, not defined primarily by self-reliance but by her skills at creating friendships and her ability to link networks of friends into a community. Trimberger's analysis opens up new alternatives for the "good life" and speaks to the anxieties of single women in their twenties and early thirties."--BOOK JACKET.

Colonial Justice and Decolonization in the High Court of Tanzania, 1920-1971

By: Ellen R. Feingold

This book is the first study of the development and decolonization of a British colonial high court in Africa. It traces the history of the High Court of Tanzania from its establishment in 1920 to the end of its institutional process of decolonization in 1971. This process involved disentangling the High Court from colonial state structures and imperial systems that were built on racial inequality while simultaneously increasing the independence of the judiciary and application of British judicial principles. Feingold weaves together the rich history of the Court with a discussion of its judges – both as members of the British Colonial Legal Service and as individuals – to explore the impacts and intersections of imperial policies, national politics, and individual initiative. Colonial Justice and Decolonization in the High Court of Tanzania is a powerful reminder of the crucial roles played by common law courts in the operation and legitimization of both colonial and post-colonial states.

Building Writing Center Assessments That Matter

Building Writing Center Assessments That Matter

By: Ellen Schendel,William J. Macauley

No less than other divisions of the college or university, contemporary writing centers find themselves within a galaxy of competing questions and demands that relate to assessment—questions and demands that usually embed priorities from outside the purview of the writing center itself. Writing centers are used to certain kinds of assessment, both quantitative and qualitative, but are often unprepared to address larger institutional or societal issues. In Building Writing Center Assessments that Matter, Schendel and Macauley start from the kinds of assessment strengths already in place in writing centers, and they build a framework that can help writing centers satisfy local needs and put them in useful dialogue with the larger needs of their institutions, while staying rooted in writing assessment theory. The authors begin from the position that tutoring writers is already an assessment activity, and that good assessment practice (rooted in the work of Adler-Kassner, O'Neill, Moore, and Huot) already reflects the values of writing center theory and practice. They offer examples of assessments developed in local contexts, and of how assessment data built within those contexts can powerfully inform decisions and shape the futures of local writing centers. With additional contributions by Neal Lerner, Brian Huot and Nicole Caswell, and with a strong commitment to honoring on-site local needs, the volume does not advocate a one-size-fits-all answer. But, like the modeling often used in a writing consultation, examples here illustrate how important assessment principles have been applied in a range of local contexts. Ultimately, Building Writing Assessments that Matter describes a theory stance toward assessment for writing centers that honors the uniqueness of the writing center context, and examples of assessment in action that are concrete, manageable, portable, and adaptable.

The Best of the Best Horror of the Year

By: Ellen Datlow

***One of Publishers Weekly's ""Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2018""*** A group of mountain climbers, caught in the dark, fight to survive their descent; in the British countryside, hundreds of magpies ascend into the sky, higher and higher, until they seem to vanish into the heavens; a professor and his student track a zombie horde in order to research zombie behavior; an all-girl riding school has sinister secrets; a town rails in vain against a curse inflicted upon it by its founders.

Inferno

New Tales of Terror and the Supernatural

By: Ellen Datlow

As stated in her introduction to Inferno, Ellen Datlow asked her favorite authors for stories that would "provide the reader with a frisson of shock, or a moment of dread so powerful it might cause the reader outright physical discomfort; or a sensation of fear so palpable that the reader feels compelled to turn on the bright lights and play music or seek the company of others to dispel the fear." Mission accomplished. Datlow has produced a collection filled with some of the most powerful voices in the field: Pat Cadigan, Terry Dowling, Jeffrey Ford, Christopher Fowler, Glen Hirshberg, K. W. Jeter, Joyce Carol Oates, and Lucius Shepard, to name a few. Each author approaches fear in a different way, but all of the stories' characters toil within their own hell. An aptly titled anthology, Inferno will scare the pants off readers and further secure Ellen Datlow's standing as a preeminent editor of modern horror. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The Spirit's Tether

Family, Work, and Religion among American Catholics

By: Mary Ellen Konieczny

Cultural conflicts about the family - including those surrounding women's social roles, abortion, same-sex marriage, and contraception - have intensified over the last few decades among Catholics, as well as among Americans generally. In fact, they are the source of much of the political polarization we see. But how do individuals in local settings and cultures - especially religious ones - experience and participate in these conflicts? Why are they so resonant? By exploring how religion and family life are intertwined in local parish settings, Mary Ellen Konieczny seeks to explain how and why Catholics are divided about the family. The Spirit's Tether presents a detailed comparative ethnographic analysis of the families and local religious cultures in two Catholic parishes, one conservative and one progressive. Through an examination of the activities of parish life and the faith stories of parishioners, this book reveals how parishes support and shape the ways in which Catholics work out the routines of marriage, childrearing, and work-family balance, as well as how they connect these everyday challenges to public politics. Local parishes, Konieczny argues, promote polarization through practices that unintentionally fragment the Catholic tradition.
