Deleuze and Ethology

A Philosophy of Entangled Life

By: Jason Cullen

Ethology, or how animals relate to their environments, is currently enjoying increased academic attention. A prominent figure in this scholarship is Gilles Deleuze and yet, the significance of his relational metaphysics to ethology has still not been scrutinised. Jason Cullen's book is the first text to analyse Deleuze's philosophical ethology and he prioritises the theorist's examination of how beings relate to each other. For Cullen, Deleuze's Cinema books are integral to this investigation and he highlights how they expose a key Deleuzian theme: that beings are fundamentally continuous with each other. In light of this continuity then, Cullen reveals that how beings understand each other shapes them and allows them to transform their shared worlds.

Educating Citizens

Preparing America's Undergraduates for Lives of Moral and Civic Responsibility

By: Anne Colby,Thomas Ehrlich,Elizabeth Beaumont,Jason Stephens

Educating Citizens reports on how some American colleges and universities are preparing thoughtful, committed, and socially responsible graduates. Many institutions assert these ambitions, but too few act on them. The authors demonstrate the fundamental importance of moral and civic education, describe how the historical and contemporary landscapes of higher education have shaped it, and explain the educational and developmental goals and processes involved in educating citizens. They examine the challenges colleges and universities face when they dedicate themselves to this vital task and present concrete ways to overcome those challenges.

The Grammar of Repetition

The Grammar of Repetition

Nupe grammar at the syntaxphonology interface

By: Jason Kandybowicz

Displacement is a fundamental property of grammar. Typically, when an occurrence moves it is pronounced in only one environment. This was previously viewed as a primitive/irreducible property of grammar. Recent work, however, suggests that it follows from principled interactions between the syntactic and phonological components of grammar. As such, the phonetic character of movement chains can be seen as both a reflection of and probe into the syntax-phonology interface. This volume deals with repetition, an atypical outcome of movement operations in which displaced elements are pronounced multiple times. Although cross-linguistically rare, the phenomenon obtains robustly in Nupe, a Benue-Congo language of Nigeria. Repetition raises a tension of the descriptive-explanatory variety. In order to achieve both measures of adequacy, movement theory must be supplemented with an account of the conditions that drive and constrain multiple pronunciation. This book catalogs these conditions, bringing to light a number of undocumented aspects of Nupe grammar.

Making Managers in Canada, 1945-1995

Companies, Community Colleges, and Universities

By: Jason Russell

Management education and training was a key influence on Canadian capital and labour in the post-World War II decades, however it has been the subject of comparatively little academic inquiry. In many ways, historians have frequently learned about management behavior in unionized workplaces by examining labor-management relations. The management experience has thus often been seen through the eyes of rank-and-file workers rather than from the perspective of managers themselves. This book discusses how managers were trained and educated in Canada in the years following the Second World War. Making Managers in Canada, 1945 – 1995 seeks to shed light on the experience of workers who have not received much attention in business history: managers. This book approaches management training from both institutional and social history perspectives. Drawing from community colleges, universities, and companies in British Columbia, Ontario, and Québec, this book reveals the nature of management education and training in English and French Canada, It integrates institutional analysis, and examines how factors such as gender and social class shaped the development of Canadian management in the post-war years and illustrates the various international influences on Canadian management education.

War in Iraq - for my son

By: Jason Powell

Jason Powell's prose account of his time in Iraq belongs with those of the poets Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, and David Jones, with whom he shared the distinction of being a soldier of the Royal Welsh. Describing intimately the major incidents of the final, bitter months of the British occupation of Iraq, and told from an insistently personal point of view, the account ends with the certainty of salvation.

Turbospace

Turbospace

By: Jason Oneil

This novel is the third book in a trilogy about the impact an anti-gravity device on our civilization. In the first novel, The Red Box, the Flynn brothers, Matt and Murray, invent a toaster-size device that makes any host platform weightless. The first application is a seaplane call Baldie, named after the bald eagle, manufactured in partnership with Mercedes-Benz. In this Indiana Jonestype thriller, the Chinese attempt to steal the game-changing technology. But, in the end, the powerful Red Box rewards U.S. President Werner with his second term, a $1 billion check to the Flynns, and the potential to create 1 million new high-tech jobs in America. The second novel, Turbopod, applies the Red Box to an innovative personal vehicle called a Turbopod, which, because it can operate as an automobile, aircraft, helicopter, and hydroplane boat, alters global transportation. Working again with Mercedes-Benz, the brothers perfect a weightless, all-electric, extremely safe flying machine. Foreign countries attempt to use this vehicle to collapse the U.S. currency, but are brought down in several tactical air battles. Turbospace is the application of the Red Box to the space industry. The Red Box overcomes the need for huge, expensive, and dangerous rockets to escape from the downward pull of gravity. The Red Box enables a cluster of Bald Eagle spacecraft to form a moon base for experiments to aid in the research of global warming. Again, in the Indiana Jones style, two astronauts disable a Chinese weapon clandestinely placed on the moon. This trilogy provides a glimpse into the future and how such an anti-gravity device could impact life on Earth and beyond.

Solarmania

A Family’s Research Debunks Climate Change

By: Jason O'Neil

In this novel a NASA meteorologist challenges his family to a year-long search for the truth if Global Warming is both real and caused by mankind leading to extinction. Forty percent of Americans believe it’s a hoax and a tool to control society for Socialist goals. The Murray family covers the globe with family members serving as Electric Vehicle salesman, solar panel lobbyist, National Park ranger, and archeologists digging for proof. A small satellite was even lunched to monitor the thermafrost in Alaska. They uncover the total folly of the windmills on hilltops and seacoasts. A research trip to an electric vehicle factory uncovers the hidden costs of the vehicles, including battery disposal. Even the falsehoods of the “Great Reset” about climate are exposed. Three of the family members take a research cruise to Antarctica where they learn about ocean warming, ice bergs, and the fate of animals, particularly the polar bears. They discover how China uses climate as a weapon to transform America into a Communist state. In the end, the family celebrates Thanksgiving at the Phantom Ranch on the bottom of the Grand Canyon. After dessert, each family member reveals his or her findings about the topic. The story ends with Dr. Murray summarizing the year-long findings of seven people into one sentence.

NOMOPHOBIA

Teen Smart Phone Addiction Imperils Personal Futures and Highlights Growing Global Energy Crisis

By: Jason O’Neil

In this novel Brendan and Katie Flynn develop a program to reduce teen smartphone addiction called NOMOPHOBIA, No More Fear of Losing a Smartphone. In America, there are over 300 million smartphones, literally mobile supercomputers running thousands of mesmerizing applications and services. The youth access their devices for over 4-hours a day. The smartphone becomes a distraction from the personal learning process both at home and at school. These services require huge “Crypto Farms” or technology parks filled with hundreds of servers which consume megawatts of power and billions of gallons of water for cooling. This new requirement for electricity and water has caught the government and utilities by surprise with plants being closed and no replacements planned or funded resulting in the inevitable brownouts and blackouts. With their family friend, Prince Latif of Dubai, huge Aquaclippers are converted into teaching clinics for one-week courses to wean the most capable anxious and depressed high school students off of their smartphones. The experience is life-changing for students in America. So, the new entity goes global with its twin-goals to save the youth and broadcast the need for new electricity plants and reservoirs. Because of its potential to reduce global conflicts by states seeking power and/or water, the founders are awarded the Noble Peace Prize.

The Baseball Codes

Beanballs, Sign Stealing, and Bench-Clearing Brawls: The Unwritten Rules of America's Pastime

By: Jason Turbow,Michael Duca

An insider’s look at baseball’s unwritten rules, explained with examples from the game’s most fascinating characters and wildest historical moments. Everyone knows that baseball is a game of intricate regulations, but it turns out to be even more complicated than we realize. All aspects of baseball—hitting, pitching, and baserunning—are affected by the Code, a set of unwritten rules that governs the Major League game. Some of these rules are openly discussed (don’t steal a base with a big lead late in the game), while others are known only to a minority of players (don’t cross between the catcher and the pitcher on the way to the batter’s box). In The Baseball Codes, old-timers and all-time greats share their insights into the game’s most hallowed—and least known—traditions. For the learned and the casual baseball fan alike, the result is illuminating and thoroughly entertaining. At the heart of this book are incredible and often hilarious stories involving national heroes (like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays) and notorious headhunters (like Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale) in a century-long series of confrontations over respect, honor, and the soul of the game. With The Baseball Codes, we see for the first time the game as it’s actually played, through the eyes of the players on the field. With rollicking stories from the past and new perspectives on baseball’s informal rulebook, The Baseball Codes is a must for every fan.

Escape from La-La Land

Cyber Couple Helps America Defeat Socialism

By: Jason O’Neil

In this novel, two young adults have graduated from college, are out of work and exist in their parent’s basements. Welfare checks from a growing Socialist government have the potential of turning them into permanent wards of the state. As a result of monthly checks, they are not too eager to leave the comfort of the home with all of the videogames in their La-La Land. A father, Murray Hill, was raised to work hard within the free-enterprise democracy known as America. He buys a tiny house and parks it in his backyard as a new residence for his daughter. It comes complete with a Media Lab for use in job searches. The search convinces Toni and her boyfriend to get cyber science certificates to make themselves more employable. They interview with IBM and become project scientists with top secret clearances for their first assignment at the submarine base in Kingsbay, Georgia. The tiny house rolls south as the couple’s life really begins. At the same time, China has developed at huge cyber campus at the former US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Here, legions of Chinese cyber students trained in America develop a broadcast signal to bring down America’s computers and communications systems on the East Coast in order to complete their takeover of land of the Bald Eagle. Toni and Cory lead two cyber teams which successfully develops and deploys Operation Fog Horn which neutralizes a Chinese armada of ships broadcasting the control signals. The success of this operation allows the Cyber Boss, Admiral Wright, to orchestrate a successful coup removing the Socialist government. The couple then helps lead a series of actions to dramatically reduce the size of the government in order to create a federal structure in concert with the Constitution. The novel ends with the couple reflecting upon the role of the tiny house in their escape from La-La Land to help America once again become a beacon of freedom.

By: Jason O’Neil

In this novel an American businessman and his wife apply Artificial Intelligence and the Watson supercomputer to develop a multi-function drone designed to eliminate drug smugglers and terrorists. These NOVAWASPs combine to create intelligent, deadly NOVASWARMs, The couple designs, builds and tests these man-made insects over Florida’s Everglades. The NOVAWASP is a small 3-foot weapon which carries cameras, sensors and deadly payloads. The swarm is smart enough to let missiles pass by harmlessly. The DoD’s Advanced Projects Research Agency helps qualify the drone for nationally-important missions. NOVASWASPs are parachuted out of a C-130 aircraft to descend to the required mission altitude. Initial missions destroy Fentanyl laboratories in northern Mexico. President Aurum is persuaded to use the new weapon to stop Iran from exporting and supporting terrorism in the Middle East. In only one mission, two aircraft drop NOVASWARMs to destroy the country’s warmaking capability. The NOVAWASPs can even crash into jet canopies, explode and render them useless. A swarm destroys the power plant servicing a nuclear bomb development facility. In the end, an interim President, an Iranian-American, oversees the implementation of a democracy modelled after the U.S. Constitution. A New Persia will build upon its glorious past.

Working with widowers can be one of the most challenging parts of a therapist’s career. Despite the need for better research and professional guidance, therapists have often been left alone to confront a group struggling with high rates of suicide, mortality, physical health problems, and depression. Counseling Widowers builds from the latest developments in grief research and men’s studies to bridge the gap between counseling practice and the needs of bereaved men. In these pages, therapists will find tools for adjusting their clinical strategies to work more effectively with these men. Through a more empathic understanding of widowers, therapists can help them build from their strengths as they face the loss of their partner.

Understanding Female Offenders

Psychopathy, Criminal Behavior, Assessment, and Treatment

By: Jason M. Smith,Carl B. Gacono,Ted B. Cunliffe

According to the Sentencing Project, between 1980 and 2017, the number of incarcerated women increased by more than 750%, rising from a total of 26,378 in 1980 to 225,060 in 2017 and the number continues to rise. Dealing with incarcerated women and specifically psychopathic women can be challenging. Understanding Female Offenders: Psychopathy, Criminal Behavior, Assessment, and Treatment provides readers with a better conceptualization of the psychopathic/non-psychopathic female. This includes better ways of interviewing, assessing, and treating these women, and clinical caveats with case examples to assist with clinical applications. This is the only comprehensive resource that provides specific knowledge about female offenders, particularly on female psychopathy and assessment. - Describes the differences between ASPD and psychopathic women and men - Presents PCL-R, Rorschach, and PAI data on female offenders, female psychopaths, and female sex offenders - Reviews the current literature on female psychopathy studies - Provides in-depth female offender case studies - Discusses common biases in diagnosing, treating, and assessing in forensic settings with female offenders

The Rise of Victimhood Culture

Microaggressions, Safe Spaces, and the New Culture Wars

By: Bradley Campbell,Jason Manning

The Rise of Victimhood Culture offers a framework for understanding recent moral conflicts at U.S. universities, which have bled into society at large. These are not the familiar clashes between liberals and conservatives or the religious and the secular: instead, they are clashes between a new moral culture—victimhood culture—and a more traditional culture of dignity. Even as students increasingly demand trigger warnings and “safe spaces,” many young people are quick to police the words and deeds of others, who in turn claim that political correctness has run amok. Interestingly, members of both camps often consider themselves victims of the other. In tracking the rise of victimhood culture, Bradley Campbell and Jason Manning help to decode an often dizzying cultural milieu, from campus riots over conservative speakers and debates around free speech to the election of Donald Trump.

Ritual, Women, and Philippi

Reimagining the Early Philippian Community

By: Jason T. Lamoreaux

As one surveys the scholarship on the canonical letter to the Philippians, one notices the lack of attention to women within many scholars' analyses. To a certain extent, this lack of attention exists because ancient texts often leave out information about women. Using ritual studies, archaeology, and textual evidence, this work brings life to the ritual lives of ancient Philippian women in their own cultural context. The discipline of ritual studies provides new questions that shed more specific light on the lives of women in this fledgling Jesus group. Therefore, ritual studies brings clarity to early Philippian women's reception of the letter. Furthermore, this ritual background helps modern readers visualize a more diverse community of Jesus followers in Philippi and provides a clearer picture of the struggles this nascent Jesus community was experiencing.

Applications of Group Analysis for the Twenty-First Century

Applications

By: Jason Maratos

The Institute of Group Analysis (IGA) celebrates forty years from its foundation with the publication of these two volumes. The first volume aims to publicise the foundations of group analysis (with the earliest papers of Foulkes) as well as the most influential theoretical contributions by pillars of modern group analysis, such as Pines, Brown, and Hopper. The reader will be able to see the development of Group Analysis, form an opinion about the trajectory that it follows, and judge which way the tradition of openness and creative integration of diverse theoretical contributions will lead in the twenty-first century. The second volume focuses on the numerous fields of work that use group analytic principles. Workers in the field of forensic psychotherapy would now consider a great omission if they did not use some form of group analytic intervention, as would professionals dealing with those who manifest personality disorders or different age groups, such as adolescents. Group analysis has made significant contribution to organisational work, to feminism and anti-discrimination (including anti-racism) as well as in education.

Elite Competition and Written Law in Early Greece

By: Jason Hawke

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Writing Authority

Elite Competition and Written Law in Early Greece

By: Jason Hawke

In Writing Authority, Hawke argues that the rapidly changing political and economic landscape of early Greece prompted elites to begin committing laws to written form. The emergence of the polis and its institutions, the demographic growth of Greece, the development of market forces, and the commoditization of wealth all presented new challenges and difficulties for the Greeks of the eighth and seventh centuries B.C.E. Hawke contends that no one felt the attendant anxieties of these changes more acutely than the leading members of early Greek communities—they confronted regulating their intense competition for status and power in an environment where traditional sources of authority, such as Homeric epic, offered no ready solutions for problems arising from the transformation of Greek society. Greek elites enshrined in writing rules aimed at stabilizing their relationships with one another and, by extension, their communities. Challenging both established and emerging orthodoxies about the appearance of written law in ancient Greece, Writing Authority questions the importance of a popular or communal role in the earliest Greek legislation. Approaches from anthropology, legal studies, and sociology are used to situate the emergence of Greek law in the broader context of Greek legal culture in the eighth through early sixth centuries B.C.E. as Hawke describes in rich detail the legal culture of Homer's world, considers the impact of literacy on Greek attitudes about law and authority and its practical consequences for the governing of the Greek polis, and examines the effects of the tumultuous changes in Archaic Greece on the leading members of Greek communities. The result is a compelling monograph that provides an exhaustive and nuanced history of earliest Greek law and the motivations of the elites that brought it into being. It will be of interest to scholars of Greek history, classicists, and early legal historians.

Climate Change

The Science of Global Warming and Our Energy Future

By: Jason Smerdon

This second edition of Climate Change is an accessible and comprehensive guide to the science behind global warming. Exquisitely illustrated, the text is geared toward students at a variety of levels. Edmond A. Mathez and Jason E. Smerdon provide a broad, informative introduction to the science that underlies our understanding of the climate system and the effects of human activity on the warming of our planet. Mathez and Smerdon describe the roles that the atmosphere and ocean play in our climate, introduce the concept of radiation balance, and explain climate changes that occurred in the past. They also detail the human activities that influence the climate, such as greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions and deforestation, as well as the effects of natural phenomena.

Norma Shearer, the Oscar Winner and the protagonist, had been a vampire. Mickey King Kong, the world’s biggest monster, had been turned into a vampire, by Norma Shearer. The earth had been destroyed, and so had all the other celestial bodies, except the moon, which turned to ice. Most beings don’t have a mouth, fangs, teeth, or beak.

Shock Value

How a Few Eccentric Outsiders Gave Us Nightmares, Conquered Hollywood, and Inven ted Modern Horror

By: Jason Zinoman

In the dark underbelly of 1970s cinema, an unlikely group of directors rewrote the rules of horror, breathing new life into the genre and captivating audiences like never before Much has been written about the storied New Hollywood of the 1970s, but while Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorcese were producing their first classic movies, a parallel universe of directors gave birth to the modern horror film. Shock Value tells the unlikely story of how directors like Wes Craven, Roman Polanski, and John Carpenter revolutionized the genre, plumbing their deepest anxieties to bring a gritty realism and political edge to their craft. From Rosemary’s Baby to Halloween, the films they unleashed on the world created a template for horror that has been relentlessly imitated but rarely matched. Based on unprecedented access to the genre’s major players, this is an enormously entertaining account of a hugely influential golden age in American film.

Inequality and Battlefield Performance in Modern War

Divided Armies

Inequality and Battlefield Performance in Modern War

By: Jason Lyall

How do armies fight and what makes them victorious on the modern battlefield? In Divided Armies, Jason Lyall challenges long-standing answers to this classic question by linking the fate of armies to their levels of inequality. Introducing the concept of military inequality, Lyall demonstrates how a state's prewar choices about the citizenship status of ethnic groups within its population determine subsequent battlefield performance. Treating certain ethnic groups as second-class citizens, either by subjecting them to state-sanctioned discrimination or, worse, violence, undermines interethnic trust, fuels grievances, and leads victimized soldiers to subvert military authorities once war begins. The higher an army's inequality, Lyall finds, the greater its rates of desertion, side-switching, casualties, and use of coercion to force soldiers to fight. In a sweeping historical investigation, Lyall draws on Project Mars, a new dataset of 250 conventional wars fought since 1800, to test this argument. Project Mars breaks with prior efforts by including overlooked non-Western wars while cataloguing new patterns of inequality and wartime conduct across hundreds of belligerents. Combining historical comparisons and statistical analysis, Lyall also marshals evidence from nine wars, ranging from the Eastern Fronts of World Wars I and II to less familiar wars in Africa and Central Asia, to illustrate inequality's effects. Sounding the alarm on the dangers of inequality for battlefield performance, Divided Armies offers important lessons about warfare over the past two centuries—and for wars still to come.
