Growing with America—Colonial Roots

By: Joseph Fox

Our Fox ancestry was covered in my earlier book, Growing with America: The Fox Family of Philadelphia. Now we turn to Ruth Martins side of the family. She had colonial ancestors in New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia with names such as Alden, Wolcott, Lay, Carbery, Hite, Manning, Blair, Warfield, Dorsey, and Neale. They all converged on our nations capital when it was first being built. Rather than repeat what others have done, this book attempts to bring many of these ancestors to life by examining, in some detail, their timeline and life circumstances. A personal letter, a detail in a will, or even some good DNA detective work can move that curtain hiding a vista of the past. I wanted to try to understand the challenges these people were facing, so different from today but still the same human responses at play. I have not hesitated to speculate as long as this is truly identified as speculation. It became evident that there were a number of overriding themes I wanted to cover: (1) the convergence of many diverse traditions and religions, (2) some personal stories that interested me, including some memoirs never before published, (3) discoveries resulting from genetic testing, (4) the familys interaction with slavery and the Civil War, and (5) recognition of earlier family research, setting the record straight where necessary. With the advent of full genome testing, it became possible to trace relationships in all branches of the familynot just the Fox male line or the all-female line. While quite haphazard in going back this far, this did tend to confirm what the books said about mothers family. Most significantly, however, it led to contacts with a few very knowledgeable people and to some fascinating new speculations. In a way, this is a sequel to the earlier book since more Fox family information has been uncovered both via genetic testing and by personal contact.

Past and Present of Alameda County

By: Joseph Eugene Baker

The county was formed on March 25, 1853, from a large portion of Contra Costa County and a smaller portion of Santa Clara County. Much of what is now considered an intensively urban region, with major cities, was developed as a trolley car suburb of San Francisco in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The historical progression from Native American tribal lands to Spanish, then Mexican ranches, then to farms, ranches, and orchards, then multiple city centers and suburbs, is shared with the adjacent and closely associated Contra Costa County. This detailed narrative gives an in-depth view of the county's history.

The Longevity Factor

How Resveratrol and Red Wine Activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life

By: Joseph Maroon

A groundbreaking examination of new scientific research that holds the secret to weight loss, increased strength, endurance, memory, and a healthier, longer life In The Longevity Factor, noted neuroscientist and surgeon Joseph Maroon, M.D., offers the definitive look at recent scientific breakthroughs identifying a group of natural substances -- including the much-publicized molecule resveratrol -- that can actually activate a specific set of genes in humans that promote a longer, healthier life. These substances, which make red wine, dark chocolate, and green tea good for us, appear to stave off a wide array of age-related diseases and keep us feeling young and vital. Resveratrol is the centerpiece of headline-making research being conducted at the Harvard Medical School and elsewhere. Only recently, however, have scientists discovered how to isolate resveratrol and concentrate it into an affordable and safe supplement. Already, more than 200 supplements featuring resveratrol have flooded the market, and there are countless more on the way. But which ones work best? What is a consumer to look for on the label? Since resveratrol is a natural substance, can you get enough of it through diet alone, or should you combine diet with a supplement? And what lies on the horizon from the pharmaceutical industry? All those questions and many more are answered in this immensely informative and practical book. Joseph Maroon offers the first-ever inside look at the amazing research that has led to the discovery of resveratrol and similar substances with the miraculous ability to activate our own longevity genes. He also offers his own diet plan and sound, reader-friendly advice for living a longer, healthier, and more balanced life with or without supplements. The Longevity Factor promises to be the authoritative source for everyone who wants to know more about how we can shift from the current paradigm of aging to a disease-free golden age of health, longevity, and fitness.

Counselor Preparation 1999-2001

Programs, Faculty, Trends

By: Joseph W. Hollis

Now in its tenth edition, this classic reference contains vital information in three major areas: Detailed information on each of more than 500 graduate level departments with more than 1000 counselor preparation programs; Statistical treatment with interpretations of composite national research on the six largest types of entry level (master's and sixth year) and four doctoral level counseling programs; trends based on comparison of 1999 data with longitudinal data collected periodically since 1970. New in this tenth edition is a chapter on 'The Road to Professionalism which emphasizes the individual's need to gain strong backgrounds for certification and other programs. As in previous editions, all master's and doctoral level counselor and/or therapist preparation programs in the U.S. are listed, including community, marriage/family, mental health, pastoral, gerontological, rehabilitation, school, career, and student affairs counseling. Also noted are programs accredited by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, American Association of Pastoral Counselors, Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, and Council on Rehabilitation Education - plus it identifies the location of Chi Sigma Iota (Counseling Society International) chapters.In addition to listing faculty by name, degree, title, and time devoted to each program, the text gives detailed information for each separate program: degree offered; accreditation held (if any); departmental addresses and telephone numbers; admission and graduation requirements; number of students admitted and graduating yearly; experiential clock hours; placement of graduates; and the uniqueness within the program. Courses to be added or dropped by counseling departments are listed, as are other anticipated changes within departments. Using a statistical treatment of the aforementioned data, the book also interprets the status and probable trends of preparation programs within each counseling specialty. Also considered are current emphases in the counseling field, and in what ways these are being reflected within counselor education settings.

The Politics of Heaven

Women, Gender, and Empire in the Study of Paul

By: Joseph A. Marchal

Was Paul an opponent of imperialism or a participant in the patriarchal social codes of his day? Joseph A. Marchal moves beyond this too-simple dichotomy to examine the language of power and obedience, ethnicity, and gender in Paul's letters.

Homeschooling in America

Capturing and Assessing the Movement

By: Joseph Murphy

This revealing and balanced portrait of homeschooling today provides a full history of the movement, demographic insights, and extensive research on how homeschooled children fare in the United States. Delving into a movement that impacts more students nationwide than the entire charter school movement, this book explores: • The history of homeschooling in America • How this movement has grown in credibility and enrollment exponentially • The current state of homeschooling, including questions about who gets homeschooled, why, and what is the success—academically and in life—of students who are homeschooled • The impact of homeschooling on the student and on American society In 2010, more than two million students were homeschooled. In the most extensive survey and analysis of research on homeschooling, spanning the birth of the movement in the 1970s to today, Homeschooling in America shines a light on one of the most important yet least understood social movements of the last forty years and explores what it means for education today.

A Social History of Christian Origins

The Rejected Jesus

By: Simon J. Joseph

A Social History of Christian Origins explores how the theme of the Jewish rejection of Jesus – embedded in Paul’s letters and the New Testament Gospels – represents the ethnic, social, cultural, and theological conflicts that facilitated the construction of Christian identity. Readers of this book will gain a thorough understanding of how a central theme of early Christianity – the Jewish rejection of Jesus – facilitated the emergence of Christian anti-Judaism as well as the complex and multi-faceted representations of Jesus in the Gospels of the New Testament. This study systematically analyses the theme of social rejection in the Jesus tradition by surveying its historical and chronological development. Employing the social-psychological study of social rejection, social identity theory, and social memory theory, Joseph sheds new light on the inter-relationships between myth, history, and memory in the study of Christian origins and the contemporary (re)construction of the historical Jesus. A Social History of Christian Origins is primarily intended for academic specialists and students in ancient history, biblical studies, New Testament studies, Religious Studies, Classics, as well as the general reader interested in the beginnings of Christianity.

Making Black Girls Count in Math Education

A Black Feminist Vision for Transformative Teaching

By: Nicole M. Joseph

Making Black Girls Count in Math Education explores the experiences of Black girls and women in mathematics from preschool to graduate school, deftly probing race and gender inequity in STEM fields. Nicole M. Joseph investigates factors that contribute to the glaring underrepresentation of Black female students in the mathematics pipeline. Joseph’s unflinching account calls attention to educational structures and practices that contribute to race- and gender-based stratification in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The author also disentangles a complex network of historical and sociopolitical elements that influence the perception and experiences of Black girls and women both inside and outside of mathematics education. In her clear-eyed assessment of the intersectional difficulties facing this marginalized group, Joseph offers a critical view of the existing mathematics education research, practice, and policies that have neglected Black girls and women; confronts the problematic history of mathematics education policy; and considers imbalances in the current teacher workforce in US mathematics programs. She then provides practical, actionable suggestions for reform. Joseph invites students, families, and educators, as well as researchers, policy makers, and other relevant stakeholders to disrupt systems, structures, and ideologies. She calls for an end to racism and sexism in many areas of mathematics education, including learning environments, curriculum design and implementation, and testing and assessments. An essential read for anyone concerned about supporting the mathematical learning and development of Black girls and women, this work advocates for coalition-building so that greater, more equitable opportunities for learning and engagement may be offered to Black female students.

Landscape of Cybersecurity Threats and Forensic Inquiry

By: Joseph O. Esin

Cybersecurity threats are not isolated occurrences and must be recognized as global operations requiring collaborative measures to prepare cyber graduates and organizations personnel on the high impact of cybercrimes and the awareness, understanding, and obligation to secure, control, and protect the organizations vital data and information and sharing them on social media sites. Most of my colleagues in the academic world argue in support of the premises of exempting high school students from cybersecurity education. However, utmost academic populations, the one I subscribe to, support the implementation of cybersecurity training sessions across entire academic enterprises, including high school, college, and university educational programs. Collaborative cyber education beginning from high school, college, and university settings will control and eliminate the proliferation of cybersecurity attacks, cyber threats, identity theft, electronic fraud, rapid pace of cyber-attacks, and support job opportunities for aspirants against cybersecurity threats on innocent and vulnerable citizens across the globe.
