Connecting Creativity and Motivation Research with End Users

Lab to Learner

By: Fredricka Reisman,Larry Keiser,Jeff Westphal,Penny Hammrich

It is often difficult to translate the findings of creativity and motivation researchers into language or activities that benefit end users. This is the problem driving the need for translational research, and this book fills the gap. It translates creativity and motivation research into language that teachers and their students, corporate trainers and their employees, and students' families or caregivers can immediately understand. Instructional modules and lesson plans provide readers with opportunities to network, give feedback, suggest new research needs, and access free assessments. Additional resources and opportunities for readers are available through the Freddie Reisman Center for Translational Research in Creativity and Motivation.

Stones

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Stones

By: Larry D. Powell

Stones is a chronologically composed collection of mostly humorous, often self-deprecating, bite-sized anecdotes selected from a broad spectrum of experiences extending across the author's 45 years in pastoral ministry. The reader will be pleased to discover that these brief, self-contained narratives provide fresh, first person, real life experiences featuring a wide variety of personalities, attitudes, perceptions, prejudices, and expectations ... most of which will catch you by surprise. Serendipitous discoveries are sometimes even more delightful when they first appear camouflaged as something else; such as being pulled over by an Arkansas State Trooper on a remote mountain highway, or fishing without benefit of bait or tackle in the shallows of a Georgia river, or being overly anxious for worshippers to exit the sanctuary on an island in the Irish Sea, or unknowingly having coffee with the president of the World Bank, or being handed a three-battery flashlight by an airplane pilot before take-off. If you enjoy anecdotal reading, when the twists and turns are not always predictable, you will relish this opportunity to look over the author's shoulder as he views his ministry in the rear view mirror.

The Singing Turk

Ottoman Power and Operatic Emotions on the European Stage from the Siege of Vienna to the Age of Napoleon

By: Larry Wolff

While European powers were at war with the Ottoman Empire for much of the eighteenth century, European opera houses were staging operas featuring singing sultans and pashas surrounded by their musical courts and harems. Mozart wrote The Abduction from the Seraglio. Rossini created a series of works, including The Italian Girl in Algiers. And these are only the best known of a vast repertory. This book explores how these representations of the Muslim Ottoman Empire, the great nemesis of Christian Europe, became so popular in the opera house and what they illustrate about European–Ottoman international relations. After Christian armies defeated the Ottomans at Vienna in 1683, the Turks no longer seemed as threatening. Europeans increasingly understood that Turkish issues were also European issues, and the political absolutism of the sultan in Istanbul was relevant for thinking about politics in Europe, from the reign of Louis XIV to the age of Napoleon. While Christian European composers and publics recognized that Muslim Turks were, to some degree, different from themselves, this difference was sometimes seen as a matter of exotic costume and setting. The singing Turks of the stage expressed strong political perspectives and human emotions that European audiences could recognize as their own.

Drugs, Crime, and Justice

Contemporary Perspectives, Third Edition

By: Larry K. Gaines,Janine Kremling

The twenty-six articles in this edited volume provide perspective on the interrelated issues surrounding the use of drugs in society. Although drugs have long been a social problem, the importance of the issue—and the involvement of the criminal justice system—have varied across time. Public concern has typically centered on illegal drugs, but the drug issue today is even more complex given the impact of prescription drugs. Exaggeration has been a constant theme in the history of public policy on drugs, usually playing on public fear to demonize specific drugs and users. Some drugs are more dangerous than others. The variations in effects impact enforcement, prevention, and treatment. If we are going to criminalize drugs and drug usage, policies and penalties should be based on the relative dangerousness of a drug or class of drugs. Policies can reduce harm, create harm, or both. Our current drug policies attempt to reduce harm through law enforcement. We arrest anyone involved in drug activities under the premise of protecting society. These same policies, however, result in the incarceration of large numbers of people; they are expensive; they overburden the criminal justice system; and they have lasting consequences for those caught up in the drug war no matter how minor their offenses. Drug policies should be weighed carefully, implementing those that result in the least amount of harm to society. The editors have collected timely articles that provide perspective and a foundation for an informed approach to addressing problems associated with drug use.

Marketing Maximilian

The Visual Ideology of a Holy Roman Emperor

By: Larry Silver

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Marketing Maximilian

The Visual Ideology of a Holy Roman Emperor

By: Larry Silver

Long before the photo op, political rulers were manipulating visual imagery to cultivate their authority and spread their ideology. Born just decades after Gutenberg, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I (1459-1519) was, Larry Silver argues, the first ruler to exploit the propaganda power of printed images and text. Marketing Maximilian explores how Maximilian used illustrations and other visual arts to shape his image, achieve what Max Weber calls "the routinization of charisma," strengthen the power of the Hapsburg dynasty, and help establish the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A fascinating study of the self-fashioning of an early modern ruler who was as much image-maker as emperor, Marketing Maximilian shows why Maximilian remains one of the most remarkable, innovative, and self-aggrandizing royal art patrons in European history. Silver describes how Maximilian--lacking a real capital or court center, the ability to tax, and an easily manageable territory--undertook a vast and expensive visual-media campaign to forward his extravagant claims to imperial rank, noble blood, perfect virtues, and military success. To press these claims, Maximilian patronized and often personally supervised and collaborated with the best printers, craftsmen, and artists of his time (among them no less than Albrecht Dürer) to plan and produce illustrated books, medals, heralds, armor, and an ambitious tomb monument.

Correcting the Code

Inventing the Genetic Cure for the Human Body

By: Larry Thompson

When Dr. French Anderson, researcher and physician at the National Institutes of Health, assembled the team that injected a young girl from the suburbs of Cleveland with a special solution of white blood cells, he ushered in a brave new world of science and medicine. Those cells were genetically altered - or corrected - to produce a critical enzyme necessary to create a fully functioning immune system, which his young patient was born without. The age of human gene therapy had arrived. Along with it will come the molecular cures for cancers and heretofore incurable conditions such as cystic fibrosis, perhaps even AIDS." "Correcting the Code is the eminently readable and remarkable story of the handful of doctors and researchers who deeply believed they could break one of the last barriers in medicine: repairing human genes that cause illnesses. Even before Watson and Crick successfully modeled DNA, the idea of changing the genetic composition of humans had long been a scientific Holy Grail - despite the stain of eugenics and the public phobia of genetic engineering gone amok. Over the last twenty years, as the pace of research has accelerated, laboratories have entered a sort of race to claim the final breakthrough, to be the first to successfully treat a human patient. The story of that frenzied research contains the great scientific upheavals in the field of biology, including a new understanding of how specific molecules interact to compose living cells that make up the human body." "This is the riveting account of how a great scientific puzzle - finding a way to repair actual human molecules - was solved, of the intellectual and political milieu in which it occurred, and of the remarkable people who committed their lives to the task - Anderson, Michael Blaese, Ken Culver, Richard Mulligan, and others." "Author Larry Thompson makes the seemingly indecipherable world of genetic science understandable to the general reader. Furthermore, he unravels a dramatic story of inspired invention, frustrating dead ends, the clash of egos, the fits and starts of innovation that reveal how science is conducted in the real world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
