Maya Glyphs

The Verbs

By: Linda Schele

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The key to the study of the language and history of the Classic Maya (A.D. 293–900) is the verb. Maya Glyphs: The Verbs is a comprehensive study of the verb morphology and syntax of the Maya writing system. Linda Schele's summary of methodology makes available in a single place many important discoveries and approaches to the Maya language. Hers is the first sourcebook to include so broad a range of dates and to identify for the first time so many Maya rulers and events. The admirably lucid text provides an excellent introduction to Maya hieroglyphics for the beginner, and, for the experienced Mayanist, it offers a fascinating explanation of methodology, including paraphrasing, and important information about syntactical structures, special verbal constructions, and literary conventions. Schele's extensive catalog of known verbal phrases is useful for a variety of purposes. Because it is organized according to verbal affix patterns, it provides the only available source for the distribution of such patterns in the writing system. At the same time it registers the date of each event, its agent and patient (if recorded), the dedication date of the monument on which the glyphs occur, and a pictorial illustration, rather than a T-number transcription, of each example. Extensive notes treating problems of dating, interpretation, and dynastic information contain theories about the meaning and function of the events recorded in the Maya inscriptions.

Rural Tax Reform in China

Policy Processes and Institutional Change

By: Linda Chelan Li

This book charts the twists and turns in the change processes of a recent phase of an old practice in China: state extraction from the rural population. Using extensive interview data with local and central bureaucrats, Li's findings highlight the role of parallel developments and agency in the change process, as well as the prevalence of contingency and uncertainty. It also elegantly blends the narrative of the rural tax and administrative reforms with theoretical discussions to deepen our understanding of policy process and institutional change in 21st century China.

Ordered Liberty

Rights, Responsibilities, and Virtues

By: James E. Fleming,Linda C. McClain

Many have argued in recent years that the U.S. constitutional system exalts individual rights over responsibilities, virtues, and the common good. Answering the charges against liberal theories of rights, James Fleming and Linda McClain develop and defend a civic liberalism that takes responsibilities and virtues—as well as rights—seriously. They provide an account of ordered liberty that protects basic liberties stringently, but not absolutely, and permits government to encourage responsibility and inculcate civic virtues without sacrificing personal autonomy to collective determination. The battle over same-sex marriage is one of many current controversies the authors use to defend their understanding of the relationship among rights, responsibilities, and virtues. Against accusations that same-sex marriage severs the rights of marriage from responsible sexuality, procreation, and parenthood, they argue that same-sex couples seek the same rights, responsibilities, and goods of civil marriage that opposite-sex couples pursue. Securing their right to marry respects individual autonomy while also promoting moral goods and virtues. Other issues to which they apply their idea of civic liberalism include reproductive freedom, the proper roles and regulation of civil society and the family, the education of children, and clashes between First Amendment freedoms (of association and religion) and antidiscrimination law. Articulating common ground between liberalism and its critics, Fleming and McClain develop an account of responsibilities and virtues that appreciates the value of diversity in our morally pluralistic constitutional democracy.

The Science of Real-Time Data Capture

Self-Reports in Health Research

By: Arthur Stone,Saul Shiffman,Audie Atienza,Linda Nebeling

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has designated the topic of real-time data capture as an important and innovative research area. As such, the NCI sponsored a national meeting of distinguished research scientists to discuss the state of the science in this emerging and burgeoning field. This book reflects the findings of the conference and discusses the state of the science of real-time data capture and its application to health and cancer research. It provides a conceptual framework for minute-by-minute data capture- ecological momentary assessments (EMA)- and discusses health-related topics where these assessements have been applied. In addition, future directions in real-time data capture assessment, interventions, methodology, and technology are discussed. Despite the rapidly growing interest in the methodology of real-time data capture (e.g. journal special issues, widely attended conference presentations, etc.), to date no single book has focused solely on this topic. The volume will serve as an important resource for researchers, students, and government scientists interested in pursuing real-time health research, and will nicely complement our lists in epidemiology, public health, and oncology.

Seizures and Syndromes of onset in the Two First Years of Life

By: Solomon L. Moshé,J. Helen Cross,Julitta de Bellescize,Linda de Vries,Douglas Nordli,Federico Vigevano

A reference book on diagnosis, consequences and management of neonatal and infantile seizures There is a very high incidence of seizures during the first two years of life. This may reflect multiple etiologies depending on the circumstances under which seizures occur. They may have a benign cause but for others they may lead to more devastating consequences. This book provides new insights on how it is best to approach seizures and epilepsy in the first two years of life, to systematically create a blueprint upon which diagnostic and treatment decisions can be based. Ongoing efforts are to understand: - How seizures may occur in the developing brain? - What are their consequences? - Which biomarkers are being developed? - What are the effective treatments to promptly stop ongoing seizures and alter the course of epileptic encephalopathies? The data are highly reflecting the state of the art and also individualize for the particular milieu of the patient in taking into account both nature (i.e. genetics), and nurture (i.e. events that may interfere with normal development) and result in seizures and epilepsy.

A Fresh Start

Begin To Pray

By: Linda Johnson

If you have been physically abused, verbally abused, sexually abused, raped or things that you got into on your own then you are not alone. You may feel you’re alone and think no one else understands or cares, but there are those who do understand and do care. You have to make the decision within your heart, soul, and mind that you are not going to allow Satan to have the victory in your life because of past hurts and pain. You are a new creature in Christ, if you are a born again believer. So, let’s start fresh and begin to pray the prayers within this book and letting go of the past hurts and pain. You can’t go forward in the promises of God, if you choose to keep the past with you; forgive and let the past be just that “the past.” Don’t allow anyone to bring your past before you to cause guilt to come upon you. I pray for God’s strength in each one of our lives and speak the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.

Governance, commissioning and public health

By: Marks, Linda

Drawing on in-depth case studies across England, this book argues that governance and population health are inextricably linked. Using original research, it shows how these links can be illustrated at a local level through commissioning practice related to health and wellbeing. Exploring the impact of governance on decision- making, Governance, commissioning and public health analyses how principles, such as social justice, and governance arrangements, including standards and targets, influence local strategies and priorities for public health investment. In developing ‘public health governance’ as a critical concept, the study demonstrates the complexity of the governance landscape for public health and the leadership qualities required to negotiate it. This book is essential reading for students, academics, practitioners and policy-makers with an interest in governance and decision-making for public health.

Feminist Catholic Theological Ethics: Conversations in the World Church

Conversations in the World Church

By: Hogan, Linda ,Orobator, A.E.

The growing body of feminist literature in the late 20th and early 21st centuries demonstrates the phenomenal advances of feminist thought and movements in the context of church and society. Characteristic of this growth is the re-location of issues from the global North, and broadening of focus to include voices from the global South.
In the context of globalization new vistas and voices are emerging that trace new directions and seek to rephrase the central questions in the feminist discourse. This volume aims to highlight the changing face and color of feminist theological discourse, recognize innovative research in the field, and facilitate a global conversation among feminists engaged in theological ethics in the world church.

How Ten Global Cities Take On Homelessness

Innovations That Work

By: Linda Gibbs,Jay Bainbridge,Muzzy Rosenblatt,Tamiru Mammo

Creative solutions for global cities addressing their urgent homeless crises. This book takes on perhaps the most formidable issue facing metropolitan areas today: the large numbers of people experiencing homelessnes within cities. Four dedicated experts with first-hand experience profile ten cities—Bogota, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Houston, Nashville, New York City, Baltimore, Edmonton, Paris, and Athens—to explore ideas, strategies, successes, and failures. Together they bring an array of government, nonprofit, and academic perspectives to offer a truly global perspective. The authors answer essential questions about the nature and causes of homelessness and analyze how cities have used innovation and local political coordination to address this pervasive problem. Ten Global Cities will be an invaluable resource not only for students of policy and social work but for municipal, regional, and national policymakers; nonprofit service providers; community advocates and activists; and all citizens who want to collaborate for real change. These authors argue that homelessness is not an insurmountable social condition, and their examples show that cities and individuals working in coordination can lead the charge for better outcomes.

Called to Pray

Astounding Stories of Answered Prayer

By: Linda Evans Shepherd

Most of us have felt it: that unexplained prompting in our hearts to stop and pray for a friend, a loved one, or even a stranger. Sometimes we dismiss the feeling as a stray thought about friends, families, or situations. Sometimes we are even awakened from a deep sleep with an even deeper need to go to God in prayer. Where do those urges come from? Are they truly from God? And do those prayers have any effect on the one we're praying for? In Called to Pray, Linda Evans Shepherd shares dozens of inspiring true stories of people who have felt God's call to pray--and the astonishing results of those impromptu prayers. For those who wonder if prayer has any effect or doubt that God communicates with us personally, this heart-stirring book will amaze, inspire, and equip them to respond to those holy promptings.

Justice on the Brink

A Requiem for the Supreme Court

By: Linda Greenhouse

The gripping story of the Supreme Court’s transformation from a measured institution of law and justice into a highly politicized body dominated by a right-wing supermajority, told through the dramatic lens of its most transformative year, by the Pulitzer Prize–winning law columnist for The New York Times—with a new preface by the author “A dazzling feat . . . meaty, often scintillating and sometimes scary . . . Greenhouse is a virtuoso of SCOTUS analysis.”—The Washington Post In Justice on the Brink, legendary journalist Linda Greenhouse gives us unique insight into a court under stress, providing the context and brilliant analysis readers of her work in The New York Times have come to expect. In a page-turning narrative, she recounts the twelve months when the court turned its back on its legacy and traditions, abandoning any effort to stay above and separate from politics. With remarkable clarity and deep institutional knowledge, Greenhouse shows the seeds being planted for the court’s eventual overturning of Roe v. Wade, expansion of access to guns, and unprecedented elevation of religious rights in American society. Both a chronicle and a requiem, Justice on the Brink depicts the struggle for the soul of the Supreme Court, and points to the future that awaits all of us.

Chemical Injury and the Courts

A Litigation Guide for Clients and Their Attorneys

By: Linda Price King

A chemical injury can happen at any time to anyone, regardless of age, background, or economic status. It can happen either on the job or in the home, and can affect many members of a community. Such an injury often does not show up immediately but develops over a long period. Often, however, sufferers from chemical exposure are victimized not only by the chemicals but also by a legal system that seems to require complicated and expensive court action. This helpful guide to chemical-injury litigation offers practical strategies that clients and their attorneys can use to better serve their cases. Presenting a clear blueprint of client rights and responsibilities, the book will improve the standard of legal services for both individuals and communities. The guide addresses in detail several important areas of chemical injury and the legal process: defining problems and solutions; examining available resources; cultivating a knowledge of chemical-related diseases and injuries; and facilitating effective attorney-client relationships and case strategies. Leading attorneys contribute case studies and essays offering perspectives on chemical injury and the law.

Policy Practice for Social Workers

An Ethic of Care Approach

By: Linda K Cummins,Katharine V Byers,Laura Pedrick

The second edition of Policy Practice for Social Workers expands the concept of policy practice in social work settings and illustrates how significant policy change may be achieved at a local, community, state, and national level. Guided by an ethic of care approach, this textbook is intended to raise readers’ awareness about policy practice and its fundamental relationship with the aims of the social work profession, offers a foundation for key skill development, and contextualizes the work of policy practitioners in the larger political-economic settings in which they work. This textbook is divided into two parts. First, readers will expand their understanding of policy practice, its beginnings and development over the course of social welfare history, and the political, economic, and social drivers that affect policy decisions and undergird the U.S. political system. Readers will also learn about the ethic of care framework and the value-based lens it contributes to the policymaking process. Later, in the book’s second part, readers will explore the essential skills and values in policy work. Detailed coverage and vivid examples offer valuable insight into specific advocacy skills including lobbying, community organizing, mobilizing advocacy publics, coalition building, campaigning, problem analysis, policy analysis, and policy evaluation. Within its comprehensive overview of policy practice and advocacy, the new edition of this text extols a value-laden perspective to identify and assess unmet needs and promote a more socially just environment for all. Combining these dual aims, Policy Practice for Social Workers is an excellent cornerstone of policy and policy work for undergraduate and graduate students in social work.

The Burden of Prejudice

By: Linda Rockwell Dalman

Adelle could not tolerate her eldest daughter. This created a feeling of antipathy between Nina Faye and her sisters. Sadly, Adelle had no concept of the damage she created among her daughters. She suffered from depression, a disease that was misunderstood in her time. She spent much of her time in bed or in her daydreams. In Arkansas, Whites were against Blacks; the wealthy looked down on the poor; and the unemployed competed with the employed for the few available jobs. The South was bitter toward the North even though the War of Aggression had been over for more than sixty years. The Southern economy was still struggling from the Great Depression when CL was offered a job in the prosperous state of Michigan. He jumped at the chance. In Michigan, Nina Faye was surprised to find that the North harbored hostilities against the South from the Civil War. She found it hard to believe. After all, the Yankees invaded their land and destroyed their economy and their way of life. Northerners had their own prejudices. The religious judged the heathens. The rich looked down on the poor, and the local citizens held newcomers in contempt, especially white trash from the Deep South. Nina Faye and her siblings suffered much cruelty from the locals. They were judged for how they looked, how they talked, their poverty, and even their names. CL had never questioned the ideology of the South. It was all he’d ever known. But when he was awakened to the cruel prejudice toward his daughter, he began to question these ideals. Is it possible to change lifelong beliefs? This is the story of how hard times can change an outcast into a person of integrity, compassion, and forgiveness.

The Steel Seraglio

By: Mike Carey,Linda Carey,Louise Carey

“A confident One Thousand and One Nights for our present . . . Furious pop entertainment—full of sex, passion, violence, and magic.” —Slant magazine This is the story of the legendary City of Women, told through the tales of those who founded it, championed it, and made it flourish. When the city of Bessa undergoes a violent coup, its lazy, laissez-faire ruler, Bokhari Al-Bokhari, is replaced by the religious zealot Hakkim Mehdad. With little use for the pleasures of the flesh, Hakkim sends his predecessor’s 365 concubines to a neighboring sultan as a gift. But when the new sultan discovers the concubines are harboring Al-Bokhari’s youngest son—a child who might grow up to challenge his rule—he repents of his mercy and sends his soldiers to slaughter the seraglio down to the last woman and child. What he doesn’t count on is a concubine trained in the art of murder—or the courage and fortitude of the women who will rise up with her to forge their own city out of the unforgiving desert. It’s an undertaking beset with challenges: hunger and thirst, Hakkim’s relentless hate, and the struggle to make a place for themselves in a world determined to underestimate and undermine them. Through a mosaic of voices and tales, we learn of the women’s miraculous rise, their time of prosperity—and how they carried with them the seed of their own destruction. “A thrilling tale.” —Publishers Weekly “A masterful, engaging and utterly fascinating story by three wonderful writers.” —SFRevu.com “The Steel Seraglio brings its alternate world of struggle, politics and magic very much to life.” —Locus

Caroline Bartlett Crane and Progressive Reform

Caroline Bartlett Crane and Progressive Reform

Social Housekeeping As Sociology

By: Linda J. Rynbrandt

Caroline Bartlett Crane’s robust vision of women’s work and her national impact as America’s Housekeeper highlights the gendered nature of being a sociologist, a woman, and doing sociology. Contemporary sociologists are disconnected from their female predecessors. Like Sisyphus, each generation of sociologists is condemned to push the boulder of women’s knowledge and experience back to the top of the patriarchal mountain of the discipline. Although women in sociology like Caroline Bartlett Crane, the subject of this book, have been brilliant social analysts and powerful public figures for over a century, their work is repeatedly ignored, forgotten, and lost. I hope that we can stop rolling this boulder up the mountain of male ignorance and control and see the world and new horizon from the mountaintop. Linda Rynbrandt’s book helps anchor that boulder by analyzing sociology from a new location. Rynbrandt’s perspective examines sociology through the work and life of Caroline Bartlett Crane, historical analysis, the political economy of the home, the gendered landscape of the Progressive Era, and feminist thought. Rynbrandt initiates this series on Women and Sociological Theory with an exciting subject and an innovative perspective connecting the past, present, and future.

Something's Got to Give

Balancing Work, Childcare and Eldercare

By: Linda Duxbury,Chris Higgins

A perfect storm of factors are brewing that will redefine dependent care in the coming decades. Delayed marriage and parenthood, longer life-spans, lower birthrates, and the health policy shift to informal caregiving have drastically increased the number of employees whose mental and physical health suffers due to an inability to balance work, childcare, and eldercare. Employers also feel the pinch as this inability to balance a myriad of demands is negatively impacting their bottom line. Something’s Got to Give is a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced by employees and employers as they try to respond to this dramatic demographic change. Linda Duxbury and Christopher Higgins utilize an original and rich data set–gathered from 25,000 Canadians who are employed full time in public, private, and not-for-profit organizations--to demonstrate the urgent need for workplace and policy reforms and support for employed caregivers. The authors’ timely work provides practical advice to managers and policy-makers about how to mitigate the effects of employee work-life conflict, retain talent, and improve employee engagement and productivity. Business and labour leaders as well as employees who truly care about their careers and industries can’t afford to ignore the solutions that Something’s Got to Give thoughtfully provides.

When All That's Left of Me Is Love

A Daughter's Story of Letting Go

By: Linda Campanella

When All That's Left of Me Is Love is an intensely personal story about one family's determination to enjoy life while anticipating death. Linda Campanella's emotional account of her last year with her mother, Nancy Sachsse, wrote itself on the pages of her mind as she lay awake unable to sleep in the days and weeks following Nan's death one year and one day after a diagnosis of terminal cancer. It is a heartwarming memoir filled with insights and inspirations that will help anyone jolted into confronting the inevitability and sudden imminence of death. Join the author as she reconstructs and relives a year of living while dying and, in the process, comes to terms with the pain and permanence of her loss. When All That's Left of Me Is Love is indeed a sad story born of death, but it is above all an uplifting portrait of living, loving, believing, and letting go. It is a celebration of the special bond between mothers and daughters, a touching love story, a spiritual journey, a poetry lesson, and even a case for happy hour. This story of a daughter's undying love for her dying mother will move and inspire not only those who face or fear death but also those who love and embrace life. 'This book is truly a testament of love, as the title suggests. It is about love refined and deepened by grief and gratitude. It is a tribute to a mother who loved with her last breath and beyond. It is the story of a daughter who gives herself away through the gift of her pen.' -Sharon G. Thornton, Ph.D., Professor of Pastoral Theology at Andover Newton Theological School

The Place of Families

Fostering Capacity, Equality, and Responsibility

By: Linda C. McClain

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Place of Families

Fostering Capacity, Equality, and Responsibility

By: Linda C. McClain

In this bold new book, Linda McClain offers a liberal and feminist theory of the relationships between family life and politics--a topic dominated by conservative thinkers. McClain agrees that stable family lives are vital to forming persons into capable, responsible, self-governing citizens. But what are the public values at stake when we think about families, and what sorts of families should government recognize and promote? Arguing that family life helps create the virtues and character required for citizenship, McClain shows that the connection between family self-government and democratic self-government does not require the deep-laid gender inequality that has historically accompanied it. Examining controversial issues in family law and policy--among them, the governmental promotion of heterosexual marriage and the denial of marriage to same-sex couples, the regulation of family life through welfare policy, and constitutional rights to reproductive freedom--McClain argues for a political theory of the family that embraces equality, defends rights as facilitating responsibility, and supports families in ways that respect men's and women's capacities for self-government.

Jonathan's Journey

God's Unseen Hand

By: Linda Clore

This book is a journey of Jonathan's life and how God's unseen hand has guided and protected Jonathan and has seen him through his folly years and spared his life time and time again. How his dad, David, and I have been praying for our son and claiming Proverbs 22:6 for him. God has a work for Jonathan to do in winning souls. God has a work for each one of us. Jonathan, at three years old, said, “I want to be a preacher!” At eight years old, he preached his first sermon to me, Linda, his mother, and to his grandma, Gladys, about not following Satan and end up in hell but follow Jesus and get to go to heaven. In this book, Jonathan's Journey follows the ways God has rescued Jonathan and brought him through miraculous situations, so his life has been spared for the work God has for him to do. May this life story of Jonathan's fighting the devil through depression, suicidal thoughts and attempts on his own life, drugging, smoking, drinking, car accidents, complete paralysis of his whole body, ending up in a wheelchair, and feeling lost and forsaken of the Lord—may these experiences Jonathan has gone through help you to see how God is sparing your life and helping you through your rough times, too. And may the parents of rebellious children be encouraged to keep praying for their wayward children and never give up on them! God's unseen hand is on them! Have faith in God! We continue to pray and claim Romans 8:28; Matthew 21:22; Mark 10:27; Luke 1:37; and Proverbs 22:6.

Obesity and Gastroenterology, An Issue of Gastroenterology Clinics of North America

By: Octavia Pickett-Blakely,Linda A. Lee

In the last three decades, the prevalence of obesity has doubled with over 600 million obese adults worldwide. The gastrointestinal complications of obesity are well publicized; however, the role of the gastrointestinal tract in the development and treatment of obesity is often understated. From the pathophysiologic role of gut hormones and the microbiota, to the purposeful, anatomic derangement of the gastrointestinal tract that is utilized as a treatment for obesity, it is imperative that gastroenterologists understand the full scope of obesity in relation to the gastrointestinal system. Studies suggest that in the U.S. obesity is underrecognized and undertreated by health care providers. Given its complex sociology, pathophysiology, and treatment, obesity, like many other diseases, requires a multidisciplinary approach. Therefore, gastroenterologists must be equipped with the relevant knowledge of obesity that will empower them to properly manage their patients.
