We Don’t Trust Your Theology

Reconstructing Your Faith from Rubble

By: George M. Benson

What comes after deconstruction? How do we begin to pick up some of the pieces of a faith or religious life that we had held on to for so long? We Don't Trust Your Theology is one person's approach to starting the reconstruction work. Meant as a jumping off point, this book walks alongside the reader to give ideas, encouragement, and some personal stories on what that may look like.

The Prison of Democracy

Race, Leavenworth, and the Culture of Law

By: Sara M. Benson

At publication date, a free ebook version of this title will be available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Built in the 1890s at the center of the nation, Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary was designed specifically to be a replica of the US Capitol Building. But why? The Prison of Democracy explains the political significance of a prison built to mimic one of America’s monuments to democracy. Locating Leavenworth in memory, history, and law, the prison geographically sits at the borders of Indian Territory (1825–1854) and Bleeding Kansas (1854–1864), both sites of contestation over slavery and freedom. Author Sara M. Benson argues that Leavenworth reshaped the design of punishment in America by gradually normalizing state-inflicted violence against citizens. Leavenworth’s peculiar architecture illustrates the real roots of mass incarceration—as an explicitly race- and nation-building system that has been ingrained in the very fabric of US history rather than as part of a recent post-war racial history. The book sheds light on the truth of the painful relationship between the carceral state and democracy in the US—a relationship that thrives to this day.

Denny's Destiny: Change Agent

By: Dennis M. Benson

This is the story about the experiences of one mans life, careers and involvements with people and organizations in the United States and other parts of the world. The results have changed individuals lives and organizations means for providing services to people. The story tells of his adventuresome, humanistic, and sometimes humorous involvements in his life through traveling, music, and professional leadership with people and organizations. Dr. Oo from Burma spoke to Denny and called him a change agent. The work he had accomplished would change the engineering education system for the third world developing country in years to come. However, Denny should not expect to see or hear of any changes for several years because the changes would not happen very quickly. Again he said You have been and are a Change Agent. Denny knew a light bulb had just clicked on inside his mind as he realized a total stranger from half way around the world just explained what his mission was all about and what his mission in life was to become. He then turned and asked his wife, Where is Burma?

Automation in Proteomics and Genomics

An Engineering Case-Based Approach

By: Gil Alterovitz,Roseann M. Benson,Marco Ramoni

In the last decade DNA sequencing costs have decreased over a magnitude, largely because of increasing throughput by incremental advances in tools, technologies and process improvements. Further cost reductions in this and in related proteomics technologies are expected as a result of the development of new high-throughput techniques and the computational machinery needed to analyze data generated. Automation in Proteomics & Genomics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach describes the automation technology currently in the areas of analysis, design, and integration, as well as providing basic biology concepts behind proteomics and genomics. The book also discusses the current technological limitations that can be viewed as an emerging market rather than a research bottleneck. Topics covered include: molecular biology fundamentals: from ‘blueprint’ (DNA) to ‘task list’ (RNA) to ‘molecular machine’ (protein); proteomics methods and technologies; modelling protein networks and interactions analysis via automation: DNA sequencing; microarrays and other parallelization technologies; protein characterization and identification; protein interaction and gene regulatory networks design via automation: DNA synthesis; RNA by design; building protein libraries; synthetic networks integration: multiple modalities; computational and experimental methods; trends in automation for genomics and proteomics new enabling technologies and future applications Automation in Proteomics & Genomics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach is an essential guide to the current capabilities and challenges of high-throughput analysis of genes and proteins for bioinformaticians, engineers, chemists, and biologists interested in developing a cross-discipline problem-solving based approach to systems biology.

Fields, Waves and Transmission Lines

Fields, Waves and Transmission Lines

By: M. Benson

One of us (FAB) published a book Problems in Electronics with Solutions in 1957 which became well established and ran to five editions, the last revised and enlarged edition appearing in 1976. When the first edition was written it covered almost the complete undergraduate electronics courses in engin eering at universities. One book, at a price students can afford, can no longer cover an undergraduate course in electronics. It has therefore been decided to produce a book covering one important section of such a course using the experience gained and a few problems from previous editions of Problems in Electronics with Solutions. The book is based largely on problems collected by us over many years and given to undergraduate electronic and electrical engineers. Its purpose is to present the problems, together with a large number of their solutions, in the hope that it will prove valuable to undergraduates and other teachers. It should also be useful for Master's degree students in electronic and electrical engineering and physics, research workers, engineers and scientists in industry and as a reference source.

Database Sockets and Web Application Development

Papers and Presentations

By: Patrick M. Benson

Patrick M. Benson originated database sockets, enabling enterprise-scale and e-commerce capable web systems. In the mid-1990's he gave four national presentations and presented two papers detailing how n-tier web systems could be built and the role database sockets played. These became part of the web developer's toolbox. This collection pulls together for the first time all six documents. It includes contemporaneous speaker notes, updates to the papers and presentations notes reflecting questions and answers at the conferences, and update comments from June 2012. Included are: • "Perl as a System Glue" from the First O'Reilly Perl Conference. The paper and presentation are the genesis of database sockets and distributed computing in UNIX and related open source tools. • "OASIS – A Web Based Fixed Assets System" from the Indiana University 1998 WebDevShare conference. The paper and presentation that provided the first deep technical details describing how database sockets worked. It includes the C-code necessary to implement server side database sockets.• "OASIS – A Web Based Fixed Assets System" from the 1998 EduComm/EduCause national conference. Here Benson provided a management view into sample systems and web development and activities. This includes Benson's Best Practices model • "Performance Driven Design Issues in Web Development" from the 1999 WebDevShare conference. This presentation addressed challents of moving web systems from development into production. Here Benson introduced both real-world n-tier, multiport and multithread sockets as a solution to issues faced by web developers.

Volunteer Tourism

Research

Volunteer Tourism

By: Angela M. Benson

Volunteer tourism is one of the major growth areas in contemporary tourism, where tourists for various reasons seek alternative goodwill experiences and activities. An emerging segment of this is Research Volunteer Tourism. Research Volunteer Tourism is where; volunteers either engage in research themselves or assist others with their research projects. The use of volunteers is one of the key mechanisms for research volunteer organizations to meet their goals and therefore, they play an important role. Volunteers can usually be accommodated within the portfolio of projects and the recruitment of volunteers onto projects can enable the unlocking of money, annually, from private individuals which provides invaluable funding. In addition, weeks and months of individuals' time is donated to participate in projects and in furthering the sustainability agenda. Yet the extent to which the organizations engage with volunteers varies considerably as does the expectation of volunteers in this role. This book focuses on the experiences and perspectives of research volunteer tourists to fully explore whether perceptions of what constitutes the concept of volunteering is the same as the organization, and whether they perceive themselves in a volunteering role. Issues such as payment for experience and what the payment contributes towards are thoroughly explored for the first time. This book therefore moves beyond the topics of volunteer motivation providing further understanding and knowledge of volunteer perspectives across different aspects of the volunteering experiences. Written by a leading academic in this field, this timely book will be of interest to tourism students and academics internationally.
