Subduing Satan

Religion, Recreation, and Manhood in the Rural South, 1865-1920

By: Ted Ownby

The Praying South and the Fighting South are two of our most popular images of white southern culture. In Subduing Satan, Ted Ownby details the tensions between these complex--and often opposing--attitudes. "Ownby's re-creation of male recreation is rich and fascinating. He paints the saloon and the street, the cockfighting and dogfighting rings as realms of distinctly male vices, enjoyed lustily by men seeking to escape the sweet virtue of the Southern Christian home.--Nation "A bold new thesis. . . . [Ownby] gives us guideposts in the ongoing search for the meaning of southern history.--Journal of Southern History "I suspect that for many years ahead Ted Ownby's Subduing Satan will serve as the standard guide on how to write religious social history.--Bertram Wyatt-Brown, University of Florida "This is one of the freshest and most interesting books written about the American South in years. By focusing on the cultural conflicts of everyday life, Ownby gets us right to the heart of white culture in the South between Reconstruction and the 1920s.--Edward L. Ayers, University of Virginia

The Life and Times of Last Minute Reilly

By: Jim Craig,Lawrie Reilly,Ted Brack,Tommy Gemmell

Lawrie Reilly is one of Hibernian and Scotland's greatest ever players. A member of Hibs' legendary Famous Five forward line, he played a key part in the most successful period in the club's history. Lawrie's career was a real success story. He won the Scottish League title three times with Hibs and was the club's leading goal scorer for seven successive seasons - a record that remains unmatched. In Last Minute Reilly, Lawrie now reveals for the first time what it was like to be a member of the Famous Five, what made him the incredible player he was, his views on why his Hibs team never won the Scottish Cup and his thoughts on the characters in the game. He also tells the full story of why he decided to go on strike, who brokered the deal to get him back on the field doing what he did best and how he sustained the injury that ended his career before the age of thirty. In his international career, Lawrie Reilly achieved a goals per game record for Scotland that has never been bettered - 22 goals in 38 games. He was always at his very best against England and his knack of scoring late equalisers against the Auld Enemy earned him his nickname of 'Last Minute Reilly' along with everlasting popularity amongst Scotland fans. Last Minute Reilly is the story of a genuine footballing great, a legend of the game and one of football's true gentlemen.

Perspectives on Student Behaviour in Schools

Exploring Theory and Developing Practice

By: Mere Berryman,Ted Glynn,Janice Wearmouth

The authors of this comprehensive text discuss the root causes of disruptive behaviour, tackle assessment issues and develop effective intervention strategies that will be of practical use to teachers and other educators. Whilst theorising behaviour management from a range of perspectives: psychodynamic, behavioural and socio-cultural, the authors remain firmly focused on practical issues of policy making, assessment and intervention, and address a wide range of related issues, such as: policy in relation to behaviour in schools at local authority, national and international level cultural concerns, race, gender, school discipline and exclusion medical perspectives of topical interest such as ADHD, autism and diet assessment at district, community, classroom and individual level, and how these underpin theory. This book will appeal to anyone for whom behaviour in schools is a key concern, such as student teachers, teacher educators, senior school managers and practising teachers undertaking further study in the field.

Mr. Scrooge

A Musical Comedy in Two Acts

By: Richard Morris,Ted Wood

A lilting Christmas show based on Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol. The added dimensions of musical treatment make this a particularly enjoyable new way of presenting this grand story of hardhearted Ebenezer Scrooge, who hates Christmas and is visited successively by three ghosts: the ghost of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future. They bring revelations to Scrooge, mainly about himself, and he's shocked into action that centers about the poor but happy Cratchit family and their brave little crippled son Tiny Tim. The songs are varied and catchy. (from publisher's website)

By: Ted Laros

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Literature and the Law in South Africa, 1910–2010

The Long Walk to Artistic Freedom

By: Ted Laros

In 1994, artistic freedom pertaining inter alia to literature was enshrined in the South African Constitution. Clearly, the establishment of this right was long overdue compared to other nations within the Commonwealth. Indeed, the legal framework and practices regarding the regulation of literature that were introduced following the nation’s transition to a non-racial democracy seemed to form a decisive turning point in the history of South African censorship of literature. This study employs a historical sociological point of view to describe how the nation’s emerging literary field helped pave the way for the constitutional entrenchment of this right in 1994. On the basis of institutional and poetological analyses of all the legal trials concerning literature that were held in South Africa during the period 1910–2010, it describes how the battles fought in and around the courts between literary, judicial and executive elites eventually led to a constitutional exceptio artis for literature. As the South African judiciary displayed an ongoing orientation towards both English and American law in this period, the analyses are firmly placed in the context of developments occurring concurrently in these two legal systems.

Ted Lambert

The Man Behind the Paintings

By: Ted Lambert

Ted Lambert is regarded as one of the premier Alaska artists, a true pioneer. Born in 1905, and raised in the Chicago area, Lambert moved to Alaska in 1925 and went to work as a miner near McCarthy. He held several jobs, predominantly working at a copper mine and mushing dogs—first for adventure, and then as a mail carrier. Lambert left Alaska in 1931 to study art for a year at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, then moved to Seattle, where he began a mentorship under Eustace Ziegler, with whom he traveled throughout Alaska and painted. Eventually Lambert settled down in Fairbanks, where he stayed for twenty years and solidified his reputation as a painter and an artist. But in 1960 he disappeared from the remote cabin he was living in at Bristol Bay. No trace of his body was ever found, but among the effects rescued from his last home was a memoir of his early days in Alaska. Presented here and never before published, these memoirs reveal Lambert to be a keen and intelligent observer and relay the adventure story of a young man who would become one of Alaska’s most important artists.

Strategic Sport Communication

By: Paul M. Pedersen,Pamela C. Laucella,Edward (Ted) M. Kian,Andrea N. Geurin

Strategic Sport Communication, Second Edition, explores the sport industry’s exciting and multifaceted segment of sport communication. With communication theory, sport literature, and insight from the industry’s leading professionals, the text presents a standard framework that introduces readers to the many ways in which individuals, media outlets, and sport organizations work to create, disseminate, and manage messages to their constituents. The team of international authors has drawn on its extensive practical, academic, and leadership experiences to update and revitalize this second edition of Strategic Sport Communication. Using the industry-defining standard of the Strategic Sport Communication Model (SSCM), the text explores sport communication in depth and then frames the three major components of the field: personal and organizational communication, sport media, and sport communication services and support. Readers will discover how each aspect of this segment of the sport industry is integral to the management, marketing, and operational goals at all levels of sport organizations. The second edition includes the following enhancements: • A new, expanded chapter titled Integrated Marketing Communication in Sport allows students to explore modern marketing strategy. • Substantial updates and new information on multiple social media platforms throughout the book elucidate the latest trends. • “Sport Communication at Work” sidebars and “Profile of a Sport Communicator” features apply topics and theoretical concepts to real-world situations. • Key terms, learning objectives, and chapter wrap-ups with review questions, discussion questions, and individual exercises keep readers engaged and focused. • An expanded ancillary package provides tools for instructors to use in course preparation and presentation. The content is complemented by photos throughout and organized in an easy-to-read style. Part I of the book introduces sport communication by defining the scope of study, examining roles and functions of sport communication professionals, and looking at the history and growth of the field. Part II dives into the SSCM, which provides a macro-view of the three main components of communication in sport. This section also addresses digital and mobile communications, public relations and crisis communication, and sport research. Part III addresses sociocultural issues and legal aspects of sport communication, including culture, gender, sex, race, ethnicity, and politics. Throughout the text, individual exercises, group activities, review questions, and discussion questions promote comprehension for a variety of learning styles. With Strategic Sport Communication, Second Edition, readers will be introduced to the vast and varied field of sport communication. The framework of the SSCM prepares readers with foundational and theoretical knowledge so they are able to understand the workings of, and ultimately contribute to, the rapidly growing field of sport communication.

Toughlove

How do you love an “impossible” teenager? “An effective way of uniting parents to square off against the youngsters’ own powerful peer group that endorses drugtaking and rebelliousness.”—Time Thousands of parents are finding new hope in dealing with rebellious teenagers through Toughlove, a self-help program which has grown to over eight hundred groups throughout the United States and Canada in less than six years. Now, for the first time in book form, the founders tell how Toughlove works. “You need Toughlove if you feel helpless and unable to cope with your teenagers’ behavior or if you feel victimized by them, disappointed in yourself as a parent, guilty because you think you have done a rotten job and are frightened bythe potential for violence in yourself and your children. . . . Remember, you have the right to a night’s sleep without where your kid is—or being awakened by a phone call from the police or a hospital or a drunk teenager who’s stranded somewhere.”—Ann Landers

Mango Lady & Other Stories from Hawaii

By: Ted Gugelyk

Mango Lady & Other Stories from Hawaii takes the reader on a journey not unlike a long ride across the face of a giant wave, full of unexpected turns and surprises, weaving together memories, fantasies, and personalities that stretch from long ago Hawaii to modern day Vietnam. Through all of them is the connecting spirit of the Islands, its special mana, its people, its surf, bringing times past into the present in a special, intimate way. There is Mango Lady, who lived in Waikiki since childhood, watching her ancient preoccupations become irrelevant in the new bustle of development. There is The Man to Whom Surf Cam, the tale of a magical Urban who never failed to attract surf. There is A November Surfer, an adventure of a senior surfer at remote Rabbit Island. There is Hard Port, an intriguing pulling together of Hawaii and Russia, when a longtime surfer visits Nakhodka in the Russian Far East, the land of his ancestors. Finally, there is the flamboyant and unsettling Captain Aloha, a tale of two old surfing friends from Hawaii and the horrors of the war in Vietnam, a unique portrait of psychology and culture, of friendship and passing time.

MacDonald Coyote

A Search for Heaven in the High Sierra

By: Ted Thompson

At age 49, San Francisco businessman MacDonald "Mac" Coyote nearly loses his life when he lands in the hospital with severe high blood sugar. The doctors diagnose him with diabetes and only through the miracle of modern medicine does he survive. But when he realizes he's been given a second chance, Mac discovers that he has the will to do the impossible-what the Greeks call Pleonexia-and he's going to leave his high-end lifestyle for something better. Over his wife's objections, they and their dog move out of the city and homestead thirty acres in California's High Sierra wilderness. The next few months bring encounters with bureaucracy, inept and hostile workers, blizzards, and forest fires as Mac's flatlander dream turns into a nightmare. He publishes a book of poems to great reviews and negligible sales, but he also grows cynical and grouchy. Maybe the impossible really is impossible. Mac wants to give up and move back to the city, but his wife loves their little cabin in the forest and refuses to leave. It's during a one-hundred year flood that Mac manages to pull off a miracle in the finest tradition of magic realism and discovers what it's truly like to be alive.

Jazz Age Chronicles: Volume 1

By: Ted Slampyak

Think Magnum PI set during the 1920s! DOUBLE MYSTERY! Set in the 1920's Jazz Chronicles centers around Ace Mifflin, private eye, who finds himself plunged into mysteries that go beyond his comfort zone of speakeasies and the streets of Boston. "The Case of the Beguiling Baroness": When famed archeologist Clifford Jennings' Secret Society needs to keep track of Baroness Von Treska, a notorious dabbler in the black arts, they hire Mifflin. And that's when things really get out of hand. And while the true fate of the Baroness remains a mystery, Jennings, Mifflin, and Flynt must track down a killer that is beyond anything Mifflin has experienced before. And even if they can catch the killer, how can they possibly stop him?

Supporting Students With Literacy Difficulties: A Responsive Approach

A Responsive Approach

By: Glynn, Ted,Wearmouth, Janice,Berryman, Mere

â€œArguably the most common sense, and certainly the most informative, contemporary text onliteracyâ€¦ Glynn, Wearmouth and Berryman bring a wealth of experience to the field of literacy,culture and family/school collaboration. We are indebted to the authors for putting together such aninformative and groundbreaking text that has overarching relevance in todayâ€™s multicultural society.â€ Dr Gavin Reid, University of Edinburgh, UK â€œA much needed text to counter the overly psychological approach to teaching literacy. It emphasizes asocio-cultural approach which puts the focus on the interactive, responsive and social elements of thechild learning to read in relation to the world around them.â€ Wally Penetito, Victoria University, New Zealand In many countries, school populations are becoming increasingly socially and culturally diverse, and delivering effective literacy programmes is becoming more challenging and complex. This book shows schools how to address difficulties with literacy learning experienced by students of diverse backgrounds, by employing strategies that respond to and affirm difference. This â€˜responsive approachâ€™ actively engages with studentsâ€™ prior knowledge and experiences and ensures that these are fully validated in the literacy activities of the classroom. The responsive approach includes members of students' homes and communities collaborating to facilitate their participation in defining and delivering literacy programmes. This book illustrates ways in which teachers and other adults can create responsive social contexts at school and at home, to enable all children to participate fully in reading, writing and oral language activities in the classroom. It offers effective strategies for overcoming barriers to literacy learning, including: Reading tutoring that promotes comprehension and independence Writing partnerships that respond to childrenâ€™s messages Responsive feedback strategies Interactive contexts that promote student responsibility for learning Community and school collaboration to develop authentic learning tasks Supporting Students with Literacy Difficulties: A Responsive Approachis key reading for teacher education students, practising teachers and parents.

Companion Animal Economics

The Economic Impact of Companion Animals in the UK

By: Sophie Hall,Luke Dolling,Katie Bristow,Ted Fuller,Daniel S Mills

Succinct, highly readable and thought provoking, this important new text is designed to raise awareness of the potential economic impact of companion animals in the UK. It discusses the potential benefits and costs of companion animals to the economy and highlights the need for this matter to be thoroughly researched, given the potential scale of impact and the potential costs of ignoring this matter. Inspired by the seminal Council for Science and Society (CSS) Report, Companion Animals in Society (1988), this work updates and extends its evaluation of the economic impact of companion animals on society and lays a benchmark for future development. This pivotal new book is important for policy makers at national and international levels and all those involved in animal welfare.

Skullduggery!

The True Causes of The Financial Crisis

By: Ted Krager

I spent 30 years of my life, 1977-2008, working in financial services - either for Wall Street or self-employed as a mortgage banker with 300+ employees in 39 states! In the 70''s when I graduated from high school and college, the country was besieged with protests over the war in Viet Nam and those protests tore the fabric of our society. My best friend from age 11 to 19 joined the Navy and became a SEAL. Each time he came home on leave and in the years after he left the Navy, I heard bits and pieces of some of the things he had to do and my heart bled. We also had the shootings at Kent State and the Watergate scandal under President Nixon. The country was ripped apart, much like the past 3 1/2 years, by social and political conflicts, riots and demonstrations. A pervasive air of racial strife persisted, caused by the shooting of Martin Luther King. Not surprisingly, a schism formed in the country just as the leading edge of the baby boom generation was becoming adults. It seemed that my generation transformed into "hippies / flower children, labels analogous today with progressives / socialists / Occupy Wall Street protestors. Others became conservatives. That first group was the epitome of "sex, drugs and rock and roll" even into adulthood while the second group seemed mostly to grow past that stage and become business leaders / self-employed entrepreneurs / conservatives. In Skullduggery, I make the case that it was the 60''s and early 70''s that caused the majority of 76,000,000 baby boomers to evolve into Democrats or Republicans. At my 20th, 30th and 40th year high school reunions, talking to my friends that were in both of those groups, I estimate that ~90% of the hippies are liberals today and ~90% of the others are conservatives. The exceptions are rare. The point of bringing this up is that eventually the country returned to more peaceful times: the Viet Nam conflict ended, Nixon resigned in disgrace and the wounds from Kent State healed. Today, in 2012, the country is again just as torn as it has was in the 1970''s due once again to Middle East wars, the Great Recession of 2007 - 2012, President Obama''s constant and incendiary rhetoric, incessant politicking over race, ObamaCare, divisive dialogue of the haves and have-nots, his infamous campaign gaffe to Joe the Plumber, spread the wealth around, the 99% vs the Top 1% (class warfare), millionaires and billionaires and his war with big business. So much for Hope and Change, Change We Can Believe In and my favorite the first post-racial president. To the contrary, the United States of America is as unsettled, divided and angry as I have seen it since the 1960''s and the early 1970''s. The big questions are easy ones: Why? and What caused this return to the anger and the hostilities of the 60''s and 70''s? Since I am part of the baby boom generation and was very much a participant in both the professions of Wall Street and mortgage banking, I am in a unique position to tell you about what I saw and heard up close and personal in the 1960''s - 1970''s AND about the decade that led up to what culminated in the Great Recession of 2007-2012 that we are still clawing our way out of. Here are a few things that might surprise you, further discussed in this book: 1. The overwhelming majority of Greedy Wall Streeters and Fat Cat Bankers are massive and consistent donors to liberal Democrats, even in 2012 in the face of Obama''s persistent (and false) accusations of casting them as the fat cat bankers and greedy Wall Streeters as causing the recession! 2. The senior most executives in these companies pilloried by President Obama, gave upwards of 60% of total donations, over $20M, to Obama''s 2008 presidential campaign and his Political Action Committees into 2009. 3. The earliest beginnings of the current Financial Crisis started back in the late 1970''s. 4. Some of the names that were catalysts of the Financial Crisis are very well known activists, anarchists, life-long socialists, present and former D.C. politicians and three very well known U.S. presidents. 5. And, just in case you have not done your research or taken the time to trace the trail of bread crumbs back to the source... you need to know the irrefutable reality that: The Subprime Mortgage Crisis = The Financial Crisis of 2007 - 2012 6. From the very beginnings of The Financial Crisis in the fall of 2007, the media referred to this as The Subprime Mortgage Crisis, until they didn''t. Why did they change the name, the label if you will, of the meltdown of the U.S. economy that soon infected the balance sheets of many foreign banks, other countries, even a small village in Norway? Because the powers that be, that have the media in their pocket, told the media that calling it the Subprime Mortgage Crisis was too close to home... too close to reality... too easily focused in on the exact manipulations that lead back to the beginnings of what became a global financial debacle. So, the media started referring to the meltdown as The Financial Crisis or The Great Recession and took the spotlight off the root cause, subprime mortgages, created by liberal President Jimmy Carter and then crammed down our throats by activist Chicago attorney Barack Obama and progressive President Bill Clinton. Your mission, if you choose to accept it and don''t want all this to happen again, or if you are just Mad As Hell and Not Going To Take it Anymore, is to take a journey of discovery back to the era that created what came to be known as subprime mortgages. You must understand the people and their rationales that took on a life of its own in throwing out the common sense rules and regulations that mortgage lending institutions (banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc.) had used since records were kept starting in the 1940''s, that had kept mortgage defaults under 2% for 60 years but exploded to 14% from 2008 to 2010. (A mortgage in default is when a homeowner is 90 days or more in arrears.) Clearly, unequivocally, a 600% increase in defaults in less than 2 years didn''t arise overnight nor was it caused by a free market economy! Rather, it is the result of gross manipulation of free markets by ideologues that resulted in the worst, by far, financial crisis since The Great Depression, and it could have been avoided!
