Four English Vocabularies to Spell - Melvin J. Hoffman - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Four English Vocabularies to Spell - Melvin J. Hoffman - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Four English Vocabularies to Spell, written in a clear, conversational style, posits that the English language has four distinct yet interconnected systems for spelling. The text borrows from the work of linguists Henry Lee Smith, Jr. and Henry J. Sustakoski, who first advanced a multiple-system approach with modern work in phonosymbolism. Author Melvin J. Hoffman proposes a new spelling pedagogy through the identification of the major characteristics and separate spelling strategies of each of the four spelling systems.

Classrooms and Barrooms - David J. Jackson - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Classrooms and Barrooms - David J. Jackson - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In Classrooms and Barrooms, David J. Jackson recounts his experiences during a semester-long Fulbright Fellowship in Poland where he taught classes at the university level and learned more about Poland and himself than he expected. From the trepidation associated with learning he was assigned to teach in a city considered by most to be an unpleasant wasteland to meeting American and Polish colleagues for the first time, Jackson''s worries vanished as he quickly learned to accept the challenges Poland presented. Halfway through his time in Poland he stumbled into a bar populated with an ever-changing cast of eccentric locals who welcomed him into their world. Each visit led him to another revelation about Polish history and culture. Alternating among hilarious, somber, and uplifting, Jackson''s experiences in the classrooms and barrooms of Poland aim both to inform and entertain.

Drawing Life - Thomas J. Cottle - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Drawing Life - Thomas J. Cottle - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In Drawing Life, Thomas J. Cottle examines the ways people interpret their life experiences and construct meanings for the events they have encountered. In this manner, they discover their various identities and the essence of what we call the self. In reading the sixteen life studies contained in this volume, we encounter both inner reflections as well the power of culture to shape the meanings people give to their circumstances and the events that befall them. The stories also reflect the role of human relationships and social institutions in defining our personal identities and sense of justice. What makes us unique, therefore, is the personal story we tell as it reveals our constructions of the world and of ourselves. The stories recounted in Drawing Life illuminate not only our past, but also our perceptions of the present and our imaginings of the future. In this way, they become anthologies of our life experiences.

The Catholics and Mrs. Mary Surratt - Kenneth J. Zanca - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Catholics and Mrs. Mary Surratt - Kenneth J. Zanca - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Professor Kenneth J. Zanca analyzes the responses of mid-nineteenth century Catholics in America to Mrs. Mary Surratt''s trial and execution for her part in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. These reactions are placed within various contexts: the Catholic Church during America''s Civil War; the wider secular and Protestant culture of the Victorian era; the post-assassination climate of 1865; and Vatican politics. Previous studies of Mrs. Surratt have explored the issues of her guilt or innocence. This work takes a line of inquiry not yet explored by historians, Catholic or otherwise, in that it investigates reactions to her execution through the eyes of contemporary Catholic and Protestant witnesses and commentators.

Western and Chinese Arbitration - Arthur J. Gemmell - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Western and Chinese Arbitration - Arthur J. Gemmell - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Seasoned businesspeople, especially those engaged in international business, are keenly aware of the fact that no matter how pleasant their pre-arrangement business courtship has been post-arrangement disputes may occur. While some disputes may be settled amicably, other resolutions leave the parties unsatisfied due to prolonged and costly litigation. Dr. Arthur J. Gemmell asserts that an understanding of the international arbitral system will enrich and sustain business while serving as a viable avenue for commercial dispute resolution. To explore the arbitral system, Dr. Gemmell uses the Chinese and Western arbitral systems, past and present, in order to understand what can be accomplished from their examples and errors. The term ''arbitral chain'' refers to the linkage of one arbitral era to another. It is as essential term in the understanding of how successive eras built or modified the standards of arbitration on what had worked in the past.

The Contemporary Pennsylvania Legislature - John J. Kennedy - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Contemporary Pennsylvania Legislature - John J. Kennedy - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In The Contemporary Pennsylvania Legislature, John J. Kennedy explores a variety of topics that are relevant for any small lawmaking institution. He investigates to what degree current social and technological changes have affected the Pennsylvania legislature and how it has been transformed from a part-time lawmaking body to a full-time professional institution. The data for Kennedy''s study comes from a survey of legislators who served in the 1993-1994 Pennsylvania Assembly as well as candidates who ran for office but were defeated. Noting that political parties are on the decline in the U.S., Kennedy examines whether lawmakers are more inclined to follow their own interests, their parties'', or those of their constituents when voting on particular issues. In addition to discussing the philosophical dispositions of legislators, he also examines the electoral experiences of defeated candidates. Kennedy''s study is an important resource for those interested in American government, the legislative process, or political science.

Adventures of Ojemba - Chukwuma J. Obiagwu - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Adventures of Ojemba - Chukwuma J. Obiagwu - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Adventures of Ojemba is the story of the Igbo people. In contrast to many historical narratives, Dr. Chukwuma J. Obiagwu chooses to avoid dwelling on any particular issue in history and it''s effect on the Igbo people. Rather, he provides the readers with a general overview of their culture, traditions, habits, and general life. Tracing the historical context and their beginnings, this book addresses major events faced by these people. It is inevitable that basic questions such as "who are the Igbo people?" provoke a plethora of theories, explanations, and questions. This study provides clear insight on what distinguishes the Igbo people from other neighboring peoples. It is a supplement to Dr. Elizabeth Isichie''s history text, The History of Igbo People, and compliments this text by providing more probable answers to the origins of these people. Dr. Obiagwu''s main theory proposes that the Igbo people are descendant of the black Jewish population. A common view of historians throughout time, Obiagwu thoroughly develops this argument through his assessment of the aspects of the Igbo people''s lives.

Introduction to Religious Studies - Harvey J. Sindima - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Introduction to Religious Studies - Harvey J. Sindima - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In Introduction to Religious Studies, Harvey J. Sindima provides an unconventional approach to the study of world religions. Often, books and courses on religious studies focus on the major world religions. This approach, however, frequently ignores other religious experiences, such as those of various African groups as well as the indigenous people of the Americas and Australia. These less widespread religions are commonly described in pejorative terms such as ''primitive religions'' or ''non-literate religions.'' Focusing solely on well-known religions is an approach that impoverishes religious studies and deprives students of the enormous wealth of religious knowledge of the world. Introduction to Religious Studies pulls together the diverse religious experience of Africans, Native Americans, and the indigenous peoples of Australia in order to provide a comprehensive introduction to the study of religion and broaden the horizons of religious studies students. Under each theme or topic, examples are drawn from religions of salvation as well as African and Native American religious traditions. This book provides students with a deep, wide, and very rich introduction to religious studies.

Between Dreaming and Recognition Seeking - Hubert J. M. Hermans - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Between Dreaming and Recognition Seeking - Hubert J. M. Hermans - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

How can an internationally recognized theory contribute towards the enrichment of your own life? In Between Dreaming and Recognition Seeking, Hubert J. M. Hermans, the creator of Dialogical Self Theory, applies this theory to his own life and explains how readers can do the same. He describes several destabilizing events from throughout his lifetime and investigates how they changed his own self. Hermans discusses such events as the breakdown of his self-esteem at school, the experience of falling in love as a “revolution” in his self, the experience of “paradise lost,” and the tensions from living in the border zone of a traditional, modern, and post-modern self. Through a series of thought-provoking questions, Hermans invites readers to explore the long-term meaning of significant events in their own lives. Between Dreaming and Recognition Seeking provides an accessible way to learn about Dialogical Self Theory and how it can be used for one’s self-development.

Christians, Feminists, and The Culture of Pornography - Arthur J. Mielke - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Christians, Feminists, and The Culture of Pornography - Arthur J. Mielke - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In this pioneering study in religion and culture, Mielke acknowledges the power that pornographic images continue to assert in a culture whose conscious intention is to deny their attraction. Despite efforts by Christians and feminists alike to radically alter the sexual agenda in the direction of a more tender and respectful eroticism, much of contemporary America continues its sexual odyssey with unrepentant enthusiasm—and with an increasing interest in overt sexual imagery. Mielke''s unique analysis brings together a wide range of sources—contemporary as well as historical Christianity, sex therapy, secular feminism, contemporary psychoanalysis, and behavioral science research studies—in an attempt to explain the prevalence of pornographic themes and imagery in human sexual arousal and fulfillment. Contents: Preface; Acknowledgements; Introducton; The Problematic Place of Pornography in Culture; Sexual Liberalism in America; Feminists Confront Pornography; Christian Perspectives on Sex and Pornography; The Dynamics of Sexual Excitement: The Research of Robert J. Stroller, M.D.; Pornography''s Challenge to Theology; Bibliography; Readings for Further Study; Index.

A Small Book of Essays on Peacemaking Criminology - Louis J Gesualdi - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

A Small Book of Essays on Peacemaking Criminology - Louis J Gesualdi - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In this concise and valuable collection of essays, Louis J. Gesualdi provides readers with an understanding of peacemaking criminology. Peacemaking criminology is a humane, nonviolent, and scientific approach in its treatment of crime and the offender. It looks at crime as just one of the many types of suffering that exemplify human life. Efforts to put a stop to such suffering—according to peacemaking criminologists—should take into account a main rebuilding of America’s social institutions, such as the economic system, the criminal justice system, and the health care system so that they no longer create suffering. The United States as a society pays no notice to prevention, but rather adheres to the belief of imprisonment and punishment. The twelve essays in this book focus on how peacemaking criminology aids in the prevention of crime, the rehabilitation of offenders, and involves the core principles of social justice and human rights.

Donald J. Trump and China - John Franklin Copper - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Donald J. Trump and China - John Franklin Copper - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In Donald J. Trump and China John F. Copper examines President Trump’s views of China that developed before and after he entered office. As a businessman and as a witness to US politics and foreign policy, Trump realized China was the most important country in the world to the United States. He also recognized that one of the key difficulties in American trade policy was the imbalance between the US and China. Copper argues that Trump blamed policy makers for the disparity and was determined to rectify the imbalance. President Trump undertook formulating a new China policy in spite of nonsupporters in the Democratic Party, the media, academia, and Hollywood. Donald Trump accepted China’s rise as an economic power and felt he could negotiate with President Xi to construct a positive relationship that would benefit both countries, save the global financial system, curb nuclear proliferation, and save the environment. Ultimately, Copper asserts that Trump knew a constructive relationship with China would be challenging, however he also understood that this is the nature of big power politics and strategic negotiations and realism would ensure peace between these two powerful countries.
