Sylvestri Yarrow is on a streak of bad luck with no end of sight. She’s been doing her best to keep the family cargo business going after her mom’s death, but between mounting debt and increasing attacks by the Nihil on unsuspecting ships, Syl is in danger of losing all she has left of her mother. She heads to the galactic capital of Coruscant for help, but gets sidetracked when she’s drawn into a squabble between two of the Republic’s most powerful families over a patch of space on the frontier. Tangled up in familial politics is the last place Syl wants to be, but the promise of a big payoff is enough to keep her interested…Meanwhile, Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh has been summoned to Coruscant, but with no idea of why or by whom. She and her Padawan Imri Cantaros arrive at the capital along with Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus and his Padawan, Reath Silas―and are asked to assist with the property dispute on the frontier. But why? What is so important about an empty patch of space? The answer

Ancient Macedonia is often synonymous with Alexander the Great. After all, his conquests stretched the Macedonian Empire thousands of miles wide, and during his reign Macedonia was without equal. Alexander and his father, Philip II, who raised Macedonia to superpower status, still dominate our perceptions of this ancient kingdom and empire. Macedonian kings before Philip and Alexander are often portrayed as their opposites--weak and ineffectual--but this book proves that this is a mistake. While Macedonia under the Argead Kings covers the reigns of Philip, Alexander, and his immediate successors, it takes an even closer look at what life was like in Macedonia before its most famous rulers. While the literary evidence speaks of Macedonia's internal disunity during this period, as well as its dynastic upheavals, it is important to note that the authors of this literature were often Greeks, who had very different perspectives of what their enemies, the Macedonians, were like. This book su

The Bible tells its story about leaders and leadership in terms of three socio-political axes: by domain (familial and public); by gender (male and female); and by position (socio-political heads such as warriors and kings versus intermediaries such as prophets and diviners). The Bible only rarely idealizes Israel's leaders, such as Moses and David. Instead, it emphasizes the impact of the family on both family leaders and public leaders. This book initially focuses on Genesis, with a look at a major moment in the life of three great family ancestors: Abraham, Rebecca and Jacob. The second part of the book focuses on public leaders, particularly prophets, warriors and kings and the parallels between warrior commissions and stories of prophetic calls that suggest an interconnected literary relationship. Finally, the book highlights four features that inform the stories discussed in this book: authorship, attractiveness, authority, and anonymity. Profiles in Family and Public Leadership

Amidst heightened rhetoric and increasing polarization in the United States, American Pogroms chronicles the causes and consequences of two centuries of mob violence in American history, highlighting exactly what's at stake when we allow leaders to legitimate violence and the mob to rule. For much of American history, members of the majority population of the United States indiscriminately attacked and terrorized minority communities. In some parts of the country, mob violence seemed a near-constant part of the region's history, while in others it was a brief, horrific spasm that perpetrators--but not victims--quickly forgot. In American Pogroms, terrorism expert Daniel Byman argues that there is a word for this type of communal violence: pogrom. Although pogroms are historically associated with the orchestrated campaigns of anti-Jewish violence in Tsarist Russia, Byman asserts that pogroms have been an all-too-frequent feature of American history. Tracing two centuries of communal vio

Practice-based evidence refers to research findings derived from clinical routine. As a complementary paradigm to randomized clinical trials, this evidence is collected through practice-oriented research with the goals of describing how mental health services are utilized and implemented, understanding how these services work or fail to work, and providing ways to improve practice. In contrast to traditional trials, practice-oriented research does not impose researcher-driven restrictions or prescriptions to clinical practice, which, for many practitioners, make research irrelevant to their work. By investigating psychological therapies as they are actually conducted in naturalistic settings, practice-oriented research stands as a strategy to foster a seamless integration between science and practice. In Practice-Based Evidence in the Psychological Therapies, practice-oriented researchers from different parts of the world and across a variety of clinical settings describe what led them

Make Believe is a book for adults about books for children, a rallying cry for art and imagination, and a celebration of the power of storytelling in all our lives. Mac Barnett, the beloved, bestselling children's author and U.S. National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, urges us to think expansively about the potential of children's books-and the particular brilliance of young readers: What if children are a great audience for art? What if they are in fact better equipped to engage deeply with stories than adults? What if humans' ability to appreciate art is, if not innate, awakened early in childhood? Well, then we'd better do our best to make some good kids' books.Barnett has published more than 60 children's books, which have been translated into 30+ languages and have sold more than 5 million copies worldwide, winning many international prizes along the way. Make Believe is his incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children's literature not only as an art

One of three surviving collections of Latin bucolic poetry, the seven Eclogues transmitted under the name of Calpurnius Siculus are generally assigned to the reign of Nero, although the debate on dating continues, with proposals ranging between the later first and third centuries CE. Calpurnius follows Vergil's Eclogues as his main model, but reaches back to Theocritus for additional pastoral features, and the poems show the influences of later works of Vergil, Ovid, and other elegists. Two factors have made Calpurnius a "marginal" poet: the collection's lack of historical context and the status of bucolic poetry as a minor, discontinuous genre. This literary study embraces these factors as an opportunity for a de-historicized reading of Calpurnius by interpreting the poems closely and within the context of the bucolic tradition but without reference to any kind of contemporary context. In doing so, Yelena Baraz explores questions about the working of tradition in Latin poetry, but als

A Practical Approach to Trauma: Empowering Interventions helps clinicians develop effective therapeutic skills and provides guidelines for delivering trauma-focused and empowering interventions. Taking a practitioner's perspective, Priscilla Dass-Brailsford focuses on practical application to increase clinical understanding of extreme stress and violence. The psychological and behavioral consequences of trauma are viewed as expressions of pain and efforts to cope with unacceptable environmental demands and stressors. Responses to traumatic experiences are not necessarily viewed as pathological but instead grounded in cultural systems of meaning-making. Dass-Brailsford discusses how the practitioner's responsibility is to locate and utilize the strength and resilience inherent within individuals, families, and communities impacted by trauma to empower them toward healing and recovery. The author's practical, skill-building approach is taken from her many years of working in the trauma f

The Least of These is about God-given spiritual authority, imparted to believers to speak life over their children, even those not yet born, and by doing so, affecting many generations to come. Based on the Bible, this book contains effective prayers and decrees that can be spoken over your children from the point of conception to adulthood. This revelation is designed to lift the faith of believers to embrace a higher appreciation for the authority they have to speak destiny over their offspring in agreement with God's Word. Every parent, every grandparent, every great-grandparent needs a copy of this book. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:15-16

The field of forensic psychology has traditionally been associated largely with forensic mental health evaluations prepared for consideration by courts and other entities, and far less attention has been paid to the development and dissemination of services and interventions that may be informed by such assessments. As a result, the majority of practitioners do not know how to go about pursuing such professional opportunities. Responding to this need for more community-based services for justice-involved individuals and the lack of coordination, The Path Forward presents a detailed survey of different focus areas of professional forensic practice within community settings. These projects and psychological services are creative, expand boundaries, and offer a roadmap and a vision for the future of these areas as well as broadening awareness of what these services and projects are actually providing. Covering the domains of assessment, intervention, consultation, and education, and writt

At the turn of the twentieth century Colorado's coalfields were the site of the nation's most violent labor conflicts. The remote mountains were home to mining companies that provided workers and their families with supervised housing, education, health care, and stores. Resisting corporate control, workers deployed armed bands against their employers, leading to a pitched battle between the groups for control over the workplace. Efforts to defuse the situation, including strategies that had worked in other industries, all failed. In this book, Maria E. Montoya examines two key figures who practiced rival Progressive reforms for resolving these industrial conflicts. John D. Rockefeller Jr. used paternalism and philanthropy to promote the scientific management of his workers' professional and personal lives. Josephine Roche advocated for worker autonomy, collective bargaining, and government-backed labor protections. Both honed their Progressive ideals in New York City and transported t

Of all the characters in the Hebrew Scriptures, none have captured the imagination like David, King of Israel. The Oxford Handbook of King David traces this fascination, from the biblical books of Samuel and Kings, through the common era, the medieval period, and into today. The authors interrogate David in his many biblical guises, including son, father, outlaw, soldier, lover, and king. Authors also situate him amongst a wider cast of characters, including Bathsheba, Solomon, Abigail, and Abner. David's presence in the wider Hebrew Bible and New Testament is also carefully considered along with David's reception in later Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Crucially, this Handbook also delves into the depiction of David's story in the visual, literary, and performing arts over the centuries. His legacy and stories are traced from the paintings of Rembrandt and Rubens, to the sculpture of Bernini, to the music of Handel. Other contributions explore David's literary afterlife, revealing

The Oxford Handbook of Brazilian Cinema brings together innovative chapters that address a wide range of topics relating to cinema and cinema culture in Brazil. Including chapters that focus on the reception and production of films and on how global trends in filmmaking have shaped Brazilian cinema's practices, this Handbook moves beyond a geographically specific notion of national cinema, to ask not what is Brazilian cinema but, rather, what is cinema in Brazil? This question is developed in three sections, "histories," "spaces," and "genres and media." Chapters in the section "Histories" explore diverse trajectories of Brazilian film culture and practices, including film criticism, archival endeavours, black filmmaking and films made during the Covid pandemic. The impact of historical contexts is explored in a conversation with women filmmakers, which delves into the devastating effects of far-right president Jair Bolsonaro on production from a female perspective. The section "Spaces

Across global queer activism and literature from the social sciences and humanities, the impact of empires on the regulation of sexuality and gender is an emergent theme. While there has been a considerable focus on British colonial criminal law, there is a need to investigate and compare the diverse forms of power and control adopted across the histories of European empires. In Colonialisms and Queer Politics, Sonia Corr獪, Gustavo Gomes da Costa, and Matthew Waites provide a groundbreaking comparative analysis of empires and colonialities with respect to sexuality and gender diversity. Including contributions from an international team of authors, chapters focus on eleven empires: Portuguese, Spanish, British, French, Dutch, Ottoman, Russian, Belgian, German, Italian, and United States. Starting from the fifteenth century, authors explore how colonial racial hierarchies, gender norms, and heteronormativity structured relations between colonizing and colonized societies. The chapters r

The Oxford Handbook of Ballet Pedagogy offers a comprehensive exploration of contemporary perspectives on teaching and learning ballet, emphasizing the embodied nature of dance and its role in shaping both the student sense of expression and development as an artist. The book positions ballet pedagogy as a dynamic and cross-disciplinary field that transcends traditional separation between practice and theory. It offers a holistic approach that integrates the whole body, identity, and well-being into the learning process. Through five thematic sections-focusing on the whole-dancer, embodied pedagogy, diverse teaching sites, syllabus construction, and ballet as praxis. The volume engages with critical issues such as belonging, access, rigor, syllabus, and excellence within pedagogical practices in the ballet learning space that move beyond the limitations of constructs such as race, gender, and disability. The book challenges entrenched pedagogical hierarchies, offering a vision for the

As people get older, they become more likely to have hearing difficulties in certain situations; for example, having conversations in public settings where there is naturally more noise. This can sometimes lead to isolation, depression, or even fatigue from the effort needed to communicate with others. Clinicians and researchers often do not use standardized outcome measures for hearing interventions that reflect patients' perceptions of real-life improvements. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee of experts to identify a core set of outcomes and corresponding measures that researchers and clinicians should use each time they assess the effectiveness of hearing aids and other treatments in addressing hearing difficulties. The resulting report, Measuring Meaningful Outcomes for Adult Hearing Health Interventions, presents those outcomes and measures, as well as recommendations for promoting their use within the hearing health community.

The classic work that has shaped the field of biomedical ethics, fully updated to include cutting-edge approaches and research. Principles of Biomedical Ethics provides a highly original, insightful, and practical guide to morality in the health professions, health policy, and public health. Acclaimed authors Tom L. Beauchamp and James F. Childress thoroughly develop and advocate for four principles that lie at the core of moral reasoning in health care: respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice. Drawing from contemporary research - and integrating detailed case studies and vivid real-life examples and scenarios - they demonstrate how these prima facie principles can be used to address various conflicts and dilemmas, from how to deliver bad news to the decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatments.Ideal for courses in biomedical ethics, bioethics, and health care ethics, the text is enhanced by hundreds of annotated citations, along with key terms and

Archaeological research on islands has made significant contributions to our understanding of human cultural development, with aquatic resources and maritime adaptations being increasingly recognized as having had profound effects on human evolution, worldwide dispersals, and the development of social complexity. Once thought to be marginal habitats for humans--lacking in many of the necessary dietary and raw material requirements for societies to thrive--recent research in island and coastal regions around the world has shown this to be false. In fact, the opposite appears to be true in many cases, where aquatic resources were plentiful, highly nutritious, and relatively easy to harvest. The Oxford Handbook of Island & Coastal Archaeology is the first volume to synthesize major topics in the subfield of island and coastal archaeology on a truly global scale, including methodological and theoretical advances that have positioned the subfield as central to archaeology, history, and hist

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a relatively new manufacturing technique that has gained significant industrial interest. AM is a key low-carbon manufacturing technology incorporating net-shaping whilst avoiding complex process chains. This manufacturing technique is appealing for a variety of applications, including aerospace, oil, gas, marine, automotive, biomedical, and nuclear, due to advantages such as component design freedom, component complexity, light weighting, toolless nature, part consolidation, and decreased material waste. To overcome the performance limitations and to take advantage of the alloy design opportunities provided by AM technology, a new generation of alloys suitable for AM is needed. In addition to this, optimising process parameters and microstructure evolution during AM can lead to improved mechanical, corrosion, fatigue, irradiation, and wear properties, amongst other benefits. With a view to select the best a

With the 1987 publication of Reconstructing Womanhood: The Emergence of the Black American Woman Novelist Hazel Carby produced a groundbreaking cultural history of nineteenth-century African American women, and an unapologetic black feminist intervention. The work proved that literature was itself a key site for the development of cultural and political ideas that would come to dominate later thinking. The women whose lives and work are here documented, celebrated, and commemorated refused to be intimidated or silenced by a nation that sought to exploit their labor and reproductive power, and to deny their humanity. Reconstructing Womanhood proved an excoriating critique of the era's focus on "great men" in African American literary and cultural criticism that obscured the work of their female contemporaries. It revised the period of Jim Crow and Booker T. Washington, depicting a time of fervent cultural and political activity by such figures as Ida B. Wells, Anna Julia Cooper, Frances
