Korszakváltás a közlekedésben? A pandémiás helyzet hatásai
Authors: Bauer Béla , Déri András , Miskolczi Márk , Kovács Tamás
Published: February 2025

Tanulmányunk a pandémiás helyzet közlekedésre és – részben – a turizmusra gyakorolt hatásait a Közlekedéstudományi Intézet Stratégiai és Koordinációs Központjának 2020-as kvalitatív és kvantitatív, és 2021-es kvantitatív kutatásának eredményei alapján elemzi, elsősorban problémafelvető, leíró jelleggel. Bemutatjuk, hogy 2020-ban az óvatosság határozta meg leginkább a közlekedési módok választásával kapcsolatos attitűdöket, és azt, hogy a fiatalok kisebb arányban tettek le az autós közlekedésről, mint az idősek, míg a kerékpárhasználók aránya csak az idősek körében nem nőtt jelentősebben.
Harántirányú közösségi közlekedési útvonalak utasszámának meghatározása
Authors: Dr. Szabó Zsombor
Published: February 2025

Hazánk közlekedési rendszere történelmi adottságok miatt sugaras-körutas szerkezetű, ami azt jelenti, hogy a közlekedési rendszer központjából – Budapestről – sugárirányban húzódnak a fő közlekedési útvonalak, amelyeket harántirányban egyéb kapcsolatok egészítenek ki. Megfigyelhető továbbá, hogy az agglomerációs települések lakosságszámának növekedésével a hagyományos településszerkezet a budapesti agglomerációban fokozatosan átalakul, amelynek következtében a térségben a közlekedés iránti igény rendszere átalakul, az itt húzódó harántirányú útvonalak szerepe felértékelődik. Kutatásomban arra keresem a választ, hogy hogyan lehet térszerkezeti adatok segítségével meghatározni ezen harántirányú vonalak utasvonzó képességét. Ehhez példaként Budapest közlekedési rendszerét vettem, ugyanis ebben az esetben hosszú időre visszamenő utasszámadatok érhetők el. Véleményem szerint az itt megfigyelt sajátosságok alkalmasak lehetnek arra, hogy a modellt – bizonyos megkötések mellett – kiterjesszem a közeli városkörnyékre is.
Számszerűsített Térbeli Modell Rendszer fejlesztése a különböző közlekedési beruházások hatásainak optimalizálása érdekében
Authors: Fütyü István
Published: February 2025

A kutatás célja a közlekedési munkamegosztás térbeli vizsgálata,  annak pozitív befolyásolása és várható hatásainak becslése különböző ösztönzők alkalmazása mellett. A munkamegosztás regionális / körzetek közötti hatékonyabb eloszlása mellett a további cél a modal-shift hasonló alapokon történő térbeli vizsgálata és a különböző multimodalitást ösztönző beavatkozások, valamint az innovatív és kooperatív rendszerek alkalmazásának és hatásainak modellezése. Az intermodalitás EU szinten már régóta fokozott és kitüntetett figyelmet kap, továbbá a technológiai fejlődés eredményeképpen a különböző módszertanok is újra értelmezhetőek, azok könnyebben, hatékonyabban és fokozott hasznossággal alkalmazhatóak. Az EU-s közlekedéspolitikai és klímacélok megvalósulása is jelentős mértékben függ az intermodalitás, és az egyes beruházások optimális alkalmazásától, melyhez a térbeli modell rendszer EU-szintű kiterjesztése további hozzáadott értékkel szolgálhat.
A hazai közúti baleseti helyzet vármegyei szintű elemzése
Authors: Ötvös Viktória  , Dr. Pauer Gábor
Published: February 2025

Az EU a tagállamokat arra ösztönzi, hogy a közös célokat nemzeti közúti közlekedésbiztonsági stratégiájuk megvalósításával érjék el, figyelembe véve sajátos helyzetüket, saját igényeiket és lehetőségeiket, és javasolja, hogy a tagállamok a legkedvezőtlenebb területekre összpontosítsák erőfeszítéseiket. Ezek alapján került meghatározásra a hazai stratégiai dokumentum, a Közúti Közlekedésbiztonsági Akcióprogram 2023-2025 jövőképe is: a „Vision Zero” elve alapján 2050-re közel nullára csökkenjen a közúti halálozások, illetve a súlyos sérültek száma is. Az időközi cél a súlyosan sérültek és a közúti halálozások számának felére csökkentése 2030-ig a 2020-as adatokhoz képest. Az ambiciózus stratégiai célok megvalósításához elengedhetetlen a közlekedésbiztonsági beavatkozások megfelelő tervezése és országos szintű koordinációja. A különböző területi egységek (vármegyék) közlekedésbiztonsági tevékenységének stratégiai célokkal való összehangolása, és a megfelelő beavatkozások területeinek azonosítása még hatékonyabbá teheti a prevenciós tevékenységek végzését.

De verbintenisrechtelijke bescherming van de kleine opdrachtnemer. Bespreking van het proefschrift van mr. N.M.Q. van der Neut

Van der Neut onderzoekt in dit helder geschreven en voor de praktijk uiterst relevante proefschrift welke additionele bescherming een ‘kleine opdrachtnemer’ kan ontlenen aan het verbintenissenrecht, boven op de nogal beknopte wettelijke regeling van de overeenkomst van opdracht. Hij zet die additionele bescherming af tegen de vergaande bescherming die de wet aan de werknemer toekent.

Empowering Consumers through Law? Bespreking van het proefschrift van mr. K.E. O’Reilly

Het proefschrift van Kate O’Reilly stelt voor om consumer empowerment te herconceptualiseren. Na een analyse van het concept empowerment en de betekenis daarvan in uiteenlopende vakgebieden, waarbij onderscheid wordt gemaakt in empowerment in vier dimensies, wordt verdedigd om uit te gaan van de ‘disempowered consumer’, dat structureel moet worden gerelateerd aan consumentennadeel. Deze transformatie van het consumentenrecht, waar de huidige gemiddelde consument niet meer het centrale uitgangspunt zou vormen, zou ook niet ten koste moeten gaan van consumentenbescherming, maar hierop moeten voortbouwen.

Worship leader is a person who is responsible for leading praise in worship sessions. The existence of a worship leader has a very important role in the implementation of worship because almost the entire worship process takes place in the responsibility of the worship leader, not only the person who compiles a series of worship, but is responsible for inspiring the congregation to thank God through song, as well as to enter and enjoy God's presence during the atmosphere of worship or praise and worship God. Thus, whether or not the purpose of worship is achieved depends on the conduct of a worship leader in leading worship. Where a worship leader is needed who is able to bring the atmosphere to truly feel the leading of the Holy Spirit in worship so as to help the preacher to convey what is his part in conveying the truth of God's Word. And young teenagers are the next generation of the church or the backbone of the church. Youth need to be trained as much as possible to take part in church services. And in the ministry, youth have a very important role.  Youth ministry determines the future of the Church. However, in GKSI Bacong there are still many young people who are less active and involved in carrying out services in the Church. This PKM aims to facilitate and provide training to young teenagers so that they can be involved and can improve the quality of service in the Church. This PKM was carried out using the training method. During the training, the youth were very enthusiastic and participated in the activities until the end. The youth can understand the material provided. After the PKM is carried out, the teenage youth can apply the material that has been received and carry out with full responsibility and be involved in the service of the Church.

The genetic improvement of sunflower is essential for the selection of adapted genotypes and the expansion of the crop. The aim of this study was to select adapted genotypes using morpho-agronomic characteristics, by means of principal component analysis (PCA), in four environments in the Cerrado of the Central Plateau. The experimental design used was a randomized block design with four replications, evaluating 8 sunflower genotypes in four Cerrado environments, at Embrapa Cerrados (CPAC), at the Plant Genetics Innovation Center (CIGV), at the experimental farm of the University of Brasilia (UnB), and in Cristalina-GO (CRIST). The following characteristics were evaluated: plant height, chapter diameter, grain yield and weight of a thousand achenes. The data obtained was submitted to the R program, a multivariate analysis was carried out using the PCA method and the means were grouped using the Scott-Knott test at 5% probability. The results of the PCA for the environments in relation to the morpho-agronomic characteristics show that the correlations between the variables indicated the existence of significant interactions between them. Among the genotypes, SYN 045 stood out in all the environments for yield, and for almost all of them for height, showing genetic superiority. The BRS G323, G57 and G46 genotypes also stood out in terms of height and weight of a thousand achenes, especially in the CIVGV, UnB and CRIST environments. The genotypes evaluated showed wide genetic variability, establishing their potential for integration into sunflower breeding programs. The most outstanding genotypes were SYN 045, BRS G323 and G57.
Accounting for the unaccounted: Examining linguistic diversity in the classroom and the communicative experiences of dual language learners in the United States
Authors: Reyes Chin R. , Limlingan Maria Cristina , Rumper Brooke
Published: February 2025

Communication-rich early learning environments are essential to preschoolers’ language and social development but there is limited information about what happens to their communicative experiences when they are in classrooms that are comprised of preschoolers who are learning simultaneously other languages, in addition to English (i.e., dual language learners or DLLs). Employing a time sampling technique, the present study explores how linguistic diversity in the classroom, measured by the Simpson’s index, can promote or hinder verbal, nonverbal, and paraverbal communicative experiences of both DLLs and non-DLLs. Findings revealed that in more linguistically diverse classrooms both DLLs and non-DLLs displayed less positive affect in general, and teachers displayed less attunement to both DLLs and non-DLLS, albeit in different ways. Moreover, in more linguistically diverse classrooms, DLLs displayed less engagement in classroom activities than did non-DLLs, and non-DLLs were observed to interact less with DLLs than with non-DLLs. Directions for the potential of using a more nuanced way to measure linguistic diversity and an observational tool to capture a broader, holistic view of communicative experiences of children in the classroom are discussed, as are implications for research, practice, and policy.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Adolescence can represent a phase of vulnerability, due to the numerous changes in this stage, exposing adolescents to risky behaviors. Among these risks are smoking, teenage pregnancy, and mental disorders. Thus, it is necessary to develop more effective health promotion strategies aimed at this public, and primary health care is an ideal scenario for this development, due to the possibility of creating strong bonds between communities and health professionals at this level of care. Objective: To structure an action plan for health promotion among young people and adolescents in primary health care. Material and Methods: This is a research that involves the elaboration of an integrative review, the development of a soft technology, the production of an action and intervention plan in a community of adolescents and young people in Apucarana, in the north of Paraná. Results: The results found in the integrative review helped to support the realization of the workshop "Eu Me Cuido!". Based on conversation circles with the health unit team, strategies were defined for the organization and planning of a workshop for health promotion among young people in the community, focusing on smoking, family planning and mental health. In addition, an Instagram account (@eumecuido.sa) was created to continue the dissemination of content. Final considerations: The involvement of young people and adolescents in actions aimed at changing behaviors in the long term, the greater engagement of the population with the actions of the community and the greater approximation of the health unit with its public demonstrate that the objectives proposed for this study were achieved.

The article presents a new methodological approach as an innovative tool, highlighting the importance of public procurement for innovation (CPI) as an essential strategy to promote innovation in the public sector (ISP) and face complex challenges. The research is practical and applied, supported by a literature review. The mixed approach combines qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology in training public servants to participate in innovative procurement calls. The research is based on benchmarking of global practices, technological prospecting, and trend mapping, demonstrating the application of the methodology in the case of intrapreneurship. The results show that the proposed methodology not only improves CPI practices but also promotes a culture of innovation and collaboration between public agencies and partners. In addition, it identifies barriers and suggests directions for future studies, highlighting the strategic role of CPI in strengthening public management.
Millennials: the generation of transition towards an emerging world
Authors: Robles Castañeda Vivian
Published: February 2025

The aim of this paper is to present the first chapter of the doctoral thesis (in progress) “Musiquear y convivir; estudio en millennials de la Ciudad de México” (Making music and living together; a study of millennials in Mexico City), which seeks to investigate the role of musical experience (practices and meanings) in the communicative exercise (of thoughts, feelings, emotions, existential dilemmas) of this generation in the country's capital.In this first chapter, entitled “Millennials: the generation of transition towards an emerging world”, the millennial category was extensively developed, placing it in current contexts, both globally and locally. In this way, and under the premise that the historical moment in which we find ourselves is that of “a world that cannot yet be named”, due to the dizzying and constant technological advances that have a superlative interference in social dynamics, four sub-sections were developed: 1) a brief review of the history of the 20th century in order to trace the impact of the “capitalist path” on its societies and in its different generations, as well as its links with the musical experience, 2) the treatment of the “millennial” category itself through a dialogue between authors that allowed it to be positioned as a “subject of transition”, 3) an exposition of the challenges of a world in crisis (of time, of otherness, of listening, etc.), 4) notes on the country and Mexico City (highlighting the events with the greatest impact on the generation, as well as a brief review of the music industry and experience).
When misogyny dresses up in colors: expressions of gay men on social media in the context of 8M in Mexico
Authors: Rojas Enrique Bautista
Published: February 2025

Introduction: In recent years, digital social networks have allowed for the visibility and organization of the feminist struggle, particularly around the marches on March 8th. However, anti-feminist discourses have also proliferated in this space, including those coming from some gay men. The central question of the research is how these subjects express themselves on social networks with regard to the feminist movement and analyzes their comments in the context of 8M 2023.Development: The study is based on a qualitative analysis of social network posts made by Mexican gay men. Two types of reactions are identified: the first shows rejection of feminism through mockery, disqualification and arguments that minimize the feminist struggle; the second, in which other gay men criticize these misogynistic positions within their own community. Through the analysis, it is evident that some homosexual men reproduce heteronormative and patriarchal patterns, promoting discourses of cybermisogyny.Conclusion: The study reveals that misogyny is not exclusive to heterosexual men and that certain gay men perpetuate patriarchal attitudes. The presence of hate speech on digital social networks highlights the need to reflect on the intersection between the feminist struggle and the LGBT+ community, as well as the importance of internal self-criticism to eradicate sexist behavior.
Micropolitics and Technoscience: Glimpsing the challenges of contemporary social and political theory
Authors: Sánchez López Diana Michell
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Contemporary techno-scientific transformations have modified fundamental concepts in social and political studies. In the face of these changes, the need arose to expand the theoretical and methodological tools for analyzing the influence of techno-science on the organization of society. The research focused on the limitations of traditional political theory and the need to consider new approaches such as micropolitics.Development: Gilles Deleuze described the transition from disciplinary societies to societies of control, characterized by mechanisms of surveillance and continuous access to information. In this new context, technoscience emerged as a phenomenon that transformed the relationship between individuals, knowledge and power. Bruno Latour and Javier Echeverría identified different stages in the evolution of technoscience, from its links with military interests to its expansion into everyday life. Technoscience generated new spaces for interaction, promoted the development of communication networks and altered the way in which individuals relate to the digital environment. Given that these changes could not be explained with traditional tools, a distinction was proposed between macropolitics and micropolitics to address these complex dynamics.Conclusion: Societies of control overwhelmed traditional structures of analysis, requiring new theoretical tools. Micropolitics allowed us to understand the influence of technoscience and digital devices in the construction of new subjectivities and power relations.
Sorority through the screen: weaving networks of care between women through Facebook groups
Authors: Figueroa López Noelia
Published: February 2025

This study analyzes the dynamics of interaction, emotional bonds and acts of sisterhood within a Facebook group of women who post their concerns and situations that require support from other women to establish possible solutions. The objective is to investigate how these women establish and maintain relationships based on trust and empathy in a digital environment, where anonymity becomes a key tool to promote a safe and supportive space. Through digital ethnography, we investigate the recurring themes that users share, how affective relationships develop within the group, and the impact of anonymity on the search for counseling. We also examine the community care strategies that promote sisterhood and protect participants, exploring how these practices influence the establishment of bonds and collective solutions to common social problems.The results reveal that anonymity allows for greater emotional openness, facilitating the development of deep and genuine affective relationships. Practices of sorority are manifested in empathy and mutual support, and are strengthened through community care strategies that guarantee an environment of respect and safety. However, challenges are also identified, such as conflict management and the need to maintain trust in an environment where anonymity is used.

Dette nordiske tema fokuserer på forskellige aspekter af mundhygiejnens betydning for opretholdelse af oral sundhed. Caries, gingivitis og parodontitis kan kontrolleres ved tiltag over for fælles risikofaktorer. Inden for tandplejen er motiverende samtale den mest anvendte model til adfærdsændring på individniveau. Desuden kan teletandpleje på sigt blive en supplerende strategi til kontrol af caries og parodontale sygdomme. Følgende tiltag kan bidrage til bedre mundhygiejne gennem plakreduktion: grundig tandbørstning med elektrisk eller manuel tandbørste, interdental rengøring med mellemrumsbørster fremfor tandtråd. Fluorid i diverse udgaver modvirker caries ved at reducere progressionshastigheden.

Cetinska kultura je bez sumnje najznačajnija tekovina ranog bronzanog doba na području istočnog Jadrana i jedna od  najautentičnijih kulturnih cjelina u praistoriji zapadnog Balkana uopšte. Najveći broj nalazišta ove kulture koncentrisan je u Dalmaciji i u srednjodalmatinskom zaleđu, te se taj prostor može s pravom smatrati njenom primarnom teritorijom. Otkrivanjei proučavanje Cetinske kulture na tom njenom primarnom prostoru u velikoj mjeri su vezani za ime Ivana Marovića, vrsnog i neumornog istraživača kome smo kao znak osobitog poštovanja nedavno posvetili studiju u kojoj se, takođe, razmatraju pitanja vezana za problematiku odnosa Cetinske kulture i njenog zapadnobalkanskog zaleđa.
Iron Marshalltowns of the Balkans — Ethnography of an Archaeological Community
Authors: Babić Staša
Published: February 2025

Archaeology is an investigation into human affairs as reflected in artifacts, and archaeologists participate in the formation of the notions of the past, our origins and identities, founding their inferences upon the vestiges of material culture. On the other hand, archaeologists in their practice inevitably use specific artifacts, in this manner forming their own set of materialculture, itself also a possible subject to investigation by archaeological means and tools. This challenging and “tantalizing possibility” of “turning of our methods back on to ourselves may offer a fresh angle in the ongoing reconsiderations of the craft of archaeology.
Rano srednjovjekovna nekropola Kicelj kod Tuzle
Authors: Bakalović Mirsad
Published: February 2025

Područje grada Tuzle je zbog svog prirodnog bogatstva - soli, kao i povoljnog prirodno-geografskog položaja, još u prethistorijskom dobu privlačilo čovjeka da se na njemu trajno nastani. 0 tome govore brojni otkriveni arheološki nalazi u samoj Tuzli, kao i njenoj bližoj i daljoj okolini. Arheološki ostaci pripadaju raznim vremenskim periodima: prethistorija, antika, srednji vijek. Svakako najznačajnija su neolitska nalazišta u Gornjoj Tuzli i strogom centru grada Tuzle. U Gornjoj Tuzli  otkriveno je najstarije neolitsko naselje u Bosni i Hercegovini, a u Tuzli jedno od najvećih i najstarijih neolitskih sojeničkih naselja u jugoistočnoj Evropi. Za oba naselja veže se prvobitna proizvodnja soli, koja kao i kontinuitet života, traje sve do  danas. U aprilu 1992. godine, prilikom kopanja rovova za odbranu grada Tuzle od neprijateljske agresije na Bosnu i  Hercegovinu, na brdu Kicelj, koje se uzdiže iznad centra grada, otkrivena je nekropola. Tom prilikom, zbog ratnih dejstava, dio grobova je oštećen, a samo otkriće nekropole nije prijavljeno, već je i zaboravljeno. Kako je vrijeme odmicalo, zahvaljujući atmosferlijama i pojavi klizišta na lokalitetu Kicelj, u profilu iskopanih rovova pojavili su se ostaci skeleta. Ti ostaci su zainteresovali Tahira Abdulića, koji živi neposredno uz nekropolu, da otkopa jedan od grobova i tom prilikom uz skelet je  pronašao i dva para bronzanih naušnica. Gospodin Abdulić je naušnice predao Mirzi Mukiću, novinaru lista Front Slobode, a on ih je ustupio Muzeju istočne Bosne Tuzla.

Refuge in Crestone
Authors: Raverty Aaron  Thomas
Published: February 2025

As globalization proceeds at an ever increasing and more unrelenting pace, relations among the world’s religions are taking on both a new visibility and a new urgency. Christian theologians and others intent on innovative formulations in the theology of religions are making interreligious dialogue with non-Christians a priority. One way to promote creative scholarship in this quest is to tap into interdisciplinary resources, and the author of this volume is uniquely qualified to do so since he holds graduate degrees in both theology and cultural anthropology. Refuge in Crestone: A Sanctuary for Interreligious Dialogue elucidates how the praxis of interreligious dialogue, as outlined in key Vatican documents in the Catholic Church, could be better served by attending to the qualitative ethnographic methods of sociocultural anthropology. Because the material, behavioral, and cognitive aspects of dialogue—as revealed in daily life, common social and political action, religious experience, and theological exchange—are embedded in culture, they are amenable to ethnographic analysis. Using the unique, multi-religious Colorado site of Crestone and its environs as a fieldwork “laboratory” and self-described “Refuge for World Truths,” the ethnographic data gleaned from this project exemplify the creative interdisciplinary contributions of anthropology to theologizing. It seeks to demonstrate, using an empirical, multi-religious community as its focus, how anthropology can support interreligious dialogue. The results of such dialogue could not only assist the scholarly community by helping theologians arrive at new formulations in the burgeoning area of the theology of religions, but might also serve the more practical goal of promoting peace—as an alternative to violence—in today’s complex and sorely troubled world.
The Freedom of Peaceful Action
Authors: Hayashi Stuart K.
Published: February 2025

The Freedom of Peaceful Action is the first installment of the trilogy The Nature of Liberty, which makes an ethical philosophic case for individual liberty and the free market against calls for greater government regulation and control. The trilogy makes a purely secular and nonreligious ethical case for the individual’s rights to life, liberty, private property, and the pursuit of happiness as championed by the U.S. Founding Fathers. Inspired by such philosophic defenders of free enterprise as John Locke, Herbert Spencer, and Ayn Rand, The Nature of Liberty shows that such individual rights are not imaginary or simply assertions, but are institutions of great practical value, making prosperity and happiness possible to the degree that society recognizes them. The trilogy demonstrates the beneficence of the individual-rights approach by citing important findings in the emerging science of evolutionary psychology. Although the conclusions of evolutionary psychology have been long considered to be at odds with the philosophies of individual liberty and free markets, The Nature of Liberty presents a reconciliation that reveals their ultimate compatibility, as various important findings of evolutionary psychology, being logically applied, confirm much of what philosophic defenders of liberty have been saying for centuries. Moreover, proceeding from the viewpoint of Rand, this work argues that the structure of society most conducive to practical human well-being is commensurately the most moral and humane approach as well.

The trilogy’s first installment, The Freedom of Peaceful Action, focuses on the secular, philosophic foundation for a society based on individual rights. Starting from a defense of the efficacy of observational reason against criticisms from Immanuel Kant and Karl Popper, it demonstrates how a philosophic position of individual liberty and free markets is the logical result of the consistent application of human reason to observing human nature. This installment demonstrates that any political system that wishes for its citizens to thrive must take human nature into account, and that an accounting of human nature reveals that a system of maximum liberty and property protection is the one must conducive to peace and human well-being.
The Intersection of Star Culture in America and International Medical Tourism
Authors: Jackson Kathy Merlock , Payne Lisa Lyon , Stolley Kathy Shepherd
Published: February 2025

Celebrity culture, health care, and travel attract attention in America’s media-saturated society. These worlds curiously intersect in the study of medical tourism. Although the US touts some of the finest and best-known medical facilities in the world, many jet-setting A-list celebrities, who can well afford the finest of health care, seek treatment far away from home, popularizing international sites, physicians, and procedures. These travelers, whose every move is chronicled by the media, both reflect and influence health care concerns in America. An analysis of these high-profile cases of celebrities with both life-threatening and non life-threatening conditions sheds light on the link between medical tourism and celebrity, showing how health care and entertainment intersect, and the American public responds.

The Intersection of Star Culture in America and International Medical Tourism: Celebrity Treatment argues that celebrity cases and media content drive awareness of medical tourism among Americans at a time when the medical system is under intense scrutiny. By popularizing international sites for treatment, procedures not available in the US, and different approaches to patient care, media narratives present options for health care, triggering dialogue on one of America’s most important human welfare issues.

“I no sooner perceived myself in the world,” wrote English philosopher John Locke, “than I found myself in a storm.” The storm of which Locke spoke was the maelstrom of religious fanaticism and intolerance that was tearing apart the social fabric of European society. His response was A Letter Concerning Toleration (1689), arguably the most important defense of religious freedom in the Western tradition. In God, Locke, and Liberty: The Struggle for Religious Freedom in the West, historian Joseph Loconte offers a groundbreaking study of Locke’s Letter, challenging the notion that decisive arguments for freedom of conscience appeared only after the onset of the secular Enlightenment. Loconte argues that Locke’s vision of a tolerant and pluralistic society was based on a radical reinterpretation of the life and teachings of Jesus. In this, Locke drew great strength from an earlier religious reform movement, namely, the Christian humanist tradition. Like no thinker before him, Locke forged an alliance between liberal political theory and a gospel of divine mercy. God, Locke, and Liberty suggests how a better understanding of Locke’s political theology could calm the storms of religious violence that once again threaten international peace and security.

Caddo Connections
Authors: Girard Jeffrey S. , Perttula Timothy K. , Trubitt Mary Beth
Published: February 2025

Drawing on the latest archaeological fieldwork, Caddo Connections looks at the highly dynamic cultural landscape of the Caddo Area and its complex interconnections and exchanges with surrounding regions.

The authors employ a multiscalar approach to examine cultural diversity through time and across space within the Caddo Area. They explore how and why this diversity developed, consider what allowed it to stabilize during the Mississippian period, and analyze changes following contact between historic Caddo peoples and Europeans. Looking beyond individual river valleys to the broader macroregion, they also address the linkages connecting the Caddo Area with the Southeast, southern Plains, and Southwest.

Marilyn Monroe Day by Day
Authors: Rollyson Carl
Published: February 2025

From hefty biographies and fact-based novels to photograph collections and memoirs, more books have been written about Marilyn Monroe than any other female over the past century. However, no biography—regardless how authoritative—can contain all of the facts and events of an individual’s life, and Marilyn’s is no exception.

In Marilyn Monroe Day by Day: A Timeline of People, Places, and Events, Carl Rollyson provides a documentary approach to the life and legend of this singular personality. With details of her childhood, her young adult years, her ascent to superstardom, and the hour by hour moments leading to her tragic early death, this volume supplements—and, in some cases, corrects—the accounts of previous biographies. In addition to restoring what is left out in other narratives about Marilyn’s life, this book also illuminates the gaps and discrepancies that still exist in our knowledge of her. Drawing on excerpts from her diaries, journals, letters, and even checks and receipts—as well as reports of others—Rollyson recreates the day-to-day world of a woman who still fascinates us more than fifty years after her death.

In addition to the calendar, Rollyson also profiles important figures in Marilyn’s life and includes a brief biography of the actress, providing a context for the timeline. An annotated bibliography of books and websites highlights the most reliable sources about Marilyn. With its vivid recreation of the key events in her life, Marilyn Monroe Day by Day is the perfect book for fans who can’t get enough of this cultural icon.

Feedback
Authors: Harison Casey
Published: February 2025

In Feedback: The Who and Their Generation, historian Casey Harison offers a cultural and social history of one of the most successful bands of the 1960s British Invasion. In this historically sensitive account of the superband’s impact during its first decade, Harison describes the key role played by The Who in the formation of the “Atlantic Generation” of rock ’n’ roll fans. When the band first burst onto the scene, they quickly established their reputation for amping up the volume, pushing distortion effects (feedback), and destroying instruments on stage at the end of performances. If The Who did nothing else for their generation, they would have easily secured a place in rock ’n’ roll history for high volume, smashed guitars, and kicked over drum sets. Ever since, The Who’s stage antics have achieved iconic status in rock ’n’ roll.

But we should not forget how startling this on-stage violence was and what it signified. Audiences had never experienced music so loud, a band so energetic, and stage destruction so redolent of the frustrations they shared. If anything, who’d have thought the three in combination—with excellent songwriting and studio production—would emerge as a formula for success?

Feedback: The Who and Their Generation begins with the roots of rock music, setting the stage for The Who when its four band members came together in 1964 to produce their most successful work over the next decade. Throughout, Harison looks at the musical and social cross-Atlantic feedback that characterized The Who’s reception and impact. From distorted guitars to “big sound” drum solos, The Who mirrored youth culture—its anger and its frustrations, from the class conflicts of England and Europe to the Vietnam protest movements of the United States. The Who, like no other British Invasion band, assumed a signal role in the transatlantic cultural traffic. From the American music traditions they borrowed—rock, blues, R&B—they transformed and returned to America the very music that served as their source of anger, echoing audiences’ angst while developing enormous fan bases in Europe and America.

Historical Dictionary of the Seventh-Day Adventists
Authors: Land Gary
Published: February 2025

Seventh-day Adventism was born as a radical millenarian sect in nineteenth-century America. It has since spread across the world, achieving far more success in Latin America, Africa, and Asia than in its native land. In what seems a paradox, Adventist expectation of Christ’s imminent return has led the denomination to develop extensive educational, publishing, and health systems. Increasingly established within a variety of societies, Adventism over time has modified its views on many issues and accommodated itself to the “delay” of the Second Advent. In the process, it has become a multicultural religion that nonetheless reflects the dominant influence of its American origins.

This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Seventh-Day Adventists covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on key people, cinema, politics and government, sports, and critics of Ellen White. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Seventh-day Adventism.
