Bearing False Witness?
Authors: Cowan Douglas E.
Published: June 2024

From Hare Krishna to the Latter-Day Saints, and from Jehovah's Witnesses to the New Age, religious pluralism in North American presents evangelical Protestantism with significant challenges. Declaring newer religious groups cults, aberrant sects, and heretical religions, the Christian countercult movement has warned that these groups represent a threat to society. In ^IBearing False Witness?^R Cowan considers the Christian countercult as a whole, locating it in sociological perspective as an entity distinct from the secular anti-cult. Through his analysis, the author argues that the primary purpose of the countercult movement is to reinforce and repair the Christian worldview when it appears threatened by the advent of alternative religious traditions. This unique analysis of the Christian countercult helps explain why conservative Christian responses to competing religious movements have taken the form that they have in addition to how those responses are carried out.

Unlike the anti-cult movement, which is concerned with removing individuals from cults and returning them to their families, the Christian countercult movement, according to the author, attempts not only to remove cultists from the negative influences of the cults to which they belong, but also to insure that they will join the particular version of Christianity adhered to by the countercultists themselves. Beginning with the countercult's early history, the author provides an historical account of the movement and its present activities. Since the rise of new religious movements, the growing interest in religions imported from outside North America, and the broadening of the religious marketplace continues to grow, understanding the Christian countercult and its presence as a countervailing pressure to these increasingly socioreligious dynamics becomes ever more important.
Beyond Declaring Victory and Coming Home
Authors: Manwaring Max , Joes Anthony J.
Published: June 2024

The political practice of declaring victory and coming home has provided a false and dangerous domestic impression of great success for U.S. unilateral and multilateral interventions in failing and failed states around the world. The reality of such irresponsibility is that the root causes and the violent consequences of contemporaryintranationalconflict are left to smolder and reignite at a later date with the accompanying human and physical waste. This book discusses why it is incumbent on the international community and individual powers involved in dealing with the chaos of the post-Cold War world to understand that such action requires a long-term, holistic, and strategic approach.

The intent of such an approach is to create and establish the proven internal conditions that can lead to a mandated peace and stability—with justice. The key elements that define those conditions at the strategic level include: (1) the physical establishment of order and the rule of law; (2) the isolation of belligerents; (3) the regeneration of the economy; (4) the shaping of political consent; (5) fostering peaceful conflict resolution processes; (6) achieving a complete unity of effort toward stability; and (7) establishment and maintenance of a legitimate civil society. These essential dimensions of contemporary global security and stability requirements comprise a new paradigm that will, hopefully, initiate the process of rethinking both problem and response.
Billy Graham
Authors: Bruns Roger
Published: June 2024

Billy Graham, the high-profile evangelist, author, and founder of the diverse Billy Graham Evangelical Association, is now in his 80s. Yet his popularity is undiminished, thanks to new generations seeking Christian spiritual fulfillment. Graham is the superstar evangelist who has remained untainted by the financial and sex scandals that have plagued his evangelical peers. His movie-star looks, manner, and propriety have made him a role model, and have brought him into close contact with power. He has had a personal relationship with every president since Dwight D. Eisenhower, serving as an unofficial White House chaplain and, to some extent, policy advisor. This balanced biography covers Graham's life and work, his extraordinary accomplishments, and the criticisms he has endured.

It is clear that Graham will be remembered as a tireless crusader for his faith in popular revivals around the world. He has preached in nearly 200 countries, drawing the largest crowds for religious events in history, and made special efforts to reach audiences in Communist countries in Asia and the Soviet Union, which alienated fundamentalists.

Black Unemployment
Authors: Schwartzman David
Published: June 2024

In the post-World War II era, the U.S. government's full employment policy led to rapid mechanization of production by reducing the cost of financing investment. The mechanization of production displaced more blacks than whites because blacks were disproportionately unskilled. In addition, the growth in the import of manufactured goods further reduced the demand for unskilled labor. The author argues that the government should fill the gap with government employment and should discourage imports from developing countries.

A Class of Their Own
Authors: Briggs Dennie
Published: June 2024

Seven million more children will enter our classrooms in the next decade while the number of adolescents will increase by 20%. We will require three million new teachers to instruct this expanding student population. Briggs proposes a program for training children to tutor younger students, thereby freeing up teachers to devote time to students who need more individualized attention and to teach analytic and human relations skills and imaginative uses of technology.

Children are capable and need opportunities to participate in teaching as well as learning. Peer teachers improve their grasp of the subject and younger children learn from those who truly speak their language. The result is a mutually beneficial system for both teachers and children.
Clinton's World
Authors: Hyland William G.
Published: June 2024

No modern U.S. president inherited a stronger, safer international position than Bill Clinton. In 1992, the Cold War was over, and the nation was at peace and focused on domestic issues. Despite this temporary tranquility, Clinton would soon be faced with a barrage of crises, including flare-ups of unrest in the Middle East, ethnic conflict in Yugoslavia, uneasy relations with Japan and China, persistent trouble in the Persian Gulf, the dissolution of the USSR, and disastrous situations in Somalia and Haiti.

In this comprehensive and balanced examination of Clinton's foreign policy—the first such book to cover all the global focal points of his administration to date—William G. Hyland brilliantly shows the effects of combining this confusion with Clinton's unique personality characteristics. His first term was marked, in the author's analysis, by murky policy, unrealistic goals, and the mishandling of several crises. By the end of that term he learned some hard lessons, was able to alter his pattern of response, and reversed himself on some major aspects of foreign policy—all to benefit, in the author's view, the country and the world as a whole.

Consumer Culture
Authors: Goodman Douglas , Cohen Mirelle
Published: June 2024

An engrossing review of the development of global consumerism and its impact on sociological issues.

The phrase "shop till you drop" has become as American as apple pie and the trend does not appear to be slowing.Consumer Culturebegins with the history of the consumer culture, which reveals that our fascination with consuming shows not only the hidden significance of everyday items, such as sugar and fashionable clothing, but also reveals the uniqueness of our way of life.

Consumer Culturealso presents the views of economists and sociologists who see consumption as an expression of freedom. The book covers the social impact of consumption, examining such dubious milestones as physical attacks upon McDonald's and Starbucks, and best sellers that are critical of consumption.

Corporate Strategic Business Sourcing
Authors: Maromonte Kevin
Published: June 2024

Is your company saving money by using outside suppliers? Is outsourcing reliable? As a result, is your company gaining a competitive edge? Or would the company do better by keeping some of the efforts in-house? And how is the performance of outside suppliers and in-house functions measured to facilitate effective sourcing decisions? These are questions the author, a specialist in corporate performance improvement, tackles in this book. The answers are surprising, and the guidance presented will have far-reaching benefits for organizations. He maintains that companies' expectations from outsourcing are not being met, because there is not a methodical approach to measuring and evaluating the performance of sources. By fully assessing the performance of available sources, the best can be selected and the company can benefit long term. Succinctly and comprehensively, Maromonte guides companies step by step through his proprietary techniques for sourcing performance assessment and decision making. His book will be an important, useful resource for senior management and executives, operations managers, finance, purchasing and quality professional, and anyone with responsibility for bottom-line results.

To improve competitiveness in the global marketplace, companies are reducing costs through outsourcing—the purchase of goods and services from suppliers. In many cases, outsourcing is less expensive for companies than producing these goods and services internally. Companies, however, do not always achieve their ultimate goal of competing more effectively. This is because decisions to outsource are primarily based on the promise of lower direct costs, without considering other source performance criteria that also impact costs and ultimately competitiveness.

Corporate Strategic Business Sourcingguides management in selecting the best sources—those that will raise performance to world-class levels and improve competitiveness. To improve sourcing decisions, the concept of the Strategic Business Unit, or SBU, is applied to each source being considered to provide the company with goods and services. Following the SBU approach, similar product and service lines are grouped together in the corporation. As a result quality levels, delivery performance, customer service, and product advancements, as well as costs, are more easily measured and improved. Just as the focus on these five criteria leads to improved SBU performance, the same approach can be applied to enhance the performance of the individual sources of goods and services. This is accomplished by similarily quantifying and improving the quality, delivery, cost, customer service and product advancement performance of the companies' sources, whether outside suppliers or in-house functions.
Counterterrorism
Authors: Gunaratna Rohan Kumar , Steven Graeme Colin Stracey
Published: June 2024

An up-to-date analysis of the wave of terrorism in the post-Cold War era and the ways in which states and societies are responding.

Counter-Terrorism: A Reference Handbookoutlines the threat of terrorism and ways to combat it. Written by two expert insiders in the field, this extensive examination surveys a wide range of diverse terrorist groups from the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) to Al Qaeda. It shows how key trends and patterns in domestic and international terrorism such as suicide bombings require counter strategies and tactics including surveillance and reconnaissance.

Case studies of terrorist organizations in Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Balkans, and the Caucasus, and profiles of terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohommad, alias Mokhtar (The Brain), who masterminded the Al Qaeda attack on 9/11, illustrate the growing network of groups and leaders harnessing the forces of globalization. Finally, the authors suggest lthat no single state can act effectively on its own to confront terrorism--instead, a wide range of strategies needs to be adopted by all.
Daily Lives of Civilians in Wartime Asia
Authors: Lone Stewart
Published: June 2024

In this detailed account of civilian lives during wartime in Asia, high school students, undergrads, and general readers alike can get a glimpse into the often dismal, but surprisingly resilient, lives led by ordinary people-those who did not go off to war but were powerfully affected by it nonetheless. How did people live on a day-to-day basis with the cruelty and horror of war right outside their doorsteps? What were the reactions and views of those who did not fight on the fields? How did people come together to cope with the losses of loved ones and the sacrifices they had to make on a daily basis? This volume contains accounts from the resilient civilians who lived in Asia during the Taiping and Nian Rebellions, the Philippine Revolution, the Wars of Meiji Japan, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

This volume begins with R.G. Tiedemann's account of life in China in the mid-nineteenth century, during the Taiping and Nian Rebellions. Tiedemann examines social practices imposed on the civilians by the Taiping, life in the cities and country, women, and the militarization of society. Bernardita Reyes Churchill examines how civilians in the Philippines struggled for freedom under the imperial reign Spain and the United States at the turn of the twentieth century. Stewart Lone looks at how Meiji Japan's wars on the Asian continent affected the lives and routines of men, women, and children, urban and rural. He also explains how the media played a role during the wars, as well as how people were able to spend leisure time and even make wartime humor. Di Wang uses the public space of the teahouse and its culture as a microcosm of daily life in China during tumultuous years of civil and world war, 1937-1949. Simon Partner explores Japanese daily life during World War II, investigating youth culture, the ways people came together, and how the government took control of their lives by rationing food, clothing, and other resources. Shigeru Sato continues by examining the harshness of life in Indonesia during World War II and its aftermath. Korean life from 1950-1953 is looked at by Andrei Lankov, who takes a look at the heart-rending lives of refugees. Finally, Lone surveys life in South Vietnam from 1965-1975, from school children to youth protests to how propaganda affected civilians. This volume offers students and general readers a glimpse into the lives of those often forgotten.

Indian Fighters Turned American Politicians
Authors: Mitchell Thomas G.
Published: June 2024

The words Indian fighter recall Custer. Indian fighter politician brings to mind Andrew Jackson or William Henry Harrison. Yet politicians who rose to prominence by exploiting their participation in bloody campaigns against Native America were much more common than most Americans realize. This book will bring to light important facts and highlight controversial issues regarding well-known figures from American history and folklore, while situating the questionable actions of these politicians within their historical and political times.

While most people know that Davy Crockett went to Congress and died at the Alamo, few realize that his only previous combat experience was in one conflict during the Creek War, which was more massacre than battle. Daniel Boone was a hunter and frontiersman who waged war against the Indians, but he was also a state legislator. Both Abe Lincoln and Jeff Davis were involved in pre-Civil War battles against Native Americans. How and why did the era of the Indian fighter turned politician begin? Which party was the party of the Indian fighters? Why did the era end just before the Civil War? Mitchell explores this American political phenomenon and reveals how it influenced politics in other nations around the world.

Modern Presidential Electioneering
Authors: Baumgartner Jody C.
Published: June 2024

Presidential campaigns have seen revolutionary changes in the past few decades in the United States and elsewhere. These changes include rapid advances in communications technology and marketing and survey methodology; an increased involvement of non-party groups and campaign professionals in electoral politics; a decreased role for political parties in the recruitment, screening, and nominating of candidates; and dramatic changes in campaign finance laws. While changes in presidential campaigning have not gone unnoticed, analysis of these changes is typically included in general works on presidential campaigns and elections or studied individually.

Baumgartner clarifies what is meant by candidate-centered as it applies to the organization and operation of presidential campaigns and elections. He demonstrates that campaign organizations have become increasingly more central to the campaign effort than party organizations throughout the process of presidential selection, and he shows that what is happening to electioneering practices in the United States is also happening, although still to a lesser extent, in France and Russia.

Nigeria's Diverse Peoples
Authors: Gordon April
Published: June 2024

Exploring the history of ethnic, regional, and religious diversity in Nigeria, this volume traces most of the country's current problems to its colonial exploitation.

Plagued by ethnic divisions, economic inequality, and corruption, Nigeria appears to conform to the stereotypical view that Africa's problems are mostly the result of primitive tribalism. But asNigeria's Diverse Peoplesdemonstrates, most of Nigeria's problems today were set in motion by Europeans during the slave trade and colonial eras.

Focusing on three main ethnic groups (Hausa-Falani, Yoruba, and Igbo) and ranging from precolonial times to independence in 1960 to the present, this breakthrough study portrays a Nigeria now striving to make a unified nation of itself. Offering a fresh understanding not just of Nigeria but of Africa as well, readers will enter the richly complex world of Nigeria's ethnic history.
Northeast and Midwest United States
Authors: Cumbler John T. , Stoll Mark R.
Published: June 2024

An engaging, personalized look at the interplay between people and nature in the northeastern and midwestern United States, from prehistory to the present.

The Northeast and Midwest regions of the United States provide a fascinating case study for the emergent field of environmental history. These regions, with their varied resources, were central to the early economic success of the nation. Consequently, the early industries in these regions altered and depleted the landscape as people changed their locations and occupations. Fishing and whaling on the northeastern coast have given way to tourism and sailing. The great stands of timber around the Great Lakes have been replaced by farms and dairies. The textile mills, powered by the falls of the Piedmont and once yielding wealth, now stand empty.

That humans shape their environment and, in turn, must respond to the consequences is broadly obvious. Using the voices of historical figures, both notable and obscure, this book brings to life the interaction between humans and their environments and illustrates the consequences of those interactions. Part of ABC-CLIO's uniqueNature and Human Societiesseries, this book enables readers to better understand humanity's effect on the environment.

People of the American Frontier
Authors: Dunn   Jr. Walter S.
Published: June 2024

Life on the frontier in the decades before the Revolution was extremely difficult and uncertain. It was a world populated by Native Americans, merchants, fur traders, land speculators, soldiers and settlers—including women, slaves, and indentured servants. Each of these groups depended on the others in some way, and collectively they formed the patchwork that was life on the frontier. Using a wealth of material culled from primary sources, Dunn paints a vivid picture of a world caught up in the winds of change, a world poised on the edge of revolution.

Life on the frontier in the decades before the Revolution was extremely difficult and uncertain. It was a world populated by Indians, merchants, fur traders, land speculators, soldiers and settlers—including women, slaves, and indentured servants.

Using a wealth of material culled from primary sources, Dunn paints a vivid picture of a world caught up in the winds of change, a world poised on the edge of revolution.

In the 15 years preceding the American Revolution, the existence of the frontier exerted a dominant influence on the colonial economy. The possibility of new territory in the West and the removal of the French army offered an enormous opportunity for economic expansion but such prospects were not without risk. Farmers worked endlessly to clear a few scant acres for production. Traders struggled to reach remote areas to bargain with local tribes. Merchants weighted the possibilities for enormous profit with huge risk. Native Americans faced increasing encroachment upon their traditional lands. Women and slaves played a greater role in opening the frontier than many sources have indicated.
Planetary Motions
Authors: Hetherington Norriss S.
Published: June 2024

Students in an introductory physics class learn a variety of different, and seemingly unconnected, concepts. Gravity, the laws of motion, forces and fields, the mathematical nature of the science - all of these are ideas that play a central role in understanding physics. And one thing that connects all of these physical concepts is the impetus the great scientists of the past had to develop them - the desire to understand the motion of the planets of the solar system. This desire led to the revolutionary work of Copernicus and Galileo, Kepler and Newton. And their work forever altered how science is practiced and understood.

Estructuras silábicas en el habla quechua del distrito de Layo
Authors: Condori Pauccara José
Published: June 2024

La sílaba es una unidad fonética más elemental de la cadena hablada y está constituida por un núcleo con o sin margen. En la lengua quechua, el núcleo de la sílaba es la vocal y el elemento marginal es la consonante. Por ello, esta lengua tiene cuatro tipos de sílaba: V, VC, CV y CVC. Los objetivos de estudio son determinar los segmentos y estructuras silábicas más frecuentes en el habla quechua y explicar el número de unidades fonémicas que compone una palabra en el habla quecha de los habitantes del distrito de Layo. La metodología ha recurrido al enfoque cualitativo y cuantitativo, por ende, al método descriptivo y explicativo. El corpus lingüístico está constituido por las expresiones registradas en el cuaderno de campo y las grabaciones que se hizo en la entrevista. Con tal fin, se apeló a la técnica de la observación y la entrevista. Los instrumentos utilizados para el acopio de la información fueron el cuaderno de campo y la grabadora. Los resultados del presente estudio demuestran que la sílaba de tipo ‘V’ y ‘VC’ se presentan generalmente en sílaba inicial de palabra; y las sílabas de tipo ‘CV’ y ‘CVC’ ocurren en cualquier posición de la palabra. Asimismo, no existe una secuencia de vocales dentro de la sílaba ni se forman grupos consonánticos dentro de la misma sílaba. Además, en quechua, las unidades segmentales se clasifican en abiertas y cerradas (la presencia de coda); simples (cantidad de vocales); incompleja y compleja (la posesión o no de consonantes); también en monofonemática y polifonemática (la cantidad de fonemas).
Reduplicación y Lenguas en Contacto: Quechua y Español de Santiago del Estero
Authors: Albarracín Lelia Inés , Gómez Nazar Regina Fernanda , Sosa More Roberto Carlos
Published: June 2024

La repetición íntegra o parcial de una palabra con fines semánticos o gramaticales se conoce como reduplicación léxica, un recurso morfológico ampliamente utilizado en un número sustancial de lenguas en todo el mundo. El objetivo de este artículo es discutir las similitudes y diferencias, con respecto a la reduplicación, entre el quechua hablado en la provincia de Santiago del Estero (República Argentina) y otras variedades cercanas pertenecientes a la misma rama de la familia lingüística quechua. En esta dirección, primero brindamos una definición de reduplicación y luego un resumen de sus características formales y funcionales en las lenguas consideradas. Durante el desarrollo de nuestro trabajo, profundizaremos el análisis sobre reduplicación en el quechua de Santiago del Estero, para comprobar los grados de similitud con otros dialectos quechuas o si, por el contrario, aparecen diferencias de relevancia. En nuestra investigación, trataremos de comprobar si estas características se extienden al español en contacto con el quechua, conocido como “la castilla”; de allí la necesidad de incluir en el análisis comparativo tanto al español actual del bilingüe como al español andino que se habla en la región noroeste de Argentina, un área de sustrato quechua.
