A Vision of America
Authors: Rozell Mark J. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the delivery of George W. Bush’s Second Inaugural Address on January 20, 2005. The terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, transformed Bush’s presidency and established the context for a Second Inaugural Address that differed greatly from his first. It describes Bush’s projection of a bold vision of the United States’ worldwide leadership in promoting human freedom and liberty. In making the call for the expansion of freedom around the globe, Bush was providing a defense of his administration’s military actions in the Middle East and was calling on the United States to embark on an even larger role of international leadership in defense of freedom. The chapter considers Bush’s Second Inaugural Address as his legacy that is largely hinged on his administration’s policies of military intervention abroad.
Joe Biden’s Inaugural Address
Authors: Singh Yuvraj 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents Joe Biden’s Inaugural Address, which stresses unity and empathy and invokes American history to convey that the people of the imperfect American nation should have reason for optimism. Although the overall theme of Biden’s speech is unity, he begins by talking about the January 6 insurrection. Biden affirms at the outset that the inauguration represents the triumph not of a candidate, but of the cause of democracy. Outlining the challenges the American nation would face, Biden emphasizes that there is much to repair, restore, heal, build, and gain. The address affirms Biden’s consideration of the threats to American democracy as not solely the insurrectionists, but also “white supremacy” and “domestic terrorism.”

It sets the process of developing a learning team between the evaluator and MPact, the project’s implementing partner, within the context of the advocacy and human rights evaluation literatures. It also describes how the MPact leadership team, including the evaluator, established the relationships necessary to support their role as mentors and implementing partners.
Canada First, Not Canada Alone
Authors: Chapnick Adam , McKercher Asa 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This book traces the history of Canadian foreign policy from a time when positioning Canada first meant shunning international obligations to the more collective approach that is common today. It highlights key decisions taken and not taken in Ottawa that have shaped Canadians’ safety, security, and prosperity over the last one hundred years. The chapters are organized around the governments of Canadian prime ministers. They begin with an overview of foreign policy during the period. Case studies focused on issues including immigration, environmental reform, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, foreign trade, international development, hostage diplomacy, and wartime strategy illustrate the breadth of challenges that shape Canada’s global realm. Chapters include comprehensive bibliographies based on the latest research. A Beyond the Book case concludes each chapter with an introduction to an additional issue and suggested further reading. Canada First, Not Canada Alone argues that Canada’s national interests have been well served by general policies of diplomatic prudence, compromise, and multilateralism even if in recent years Canadian citizens have often yearned to be leaders on the world stage. Such leadership has been exceptional and, even then, has rarely been undertaken without the support of likeminded allies and associates. Like any country, Canada must look out for its own interests first, but in the modern world it cannot do so effectively without co-operating with other states and non-state actors.

Discovering New Music as a Family
Authors: Huisman Koops Lisa 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter includes many ideas for discovering new music or encountering music together as a family. Each family member will have their own musical preferences, but they can also develop a family musical preference. Listening to global music carries many benefits for children, shared with connections to research. I urge readers to consider making connections to their community when seeking new music. Technology provides a way to make connections to music beyond their community. Music listening might be the gateway to learning to sing or play music that is new to them. Readers can help their families broaden their music listening preferences and palates.
Creating Music, Creating Memories
Authors: Huisman Koops Lisa 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter encourages families to think about musical creativity as something children naturally do. Sometimes children lose or hide this creative impulse, especially if they are told to keep silent or to only play what is on the music page. Engaging in musical creativity can have benefits including musical growth, self-expression, and self-actualization. It is important for adults to provide a creative musical model for their child by making up little songs for family routines, experimenting with music technology together, or creating with found sounds. When adults model musical creativity, either on their own or as part of a family activity, children learn both content and process.
Musicking Through the Day with Toddlers (Ages 12 to 36 Months)
Authors: Huisman Koops Lisa 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Rapid growth and development are hallmarks of the toddler years. Toddlers often sing “little songs.” By becoming aware of these spontaneous songs, adults can reinforce toddlers’ growing musical expression. There are many ways to parent toddlers musically. Including music in daily routines is a way to help make the tasks easier and potentially more enjoyable. Connecting with one’s toddler through music can help the toddler form a secure attachment, which is essential to healthy growth and flourishing. Playing musically with one’s toddler can provide a fun experience for both child and parent or caregiver. Be aware of the ways one can use music to help one’s child develop and express themselves musically (musical parenting), as well as how to use music to accomplish non-musical tasks (parenting musically).
Introduction
Authors: Povich Mark 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces themes that will recur throughout the book, including the ontic conception of scientific explanation, deflationary Carnapian metaontology, normativism, and the enhanced indispensability argument (EIA) for platonism. It shows how the first three positions are consistent with each other and how the normativist can respond to the EIA. In particular, it shows how the EIA is invalid and question-begging against the normativist, for it requires the premise that mathematical concepts refer to mathematical objects, where “refer” and “objects” are understood in metaphysically substantial senses, which the normativist denies. According to normativism, mathematical concepts do not and do not need to refer, in any substantial sense, when they appear in pure mathematical truths.
Introduction
Authors: Laurence Marion 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of how the impartiality norm has evolved over time in UN peace operations, and it introduces the concept of intrusive impartiality. It explains why new ways of practicing impartiality are puzzling, both theoretically and empirically, and it then presents the research question at the heart of the book: how did new ways of practicing impartiality emerge, spread, and become institutionalized in UN peace operations? The chapter goes on to outline the book’s central argument about how changes in peacekeeping practice occur, and to summarize its conceptual, theoretical, and empirical contributions to the literature on peace operations, global security governance, norm contestation, and international practice theory.
Permission from New York
Authors: Laurence Marion 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This is the first of four empirical chapters, and it uses the literature on communities of practice to analyze the ways in which top-down pressures emanating from UN headquarters in New York both contribute to, and inhibit, changes in peacekeeping practice. It starts by conceptualizing UN peace operations as distinct communities of practice that are nested within an overarching, transnational community of peacekeeping practice. Taking top-down theories of change as a starting point, the chapter then examines material, normative, and bureaucratic dynamics within the UN system and it explores their impact on the process by which new practices emerge, spread, and become institutionalized. In doing so, the chapter shows how existing theories of change can be leveraged to develop a better understanding of the interplay between top-down factors and bottom-up drivers of change in UN peace operations.
Our New Social Life
Authors: Kerr Natalie , Kurtz Jaime 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We are wired for meaningful social connection—and live happier and healthier lives with enough of it. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that connection comes easily to us, especially in the modern world where we’re increasingly busy, distracted, and divided. The truth is that connection can be downright hard. This helps explain why millions of people around the world are lonely—or simply want more from their social lives. This book explains exactly why social connection can be so hard. Several key barriers to social connection are introduced, and evidence-based strategies for overcoming them are presented. Some of these barriers are clearly a function of modern life—such as being distracted by our devices, feeling overworked, and living far away from loved ones. Other barriers are more timeless, such as simply not knowing how to connect, misunderstanding the thoughts and feelings of others, undervaluing moments of solitude, and avoiding the sort of vulnerability that creates deep bonds. The book offers actionable, research-based strategies for overcoming the barriers and living a happier, more connected life.
Connection on Demand
Authors: Kerr Natalie , Kurtz Jaime 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We certainly need other people in our lives, but we’re not dependent on them to feel a sense of connection. We can create connection on demand by engaging in practices that boost our inner, subjective sense of connection. The chapter explores strategies that help us increase our sense of connection to ourselves. These include making the most of solitude and practicing self-compassion. This chapter also presents strategies that help us increase our sense of connection to others, even when we’re completely alone. These include practicing mindfulness, cultivating loving-kindness, feeling gratitude, experiencing nostalgia, and transcending the self through nature, awe, and spirituality.
Pioneers in Epidemiology and Public Health
Authors: Rothman Kenneth J. , Huybrechts Krista F. , Murray Eleanor J. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Epidemiology is the basic science of public health, with deep historical roots. Public health has its origin in the first aggregations of people into permanent communities. Supply and treatment of drinking water, removal of waste, and transmission of diseases were basic concerns that motivated epidemiologists to consider the causes of human disease and to implement control measures. This chapter presents vignettes of some notable pioneers in epidemiology and public health, from antiquity to modern times, highlighting their contributions. The importance of research showing the connection between tobacco and health is emphasized, as is the growing importance of social epidemiology.
Types of Epidemiologic Studies
Authors: Rothman Kenneth J. , Huybrechts Krista F. , Murray Eleanor J. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
There are two primary types of epidemiologic study: cohort and case-control. Most other study types are variants of these. Cohort studies identify groups of people who share a common characteristic, and they measure directly the risk or rate of disease in these groups. Randomized trials are cohort studies in which the exposure variable has been randomly assigned. Case-control studies may be thought of as cohort studies in which a control series, sampled from the cohort that gives rise to the cases included in the study, provides key information about exposure so that effect measures may be estimated. Both cohort and case-control studies are generally longitudinal, in that the exposure and disease information refer to different points in time. In contrast, a cross-sectional study uses exposure and disease information from the same point in time.
Dealing with Biases
Authors: Rothman Kenneth J. , Huybrechts Krista F. , Murray Eleanor J. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Two sources of error affect the results of epidemiologic studies: systematic error and random error. Systematic error, also known as bias, is usually considered to fall into three broad categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. Selection bias stems from selective enrollment or participation in a study, resulting in an association between exposure and disease in the study population that differs from the association in the source population. Information bias derives from incorrect information being used in a study. Confounding is a bias that results from an imbalance of a risk factor for disease between exposure categories. In addition to these broad categories of bias, studies are subject to cognitive biases, which are errors in handling and interpreting data. Cognitive biases include confirmation bias, publication bias, and various other phenomena that distort epidemiologic findings.
Random Error and the Role of Statistics
Authors: Rothman Kenneth J. , Huybrechts Krista F. , Murray Eleanor J. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Although traditional statistical teaching has elevated statistical significance testing to be a focal tool for data analysis and interpretation, a better approach is to concentrate on measurement, using point and interval estimates. The P-value function, also called a confidence interval function, corresponds to a graph of all possible confidence intervals for an estimated quantity. A confidence interval is best thought of as a compatibility interval, indicating the degree of compatibility between the study data and a range of possible parameter values. A P-value function can be constructed using the input from a single confidence interval, and the ideal way to interpret a confidence interval is to mentally conjure up the P-value function that fits through a given confidence interval. Doing so avoids the temptation to pigeonhole study results into categories such as “significant” or “not significant”; instead, it encourages quantitative interpretation that is based on the magnitude of the association.
Leadership and Effective Supervision
Authors: Araque Juan Carlos , Weiss Eugenia L. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Chapter 13, “Leadership and Effective Supervision,” explores one of the most challenging tasks for leaders and supervisors: building and maintaining positive working relationships with team members. Effective supervision is cumbersome because employees have their own needs, making general organizational policies and practices somewhat limited. The innovative leader should pay special attention to their employees’ behavior, motivation, and expectations in the workplace. Additionally, the chapter analyzes positive approaches to handling problematic human resource situations with a fair and balanced approach. This chapter also reviews supervisory models and skills applied in the field, explores the supervisor and supervisee roles, and shares coaching and training strategies to improve working relationships and performance in health and human service organizations.
Conflict Resolution and Negotiation Strategies
Authors: Araque Juan Carlos , Weiss Eugenia L. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Chapter 14, “Conflict Resolution and Negotiation Strategies,” explores how difficult it can be to deal with conflict. Most people are conflict-averse and prefer not to deal with disagreements because they can be emotionally charged. The innovative leader sees conflict as a natural part of life and develops negotiation skills and strategies to resolve conflict more effectively. If handled properly, conflict can trigger many positive results. Social architects do not shy away from conflictive situations; instead, they are comfortable tackling interpersonal or organizational issues as early as possible. This chapter also explores stages of the conflict resolution process and how influential leaders can apply several related models to improve working relationships in health and human service organizations.
Understanding, Monitoring, and Managing Financial Statements
Authors: Araque Juan Carlos , Weiss Eugenia L. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Chapter 16, “Understanding, Monitoring, and Managing Financial Statements,” addresses the key financial management areas leaders need to understand, monitor, and manage. The role of the leader is not to have all the answers but to know the right questions to ask so that the team understands the current financial state of the organization, what this means for the future, and what actions need to be decided and executed. This chapter explains multiple financial statements, including the statement of activities, the statement of financial position, and the statement of cash flows. A review of the connection between program outcomes and finance, a discussion of audits and accountability, a review of essential financial calculations, and a discussion of how to use and share financial information with various stakeholders are presented.
Assessing Interventions and Evaluating Programs
Authors: Araque Juan Carlos , Weiss Eugenia L. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Chapter 19, “Assessing Interventions and Evaluating Programs,” outlines the multiple methods to assess interventions with clients and evaluate health and human service programs. The goal of this chapter is not for readers to become formal program evaluators but to better understand and value assessment tools and evaluation methods as crucial elements of the innovation process. Additionally, client and patient monitoring is an essential tool to better understand the impact of our programs and delivery systems when working on improving people’s lives. We expect social architects to apply these evaluation methods as they visualize, formulate, and execute their innovations and foster a culture of evaluation as an integral part of organizational operations.
Breaking the Silence About Unhelpful Patterns and Mental Health
Authors: Arañez Litam Stacey Diane 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The chapter begins with a brief overview of the Asian American diaspora and describes culturally grounded Asian American values such as collectivism, filial piety, saving face, and interpersonal harmony. Next, the challenges shared by many Asian immigrants are presented in ways that contextualize how historical trauma, scarcity mindsets, and values such as hard work, obedience, and sacrifice among Asian American families and communities may have originated. The ways in which historical family stories, and the silence that often surrounds them, contribute to unhelpful cultural scripts and patterns are also discussed. Finally, the chapter validates the importance of addressing the mental health disparities that exist among Asian American communities.
