Peculiar People and Loneliness at the Top
Authors: Givens Terryl C. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
Mormons believe they are an elect, covenant people. Persecution, rhetoric of chosenness, and physical isolation, all emphasize blessed distinctness. But Mormons also suffer a history and a psychology of alienation, exclusion, and exile. Derided as unchristian and un-American, they have labored for acceptance even as they emphasize difference.
“No Music in Hell”
Authors: Givens Terryl C. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
Unlike most Christians, Mormons have always loved music and dance. From the Nauvoo Brass Band to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, music has been culturally central. Hymnody incorporates some of the very first instances of Mormon cultural expression. Dancing schools were common in early Utah. The church's support for music not directed to a worship function has been slight.
“Fomenting the Pot”
Authors: Givens Terryl C. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
The 1930s and 40s saw an intellectual high point in Mormon history with B. H. Roberts, James E. Talmage, and John Widtsoe. Brigham Young University flourished, but intellectual freedom and academic freedom have conflicted with evolution, “faithful history”, and building the kingdom, resulting in dissent and excommunications. Today, a thriving print culture perpetuates both sides of the tradition.
Improving the Transfer of Explicit Knowledge
Authors: DeLong David W. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
This chapter begins with a detailed explanation of the confusion surrounding different knowledge types. It includes a practical description using one form of knowledge classification, which includes explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge, or know-how. But an argument is made that an overlooked and more useful hybrid concept is the notion of implicit knowledge. The three most common ways that explicit knowledge is likely to be transferred and retained are: documentation, interviews and debriefings, and training. Each section includes detailed implications for action when applying these solutions for knowledge transfer and knowledge retention.
Overcoming Organizational Barriers to Knowledge Retention
Authors: DeLong David W. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
This chapter identifies four sources of problems that promote knowledge loss in organizations by creating barriers to knowledge sharing and knowledge management. It suggests change management strategies for dealing with them. The sources identified are: the fact that no one gets promoted for investing in knowledge retention; poor interpersonal expert/novice dynamics; organizational conflict that undermines knowledge sharing; and the psychological trap of “competing commitments” that creates organizational barriers to action.
From Siberia to North America
Authors: Znamenski Andrei A. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
This chapter outlines several sources of a later rise of popular interest in shamanism. The discussion starts on Siberian regionalist writers and ethnographers, who, in their attempt to shape and underline the unique cultural identity of Siberia, looked into indigenous northern Asian archaic traditions. The focus then shifts to North America's American southwestern regionalists, who worked to ground themselves and their compatriots in soil that was not indigenous to them. Ethnographic books about Native Americans heavily affected the print culture of modern neo-shamanism in the West, so the world of American anthropology is explored and its attempts to capture the traditional cultures of indigenous peoples before their extinction — another project that was informed by German Romantic philosophy — are discussed. The chapter also shows how the shamanism idiom became gradually transplanted from Siberian ethnography to North American ethnology. Finally, a unique group of people — “exiled ethnographers” — is studied.
Shamanism Goes Global
Authors: Znamenski Andrei A. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
The increased attention given to shamanism in humanities studies and in popular culture since the 1960s is usually associated with two names: Mircea Eliade and Carlos Castaneda. Eliade, a Romanian-born philosopher and religious scholar, released Le Chamanisme et les techniques archaiques de l'extase, the first grand treatise on shamanism, which became an academic bestseller after its revised translation was published in English as Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy (1964). Also an immigrant, Castaneda published an experiential novel, The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge (1968), he captivated the minds of numerous spiritual seekers and served as an inspiration for many literary emulators. Eventually, Castaneda became one of the informal apostles of the “New Age” community. This chapter discusses the contribution of Eliade and Castaneda to shamanology and places them in the context of a time that contributed to the rise of interest in shamanism.
Anthropology, Castaneda's Healing Fiction, and Neo‐shamanism Print Culture
Authors: Znamenski Andrei A. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
Carlos Castaneda's first book, The Teachings of Don Juan, and two subsequent texts were described as anthropological accounts, which gave them credibility. Coming straight from the Sonoran Desert, Castaneda's ethnographic accounts could easily appear to readers to be authentic anthropology. The fact that Castaneda refused to specify the identity of his characters brought an intrigue to his plots. Readers of his books were left free to exercise their imaginations or to look around for cultural and individual parallels with Castaneda's characters and settings. Castaneda and Don Juan became attractive cultural and intellectual models, which inspired at least some spiritual seekers to replicate their experiences.
Introduction
Authors: North Michael 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
Recording methods such as photography seemed to offer a new and more immediate method of transcribing sense impressions. They seemed to constitute a new and better form of writing. This introductory chapter describes the impact of this idea on painting from Manet to Duchamp, and on modern literature from Pound to Isherwood. It also describes the appearance of hybrid forms as poetry becomes more self conscious of its visual aspect and painting begins to include alphabetic elements.
Teaching New Religious Movements on the World Wide Web
Authors: Cowan Douglas E. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
This chapter considers NRMs and the Internet from two broad perspectives: (a) new religions on the Web, and (b) the Internet as both a pedagogical tool for teaching about NRMS and a sociological or anthropological research site for the study of NRMs. In terms of the Internet as a research site, the chapter offers some suggestions for the exploration online discussion forums as evidence (or not) of emergent electronic communities. It concludes with a discussion of the Internet as one component in a responsible research and teaching agenda, and suggestions for teaching students how to employ the World Wide Web usefully and responsibly.
Interrupting, Overlapping, Lying, Not Taking “No” for an Answer, and Representing Illegality Differently to Separate Targets in a Stolen Property Case: US v. Prakesh Patel and Daniel Houston
Authors: Shuy Roger W. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
This chapter shows how being inconsistent when representing illegality in cases involving more than one target in the same alleged crime can damage a prosecution’s case. More important, however, is the way this 2002 case in Oklahoma illustrates the dangers to a successful prosecution when the undercover agents block (interrupt and overlap) the target’s words, especially when this is done when the targets appear to be trying to say something exculpatory.
Police Camouflaging in a Purchasing Stolen Property Case: US v. Tariq Shalash
Authors: Shuy Roger W. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
Having recently emigrated from the Middle East, the Shalash family began operating a wholesale grocery business in Kentucky. They followed standard wholesaling procedures, buying stock from manufacturers, from other businesses that were overstocked, or from middlemen entrepreneurs. An undercover agent, posing as a truck driver with loads of stolen goods, used semantic camouflage about how it was obtained and how he got it.
A Rogue Cop and Every Strategy He Can Think Of: The Wenatchee Washington Sex Ring Case
Authors: Shuy Roger W. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
Between 1994 and 2000, a Wenatchee Washington police officer with a warped imagination managed to enmesh 43 adults and 60 children in one of the most bizarre sexual abuse and sex orgy cases in history. He made no tape recording of his interviews with witnesses and he claimed to have destroyed any notes he may have made. His entire evidence of misconduct was the confession statements that he wrote down and had them sign. Based on the alleged verbatim confessions, along with trial transcripts of the targets’ testimony, it was possible to show that he used the conversational strategies of interruption, ambiguity, camouflaging, ignoring “no” responses, scripting, withholding important information, and inaccurately restating what they said.
Descendants of a Faithful Ancestor: Hoi Ek Pisteōs
Authors: Hodge Caroline Johnson 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
This chapter demonstrates that Paul uses the phrases ek pisteos (literally “out of faithfulness”) and hoi ek pisteos (literally “those out of faithfulness”) to create a new discourse of kinship for gentiles in which they spring from the faithfulness of Abraham and Christ. This argument draws upon and contributes to the pistis Christou debate, supporting the subjective genitive (“faith of Christ”, instead of “faith in Christ”) translation of this controversial phrase. The chapter shows that such an interpretation is defensible on at least four grounds: the term ek regularly appears in discussions of kinship both inside and outside of Paul; the term pistis can also be read as relating to notions of ancestry and descent; Paul labels gentiles in terms of their status as brothers “ek pisteos” (Gal 3:7; Rom 4:16); and Paul claims that God justifies the one who is ek pisteōs Iesou (Romans 3:26). In using the phrases ek pisteos or hoi ek pisteos, Paul does not refer to an abstract frame of mind, but engages in an allusive word play by pairing the preposition ek, which in kinship contexts denotes source or origin, with an unlikely object: pistis. In this reading, pistis refers to the faithful characteristics and actions of Abraham and Christ, not to the personal commitments of believers.
Formed after an Image: Procreative God in Romans 8:29
Authors: Hodge Caroline Johnson 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
In Romans 8:29, Paul outlines the relationship between Christ, the gentiles newly in-Christ, and God. Christ is not an ancestor (like Abraham), but a firstborn brother of the same generation as the gentiles, while the gentiles are younger brothers of Christ and are modeled after his image. God is the father of both parties and is a procreative force, much like the power associated with the male seed in both in biblical tradition and in ancient discussions of embryology and conception. The language of being formed or shaped into the likeness of another person or an ideal model is found in discussions of procreation and succession both in biblical texts and in Greek discussions of procreation. For Paul, Romans 8:29 is a perfect description of newly adopted gentiles, who in their new status as adopted sons of God, are now heirs to God's promises.
Altruism and Health: Is There a Link During Adolescence?
Authors: Benson Peter L. , Clary E. Gil , Scales Peter C. 
Published: September 2007

AbstractThe links between prosocial action and health in adolescence have not been a central area of inquiry in the social sciences. Nevertheless, there is a growing body of literature that provides some hint about this intersection. This is partly due to the relatively recent national interest in volunteerism and the forms of it mandated or encouraged by school districts. And a voluminous body of research has documented the relationship of these programs to various indicators of adolescent well-being. Complementing this wave of research is an assortment of studies looking at other forms of adolescent engagement in actions variously labelled as prosocial behaviour, generosity, or altruism. In exploring the linkages between these behaviours and health, this chapter defines adolescent health, synthesizes the published literature, explores a large data set on 6th- to 12th-grade students to address additional empirical issues, and finally recommends new lines of inquiry needed to advance knowledge about the altruism and health relationship.
The Biology of Positive Emotions and Health
Authors: Marques Andrea H. , Sternberg Esther M. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
This chapter reviews existing literature on the biological pathways and mechanisms involved in social interactions and positive emotions and their potential relationship to enhanced health. The first three sections of the chapter focus on the substantial body of research on the neural pathways of affiliative behaviour, maternal-infant bonding, pair bonding, parental care, and some sexual behaviour. The neurobiology of these systems has been largely worked out, and they may also play a role in the neurobiology of positive emotions and behaviours like altruism, spirituality (prayer and meditation), and exercise, where research has only just begun. The final section explains the biology of the placebo effect and hypothesizes that the powerful effects of classical conditioning (learning to associate a certain outcome with a stimulus) may be an intermediate link between positive emotions or behaviour and enhanced health.
Integrating Positive Psychology Into Epidemiologic Theory: Reflections on Love, Salutogenesis, and Determinants of Population Health
Authors: Levin Jeff 
Published: September 2007

AbstractThis chapter seeks to integrate the emerging field of positive psychology into epidemiologic theory. It demonstrates that the putative health effects of positive-psychological constructs, exemplified by altruistic and compassionate love, can be understood in terms of concepts implicit in existing theoretical perspectives on the psychosocial determinants of population health. The discussion is in four parts. First, it is shown how the effects of constructs taken from the field of positive psychology can be investigated and understood in an epidemiologic context. This discussion emphasizes key concepts in population health, including risk status, the natural history of disease, and pathogenesis. Second, a summary is provided of Antonovsky's views on salutogenesis and coherence. These are key components of any metatheoretical discussion of a potentially salutary role of positive-psychological characteristics. Third, important conceptual distinctions are made among the determinants of morbidity, disease, and health in order to clarify existing confusion regarding the impact of psychosocial variables. Finally, an overview is provided of how the putative health benefits of love might be assessed from several popular theoretical perspectives that specify how psychosocial constructs affect indicators of population health. This discussion summarizes how epidemiologists conceive of the psychosocial determinants of morbidity, disease, and health.
Befriending Man's Best Friends: Does Altruism Toward Animals Promote Psychological and Physical Health?
Authors: Dizon Marivic , Butler Lisa D. , Koopman Cheryl 
Published: September 2007

AbstractIn recent decades, researchers in the health and social science fields have begun investigating the psychological and physical health benefits of the human-animal bond, which can be described as a ‘dynamic relationship between people and animals in that each influences the psychological and physiological state of the other’. The strength of the human-animal bond and its positive effects on health and wellness have been demonstrated in a variety of populations, including children, adolescents, the elderly, and the physically and mentally ill. This chapter discusses animal-directed altruism and the origins of the human-animal bond. It provides a brief review of the literature on the effects of pet ownership and attachment, and how befriending animals can promote health and wellness for individuals across the developmental lifespan.
Monogamy, Motherhood, and Health
Authors: Carter C. Sue 
Published: September 2007

AbstractThis chapter discusses recent research with prairie voles, rodents that live in a state of social monogamy similar to that of human beings. Knowledge of the relatively simple brains and neurohormonal processes of these animals helps to explain the origins of the human tendency to form strong, long-lasting social bonds and the emotions that accompany them. The chapter uses the term ‘social monogamy’ to distinguish the concept from that of sexual fidelity, which genetic testing has revealed to be exceedingly rare even in the apparently devoted prairie vole. Social monogamy refers to a way of living that promotes (but does not guarantee) sexual fidelity, shared parental care, and the reinforcement of social and emotional bonds. The chapter's research with prairie voles has identified two hormones — oxytocin and vasopressin — that appear to form the neural underpinnings of the social monogamy system. Interestingly, the physiological and emotional processes involved in social bonding and parental care are very similar to those that ensure wellness and survival (both hormones are important to healthy responses to stress and general coping). Increased knowledge of the ‘social nervous system’ of prairie voles will help us to understand why social support is so critical to human health and longevity. It may also explain why love and benevolence, which she sees as emotional reinforcements of social bonding, have healing powers.
Ancient Supplication
Authors: Naiden F. S. 
Published: September 2007

AbstractThis is the first book-length treatment of supplication, an important social practice in ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Despite the importance of supplication, it has received little attention, and no previous study has explored so many aspects of the practice. This book investigates the varied gestures made by the suppliants, the types of requests they make, the arguments used in defense of their requests, and the role of the supplicandus, who evaluates and decides whether to fulfill the requests. Varied and abundant sources invite comparison between the societies of Greece, especially Athens, and the Roman Republic and Principate and also among literary genres such as epic and tragedy. Additionally, this book formulates an analysis of the ritual in its legal and political contexts.
Rebels Rising
Authors: Carp Benjamin L. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
The cities of eighteenth‐century America were crucial for the coming of the American Revolution. This book focuses closely on political mobilization in colonial British America's five most populous cities, from 1740 to 1780. It particularly examines the Boston waterfront community, New York City taverns, Newport churches and congregations, the elite households of Charleston, and the gatherings outside the Philadelphia State House and State House Yard. Because of their tight concentrations of people and diverse mixture of inhabitants, the largest cities offered fertile ground for political consciousness, political persuasion, and political action. The book traces how everyday interactions in taverns, wharves, and elsewhere slowly developed into more serious political activity. Ultimately, the residents of cities became the first to voice their discontent. Merchants began meeting to discuss the repercussions of new laws, printers fired up provocative pamphlets, and protesters took to the streets. Indeed, the cities became the flashpoints for legislative protests, committee meetings, massive outdoor gatherings, newspaper harangues, boycotts, customs evasion, violence and riots‐all of which laid the groundwork for war. By focusing on some of the most pivotal events of the eighteenth century as they unfolded in the most dynamic places in America, this book illuminates how city dwellers joined in various forms of political participation that helped make the Revolution possible.
The Vital Points of the Bodhisattva Discipline
Authors: Mrozik Susanne 
Published: September 2007

AbstractThis chapter outlines what the Compendium of Training calls the “vital points” of the bodhisattva discipline, demonstrating the centrality of body to the bodhisattva ideal. It includes an analysis of the text's Sanskrit vocabulary for body as well as consideration of what the concept of body meant to a medieval Indian Buddhist audience.
Finding Our Roots
Authors: Johnson Norman A. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
Unlike most of our genes, mitochondrial DNA is transmitted solely by mothers; males are a dead-end for the mitochondria. Evolutionary biologists have determined that the most recent common ancestor of all mitochondrial genetic variants was a woman who lived in Africa about 200,000 years ago. That we can trace back all mitochondrial DNA back to a single female (the mitochondrial Eve) is not a surprise. In fact, it is a simple consequence of population genetics. The location in time and place of this common ancestor does inform us about human demography and evolution. However, genetic recombination coupled with evolutionary forces will cause different genes to vary in their evolutionary histories. The mitochondrial “Eve” did not know the common ancestor of Y chromosomes, “Adam”. In fact, it is likely that the Y-chromosome Adam lived tens of thousands of years after the mitochondrial Eve.
Pluralism, Protestantization, and the Voluntary Principle
Authors: Berger Peter L. 
Published: September 2007

AbstractThis chapter examines the institutional and personal implications of globalized religion, and the relation of these to democracy. Topics covered include the institutional and cognitive implications of religious pluralism; and the “voluntary imperative” concept, which imposes itself whenever religious pluralism predominates. The chapter argues that the relation between pluralism and democracy is complex. One cannot simply say that pluralism is either good or bad for democracy. It will be either, depending on the response to it by both religious and political institutions.
Radical Evil in Liberal Democracies
Authors: Nussbaum Martha C. 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
This chapter addresses the questions: how can modern pluralistic societies solve the problem of radical evil? How can a respectful pluralistic society shore up the fragile human basis of toleration, especially in a world in which we need to cultivate toleration not only within each state, in an era of increasing diversity, but also among peoples and states, in this interlocking world? The chapter argues that part of the solution can be found in Kant's idea of the protection of a vigorous critical culture, together with the freedoms of speech, press, and assembly. The problem cannot be resolved without considering how a liberal state — without becoming an illiberal Rousseauian state — can cultivate emotions that support equal respect and a toleration that is more than grudging obedience to law.
Religious Education in Public Schools
Authors: Stan Lavinia , Turcescu Lucian 
Published: September 2007

Abstract
The place of religion in the Romanian education system is a bone of contention, although religious instruction in public schools remains the churches’ most important accomplishment. The chapter examines how relevant legislation conforms to democratic standards, presents pre‐university religion textbooks used by Orthodox and Roman Catholic children, investigates demands to ban Darwinist theory from biology curricula, and comments on the drive to introduce religious symbols in public schools on a permanent basis.
