Abstract
As stories, the comedies of Aristophanes appear to bear a general re¬ semblance to one another. The action centers on a protagonist, who achieves, against more or less organized social opposition, a reordering of the world that realizes a fantasy at once personal and collective. In this respect, the earliest of the surviving plays by Aristophanes (Achanians, 425 B.c.), in which Dicaeopolis makes a private peace with the Spartans and then negotiates with his fellow Athenians like the lord of a republic reduced to the dimensions of a single household, is like Aristophanes’ latest play (Wealth, 388B.c.), where Chremylus captures the god of wealth and inaugurates a reign of plenty. There are differences, too: Dicaeopolis is the vehicle, as Aristophanes presents him, for a widespread aspiration for the joys of peace, but his success is purely personal: he agrees to let a few of his fellow citizens in on his prosperity-for a price. Chremylus has a larger vision that embraces the whole society. As for their goals, Chremylus’ is obviously utopian, while Dicaeopolis’ represents a more realistic aspiration, even if his scheme to achieve it is fanciful. But each puts a practical wiliness in the service of a fantastic vision of security and plenty. In this, Acharnians and Wealth are like a number of other Aristophanic comedies, such as Peace (421 B.c.), where Trygaeus liberates the goddess of peace and brings her to earth, Birds (414), Lysistrata (411), and Assemblywomen (392).
Birds
Authors: Konstan David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the opening scene of Birds, which Aristophanes exhibited at the dramatic festival of the city Dionysia in the year 414 B.c., two Athenian citizens, weary of constant lawsuits back home, take off in search of a better, or at all events less litigious, city in which to take up residence.1 They seek out first an odd creature, the former king of Thrace named Tereus, who, legend had it, had been transformed for his sins into a hoopoe.2 The idea is that this hoopoe, knowing what both humans and the soaring birds have seen, is best equipped to point them in the right direction (119). The hoopoe turns out to have established himself as a figure of authority among the birds. Thus Pisthetaerus, the cannier of the two Athenian wanderers, after hearing, and rejecting, a couple of possible sites for relocation, suddenly hits on a different plan: to found a city among the birds themselves. That will be the new, litigation-free community they seek.
Resolution of Prison Riots
Authors: Useem Bert , Camp Camille Graham , Camp George M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The book uses eight diverse case studies of prison riots to explore how the outcomes were affected by policies, procedures, management, communications, and strategy immediately before, during, and after the riot. Exploring the results achieved by negotiation, by force, and by simply waiting, the authors illuminate the factors most important in controlling the costs of damage and human suffering that can result from increasingly common prison disturbances.
Management Jobs in the Insurance Industry:Organizational Deskilling and Rising Pay Inequity
Authors: Scott Elizabeth D , O’shaughnessy K C , Cappelli Peter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The attention of both the research community and the popular press has begun to shift from a traditional focus on production jobs and toward management positions in part because of a perception that fundamental change is underway in the management ranks. Perhaps the most examined issue has been the reduction in job security experienced by managers (Cappelli, 1992). Unlike the temporary layoffs of production workers that were historically driven by business cycles, the changes in management job security seem to be permanent and, in large measure, driven by developments inside the firm (see Pfeffer and Baron, 1988). The most important of these forces appears to be changes in the structure of management and in the organization of work processes.
Human Resources Practices And The Demographic Transformation Of Professional Labor Markets
Authors: Landers Renee M , Rebitzer James B , Taylor Lowell J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Professional occupations are in the midst of an unprecedented demographic transition. The ratio of men to women in professional schools was 23.4 in 1960 but 0.9 in 1988 (Goldin, 1992). This influx of women is not limited to traditionally female occupations. In 1979, women constituted only 10% of doctors, 13% lawyers, and 33% of accountants. Twelve years later in 1991, the comparable figures were: 20% for doctors, 18% for lawyers, and 52% for accountants. These numbers are likely to understate the ultimate change in gender composition. For example, roughly 40% of students in law schools today are female (Rosen, 1992, p. 222).
Wavelets From Filter Banks
Authors: Strang Gilbert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
These notes are an excerpt from the first draft of a new book. The book will begin much earlier in the theory of filters; the notes are from chapter 6! Examples and figures (but not exercises) will be included — those are essential to a clear exposition. We hope that this part of a larger whole — the part where wavelets emerge, bringing with them the crucial properties of the filters — will be helpful to the reader.
Euripides Ion
Authors: Dipiero W S , Burian Peter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One of Euripides' late plays, Ion is a complex enactment of the changing relations between the human and divine orders and the way in which our understanding of the gods is mediated and re-visioned by myths. The story begins years before the play begins, with the rape of the mortal Kreousa, queen of Athens, by Apollo. Kreousa bears Apollos' child in secret then abandons it. Unbeknownst to her, Apollo has the child brought to his temple at Delphi to be reared by the priestess as ward of the shrine. Many years later, Kreousa, now married to the foreigner Xouthos but childless, comes to Delphi seeking prophecy about children. Apollo, however, speaking through the oracle, bestows the temple ward, Ion, on Xouthos as his child. Enraged, Kreousa conspires to kill as an interloper the very son she has despaired of finding. After mother and son both try to kill each other, the priestess reveals the birth tokens that permit Kreousa to recognize and embrace the child she thought was dead. Ion discovers the truth of his parentage and departs for Athens, as a mixed blood of humanity and divinity, to participate in the life of the polis. In Ion, disturbing riptides of thought and feeling run just below the often shimmering surfaces of Euripidean melodrama. Although the play contains some of Euripides' most beautiful lyrical writing, it quivers throughout with near disasters, poorly informed actions and misdirected intentions that almost result in catastrophe. Kreousa says at one point that good and evil do not mix, but Euripides' argument, and what the youthful Ion strives to understand, is that human beings are not only compounded of good and evil, but that the two are often the same thing differently experienced, differently understood, just as beauty and violence are mixed both in the gods and in the mortal world.
An Idea Whose Time Has Come?
Authors: Sherman Joe 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
On the surface it was hard to fathom why the Big 3, with total profits of$13.9 billion in 1994, a workforce of around 600,000 and branches linking their Detroit-based headquarters with dozens of foreign countries, were worried about the struggling EV industry. In 1994, that industry’s four largest independent companies-Solectria in Massachusetts, Renaissance Cars in Florida, Unique Mobility in Colorado, and U.S. Electricar in California-had losses estimated at several million dollars, about 400 employees, and a few agreements with companies and governments in Europe and on the Pacific Rim.
The Anti-Catholic Tradition
Authors: Jenkins Philip 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1993, A Gospel of Shame offered a historical context for the recent “pedophile crisis” in the Catholic church. Authors Elinor Burkett and Frank Bruni discuss the Borgia popes of the Renaissance and some of the legendary Roman orgies of that time, at which “children were passed freely among bishops and priests celebrating Catholicism’s latest triumph with a sexual bacchanalia.”1 Although such references can be difficult to trace in conventional history, the book finds an abundance of “veiled references in historical texts or in the works of novelists mirroring reality,” in revealing fiction like Diderot’s La, Religieuse (The Nun; 1760). Gospel of Shame presents an exceedingly dark view of Catholic history, suggesting that in every era distinctively Catholic doctrines were the product of a cynical raison d’etat and were imposed by naked repressive force.
Mercy, Mercy Me
Authors: Hall James C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book argues that American artistry in the Sixties can be understood as one of the most vital and compelling interrogations of modernity. James C. Hall finds that the legacy of slavery and the resistance to it have by necessity made African Americans among the most incisive critics and celebrants of the Enlightenment inheritance. Focusing on the work of six individuals—Robert Hayden, William Demby, Paule Marshall, John Coltrane, Romare Bearden, and W.E.B. DuBois—Mercy, Mercy Me seeks to recover an American tradition of evaluating the “dialectic of the Enlightenment.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt and American Foreign Policy, 1932-1945
Authors: Dallek Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Since the original publication of this classic book in 1979, Roosevelt’s foreign policy has come under attack on three main points: Was Roosevelt responsible for the confrontation with Japan that led to the attack at Pearl Harbor? Did Roosevelt “give away” Eastern Europe to Stalin and the U.S.S.R. at Yalta? And, most significantly, did Roosevelt abandon Europe’s Jews to the Holocaust, making no direct effort to aid them? In a new Afterword to his definitive history, Dallek vigorously and brilliantly defends Roosevelt’s policy. He emphasizes how Roosevelt operated as a master politician in maintaining a national consensus for his foreign policy throughout his presidency and how he brilliantly achieved his policy and military goals.
Engendering Compassion: Men, Women, and Social Change
Authors: Wuthnow Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When considering the ways in which young people move from primordial to role-specific understandings of caring, we must confront the issue of gender. Young men and young women are about equally likely to experience caring in their families and about equally likely to become volunteers during their teenage years. At the end of this time, they are also about equally likely to say they value helping other people and want to work at something that will make the world a better place in which to live. But the process by which young men and young women gain a new understanding of what it means to care is quite different. Because mothers play a different role in teaching their offspring about caring than fathers do, young people learn early that caring is gendered. Moreover, young women associate caring much more with their changing understanding of themselves as persons, whereas young men are more likely to associate caring with the accomplishment of specific tasks. Thus, some of what I have been arguing about the need to relearn the meaning of caring during young adulthood can be better understood by considering the differences between young men and young women. That, at least, is what I want to demonstrate in this chapter.
Building Character: Vulnerability and Virtue
Authors: Wuthnow Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Asked how she feels about herself after she has been doing volunteer work, Tanika Lane responds, “I feel full inside. I feel joy.” She says she feels this way when people tell her they’ve read one of her essays about drugs in the free newspaper and been touched by it or when people seek her out for advice because they respect her opinion. “It just makes me feel good inside to reach out and help somebody,” she says. “Sometimes it just feels too good to be true.”
Between the Babylonian and Palestinian Talmuds
Authors: Hayes Christine Elizabeth 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this book, Hayes addresses the central concern in talmudic studies over the genesis of halakhic (legal) divergence between the Talmuds produced by the Palestinian rabbinic community (c. AD 370) and the Babylonian rabbinic community (c. AD 650). Hayes analyses selected divergences between parallel passages of the two Talmuds. Proceeding on a case-by-case basis, she considers whether external influences (cultural or regional differences), internal factors (textual, hermeneutical, or dialectical), or some intersection of the two best account for the differences.
Donors, Devotes, and Daughters of God
Authors: Orr Leslie C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Through the use of epigraphical evidence, Leslie C. Orr brings into focus the activities and identities of the temple women (devadasis) of medieval South India. This book shows how temple women’s initiative and economic autonomy involved them in medieval temple politics and allowed them to establish themselves in roles with particular social and religious meanings. This study suggests new ways of understanding the character of the temple woman and, more generally, of the roles of women in Indian religion and society.
Introduction
Authors: Bacon Jean 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the thirty years since Congress lifted the onerous restrictions of the 1924 Immigration Act, immigration has once again altered the face of just about every large metropolitan area in the United States. The swelling population of Asian Indians in Chicago and its suburbs exemplifies a growing trend among current immigrants, particularly the increasingly large percentage from Asia. Many come to America endowed with educations and financial resources that the earlier wave of impoverished European immigrants could only dream about for their descendants. Absorbed into well-paid occupational niches, these post-1965 immigrant professionals have options in terms of living arrangements that were not feasible for the majority of their immigrant predecessors. Dispersed throughout the suburbs with other middle-class people of varying backgrounds and interests, these immigrants from India and their families have one thing in common with many of their native-born neighbors: they are all busy constructing identities to alleviate a sense of isolation and to connect with some type of a “community.”
Family Life
Authors: Bacon Jean 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The public life of the Indian community plays only a small part in the everyday lives of lndian immigrants and their children. People get up, go to work or school, and return at night to share a common space and perhaps a common meal with virtually the only other Indian people with whom they interact on a daily basis. On weekends, they may expand their contacts to include extended family, or Indian friends, but the most fundamental and consistent context in which people experience their common Indianness is that of the family.
Families: A Model of Intergenerational Change
Authors: Bacon Jean 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is clear from the preceding portraits that these five families share some common preoccupations; education, dating and marriage, and the quality of intergenerational communication are ubiquitous concerns. It is tempting to point to these commonalities and assert a common process of assimilation.1 However, it is also clear that the formulation and the meaning of these issues in different families are far from uniform. So, rather than focusing on the most common issues and interpreting them in terms of broad differences between “Indian” and “American,” we must understand the process through which issues take shape in individual families. Similarity in this process of articulating issues and the personal and familial identities that result from this process provide a general model of how assimilation takes place-a model that covers not only the Indian case but all situations of intergenerational change.
Grant Us Courage
Authors: Balmer Randall 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A sequel to the author's successful Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory (OUP 1989), this book consists of twelve profiles of "great" mainline churches. Commissioned by The Christian Century magazine over a period of four years, the profiles show that not everything is as bad in mainline Protestantism as some have argued. Balmer's vivid and absorbing depictions of these congregations raise hope for the future of the mainline while still pointing to its grave and persistent troubles.
The Sum of Its Parts

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Forty years later, there is still much to admire about First Community Church. It remains a center of community activity in the near northwest suburbs of Columbus, known as the Tri-Village Area of Grandview Heights, Marble Cliff, and Upper Arlington. With a membership well in excess of three thousand, Sunday morning attendance around eleven hundred, and an annual budget of about $2. 3 million, First Community Church offers a range of activities to appeal to all ages and interests.
Against the Odds
Authors: Balmer Randall 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Three exhibits caught my eye because each of them, I think, reveals something essential about what I will dare to call the Scandinavian character and about the successive stages of Scandinavians’ immigration and settlement in America. The first is a small wooden sloop with a canvas sail, the Trade Wind, that dominates the rear of the museum. Was it courage, naïveté, or mere stubbornness that prompted Norwegians to climb aboard vessels not much larger than this for the trip across the Atlantic? I can only imagine the sharp, cold wind scouring the unprotected deck, the terror of being pitched like a ping-pong ball in twenty-foot swells, the retching seasickness that must have tied every stomach on board into knots. But come they did.
Urban Lighthouse

Abstract
When Ogilvie talks about his life and his background, he reels off a series of mentors, beginning with his high school drama teacher back in Kenosha, Wisconsin. While an undergraduate at Lake Forest College, he fell under the influence of Bruce Larson and Ralph Osborne and, in Ogilvie’s words, “became a Christian.” Although he initially professed no denominational loyalties, Ogilvie, after studying at Garrett Evangelical Seminary at Northwestern University, felt a tug from his Presbyterian past and went off to study at New College, Edinburgh, under James Stewart, Thomas Torrance, and John Bailey, all of whom took a personal interest in the young divinity student.
Campus Life
Authors: Balmer Randall 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
These windows, backlit by the autumn sun, illustrate well the twin fulcrums of intellect and piety in Christianity. Especially in the twentieth century the church has faced the challenge of finding a balance between head and heart. Collegiate Methodist, drawing on the Wesleyan tradition and situated in a university community, in many ways embodies that struggle, the challenge of purveying a faith that touches both the mind and the affections.
Birthright Church
Authors: Balmer Randall 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
First United Church of Christ in New Knoxville, Ohio, is so steeped in German history and culture that when one of the congregation’s prodigals chose to register his displeasure with the church in the mid-l 970s he inscribed his articles of dissent on a piece of masonite and nailed it to the church door. The congregation was not amused.
Introduction to Mesoscopic Physics
Authors: Imry Yoseph 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Mesoscopic physics refers to the physics of structures larger than a nanometer (one billionth of a meter) but smaller than a micrometer (one millionth of a meter). This size range is the stage on which the exciting new research on submicroscopic and electronic and mechanical devices is being done. This research often crosses the boundary between physics and engineering, since engineering such tiny electronic components requires a firm grasp of quantum physics. Applications for the future may include such wonders as microscopic robot surgeons that travel through the blood stream to repair clogged arteries, submicroscopic actuators and builders, and supercomputers that fit on the head of a pin. The world of the future is being planned and built by physicists, engineers, and chemists working in the microscopic realm. This book can be used as the main text in a course on mesoscopic physics or as a supplementary text in electronic devices, semiconductor devices, and condensed matter physics courses.
The Direct Evangelist
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The believer’s first commission is to the service of evangelism. The apostle Paul, writing also for the evangelist Timothy, appropriated the words of Psalm 116:10 to say “We too believe, and so we speak,” seeing in the testimony of the two of them to the Gospel a vehicle for the extension of divine grace and the inclusion of respondents into the community of those who give thanks and glory to God. Bishop V. S. Azariah of Dornakal told the meeting of the International Missionary Council at Tambaram in 1938 that when he toured the churches of his Anglican diocese, he would have the baptized members place their hands upon their heads and repeat the words of St. Paul at 1 Corinthians 9:16, “Woe unto me if I preach not the Gospel.” The sentiment was shared by Lesslie Newbigin and applied in the first instance to himself.
The Liturgical Preacher
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
At the heart of the Church’s life stands the assembled congregation, where the communication of the Gospel takes place through word and sacrament, and the response of praise and prayer is made to the Triune God. That such corresponds to Newbigin’s understanding and practice is clear from the frequency with which he returned to the point in so many different contexts. Nevertheless, his formal theological statements concerning preaching, baptism and the Lord’s Supper rarely exceed a page or two in length. In this chapter, therefore, Newbigin is shown principally as the practical liturgist and preacher. The presentation of his sacramental doctrine is reserved for later in the chapter, and his theological approach to the Scriptures and his literary exposition of them until the following chapter. During the 1950s and 1960s Bishop Newbigin was frequently invited at international ecumenical meetings to preside over the celebration of the Holy Communion according to the order of the newly united Church of South India that he himself had helped to compose, and he was often asked to preach on important ecumenical occasions around the world. He thus played a part in familiarizing the Church at large with a eucharistic rite that was a first fruit both of the ecumenical movement and of the liturgical movement that was starting to reshape the worship of Catholic and Protestant churches alike; and he was able to set the twentieth-century concerns for evangelical mission and ecclesial unity in their proper doxological frame.
