Challenges in Intervention Research
Authors: Fraser Mark W , Richman Jack M , Galinsky Maeda J , Day Steven H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Previous chapters have emphasized synthesizing program theory from research, developing treatment manuals rooted in program theory, testing and refining program materials through a series of studies, and giving early consideration to fidelity and adaptation. We did not delve into the detail of research design or statistical methods because these topics are treated well in other texts (e.g., Shadish et al. 2002). However, both of these areas are important in intervention research and should not be overlooked. Indeed, it is hard to imagine mounting a program of intervention research without knowledge of each. In addition, developing a program theory that specifies malleable mediators, composing program materials that fit the organizational and cultural context, and anticipating factors that may affect the uptake of an intervention by practitioners are crucial if scientific knowledge is to affect practice.
Intervention research is a generative and creative process that involves the design, development, and dissemination of systematic change strategies. An important aspect of intervention research is that it incorporates activities that are intended to promote the implementation of programs by practitioners and the agencies in which they work. These activities are what distinguish effective interventions that are likely to be adopted into practice from those interventions that, even though effective, are unlikely to penetrate practice. Although effective interventions often have compelling characteristics (e.g., target processes that are causally related to social and health problems, have supporting data from well-controlled studies), interventions that penetrate practice have five additional features. These focus on factors that accelerate the uptake of an EBT by agencies and practitioners. They include ease of use; a clear specification of core content required to produce expected outcomes; fit with the policy and organizational context; guidelines for implementation and cultural adaptation; and outcomes that are readily observed by stakeholders. This integration of design, development, and dissemination distinguishes this book and, more generally, intervention research.

Communion of Immigrants
Authors: Fisher James T 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Catholicism has grown from a suppressed and persecuted outsiders' religion in the American colonies to become the nation's single largest denomination. James Fisher surveys more than four centuries of Catholics' involvement in American history, starting his narrative with one of the first Spanish expeditions to Florida, in 1528. He follows the transformation of Catholicism into one of America's most culturally and ethnically diverse religions, including the English Catholics' early settlement in Maryland, the Spanish missions to the Native Americans, the Irish and German poor who came in search of work and farmland, the proliferation of Polish and Italian communities, and the growing influx of Catholics from Latin America. The book discusses Catholic involvement in politics and conflict, from New York's Tammany Hall to the Vietnam War and abortion. Fisher highlights the critical role of women in American Catholicism--from St. Elizabeth Seton and Dorothy Day to Mother Cabrini, the first American citizen to be canonized a saint--and describes the influence of prominent American Catholics such as Cardinal John J. O'Connor, 1930s radio personality Father Charles Coughlin, President John F. Kennedy, pacifists Daniel and Philip Berrigan, activist Cesar Chavez, and author Flannery O'Connor. For this new edition, Fisher has brought the story up to date, including the latest struggles within the American church leadership.
From the “Great Convergence” to the “First Great Divergence”
Authors: Scheidel Walter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Two thousand years ago, perhaps half of the entire human species had come under the control of just two powers, the Roman and Han empires, at opposite ends of Eurasia. Both entities were broadly similar in terms of size. Both of them were run by god-like emperors residing in the largest cities the world had seen so far, were made up of some 1,500 to 2,000 administrative districts, and, at least at times, employed hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Both states laid claim to ruling the whole world, orbits terrarium and Tania, while both encountered similar competition for surplus between central government and local elites and similar pressures generated by secondary state formation beyond their frontiers and subsequent “barbarian” infiltration. Both of them even ended in similar ways: one half, the original political core—the west in Europe, the north in China—was first weakened by warlords and then taken over by “barbarian” successor states, whereas the other half was preserved by a traditionalist regime. It was only from the late sixth century c.e. onward that the two trajectories of state formation began to diverge, slowly at first but more dramatically over time, between the cyclical restoration of a China-wide empire in the East and the decline of empire and central government in the West, followed by the slow creation of a polycentric state system that proved resistant to any attempts to impose hegemony, let alone unification, and ultimately evolved into the now-familiar cluster of modern nation states.
“When You Go To The Meadow. . .” The Lament of the Taptara-Women inthe Hittite Sallis Wastais Ritual
Authors: Rutherford Ian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Hittite Kingdom that dominated central Anatolia for about four centuries during the middle of the second millennium b.c.e. is gradually revealing itself to modern scholars, thanks to the discovery and deciphering of extensive archives from its capital at Hattusa (modern Boghaz Köy) in the early decades of the twentieth century. Hittite religion and society are turning out to have been a complex, multilayered structure with Indo-European elements fused with a pre-Indo-European (‘‘Hattic’’) substrate, heavily influenced by the civilization of North Syria. Most of what has been learned about it relates to the experiences and activities of the royal family, the festivals they took part in, their prayers, their intrigues, and their dreams; and for death too the treatment of royalty is much better documented than that of any one else in the society. Most of our information about the royal funerary ritual is textual; archaeology has made little contribution (a point of contrast with mortuary practice in the roughly contemporary Mycenaean civilization in Greece, for which the sources are almost exclusively archaeological).
Ancient States, Empires, and Exploitation
Authors: Goldstone Jack A , Haldon John F 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The rise and fall of ancient empires and states has been a popular theme in comparative social and political history for many years, yet we still find the whole process fascinating—perhaps because, in the modern world, notions of the “end of history” and “imperial overstretch” have raised questions about whether decline and fall affect the modern Western world as well as the past. Yet beyond such simple slogans lies a deeper truth: the dynamics of historical social change remain problematic because there are no simple answers to the question “Why did such- and-such an empire rise when it did, and why did it collapse or succumb to external pressures when it did?” The resurgence of interest in the fates of empires, as well as in meta-theoretical discussion about the structures of historical change on the grand scale, is evidenced in a number of current projects and recent publications.
Becoming Good Ancestors
Authors: Ehrenfeld David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A brilliant writer and gifted "big picture" thinker, David Ehrenfeld is one of America's leading conservation biologists. Becoming Good Ancestors unites in a single, up-to-date framework pieces written over two decades, spanning politics, ecology, and culture, and illuminating the forces in modern society that thwart our efforts to solve today's hard questions about society and the environment. The book focuses on our present-day retreat from reality, our alienation from nature, our unthinking acceptance of new technology and rejection of the old, the loss of our ability to discriminate between events we can control and those we cannot, the denial of non-economic values, and the decline of local communities. If we are aware of what we are losing and why we are losing it, the author notes, all of these patterns are reversible. Through down-to-earth examples, ranging from a family canoe trip in the wilderness to the novels of Jane Austen to Chinese turtle and tiger farms, Ehrenfeld shows how we can use what we learn to move ourselves and our society towards a more stable, less frantic, and far more satisfying life, a life in which we are no longer compelled to damage ourselves and our environment, in which our children have a future, and in which fewer species are endangered and more rivers run clean. In the final chapter, he offers a dramatic view of the possibilities inherent in a fusion of the best elements of conservatism and liberalism. Our society has an inherent sense of what is right, says Ehrenfeld, and the creativity and persistence to make good things happen. It is now time to apply our intelligence, guided by our moral judgment, to the very large problems we all face. This book is an important first step.
Numerical Computation in Science and Engineering
Authors: Pozrikidis C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Designed for non-expert student, enthusiast, or researcher, this two-volume text provides an accessible introduction to numerical computation and its applications in science and engineering. It assumes no prior knowledge beyond undergraduate calculus and elementary computer programming. Fundamental and practical issues are discussed in a unified manner with a generous, but not excessive, dose of numerical analysis. Topics are introduced on a need to know basis to concisely illustrate the practical implementation of a variety of algorithms and demystify seemingly esoteric numerical methods. Algorithms that can be explained without too much elaboration and can be implemented within a few dozen lines of computer code are discussed in detail, and computer programs in Fortran, C++, and Matlab are provided. Algorithms whose underlying theories require long, elaborate explanations are discussed at the level of first principles, and references for further information are given. The book uses numerous schematic illustrations to demonstrate concepts and facilitate their understanding by providing readers with a helpful interplay between ideas and visual images. Real-world examples drawn from various branches of science and engineering are presented. Updated information on computer technology and numerical methods is included, many new and some original topics are introduced. Additional solved and unsolved problems are included.
What Is Body Dysmorphic Disorder?
Authors: Phillips Katharine A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Sarah, a 24-year-old medical student, called me after she’d seen a story on body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) on TV. “My problem isn’t very severe; I’m not sure I have body dysmorphic disorder. My concern with my appearance isn’t that extreme, but it probably is excessive. It’s a problem for me.”
Shakespeare The Theatre-Poet
Authors: Hapgood Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
How subject to interpretation is Shakespeare? The valid options his plays afford can seem infinite; yet in fact they are not. This book seeks to come fully to terms with Shakespeare's openness to interpretation while respecting the primacy of his creative presence. It sees Shakespeare the theatre-poet as making theatre not only by outlining an imaginary world but by providing guidelines for its enactment and reception, implying in each of his plays a distinctive rapport between the playwright, the players, and the playgoers. These guidelines may be discerned through a study of the range and limits of the options that a given text affords. The book studies a variety of plays in this way, especially Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. By doing so it seeks to provide an aesthetic for Shakespeare's theatre-poetry, one that includes the author along with the actors and the audience in the event that occurs when a play is performed.
Radical Satire And Print Culture 1790-1822
Authors: Wood Marcus 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Radical Satire and Print Culture 1790-1822 focuses on the work produced collaboratively between 1816 and 1822 by the poet and radical journalist William Hone and the brilliant young graphic satirist George Cruikshank. Dr Wood provides a much needed analytical framework for Regency radical satire uncovering a set of new sources and previously unknown cultural contexts for Hone and Cruikshank's work, which is shown to combine modernity and tradition in thrilling ways. Hone fused the literary and political inheritance of eighteenth-century satire with contemporary developments in advertising , popular publishing and mass marketing; Cruikshank combined the sophisticated conventions of the political print with the most up-to-date methods of advertizing, politics and propaganda. Entertaining and original, this is an important contribution to the study of radical satire, which sheds new light on the relations between popular political authors and graphic artists and the major Romantic writers of the period.
Radical Underworld
Authors: Mccalman Iain 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is a paperback edition of a highly acclaimed study of English popular radicalism during the period between the anti-Jacobin government `Terror' of the 1790s and the beginnings of Chartism. Challenging conventional distinctions between `high' and `low' culture, Iain McCalman brilliantly reveals the links between the political underworld and literary culture, poverty, crime, and prophetic religion. Drawing on information from spy reports and contemporary literature, the book traces for the first time the history of the underground revolutionary-republican grouping founded by the agrarian reformer, Thomas Spence. Challenging conventional distinctions between 'high' and 'low' culture, McCalman illuminates the darker, more populist sides of Romanticism. His underworld of ideas links the Shelleys to pornographer-revolutionaries and political blackmailers, millenarian prophecy to discourses of blasphemy, black revolution and saturnalian theatricality, and radical journalism to the Grub Street undergrowth of bawdy and pornography which sprang up in the opening years of Queen Victoria's reign. Radical Underworld broadens the conventional boundaries of popular politics and culture by illuminating a political underworld connected with poverty, crime, prophetic religion and literary culture. It is a model of cultural history and a major re-evaluation of its topic.
Three Places of the Trachiniae
Authors: Fowler Robert l. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
My purpose in this brief discussion is to suggest that in three places of the Trachiniae hitherto unnoticed or unexploited parallels may improve our understanding of the play. At lines 153 ff., Deianeira tells the chorus that a novel kind of suffering has attended her husband’s latest absence: Commentators have picked up this hint and usefully explored the similarities and contrasts between these plays. I should like to suggest that an equally fruitful comparison can be made with the archetypal nostos, that of Odysseus; indeed, the audience might think of this one sooner, not only because of the familiarity of the text, but because it reproduces more faithfully the archetypal folktale of the departing husband who leaves instructions against his failure to return. The story pattern includes the fixing of a time after which the wife is to act. Heracles states a time, or at least reports it as it was given to him, in the passage quoted; Odysseus, we learn in book 1 8 ( 2 5 7 ff.), told Penelope to take action when Telemachus had grown his beard.
The Greek Anthology
Authors: Cameron Alan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Greek Anthology is one of the great books of European literature, `a garden containing the flowers and weeds of 1500 years of Greek epigram'. This study adds a wealth of new information about its growth over an even longer period, from the earliest papyrus anthologies down to the rediscovery in 1606 of the Palatine Anthology (AP), our principal source for the entire history of the Greek epigram, from Simonides to the Byzantine age. It was a Byzantine schoolmaster, Constantine Cephalas, who excerpted all the major ancient collections in about 900. His work is reconstructed in this book from a close analysis of the Palatine Anthology at about 940 and the various later collections. Following a number of neglected clues, Professor Cameron identifies the compiler of AP as Constantine the Rhodian, and solves the mystery of the Manderings of AP during the Renaissance, showing that it once belonged to Sir Thomas More.
Greek Poetry in the An to nine Age
Authors: Bowie E L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Although the Antonine Age produced much less Greek poetry than prose, there is still far more than can be assessed adequately in a single paper, and to help me in my task I focus on a shorter period, the reigns of Hadrian, Pius, and Marcus. Even here I must be selective, but I make no apology for including the reign of Hadrian, since so many of the poets of the period AD 1 1 7-80 flourished under him, some indeed as a direct result of his interest.
Characterization and Individuality in Greek Literature
Authors: Pelling Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Greeks discovered the individual, it is said, but in what sense is this true? Characters in Greek literature may often seem strangely different from their modern counterparts: less idiosyncratic, less real, and with less psychological depth or interest. Personality traits seems to cluster more predictably in the characters of Greek authors than of those today. Despite the wide-ranging scope of this aspect of Greek literature, most previous discussions on Greek characterization and individuality have been limited to particular authors or genres. This volume attempts to illuminate the connections and mutual influences of the various genres in the portrayal of the individual. Ten essays explore the question of the distinction of character and personality (C. Gill); how the Greeks viewed the concept of character (S. Halliwell); characterization in epic (O. Taplin), in tragedy (P. E. Easterling, S. Goldhill, and J. Griffin), in comedy (M. Silk), in philosophical dialectic (L. Coventry), in oratory and rhetoric (D. A. Russell), and in biography (C. B. R. Pelling). This work will be invaluable to anyone interested in Greek literature and in the phenomenon of characterization and individuality in literature in general.
Characterization in Euripides: Hippolytus and Iphigeneia in Aulis
Authors: Griffin Jasper 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The question of characterization in Attic tragedy is a fascination and also a complex one. It has sometimes suffered from the assumption that a playwright always behaves, in this regard, in the same way. That is, I think, untrue, and I hope it will emerge from this discussion that in these two plays—one of them among the earliest which we possess from the poet’s pen, the other left unfinished at his death—Euripides can be seen to handle the characterization and the psychology of his people in ways which have a good deal in common, but which also are importantly different.
The Role of the Interlocutor in Plato’s DialoguesTheory and Practice
Authors: Coventry Lucinda 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When Socrates sets responsiveness to the interlocutor beside devotion to the truth as a distinctive feature of dialectic, he gives expression to the idea underlying the importance of characterization in Plato’s work. It is essential to dialectic as Plato portrays it that argument should not be unvarying, indifferent to the participants, but should rather be sensitive to the individual respondent in any dispute.
Conclusion
Authors: Pelling Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We must not gloss over the point .Just as the Greeks failed to develop a genuine discipline of historical research, so also they were unable to grasp the true nature of a human being. The observer always remained detached, when he should have been placing himself in the other man’s soul. Instead of understanding, he praises or blames. And always he regards a man as something complete and entire, never as anything that develops. How could they have understood the contradictions that are found in every soul of any richness, and whose unification alone creates a person’s individuality? Only their tragedians (for Menander’s comedy certainly fell short of it) had the capacity to create whole persons of the sort where we can sense how they must have become the way they are, through life’s experiences and despite life’s experiences. And then, of course, there was Plato: but Plato at least potentially burst through virtually all the limitations of the Greek spirit. I do not here discuss how the Greeks came to be like this: in the sixth and fifth centuries there was the potential for a quite different development.
Introduction
Authors: Scardigli Barbara 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This volume collects articles on the most important themes of Plutarch’s Greek and Roman Lives. It includes contributions from 1963 to 1990 on Plutarch’s life, milieu, and culture; on questions of programme, method, and composition; on the chronological order of composition and the cross-references from one Life to another; on the possibility that several biographies were edited simultaneously; on the methods Plutarch adopted to summarize his own reading and research; on the choice of subjects and of sources (Plutarch often shows very good judgement in both aspects); on his compositional techniques, which show with particular clarity procedures very common in ancient historical writing-adaptation, simplification, contamination, displacement, linking of unconnected events, addition, selective explanation of fact; and on the criteria for selecting the Greek and Roman pairs.
