Abstract
In recent years, the challenges of international health have captured the attention of politicians, business executives, the United Nations, celebrities, magnates, and the media. Suddenly, it seems, international health has surfaced as a pressing global priority. Yet many of the problems of international health—such as high rates of infant and maternal mortality, tuberculosis, heart disease, and other causes of premature mortality—are not new. Health workers, activists, and community members have long struggled to improve health conditions within and across societies. Moreover, the spread of disease from one place to another has been a recurring economic and political concern.
Kinship and Pilgrimage
Authors: Neville Gwen Kennedy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The twin concepts of kinship and pilgrimage have deep roots in Protestant culture. This cultural anthropological study, based in part on the author's own fieldwork, argues that in Reformed Protestantism, the Catholic custom of making pilgrimages to sacred spots has been replaced by the custom of “reunion,” in which scattered members of a family or group return each year to their place of origin to take part in a quasi-sacred ritual meal and other ritual activities. Neville discusses open air services and kin-based gatherings in the Southern United States and Scotland as examples of symbolic forms that express certain themes in Northern European Protestant culture, contrasting these forms with the symbolic social statements in the Roman Catholic liturgical world of medieval Europe and traditional Mediterranean Catholicism. According to Neville, Protestant rituals of reunion such as family reunion, church homecoming, cemetery association day, camp meeting, and denomination conference center are part of an institutionalized pilgrimage complex that comments on Protestant culture and belief while presenting a symbolic inversion of the pilgrimage and the culture of Roman Catholic tradition.
The Central Liberal Truth
Authors: Harrison Lawrence E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Which cultural values, beliefs, and attitudes best promote democracy, social justice, and prosperity? How can we use the forces that shape cultural change, such as religion, child-rearing practices, education, and political leadership, to promote these values in the Third World--and for underachieving minorities in the First World? In this book, Lawrence E. Harrison offers intriguing answers to these questions, in a valuable follow-up to his acclaimed Culture Matters. Drawing on a three-year research project that explored the cultural values of dozens of nations--from Botswana, Sweden, and India to China, Egypt, and Chile--Harrison offers a provocative look at values around the globe, revealing how each nation’s culture has propelled or retarded their political and economic progress. The book presents 25 factors that operate very differently in cultures prone to progress and those that resist it, including one’s influence over destiny, the importance attached to education, the extent to which people identify with and trust others, and the role of women in society. Harrison pulls no punches, and many of his findings will be controversial. He argues, for example, that Protestantism, Confucianism, and Judaism have been more successful in promoting progress than Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Islam. Harrison rejects the Bush administration’s doctrine that “the values of freedom are right and true for every person, in every society.” Thus nations like Iraq and Afghanistan--where illiteracy, particularly among women, and mistrust are high and traditions of cooperation and compromise are scant--are likely to resist democracy. Most important, the book outlines a series of practical guidelines that developing nations and lagging minority groups can use to enhance their political, social, and economic well-being. Contradicting the arguments of multiculturalists, this book contends that when it comes to promoting human progress, some cultures are clearly more effective than others. It convincingly shows which values, beliefs, and attitudes work and how we can foster them.
Fundamentalism and American Culture
Authors: Marsden George M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Many Americans today are taking note of the surprisingly strong political force that is the religious right. Controversial decisions by the government are met with hundreds of lobbyists, millions of dollars of advertising spending, and a powerful grassroots response. How has the fundamentalist movement managed to resist the pressures of the scientific community and the draw of modern popular culture to hold on to their ultra-conservative Christian views? Understanding the movement’s history is key to answering this question. Fundamentalism and American Culture has long been considered a classic in religious history, and to this day remains unsurpassed. Now available in a new edition, this highly regarded analysis takes us through the full history of the origin and direction of one of America’s most influential religious movements. For Marsden, fundamentalists are not just religious conservatives; they are conservatives who are willing to take a stand and to fight. In Marsden’s words (borrowed by Jerry Falwell), “a fundamentalist is an evangelical who is angry about something.” In the late nineteenth century American Protestantism was gradually dividing between liberals who were accepting new scientific and higher critical views that contradicted the Bible and defenders of the more traditional evangelicalism. By the 1920s a full-fledged “fundamentalist” movement had developed in protest against theological changes in the churches and changing mores in the culture. Building on networks of evangelists, Bible conferences, Bible institutes, and missions agencies, fundamentalists coalesced into a major protest movement that proved to have remarkable staying power. For this new edition, a major new chapter compares fundamentalism since the 1970s to the fundamentalism of the 1920s, looking particularly at the extraordinary growth in political emphasis and power of the more recent movement. Never has it been more important to understand the history of fundamentalism in our rapidly polarizing nation. Marsden’s carefully researched and engrossing work remains the best way to do just that.
Dispensationalism and the Baconian Ideal
Authors: Marsden George M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
At a major prophetic conference in 1895, Arthur T. Pierson, one of the leading representatives of the movement, summarized the basic philosophical assumptions of dispensational thought-and indeed much of the thought of the anti-modernist movement generally. Speaking of various systematic theologies that he considered artificial because they did not have the Second Coming at their center, he said: “I like Biblical theology that does not start with the superficial Aristotelian method of reason, that does not begin with an hypothesis, and then warp the facts and the philosophy to fit the crook of our dogma, but a Baconian system, which first gathers the teachings of the word of God, and then seeks to deduce some general law upon which the facts can be arranged.”
“The Great Reversal”
Authors: Marsden George M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The evangelicals’ interest in social concerns, which lasted into the early years of the twentieth century, has been something of a puzzle to historians of fundamentalism. The chief question is the rather dramatic disappearance of this interest-or at least its severe curtailment-by the 1920s. In recent years many evangelical interpreters have commented on this “Great Reversal” in evangelical social views, although they have not always been clear on precisely what was lost.1 Non-evangelical interpreters have tended to see a less sudden transition.

Abstract
At A Little Before Ten O’Clock The Drum Roll Began, First distant and then ever louder as the thousands gathering to see the king die wound their way through London’s choked streets to the palace of Whitehall. It was January 30, 1649. The weather was exceedingly cold, the sky gray with scattered patches of sunshine, the frost so sharp that great chunks of ice clogged the arches of London Bridge spanning the river Thames.
War

Published: November 2023

Abstract
lsAAc Newton Was Not The Only Keeper Of A Kingdom WHO AROSE early and worked deep into the night. John Flamsteed, who, in 1675, was appointed England’s first astronomer royal by King Charles II, came calling so early one morning that Newton was still in bed. While waiting for his host to dress, Flamsteed read one of Newton’s Bibles and reminded himself that he must keep calm no matter how irritating Newton might be. He considered him to be “a good man at bottom,” but highly suspicious and too easily influenced by others. More than anyone else, Flamsteed blamed Edmond Halley for the shabby way Newton had been treating him of late. Looking the part of a dour Puritan minister in the portrait of him that hangs in the Royal Society, Flamsteed suspected that Halley was an atheist, an unbeliever who mocked the religious behind their backs.
Bridging Evidence-Based Health Care and Social Work How to Search for, Develop, and Use Evidence-Based Studies
Authors: Roberts Albert R , Yeager Kenneth , Regehr Cheryl 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Social workers are often at the forefront of providing guidance to clients and their families regarding a wide range of health, mental health, and social service options. While social workers obviously do not provide medical or psychiatric advice, they are required to be knowledgeable about health and mental health treatments and issues so that they can assist clients and their families to access required information from health care providers and make informed decisions. Further, in providing social work services social workers can no longer rely on best intentions but are obligated to ensure that the interventions they employ are informed by the available research evidence. The overriding objective of this volume is to bridge and augment health and social work practices with scientific research inquiry.
The Ascetic and the Domestic in Brahmanical Religiosity
Authors: Olivelle Patrick 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The theme of this volume is “criticizing asceticism” within the respective religious traditions that we are examining. The assumption is that the groups and individuals within those traditions who engage in the critique, as well as modern scholars who investigate such critiques, have a clear idea of what they are criticizing that is, that they and we know what “asceticism” is. My own chapter is entitled “The Ascetic and the Domestic” with the implications that the two are mutually opposed and, moreover, that we have a clear idea of what “domesticity” means. These are presuppositions that I will attempt to problematize here with material drawn from the Indian traditions, with the expectation that some of the issues I raise will be relevant cross-culturally in the study of religion in general and of asceticism in particular.
Quantum chemistry by random walk: H4 square
Authors: Anderson J B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Early fixed-node QMC calculations for the H4 system helped resolve an apparent disagreement between experimental measurements and theoretical predictions for the exchange reaction of H2 and D2. A number of rate measurements for the reaction H2 + D2 2 HD indicated an activation energy of 35 to 45 kcal/mole and suggested a direct bimolecular reaction mechanism, a but several analytic variational calculations indicated barrier heights of greater than 115 kcal/mole for a variety of reaction paths. This paper reported fixed-node diffusion QMC calculations for the case of the H4 square of side length 2.4 bohr in the 1 B1g and 1 B2g states. Node structures were taken from variational calculations for single- and multiple-determinant wavefunctions in the simplest forms meeting the symmetry requirements for these states.
Ab initio global potential-energy surface
Authors: Xie Z , Braams B J , Bowman J M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The reactions Ht -+ Hf + H2, H4D+ -+ Hf + HD, H4D+ -+ H2D+ + H2, and Hf + HD -+ H2D+ + H2 are important in the chemistry of interstellar space. Each corresponds to motion on the rather complicated nine-dimensional five-body potential energy surface of the cation Ht which has permutational invariance of the H atoms. In the study reported in this paper the potential energy surface was generated not by QMC methods but by coupled cluster calculations with a large basis set, i.e., CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ. The QMC aspect of the study is in the determination of zero-point energies for the Ht, Hf, and H2 species and their isotopic variants as well as the anharmonic dissociation energy of Ht. To obtain an analytic function for the potential energy surface approximately 100,000 points on the surface were selected from classical trajectories started at the global minimum for Ht. An analytic function of the ten internuclear distances with full permutational symmetry was then fit to these points. The resulting surface was found in good agreement with the results of earlier high-level calculations for the ten stationary points on the surface. The zero-point energies for the several species were determined in diffusion QMC calculations for 20,000 walkers with 5000 steps for each of ten runs. For those started at the global Ht minimum a stable average energy of 7210 cm-1 (20.6 kcal/mol) was observed in the time interval 300-7000 au. For those begun at the Hf + H2 dissociation limit an initial stable average energy of 9424 cm-1 (26.9 kcal/mol) was observed in the range 500-5000 au followed by descent to the 7210 cm-1 stable region. These rigorous zero-point energies along with a De value of 8.30 kcal/mol gave a dissociation energy D0 of 6.33 ± 0.03 kcal/mol, a value in good agreement with experimental values.
The Symmetry of Chaos
Authors: Gilmore Robert , Letellier Christophe 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There is a tremendous fascination with chaos and fractals, about which picture books can be found on coffee tables everywhere. Chaos and fractals represent hands-on mathematics that is alive and changing. One can turn on a personal computer and create stunning mathematical images that no one has ever seen before. Chaos and fractals are part of dynamics, a larger subject that deals with change, with systems that evolve with time. Whether the system in question settles down to equilibrium, keeps repeating in cycles, or does something more complicated, it is dynamics that scientists and mathematicians use to analyze a system’s behavior. Chaos is the term used to describe the apparently complex behavior of what we consider to be simple, well-behaved systems. Chaotic behavior, when looked at casually, looks erratic and almost random. The type of behavior that in the last 20 years has come to be called chaotic arises in very simple systems. In fact, these systems are essentially deterministic; that is, precise knowledge of the conditions of a system allow future behavior of the system to be predicted. The problem of chaos is to reconcile these apparently conflicting notions: randomness and predictability. Why have scientists, engineers, and mathematicians become intrigued by chaos? The answer to that question has two parts: (1) the study of chaos has provided new conceptual tools enabling scientists to categorize and understand complex behavior and (2) chaotic behavior seems to be universal - from electrical circuits to nerve cells. Chaos is about predictability in even the most unstable systems, and symmetry is a pattern of predictability - a conceptual tool to help understand complex behavior. The Symmetry of Chaos treats this interplay between chaos and symmetry. This graduate textbook in physics, applied mathematics, engineering, fluid dynamics, and chemistry is full of exciting new material, illustrated by hundreds of figures. Nonlinear dynamics and chaos are relatively young fields, and in addition to serving textbook markets, there is a strong interest among researchers in new results in the field. The authors are the foremost experts in this field, and this book should give a definitive account of this branch of dynamical systems theory.
What You Must Think of Me
Authors: Ford Emily , Liebowitz Michael R , Andrews Linda Wasmer 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We've all felt occasional pangs of shyness and self-consciousness, but for those suffering with social anxiety disorder, the fear of being scrutinized and criticized can reach disabling proportions. Such was the case for Emily Ford, who shares her firsthand experiences in these pages. Emily's true story of fear, struggle, and ultimate triumph is sure to resonate with other socially anxious teenagers and young adults. Emily's frank, often witty, sometimes poignant account of how she negotiated all the obstacles of social anxiety--and eventually overcame them with the help of therapy and hard work--makes for compelling reading. Yet this book is more than just a memoir. Emily's story is coupled with the latest medical and scientific information about the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and self-management of social anxiety disorder (or SAD). Readers will find a wealth of solid advice and genuine inspiration here. In engaging, accessible language--and with the help of psychiatrist Michael Liebowitz--she discusses what is known and not known about social anxiety disorder in adolescents. She outlines the various psychotherapies available for those with SAD and explains how to seek professional help, how to talk to family and friends about the illness, and how to handle difficult social situations. The result is both an absorbing story and a useful guide that will help to ease the isolation caused by SAD, encouraging young people to believe that, with commitment and hard work, they can overcome this illness. Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books written specifically for teens and young adults, What You Must Think of Me will also be a valuable resource for friends and family of those with SAD. It offers much-needed hope to young people, helping them to overcome this illness and lead healthy, productive lives.

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

Abstract
At the core, making a difference is what social work practice is all about. Whether at the individual, organizational, state, or national level, making a difference usually involves developing and implementing some kind of action strategy. Often too, practice involves optimizing a strategy over time, that is, attempting to improve it.
In social work, public health, psychology, nursing, medicine, and other professions, we select strategies that are thought to be effective based on the best available evidence. These strategies range from clinical techniques, such as developing a new role-play to demonstrate a skill, to complex programs that have garnered support in a series of controlled studies, to policy-level initiatives that may be based on large case studies, expert opinion, or legislative reforms. To be sure, the evidence is often only a partial guide in developing new clinical techniques, programs, and policies. Indeed, strategies often must be adapted to meet the unique needs of the situation, including the social or demographic characteristics that condition problems. Thus, the hallmark of modern social work practice is this very process of identifying, adapting, and implementing what we understand to be the best available strategy for change.
However, suppose that you have an idea for how to develop a new service or revise an existing one. That is, through experience and research, you begin to devise a different practice strategy—an approach that perhaps has no clear evidence base, but one that may improve current services. When you attempt to develop new strategies or enhance existing strategies, you are ready to engage in intervention research.
Step 1: Specify the Problem and Develop a Program Theory
Authors: Fraser Mark W , Richman Jack M , Galinsky Maeda J , Day Steven H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Early social researchers were interested in demonstrating whether programs had positive effects on significant social problems such as delinquency, child maltreatment, and drug abuse. They were less interested in showing that programs had positive effects on proximal outcomes such as acquisition of new skills, changes in social support, or compliance with treatment. They tended to focus on long-term outcomes, with emphasis placed on distal effects, and interventions were broadly conceptualized.
Consider an example from the 1941 Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study that was designed to test the effects of case advocacy and supportive guidance on delinquency (Powers, Witmer, and Allport 1951). Using a sample of 431 boys in Massachusetts, the researchers matched the study participants on characteristics including age, physique, family discipline, religion, ethnicity, and neighborhood crime. Within pairs, one boy was randomized to an intervention group and the other to a control group. In the intervention condition, the boys began receiving academic tutoring, medical care, and general mentoring when they were about ten-and-a-half, and these supports continued until they reached age sixteen.
On average, the case workers visited the boys in their homes twice a month, and also took the boys to sporting events and other community activities. In addition, the intervention group boys participated in program-supported camping trips and summer camps. Well intended, the basic idea behind the intervention was to provide friendly, supportive counsel to high-risk boys and their families. Serious crimes were recorded after age seventeen and used as the outcome measure. At the end of the study period, no significant differences were found between the treatment and control group boys (McCord 1992; Powers, Witmer, and Allport 1951). However, findings from a thirty-year follow-up suggested that the boys in the treatment group fared worse in adulthood and reported higher rates of violent crime and alcoholism than the control group boys (Dishion, McCord, and Poulin 1999; McCord 1992). The follow-up study concluded that supportive counseling was not effective, and suggested that aggregating high-risk youth may have a corrupting and deleterious effect (also called deviancy training, see Gifford-Smith et al. 2005).
