Economic Valuation and Invasive Species
Authors: McIntosh Christopher R , Finnoff David C , Settle Chad , Shogren Jason F 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Invasive species impose costs on society by disrupting scarce ecosystem services, changing unique natural landscapes, and requiring people to reallocate scarce wealth to remove or eradicate unwanted species. Scarcity is the key word here. Economic value emerges from the idea that economics is a discipline of scarcity. The fact that resources are scarce means that using up resources in one way (e.g., ignore or control invasive species) incurs an opportunity cost—the cost of forgoing the next best alternative use. Economists use opportunity costs to capture how people value any scarce good or service, including protection from or eradication of invasive species (see, e.g., Nunes and van den Bergh 2004; Born et al. 2005).
Advances in Ecological and Economic Analysis of Invasive Species: Dreissenid Mussels as a Case Study
Authors: Bossenbroek Jonathan M , Finnoff David C , Shogren Jason F , Warziniack Travis W 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
January 2007 began a new chapter in the invasion of dreissenid mussels in North America. For the first time, dreissenid mussels were not restricted to the eastern United States and Canada. On January 6, 2007, quagga mussels (Dreissena bugensis (= D. rostriformis bugensis [Andrusov (1897)])) were discovered in a marina in Lake Mead, a large reservoir near Las Vegas, Nevada, on the Colorado River (National Park Service 2007). Preventingthis invasion from happeninghas been the goal of the 100th Meridian Initiative, a cooperative organization including state, federal, and provincial agencies, which was established in 1998.
Schleiermacher’s Supralapsarian Christology
Authors: Van Driel Edwin Chr. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Schleiermacher is the first major supralapsarian theologian since the Middle Ages, and his defense of it is one of the most original created. Most supralapsarian theologies turn on a distinction between the incarnation as the primal and essential goal of God’s relationship with humankind, and sin and redemption as its accidental companion. Schleiermacher’s approach is very different. As a “Hernhuter of a higher order,” he did not give up on the central place his Pietist forefathers had given to the notion of redemption. For Schleiermacher, this is still the central concept to describe Christ’s relation to us. But redemption is placed in an ontological framework inferred from the notion of absolute dependence.
Barth’s Supralapsarian Ontology
Authors: Van Driel Edwin Chr. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For a long time, a chapter title like the one above would have been interpreted as an oxymoron, if not a theological offense. “The Holy Spirit is the declared enemy of all metaphysics,” wrote Barth, and judgments like these have earned Barth the reputation of resisting all philosophical analysis in the context of theological discourse. In Barth we do not find an ontology, says Manfred Josuttis. And if we do, it goes against the spirit of the master, adds Barth’s old friend Otto Weber. Barth prefers the category of praxis over one of ontology, declares Friedrich-Wilhelm Marquardt. In recent years, the tide has turned.
Reaching across the Gender Divide
Authors: Gerson Kathleen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The children of the gender revolution are preparing for an irreversibly transformed world, in which unpredictable personal and social challenges make gender flexibility and work-family balance not just appealing but essential. Yet the realities of resistant social and economic institutions make these ideals seem distant and elusive. With no way back to a dimly perceived past and no clear path toward their desired goals, young adults must formulate “second best” strategies to cope with an uncertain future. These fallback strategies take women and men in different and potentially clashing directions in their quest for security and personal happiness.
Yet ideals do not perish simply because they are difficult to achieve. Few of my interviewees wish to return to a time when work and family “roles” were clear, distinct, and taken for granted. When asked to compare their options with those of their parents and grandparents, women and men overwhelmingly agree that, despite the obstacles, women are better off today. In response to the question “On balance, do you think women have it better today than they did in the past, worse today, or is there no difference,” 83 percent of women and 76 percent of men say today’s women have it better.
Flammable
Authors: Auyero Javier , Swistun Débora Alejandra 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Surrounded by one of the largest petrochemical compounds in Argentina, a highly polluted river that brings the toxic waste of tanneries and other industries, a hazardous and largely unsupervised waste incinerator, and an unmonitored landfill, Flammable’s soil, air, and water are contaminated with lead, chromium, benzene, and other chemicals. So are its nearly five thousand sickened and frail inhabitants. How do poor people make sense of and cope with toxic pollution? Why do they fail to understand what is objectively a clear and present danger? How are perceptions and misperceptions shared within a community? Based on archival research and two and a half years of collaborative ethnographic fieldwork in Flammable, this book examines the lived experiences of environmental suffering. Despite clear evidence to the contrary, residents allow themselves to doubt or even deny the hard facts of industrial pollution. This happens, the authors argue, through a “labor of confusion” enabled by state officials who frequently raise the issue of relocation and just as frequently suspend it; by the companies who fund local health care but assert that the area is unfit for human residence; by doctors who say the illnesses are no different from anywhere else but tell mothers they must leave the neighborhood if their families are to be cured; by journalists who randomly appear and focus on the most extreme aspects of life there; and by lawyers who encourage residents to hold out for a settlement. These contradictory actions, advice, and information work together to shape the confused experience of living in danger and ultimately translates into a long, ineffective, and uncertain waiting time, a time dictated by powerful interests and shared by all marginalized groups. With luminous and vivid descriptions of everyday life in the neighborhood, Auyero and Swistun depict this on-going slow motion human and environmental disaster and dissect the manifold ways in which it is experienced by Flammable residents.
Energy and Friendly Fire
Authors: Ehrenfeld David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There is a critical issue in the energy debate that has not received the attention it deserves: the problem of “friendly fire.” Friendly fire is the euphemism our military and press use to sugarcoat the presumably accidental killing of soldiers in battle by their own comrades. What does this have to do with the problems, especially the environmental problems, related to America’s energy crisis? It becomes clear if we look at the possible ways of dealing with the energy crisis. I group them in two categories.
Death of a Plastic Palm
Authors: Ehrenfeld David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
All over the United States, phone companies have planted artificial trees. An old-growth, imitation pine went up a few years ago in the community of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, where it towers one hundred feet over barns and fields. Holes in its synthetic brown bark admit bundles of black cables that travel up through the hollow metal trunk to the wireless digital phone antennas hidden among the plastic pine branches high above. In the desert near Phoenix, Arizona, where pines are scarce, another phone company conceals its antennas inside agiant, imitation saguaro cactus. Evidently some large corporations are finally beginning to realize that the destruction of nature by their business activities is not acceptable.
A Walk in the Woods
Authors: Ehrenfeld David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The forest was small by American standards, perhaps fifty or sixty acres, but in the rolling Devon countryside with its parceled fields and narrow, hedge-enclosed lanes, it felt appropriately spacious. I was enjoying the guided tour in one of my favorite parts of the world. The light rain and chilly July breezes felt right; the English ivy carpeting the ground seemed right; the leafy hardwoods looked right (although
I did n’t know the species and could easily have been fooled); and the probably medieval bank and ditch running through the woods at right angles to the path gave everything an impressive air of authenticity.
Traditions
Authors: Ehrenfeld David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Jewish holiday of Sukkot has set me thinking about ritual traditions, wondering why they assume their curious forms and how they can outlive their originators and persist for such a very long time. Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles, more than any other religious holiday I observe, is defined by odd practices that make no obvious sense, yet they have been performed in approximately the same way every autumn for at least twenty-five hundred years.
Epilogue: A Call for Fusion and Regeneration
Authors: Ehrenfeld David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The German philosopher Hegel once said: “The owl of Minerva flies at dusk.” Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom, and the owl that accompanied her was her source of knowledge. What Hegel meant by saying that Minerva’s owl flies at dusk is that when troubles gather and the prospects for the future of civilization seem dark and growing darker, only then, when it is too late to do anything about it, can we begin to understand what is happening. Minerva’s owl is now on the wing, but there is still some daylight left, still a little time to prove Hegel wrong.
Function Approximation
Authors: Pozrikidis C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We are given a certain amount of information about a function, f (x), in a specified interval, [a, b], and would like to sensibly approximate or represent the function with another simpler function, q(x), in the same interval. The information given may include values of f (x) and possibly its derivatives at specific points, encapsulated in the data. The approximating function, q(x), is usually chosen to be a polynomial. Other choices include rational functions defined as the ratios of two polynomials, exponential, trigonometric, and more involved sets of basis functions.
Finite-Difference Methods for Convection–Diffiusion
Authors: Pozrikidis C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In Chapters 11 and 12, we discussed the implementation of finite-difference methods for second-order partial differential equations in the framework of the convection–diffiusion–reaction equation, and developed specific discretizations for the parabolic unsteady diffiusion equation and the elliptic Laplace and Poisson equations. In this chapter, we develop finite-difference methods for the hyperbolic convection equation and its inclusive convection–diffiusion equation. The new developments will culminate in a comprehensive numerical scheme that will allow us to simulate the flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid.
Introduction
Authors: Cicovacki Predrag 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A narrow path leads uphill from the village of Gunsbach, into the thick woods. After a five-minute climb, one comes to a clearing with a huge rock and a beautiful view of the Munster valley beneath. This place was Albert Schweitzer’s favorite spot. Since 1969, next to the rock, there rises a monument in honor of Schweitzer. Built out of Alsatian sandstone, the monument is the work of Fritz Behn, a disciple of Auguste Rodin. The monument is located at this hidden spot, rather than in front of Schweitzer’s house, because he wanted it that way: “It is there I should like to remain in stone, so that my friends could pay me a visit, devote a thought to me, and could listen to the murmur of the river, the music that accompanied the flux of my thoughts. It is on this rock that civilization and ethics was born and the Jesus in his epoch emerged to me. There I feel completely at home.”
The Kingdom of God
Authors: Cicovacki Predrag 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The primitive Christian hope of an immediate coming of the Kingdom of God was based on the teaching of Jesus; yet, the fact that it remained unfulfilled did not shatter Christian faith. How was the catastrophe dealt with? What transformation of the faith enabled it to survive the surrender of the original expectation? Although the eschatological problem has been under discussion for more than a generation, until quite recently only three factors have usually been taken into consideration as determining the development and reshaping of Christian belief, namely, the struggle for unity, the conflict with second-century Gnosticism, and accommodation to Greek metaphysics. But these do not cover the whole ground. A fourth factor was at work, much more strongly than has been admitted, namely, the inescapable abandonment of the early hope of a speedy coming of the Kingdom of God. The effect of this has been studied in detail for the first time by Martin Werner in The Origin of the Christian Dogmas.
Religion in Modern Civilization
Authors: Cicovacki Predrag 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I am going to discuss religion in the spiritual life and civilization of our time. The first question to be faced, therefore, is: “Is religion a force in the spiritual life of our age?” I answer, in your name and mine, “No!” There is still religion in the world; there is much religion in the Church; there are many pious people among us. Christianity can still point to works of love and to social works of which it can be proud. There is a longing for religion among many who no longer belong to the churches. I rejoice to concede this. And yet we must hold fast to the fact that religion is not a force.
Pocket Guide to Crisis Intervention
Authors: Roberts Albert R , Yeager Kenneth R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Crisis workers make split-second decisions every day that affect the mental health and well-being of individuals, families, and entire communities. They support and guide people through health diagnoses, bankruptcies, sexual assaults, deaths of loved ones, suicide attempts, and natural or man-made disasters from the front lines. While professions vary from mental health professionals, emergency responders, educators, business managers or volunteers such as suicide hotline workers, all have a common and urgent need for a rapid reference that covers every type of traumatic event they may be asked to respond to in the course of an unpredictable and highly stressful day. The Pocket Guide to Crisis Intervention is a complete crisis toolkit, a trusted resource to consult on the fly, packed with easy-to-follow, step-by-step evidence-based protocols for responding effectively to a broad range of traumatic events. Checklists, bullets, and boxes highlight symptoms & warning signs and provide action plans, do’s & don’ts, and screening & assessment questions. The open layout and two-color design make this pocket guide as visually appealing as it practical, ensuring at-a-glance lookup of the essentials of managing the most common types of crisis. More than just a collection of action lists, though, this pocket guide explains theories and models in clear, jargon-free language, offering tips for clinical practice, treatment planning, referrals, and coordinating services as needed. It can be used as a field manual for seasoned professionals or as a training tool for new recruits and practitioners seeking to sharpen their skills.
Burgess and Roberts’ Stress-Crisis-Trauma Continuum
Authors: Roberts Albert R , Yeager Kenneth R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As the primary objective of medical and mental health treatment is to do no harm, all mental health professionals and their clients will benefit from applying the seven-level Stress-Crisis-Trauma Continuum of Burgess and Roberts. By determining the level and category under which the person in crisis presents with, clinicians will be in an optimal position to determine the best treatment for the patient. The seven levels and the appropriate treatment for each are shown in Figure 6.1.
Suicide Risk Assessment Protocol and Warning Signs
Authors: Roberts Albert R , Yeager Kenneth R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There are approximately 31,500 suicides in the United States every year. That is approximately 86 suicides per day; or 1 suicide every 17 minutes. This translates to an annual suicide rate of 10.8 per 100,000. Suicide is the third leading cause of death between ages 15 and 24 in the United States and the eighth leading cause of death for all ages. In the United States, persons kill themselves more frequently than they kill others.
Crisis Intervention With Accident Survivors
Authors: Roberts Albert R , Yeager Kenneth R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The need for crisis intervention in accidents is frequently underestimated. The number of people killed in traffic accidents every year is daunting: 42,682 in 2006. Encouragingly, data from the National Health, Transportation, and Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicates that the number of traffic fatalities in the United States declined 2% during 2005–2006, or 1.42 fatalities per 1 million miles driven—the lowest number in American history (National Health Transportation and Safety Administration, 2006). However, the number of people injured in other types of accidents has been rising. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there were approximately 108 million emergency room visits in the United States between 2004 and 2005. Many of these were the result of accidents, including work-related falls, traffic, crimes, and accidental drug/medication reactions (American College of Emergency Physicians [ACEP], 2008).
Crisis Intervention After Terrorist Bombings in Planes, Railroads, or Buildings: The ACT Model of Crisis
Authors: Roberts Albert R , Yeager Kenneth R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Trauma-provoking and crisis-inducing events have escalated in frequency and prevalence throughout the world. The spectrum of crisis events ranges across public events that impact large segments of society, such as a commercial airliner crash, terrorist bombings, or attacks of buildings, railroads, or other forms of terrorist attacks. Hundreds of thousands of individuals become so distressed and overwhelmed by a life-threatening or traumatic event that they rapidly experience an acute crisis episode. Every year millions of individuals are confronted with crisis-producing events that they are unable to resolve on their own, and they frequently seek help from crisis-intervention programs, crisisintervention units of community mental health centers, outpatient clinics, family counseling agencies, and clinicians in private practice.
The Life Program for MS
Authors: Epstein Susan J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Due to some of the limitations imposed by MS, such as chronic fatigue, depression, and muscle weakness, patients often become sedentary, gaining excess weight and developing poor eating and exercise habits. The LIFE Program for MS is a user-friendly teaching tool that helps sufferers to incorporate new behaviors into their daily routines, to live a healthier life and reduce the chances of secondary illnesses, such as cancer, stroke, and heart disease. Drawing on her own experience as a professional athlete, as well as her work at the Jacobs Neurological Institute in Buffalo, New York, Susan J. Epstein provides readers with tips and strategies for healthy eating, managing weight, incorporating exercise into daily life, and managing and conserving both mental and physical energy for daily living. She also emphasizes the importance of establishing a support system of coaches who can provide the MS patient with motivation and reinforcement. Finally, she addresses the unpredictable factors in life that affect behavior outcomes, whether family, environment, vocation, or self-awareness.
Imagining the Balkans
Authors: Todorova Maria 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
If the Balkans hadn’t existed, they would have been invented was the verdict of Count Hermann Keyserling in his famous 1928 publication, Europe. Over ten years ago, Maria Todorova traced the relationship between the reality and the invention. Based on a rich selection of travelogues, diplomatic accounts, academic surveys, journalism, and belles-lettres in many languages, Imagining the Balkans explored the ontology of the Balkans from the sixteenth century to the present day, uncovering the ways in which an insidious intellectual tradition was constructed, became mythologized, and is still being transmitted as discourse. Maria Todorova, who was raised in the Balkans, is in a unique position to bring both scholarship and sympathy to her subject, and in a new afterword she reflects on recent developments in the study of the Balkans and political developments on the ground since the publication of Imagining the Balkans. The afterword explores the controversy over Todorova’s coining of the term Balkanism. With this work, Todorova offers a timely, updated, accessible study of how an innocent geographic appellation was transformed into one of the most powerful and widespread pejorative designations in modern history.
Debī Chaudhurānī
Authors: Chatterji Bankimchandra 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is the second in a trilogy of works by the famed Bengali novelist Bankimcandra Chatterji (1838-1894), and the second to be translated by Julius Lipner. The first, Anandamath, or The Sacred Brotherhood was published by OUP in 2005. Bankim Chatterji was perhaps the foremost novelist and intellectual mediating western ideas to India in the latter half of the 19th century. Debi Chaudhurani is a didactic work that champions a particular interpretation of Hindu dharma and wifely duties reflective of the late 19th-century Calcutta context in which it was written. But the story is also compelling. Written in a conversational style, it features surprising plot twists and ideas that are, even today, revolutionary in their daring. Most notably, Bankim makes a woman the embodiment of Lord Krishna's salvific message, as originally enunciated in the Bhagavad Gita. The protagonist, Debi, is a complex figure who is a rejected wife, becomes a bandit queen, represents a goddess figure, and symbolizes the land of India. There is a creative tension between her strength as a leader and her correct role, from the perspective of the author, as a domestic wife. Bankim also focuses on caste and what it means to be a genuine Brahmin, who is transformed by the author into a man who executes responsibilities instead of demanding privileges. Within the context of the teachings of the Gita, the author shares his vision of social activism to improve India. Lipner's idiomatic translation is enhanced by his detailed commentary on the original Bengali text and by a readable introduction that sets the novel and its ideas in context.
Introduction
Authors: Chatterji Bankimchandra 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Bankim Chatterji (1838–94) began Debī Chaudhurānī as a serial in the December 1882 issue (Bengali Era (B.E.): Paus. 1289) of the monthly journal, Bangadarśan, which he had created ten years earlier.1 Ostensibly, it is a tale set in the last quarter of the eighteenth century in the district of Rangpur situated in the northern sector of the greater Bengal of the day. A young, beautiful Brahmin woman—all of Bankim’s leading young women are beautiful—Prafulla by name, has been married off to the son of a rich landlord. The latter has refused to take her in as the result of a misunderstanding that is not her fault. He is a bigoted man who accuses his daughter-in-law of having lost caste. Consequently, she has no recourse but to live with her widowed mother in dire poverty. Before long, news reaches her in-laws that she has died. Prafulla, however, is very much alive: she had been abducted, but has escaped.
