Social Equity and LGBTQ Rights Dismantling Discrimination and Expanding Civil Rights

Can a baker refuse to make a wedding cake for a gay couple? Despite the U. S. Supreme Court decision guaranteeing marriage equality in 2015 lesbian gay bisexual transgender and queer (LGBTQ) citizens in the United States continue to be discriminated against in fundamental areas that others take for granted as a legal right. Using social equity theory and intersectionality but written in an accessible style this book demonstrates some of the ways in which LGBTQ citizens have been marginalized for their identity and argues that the field of public administration has a unique responsibility to prioritize social equity. Categories utilized by the U. S. Census Bureau (male or female heterosexual or homosexual) for example must shift to a continuum to accurately capture demographic characteristics and citizen behavior. Evidenced-based outcomes and disparities between cisgender and heterosexual and LGBTQ populations are carefully delineated to provide a legal rationale for a compelling governmental interest and policy recommendations are provided – including overdue federal legislation to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. | Social Equity and LGBTQ Rights Dismantling Discrimination and Expanding Civil Rights

Max Weber and Islam

Max Weber and Islam is a major effort by Islamic-studies specialists to reexamine and appraise Max Weber's perspectives on Islam and its historical development. Eight specialists on Islam and two sociologists explore many dimensions of Weber's comments on Islam along with Weber's conceptual framework. The volume's introduction links the discussions to contemporary issues and debates. Wolfgang Schluchter reconstructs Weber's conceptual apparatus as it applies to Islam and its historical development. In subsequent chapters Islamic specialists consider such major topics as the developmental history of Islam Islamic fundamentalism Islamic reform Islamic law and capitalism secularization in Islam as well as the value of attempting to apply Weber's concept of sects to Islam. While some authors find flaws in Weber's factual knowledge of Islam they also find considerable merit in the kinds of questions Weber raised. Contributors to the volume include highly respected contemporary international scholars of Islam: Ira Lapidus Nehemia Levtzion Richard M. Eaton Peter Hardy Rudolph Peters Barbara Metcalf Francis Robinson Patricia Crone Michael Cook and S. N. Eisenstadt. Toby Huff's introduction not only knits the thematics of the separate essays together but adds its own stresses while engaging the contributors in dialogue and debate about fundamental issues. This acute collective analysis establishes a new benchmark for understanding Weber and Islam. This book also provides an up-to-date overview of the developmental history of many aspects of Islam. A major reappraisal of the entire span of Max Weber's sociological thought on Islam this book will appeal to a wide range of scholars and laymen interested in the Islamic world. It will be of particular interest to sociologists specializing in religion and Middle East area specialists.

Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites

Wood has played a major role throughout human history. Strong and versatile the earliest humans used wood to make shelters cook food construct tools build boats and make weapons. Recently scientists politicians and economists have renewed their interest in wood because of its unique properties aesthetics availability abundance and perhaps most important of all its renewability. However wood will not reach its highest use potential until we fully describe it understand the mechanisms that control its performance properties and finally are able to manipulate those properties to give us the desired performance we seek. The Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites analyzes the chemical composition and physical properties of wood cellulose and its response to natural processes of degradation. It describes safe and effective chemical modifications to strengthen wood against biological chemical and mechanical degradation without using toxic leachable or corrosive chemicals. Expert researchers provide insightful analyses of the types of chemical modifications applied to polymer cell walls in wood. They emphasize the mechanisms of reaction involved and resulting changes in performance properties including modifications that increase water repellency fire retardancy and resistance to ultraviolet light heat moisture mold and other biological organisms. The text also explores modifications that increase mechanical strength such as lumen fill monomer polymer penetration and plasticization. The Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites concludes with the latest applications such as adhesives geotextiles and sorbents and future trends in the use of wood-based composites in terms of sustainable agriculture biodegradability and recycling and economics. Incorporating decades of teaching experience the editor of this handbook is well-attuned to educational demands as well as industry standards and research trends.

Trust and Conflict Representation Culture and Dialogue

Trust distrust and conflict between social groups have existed throughout the history of humankind although their forms have changed. Using three main concepts: culture representation and dialogue this book explores and re-thinks some of these changes in relation to concrete historical and contemporary events. Part I offers a symbolic and historical analysis of trust and distrust while Parts II and III examine trust distrust and conflict in specific events including the Cyprus conflict Estonian collective memories coping with HIV/AIDS in China Swedish asylum seekers the Cuban missile crisis and Stalinist confessions. With an impressive array of international contributors the chapters draw on a number of key concepts such as self and other ingroup and outgroup contact between groups categorization brinkmanship knowledge beliefs and myth. Trust and Conflict offers a fresh perspective on the problems that arise from treating trust distrust and conflict as simplified indicators. Instead it proposes that human and social sciences can view these phenomena within the complex matrix of interacting perspectives and meta-perspectives that characterise the social world. As such it will be of interest to undergraduates postgraduates and lecturers of human and social sciences especially social psychology sociology political science and communication studies. | Trust and Conflict Representation Culture and Dialogue

Games Gambling and Probability An Introduction to Mathematics

Many experiments have shown the human brain generally has very serious problems dealing with probability and chance. A greater understanding of probability can help develop the intuition necessary to approach risk with the ability to make more informed (and better) decisions. The first four chapters offer the standard content for an introductory probability course albeit presented in a much different way and order. The chapters afterward include some discussion of different games different ideas that relate to the law of large numbers and many more mathematical topics not typically seen in such a book. The use of games is meant to make the book (and course) feel like fun! Since many of the early games discussed are casino games the study of those games along with an understanding of the material in later chapters should remind you that gambling is a bad idea; you should think of placing bets in a casino as paying for entertainment. Winning can obviously be a fun reward but should not ever be expected. Changes for the Second Edition: New chapter on Game Theory New chapter on Sports Mathematics The chapter on Blackjack which was Chapter 4 in the first edition appears later in the book. Reorganization has been done to improve the flow of topics and learning. New sections on Arkham Horror Uno and Scrabble have been added. Even more exercises were added! The goal for this textbook is to complement the inquiry-based learning movement. In my mind concepts and ideas will stick with the reader more when they are motivated in an interesting way. Here we use questions about various games (not just casino games) to motivate the mathematics and I would say that the writing emphasizes a just-in-time mathematics approach. Topics are presented mathematically as questions about the games themselves are posed. Table of Contents Preface1. Mathematics and Probability 2. Roulette and Craps: Expected Value 3.
