Rethinking the Rhetorical Presidency

In The Rhetorical Presidency Jeffrey Tulis argues that the president’s relationship to the public has changed dramatically since the Constitution was enacted: while previously the president avoided any discussions of public policy so as to avoid demagoguery the president is now expected to go directly to the public using all the tools of rhetoric to influence public policy. This has effectively created a second Constitution that has been layered over and in part contradicts the original one. In our volume scholars from different subfields of political science extend Tulis’s perspective to the judiciary and Congress; locate the origins of the constitutional change in the Progressive Era; highlight the role of Theodore Roosevelt Woodrow Wilson and the mass media in transforming the presidency; discuss the nature of demagoguery and whether in fact rhetoric is undesirable; and relate the rhetorical presidency to the public’s ignorance of the workings of a government more complex than the Founders imagined. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society. | Rethinking the Rhetorical Presidency

Butler Matters Judith Butler's Impact on Feminist and Queer Studies

Since the 1990 publication of Gender Trouble Judith Butler has had a profound influence on how we understand gender and sexuality corporeal politics and political action both within and outside the academy. This collection which considers not only Gender Trouble but also Bodies That Matter Excitable Speech and The Psychic Life of Power attests to the enormous impact Butler's work has had across disciplines. In analyzing Butler's theories the contributors demonstrate their relevance to a wide range of topics and fields including activism archaeology film literature pedagogy and theory. Included is a two-part interview with Judith Butler herself in which she responds to questions about queer theory the relationship between her work and that of other gender theorists and the political impact of her ideas. In addition to the editors contributors include Edwina Barvosa-Carter Robert Alan Brookey Kirsten Campbell Angela Failler Belinda Johnston Rosemary A.

Women and Travel Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

Women and Travel: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives is a fascinating look at the behavior motivations experiences and needs of women as tourists and travellers drawing on both historic and contemporary eras. Surprisingly little research has explored key issues experiences and opportunities in the context of women’s travel. This revealing volume fills this gap exploring the discourses debates and discussions about women travel and tourism. With an international roster of contributors from diverse regions of the world the book celebrates a variety of women’s voices. Khoo-Lattimore and Wilson deliberately sought to include nontraditional and non-Western perspectives on women’s travel with inclusions of Asian solo female travelers; Islamic women travellers and the constraints placed on them; and women who cannot travel (or choose for whatever reason a ‘home holiday’). This enlightening volume brings together scholars from the broad areas of tourism hospitality geography and leisure studies to examine how and why women travel. The chapters bring light to perspectives from different countries cultures backgrounds and religions and utilize different methods approaches and styles of presentation. Women and Travel: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives will be of interest to academics and graduate students from a range of disciplines including tourism leisure studies sociology cultural geography anthropology feminist and gender studies business economics and management; as well as professionals working in the tourism industry particularly those with an interest in niche markets and segmentation. | Women and Travel Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

Introduction to Strong Interactions Theory and Applications

This is a problem-oriented introduction to the main ideas methods and problems needed to form a basic understanding of the theory of strong interactions. Each section contains solid but concise technical foundations to key concepts of the theory and the level of rigor is appropriate for readers with a background in physics (rather than mathematics). It begins with a foundational introduction to topics including SU(N) group hadrons and effective SU(3) symmetric flavor lagrangians constituent quarks in hadrons quarks and gluons as fundamental fields. It then discusses Quantum chromodynamics as a gauge field theory functional integration and Wilson lines and loops before moving on to discuss gauge–fixing and Faddeev – Popov ghosts Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin symmetry and lattice methods. It concludes with a discussion on the anomalies and the strong CP problem effective action chiral perturbation theory deep inelastic scattering and derivation and solution of the Dokshitzer - Gribov - Lipatov - Altarelli - Parisi equations. Constructed as a one-term course on strong interactions for advanced students it will be a useful self-study guide for graduate and PhD students of high energy physics Quantum Chromodynamics and the Standard Model. Features Covers both basic introductory topics in addition to more advanced content. Accompanied by over 200 problems starting from group algebra to the derivation of Migdal-Makeenko equations Kim - Shifman - Vainshtein - Zakharov axion and gluon + gluon to Higgs cross section etc. Solutions are incorporated into the chapters to test understanding. | Introduction to Strong Interactions Theory and Applications

Physics and Future of Hurricanes

This monograph is about hurricanes prompted by a discovery that suggests they will become more powerful with global warming. It provides at a college physics level a basic understanding of hurricanes emphasizing the flow of energy into and out of these storms and as a textbook covers some material that might be taught in meteorology or atmospheric physics courses. The text is centered on a new discovery that is not in any existing textbook. Because of the new discovery the book is of immediate interest to all meteorologists. It turns out that hurricanes as revealed by the new discovery are usefully regarded as a separate phase of matter bringing in characteristic temperature dependences near their transitions. The role of phase change in understanding hurricanes brings in the 20th-century discoveries in theoretical physics relating to critical phenomena with non-intuitive values of the critical exponent β entering the formula P = const (T – Tc)β where P is a characteristic strength parameter or order parameter of the phase of matter appearing at Tc. According to the new discovery on hurricanes it appears that taking the wind velocity as the order parameter P the critical exponent is near 1/3. In a second discovery we find that a small correction to this value is brought in by the complicated physics of the renormalization group that earned K. G. Wilson the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1982. | Physics and Future of Hurricanes

Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

These documents were selected by Rear-Admiral Thursfield for the light they throw on life afloat in the Navy of the Napoleonic era rather than for their contribution to the history of the operations in which their authors took part. They comprise four ‘Journals’ based mainly on dairies kept at the time and written up at a later date for enjoyment by the author’s friends and family. The fifth document is not a journal at all but the Order Book of a frigate captain. In addition eleven letters are included written by men from the lower deck. Each journal is headed by an Introduction which puts it in its historical context. The journal of the Rev Edward Mangin is a lively record of life aboard a 74-gun battleship in 1812 written by a clergyman who was deeply shocked by the events and deaths he witnessed. Four of the paintings he made on the Gloucester are reproduced. Peter Cullen’s journal covers the period 1789-1802 starting from the time he joined the Navy as an assistant surgeon. He gives a long account of the mutiny at the Nore and was present at Nelson’s battle at Copenhagen. Robert Wilson was a pressed man an able seaman promoted to be signalman on the smart frigate Unité from 1805 to 1809. His journal is packed with details of the many varied duties she undertook in the Mediterranean in the post-Trafalgar period and how these affected her officers and crew. Charles Abbot was a midshipman on the Alceste when she carried Lord Amherst to China as ambassador in 1816 and sank off Borneo on her return voyage. | Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

Paleoconservatism as a concept came into circulation during the 1980s as a rejoinder to the rise of neoconservatism. It signifies a brand of conservatism that rose up in opposition to the New Deal setting itself against the centralizing trends that define modern politics to champion the republican virtues of self-governance and celebrate the nation's varied and colorful regional cultures. This volume brings together key writings of the major representatives of Old Right thought past and present. The essays included here define a coherent intellectual tradition linking New York libertarians to unreconstructed Southern traditionalists to Midwestern agrarians. Part I is devoted to the founding fathers of the modern conservative movement. Essays by Frank Chodorov Murray Rothbard and James Burnham attack economic aspects of the New Deal big government in general and high taxes. Russell Kirk introduces the cultural paleoconservatism with its preference for social classes and distinctions of age and sex while Richard Weaver explains why culture is more important to a civilization's survival than mere material conditions. The second part covers the contemporary resurgence of the Old Right. Chilton Williamson Jr. sets out the argument against large-scale immigration on cultural and economic grounds. The divisive issue of trade is covered. William Hawkins outlines a mercantilist trade policy at odds with the free trade libertarianism of Chodorov and Rothbard. On education Allan Carlson goes further than the Beltway Right in his advocacy of home schooling. M. E. Bradford shows how the doctrine of equality of opportunity inevitably leads to greater and more tyrannical state action. The contemporary culture wars are the focus of Thomas Fleming Paul Gottfried Clyde Wilson and Samuel Francis who search for the roots of American nationalism the lessons to be drawn from the past and how they may be applied in the future. | The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

The Social Psychology of Change Management Theories and an Evidence-Based Perspective on Social and Organizational Beings

Changes are rarely accomplished by individuals. People are social animals and changes are social processes which have to be organized. Social psychology is essential for the effectiveness and development of the field of change management. It is necessary to understand people in change processes. Social psychology also teaches us that meaning is key during change and intervention. Social psychology makes change management comprehensible to people and allows them to consider their actions in groups and the organization on their merits. They may seem obvious and self-evident but practice and science as well as the popular change management literature show that it is not. Drawing on the field of social psychology and based on primary research The Social Psychology of Change Management presents more than forty social psychological theories and concepts that are relevant for the field of change management. The theories and concepts are analyzed and categorized following Fiske’s five core social motives; belonging understanding controlling enhancing self and trusting. Each theory will have an introduction in which its assumptions and relevance is explained. By studying the scientific evidence including meta-analytic evidence the book provides practitioners students and academics in the field of change management organizational behaviour and business strategy the most relevant social psychological ideas and best available evidence thereby further unleashing the potential of social psychology in order to feed the field of change management. By categorizing and integrating the relevant theories and concepts change management is enriched and restructured in a prudent positive and practical way. The overarching goal however inspired by the ideas and perspective of leading thinkers like Kurt Lewin James Q. Wilson and Susan T. Fiske is to make the world a better place. Social psychologists (being social scientists) study practical social issues in our case issues related to change management and application to real-world problems is a key goal. Therefore this book goes beyond the domain of organizational sciences. | The Social Psychology of Change Management Theories and an Evidence-Based Perspective on Social and Organizational Beings
