Social Work and Simulations describes how simulated learning experiences can be a powerful modality for social work education. Based on a variety of realistic situations and guided by the creation of a safe learning environment, students actively engage in and observe simulations followed by group reflections and discussions. The simulations are a powerful and immersive learning experience for students and teachers alike. They fill an important gap in social work education as they provide students with realistic learning experiences about the more human elements of practice without real-life consequences before beginning work in the field.

This book illuminates the psychology of false belief that lies at the root of the kind of science denialism, political polarization, and rampant belief in misinformation and disinformation alike that has become so common in today's post-truth world.

The VATS Lobectomy Book aims to establish a standardized approach to lobectomy, utilizing a picture-based approach that shows the anatomy as it normally lies and how it changes after each step in the procedure. The images in the book are oversimplified by design; patients in the operating room will often look different from what is drawn, but the relationships will be the same. By understanding these relationships, surgeons will be able to operate with confidence even when the anatomy may not be readily visible. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand minimally invasive lobectomy through a clear, simplified approach.

Often overlooked by histories of the world's famous code systems, mid-nineteenth century America settled on a code of practice that elevated lawyers as the dominant force of the country's legal institutions. Law's Machinery draws on innovative methods in digital legal history and offers a sweeping intellectual, cultural, and political account of the modernization of American legal practice.

Temporary Measures explores the connection between labor migration and economic development by comparing the experiences of South Korea and the Philippines with contract labor migration. Suzy K. Lee traces the ways the governments of these countries developed policies to promote this type of migration, beginning in the middle of the 20th century. She argues that these policies had a significant impact on the economic trajectories of both countries, affecting not only the lives of the migrant workers who were "exported," but the countries' prospects for industrialization and development.

Traditional religion in the United States has suffered huge losses in recent decades. But we know a lot more about the fact that traditional American religion has declined than we do about why this is so. Why Religion Went Obsolete aims to change that. Drawing on survey data and hundreds of interviews, Christian Smith offers a sweeping, multifaceted account of why Americans have lost faith in traditional religion.

The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence features an annual review of global issues and legal developments from international courts and tribunals. The 2023 edition explores threats to democracy and the environment, international reparations issues, the implications of the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine conflicts pertaining to international law, and the legality of the ECOWAS's intervention in Niger, among other topics.

Impartiality is a central norm in United Nations peace operations that has long been associated with passive monitoring of cease-fires and peace agreements. In the twenty-first century, however, its meaning has been stretched to allow for a range of forceful, intrusive, and ideologically prescriptive practices. In Intrusive Impartiality, Marion Laurence explains how these new ways of being "impartial" emerge, how they spread within and across missions, and how they become institutionalized across UN peace operations. In doing so, Laurence sheds light on controversial changes in peacekeeping practice and provides an innovative framework for studying authority and change in global governance.

In Responsibility & Desert, Michael McKenna defends a theory of moral responsibility that explains the relationship between a wrongdoer and those who blame or punish on analogy with a conversation between speakers of a shared language. In central cases, blame functions like a conversational reply to another whose act bears a meaning revealing the morally objectionable quality of her will. But such blaming responses can be harmful. McKenna defends the thesis that they can nevertheless be justified in terms of desert, and he resists several criticisms of desert-based justifications for blame and punishment.

Mining magnate, politician, and imperialist, Cecil Rhodes had a larger-than-life impact on the development of Southern Africa and the extension of British imperial power. This critical biography of Rhodes elaborates his life and times, showing how his racist politics impacted mining, industry, transportation, warfare, and society, while discussing his controversial and enduring legacies.

The Catholic Beethoven offers a new view of Beethoven and his religious music by demonstrating that both the composer and his sacred works were influenced by the German Catholicism of his era to a much greater extent than has been thought. It draws on revisionist historical research into the role of religion in the Enlightenment, especially the Catholic Enlightenment, to interpret both the composer's religious works and documentary evidence of his spiritual outlook. In addition, it is the first book-length treatment of Beethoven's sacred music that is not focused only on the Missa solemnis, but also examines the Mass in C, Christus am Ölberge, and the Gellert Lieder.

Gospel singer and seven-time Grammy winner Andraé Crouch (1942-2015) hardly needs introduction. His compositions--"The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power," "Through It All," "My Tribute (To God be the Glory)," "Jesus is the Answer," "Soon and Very Soon," and others--remain staples in modern hymnals, and he is often spoken of in the same "genius" pantheon as Mahalia Jackson, Thomas Dorsey and the Rev. James Cleveland. As the definitive biography of Crouch published to date, Soon and Very Soon celebrates the many ways that his legacy indelibly changed the course of gospel and popular music.

The second edition of Frederick Ashton's Ballets: Style, Performance, Choreography adds two further ballets to this ground-breaking study of Frederick Ashton's choreography. It not only examines the contribution these ballets made to twentieth century dance art, but also presents a detailed account of Ashton's work and dances, demonstrating his remarkable choreographic and artistic talent.

The story of a road trip undertaken in early summer 1791 through upstate New York and New England by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. A Journey North opens a window onto the post-revolutionary landscape, illuminating the origins of the remarkable bond between two founding figures--one that endured for fifty years and remains one of the most consequential and significant friendships in American political history.

The Things She Carried provides a thorough and surprising examination of the purse--an object that generations of Americans have used to achieve a host of social, cultural, and political objectives over the last two centuries. Kathleen Casey examines a variety of sources and finds purses at fraught historical moments, where they serve important symbolic, psychological, or economic functions for their users.

The Oxford Handbook of the History of Archaeology offers comprehensive perspectives on the origins and developments of the discipline of archaeology and the direction of future advances in the field. Written by thirty-six archaeologists and historians from all over the world, it covers a wide range of themes and debates, including biographical accounts of key figures, scientific techniques and archaeological fieldwork practices, institutional contexts, and the effects of religion, nationalism, and colonialism on the development of archaeology.

In this book, Natalia Forrat describes two models of authoritarianism: the first in which people see the state as their team leader and the other where they trust informal (non-state) leaders and see the state as a source of perks or punishment. Forrat compares the structures of political machines in four Russian regions, finding that the two maintaining unity-based authoritarianism demonstrated a stable performance across multiple elections, while the other two delivered less stable results. Carefully crafted and sophisticated, Forrat's theory of authoritarian power sheds new light on state-society relations in Russia and helps explain the divergent patterns of regime maintenance strategies in authoritarian countries throughout the world.

Bliss Against the World critically analyzes and systematically reconstructs the work of German Idealist and Romantic philosopher Friedrich Schelling (1775--1854). In Schelling's concept of bliss (Seligkeit), the idea of salvation from the world mutates into a burning concern with the negativity of the modern world and with the way modernity inherits the Christian promise of a non-alienated future that never arrives. Schelling emerges from this account as a key thinker of modernity and of the Christian modern trajectory as a path to salvation in the shadow of whose failure we continue to live.

Where does confidence come from, especially when we attempt something new? How do we justify judgments prone to mistake and disagreement? Drawing on more than thirty years of research, Amar Bhidé cuts through esoteric theories and glib "how-tos" to explain the practical ways we cope with uncertainties. Weaving together forgotten insights from the economist Frank Knight and other great twentieth-century thinkers, Bhidé presents a fresh perspective that sheds light on surprising aspects of entrepreneurship, from why startups and giants coexist to how vividly described possibilities help make the imagined real.

Problem-solving courts are special courts that do not simply punish offenders, but employ other justice and psychology principles to help solve the underlying social issues that contributed to the crime. The prevalence and practice of problem-solving courts vary widely around the world. Society, Science, and Problem-Solving Courts lays out the societal and scientific factors that explain the development of problem-solving courts, and chart a path for their future.

The Prosthetic Arts of Moby-Dick offers the first book-length study of how disability shapes one of the world's most iconic novels. Rather than see Ahab's lost limb as a deficiency, it explores the way that his prosthesis becomes both a means to power and a key figure for understanding the role that Islamic cultures plays in the novel's plot and form.

The Last Romantic in His Own Words presents the selected writings and interviews of Hungarian pianist, conductor, and composer Ernst von Dohnányi. These texts shed new light on Dohnányi's singular aesthetics, as well as on his career as a charismatic and at times controversial public figure who was one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century, particularly in Hungary. The book facilitates a much-needed reevaluation of a public figure and private individual caught up in the web of twentieth-century politics, resulting in a picture that is more complete than ever of one of the most elusive musicians of the twentieth century.
