    Camp TV of the 1960s is the first book on camp on television that considers the various forms it took during that critical decade. It reconsiders American prime-time programs that drew significantly on aspects of camp such as Batman, The Monkees, The Addams Family, Bewitched, F Troop, British programs including The Avengers, and programs not often associated with camp TV like Snagglepuss. Thebook also investigates how musical codes convey camp humor, camp's origins and later reappropriation within queer communities, and how camp's multiple meanings allowed for more conservative readings that led to its mass dissemination by the seventies.

    Richly illustrated, Oar Feet and Opal Teeth by Charles B. Miller introduces readers to free-living copepods. Copepods are small crustaceans found only in water. Although they play a critical role in maintaining ecological balance in lakes and oceans, most people are unfamiliar with them. In Oar Feet and Opal Teeth, Miller characterizes their shape, oar-like feet for escaping predators, and stone-like teeth. He also discusses copepods' internalanatomy, life cycle variations, and how they capture food and avoid predators. In addition, Oar Feet and Opal Teeth features profiles of several leading copepodologists, providing insight into how scientists study these complex and fascinating animals.

    Friedrich Nietzsche did his philosophizing while he was coming apart at the seams. His writing is disorienting for readers because he was all over the place when he produced it. But Nietzsche's philosophy is about coming apart at the seams and being all over the place, and it is a philosophy meant to cope with that predicament-which makes it both fascinating and important. Elijah Millgram provides a new way of reading Nietzsche through this insight. Nietzsche notonly recommended that you invent values for yourself; his books show you how it is done, and what it is to make a value you invent into the meaning of your life.

    Healthcare providers are constantly confronted with illness and injury, and the challenges of healing. Yet this very work, the relief of suffering, inflicts on healthcare providers suffering of their own that is often crippling. The most common terms for the pain caregivers and healers suffer from are burnout and moral distress. These common terms are, however, often used judgmentally-as if those trying to heal others have failed themselves, their colleagues, andtheir patients. The net result is that much discussion of burnout and moral distress, and the interventions they underwrite, have served only to worsen the crisis.Into the Field of Suffering: Finding the Other Side of Burnout provides a much-needed reframing of burnout and moral distress. These depleting experiences are approached as trials virtually inevitable in the course of the healer's vocation. The challenge medical professionals and caregivers face is not avoiding them, but meeting them directly with insight into the role of moral distress and burnout in the development of their vocation. Into the Field of Suffering presents aset of analytical frameworks and awareness skills, which have the potential to transform the work of healers and caregivers.

    We spend a lot of time looking for explanations and arguing about them, especially causal explanations, of phenomena large and small. But what makes for good causal explanations, and how do we tell them apart from bad ones? This book aims to think through these philosophical issues by re-examining Aristotle's theory of causal explanation, which is one of the oldest and most influential. Nathanael Stein drops many common assumptions and brings together ideas that arenormally discussed in isolation, with the aim of answering the philosophical questions that have perplexed Aristotle's readers.

    John Locke was one of history's greatest polymaths. In addition to writing books on philosophy and political science, he also wrote theological books. His best-known theological work is The Reasonableness of Christianity, a book credited as being a window into the theological thoughts of John Locke. Scholars have made arguments from the book about why Locke is partial to a particular sect or an admixture of a couple of them. This book argues, however, thatscholars have not recognized that Locke's book was not intended to be a promulgation of his personal theology, but rather a program that most professed Christians could agree upon, particularly in the areas of eternal salvation and divine revelation.

    Elections occur in all democracies and many non-democratic regimes as well. They determine who will hold public office and who will have the power to govern. They connect citizens to those whom they choose to make decisions on their behalf and who regulate their behavior. This concise volume asks readers to view election systems critically and comparatively, to understand that all democracies do not function in the same way, to think about the reasons their systemfunctions as it does-for good or ill-and to consider alternatives with which they might not previously have been familiar. L. Sandy Maisel and Jennifer A. Yoder lay out the variety of electoral systems-single-member district plurality systems; proportional systems; and mixed systems. They discuss voting and the electoral systems, analyze the consequences of each system, and close with a discussion of reforms under consideration in a number of countries.

    In Understanding Territorial Withdrawal, Rob Geist Pinfold focuses on what causes occupying states to either abandon occupation or further entrench themselves. He looks primarily at Israel and constructs a generalizable framework for understanding territorial withdrawal. He then applies this framework to the episodes he examines: Israel's withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula between 1974-1982; its "unilateral" withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000; and its"unilateral disengagement" from the Gaza Strip in 2005. A powerful analysis of a central concern for the studies of international security, territorial conflict, and the Arab-Israel conflict alike, this book provides a critical intervention to show why occupying powers sometimes stay, and why they sometimesleave.

  • av Matthew M. (Sociology Faculty Hollander
    935

    This book offers a new explanation of obedience and defiance in Milgram's lab. Examining one of the largest collections of Milgram's original audiotapes, Hollander and Turowetz scrutinize participant behavior in not only the experiments themselves, but also recordings of the subsequent debriefing interviews in which participants were asked to reflect on their actions. Introducing an original theoretical framework in the sociology of morality, they show that, contraryto traditional understandings of Milgram's experiments that highlight obedience, virtually all subjects, both compliant and defiant, mobilized practices to resist the authority's commands. By illuminating the relationship between concrete moral dilemmas and social interaction, Hollander and Turowetztell a new, empirically-grounded story about Milgram: one about morality-and immorality-in the making of sense and self.

    In the first postmodern, genealogical history of social work, this book identifies common practices of a particular era to inform the description of a cultural and philosophical framework that allows the reader to "step inside the shoes" of people from that era and understand the practices through their eyes. These insights are then utilized to promote moral reflection of current practices of social welfare and hopefully avoid moral lapses that may arise from ourpresent biases of understanding.
