Reassesses thirty years of domestic violence research and demonstrates three forms of partner violence, distinctive in their origins, effects, and treatments
Domestic violence, a serious and ...far-reaching social problem, has generated two key debates among researchers. The first debate is about gender and domestic violence. Some scholars argue that domestic violence is primarily male-perpetrated, others that women are as violent as men in intimate relationships. Johnson’s response to this debate—and the central theme of this book—is that there is more than one type of intimate partner violence. Some studies address the type of violence that is perpetrated primarily by men, while others are getting at the kind of violence that women areinvolved in as well. Because there has been no theoretical framework delineating types of domestic violence, researchers have easily misread one another’s studies.
The second major debate involves how many women are abused each year by their partners. Estimates range from two to six million. Johnson’s response once again comes from this book’s central theme. If there is more than one type of intimate partner violence, then the numbers depend on what type you’re talking about.
Johnson argues that domestic violence is not a unitary phenomenon. Instead, he delineates three major, dramatically different, forms of partner violence: intimate terrorism, violent resistance, and situational couple violence. He roots the conceptual distinctions among the forms of violence in an analysis of the role of power and control in relationship violence and shows that the failure to make these basic distinctions among types of partner violence has produced a research literature that is plagued by both overgeneralizations and ostensibly contradictory findings. This volume begins the work of theorizing forms of domestic violence, a crucial first step to a better understanding of these phenomena among scholars, social scientists, policy makers, and service providers.

"La Place des Arts, le plus important centre de diffusion des arts de la scène au Canada, célébrait ses 50 ans à l’automne 2013. L’inauguration, le 21 septembre 1963, de la Grande Salle maintenant ...connue sous le nom de Wilfrid-Pelletier fut l’amorce d’un formidable mouvement de promotion et de développement des arts qui a transformé le paysage culturel du Québec et de sa métropole.
Aujourd’hui, la Place des Arts, c’est six salles de spectacles incluant la Maison symphonique, sans compter le Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. Lieu important de diffusion, elle est aussi un foyer actif de production artistique qui héberge plusieurs compagnies dans les domaines de la danse, du théâtre et de la musique. C’est un quadrilatère en continuelle effervescence au cœur du Quartier des spectacles qui s’est érigé sur son pourtour et qui se déploie sur la place des Festivals.
À l’occasion de ce cinquantième anniversaire, historiens, artistes et gestionnaires partagent ici leurs réflexions sur le rôle et l’influence de cette institution destinée à la diffusion et à la production d’œuvres et de spectacles qui a puissamment contribué à l’émergence de toute une industrie culturelle."
Learning to Emulate the Wise is the first book of a threevolume series that constructs a historically informed, multidisciplinary framework to examine how traditional Chinese knowledge systems and ...grammars of knowledge construction interacted with Western paradigms in the formation and development of modern academic disciplines in China. Within this volume, John Makeham and several other noted sinologists and philosophers explore how the field of "Chinese philosophy" (Zhongguo Zhexue) was born and developed in the early decades of the twentieth century, examining its growth and relationship with European, American, and Japanese scholarship and philosophy. The work discusses an array of representative institutions and individuals, including FengYoulan, Fu Sinian, Hu Shi, Jin Yuelin, Liang Shuming, Nishi Amane, Tang Yongtong, Xiong Shili, Zhang Taiyan, and a range of Marxist philosophers. The epilogue discusses the intellectualhistorical significance of these figures and throws into relief how Zhongguozhexue is understood today.

The distinguished American Indian photographer Lee Marmon has documented over sixty years of Laguna history: its people, customs, and cultural changes. Here more than one hundred of Marmon’s photos ...showcase his talents while highlighting the cohesive, adaptive, and independent character of the Laguna people.
Along with Marmon’s own oral history of the tribe and his family photos dating back to 1872, Tom Corbett presents archival images and historical research, making this the most complete published history of any southwestern pueblo. Marmon and Corbett also interviewed noted tribal elders and oral historians regarding customs, religious practices, and events of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The resulting narrative provides a fascinating story of survival through severe natural and man-made adversities, including droughts, plagues, marauding tribes, and cultural invasion. Through it all, Laguna has preserved its culture and retained sovereign powers over the pueblo and its territory.
This collection showcases the best writings of Stephen Graham Jones, whose career is developing rapidly from the noir underground to the mainstream. The Faster Redder Road features excerpts from ...Jones’s novels—including The Last Final Girl , The Fast Red Road: A Plainsong , Not for Nothing , and The Gospel of Z —and short stories, some never before published in book form. Examining Jones’s contributions to American literature as well as noir, Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.’s introduction puts Jones on the literary map.
An accessible guide to sports law highlighting landmark cases and personalities
Americans, brought up playing or watching sports, absorb the notions of fair play not simply as integral themes of ...sportsmanship on the field, but also as values they try to carry into their everyday lives. In this accessible and fascinating look at law and sports, Roger I. Abrams shines the lights on the uniquely complex and important legal issues that face both amateur and professional athletes. From cases involving Title IX, transgendered athletes, rights of the disabled, violence on the playing field, individual and franchise free-agency, amateurism and college sports, and responsibility of leagues for the safety and lifelong health of injured players, Abrams weaves a profoundly moving and immediately relevant story of ever broadening access to, and expanding rights within, the field of sports.
Abrams illuminates these legal cases through compelling storytelling and personal explorations of those involved, such as Jeremy Bloom, the world champion mogul skier who was barred from playing college football because he had modeled clothes for Tommy Hilfiger, and Casey Martin, Renee Richards, and the young gymnasts from Brown University who sought access to the sports they loved, but found that their quest to achieve justice required judicial intervention. There is also one non-athlete: Al Davis, the renegade owner of the Oakland–Los Angeles–Oakland Raiders, who beat the National Football League cartel using the antitrust laws in his effort to gain the respect he was always denied.
Written for sports fans and legal scholars alike, this is an engrossing and surprising story of people battling for their careers and lives, and in the process changing the very nature of sports and society.
Not-for-profit arts organizations struggled to survive the recent economic recession. In this increasingly hardscrabble environment, it is absolutely imperative that the boards of these organizations ...function as energetically, creatively, and efficiently as possible. Michael M. Kaiser's personal history with boards of arts organizations began when he served on the board of the Washington Opera (now the Washington National Opera) in 1983. Today, in his capacity as president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Kaiser recently completed a 50-state, 69-city Arts in Crisis tour. Board issues came up repeatedly as central to the success or failure of the organization. Drawing on these and many other conversations, nationally and internationally, Kaiser's book offers members of boards and staffs the information they need to create the healthy atmosphere necessary to thriving arts organizations. Organized in a clear, readable, question-and-answer format, Leading Roles covers every aspect of board participation in the life of the organization, including mission and governance; fundraising and marketing responsibilities; the relationship of the board to the artistic director, executive director, and staff; and its responsibilities for planning and budgeting. Kaiser addresses boards in crisis, international boards, and boards of arts organizations of color. Throughout, he emphasizes the importance of transparency and clarity in the board's dealings with its own members and those of the arts community of which it is a part, showing how anything less results in contentiousness that can immobilize an arts organization, or even tear it apart.
The wetland meadows and pastures (vegas) of the agricultural zone of
the Magallanes Region and the Chilean Patagonia are productive and
intensively exploited ecosystems. However, there is scarce data ...about
the typology and the physical and chemical properties of the soils that
determine the agricultural potential of vegas sites. Sampling of the
main horizons of 47 soil profiles was conducted throughout the area.
The profiles were described in the field and consequently classified
according to the soil typology system of the WRB (IUSS Working Group
WRB, 2006). Analyses of bulk and particle densities, capillary water
capacity, pH (H 2 0), pH (CaC1 2 ), texture, organic material, C:N
ratio, electrical conductivity, effective cation exchange capacity, N,
P, Ca-Mg-K-Na, exchangeable Al, extractable Al, sulfur SO4 2- , B, and
micronutrients (Cu-Zn-Mn-Fe) were carried out. The most frequently
recorded groups of soil types in the studied vegas were Histosols -
peat soils (20 profiles), and Fluvisols (19). Gleysols (3), Vertisols
(1), Regosols (3), Solonchaks (1) and Solonetzs (1) were detected with
much less frequency. There is also considerable variability in soil
properties among and within the groups of soil types. The principal
differences between the Histosols and the Fluvisols are the content of
organic matter (often peat), pH level (related to the absence/presence
of carbonates) and associated soil properties. Fluvisols are more
susceptible to salinization under conditions of aridity, whereas the
main threat to Histosols is artificial drainage.
