Computer-Mediated Communication

A Theoretical and Practical Introduction to Online Human Communication

By Caleb T. Carr

Computer-Mediated Communication explores how CMC intersects with and affects other communication subdisciplines, including interpersonal, organizational, and intergroup. Contemporary examples illustrate theories and application, but the text is written to allow and encourage students to think about their own media use in a broader and channel-agnostic mindset, applying what they learn beyond just Instagram and Snapchat, to make sense of their modern and digital world.

The focus on the theoretical processes that underlay human communication online helps the book remain current with emerging technologies. Theoretical approach is complemented and made accessible with real-world examples, immediate ways to apply knowledge, and a conversational and approachable writing style.

Caleb T. Carr is associate professor in the School of Communication at Illinois State University. His research addresses how new media alter communicative processes, including how social media are used for organizational uncertainty reduction, in group collaborations, and to create and maintain identity online.

Creative Expression and the Law

By Nancy Whitmore

“Creative Expression and the Law is an outstanding resource for content creators who wish to gain a comprehensive understanding of how to protect their own rights—and avoid infringing on the rights of others. Whitmore’s clear and engaging writing style makes this book a must-read for student and professional content creators. ” —Nina I. Brown, S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University Creative Expression and the Law helps readers better comprehend the legal pitfalls that can present themselves when artists and content creators are generating ideas, producing content and protecting and defending their creative work. In doing so, the book provides a deeper, more targeted examination of copyright, trademark and right of publicity law than is found in standard communication law texts. This examination focuses on how courts scrutinize and apply law to works of artwork and other forms of creative expression and how the constitutional strength of a First Amendment defense can vary across the legal and artistic landscape.

Nancy J. Whitmore is a professor of journalism in the Eugene S. Pulliam School of Journalism at Butler University.

She served as director of the school from 2008 to 2016.

Sex Crimes and Offenders

Exploring Questions of Character and Culture

By Mary Clifford and Alison Feigh

Structured in five parts, Sex Crimes and Offenders: Exploring Questions of Character and Culture uses healthy sexuality as a back drop for exploring the complicated issue of identifying and punishing sex crimes, defining the parameters of sexualized violence, and sexual violence prevention. The goal is to prevent harm, address hurts, hold perpetrators accountable, and eventually eliminate – to the degree possible—all future harms. The information presented explores individual treatment efforts, as well as the social and political responses designed to hold perpetrators accountable and help support victims. Essential resources made visible throughout this text are provided to help inform young people, families, faith communities and future practitioners, to raise important reflective questions, and to serve as a resource for anyone of any age who has suffered harm, or perpetrated harm, and is in need of support and healing. Finally, the book concludes by shining a light on the efforts each of us can take to identify, reduce, and work toward eliminating sexual violence and harms.

Mary Clifford has her Ph.D. in Justice Studies from Arizona State University and is a Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice Studies at St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Early Childhood Leadership

Motivation, Inspiration, Empowerment

By Lynn Marotz

Early Childhood Leadership: Motivation, Inspiration, Empowerment is a must-have book for anyone who occupies a leadership position (e.g., administrator, director, coordinator, team leader, manager, lead teacher) or anticipates doing so in the future. It addresses one of the most challenging workplace issues facing employers today— the ability to encourage employees’ creativity, productivity, and long-term commitment to an organization. Studies consistently show that low employee morale and high turnover rates are common in early childhood programs and, in turn, affect the quality of services provided for children and families. Unfortunately, strategies used by many supervisors to guide and manage employee behavior often contribute to employee dissatisfaction and attrition.

A sound understanding of motivational theory and skills (e.g., communication, leadership, team-building, decisionmaking) enables effective leaders to create positive work environments, boost employee morale, and encourage positive performance. When employees believe their efforts are being acknowledged and valued, they are less likely to leave their jobs—an additional and important benefit— especially in the field of early childhood education.

Lynn Marotz received a PhD in educational policy and leadership from the University of Kansas, an MEd from the University of Illinois, and a BS in nursing from the University of Wisconsin.

Sexuality Education for Students with Disabilities Edited by Thomas C. Gibbon, Elizabeth A. Harkins Monaco and David F. Bateman

“A comprehensive approach to educating students with disabilities about sexuality, relationships, and consent. The overall approach is admirable in its breadth and depth as well as being evidenced-based at every level.” —Jody Siker, Northeastern Illinois University People with disabilities have traditionally been denied access to sexuality education or the free expression of sexuality.

Editors Gibbon, Monaco, and Bateman and their contributors discuss the roles of family, culture, entertainment, education, and social media as they relate to sexuality education and explore contextual concepts such as intersectionality, the range of disabling conditions, and the connections between adolescent development and disability.

“Organized by transport mode as well as according to geographical scale, this excellent textbook offers a social science perspective on transport that is both comprehensive and clear. It is an essential guide for undergraduate courses in which transport is taught as a technological, social, economic, and political system and that aim to stimulate students to think critically about the many rapid changes that transport is currently experiencing.” —Tim Schwanen, University of Oxford This clear text provides a broad introduction to transportation geography.

Each mode covers global systems of transportation, how national identities or landscapes are shaped by transport, the impact of regional governance, the local scale and how it integrates with each of these systems, and how individuals and bodies are part of these systems as well.

Having exposed the colonial origins of the 2012 Maya Apocalypse at its vespers, Restall and Solari return to the scene of the crime with a decade of perspective to show how millenarianism or the belief in calculable cosmic destruction and renewal has been both a perennial Western project and a frequent Western projection onto other civilizations.” —Kris E. Lane, Tulane University This fascinating history explores the cultural roots of our civilization’s obsession with the end of the world. Busting the myth of the ancient Maya prediction that time would end in 2012, Matthew Restall and Amara Solari build on their previous book, 2012 and the End of the World, to use the Maya case to connect such seemingly disparate historical events as medieval European millenarianism, Moctezuma’s welcome to Cortés, Franciscan missionizing in Mexico, prophetic traditions in Yucatan, and the growing belief today in conspiracies and apocalypses.

Matthew Restall and Amara Solari are specialists in Maya culture and in colonial Mexican history and art history.

Both teach at the Pennsylvania State University, where Restall is a Sparks Professor in history and anthropology, and Solari is professor of art history and anthropology.

Spare No One

Mass Violence in Roman Warfare

By Gabriel Baker

“Spare No One is a must-read for anyone interested in the brutality of Roman warfare: it documents the acts of extreme violence carried out by Roman armies as a matter of routine in all periods, and it explains how and why victory on the battlefield was often followed by mass executions, the enslavement of civilian populations, or the looting and physical destruction of cities.” —Alexander Thein, University College Dublin This powerful book examines the ruthless but widely used tactics of mass killing, mass enslavement, and the destruction of cities in Roman warfare. Gabriel Baker convincingly shows that mass violence was vital to Roman military operations as commanders deliberately used brutal strategies to achieve their military objectives and political goals.

Gabriel Baker holds a PhD in history from the University of Iowa and specializes in Roman and Hellenistic warfare.

An earlier version of his biography and the first paperback printing incorrectly listed his affiliation as Georgetown University, which was the publisher’s error.

The United States and China

A History from the Eighteenth Century to the Present Second Edition

By Dong Wang

“A masterful history. Dong Wang deftly sets the vicissitudes of two and a half centuries of Sino-American interactions in the context of the evolving identities of the two powers as both pursue national greatness and grapple with the challenges and opportunities of a globalizing world.” —Carla P. Freeman, Johns Hopkins University Now fully revised and updated, The United States and China offers a comprehensive synthesis of US-Chinese relations from initial contact to the present. Balancing the modern (1784–1949) and contemporary (1949–present) periods, Dong Wang retraces centuries of interaction between two of the world’s great powers from the perspective of both sides.

She examines state-to-state diplomacy, as well as economic, social, military, religious, and cultural interplay within varying national and international contexts. As China itself continues to grow in global importance, so too does the USChinese relationship, and this book provides an essential grounding for understanding its past, present, and possible futures.

Dong Wang is distinguished professor of history and director of the Wellington Koo Institute at Shanghai University, a Chatham House member, and has been a research associate at the Fairbank Center of Harvard University since 2002.

Library Management Problems Today Case Studies

Edited by Wayne Disher

“In today’s increasingly complex library workplace, it can be hard to know how to handle thorny situations that regularly come up. The realistic library workplace scenarios included in this book are the perfect tool for students to develop their problem-solving skills.” —Sandra Hirsh, associate dean for academics, College of Professional and Global Education, San Jose State University Here’s the first comprehensive case studies in library management book to be published since 1981!

The book use case studies gleaned from TODAY’S library world to help students take analytical approaches to library problems.

Much research points to the fact that students are more inductive than deductive reasoners. Therefore, books like this which provide actual examples to explore and think about are far more useful than many of the existing texts which start with theory and basic principles. Case studies are often used in business, law, and medical schools. This book will facilitate instructors pushing want students to explore how what they have learned applies to real world situations.

The 12 Attributes of Extraordinary Media Professionals

By Roger Cooper

“What are the characteristics that propel some to long-term success while other equally talented people fail? The 12 Attributes is like a checklist for success. Since reading it, I see proof of it repeatedly, in the people I work with and in my own career. I can’t recommend it enough.” —Dan O’Shannon, Emmy-winning television writer/producer In The 12 Attributes of Extraordinary Media Professionals, Roger Cooper shows young professionals that while personal attributes are essential to success, building these soft skills is a dynamic process that can be just as enjoyable as it is rewarding. This book fills a void in the personal and professional development of media professionals by presenting key attributes as a system of qualities that, when applied and considered together, add synergistic benefits for the individual’s career.

Cooper combines examples of successful media professionals with activities to begin readers’ development of twelve attributes that will prove timeless and relevant regardless of an individual’s career stage or the inevitable changes in business practices and technology.

Roger Cooper is an award-winning professor and Director of the OHIO-in-Los Angeles program at Ohio University.

Curating Culture

How Twentieth-Century Magazines Influenced America Edited by Sharon Bloyd-Peshkin and Charles Whitaker

“In this book, leading magazine scholars and historians have contributed chapters about magazines that focused on such topics as folk music, regional lifestyles, politics and current events, farming and rural life, homemaking, gay rights, vegetarianism, and men’s and women’s issues.

These essays created the enduring legacy of 20th century print magazines as places where people found community.”

—David E. Sumner, Professor Emeritus of Journalism, Ball State University, author, The Magazine Century .

This textbook is a curated collection of case studies that collectively shed light on the cultural niches that American consumer magazines of the 20th century covered and created. The chapters examine how cultural niches were cultivated, how they changed over time, and how they influenced broader cultural conversations. This sweeping view of 20th-century American magazines illuminates how this particular media form created, cultivated, and served specific communities, laying the groundwork for contemporary media forms to continue that role today.

Entertaining Ethics

Lessons in Media Ethics from Popular Culture

By Chad Painter and Lee Wilkins

“An exciting read from Star Trek to Madame Secretary.

The beauty of this book is that it addresses overarching themes and topics that are relevant to journalism and mass communication and then views it through the lens of popular culture, supporting the analysis through philosophy.” —Michael T. Martinez, University of Tennessee Chad Painter and Lee Wilkins explore how popular culture explains media ethics and the philosophy that is key to solid ethical thinking. Each chapter focuses on a key ethical concept, anchors the discussion of that concept in a contemporary or classic accessible film, analyzes decisions made in that film with other popular culture artifacts, and grounds the analysis in appropriate philosophical thought.

The book focuses on core philosophical concepts of media ethics—truth telling, loyalty, privacy, public service, media economics, social justice, advocacy, and accountability— as they are examined through the lens of narrative film, television, and music.

Questioning the Media

By Renee Hobbs

“A sorely needed book, and there is no better person to write it in terms of depth in the field.” —Ralph Beliveau, Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Oklahoma The blurring of entertainment, information, and persuasion is reshaping work, life, and citizenship. As a result, our relationship to media has never been so important nor so complex. By asking critical questions about what they watch, listen to, read, and use, students can be better prepared to be responsible communicators who can use a variety of formats and genres for self-expression and advocacy.

Covering a wide range of topics including the rise of news partisanship, algorithmic personalization and social media, stereotypes and media addiction, advertising and media economics, and media influence on personal and social identity, Renee Hobbs helps students develop the lifelong learning competencies and habits of mind needed to navigate an increasingly complex media environment.

Rooted in the best practices of media literacy pedagogy, Media Literacy in Action brings an interdisciplinary approach to media studies that engages students.

Towards a Politics of Responsibility “In his search for a radical rethinking of what constitutes politics, Nathan Bell draws our attention to the failure of politics fuelled by forgetfulness and loss. Drawing on the work of Levinas, Arendt, and others, he fashions an original and compelling case that identifies asylum as fundamental to the meaning of politics. A profound account that forces us to confront our complicity in a world of current injustice.” —Michelle Boulous Walker, associate professor in philosophy, University of Queensland In this urgent work, Bell demonstrates that a radical reconfiguration of the understanding of politics is required in order to safeguard the future and human dignity of stateless persons.

Nathan Bell is lecturer at Monash University, where he teaches in the School of Historical, Philosophical and International Studies (SOPHIS). He has published several articles on the politics of asylum and his research focus is a combination of political theory and continental philosophy.

Sartre on Contingency Antiblack Racism and Embodiment

By Mabogo Percy More “In true existential fashion, More is not trapped in exegesis but places Sartre’s thought, instead, as an ally in conversation with Black existential philosophy from Fanon to Biko to contemporary Africana existential philosophers, wherein the political imperatives of solidarity and struggle are conditions for dignity, freedom, and—as is increasingly clear—breath and life.” —Lewis R.

Contemporary Cases in U.S. Foreign Policy From National Security to Human Security Sixth Edition

By Ralph Carter

This engaging case study approach brings together a diverse set of contributors to help students question motives, consider alternatives, and analyze outcomes in many of the most controversial foreign policy issues now confronting the United States. Many actors―from the president and members of Congress to interest groups, NGOs, and the media―compete to shape U.S. foreign policy. While previous editions of this popular text focused more on national security issues in the wake of 9/11 and the War on Terror, the 13 case studies in this edition deal with a wide range of policy areas: national security, homeland security, diplomacy, trade, immigration, epidemics, climate change, and Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Many reflect how the demarcation between foreign and domestic policy has become even more blurred and polarization has come to plays a significantly increased role in American foreign policy.

Ralph Carter is Piper Professor of Political Science at Texas Christian University where he has been teaching undergraduate IR and foreign policy for more than 30 years.

Divided We Stand The 2020 Elections and American Politics

By Andrew E. Busch and John J. Pitney Jr.

“Divided We Stand is a marvel. I didn’t think it was possible to stand above the fray and write a dispassionate, fair minded treatment of the elections, but Busch and Pitney have done it. They show a remarkable ability to present a comprehensive, shrewd, well written account of these troubled elections without descending into partisan rancor. It should be a staple of any course that deals with contemporary American politics.” —Marc Landy, Boston College Continuing a R&L tradition now in its fourth decade, this book is the most comprehensive and authoritative account of the national 2020 election, including the presidential nomination process and general election, and congressional and state elections. Andrew E. Busch and John J. Pitney Jr. revisit the campaigns and results with the short lens of politics today and the long lens of American political history.

Globalization and American Popular Culture Fifth Edition

By Lane Crothers

“In a deeply textured and solidly researched book, Lane Crothers identifies the connections among American popular culture, the global reach of the U.S. movie industry, and the ability of films and television to transmit images, often conflicting, of the values of American society.

Moreover, there is circularity in the process because the context of American popular culture can shape the content of American popular culture in films and television programs. This is an important book that contributes much to our understanding of the reach of American popular culture and the processes that create it. A must-read! ” — Paula D. McClain, Duke University Now in a fully updated edition, this concise book explores the ways American movies, TV, music, fast food, sports, gaming, and fashion influence globalization. Projecting the future impact of popular culture, from both the United States and elsewhere, Crothers makes a powerful argument for its central role in shaping global politics and economies.

An Introduction to the Causes of War

Patterns of Interstate Conflict from World War I to Iraq Second Edition

By Greg Cashman and Leonard C. Robinson “Cashman and Robinson urge analytical integration and more interaction with case studies—both of which are highly desirable goals for pedagogical and theoretical reasons. Their text should prove highly useful in courses on the causes of war.” —William R. Thompson, emeritus, Indiana University This pioneering book, now thoroughly updated to incorporate important research, explains the causes of war through a sustained combination of theoretical insights and detailed case studies. Cashman and Robinson find that while all wars have multiple causes, certain factors typically combine in identifiable “dangerous patterns.” Through their examination of World War I, World War II in the Pacific, the Six-Day War, the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the Iran-Iraq War, and the US invasion of Iraq, the authors lay out the complex multilevel processes by which disputes between countries erupt into bloody conflicts. Ideal for a range of courses in international relations at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, this focused text clearly explains theory and applies it to concrete case-study examples in a way that allows students to fully understand the origins of war.

Intimate Partner Violence

Clinical Interventions with Partners and Their Children

By Samuel R. Aymer

“Aymer’s brilliant capacity to read the historical, cultural, and racial trends as well as the necessary nuances of the dynamics of domestic violence, sets this book apart. His clinical acuity differentiates his voice. He centers the impact of violence against women, while uniquely recognizing the psychic wounds of those who commit the harm. Aymer’s work will be treasured for years to come.” —Linda G. Mills, Lisa Ellen Goldberg Professor, New York University Intimate Partner Violence: Clinical Interventions with Partners and their Children brings into focus an ecological and clinical frame for addressing the resulting psychological effects of intimate partner violence (IPV). Aymer presents a perspective that is often omitted from social work textbooks which are geared to generalist practice, tending to expose students to macro-systemic ideas (including criminal justice policies and procedures) relative to IPV. However, this book expands clinical social work pedagogy by reinforcing the need for students to go beyond macro issues in order to deliver competent clinically-based interventions that help women, children, and men work through the consequential effects of partner violence. Designed for graduate social work students, it expands the discourse— arguing that IPV is a complex psycho-social-political-relational problem that must be understood from a multi-theoretical perspective.

For anyone serious about understanding what it means and how it works, Eduardo Bonilla-Silva’s classic Racism Without Racists is essential reading.” —Thomas A. Guglielmo, George Washington University Racism Without Racists examines in detail how Whites talk, think, and account for the existence of racial inequality. The main argument of the book is that color-blind racism, a new racial ideology that emerged in the post-Civil Rights era, has emerged as the fountain of frames, stylistic components, and racial stories Whites rely on to articulate their views on racial affairs. Relying on systematically-gathered interview data, Bonilla-Silva not only de constructs the main elements of this ideology, but also explains how the ways most Whites live their lives (the “white habitus”) is central to the reproduction of this ideology, why a specific segment of the White community is more racially progressive, and accounts for how Blacks are effected by the ideology. In this edition, the author has added a very didactic chapter discussing what makes “systemic racism” systemic and another examining how color-blind racism framed many issues during the pandemic.

Eduardo Bonilla-Silva is the James B. Duke Professor of sociology at Duke University.

Retail Racism

Shopping While Black and Brown in America

By Michelle Dunlap

Videos capturing everyday indignities and injury toward Black or Brown consumers have become media staples, showing the complexity, risk, and traumas many shoppers encounter in retail, restaurants, and other marketplaces.

But each one quickly fades in the media spotlight. In Retail Racism, Michelle Dunlap helps readers understand the ongoing experiences of ordinary Black and Brown people as they navigate this reality. Based on 19 in-depth interviews with consumers across the country, Dunlap aims to create a larger discussion that engages readers and empowers them to interrupt, disrupt, and ameliorate the inappropriate and racialized handling of consumers in America today.

In doing so, Retail Racism is about not only shopping, but also humane living in America, including surviving and making sense of inequitable experiences, what to do about them, and the larger issues and contexts that surround the marketplace for Black and Brown people. A portion of the author proceeds from book sales are automatically donated to The Florida Education Fund (FEF), a nonprofit organization established in 1984 to help provide opportunities for educational advancement.

Michelle Dunlap has served on the faculty of the Human Development Department at Connecticut College since 1994.
