Rhetoric and Communication Perspectives on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault
Amy D. Propen; Mary Schuster
Routledge
2019
nidottu
This book brings rhetorical, legal, and professional communication perspectives to the discourse surrounding policy-making efforts within the United States around two types of violent crimes against women: domestic violence and sexual assault. The authors propose that such analysis adds to our understanding of rhetorical concepts such as kairos, risk perception, moral panic, genre analysis, and identity theory. Overall, the goal is to demonstrate how rhetorical, legal, and professional communication perspectives work together to illuminate public discourse and conflict in such complicated and ongoing dilemmas as how to aid victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, and how to manage the offenders of such crimes—social and cultural problems that continue to perplex the legal system and the social environment.

Visualizing Posthuman Conservation in the Age of the Anthropocene
Amy D Propen
Ohio State University Press
2018
sidottu
How do we understand the lives of nonhuman animals and our relationship with and responsibilities to them? What are the artifacts or things that help configure such perceived responsibility? And what does it mean to practice conservation in the Anthropocene? Amy D. Propen seeks to answer these questions in Visualizing Posthuman Conservation in the Age of the Anthropocene, which brings a visual-material rhetorical approach into conversation with material feminisms and environmental humanities to describe how technologies, environments, bodies, and matter work together to shape and reshape how we coexist with our nonhuman kin. Through case studies in which visual technologies and science play a prominent role in arguments to protect threatened marine species-from photographs showing the impact of ocean plastics on vulnerable sea birds, to debates about seismic testing and its impact on marine species, to maps created from GPS tracking projects-Propen advances a notion of posthuman environmental conservation that decenters the human enough to consider ideas about the material world from the vantage point of the nonhuman animal. In so bringing together work in environmental humanities, animal studies, human geography, and visual-material rhetoric, Propen further shows how interdisciplinary ways of knowing can further shape and illuminate our various lived and embodied experiences.
At Home in the Anthropocene brings together a set of wildlife stories focused on the question of what counts as "home" in an age of climate crisis and upheaval. Through stories of mountain lions displaced by wildfires, encounters with black bears in areas of significant human use, wildlife rehabilitation practices, and of the creation of wildlife corridors, Amy D. Propen highlights posthuman interventions into the lives of these at-risk species, with a focus on how such interventions call into question ideas about coexisting with our vulnerable, more-than-human kin. By employing the tenets of posthumanism, compassionate conservation, and entangled empathy-and making them accessible through storytelling and narrative-Propen offers new perspectives about how to more compassionately and productively understand ideas about home, connectivity, and coexistence across a range of places and ecosystems. Uniquely conceptualized to include narrative related to the Anthropause, as well as travel and nature writing amidst COVID-19, At Home in the Anthropocene engages with questions about home and belonging in generative ways that attempt to open up possibilities for sustainable futures in which we may productively coexist with our more-than-human kin.

According to the EPA, Americans generate 1.6 million tons of household hazardous waste (HHW) every year. Although interest in managing old and unwanted consumer products with characteristics of hazardous waste—household cleaners, pesticides, paint products, and automotive products—emerged in the late 1970s, the management of such materials has been a bouncing ball of responsibility for more than two decades. Consumer products are exempt from federal and most state regulations because of their household origin, and many communities still lack the basic information, guidance, and planning support for HHW management. Written by the forefathers and practitioners of HHW management, this book provides solid waste management professionals, municipal officials, chemical waste handlers, environmental students, and others with a comprehensive look at the state of HHW management. Readers will learn answers to questions such as * What is hazardous household waste and why do we collect it? * What are the main concerns? * How are HHW collections held and collected material managed? * What are some best management practices? * How can I motivate behavior change? * How can a product stewardship approach increase collections, cover costs, and promote better products?
Dangerous to Know: Jane Austen's Rakes & Gentlemen Rogues

Each anthology in "The Quill Collective" series is a stand-alone book. "One has all the goodness, and the other all the appearance of it." -Jane AustenJane Austen's masterpieces are littered with unsuitable gentlemen-Willoughby, Wickham, Churchill, Crawford, Tilney, Elliot, et al.-adding color and depth to her plots but often barely sketched. Have you never wondered about the pasts of her rakes, rattles, and gentlemen rogues? Surely, there's more than one side to their stories. In this romance anthology, eleven Austenesque authors expose the histories of Austen's anti-heroes. Dangerous to Know: Jane Austen's Rakes & Gentlemen Rogues is a titillating collection of Georgian era short stories-a backstory or parallel tale off-stage of canon-whilst remaining steadfast to the characters we recognize in Austen's great works.What say you? Everyone may be attracted to a bad boy...even temporarily...but heaven help us if we marry one.Stories by: Karen M Cox * J.

Each anthology in the Quill Collective series is a stand-alone book."Obstinate, headstrong girl " For over two hundred years, the heroine of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, Elizabeth Bennet has enchanted and inspired readers by being that "obstinate, headstrong girl" willing to stand up to the arrogance and snobbery of her so-called betters. Described by Austen as having a "lively, playful disposition," Elizabeth embodies the perfect imperfections of strong-willed women everywhere: she is spirited, witty, clever, and loyal. In this romance anthology, ten Austenesque authors sketch Elizabeth's character through a collection of re-imaginings, set in the Regency through contemporary times. In ELIZABETH: OBSTINATE, HEADSTRONG GIRL, she bares her most intimate thoughts, all the while offering biting social commentary about life's absurdities. Elizabeth overcomes the obstacles of others' opinions, not to mention her own flaws, to find a love truly worthy of her-her Mr. Darcy-all with humor and her sparkling charm. "I think her as delightful a character as ever appeared in print..." wrote Jane Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra, January 1813―and we think so too Foreword by NY Times & USA Today bestselling author Tessa Dare. Stories by: Elizabeth Adams, Christina Boyd, Karen M Cox, J. Marie Croft, Amy D'Orazio, Leigh Dreyer, Jenetta James, Christina Morland, Beau North, and Joana Starnes.
