Mortal Stakes

Mortal Stakes

Jan E. Dizard

University of Massachusetts Press
2003
nidottu
Each Autumn, millions of men and increasing numbers of women don camouflage or blaze orange outfits and go afield in the pursuit of game. For much of American history, there was no need to explain why they did this. Hunting was simply another aspect of the annual cycle of planting, breeding and harvesting. But modern hunting began separating from its agrarian roots well over a century ago, and although it has retained its connection to the metaphor of the harvest, the self-perceptions and motives of hunters today are no longer transparent, especially to non-hunters. Indeed, hunting - and those who hunt - have become targets of a vocal and growing array of critics. In this examination of the place of hunting in contemporary America, the author draws on detailed interviews with hunters as well as opinion surveys and demographic statistics to analyze the meanings that these men and women attach to hunting. He looks at who hunts, how they compare socially and politically with non-hunters, and how they see themselves and are seen by others. As the gulf widens between hunters and nonhunters worldwide, some hunters have begun to think of themselves as a minority group which, like other minorities, suffers from prejudice and stereotyping. As a result, Dizard argues, hunting is fast becoming one more front in an expanding ""culture war"" over what it means to be an American.

Identities in Everyday Life

Identities in Everyday Life

Jan E. Stets; Richard T. Serpe

Oxford University Press Inc
2019
sidottu
Identities in Everyday Life explores how identity theory in social psychology can help us understand a wide array of issues across six areas of life including psychological well-being; authenticity; morality; gender, race, and sexuality; group membership; and early-to-later adult identities. Bringing together over 45 scholars presenting original theoretical or empirical work, the chapters build upon prior work to understand the source, development, and dynamics of individuals' identities as they unfold within and across situations. These studies not only advance scholarly research on identities, but they also provide an understanding of the relevance of identities for people's everyday lives. The findings are relevant to a broad-based set of researchers in the academy across disciplines in the social sciences, education, and health, to students at both the graduate and undergraduate level who are interested in identities at both a personal and professional level, to mental health professionals, and to the average person in society.

Forensic Neuropathology

Forensic Neuropathology

Jan E. Leestma

CRC Press
2021
nidottu
The field of forensic neuropathology covers such controversial topics as the effects of repeated brain trauma in football players and how babies probably cannot die from being shaken. Jan Leestma is one of the most respected voices in this area. A timely update to his classic reference, Forensic Neuropathology: Third Edition presents an encyclopedic exposition of neuropathological conditions that may have forensic import.Reflecting the latest research, this edition includes expanded sections on multiple trauma, one punch/one hit arterial injuries, and the physiology of respiratory control. It presents new perspectives and rules regarding expert testimony and evidence admissibility occasioned by Daubert and related Supreme Court cases. The book explores how these rulings affect forensic pathologists, neuropathologists, and other potential experts as well as how they interact with the legal system. Several chapters examine the mechanisms and pathophysiology of neuropathological conditions and discuss the biomechanical basis for neurological injury. Where possible, aging and dating methodology is included for various processes. More than 325 updated full-color illustrations complement the text along with diagrams, tables, and figures that illustrate the textual material and can be useful as exhibits in court. An extensive bibliography provides background information and facilitates further research.

Domestic Violence and Control

Domestic Violence and Control

Jan E. Stets

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
1988
nidottu
Domestic Violence and Control provides important longitudinal data on violent relationships and addresses the problem of violence from the perspective of both the perpetrator and the victim. The issue of control emerges as a central theme. Control plays a keyrole, firstly, in organizing the victim's thoughts with regard to the batterer, and, secondly, in cases of repeated acts of violence over a length of time. The study shows acts of violence to be both "impulsive" and "instrumental" and thereby refutes competing explanations in the literature that violence is either "impulsive" or "instrumental."

Trick Training Your Horse To Success

Trick Training Your Horse To Success

Jan E. Sharp

Wild Rag Press
2020
nidottu
New Edition. A step-by-step guide, by world champion trainer Jan Sharp, to teaching your horse to perform tricks, including objectives, benefits, and the typical problems and their solutions. Training a trick horse is not that much different that teaching him to perform a showmanship pattern or to negotiate a trail course. You are simply taking the training a step further by asking the horse to be a little more of everything - a little more focused, a little more obedient, more trusting, more responsive, and so on. And, in return, you are increasing your horse's trainability and predictability (not to mention marketability) in a unique and fun way - for both you and your horse The trust and cooperation developed though trick training will last a lifetime. The training produces a more responsive, willing, confident, and happy performer, which in turn will help give your horse an edge in the show ring, as well as being a safer trail and family companion. Detailed ground work is included that will help solve some of the most common equine bad behaviors and better prepare your horse for learning, especially for the young, unhandled, or spoiled horse. Detailed photos and easy to follow instructions walk you through each step of the training. In addition to the pride and sense of accomplishment gained by trick-training your horse, it is impossible not to develop a deeper bond after the close contact and extra training time you will spend with him. You will enjoy him more, take greater pride in him, and perhaps provide that extra care to make him as happy and healthy in his body, mind, and soul as he can be. Your horse will be such a joy to work with that your veterinarian and farrier will thank you Be inspired to think outside the box, and use the techniques in training trick horses to achieve the results you desire in your horse. Who doesn't want a horse that is more responsive and more attuned to your voice, body language, and aids, no matter what your horse's breed, discipline, or career might be? The tricks covered are: Bow, Rear, Lie Down, Circus Bow, Buck Jump, Give You A Hug, Cross Legs, Spanish Walk, Push Objects, Honk A Horn, Horse Laugh, Yes And No, Pick Up Objects, Stand On A Pedestal, Sit Down From A Stand, and Sit Up From Lying Down.Case studies feature real life problem horses and how trick training turned them into superstars - in the show ring, on the trail, and especially in their owner's heart. Each horse pictured is not only a high-schooled public exhibition trick horse, but also a champion in the show ring. Jan's trick horses have earned multiple world championships in all disciplines, been featured in magazines, and television commercials. Her Supreme Champion stallion, TS Black Tie Affair, was honored by the Breyer Company with a model in his likeness.

Strength in Numbers?

Strength in Numbers?

Jan E. Leighley

Princeton University Press
2001
pokkari
America's increasing racial and ethnic diversity is viewed by some as an opportunity to challenge and so reinforce the country's social fabric; by others, as a portent of alarming disunity. While everyone agrees that this diversity is markedly influencing political dynamics not only nationally but often on the state and local levels, we know little about how racial and ethnic groups organize and participate in politics or how political elites try to mobilize them. This book tells us. By integrating class-based factors with racial and ethnic factors, Jan Leighley shows what motivates African-Americans, Latinos, and Anglos to mobilize and participate in politics. Drawing on national survey data and on interviews with party and elected officials in Texas, she develops a nuanced understanding of how class, race, and ethnicity act as individual and contextual influences on elite mobilization and mass participation. Leighley examines whether the diverse theoretical approaches generally used to explain individual participation in politics are supported for the groups under consideration. She concludes that the political and social context influences racial and ethnic minorities' decisions to participate, but that different features of those environments are important for different groups. Race and ethnicity structure participation more than previous research suggests. Casting new light on an issue at the crux of contemporary American politics, Strength in Numbers? will be welcomed by scholars and students of political science, African-American and Latino studies, urban politics, and social movements.

Who Votes Now?

Who Votes Now?

Jan E. Leighley; Jonathan Nagler

Princeton University Press
2013
pokkari
Who Votes Now? compares the demographic characteristics and political views of voters and nonvoters in American presidential elections since 1972 and examines how electoral reforms and the choices offered by candidates influence voter turnout. Drawing on a wealth of data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey and the American National Election Studies, Jan Leighley and Jonathan Nagler demonstrate that the rich have consistently voted more than the poor for the past four decades, and that voters are substantially more conservative in their economic views than nonvoters. They find that women are now more likely to vote than men, that the gap in voting rates between blacks and whites has largely disappeared, and that older Americans continue to vote more than younger Americans. Leighley and Nagler also show how electoral reforms such as Election Day voter registration and absentee voting have boosted voter turnout, and how turnout would also rise if parties offered more distinct choices. Providing the most systematic analysis available of modern voter turnout, Who Votes Now? reveals that persistent class bias in turnout has enduring political consequences, and that it really does matter who votes and who doesn't.

Unamuno and Kierkegaard

Unamuno and Kierkegaard

Jan E. Evans

Lexington Books
2005
sidottu
Miguel de Unamuno was profoundly influenced by Søren Kierkegaard's pseudonymous works at a time when Kierkegaard was virtually unknown in Southern Europe. This book explores the scope and character of that influence, clarifies misconceptions in the relationship between the authors, and offers an original, Kierkegaardian reading of three of Unamuno's best known novels: Niebla, San Manuel Bueno, mártir, and Abel Sánchez. Both authors hold a "self as achievement" view in which the authentic self is seen as the result of the choices one makes over a lifetime. For Kierkegaard, the spheres of existence-the esthetic, the ethical, and the religious-are "stages on life's way" to becoming an authentic self before God. Unamuno, however, holds that the same spheres of existence offer equally valid modes of authentic existence as long as one chooses them freely and passionately. This book will be of great interest to scholars of existentialism, Unamuno, and Kierkegaard.

The late eighteen hundreds was a time of growth and expansion in the this great country. The land was open and wild. Often the land was waiting for the strong to take it and make something of it. It took courage to keep it once it was settled. Laws were often few and far between. the law was often what man made of it. It was also a time when the land grew. Towns sprouted up all over the country and stagecoaches tied them together with ribbons of narrow, often dangerous, roads. Often men hunted men for the bounty o their heads, while some hunted others so justice could be be met. THE OLD WEST is a collection of short stories that show what it took to build in the west. The stories show how men fought to survive, fought to bring law and order to a lawless land, and the perils that faced those who simply traveled across the land. The stories are fictional, yet they could have happen to any of the many souls that will never be known who reached out to the west for a better life. THE OLD WEST is on of five books of short stores by J.E. Terrall

Men became bounty hunters for a number of reasons. For some it the money, some to show the world, at least their part of the world, how tough they were, and still others it was to help bring justice to the Fronter where laws and court were few and far between. Most bounty hunters were good trackers and hunters, and often loners. Bounty hunters often did not live long. If they built a reputation as a gunfrighter, or by being good at their job of bringing the lawless to justice, they often became a target for someone who wanted to make a reputation for himself by killing the bounty hunter, or to prevent the bounty hunter from doing his job. Jake Murdock, Bounty Hunter is the story of a young man who didn't start out to be a bounty hunter, but seeking revenge for the ruthless killing of his parents turned him into someone who would seek those who broke the law in order to bring them to justice.
