Tells the story of the decline and near bankruptcy of a major American university, and how its dramatic turnaround was quickly achieved.

When the Pot Boils examines the decline and near bankruptcy of Drexel University in the late 1980s and early 1990s and its subsequent dramatic turnaround. David A. Paul provides an in-depth analysis of the multiple factors that contributed to this process, including the role of the market, the academic culture, corporate governance, and key leaders of the institution. Drexel's story of decline through years of student protests, faculty conflicts, a destructive labor strike, and two failed presidencies is a parable of failed corporate governance and a warning of the challenges to colleges and universities in the increasingly competitive world of higher education. Paul argues that for schools facing financial difficulties, retrenchment strategies must be set aside in favor of the more difficult task of developing organizational missions and programs that matter in the marketplace.
"David Paul combines a wealth of detail with compelling narrative force to hold the reader's attention while the important lessons of Drexel's decline and turnaround are set forth." -- William F. Massy, coauthor of Remaking the American University: Market-Smart and Mission-Centered

Alice S. Honig - Infancy in America, An Encycloped ia, Two-Volume set, Vol.2 (2001).jpg

Only recently (in approximately the last 300 years) has infancy been recognized as an important stage in human development. This two-volume set on infancy features articles written by academics specializing in child psychology and human development. The alphabetically arranged entries, which range in length from a few sentences to several pages, cover concepts such as adaptation, developmental delay, and scaffolding and also include biographies of major contributors to the field such as Arnold Gesell and Jean Piaget. Longer articles address topics such as adolescent parenting, child abuse and neglect, play, and prenatal development. The approach is multidisciplinary, integrating clinical and policy issues and noting the diverse medical, psychological, and psychoanalytical influences that are part of child development studies. Ample cross references help users locate material, and the longer articles have supplemental reading lists.

Carl L. Kell - In the Name of the Father, The Rhet oric of the New Southern Baptist Convention (1999).jpg

Drawing on sermons delivered at national Southern Baptist conventions from 1979 onwards, the authors of this book outline the discourses of fundamentalism, inerrancy, and exclusion. They assert that these discourses call for a return to times before liberalism and sexual tolerance.

Vynola Beaver Newkumet - Hasinai, A Traditional Hi story of the Caddo Confederacy (1998).jpg

You will find yourself returning to favorite passages in this book to re experience them. This book is a traditional history but it isn't mainstream American traditional history. It is explained from a distinctly Native American point of view. Hasinai provides narratives of Caddo Tribal business council and cultural leaders. It also provides information about Caddo tribal words and language. This is a living history book. There are very well taken photographs in this book. Some must be extremely treasured by their owners.

Christi E. Parker - Civil War Is Coming, Expanding & Preserving the Union (2008).jpg

During the 1800s, the United States was in conflict over slavery. Though compromises were made, neither side was pleased. Abolitionists and pro-slavery people engaged in conflicts and often deadly clashes. With South Carolina and other southern states seceding, war was inevitable.

Char Miller - Water in the West, A High Country Ne ws Reader (2000).jpg

"Water in the West" offers a lively primer on the region's most precious and scarce resource. This volume collects the best reporting on the subject, drawn from the pages of "High Country News," the newspaper that has set the standard for coverage of environmental issues in the West. Beginning with an exhilarating account of the 1983 Colorado River floods that almost destroyed Glen Canyon Dam through recent articles tracking the water quests of Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, and Tuscon, the book provides compelling perspectives on the issues and controversies that have roiled water politics in the West over the past two decades. The tensions between the need for water in this vast, arid region and society's demands that rivers and their fish and wildlife be restored to health are explored in chapters on the Northwest salmon crisis, Glen Canyon Dam, federal and urban water projects, Native American water rights, water quality, wilderness water rights, watershed restoration, and water management.

Gary Clayton Anderson - The Conquest Of Texas, Eth nic Cleansing In The Promised Land, 1820-1875 (200 5).jpg

This is not your grandfather's history of Texas. Portraying nineteenth-century Texas as a cauldron of racist violence, Gary Clayton Anderson shows that the ethnic warfare dominating the Texas frontier can best be described as ethnic cleansing. The Conquest of Texas is the story of the struggle between Anglos and Indians for land. Anderson tells how Scotch-Irish settlers clashed with farming tribes and then challenged the Comanches and Kiowas for their hunting grounds. Next, the decade-long conflict with Mexico merged with war against Indians. For fifty years Texas remained in a virtual state of war. By confronting head-on the romanticized version of Texas history that made heroes out of Houston, Lamar, and Baylor, Anderson helps us understand that the history of the Lone Star state is darker and more complex than the mythmakers allowed.

Raymond Plant - The Neo-Liberal State (2009).jpg

The aim of the book is two-fold. First of all it is to provide a fair, complete and analytical account of the Neo-liberal conception of the role and function of the state in modern society. The second aim is to provide a critical assessment of some of the central elements of this conception. The book will look at the emphasis of Neo-liberals on procedural and rule governed approaches to the role of the state rather than outcome or end state views of the role of government and to consider how this conception of politics relates to issues such as the rule of law, freedom, justice, rights, the relationship to the market economy, to civil society and to look at the role of government in relation to the provision of welfare and public sector services more generally. It builds up the Neo-liberal case in respect of these aspects of modern society by drawing upon the works of central Neo-liberal thinkers such as Hayek, Mises, Menger, as well as thinkers such as Oakeshott, Nozick and Rotbard who are not directly Neo-liberals but whose works have been important for the development of central Neo-liberal themes.

Yukinori Komine - Secrecy in US Foreign Policy (20 08).jpg

This title examines the pursuit of strict secrecy by President Nixon and his National Security Advisor Kissinger in foreign policy decision-making as a principle characteristic of the US rapprochement with China. Moreover it sheds new light on the complexity and dynamism of the evolution of new China initiatives and demonstrates the existence of many policy options and different perspectives among US officials.It focuses on three major elements of the US rapprochement with China: conception - the presidential leadership, the revitalization of the National Security system and secrecy in bureaucratic rivalry; implementation - the evolution of policy option studies and the private signal exchange; and, direct talks - the major security issues during the behind the scene talks in Kissinger's trips to Beijing and Nixon's trip to China.Original and compelling, this book looks at the similarities and differences between Nixon's and Kissinger's views on China and the rivalry between them and the State Department regarding the timing and issues of US negotiations with China. Newly declassified materials help to identify key questions and highlight the dynamics of events to make this study suited to courses on foreign policy analysis, Cold War history and East Asian studies.

Wallace W. Zane - Journeys to the Spiritual Lands, The Natural History of a West Indian Religion (19 99).jpg

Although much has been written on the Afro-Catholic syncretic religions of Vodou, Candomble, and Santeria, the Spiritual Baptists--an Afro-Caribbean religion based on Protestant Christianity--have received little attention. This work offers the first detailed examination of the Spiritual Baptists or "Converted". Based on 18 months of fieldwork on the Island of St. Vincent (where the religion arose) and among Vincentian immigrants in Brooklyn, Zane's analysis makes a contribution to the literature on African-American and African Diaspora religion and the anthropology of religion more generally.

Allen Forte - Listening to Classic American Popula r Songs (2001).jpg

In the twenties, thirties, and forties, now-legendary American songwriters and lyricists created a repertoire of popular songs, songs that have captured the hearts of generations of music lovers. George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael and many others, along with such lyricists as Ira Gershwin, Lorenz Hart, and Dorothy Fields, produced extraordinary songs of signal importance to the American musical heritage. In this book Allen Forte shares his love of American popular song. He discusses in detail twenty-three songs, ranging from Gershwin's "Fascinating Rhythm" (1924) to Irving Berlin's "Steppin' Out with My Baby" (1947), guiding readers and listeners toward a deeper appreciation of this vital and engaging music.

Alberto Alesina and Edward Glaeser - Fighting Pove rty in the US and Europe, A World of Difference (2 004).jpg

This probing of the forces behind 'American exceptionalism', as measured by a much smaller welfare state than in Europe, is immensely important. The authors take a multi-discipline approach and consider many factors, including narrowly economic variables, political institutions, racial and ethnic diversity, the effects of wars, attitudes toward the poor, and still others. Their findings are sometimes surprising and frequently provocative. This monograph will quickly become the foundation of further literature on a subject of enormous significance.
