Prairie Dog Empire: A Saga Of The Shortgrass Prairie, Paul A. Johnsgard Jan 2005

Prairie Dog Empire: A Saga Of The Shortgrass Prairie, Paul A. Johnsgard

University of Nebraska Press: Sample Books and Chapters

For hundreds of years black-tailed prairie dogs inhabited the Great Plains by the millions, improving the grazing for bison and pronghorn antelope, digging escape holes and homes for burrowing owls and rodents, and serving as prey for badgers, coyotes, hawks, and bobcats. This book by the renowned naturalist and writer Paul A. Johnsgard tells the complex biological and environmental story of the western Great Plains under the prairie dog’s reign—and then under a brief but devastating century of human dominion. An indispensable and highly readable introduction to the ecosystem of the shortgrass prairie, Prairie Dog Empire describes in clear and …

Relevant Indigenous Disciple-Making In The Evangelical Church Of West Africa (Ecwa): A Case Study Of The Kaninkon People In Nigeria, Bauta D. Motty

ATS Dissertations

The Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA) today is in dire need of a relevant indigenous disciple-making model, with methods that are culturally-relevant and biblically affirmed, to mature its members. Acknowledging the strong legacy of evangelism from its parent organization, the Sudan Interior Mission [SIM] now known as Serving in Mission. ECWA must go beyond using inherited Western discipleship programs developed at the national level that have proven ineffective among ethnic groups. This dissertation introduces an indigenous "discipling" model-Christian socialization-as an important strategy for maturing members at the local level.

Taking Multinational Corporate Codes Of Conduct To The Next Level, Sean D. Murphy Jan 2005

Taking Multinational Corporate Codes Of Conduct To The Next Level, Sean D. Murphy

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Over the course of the past thirty years, numerous non-state actor codes of conduct have emerged that seek to promote socially-responsible conduct of multinational corporations (MNCs), especially in the developing world. The objective of such codes is to prevent harm or mistreatment of persons or things caused by MNC operations (e.g., the existence of unhealthy worker conditions in an MNC factory). Such harm or mistreatment need not be a core concern for the corporate actor. Indeed, the MNC - in theory driven to maximize its profits although in practice driven by various factors - may benefit far more by inflicting …

Resurrection Research From 1975 To The Present: What Are Critical Scholars Saying?, Gary R. Habermas Jan 2005

Resurrection Research From 1975 To The Present: What Are Critical Scholars Saying?, Gary R. Habermas

SOR Faculty Publications and Presentations

An overview of resurrection research in Europe and North America during the last 30 years indicates some expected as well as some surprising trends. This study highlights six of these major research areas. The works of two representative scholars, J.D. Crossan and N.T. Wright, provide interpretive angles on these subjects. The article concludes with some comments on what is taken to be the single most crucial development at present, that after Jesus' death his followers had experiences that they thought were appearances of the risen Jesus. These early Christian experiences need to be explained viably.

Women-Writing-Women: Three American Responses To The Woman Question, Theresa Defrancis Jan 2005

Women-Writing-Women: Three American Responses To The Woman Question, Theresa Defrancis

Open Access Dissertations

The Woman Question served as a catalyst in Kate Chopin's, Nella Larsen's, and Willa Cather's portrayal of the eroticized female body. The question evolved, in part, from Herbert Spencer's 1873 article "Psychology of the Sexes" and centered around Spencer's "theories" on woman's nature, her function, and her differences--biological, sexological, and sociological--from man. Chapter one historicizes the Woman Question by examining its influence in these three areas. The sciences, however, did not hold a monopoly on the debate. Rather, the question elicited reactions from many arenas--popular newspapers and magazines, literature, political cartoons, public policy--and in different forms--articles, music, caricatures, legislature. Throughout …

Problematic Interactions Between Parents And Their Children With Adhd: Role Of Attributions, Emotions, Discipline Practices, And Comorbid Odd, Danielle Alexandra Ruskin

Open Access Dissertations

Two empirical studies are presented that specifically examine three parenting factors known to contribute to the problematic relationships observed between mothers and their children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Mothers causal attributions for, their emotional reactions to, and their discipline towards their children's misbehaviors. Parenting factors in both studies were elicited using a written scenario methodology. In the first study, mothers' attributions, emotional reactions, and discipline towards their children's inattentive-overactive (IO) and oppositional-defiant (OD) behaviors were compared in 41 mothers of children with ADHD, 44 mothers of children with ADHD and comorbid Conduct Problems (ADHD+CP), and 59 mothers of children without …

Globalization In Art Law: Clash Of Interests And International Tendencies, Erik Jayme Jan 2005

Globalization In Art Law: Clash Of Interests And International Tendencies, Erik Jayme

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In my view, it is important to articulate the different interests involved in international art cases. Globalization has added the interests of the global civil society to the traditional claims and counter claims of private parties and of states or nations. Thus, public access to art works has been fostered by anti-seizure statutes protecting international exhibitions. And, it is this line of tendencies and arguments which conceives of famous art works as treasures of mankind and which should prevail in the future.

Property Taxation Of Multifamily Housing: An Empirical Analysis Of Vertical And Horizontal Equity, Gary C. Cornia, Barrett A. Slade Jan 2005

Property Taxation Of Multifamily Housing: An Empirical Analysis Of Vertical And Horizontal Equity, Gary C. Cornia, Barrett A. Slade

Faculty Publications

This paper analyzes the uniformity of the property appraisal outcome for multifamily apartment complexes in Phoenix, Arizona. Specifically, it investigates vertical and horizontal equity and equity across assessment methods. Apartment transactions and assessed valuations are examined over a fiveyear period (1998–2002). Once possible bias in model specification is accounted for, no evidence of vertical inequity in the sample is found. However, there is modest evidence of horizontal inequity: the results suggest that complex size and geographic location are more difficult for the assessor to value uniformly. There is also inequity between small and large properties, as represented by two different …
