Sistah MC Droppin’ Rhymes with a Beat: Rap, Rhetoric and Resistance
Elizabeth F. Desnoyers-Colas, Georgia Southern University
2-27-2009
Book Summary: For over three decades rap music has served as the lyrical mouthpiece for another disenfranchised segment of the African American society-- young Black women. Although rap has been largely a male dominated genre, Black women have also used it to ¿drop their rhymes¿ and articulately channel resistance via their own funky beat. This book outlines the challenges African American women have faced in their collective historic quest to establish and sustain their own voice and ultimately reveals that using lyrics as rhetoric has helped African American women establish and maintain such a voice. This work includes a line ... Read more

Convergence Foundations of Topology
Szymon Dolecki, Burgundy University and Frédéric D. Mynard, Georgia Southern University
1-1-2009
Book Summary: The textbook is an alternative to a classical introductory book in point-set topology. The approach, however, is radically different from the classical one. It is based on convergence rather than on open and closed sets. On the one hand, convergence of filters is a natural generalization of the basic and well-known concept of convergence of sequences, so that convergence theory is more natural and intuitive to many, perhaps most, students than classical topology. On the other hand, the framework of convergence is easier, more powerful and far-reaching which highlights a need for a theory of convergence in various ... Read more

Design and Analysis of Clinical Trials with Time to Event Endpoints
Karl E. Peace, Georgia Southern University
4-23-2009
Book Summary: Using time-to-event analysis methodology requires careful definition of the event, censored observation, provision of adequate follow-up, number of events, and independence or "noninformativeness" of the censoring mechanisms relative to the event. Design and Analysis of Clinical Trials with Time-to-Event Endpoints provides a thorough presentation of the design, monitoring, analysis, and interpretation of clinical trials in which time-to-event is of critical interest.
After reviewing time-to-event endpoint methodology, clinical trial issues, and the design and monitoring of clinical trials, the book focuses on inferential analysis methods, including parametric, semiparametric, categorical, and Bayesian methods; an alternative to the Cox model for ... Read more

The Civic Gospel: A Political Cartography of Christianity
William M. Reynolds, Georgia Southern University and Julie Webber, Illinois State University
2009
Georgia Southern faculty member William M. Reynolds co-authored The Civic Gospel: A Political Cartography of Christianity.
Part of Transgressions: Cultural Studies and Education Series, Volume: 29
This book is a result of the times in which we are living. These times demand a response. When the authors began to write this book, it was not popular to dissent against the Bush administration. In fact, dissent was and still is equated with terrorism. Now, it might seem that the tide is turning and maybe after the 2008 election some of this nightmare we have been experiencing will change. At least that ... Read more

Dreams, Myth, and Reality: Utah and the American West
William T. Allison, Georgia Southern University and Susan J. Matt, Weber State University
6-27-2008
Book Summary: During the settlement of the West, through the Civil War and Gold Rush periods, the average Anglo household consisted of two or three bachelor farmers or miners. The nuclear Ingalls family from Little House of the Prairie was less typical than Bonanza’s Cartwright family with three boys, a father, and a male cook.
There were exceptions. The Willamette Valley in Oregon was settled by traditional families who carved out a middle-class existence on small farms. In Utah Territory, less fertile soil and more fertile polygamous fathers produced families who struggled against poverty and isolation.
The first Americans out ... Read more

Victorians and the Virgin Mary: Religion and Gender in England, 1830‐85
Carol M. Herringer, Georgia Southern University
2008
This interdisciplinary study of competing representations of the Virgin Mary examines how anxieties about religious and gender identities intersected to create public controversies that, whilst ostensibly about theology and liturgy, were also attempts to define the role and nature of women. Drawing on a variety of sources, this book seeks to revise our understanding of the Victorian religious landscape, both retrieving Catholics from the cultural margins to which they are usually relegated, and calling for a reassessment of the Protestant attitude to the feminine ideal.
This book will be useful to advanced students and scholars in a variety of disciplines ... Read more
