Teaching Through the Ill Body: A Spiritual and Aesthetic Approach to Pedagogy and Illness
Marla Morris, Georgia Southern University
6-30-2008
Book Summary: This book raises questions around pedagogy and illness. Morris explores two large issues that run through the text. What does the ill body teach? What does the teacher do through the ill body? The body has something to teach while teaching through the ill body. This book is theoretically framed by connections between spirituality and aesthetics. As the great spiritual traditions teach, our responsibility as teachers is to help others, especially those who are marginalized. What is lacking in our educational discourse is a discussion of the responsibility we all have to help those who get sick and ... Read more

Lizard Ecology: The Evolutionary Consequences of Foraging Mode
Stephen M. Reilly, Ohio University; Lance D. McBrayer, Georgia Southern University; and Donald B. Miles, Ohio University
7-2007
Book Summary: The foraging mode of lizards has been a central theme in guiding research in lizard biology for three decades. Foraging mode has been shown to be a pervasive evolutionary force molding the diet, ecology, behavior, anatomy, biomechanics, life history, and physiology of lizards. This 2007 volume reviews the knowledge on the effects of foraging mode on these and other organismal systems to show how they have evolved, over a wide taxonomic survey of lizard groups. The reviews presented here reveal the continuous nature of foraging strategies in lizards and snakes, providing the reader with a review of the ... Read more

Eastern Cherokee Fishing
Heidi M. Altman, Georgia Southern University
2006
Cherokee identity as revealed in fishing methods and materials.
In Eastern Cherokee Fishing, life histories, folktales, and reminiscences about fish gathered from interviews with Cherokee and non-Cherokee people provide a clear and personal picture of the changes in the Qualla Boundary (Eastern Band of the) Cherokee in the last 75 years.

Reforming Priests and Parishes: Tuscan Dioceses in the First Century of Seminary Education
Kathleen M. Comerford, Georgia Southern University
10-5-2006
Book Summary: Reforming Priests and Parishes consists of case studies of diocesan seminaries in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Republic of Lucca from 1563-1660s. The major cases are Arezzo, Siena, Volterra and Lucca, and the dioceses and institutions are examined in their financial, educational, and religious milieux. Several other cases--Florence, Montepulciano, Pienza, and Pisa--are treated in less detail to provide contextual interpretative focal points. Most of the seminaries have never been treated in English-language studies before, and no comparative study exists in any language. All of the case studies contain in-depth analysis of rare primary source material.

Free Agency and Competitive Balance in Baseball
Ronald W. Cox, Florida International University and Daniel Skidmore-Hess, Georgia Southern University
2006
As early as the 1880s, baseball owners and sportswriters were decrying the greediness of players as the leading threat to the national pastime. Nearly a century later in 1976, the Player’s Association was able to finally tear down baseball’s permanent reserve clause—the contract language that essentially bound a player to a single team until he was released or traded—and owners and sportswriters again insisted that the competitive balance of the game was threatened by player greed. The rhetoric from the baseball establishment did not match the on-field reality. From 1981 to 1993, the first significant era of free agency in ... Read more
