This book is a great introduction to both the R program for item response theory (IRT) analysis and IRT modeling itself for readers who want a firm grasp on both skills. This book is a helpful manual for understanding IRT concepts and background concisely and for easily learning the freely accessible R programs for doing IRT analyses. Reading this book is like catching two birds with one stone. This book is clearly written and amazingly easy to follow from installing the R program and executing the R command to interpreting the executed results. This book also provides practical advice, guidance, and specific details on utilizing the R program for practitioners, researchers, and graduate students in an introductory or an intermediate IRT course. The authors explain the essential background of various IRT models and the logic of each model in terms of practical applications. A major strength of the book is its consistent use of detailed examples to illustrate the concepts, the practical applications of IRT, and the thorough explanation of results for the executed examples. Another strong point is the general approachability and clarity of the text. Both practical users of IRT and beginners of the R program will benefit from this clear text and detailed examples. As a practitioner who frequently uses IRT but has little experience with R for IRT analysis, I strongly recommend this book as a learning tool for both IRT and R IRT programs.

A Century of Foreign Investment in the Third World

'An engaging, entertaining chronicle of once-urgent fears that now seem silly.　 Pop Culture Panics shows how and why anxieties about changes in society turn into worries about media corrupting the young.　　 It should empower readers to think more critically about all sorts of claims they will inevitably encounter in the years ahead.'-Joel Best, Sociology, University of Delaware, and co-author of Kids Gone Wild

'Karen Sternheimer engaging compilation of anxiety over and action against new forms of pleasure and entertainment in the 20th century offers students and teachers an extraordinary opportunity to explore social change in modern America. She combines vivid description, acute historical analysis, and accessible social theory to explain when and why moral panics emerge and ebb. An excellent introduction to a critical theme of modern American life.'
-Gary Cross, History, Penn State

'A smart, penetrating look at how moral panics and moral entrepreneurs divert anxieties about class, social change, and rebellious youth onto attacks against popular culture. Perfect for the sociology or media studies classroom as well as the general reader.'
-Marjorie Heins, director, Free Expression Policy Project; author of Not in Front of the Children: "Indecency," Censorship, and the Innocence of Youth
'This book is a real pleasure. The author offers sharp analyses of four moral crusades against popular culture in the US—movies, pinball, comic books, and music—to provide deeper understandings of the underlying fears and forces animating them... This text should appeal to a wide readership. Summing up: Highly Recommended'
- C. R. King, Washington State University, Choice Reviews
'If you teach an undergraduate course on deviance, go ahead and pick up a copy of Karen Sternheimer’s new book, Pop Culture Panics. It is a fantastic resource for students new to sociology and criminology who are grappling with the concept of deviance for the first time... Pop Culture Panics could easily be the only text you or I need to teach an entire Sociology of Deviance course. It is concise, informative, entertaining and overall, quite good. I encourage you to pick up a copy and see for yourself.'

The Boy Who Fooled the World

&ldquo;This compelling and inspirational anthology raises a chorus of voices in defense of the earth. Hope Beneath Our Feet addresses the environmental problems plaguing our planet and the myriad forms of action each of us can take.&rdquo;&mdash;Leonardo DiCaprio, actor and activist&ldquo;Wonderfully uplifting and inspiringly diverse perspectives on aligning ourselves with the fullness of our own possibilities as individuals and as a species. The bottom line: flavor and savor every moment, especially the toughest ones, with not-knowing, with good will, imagination, kindness, wisdom, humor, community, and action. My father-in-law, Howard Zinn, said it so well: &ldquo;Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.&rsquo;&rdquo; &mdash;Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Full Catastrophe Living and Coming to Our Senses&ldquo;Hope Beneath Our Feet is just that. With penetrating clarity it takes us into the depths of our essential nature: our courage, brilliance, and resilience. We are called to take advantage of the greatest opportunity for conscious self-evolution the human species has ever been given. A real masterwork.&rdquo;&mdash;Barbara Marx Hubbard, author of Conscious Evolution: Awakening the Power of Our Social Potential and founder of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution&ldquo;This is a wonderful, inspirational book composed of works by thoughtful, intelligent, and caring people discussing the fact that we and our fellow species face extinction if we proceed with life as we have in the last two hundred years. As I continue to struggle with the monumental challenges facing the human psyche, the hope and new ideas embedded in these essays have lifted my flagging spirits. Essential reading.&rdquo; &mdash;Helen Caldicott, author of Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer to Global Warming and If You Love This Planet&ldquo;Hope Beneath Our Feet: Restoring Our Place in the Natural World offers a powerful set of essays...their diverse answers and thoughts   offer important insights key to understanding personal responsibility   and replacing despair with hope and action.&rdquo; &mdash;Midwest Book Review "More than a book to simply read and ponder, Hope Beneath Our Feet offers thought-provoking suggestions for implementing real change." &mdash;San Francisco Book Review "The real value of Hope Beneath Our Feet is that it provides   not only places to start, but reasons to keep going once you've   started...if you're a Cowbell reader who's never picked up a   green-themed book in your life and you're wondering where to start, then   Hope can act as a crash-course in the ideas behind sustainable   activism."  &mdash;Jess Harvell, Editor-in-Chief, Cowbell Magazine  "Keogh has managed to wrangle a lot of intellectual    heavy-hitters&mdash;environmentalists Bill McKibben and Vandana Shiva, the    late historian Howard Zinn, journalist Michael Pollan&mdash;and Hope offers an  excellent overview of the contemporary environmental movement." &mdash;Grid Magazine&ldquo;There is no more meaningful action we can take than to struggle on behalf of life on this planet. The profoundly hopeful and inspiring essays in this anthology help us remember our place in the web of life and recover a deep awareness of our own ecological identity, motivating us to continue our efforts.&rdquo;&mdash;John Seed, founder of the Rainforest Information Centre in New South Wales, Australia and co-author of Thinking Like a Mountain: Towards a Council of All Beings&ldquo;This fierce collection is a pragmatic and poetic call to action for the environmental predicament that we've authored.  Its message is compelling and, if acted upon, contains powerful medicine to heal ourselves and the planet.&rdquo;&mdash;Richard Strozzi-Heckler, author of The Leadership Dojo&ldquo;A major antidote for despair is engagement and participation: that is the key message of this collection of leading thinkers and doers hard at work on the dire problem of worldwide ecological decline. What creative responses to the crisis of our time await beyond weary save-the-world technologism, activism, and heroism? What can you do, today, to help? Find out here.&rdquo; &mdash;Craig Chalquist, co-editor of Ecotherapy: Healing with Nature in Mind and core faculty member at John F. Kennedy University&ldquo;Hope Beneath Our Feet is the tonic needed right now in the world to inspire the many of us who care about preserving our earth but wonder if humankind can actually get it together. The chorus of voices in this book gives us much hope that we can. Read this book and learn why, and then help bring it into being by taking action beneath your feet.&rdquo;&mdash;David Gershon, Author of Social Change 2.0: A Blueprint for Reinventing Our World and Low Carbon Diet: A 30 Day Program to Lose 5,000 Pounds &ldquo;We are learning to see and hear a new kind of beauty.  That beauty is in the clear and urgent prose of this book.&rdquo;&mdash;Coleman Barks, author of The Essential Rumi and The Book of Love &ldquo;This book presents a rich lode of psychological resilience for those who suffer from a depletion of ecological optimism. The authors of this uplifting compendium embody the hope and wisdom that flows from rootedness.&rdquo; &mdash;Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow, Post Carbon Institute&ldquo;Practical inspiration intertwined with authentic hope, written by people living inspiring and authentically hopeful lives and transforming the world. Read it and join the transformation.&rdquo;  &mdash;David W. Orr, author of Down to the Wire and Hope is an Imperative: The Essential David Orr&ldquo;Luscious, grounding, and disturbing, this book offers potent medicine for all those working for change, and a swift kick in the ass for those who ain&rsquo;t. A bracing, polyphonic bundle of necessary voices.&rdquo;&mdash;David Abram, author of Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology&ldquo;The greatest opportunity of our time is to reverse climate change and restore the sustainability of planet earth. This book offers a timely, relevant, and compelling invitation to action; is an extraordinary anthology that contains diverse and practical ways in which we can individually and collectively change the world in positive and tangible ways for the generations of the future.&rdquo;&mdash;Angeles Arrien, PhD, author of The Four-Fold Way and The Second Half of Life &ldquo;Such a marvelous collection of essays! This is truth telling that chills and inspires, cajoles and provokes. Let us hope these essays transform us on every level of our being for the sake of future generations.&rdquo;&mdash;Mary Evelyn Tucker, Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale University&ldquo;My kind of anthology! The volume bravely captures the seriousness as well as optimism of this blessed moment.  Authors propose pathways and designs that create better life and livability for humans as well as more than humans. The message in this volume that &lsquo;ecological regeneration is the art of the possible&rsquo; needs to be shared and cherished by scholars as well as practitioners.&rdquo;&mdash;Pramod Parajuli, Ph.D., Graduate Faculty and Director, Prescott College&ldquo;This book is a timely contribution on the subject of where we find hope and meaning in a time of radical uncertainty. This is a vital piece for anyone wishing to engage in making a difference to our world. How tempting it is right now to make things definite&mdash;whether it be hope for a happy ending or despair that all is lost. Tolerating uncertainty, while engaging with suffering of both human and nonhuman worlds is, perhaps, the greatest spiritual challenge of our time. Read on for how this collection of diverse authors inspire us with their different ways of seeing and living this challenge.&rdquo;&mdash;Mary-Jayne Rust, eco-psychologist and Jungian analyst "Whether your New Year&rsquo;s resolution was to start your own garden this   spring or begin biking to work as soon as the snow melts, my mission to   you, should you chose to accept it (and you should) is to get your  hands  on a copy of this book.  Share it with friends and family.   Whether you  read it cover to cover in one sitting or leave it in the  bathroom and  read one essay at a time, keep this anthology in sight so  that it  reminds you that you do have a voice, a vote, and a power to  make change  and inspire others to do the same." &mdash;ImpactDash "We can&rsquo;t think of a more practical and green book to read at the beginning of a fresh decade: Hope Beneath our Feet illuminates small and big steps you can take to be part of the solution   &ndash; from flicking off your lights to making a major investment in   alternative energy to more radical, out-of-the-box ideas." &mdash;Practically Green"Hope Beneath Our Feet provides much needed personal, spiritual and  political inspiration as we grapple with how to live as loving and  hopeful human beings in a world in grave danger."&mdash;Francesca Rheannon, Writer's Voice radio"In reading Martin Keogh&rsquo;s Hope Beneath Our Feet though, I realized that the importance of &ldquo;going green.&rdquo; It celebrated the different ways we can all come together and work hard  to set goals (and follow through on them!), instead of just waiting  around for the next Earth Day to do something about it."&mdash;Awakeningwomen.com"This book is an excellent collection of&#160;authors who are raising issues,  asking questions and posing solutions on both a large and small-scale."&mdash;Food.Health.Love."Amazing, thought-provoking...a recognition of all the good things people are doing around the world, it is a call for action."&mdash;Discover Deep Peace"Mr. Keogh has compiled a generous supply of wisdom from  thought leaders  and influencers in the environmental and ecological  movement to help  us with this 'mind-boggling' and heart-breaking time.  This is not a  book to supply new figures on our pending ecological  demise, but a  gathering of souls who are taking stock, breathing deep  and rolling up  their sleeves."&mdash;iamtheerica

"There comes along from time to time a book that is meant to revolutionize the way we think about society and its institutions. The book, The Afrocentric Praxis of Teaching for Freedom: Connecting Culture to Learning, by two veteran educators Joyce E. King and Ellen E. Swartz, is just such a remarkable intervention in our thinking about teaching....Not only do I recommend this book for use by current teachers, but I also insist that it should be required reading and study in all schools of education across the nation. What an honor to have read this singularly important work and to be able to urge its adoption. - Molefi Kete Asantein Journal of Black Studies, January 2016
"The lead authors, King (urban teaching and educational policy, Georgia State Univ.) and Swartz (education consultant), present as strong a case as readers are likely to find for recapturing what has been all but lost through the entrenched maginalization of minorities in the K-12 curriculum, while illustrating the truth behind the adage that history is written by the victors. Best of all, however, is their incorporation of specific examples of how the curriculum can be modified—while still meeting those ubiquitous learning standards—not be proselytizing, but by promoting critical thinking among students and their teachers...Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate, research, and professional collections." - H. M. Miller, Mercy College, in CHOICE, January 2015
“…an important book with a range of implications and possibilities for public school practitioners and teacher educators, ‘Re-Membering’ History provides compelling examples of educators’ moving theory, ideas, and ideals into action. It showcases firsthand how teachers are able to utilize history to inform learning inside of classrooms. The practitioner examples demonstrate how teachers can be transformed and transformative in the fight to expose students to real history. The book not only ‘talks the talk,’ it shows practitioners how to walk the talk.”―H. Richard Milner IV, Helen Faison Endowed Chair in Urban Education, University of Pittsburgh, USA 
“This book presents a bold invitation for rethinking the purpose and representation of the grand narrative in teaching the history of the United States in elementary schools. Serious scholars will find refreshing originality in the use of Afrocentric theory, principles of culturally informed curricular practice, and practitioner research to produce ‘democratized’ student texts.”―Etta R. Hollins, Kauffman Endowed Chair for Urban Teacher Education, University of Missouri-Kansas City, USA 
"‘Re-Membering’ History in Student and Teacher Learning comes as a gift to all educators who believe that it is still possible to modify, even radically change, our attitudes about culture-based teaching."―Molefi Kete Asante, Temple University, USA and Visiting Professor, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.
