Book SynopsisIntersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Crenshaw, a scholar of law, critical race theory, and Black feminist legal theory, used intersectionality to explain the experiences of Black women whobecause of the intersection race, gender, and classare exposed to exponential and interlocking forms of marginalization and oppression often rendering them invisible. The second edition of Intersectionality & Higher Education: Theory, Research & Praxis further documents and expands upon Crenshaw's articulation of intersectionality within the context of higher education. The text includes (a) theoretical and conceptual chapters on intersectionality; (b) empirical research and research-based chapters using intersectionality as a framework; and (c) chapters focusing on intersectional practices, all within higher education settings. The volume may prove beneficial for graduate programs in ethnic studies, higher education, sociology, student affairs, and women and gendTrade Review“For those engaged in social justice work as well as those unfamiliar with the interwoven nature of identity and disparities that exacerbate oppression, and the nuances of multiple group memberships, intersectionality is essential in advancing justice and curbing inequities. Too often is the case that scholars, practitioners, and advocates for social justice fall short of illustrating identity markers that are not siloes but routinely converge in fueling prejudice, systemic discrimination, and oppressive conditions. However, the second edition of Intersectionality & Higher Education edited by Donald “DJ” Mitchell, Jr. and associates recognizes this constraint subsequently providing breadth and depth on intersectionality. Readers will be informed and enlightened with complex applied theoretical, methodological, and practical intersectional approaches.”—Eboni M. Zamani-Gallaher, Associate Dean & Professor, The Graduate College, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"The breadth and depth across theory, research, and praxis with which intersectionality is examined in the second edition of Intersectionality & Higher Education is especially impressive. The infusion of personal perspectives throughout the book adds to its authenticity and meaningfulness. However, what is most powerful is the active interrogation of intersectionality—recognizing that it is not just about individuals and individual identities—but instead reifying that intersectionality is, at its core, about systemic inequality."—Raechele L. Pope, Associate Dean & Associate Professor, Graduate School of Education, University at Buffalo; Lead Author, Creating Multicultural Change on Campus"This is a thorough and thoughtful second edition written by a stellar group of seasoned scholars. I heard the voices of so many minoritized individuals who rarely have their identities, issues, and concerns recognized in higher education and student affairs canons, either theoretically, in research or practice. I saw myself in various chapters throughout the book which empowered and validated who I am and my experiences and struggles, particularly on predominantly White campuses. Intersectionality & Higher Education is a rare and welcome text that is true to Kimberlé Crenshaw's original writings and interpretation of intersectionality."—Mary F. Howard-Hamilton, Distinguished Research Professor & Chair, Bayh College of Education, Indiana State University"There is a saying, when you know better, you do better. The second edition of Intersectionality & Higher Education will help educators do better around identity development and understanding contexts and institutional power structures that press down upon those most affected by marginalization. The renowned scholars that contributed to this book give readers an accessible way to unpack intersectionality within higher education."—Bridget Turner Kelly, Associate Professor, College of Education, University of Maryland; Executive Editor, Journal of Student Affairs Research and PracticeTable of ContentsList of Figures and Tables – D-L Stewart: Foreword – Donald "DJ" Mitchell, Jr.: Preface – Acknowledgments – Charmaine L.

Book SynopsisThis book serves as a valuable resource for surgeons and health care providers at all stages of their career caring for patients with colorectal disease. This edition provides all newly written chapters, organized around the “pillars” of colorectal disease: perioperative (including endoscopy); anorectal disease; benign disease (including inflammatory bowel disease); malignancy; pelvic floor disorders; and a “miscellaneous” section that covers aspects both inside and beyond the operating room. Chapters are formatted to follow that of a “how to” manual as well as an algorithm-based guide to allow the reader to understand the thought process behind a proposed treatment strategy. By making use of evidence-based recommendations, each chapter includes not only background information and diagnostic/therapeutic guidelines, but also provides operative technical details and perioperative “tips and tricks” that are utilized in the management of these complex surgical challenges. Chapters also include the assessment of risk and methods utilized to minimize perioperative complications. In addition, the book incorporates sections covering the medical and surgical therapies for abdominal, pelvic and anorectal disease. Written by experts in the field from around the world, The ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery 4th Edition exposes the many critical gaps in our knowledge base and inspires the next generation to answer them through thoughtful and high level scientific inquiry.

Book SynopsisThis third edition text provides a completely revised and updated new version of this unique, modern, practical text that covers the strategic evaluation, specific approaches, and detailed management techniques utilized by expert colorectal surgeons caring for patients with complex problems–whether they result from underlying colorectal disease or from complications arising from previous surgical therapy. The format follows that of both a “how to” manual as well as an algorithm-based guide to allow the reader to understand the thought process behind the proposed treatment strategy. By making use of evidence-based recommendations, each chapter includes not only background information and diagnostic/therapeutic guidelines, but also provides a narrative by the author on his/her operative technical details and perioperative “tips and tricks” that they utilize in the management of these complex surgical challenges. Distinctive to this book, is the reliance on experts in the field including past presidents of the ASCRS, as well as multiple other national and internationally recognized surgeons, to lend their personal insight into situations where data may be more sparse, but individual and collective experience is paramount to making sound decisions and thereby optimizing patient outcomes. The text includes chapters on the assessment of risk and methods utilized to minimize perioperative complications. In addition, it incorporates sections covering the medical and surgical therapies for abdominal, pelvic and anorectal disease. Moreover, the technical challenges of managing complications resulting from the original or subsequent operations is addressed. The underlying focus throughout the text is on providing pragmatic and understandable solutions that can be readily implemented by surgeons of varying experience to successfully treat complex colorectal problems. However, it also goes beyond the technical aspects of colorectal surgery and includes special sections highlighting the essence of a surgeon; covering aspects involving the medical-legal, ethical, and economic challenges confronting surgeons. Throughout the text, each author provides an ongoing narrative of his/her individual surgical techniques along with illustrations and diagrams to “personally” take the reader through the crucial steps of the procedure, and key points of patient care inherent to that topic. Additionally, where appropriate, links to online videos give the reader an up-front look into technical aspects of colorectal surgery.Table of ContentsSECTION 1: PERIOPERATIVE/ ENDOSCOPY Chapter 1 Anatomy and Embryology of the Colon, Rectum & Anus Joseph C.

Book SynopsisThis volume of Research in the Sociology of Organizations explores the institutional macro foundations of action, providing an array of insights into the constitutive and contextualizing powers of institutions, and an agenda for further exploration of these themes. The recent increase in attention to the micro foundations of institutions has been fruitful, but risks obscuring institutions' constitutive and contextualizing powers. This volume addresses this risk by focusing attention on how institutions shape the workings of the social and material world, our fundamental experiences, and the real-time unfolding of activity. It examines these institutional macro foundations, and provides rich accounts of the ways in which macro foundations shape and are shaped by micro-dynamics, in a co-constitutive interplay. This volume will be essential reading for management researchers, students, and all those interested in organization and organizational life.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisColorectal Surgery has continued to experience tremendous growth in both the community and academic settings over the past few years. The recent increase in demand for colorectal specialists has been fueled by an overwhelming number of applications to fellowship training programs, resulting in some of the most coveted and competitive positions. Furthermore, the accumulation of experience, knowledge, and wisdom from pioneers in the field, combined with major recent technological advances, has transformed the clinical management of diseases of the colon and rectum. Colorectal Surgeons have embraced advances ranging from minimally invasive approaches for complex problems to novel training methods for future generations. Additionally, we have spearheaded innovations in the management of colorectal cancer, pelvic floor disorders, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and anorectal conditions. Despite these improvements, there remains a seemingly never-ending mixture of complex patient disease processes and complications resulting from the care of these patients. Even in cases where the technical challenges were managed successfully, complications or poor function may result in dramatic life-long consequences, reduced quality of life, as well as having economic implications. The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) is the premiere professional organization of Colon and Rectal Surgeons. Three editions of the ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery have been published and have proved to be extremely valuable for their wealth of general information and knowledge, providing not only background information, but also specifics regarding the more complex situations that surgeons who treat patients with colorectal disease experience on a regular basis. An ASCRS manual was produced in in 2009 and 2014, each accompanying their original textbooks. This has been formed by abstracting the textbook into a bullet format; all figures and most tables were retained. The 3rd edition of the Textbook (published by Springer) included completely new chapters and authors. This 3rd edition of the Manual is indicated to conform to the new edition of the Textbook and incorporate newer information in the field of colon and rectal surgery. This Manual will serve as a very useful resource for physicians and researchers dealing with diseases of the colon and rectum. It will provide a concise yet comprehensive summary of the current status of the field that will help guide education, patient management and stimulate investigative efforts. All chapters were written and abstracted by experts in their fields and will include the most up to date scientific and clinical information.Trade Review“This book is written for senior surgical residents, colorectal surgery fellows, or practicing colorectal surgeons. … This is a nice book that will be a valuable resource to its readers. It is a short and efficient primer on a number of colorectal issues and will serve as a nice adjunct to the much larger textbook.” (Peter Nau, Doody's Book Reviews, May 17, 2019)Table of Contents

Book SynopsisWritten with clarity and wit by two top scientists, North American Tree Squirrels illuminates the everyday lives of gray and fox squirrels, the two most dominant types of tree squirrels of the eastern United States.Drawing on more than twenty years of research, Michael A. Steele and John L. Koprowski detail the behavior, reproduction, diet, physiology, and habitat use of these engaging rodents, as well as their complex interdependent relationships with seed-producing trees. The authors compare and contrast tree squirrels with other members of their family, including ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, and prairie dogs. In addition to scientific revelations, the authors describe their fieldwork, from the pitfalls of patrolling forests at night in order to check nest boxes to the challenges of fitting squirrels with radio-tracking collars.
