This original contribution to porn studies aims to interrogate previously untheorized changes in contemporary understandings of the pornographic. Helen Hester argues that the words "porn" and "pornographic" are currently being applied to an ever-expanding range of material and that this change in language usage reflects a wider shift in perception. She suggests that we are witnessing a seemingly paradoxical move away from sex within contemporary understandings of porn, as a range of other factors come to influence the concept. Using examples from media, literature, and culture, and discussing the rise of notions such as "torture porn" and "misery porn," Hester's argument ranges from sexually explicit German novels and British policy documents to a discussion of the differences between European and American editions of pornographic films. She concludes that four factors in particular—transgression, intensity, prurience, and authenticity—can be seen to influence the way that we think about porn.

In Beyond the Visible Church, theologian Florian Klug investigates the Abel motif hermeneutically throughout Christian church history. By showing how the biblical motif of Abel was read and used by representative theologians like Augustine, Bonaventure, Martin Luther, Yves Congar, and others of each epoch, Klug builds the story of the Church’s self-conception and shows how it has evolved over time. By tracing this theological and ecclesiological history and how the motif formed theologians and the Church over time, Klug shows readers a new way to conceive and understand God’s universal will for salvation. By deconstructing and reconstructing the historical occurrences of these ideas, Klug demonstrates that the Church’s self-conception is not yet complete. This unique and ground-breaking study opens new ways forward for Catholic ecclesiology—hope for today’s universal Church.

This book provides a groundbreaking exploration of how task-based language teaching (TBLT) can effectively develop second language (L2) pragmatic competence in young learners. Bridging the gap between TBLT and L2 pragmatics, this volume addresses critical issues in language education, offering insights into teaching key speech acts. Specifically, it compares the outcomes of TBLT with the traditional PPP framework in teaching L2 speech acts to Polish learners of L2 English aged 8 to 9. Chapter 1 deals with pragmatics and pragmatic competence, highlighting its importance in effective communication and language use in social contexts. It addresses L2 pragmatics, the development of L2 pragmatic competence, and the challenges in teaching and assessing this competence. Chapter 2 overviews TBLT, its theoretical foundations, practical implementation, and related empirical research. It discusses the cognitive-interactionist and sociocultural perspectives on L2 acquisition and the effectiveness of tasks. Chapter 3 reviews empirical research on using tasks in teaching L2 pragmatics, especially to young learners. Chapter 4 details the research methodology used in the study, including the context, participants, target speech acts, data elicitation instruments, and analysis procedures. Chapter 5 presents the results of the study. Chapter 6 discusses the findings, their pedagogical implications, and the limitations of the study. Chapter 7 offers conclusions. Rich with pedagogical implications, the volume is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners interested in task-based and task-supported teaching, L2 pragmatics, and innovative approaches to teaching young learners.

Dynamics Beyond Predictability: Foundations and Techniques of Chaos and Nonlinear Systems offers a thorough and accessible tour of the mathematical and conceptual underpinnings of modern nonlinear science. It begins with rigorous treatments of dynamical systems, phase space geometry, and bifurcation theory, building a clear framework for understanding stability and the emergence of complex behavior in both continuous and discrete settings. Emphasis on intuition and formalism alike equips readers to move seamlessly from foundational theory to applied analysis. The book introduces key quantitative tools—Lyapunov exponents, topological entropy, fractal dimensions—and practical methods for visualizing and diagnosing chaotic behavior. In-depth studies of classical and contemporary routes to chaos (period-doubling cascades, intermittency, quasi-periodicity, and the transition to turbulence) are illustrated by landmark models such as the Lorenz and Rössler systems. Attention to the geometric and statistical facets of chaos—strange attractors, fractals, and symbolic dynamics—alongside the effects of stochastic perturbations, noise, and techniques for control and synchronization, connects theory to experiment and applications like secure communications. Broadening its reach, the text explores real-world phenomena across fluid mechanics, biological rhythms, engineered devices, and complex networks, and concludes with a forward-looking discussion of open problems and emerging directions, including quantum chaos and machine-learning approaches to nonlinear dynamics. With its balanced blend of rigorous analysis, computational tools, and practical case studies, the book is an essential resource for researchers, advanced students, and practitioners seeking to understand and harness dynamics beyond predictability.

Present-day Evangelicalism represents a microcosm of broader tensions over male and female gender roles, with some denominations carefully delimiting women leadership roles, especially the female pastor, and many others supporting them. The letters attributed to Paul the Apostle contain several divisive passages on the meaning of manhood and womanhood. Dated and dubious readings of these have led some, Christians and non-Christians alike, to conclude that Paul wrote with misogynistic intent. Others quote them to justify Christian patriarchalism. Beyond the Evangelical Gender Roles Gridlock: Reimagining Paul's Views on Women, Marriage, and Ministry reassesses what Paul said about women, reinterpreting his claims on marriage and ministry leadership in light of his first-century worldview. This book proposes a nuanced theological egalitarian approach with significant implications for renewing twenty-first-century congregations, homes, and society.

An authoritative volume discussing the most influential state-of-the-art behavior-based alternatives to traditional self-reports in psychological assessment Traditional self-reports can be an unsufficiant source of information about personality, attitudes, affect, and motivation. What are the alternatives? This first volume in the authoritative series Psychological Assessment – Science and Practice discusses the most influential, state-of-the-art forms of assessment that can take us beyond self-report. Leading scholars from various countries describe the theoretical background and psychometric properties of alternatives to self-report, including behavior-based assessment, observational methods, innovative computerized procedures, indirect assessments, projective techniques, and narrative reports. They also look at the validity and practical application of such forms of assessment in domains as diverse as health, forensic, clinical, and consumer psychology.

This volume, a collection of eleven original essays by many of the foremost U.S. military historians, focuses on the transition of the Army from parade ground to battleground in each of nine wars the United States has fought. Through careful analysis of organization, training, and tactical doctrine, each essay seeks to explain the strengths and weaknesses evidenced by the outcome of the first significant engagement or campaign of the war. The concluding essay sets out to synthesize the findings and to discover whether or not American first battles manifest a characteristic "rhythm." America's First Battles provides a novel and intellectually challenging view of how America has prepared for war and how operations and tactics have changed over time. The thrust of the book, the emphasis on operational history, is at the forefront of scholarly activity in military history. This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.
