		Robert Fanuzzi St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, English Abolition’s Public Sphere 2004 Abolition’s Public Sphere examines the massive publicity campaign undertaken by the New England abolition movement on behalf of the enslaved. This campaign sought to enlist every member of society, slaves as well as children, in a political discussion of American slaveholding policy and the nature of national power. However, it was also intended to stir memories of past movements for democracy, such as the American Revolution, and transform every abolitionist into a latter-day revolutionary. William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and Henry Thoreau emerge in a striking new light in this book.

		David G. Farley *St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Institute for Core Studies/First-Year Writing* Modernist Travel Writing: Intellectuals Abroad 2011 Modernist Travel Writing explores the connection between modernist literature and travel writing in the period between the two World Wars. Focusing on the travel writing of Ezra Pound, E.E. Cummings, Wyndham Lewis and Rebecca West, this book explores how these modernist writers traveled to countries that experienced most directly the tumult of revolution, the effects of empire and the upheaval of war during the years between World War I and World War II. How they rendered these experiences in their late modernist texts helps us understand the ways in which modernism itself went through its most significant transformations in its complex late phase.

		Rebekah Z. Fassler *The School of Education, Early Childhood and Adolescent Education* Room for Talk: Teaching and Learning in a Multilingual Kindergarten 2004 How does a teacher who only speaks English address the challenges of working in a multilingual classroom? And what happens if she is the only fluent English speaker? This book features Mrs. Barker, an experienced ESL teacher who believes in the potential of her kindergarten second-language learners and uses identifiable strategies to maximize it. Illustrating how to make constructive use of “what children bring to the table,” this volume promotes sound early childhood educational practice in any classroom.

		Robert Finkel, Ph.D. *St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Physics* Concise Notes for Physics, 3rd Edition 2006 Concise Notes for Physics is a set of lecture notes presenting basic theory and typical problems. It serves as a guide through the voluminous and dense physics textbooks. It is being bundled with one of the foremost textbooks, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 3rd Edition, by Douglas Giancoli (PH).

		Concise Notes for Physics, 4th Edition 2008 Concise Notes presents basic theory and typical problems for introductory University Physics. Standard textbooks are too voluminous and dense for self-study; Concise Notes distills the information to manageable essentials. The fourth edition adheres to educational findings that show problem-solving is best facilitated with basic and transparent exercises rather than complex problems.

		Physics Lectures 2011 College and university physics textbooks are huge and densely packed with equations and information. Keeping pace has been likened to "drinking water from a fire hose." Faced with this excess, students usually rely on lectures to guide them through the simple fundamentals of the subject and standard model problems.

		Concise Introduction to Statistical Mechanics 2011 This book is the antithesis of encyclopedic texts written to appease specialists. Here readers find an introduction to statistical mechanics that is sufficiently simple and free from prior requirements that it may be understood quickly and comfortably. Readers use statistical mechanics in the opening pages. The book also gives unique, intuitive developments of probability distributions, entropy, information, and chemical potentials not found elsewhere.

		Jefferson M. Fish *St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Psychology* Drugs and Society: U.S. Public Policy   2006 There are two main approaches to reforming drug policy which reflect differing American values. One is the public health or harm reduction or cost/benefit approach, which implements the American value of pragmatism. The other—libertarian or rights-based approach—can be seen to implement the American value of individualism. It views the private behavior of adults as none of the government's business and aims at maximizing individual freedom. Drugs and Society includes a wide range of historical, social science, philosophical and legal background, and offers the reader the information needed to create an alternative drug policy.

		with Uwe P. Gielen and Juris G. Draguns, Ed.S. *St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Psychology* Handbook of Culture, Therapy, and Healing 2005 The editors have brought together leading psychologists, psychiatrists, anthropologists and others to consider the interaction of psychosocial, biological and cultural variables as they influence the assessment of health and illness and the course of therapy. The volume includes broadly conceived theoretical and survey chapters; detailed descriptions of specific healing traditions in Asia, the Americas, Africa and the Arab world; and chapters focusing on multicultural concerns within societies, specific populations (such as refugees) and the integration of traditional and modern forms of counseling and healing. Taken together, the chapters offer a broad overview of Western and non-Western traditions as they span the divides among psychosocial, medical and religious approaches.
