Methods and Protocols
2012
This book provides a collection of classic and cutting-edge
protocols for in vivo and in vitro study of transcription and
transcriptional regulation and covers (i) methods for assaying RNA
abundance and stability, (ii) analysis of promoter elements, (iii)
analysis of DNA-protein interactions, (iv) assays of chromatin
structure, and (v) chromatin modifications. The protocols are a
valuable tool for graduate students and post docs as well as more
senior biochemists and molecular biologists working in different
areas of transcriptional regulation. The protocols can also be
useful in a clinical laboratory, where physician-scientists are
looking for new methodologies potentially suitable for human
clinical testing. |

English Breadwinners: Working Women &
Economic Independence, 1865-1920
2010
From the end of the Civil War through the winning of suffrage,
working women in the nation’s industrializing cities launched a
series of campaigns to gain economic independence and political
rights. This book uncovers the stories of the visionary women who
laid the groundwork for contemporary feminism. More than a century
ago, these working women demanded equal pay for equal work and full
rights of citizenship, proudly identifying themselves as
“breadwinners” capable of supporting themselves and their
families. |

Violence Against Latina
Immigrants: Citizenship, Inequality and Community
2011
Caught between violent partners and the bureaucratic complications
of the U.S. Immigration system, many immigrant women are
particularly vulnerable to abuse. For two years, Roberta Villalón
volunteered at a nonprofit group that offers free legal services to
mostly undocumented immigrants who had been victims of abuse. Her
innovative study of Latina survivors of domestic violence explores
the complexities at the intersection of immigration, citizenship
and violence, and shows how inequality is perpetuated even through
the well-intentioned delivery of vital services. Through archival
research, participant observation and personal interviews, Violence
Against Latina Immigrants provides insight into the many obstacles
faced by battered immigrant women of color, bringing their stories
and voices to the fore. Ultimately, Villalón proposes an active
policy advocacy agenda and suggests possible changes to gender
violence-based immigration laws, revealing the complexities of the
lives of Latina immigrants as they confront issues of citizenship,
gender violence and social inequalities. |

Patience, Compassion, Hope, and the
Christian Art of Dying Well
2005
Patience, Compassion, Hope and the Christian Art of Dying
Well combines a strong pastoral sensibility with the best of
contemporary scholarship in Christian ethics to answer the pressing
questions of how Christians should respond to suffering and death.
The book provides an analysis of the ars moriendi (art of dying)
tradition of a few centuries ago and then builds upon and reshapes
that tradition for readers today. Carefully analyzing Luke’s
passion narrative, Vogt uses Jesus as the primary model for
patience in the face of death. By mining the rich tradition of
virtue ethics, Vogt uses the virtues of patience, compassion and
hope as a framework for specifying the shape of a good death and
for naming the practices Christians should develop to live well and
to die well. |
