Mawson's Mission
Before 1968, women’s athletics in higher education meant playdays and sports days. That spring, when the Division of Girls and Women in Sports announced that national collegiate sports championships for women would begin in 1969, Marlene Mawson, a new hire on the physical education faculty at the University of Kansas, was charged with establishing a women’s athletics program. “I was on my own,” Mawson recalls, “because there was no precedent for creating a women’s athletics program with a meager budget.” That meant planning sports competition schedules, staffing coaches, organizing policies and procedures for coaches and athletes, coordinating practice schedules, budgeting, and...
Ten Minutes Past Two
The death of Estelle Mercer's husband of thirty years in a violent work-related accident, leaves her by default as the new president and sole owner of the family construction business, a business of which she has virtually no working knowledge. As the new president of the company, she has no choice but to lean on the management team in place to help her get up to speed with her new responsibilities. Gene Davidson is one of the management team members who is most helpful during this early transition period, and eventually a romance develops that leads to complications that could cause a sudden end to the relationship. The sudden death in a foreign country of Estelle's close friend, Tara Isome, complicates the romance even more. There are many twists and turns and ups and downs as the story moves toward its dramatic, shocking and totally unexpected conclusion.

Motivational Interviewing with Offenders
From experts on working with court-mandated populations, this book shows how motivational interviewing (MI) can help offenders move beyond resistance or superficial compliance and achieve meaningful behavior change. Using this evidence-based approach promotes successful rehabilitation and reentry by drawing on clients' values, goals, and strengths--not simply telling them what to do. The authors clearly describe the core techniques of MI and bring them to life with examples and sample dialogues from a range of criminal justice and forensic settings. Of crucial importance, the book addresses MI implementation in real-world offender service systems, including practical strategies for overcoming obstacles. This book is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series, edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.
Rhetoric and Communication Perspectives on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault
This book brings rhetorical, legal, and professional communication perspectives to the discourse surrounding policy-making efforts within the United States around two types of violent crimes against women: domestic violence and sexual assault. The authors propose that such analysis adds to our understanding of rhetorical concepts such as kairos, risk perception, moral panic, genre analysis, and identity theory. Overall, the goal is to demonstrate how rhetorical, legal, and professional communication perspectives work together to illuminate public discourse and conflict in such complicated and ongoing dilemmas as how to aid victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, and how to manage the offenders of such crimes—social and cultural problems that continue to perplex the legal system and the social environment.
