The Ethical Educator
The Ethical Educator addresses critical aspects of ethical conduct related to teaching and teacher research. Identifying strategies and opportunities for reflection, it seeks to guide teachers and researchers in their quest for adherence to the highest level of ethical standards within their practice. Written from an educational perspective, this book will appeal especially to teachers engaged in research in classroom settings, those engaged in collaborative research within the university and school, and pre-service teachers. The book addresses the numerous ethical codes by which teachers are guided - those of their professional associations, as well as those set forth by teaching and research associations - and the many ways in which world issues challenge our systems of teaching and research, providing opportunities for self-reflection on ethical behavior.
Genetics and the Logic of Evolution
In this book the authors draw on what is known, largely from recent research, about the nature of genes and cells, the genetics of development and animal and plant body plans, intra- and interorganismal communication, sensation and perception, to propose that a few basic generalizations, along with the modified application of the classical evolutionary theory, can provide a broader theoretical understanding of genes, evolution, and the diverse and complex nature of living organisms.

An Organ of Murder
Finalist for the 2022 Cheiron Book Prize An Organ of Murder explores the origins of both popular and elite theories of criminality in the nineteenth-century United States, focusing in particular on the influence of phrenology. In the United States, phrenology shaped the production of medico-legal knowledge around crime, the treatment of the criminal within prisons and in public discourse, and sociocultural expectations about the causes of crime. The criminal was phrenology’s ideal research and demonstration subject, and the courtroom and the prison were essential spaces for the staging of scientific expertise. In particular, phrenology constructed ways of looking as well as a language for identifying, understanding, and analyzing criminals and their actions. This work traces the long-lasting influence of phrenological visual culture and language in American culture, law, and medicine, as well as the practical uses of phrenology in courts, prisons, and daily life.
