Raised as a Southern Baptist in Rome, Georgia, Susan M. Shaw earned graduate degrees from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, was ordained a Southern Baptist minister, and prepared herself to lead a life of leadership and service among Southern Baptists. However, dramatic changes in both the makeup and the message of the Southern Baptist Convention during the 1980s and 1990s (a period known among Southern Baptists as "the Controversy") caused Shaw and many other Southern Baptists, especially women, to reconsider their allegiances.

Personality and Politics
Renowned presidential scholar Stephen Wayne takes a close look at the interplay of personal character, partisan politics, and public opinion on presidential decision-making. In this systematic character study, Wayne considers how President Obama’s policy beliefs and operating style fueled his meteoric success as a candidate, but have had a decidedly mixed impact on his governance as president. Arguing that character matters, Wayne shows that Obama’s personal dimensions both contribute and detract from his policy achievements and political goals. Taking into account the environment in which he took office up through the "shellacking" of the Democrats in November 2010, the book looks at how Obama has dealt with the troubled economy and a polarized political climate. Wayne sets his study within the larger literature on presidential character and explores the broader questions surrounding presidential leadership in a democratic society: Do presidents lead or follow public opinion? To what extent do leadership skills make a difference? What kind of policy and political impact can presidents have in the twenty-first century?
Sexuality and Its Disorders
Sexuality and Its Disorders explores sexuality from an evolutionary perspective using powerful, real-life case studies to help readers provide effective guidance around issues relating to sexuality. Drawing on his 30 years of clinical experience and research, author Mike Abrams provides a comprehensive, evidence-based, and clinically-oriented text with cutting-edge coverage throughout. Discussions include the physical and psychological development of sexual identity; the social aspects of sexual behavior; the many expressions of sexuality; cognitive behavior treatment of sexual problems; and more. The many perspectives of sexuality are examined with interviews and commentaries from major figures in the field—including David M. Buss, Helen Fisher, C. Sue Carter of Kinsey, Todd K. Shackelford, Ken Zucker, and Gordon Gallup—who discuss such topics as the origins of sexuality, the nature of love, the role of attachment, and the treatment of sexual problems.
Personenlexikon der Sexualforschung
Nach einem Vorlauf von mehr als drei Jahrzehnten des Suchens und Sammelns im Frankfurter Institut für Sexualwissenschaft legen in diesem Band 60 angesehene Forscherinnen und Forscher aus aller Welt 200 faszinierende Artikel über Leben und Werk bedeutender Sexualforscherinnen und Sexualforscher vor. Hierzu gehören prominente Fachvertreter, die Institute, Zeitschriften oder Fachgesellschaften gründeten, weichenstellende Kongresse abhielten, Standardwerke verfassten, Theorien entwickelten oder provozierende Hypothesen aufstellten. Aber auch wenig bekannte, zu ihrer Zeit und in ihrem Bereich jedoch nachhaltig wirkende Persönlichkeiten sowie Außenseiter, denen die Sexualwissenschaft wichtige Impulse verdankt, sind im vorliegenden Lexikon zu finden – ebenso bekannte Philosophen und Soziologen wie etwa Michel Foucault, Norbert Elias oder Niklas Luhmann. Ein besonderes Anliegen ist den Herausgebern die Erschließung des Werkes jener jüdischen Sexualwissenschaftler, die der Naziterror aus Deutschland vertrieben hat. Es gibt kein vergleichbares Werk weltweit.
