Logics of Legitimacy
The discipline of public administration draws predominantly from political and organizational theory, but also from other social and behavioral sciences, philosophy, and even theology. This diversity results in conflicting prescriptions for the "proper" administrative role. So, how are those new to public administration to know which ideas are "legitimate"? Rather than accepting conventional arguments for administrative legitimacy through delegated constitutional authority or expertise, Logics of Legitimacy: Three Traditions of Public Administration Praxis does not assume that any one approach to professionalism is accepted by all scholars, practitioners, citizens, or elected representatives...

People Like Ourselves
The stigmatization of mental illness in film has been well documented in literature. Little has been written, however, about the ability of movies to portray mental illness sympathetically and accurately. People Like Ourselves: Portrayals of Mental Illness in the Movies fills that void with a close look at mental illness in more than seventy American movies, beginning with classics such as The Snake Pit and Now, Voyager and including such contemporary successes as A Beautiful Mind and As Good as It Gets. Films by legendary directors Billy Wilder, William Wyler, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and John Cassavetes are included. Through th...
A Prolegomenon to the Study of Paul
A Prolegomenon to the Study of Paul examines foundational assumptions that ground all interpretations of the apostle Paul. This examination touches on several topics, invoking issues pertaining to truth, hermeneutics, canonicity, historiography, pseudonymity, literary genres, and authority. Underlying all of this is a guiding thesis, namely, that every encounter with Paul involves “Pauline Archimedean points,” or fixed points of reference that establish the measure for constructing any interpretation of Paul whatsoever. Building on this, the author interrogates various issues that inform the formation of these Pauline Archimedean points, in pursuit of an important but modest goal: to urge Pauline readers to engage in a modicum of self-reflection over the various considerations that precondition all of our efforts to comprehend Paul.

Sayre Family
Thomas Sayre came with his family from England to Lynn, Massachusetts in the early 1630's. Among descendants of Thomas were clergymen, surgeons, attorneys, ambassadors, and representatives of almost every profession. Francis B., cowboy, professor of law, and ambassador, was son-in-law of former President Woodrow Wilson. Zelda was the wife of American novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and subject of one of his books. David A. was a silversmith, banker, and founder of Lexington's Sayre School. Many Sayre descendants were taken by wars in service to America and never had the chance to win recognition for their inherent abilities. SAYRE FAMILY another 100-years, in a large part, focuses on the earl...
Murder By The Numbers
Set against the backdrop of San Diego, Murder By The Numbers—The Righteous ONE, is a murder mystery that explores the world of the Enneagram, a personality typing system that is now being taught and used around the world by psychologists, therapists, counselors, teachers, religious leaders, writers, business executives, and a growing number of individuals, as a way of understanding human motivation and personality characteristics. When a prominent psychologist and Enneagram author is found dead, the apparent victim of a mercy killing, San Diego’s Portuguese-American chief-of-police, Eddie DeSilva, pairs up with Pauline Graham—a psychologist who uses the Enneagram personality typing system in her practice—to help prove the innocence of the victim’s daughter. Having just lost his wife of thirty years and been forced to retire following an officer-involved shooting, DeSilva quickly locks horns with the new chief-of-police for “meddling in police affairs” as he tries to solve the murder and, with Pauline’s help, comes to understand how the Enneagram can help explain some unhealthy choices—including his own.
