Описание: This book examines how the identification of John the Evangelist with the Apostle John, the son of Zebedee, from around the third century, gave rise to various conflated narratives. Dean Furlong argues that this culminated in Eusebius`s synthesis of the traditions, which provided the template for the traditional Johannine narrative.

Описание: With the right information, we can develop public policies that work better.
All too often, public policy textbooks offer a basic grounding in the policy process without the benefit of integrating the use of policy analysis. Michael E. Kraft and Scott R. Furlong take a different tack.
Public Policy: Politics, Analysis, and Alternatives, Seventh Edition helps students understand how and why policy analysis is used to assess policy alternatives. The text encourages them to not only question the assumptions of policy analyst, but also recognize how these strategies are used in the support of political arguments. The authors introduce and fully integrate an evaluative approach to policy to encourage critical and creative thinking on issues ranging from health care to climate change. From a concise review of institutions, policy actors, and major theoretical models to a discussion of the nature of policy analysis and its practice, Kraft and Furlong show students how to employ evaluative criteria in six substantive policy areas. Students come away with the analytic tools they need to understand that the motivations of policy actors--both within and outside of government--influence a complex yet comprehensible policy agenda.

Описание: In the Appalachian town of Bone Gap, Tennessee, backwoods justice is more than just blind. It's swift, silent, and shockingly personal. Especially for Irish Traveller turned deputy sheriff Brynn Callahan . . . "Hear No Evil." The first message is found in a playground. A few feet away, a pair of human ears hang from the monkey bars. Deputy sheriff Brynn Callahan isn't sure what to make of this grisly scene. Do the ears belong to a murder victim? And if so, where is the body? One thing Brynn is sure of: the earring on one of the earlobes belongs to a man she met at a party the previous night. . . "Speak No Evil." The second message is discovered next to a human tongue on a park pavilion. Once again, no body is found. Brynn can't help but wonder if the crimes are rooted in the town's long-simmering tensions between Bone Gap locals and the barely tolerated Travellers who've settled there. "See No Evil." For Brynn, the investigation hits too close to home--forcing her to confront the demons of her own past. But time is running out. Brynn has to track down the culprit before a third message is delivered--and a third victim is claimed. Rich, atmospheric, and brilliantly chilling, Shattered Justice is the third Bone Gap Travellers novel from the acclaimed author of Splintered Silence and Fractured Truth. "Brynn Callahan is the gutsy heroine of Susan Furlong's gritty series, a real find, if you ask me. The thickly forested setting is gorgeous, once you look past the armed militia encampments pitched in the woods. And the locals are just quirky enough to make you forget they can also be dangerous. But the sturdy wildflower in this treacherous terrain is Brynn, who lives with a dog named Wilco, 'once the best damn HRD (human remains detection) dog in the entire Middle Eastern conflict.' The question is, are these two veterans tough enough to survive on the home front?" --The New York Times Book Review "Furlong carefully interlaces the two story lines as they come together in an unexpected and nail-biting resolution...Readers will hope Brynn and Wilco will be back soon." --Publishers Weekly "A harrowing portrait of addiction, prejudice, and redemption neatly encapsulated in a guileful mystery." --Kirkus Reviews

Описание: Twenty years after the Tangentopoli corruption scandal, the dissolution of the ruling Christian Democrat party, the emergence of a major new centre-right party and the introduction of a new electoral system, Italy continues to face many of the same social, economic and political problems as before. The dominant discourse has been of a Second Republic, emerging in the 1990s, which was to have delivered major constitutional reform and a more representative relationship between politicians and voters. Since this has not happened, Italy is now said to face transition to a Third Republic. Paul Furlong argues that in fact there has been no Second Republic, only a period of dissolution. He tracks the continuities with the First Republic as well as the major institutional changes in Italian politics, society and political economy since 1994, analysing how and why the Second Republic has gone missing and what can be done about it. He argues that a Republic founded on commitment to European integration needs to find a new way of dealing with Europe and that many of the positive values of the First Republic social equality, representative democracy, pluralist citizenship and regional diversity must be reclaimed for Italy to regain confidence on the European and world stage.
