Rebels with a cause : reimagining boys, ourselves, and our culture / by Way, Niobe,1963-author.(CARDINAL)893963;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Thin and thick stories -- Part one: boys' nature -- Human nature -- Boys' friendships -- The story of Nick -- Part two: "boy" culture -- Adherence -- Resistance -- The story of Danny -- Part three: the nature/culture clash -- Suicide -- Mass violence -- The story of Troy -- Part four: solutions -- Joining their cause -- Schools -- Workplaces and homes -- The story of us."From NYU professor of developmental psychology Niobe Way, an in-depth exploration about what boys and young men teach us about themselves, us, and the toxic culture we have created, one in which we value money over people, toys over human connection, and academic achievement over kindness. Based on her longitudinal and mixed-method research over thirty-five years, Rebels with a Cause is a true call to action to change the culture so that we stop the vicious cycle of violence and blame. Dr. Niobe Way has spent her career researching social and emotional development and finds that boys and young men desperately want and need the same thing as everyone else: close friendships. Yet they and we grow up in a stereotyped "boy" culture, one that devalues and mocks those relationships, rather than recognizing that they're necessary for human survival. In Rebels with a Cause, Way takes her message one step beyond her previous book, Deep Secrets, which was the inspiration for an Oscar-nominated film Close, to reveal how these "rebels," as she calls the boys and young men in her research and in her classrooms, teach us about their and our crisis of connection, evidence of which is visible in our soaring rates of depression, anxiety, loneliness, suicide, and mass violence. They also teach us about the solutions to the crisis, which is to care, to listen with curiosity, and to take individual and collective responsibility for the damage we have done to them, to ourselves, and to the world around us. Way provides us not only with data-driven insight into the roots and consequences of this crisis of connection, but also offers us concrete and empirically tested strategies for creating a culture that better aligns with our human nature and our human needs. Her book reminds us that "it's not the rebels who cause the troubles of the world, it's the troubles that cause the rebels." The time to listen to and act on what young rebels have been telling us for almost a century is now"--

Using historical data to measure transportation infrastructure constraints on land use / by Miller, John S.(John Sanders)(CARDINAL)314720; Demetsky, Michael J.(CARDINAL)313581; Virginia.Department of Transportation.(CARDINAL)291718; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 54-59).Final report.Conventional practice for developing transportation forecasts is to calibrate a model for base year conditions and then apply the model to identify future deficiencies. These models typically begin with an assumed land use and then project future traffic volumes. To determine limitations on land development as a function of the capability of the transportation system, this research effort reversed that direction, beginning with transportation system characteristics as the independent variable and calculating employment and population as dependent variables. To evaluate this process, a case study area was selected for which transportation planning data were available at three points in time over a 25-year period. This area is Charlottesville, Virginia, with imperfect snapshots of transportation and land use characteristics from 1967, 1979, and 1990. A five-component modeling process was developed and applied to the Charlottesville area for the 1967 base year. This initial approach made intuitive sense, was built from models suggested by the literature, and worked reasonably well on a small theoretical network. The performance of one component, however, was extremely weak and led the authors to develop a direct estimation model instead. This revised technique directly estimates zonal trip ends based on transportation system variables that are influenced by link volumes, roadway types, travel distances, and the geographical position of the zone. Additionally, the authors regressed retail employment, non-retail employment, and population to zonal trip ends. Lessons learned with 1967 data were used to calibrate the model for the 1979 base year and apply it for the 1990 forecast year. For individual zones, errors on the order of 50% were obtained, with larger values for retail employment and smaller values for non-retail employment and population. For the aggregate study area, errors between 6% and 21% were obtained. Suggestions about how this model formulation might be interpreted to yield land use limits as a function of traffic volumes are discussed. A simple finding for achieving convergence with the iterative entropy maximization method is stated. Recommendations for using historical data to predict the present, ensuring that these planning data are available for future efforts, and conducting a longitudinal study are presented. Issues associated with linking data from different time periods are explained.Sponsored by Virginia Department of Transportation in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.

Who makes issues newsworthy and important? Why do some issues receive more attention than others? Social issues that are widely recognized on the media's agenda often demand attention on the public agenda, and in turn influence the policy agenda, creating policy changes. James W. Dearing and Everett M. Rogers's research on social issues that hit the top of the media agenda - e.g., the war on drugs, drunk driving, the Exxon Valdez, the Ethiopian famine, and AIDS - provides important theoretical and practical insight into the agenda-setting process and its role in effecting social change. This reader-friendly volume introduces students to an important area of communication research and offers them direction for further inquiry. Researchers and professionals in political and mass communication, media studies, research methods, and marketing also will appreciate this volume's insightful approach to agenda-setting and policy.
