Unmasking Deception
Emotional mimicry, an unconscious nonverbal response, may reveal how people react to truthful versus deceptive communication. Mimicry typically increases when individuals seek connection but may be suppressed when deception reduces liking and affiliation. Emotional tone further shapes this process: positive expressions promote alignment, whereas negative ones can evoke scepticism or discomfort. This study examined how message truthfulness and emo…

Towards a desistance-focused approach to probation supervision for people who have committed Intimate Partner Violence
We analyse practitioner and service user reflections on a digitally enabled toolkit designed to enable desistance-focused conversations within routine probation supervision of men with convictions for Intimate Partner Violence in England and Wales. We explore how to embed inclusive therapeutic service provision within the role of public sector National Probation Service practitioners through the testimony of case managers (N = 9) and people on pr…
Oral hygiene effects verbal and nonverbal displays of confidence
Although oral hygiene is known to impact self-confidence and self-esteem, little is known about how it influences our interpersonal behavior. Using a wearable, multi-sensor device, we examined differences in consumers' individual and interpersonal confidence after they had or had not brushed their teeth. Students (N = 140) completed nine one-to-one, 3-minute "speed dating" interactions while wearing a device that records verbal, nonverbal, and mi…

The Dead March
This superb work demonstrates both the strengths and limitations of the social and cultural turns in military history. A synthesis of much of the last generation of specialized scholarship, including Peter Guardino's significant contributions regarding Mexican society and politics, it is above all a “social and cultural history,” and by far the best such available, especially for the Mexican experience of the Mexican-American War. But the role of…

How the Army Became Accepted
Despite contemporary rhetoric, the regular or standing army was ultimately accepted by Jacksonian politicians, the middle class, and elites, because of its growing accountability to national needs and social norms. This social‐political accountability was largely instilled at the Military Academy at West Point as reformed during the 1820s; it helped foster general civilian acceptance of a growing professional monopoly over the direction of nation…
The News from Brownsville
The News from Brownsville: Helen Chapman's Letters from the Texas Military Frontier, 1848-1852. Edited by Caleb Coker. (Austin: Texas State Historical Association, 2002. Pp. xxvi, 410. Illustrations, appendix. $29.95.) Helen Chapman was an army officer's wife, which by definition meant a woman of at least middle-class status and attitudes. Although their husbands could ride, hunt, supervise working-class enlisted soldiers, and otherwise gain the …
Prepare for Saints
Perhaps the oddest and most influential collaboration in the history of American modernism was hatched in 1926, when a young Virgil Thomson knocked on Gertrude Stein's door in Paris. Eight years later, their opera Four in Three Acts became a sensation - the longest-running opera in Broadway history to date and the most widely reported cultural event of its time. Prepare for Saints is Steven Watson's brilliant and absorbing account of how that rev…

Pp. xxxii, 720. $49.00, ISBN 0-87338-628-0.) Forgotten Valor is a whale of a book. Rarely are collections of personal papers so extensive or carefully edited without support of National Historical Publications and Records Committee. More than that, these papers are genuin…
Beating Ploughshares into Swords
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say I am strong. Joel 3:10 Beating Plowshares into Swords inaugurates an extraordinarily ambitious effort by Paul Koistinen to compose a comprehensive and wide-ranging study on the economics of American warfare from the colonial period to the present. When completed, this multi-volume project will stand as the definitive work on a complex subject that until now has …

Sustainable cities
This paper extends the debate over the ideal of the sustainable city, particularly as it relates to transport, by providing empirical evidence, from five case-study cities in the United Kingdom and one in the Netherlands on the links between urban form and energy consumption in transport. It also links energy use measures to the physical, economic, and social structure of the city to determine whether there are significant relationships. Energy-u…
