Assessing imidacloprid for Nantucket pine tip moth (Rhyacionia frustrana) suppression through regional collaborative research and focus group evaluation
Nantucket pine tip moth (NPTM) [Rhyacionia frustrana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)] is a pest of young pine trees. The goal of this research project was two-fold: 1) to evaluate imidacloprid for NPTM suppression in South Georgia and 2) to incorporate county agents into a research project to facilitate knowledge transfer and extension training. Research sites in one-year planted loblolly pine stands were established by an extension specialist and cou…

Move: An American Religion
This book is a religious history of MOVE, a small, mostly African American religious group devoted to the religious teachings of John Africa that emerged in Philadelphia in the early 1970s.

In 1985, the Philadelphia Police Department—working in concert with federal and state law enforcement—attacked a home that MOVE people shared in West Philadelphia, involving hundreds of police officers and firef…
The Aliites: Race and Law in the Religions of Noble Drew Ali. By Spencer Dew
Spencer Dew writes that his innovative and fascinating new book, The Aliites: Race and Law in the Religions of Noble Drew Ali, grew out of conversations he had with his students who were police officers for the Chicago Police Department. The police officers shared with Dew how frustrating it was to interact with people calling themselves Moors. Moors often carried homemade identifying papers or none at all. They tried to draw the police officers …
Redeeming The Human: Black Natural Law, Secularism, And Human Rights

Pompey's consulships: The end of electoral competition in the late Roman Republic
Electoral competition in the Late Roman Republic ended in 49 at the start of the civil war between Caesar and Pompey. That event could not have been long foreseen; nonetheless, when consideration is given to the state of the res publica in the two decades beforehand, it might be assumed that some significant undermining of the political system had already occurred. One such subversive player might have been Pompey, who played a dominant role in p…
