It goes beyond analyses of just the major models of moral development to encompass a wide range of competing theories. The authors bring under one cover analyses of childhood, adolescent, and lifelong theories and further explore the overall effects of higher education. Initially, they focus on Emile Durkeim's sociological paradigm, the foundation for or opponent of many subsequent theorists. They then delve into such models as Freud's psychoanalytical model, Sears' behavioral theory, Piaget's cognitive-structural approach, Erikson's socio-cultural synthesis, Perry's intellectual and ethical development theory, and Fowler's model of faith and human development." -- Cover.".

- catalog abstract "Beyond Minimalism explores Beckett's drama of the '70s and '80s, examining the ways in which play text and performance merge through the playwright's poetic idiom. Beginning with Not I and continuing through Catastrophe and What Where, Brater examines the plays not only as texts but also as theater pieces. Discussing the technical and aesthetic demands that productions like Footfalls and Rockaby make on actor, director, and spectator, Brater clarifies the essential relationship between Beckett's achievement in the context of the breakdown of genre, performance poetry, and the electronic intrusion of the recorded voice as a new theatrical convention. In the course of his analysis Brater demonstrates how Beckett's late style in the theater both continues and clarifies the dramatic lyricism that is the hallmark of earlier works such as Endgame and Waiting for Godot.".

- catalog abstract "This survey of Italian Renaissance art, from a new and different perspective, shows how art was a vital part of society and how all types of art and artists reflected the needs and aspirations of the culture from which they arose. Most books on Renaissance art are based on a chronological study of the major artists and their works. In this book, Bruce Cole covers the major types of art from c. 1250 to c. 1550, discusses their origins and development, documents their use and function, and describes their form and how and why the artists shaped them that way. Art is thus firmly connected with the life and society of the Renaissance rather than viewed as a separate entity: painting and sculpture are seen in their proper context. After a wide-ranging introduction, there are chapters on Italian Renaissance art in relation to domestic life, worship, civic life, death and afterlife, and Renaissance images and ideals.".
