In Where Three Worlds Met, Sarah Davis-Secord investigates Sicily''s place within the religious, diplomatic, military, commercial, and intellectual networks of the Mediterranean by tracing the patterns of travel, trade, and communication among Christians (Latin and Greek), Muslims, and Jews. By looking at the island across this long expanse of time and during the periods of transition from one dominant culture to another, Davis-Secord uncovers the patterns that defined and redefined the broader Muslim-Christian encounter in the Middle Ages.

A visual celebration of jeweled masterworks from Paris in the Art Deco era One Christmas Eve, Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan gave his wife, Princess Catherine, an exquisite jeweled box made by Cartier in the 1920s, thus starting the most magnificent collection of objects created in the Art Deco era by jewelers, at a time when the jeweler’s art was at the height of beauty and creativity. In the 1920s, rapid changes in society and technology were rejected in art through striking contrasts of line, color, and material. The innovative luxuries in this book—breathtaking bejeweled vanity and cigarette cases, timepieces, jewelry, and a photograph frame—take their inspiration from varied sources, including the natural world, exotic locations, and industrial design. Chinese dragons, Persian birds, and Japanese plum blossoms appear on boxes created with an explosion of colored gemstones and enamel juxtaposed with boxes in black, white, and gold stripped of excessive ornamentation. The exuberance of the boldest pieces contrasts with the starkly elegant machine-inspired designs, but both are equally considered and iconic of this era of excitement, change, and creativity. Smoky nightclubs, with flappers drinking cocktails, and exotically decorated apartments, resplendent for chic dinner parties, provided a new landscape for the designs of the great jewelry houses of Europe and America, with Paris as the undisputed center. In Jeweled Splendors of the Art Deco Era, published to coincide with an exhibition at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Museum, New York., expert authors explore the development of this new artistic world by considering the exotic influences of the important jewelers—including Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, Boucheron, Lacloche Freres, and, above all, Cartier—as well as the process of design and making, and the impact of changing femininity. Well over 100 pieces are accompanied by detailed descriptions and were specially photographed for this publication by the renowned photographer Doug Rosa. This collection from the most important period in the history of jewelry and the decorative arts is unsurpassed in quality and is beautifully shown here with a wealth of context and detail.

Often, emerging adults spend their summers working in the camp environment. While efforts have been made to understand the camper experience, research regarding the growth and development lacks, especially as it concerns leadership. This study uses data gathered by Ribbe and Cyrus in their exploratory study, "Exploring the Impact of Summer Camp Employment on Camp Staff." In this study, 236 camp staff between the ages of 18 - 24 completed the Leadership Practices Inventory by Kouzes and Posner. This study seeks to explore the following: (1) the impact of Christian summer camp employment on leadership development of emerging adult staff and (2) what aspects of staff training, supervision, and care are correlated with positive growth in leadership. The data showed that emerging adults do grow in leadership ability from the beginning to the end of their summer spent working in the camp employment. Although camp cannot be claimed as the cause of this positive change in leadership, Pearson Correlation tests reveal that there is a connection between aspects of staff training, support, and supervision and what the Leadership Practices Inventory measures.

Abstract: Law enforcement officers have a unique job description. Long periods of sedentary behavior are intermixed with moments of required physical exertion. The purpose of this study was to assess the need of a regulated exercise training program, the effect of the motivational environment of a workout facility, and the need for incentives to benefit law enforcement officers'' health and physical fitness levels. Participants included 76 (62 male) active law enforcement officers employed by a university in the Big XII conference. Measures included a fifty-four item questionnaire including demographic information, specific health and exercise questions and questions concerning specific incentives to increase exercise adherence. The Commitment to Exercise Scale and the Perceived Motivational Climate in Exercise Questionnaire are two previously validated surveys that were also used. University police departments were contacted via email and asked for their willingness to participate. Upon agreement an email was sent containing the link to the online Qualtrics survey. The survey was available for one month. Descriptive statistics were calculated for the Commitment to Exercise Scale and the Perceived Motivational Climate Scale. Demographics and total responses for health and exercise questions also were examined using descriptive statistics. Frequencies were calculated for gender, individual health information and individual exercise information. Results found the average BMI was 29.43 which is classified as overweight. The most common health symptom was high blood pressure. The majority (51.4%) spent 3-5 days per week participating in exercise. Police officers in the Big XII perceive the climate within their fitness facility as ego-involving which involves individuals being motivated by extrinsic factors as opposed to the desirable intrinsic motivators. Incentives that are important to this population include the ability to earn time off or being promoted. These results are important because it is apparent that the current fitness regimens being performed are not successful in decreasing health complications. This population, which is at a greater risk for cardiovascular disease and is involved with a known stressful occupation, will benefit from participating in a regulated physical fitness regimen.
