Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problems of childhood and adolescence. Childhood anxiety impacts not only the anxious child themselves, but also parents and other family members who inevitably find themselves drawn into accommodating the child's symptoms. Parents of anxious children almost universally describe becoming entangled in the child's symptoms and research indicates that many of the efforts made by parents to help an anxious childactually prolong and maintain the anxiety symptoms. This book provides clinicians working with anxious children with practical strategies and tools for addressing this critical element of childhood anxiety disorders.

This book examines temple renovation as a rhetorical topic within royal literature of the ancient Near East. Unlike newly founded temples, which were celebrated for their novelty, temple renovations were oriented toward the past. Kings took the opportunity to rehearse a selective history of the temple, evoking certain past traditions and omitting others. In this way, temple renovations were a kind of historiography. Andrew R. Davis demonstrates a pattern in therhetoric of temple renovation texts: that kings in ancient Mesopotamia, Israel, Syria and Persia used temple renovation to correct, or at least distance themselves from, some turmoil of recent history and to associate their reigns with an earlier and more illustrious past.

The authors represent both establishedand new voices examining social psychological factors tied to the experience of disability.

But what if the text was manipulated? Robert R. Cargill explores the Hebrew and Greektexts concerning Melchizedek's encounter with Abraham in Genesis as a basis to unravel the biblical mystery of this character's origins.

They identify three waysin which the liberal international order is transforming. The Trump administration, declaring "America First," accelerates all three processes, lessening America's position as a world power.
