Prayers in the Precincts: The Christian Right in the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Green, John Clifford / Rozell, Mark J. / Wilcox, Clyde, PUBLISHER: Georgetown University Press, In the wake of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, the Christian Right expected major victories in the elections. Instead, many of its allies lost close contests, and the movement was seen as a liability in some high-profile campaigns. In the only in-depth study of the Christian Right's role in these races, leading scholars analyze the role of the movement in fourteen key states, from Maine to California, and address speculations that the movement is fading from the American political scene. The book focuses on elections on the state and local levels, where the Christian Right is most influential, and it describes the movement's niche in some detail. Although each campaign described in the book had its unique characteristics, the editors have drawn some broad conclusions about the elections. While the movement was weak in the areas of candidate recruitment and fundraising, they say, the outcome may have also been related to external factors, including a broader turnout of typically Democratic constituencies and the country's boredom with the scandal that conservatives had made the centerpiece of their campaign. Despite the setbacks of , the contributors argue, the Christian Right continues to have an enormous influence on the political dialogue of the country. Written from an unbiased, nonpartisan perspective, this volume sheds light on a topic that is too frequently mired in controversy.
So It Begins
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gina Maria, PUBLISHER: Trafford Publishing, A holocaust is coming to Earth in the form of a deadly virus-one that will bring pandemonium and disaster to all. To survive, a wealthy billionaire named Simion builds a gigantic complex in the side of a mountain. He becomes a modern-day Noah, bringing in two of each living creature and providing protection for all those working on the top-secret project. When the day of reckoning arrives, one of Simion's key people, Zack, is home attending to his father's funeral. Too far away to make it to the complex, Zack has no choice but to stay put and watch the destruction around him. Incredibly, Zack discovers he is immune to the virus. He finds six other survivors, and the small group is determined to stay alive, no matter the obstacles they face. The group begins the long, arduous journey to find the compound, but as the years pass and Zack grows more and more confused as to its exact location, hope begins to run out. Yet before his death, Zack passes on the information to his children; now it is up to them to find Simion's complex. Only then will the future of the world be secure. Unique in scope, "So It Begins" is a riveting tale of how one individual's foresight and intellect becomes mankind's last hope.
Viewpoints on American Culture
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Baker, Jean H., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, In Votes For Women, Jean H. Baker has assembled an impressive collection of new scholarship on the struggle of American women for the suffrage. Each of the eleven essays illuminates some aspect of the long battle that lasted from the s to the passage of the suffrage amendment in . From the movement's antecedents in the minds of women like Mary Wollstonecraft and Frances Wright, to the historic gathering at Seneca Falls in , to the civil disobedience during World War I orchestrated by the National Woman's Party, the essential elements of this tumultuous story emerge in these finely-tuned chapters. So too do the themes and historical controversies about suffrage and its leaders, including Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, and Alice Paul. Contributors focus on how the suffrage battle was interwoven with constitutional issues at the federal and state level and how the suffrage struggle played out in different regions, especially the West and the South, as well as the activities of opponents to women's voting. Baker's introductory essay sets the stage for revisiting suffrage by making explicit the similarities and differences in interpretations of suffrage and shows how the movement intersected with other events in American history and cannot be studied in isolation from them. This volume is essential reading for those interested in American politics and women's formal participation in it.
Experimental Field 312
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Boger, Susan M., PUBLISHER: iUniverse.com, It is four o'clock in the morning on March , when a meltdown began at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. As people sleep peacefully, unafraid of the smoking cement towers looming in the background, radioactive material is released into the environment and the Susquehanna River. Repeatedly reassured that they are not in any danger, most go on with their daily lives, including the residents of a rural town just a few miles away. But no one knows that Lloydsville is about to pay a hefty price for the sins of their nuclear neighbor. 30 years later, after an experimental popcorn crop is unintentionally irrigated with the radioactive river water, the corn mutates, wreaking havoc on Lloydsville. As two-headed frogs, fish with leg-like appendages, and aggressive insects invade the town with increasing frequency, the corn in Experimental Field 312 grows exceptionally large. Meanwhile Susan, a seasoned nurse, tries to shake off the feeling that something is terribly wrong. But as a bizarre chain of events unfolds, she realizes her intuition is spot on. In this science fiction tale, Susan and her family must find a way to kill the corn and bring an end to the nightmare--before it is too late for a tiny farm town and its people.
The Penelopiad: The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Atwood, Margaret, PUBLISHER: Canongate Books, The story of Penelope -- as told by herself. In The Odyssey, Penelope -- daughter of King Icarius of Sparta, and the cousin of the beautiful Helen of Troy -- is portrayed as the quintessential faithful wife. Atwood's dazzling retelling of the old myth is as haunting as it is wise and compassionate, as disturbing as it is entertaining. With incomparable wit and verve, she gives the story of Penelope new life and reality. "Homer's Odyssey is not the only version of the story. Mythic material was originally oral, and also local--a myth would be told one way in one place and quite differently in another. I have drawn on material other than The Odyssey, especially for the details of Penelope's parentage, her early life and marriage, and the scandalous rumours circulating about her. I've chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to her twelve hanged maids. The Maids form a chanting and singing Chorus which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of The Odyssey: what led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in The Odyssey doesn't hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. I've always been haunted by the hanged maids; and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself. --from Margaret Atwood's Introduction to The Penelopiad "From the Hardcover edition.

Cat Bearing Gifts: A Joe Grey Mystery
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Murphy, Shirley Rousseau, PUBLISHER: William Morrow & Company, In this poignant new entry in Shirley Rousseau Murphy's beloved, award-winning series, feline P.I. Joe Grey and his four-legged cohorts are plunged into a nightmarish mystery involving a series of strange events that endangers them and the humans they love The confusing events that early fall in Molena Point began perhaps with the return of Kate Osborne, the beguiling blond divorcee arriving in California richer than sin and with a story as strange as the melodies spun by a modern Pied Piper to mesmerize the unwary. Or maybe the strangeness started with the old faded photograph of a child from a half-century past, and the memories she awakened in the old yellow tomcat. Perhaps that was the beginning of the odd occurrences that stirred through the coastal village, setting the five cats off on new paths.... On the way home from visiting their friend Kate Osborne in San Francisco, tortoiseshell Kit and her elderly housemates, Lucinda and Pedric Greenlaw, are hurt in a terrible car crash on a winding coastal road. The accident is terrifying enough, but then two dangerous men steal the Greenlaws' town car, making off with a secret hoard of jewels and gold--a gift bestowed from Kate's newfound treasure--carefully hidden inside its doors. As paramedics rush the Greenlaws to the emergency room, a badly shaken Kit hides from hungry coyotes in the forested hills above the highway, waiting for Joe, Pan, and their human companions, Ryan and Clyde Damen, to rescue her. Back home in Molena Point, yellow tomcat Misto, discovering a faded photograph of a child living fifty years ago, becomes lost in his memories of that past century--while Joe Grey and his tabby lady prowl an abandoned stone cottage where they've discovered two rough-looking men hiding. The cats smell mildewed money, and soon smell human blood, too, and they wonder: Could these unsettling incidents be tied to the injury of the Greenlaws and to the theft of their car and treasure? Could they be, as well, part of the larger mystery involving the very source of the cats' magical powers? Misto and his unfailing memory might provide some answers, but his feline detective efforts are nearly derailed when Misto's son, Pan, the bold red tomcat, led on by the Greenlaws' exotic treasure and by his taste for adventure, drives a painful wedge between himself and Kit, just when their romance feels so filled with joy. But Kit is busy with other matters, too, as she follows the two housebreakers, one badly injured and the other eager to end his partner's misery, as they make off with more wealth than even they realize. Though the cats know more than the thieves about the unique items stolen, their investigation is still in trouble. Only slowly, and after two sudden murders, do they at last claw their way to the truth, examining more intently the source of the gold and jewels, understanding more clearly, as well, the secrets of the moldering treasury bills--the mystery of their source
Carnival of Souls
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Marr, Melissa, PUBLISHER: HarperCollins, In a city of daimons, rigid class lines separate the powerful from the power-hungry. And at the heart of The City is the Carnival of Souls, where both murder and pleasure are offered up for sale. Once in a generation, the carnival hosts a deadly competition that allows every daimon a chance to join the ruling elite. Without the competition, Aya and Kaleb would both face bleak futures--if for different reasons. For each of them, fighting to the death is the only way to try to live. All Mallory knows of The City is that her father--and every other witch there--fled it for a life in exile in the human world. Instead of a typical teenage life full of friends and maybe even a little romance, Mallory scans quiet streets for threats, hides herself away, and trains to be lethal. She knows it's only a matter of time until a daimon finds her and her father, so she readies herself for the inevitable. While Mallory possesses little knowledge of The City, every inhabitant of The City knows of her. There are plans for Mallory, and soon she, too, will be drawn into the decadence and danger that is the Carnival of Souls. From Melissa Marr, bestselling author of the Wicked Lovely series and "Graveminder," comes a brand-new tale of lush secrets, dark love, and the struggle to forge one's own destiny.
We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Warner, Judith, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, In her provocative new book, "New York Times"-bestselling author Judith Warner explores the storm of debate over whether we are overdiagnosing and overmedicating our children who have "issues." In "Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety," Judith Warner explained what's gone wrong with the culture of parenting, and her conclusions sparked a national debate on how women and society view motherhood. Her new book, "We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication," will generate the same kind of controversy, as she tackles a subject that's just as contentious and important: Are parents and physicians too quick to prescribe medi-cation to control our children's behavior? Are we using drugs to excuse inept parents who can't raise their children properly? What Warner discovered from the extensive research and interviewing she did for this book is that passion on both sides of the issue "is ideological and only tangentially about real children," and she cuts through the jargon and hysteria to delve into a topic that for millions of parents involves one of the most important decisions they'll ever make for their child. Insightful, compelling, and deeply mov-ing, "We've Got Issues" is for parents, doctors, and teachers-anyone who cares about the welfare of today's children.
Improving Hrd Practice
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gilley, Jerry W., PUBLISHER: Krieger Publishing Company, This series, edited by Michael W. Galbraith, explores issues and concerns of practitioners who work in the broad range of settings in adult and continuing education and human resource development. These books provide information and strategies on how to make practice more effective for professionals and those they serve. They are written from a practical viewpoint and provide a forum for instructors, administrators, policy makers, counselors, trainers, managers, program and organizational developers, instructional designers, and other related professionals. Far too many HRD (human resource development) professionals view learning as an end unto itself. As a result, all their efforts are focused toward the number of training programs delivered and the number of employees who participate in training. Little regard is given to the impacts and results of training activity. Over time, this approach does not improve the organization -- which seriously hurts the image and credibility of HRD. This book is designed to provide HRD professionals with a strategically integrated approach; one that helps them overcome the failures of the past while striking a new course for the future. The text provides a comprehensive look at the seven failures of today's HRD practice and provides realistic approaches to improving HRD within an organization. It would be an excellent text for a university course at the masters and doctorate level.

Jang
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stevens, Joseph B., PUBLISHER: Kiwe Publishing, Captain Terry Meyers' story of Vietnam survival and war time mysteries involves the small network of women in his life--all marking time throughout the particularly perilous shroud of 's wartime they all share in--and all too often, watching some of those whom they love, die in that shroud. Not just a story of bombings and war time intrigue, JANG is more a heartfelt story of how relationships within a circle are built, find reason to continue or founder-become altered, changed into some other form-and then continue on, headed out to meet the world, in some determinedly new way. More than any of the foregoing, however, this is a profound story of life renewing itself within seemingly insurmountable odds and Captain Terry Meyers' infinite wonder in coming to experience a young woman child named JANG. Only thirteen when first we meet her, Jang overcomes not only the rites of war, but also the rites of her own life's journeying. At length capturing a world in foment through the lens of her camera, creating pertinent meaning for those who love her (and also, those who will never meet her--) Jang's life ultimately transcends all of that tragic human wreckage threatening to engulf everyone she has come to love, even unto seemingly hopeless ends. An unforgettable read.
World Development Report : Equity and Development
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: World Bank Group, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, The World Development Report : Equity and Opportunity presents a social development strategy organized around the themes of social inclusion, cohesion, and accountability. It examines equality of opportunities--a potentially important factor affecting both the workings of the investment environment and the empowerment of the poor--by building on and extending existing accountability frameworks presented in the Report. The Report is divided into three parts. Part I describes patterns of inequality in a range of variables both at the national and global level-incomes, educational achievements, health indicators, power, and influence. Part II highlights reasons why some levels of inequality in the variables presented in Part I may be too high-whether for intrinsic reasons or because they harm the attainment of competing values, such as the level of goods and services in the economy. Part III discusses policies that affect the relationship between equity and the development process at a national and global level. This section includes policies that could help reduce the levels of some intermediate inequalities and focuses on circumstances in which these polices form the basis for more rapid overall development and faster poverty reduction. Now in its twenty-eighth edition, the World Development Report offers practical insights for policymakers, business developers, economic advisers, researchers, and professionals in the media and in non-governmental organizations. It is also an essential supplement to economic and development courses in both academic and professional settings.

Genesis: A Portrait of a Spinal Cord Injury
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thompson, Stephen, PUBLISHER: Sunstone Press, No long after Indiana University had won the NCAA championship in , a young man of twenty was hurriedly riding his bicycle in order to make it on time for a tennis tournament. He had plans for returning to the game after having been sidetracked with the "college life". Although he expected to attend graduate school, he was hoping to play professional tennis one day. He never made it to that tournament. A head-on collision with an automobile had crushed his dreams and also his neck, resulting in a cervical spinal cord injury. As he lay in the intensive care unit unable to move, he listened to music on his Walkman to distract him from his terrible predicament. His favorite tape, "The Lamb" by Genesis, seemed to help keep his attitude positive and hopeful. The following months are torturous and frustrating and he prays for a miracle; near-death experiences that seem too mysterious to comprehend show him that there is life beyond human existence. Then, after finally making it to the rehabilitation unit, he meets other young men in similar situations and they all struggle together to increase their functional abilities. In this rare and candid memoir, Stephen Thompson shares his many tribulations as he experiences new beginnings, both physical and spiritual, and strives for the ultimate goal of any spinal cord injury victim: to walk again.

Unintended Consequences: Why Everything You've Been Told
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Conard, Edward, PUBLISHER: Portfolio, In the aftermath of the Financial Crisis, many commonly held beliefs have emerged to explain its cause. Conventional wisdom blames Wall Street and the mortgage industry for using low down payments, teaser rates, and other predatory tactics to seduce unsuspecting home owners into assuming mortgages they couldn't afford. It blames average Americans for borrowing recklessly and spending too much. And it blames the tax policies and deregulatory environment of the Reagan and Bush administrations for encouraging reckless risk-taking by wealthy individuals and financial institutions. But according to "Unintended Consequences," the conventional wisdom masks the real causes of our economic disruption and puts us at risk of facing a slew of unintended--and potentially dangerous--consequences. "Unintended Consequences" is not a book that takes a couple of insights and expands them into 300 pages; rather, it covers the entire scope of the economy. It's a fascinating and contrarian case for how the economy "really" works, what went wrong over the past decade, and what steps we can take to start growing again. Whether you agree with the book's provocative and counterintuitive conclusions or not, "Unintended Consequences" will reward you with a sophisticated understanding of the contemporary economy, one no other book has yet provided.

The ultimate Highland warlord and a swordsman without equal, Tor MacLeod has no intention of being drawn into Scotland's war against the English. Dedicated to his clan, the fiercely independent chief answers to no one--especially not to his alluring new bride, bartered to him in a bid to secure his command of the deadliest fighting force the world has ever seen. The treacherous chit who made her way to Tor's bed may have won his hand, but she will never claim his heart. Although her husband's reputation is as fierce as his manner, Christina Fraser believes that something softer hides beneath his brutal shell. But the only warmth she feels is in their bed, in glorious moments of white-hot desire that disappear with the dawn. When Christina's reckless bid to win her husband's love goes awry and thrusts them into danger on the eve of war, Tor will face his ultimate battle: to save his wife and to open his heart--before it's too late.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Seeley, Larry, PUBLISHER: Eloquent Books, Jack Sloan played his cards right, took the money and ran. Only now it seems he may not have run far enough. Set in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this riveting novel is a story of murder and revenge, with a cast of characters that drive the plot forward, until the climactic end. In search of a peaceful life on a 26-acre ranch in the mountains, Jack instead finds himself embroiled in a con that may leave him and those he cares for most with a loss far greater than money. The action and intrigue grows as Jack wrestles with a ruthless assortment of bunko artists like Mattie Helms, who is beautiful, intelligent, and unscrupulous; and her goon, Irvin MacSwain: a psychotic, drug-using alcoholic killer who enjoys his work far too much. As Jack tries to reconcile his own killer instincts with his new life, betrayal and murder wait for him and his friends at every turn-but will the actions of one man help save the good guys in the end?
