Childhood Stories and Perspectives

A Memoir

By: William L. Alston

Walter and Julia Alston were two parents with two different upbringings—one was from a family of means, and the other was from a family with very little. One was about trying to have success and wealth, and the other was about having nothing, spending and splurging and wasting more than could be grasped. Both Walter and his spouse, Julia, had major flaws. Both were all about him and herself. They had no plans to effectively share between themselves or among their ten children. They were all in it for themselves and not for each other and certainly not for their offspring. Despite their selfishness, they left their children with more than they realized; they left their children a treasure trove of stories—stories that were handed down through several generations from their parents and their parents’ parents. For generations, this had transpired by word of mouth that revealed family history, culture, entertainment, and family accomplishments. These stories brought pride, pleasure, and a sense of direction and well-being to the Alston family. These stories brought assured tangibles that would encourage, empower, teach, and would point the way forward.

Roald Dahl

By: Ann Alston,Catherine Butler

Roald Dahl is one of the world's best-loved authors. More than twenty years after his death, his books are still highly popular with children and have inspired numerous feature films – yet he remains a controversial figure. This volume, the first collection of academic essays ever to be devoted to Dahl's work, brings together a team of well-known scholars of children's literature to explore the man, his books for children, and his complex attitudes towards various key subjects. Including essays on education, crime, Dahl's humour, his long-term collaboration with the artist Quentin Blake, and film adaptations, this fascinating collection offers a unique insight into the writer and his world.

All Things Well: Helping Youth Discover Their Open Door

By: Dr. Clarence Alston

A disproportional percentage of children from identified subgroups in America demonstrate substandard academic performance in our public schools. Some educators, psychologists and even sociologists attribute this discrepancy to inherently deficient intellectual ability, exasperated by poverty and disinterest , This book challenges modern- day Christians particularly-- to question the Biblical legitimacy and morality of this phenomenon. Is such a glaring discrepancy acceptable in America when we advocate that “...God is no respecter of persons ...”and” ,,, he has done All Things Well. If this is indeed a spiritual matter then perhaps Christians need to be more vocal or more engaged in the conversation . We must help each child see the door that God has set before them.

Social Work and Disasters

A Handbook for Practice

By: Margaret Alston,Tricia Hazeleger,Desley Hargreaves

Disasters are increasing in frequency and intensity across the world, causing significant destruction to individuals and communities. Yet many social workers are ill-prepared for the demands of this field of practice. This book discusses the role of social workers in disaster work, including in disaster-preparedness, during the disaster and in post-disaster practice. It addresses the complexities of social work disaster practice, noting the need for social workers to understand the language of trauma and to respond effectively. The authors discuss disaster theory and practice, drawing out elements of practice at macro-, meso- and micro-levels and at various stages of the disaster. They examine the factors that shape vulnerability in disasters and draw out the possibility of post-traumatic growth. The final section discusses strategies for self-care in disaster practice, noting the organisational and personal strategies that can be adopted to facilitate the wellbeing of workers in the field. With real-life case studies from top scholars in the field, this book is essential reading for social work practitioners working in the field of disaster practice, as well as social work students and academics. It will also be useful to other health professionals who wish to understand this field of practice.

By: Alston Chase

In a Dark Wood

A Critical History of the Fight Over Forests

By: Alston Chase

In a Dark Wood presents a history of debates among ecologists over what constitutes good forestry, and a critique of the ecological reasoning behind contemporary strategies of preservation, including the Endangered Species Act. Chase argues that these strategies, in many instances adopted for political, rather than scientific reasons, fail to promote biological diversity and may actually harm more creatures than they help. At the same time, Chase offers examples of conservation strategies that work, but which are deemed politically incorrect and ignored. In a Dark Wood provides the most thoughtful and complete account yet written of radical environmentalism. And it challenges the fundamental—but largely unexamined—assumptions of preservationism, such as those concerning whether there is a "balance of nature," whether all branches of ecology are really science, and whether ecosystems exist. In his new introduction, Chase evaluates the response to his book and reports on recent developments in environmental science, policy, and politics. In a Dark Wood was judged by a recent national poll to be one of the one hundred best nonfiction books written in the English language during the twentieth century. A smashing good read, this book will be of interest to environmentalists, ecologists, philosophers, biologists, and bio-ethicists, and anyone concerned about ecological issues.

A Call for Greatness

A Strokes, Heart-Attacks, and Homelessness Memoir

By: Garrett Alston

This book was written as a memoir about what Garrett Alston, PS winner, went through during a very trying time of strokes and heart-attacks protocol. It shows the ups and downs and the challenges he experienced and overcame by having a not-giving-up and refuse-to-lose mentality. He was in the hospital for months and then was homeless, living in his black Mamba jeep Wrangler Unlimited he affectionately called PersyGT (perserverance and good trouble). He did this while still in stroke protocol. He does not wish this on anyone but is aware that with this worldwide pandemic, a lot of people are facing challenges, of no fault of their own, and are experiencing loss of job, house, and car. He says, “Don’t give up. Don’t you ever give up.” (Thank you, Jim Valvano, his championship coach). You do not have that luxury. Too many people need your unique life input. He also met the love of his life on Facebook (Charlie Salibay) while homeless. God can turn bad into good, given the chance. They named it A Call for Greatness because the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had these quotes: Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great because greatness is determined by service... You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love. Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. These quotes were researched and found on the quotes page he keeps and grows. These quotes are their motivation for the title of the book because they both have a heart for servitude, and like what Sean Combs said, “Do not speak about it. Be about it.” They take that very seriously and offer various tips on a variety of subjects throughout the book based on experience learned, knowledge, and good old common sense. Happy reading and God bless all!

Why Do I Find Myself in These Situations?

By: Harold Alston

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Why Do I Find Myself in These Situations?

By: Harold Alston

Why Do I Find Myself in These Situations? was chosen because of many unique situations during fifty-five years of flying military and civilian aircraft. All are specific that are unique to this pilot. Many are specific that have not been experienced by other pilots and hopefully will not be experienced on their flights. Heavenly guidance was certainly present in several of these experiences that guided responses, subtly prompted actions, and allowed a very experienced pilot to respond beyond normal human abilities. After each individual story, the title question could be asked, but you will enjoy that it was not you who had to deal with the same situations. Enjoy!

A Realist Conception of Truth

By: William P. Alston

One of the most important Anglo-American philosophers of our time here joins the current philosophical debate about the nature of truth. William P. Alston formulates and defends a realist conception of truth, which he calls alethic realism (from "aletheia," Greek for truth). This idea holds that the truth value of a statement (belief or proposition) depends on whether what the statement is about is as the statement says it is. Michael Dummett and Hilary Putnam are two of the prominent and widely influential contemporary philosophers whose anti-realist ideas Alston attacks.

By: William P. Alston

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Perceiving God

The Epistemology of Religious Experience

By: William P. Alston

In Perceiving God, William P. Alston offers a clear and provocative account of the epistemology of religious experience. He argues that the "perception of God"—his term for direct experiential awareness of God—makes a major contribution to the grounds of religious belief. Surveying the variety of reported direct experiences of God among laypersons and famous mystics, Alston demonstrates that a person can be justified in holding certain beliefs about God on the basis of mystical experience. Through the perception that God is sustaining one in being, for example, one can justifiably believe that God is indeed sustaining one in being. Alston offers a detailed discussion of our grounds for taking sense perception and other sources of belief—including introspection, memory, and mystical experience—to be reliable and to confer justification. He then uses this epistemic framework to explain how our perceptual beliefs about God can be justified. Alston carefully addresses objections to his chief claims, including problems posed by non-Christian religious traditions. He also examines the way in which mystical perception fits into the larger picture of grounds for religious belief. Suggesting that religious experience, rather than being a purely subjective phenomenon, has real cognitive value, Perceiving God will spark intense debate and will be indispensable reading for those interested in philosophy of religion, epistemology, and philosophy of mind, as well as for theologians.

The Scientific Case Against Scientific Creationism

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Scientific Case Against Scientific Creationism

By: Jon P. Alston

Sociologist Jon P. Alston offers a unique and clear analysis of the weaknesses of scientific creationism and intelligent design by identifying what creationists say when they reject evidence for evolution. He demonstrates how scientific creationists accept non-scientific statements that contradict established scientific knowledge. Acceptance of anti-evolutionary knowledge also demands acceptance of a literal six-day creation and other statements contradicting scientific findings. Few persons have read so closely the writings of scientific creationists to illustrate how anti-scientific anti-evolutionists become when they criticize the fact of evolution. Creationists are forced to develop "just-so" stories to defend their literal interpretations of Biblical scripture. Alston finds creationists cannot defend their religious beliefs using established scientific methodologies and principles.

Developing a Residency Program

A Practical Guide for Librarians

By: Lorelei Rutledge,Jay L. Colbert,Anastasia Chiu,Jason Alston

Library residency programs can be a great opportunity for early-career librarians to learn on-the-job-skills, determine their interests in librarianship, and develop a valuable career network. Likewise, such programs benefit the profession, the hosting organizations, and other organizational stakeholders. Developing a Residency Program: A Practical Guide for Librarians draws together scholarly literature, best practices, and the experiences of the authors and their contributors to provide practical advice about how to develop and manage a library residency program. The first two chapters of this book offer a brief overview of library residency programs and illustrate the benefits that such programs can provide. Chapters 3 describes strategies for building support for such a program, while Chapters 4 and 5 provide insight on best practices for structuring a residency program. Chapter 6 focuses on the recruitment and hiring process, emphasizing the need for a reasoned and objective approach to selecting a candidate. Chapters 7 and 8 offer best practices for preparing for new resident’s arrival and onboarding the resident successfully. Chapter 9 offers ideas for how to assess and evaluate multiple aspects of the residency program, while Chapter 10 focuses on supporting the resident after the residency is over. In each chapter, the authors include practical tips and tools to make each part of the planning and management process easier.
