No Going Back

By: Norah Griggs,Barbara Paulson

In Omaha, Nebraska, the year 1900, the world revolves around Henry Taylor. No Going Back follows him on his mission to reclaim what (he considers) is rightfully his. He believes his wife, Rachel, ran off to Nevada with a gambling man, and he believes his twelve-year-old daughter, Tess, ran away four days later to find them. In Cheyenne, Wyoming he meets up with silver-tongued Joshua Baker, a minister who befriends, counsels and then swindles him. The story also follows Rachel and Tess as they each face agonizing hardships but also find true integrity in others. For Rachel, it's in Janey Walker, a wise and gracious woman in her fifties. For Tess, it's the Coles, a family full of love and spirit. Day by day, mother and daughter subconsciously experience each other's emotions, keeping them close at heart until they find their way back to each other. With unexpected twists and turns, this book flows with happenstance and circumstance. It explores Native American life from a distinct perspective. It looks at organized religion, from the practical and honorable to the misuse and disgrace than can occur within it. These issues, which are just as pertinent in our world today, are put forward in this era often misconstrued as naïve and sometimes even archaic. "A woman walks out on her husband to find a new life for herself and her daughter. Well written.a page turner." -Kirkus Discoveries

“The Golden Cobweb”

The Exotic Journey of an Englishman Who Became Genealogist for the Thai Royal Family

By: Barbara Schofield Suleiman

This is a memoir about two cousins who started to exchange letters when one cousin, Beatrice, left for the States. They had grown up in an extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins in the north of England. Set initially in the fifties, sixties, and seventies, their lives were closely entwined. Cousin Jeffrey had, at a very early age, become enamoured with the theatre of ritual so richly displayed by the royals. As such he became a highly skilled genealogist focusing on the royal families of Europe and then the FarEast. He was eventually chosen as Genealogist for the Thai Royal Family.

The Health Impact of Smoking and Obesity and What to Do About It

By: Hans Krueger,Dan Williams,Barbara Kaminsky,David McLean

Despite significant progress due to public health campaigns and other policy efforts, smoking continues to be a serious health threat throughout the world. In addition, sedentary lifestyles, poor diet, and obesity continue to be major causes of chronic diseases. The Health Impact of Smoking and Obesity and What to Do about It synthesizes a vast quantity of recent data on the benefits and cost-effectiveness of both clinical and public health interventions in addressing the risk factors of smoking and obesity. A large proportion of chronic disease is preventable. The Health Impact of Smoking and Obesity and What to Do about It provides solid evidence and practical advice to health care planners, decision-makers, and frontline providers alike. The volume discusses various approaches to measuring disease burden and setting health care targets, and provides a summary of interventions of proven effectiveness. Taking into account the vital lessons learned from the experience of tobacco control over forty years, and focusing on the current state of the evidence for obesity control, the study stresses the importance of comprehensive strategies that deal with both individual behaviour changes and the need to encourage social contexts that enhance healthy choices and lifestyles.

India Working

Essays on Society and Economy

By: Barbara Harriss-White

By drawing on her extensive fieldwork in India and on the adjacent theoretical literature, Barbara Harriss-White describes the working of the Indian economy through its most important social structures of accumulation. Successive chapters explore a range of topics including labour, capital, the state, gender, religious plurality, caste and space. Despite the complexity of the subject, the book is vivid and compelling. The author's intimate knowledge of the country enables the reader to experience the Indian local scene and to engage with the precariousness of daily life. Her conclusion challenges the prevailing notion that liberalisation releases the economy from political interference and leads to a postscript on the economic base for fascism in India. This is an intelligent book, first published in 2002, by a distinguished scholar, for students of economics, as well as for those studying the region.

Veda and Torah

Transcending the Textuality of Scripture

By: Barbara A. Holdrege

In this book, Barbara Holdrege has set a high standard for comparative work and has made an important contribution to both Hindu and Jewish studies. She has looked at Veda and Torah not simply as 'scripture, ' but as systems of meaning, symbol systems, each with its own affiliated meanings, each with its symbolic context, and each with its history of interpretation.

Our Story

The True Life Narrative of God’S Plan for Us

By: Barbara Merz,Glenn Merz

Do you know why you were put on the face of this earth? Only God has an answer to that question. The nice thing about being in your twilight years is that you can look back and see what real life can hand you. This is the story of two couples from two different walks of life with different family and professional backgrounds who found out that what you dream and plan may not always turn out the way you expected. This book highlights two special individuals: Vernon Rosser of Nashville, Tennessee, and Joyce Merz, who lived about seventy-five miles away in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Neither one knew the other; however, both of them had contracted an incurable lung disease known as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This was a viral infection of the lungs without any known cause or cure. These two taught their spouses and those around them a lesson that changed the lives of many.

Perfecting Women

Maulana Ashraf ʻAlī Thanawi's Bihishti Zewar : a Partial Translation with Commentary

By: Ashraf ʻAlī Thānvī,Barbara Daly Metcalf

Challenging conventional notions about the place of women in Muslim societies, the Bihishti Zewar (Heavenly Ornaments) gives life to the themes of religious and social reform that have too often been treated in the abstract. This instructional guidebook, used by the world's largest population of Muslims, is a vital source for those interested in modern Indian social and intellectual history, in Islamic reform, and in conceptions of gender and women's roles. The Bihishti Zewar was written in northern India in the early 1900s by a revered Muslim scholar and spiritual guide, Maulana Ashraf 'Ali Thanawi (1864-1943), to instruct Muslim girls and women in religious teachings, proper behavior, and prudent conduct of their everyday lives. In so doing, it sets out the core of a reformist version of Islam that has become increasingly prominent across Muslim societies during the past hundred years. Throughout the work, nothing is more striking than the extent to which the book takes women and men as essentially the same, in contrast to European works directed toward women at this time. Its rich descriptions of the everyday life of the relatively privileged classes in turn-of-the-century north India provide information on issues of personality formation as well as on family life, social relations, household management, and encounters with new institutions and inventions. Barbara Metcalf has carefully selected those sections of the Bihishti Zewar that best illustrate the themes of reformist thought about God, the person, society, and gender. She provides a substantial introduction to the text and to each section, as well as detailed annotations.

Making Schools Work

New Evidence on Accountability Reforms

By: Barbara Bruns,Deon Filmer,Harry Anthony Patrinos

This book is about the threats to education quality in the developing world that cannot be explained by lack of resources. It reviews the observed phenomenon of service delivery failures in public education: cases where programs and policies increase the inputs to education but do not produce effective services where it counts - in schools and classrooms. It documents what we know about the extent and costs of such failures across low and middle-income countries. And it further develops the conceptual model posited in the World Development Report 2004: that a root cause of low-quality and inequitable public services - not only in education - is the weak accountability of providers to both their supervisors and clients.The central focus of the book, however, is a new story. It is that developing countries are increasingly adopting innovative strategies to attack these problems. Drawing on new evidence from 22 rigorous impact evaluations across 11 developing countries, this book examines how three key strategies to strengthen accountability relationships in developing country school systems have affected school enrollment, completion and student learning. The book reviews the motivation and global context for education reforms aimed at strengthening provider accountability. It provides the rationally and synthesizes the evidence on the impacts of three key lines of reform: (1) policies that use the power of information to strengthen the ability of clients of education services (students and their parents) to hold providers accountable for results; (2) policies that promote school-based management?that is increase schools? autonomy to make key decisions and control resources, often empowering parents to play a larger role; (3) teacher incentives reforms that specifically aim at making teachers more accountable for results, either by making contract tenure dependent on performance, or offering performance-linked pay. The book summarizes the lessons learned, draws cautious conclusions about possible complementarities across different types of accountability-focused reforms if they are implemented in tandem, considers issues related to scaling up reform efforts and the political economy of reform, and suggests directions for future work.

The Story of Life,Love and Faith

By: Barbara Ann Campbell

Have you ever noticed how the word ambulance is written backwards on the front of the emergency vehicle? The reason is so that when you sit in your car and look behind you in your mirror you can read it and know that help and hope is on the way for some one who is hurting or in need of help. In life sometimes as we sit and look behind us we can see many things unfold that have happened. As Barbara Ann sat and thought about the events that have happened in her life she realized how many things she experienced, some tragic, some sad, many happy, and some can only be explained by just two words, faith and miracles. The same way that an ambulance is a sign of help on the way, the story in this book is bringing help and hope for many people. Not just hurting people, or people with no hope, but people who have questions about where and how to find peace, or people who just need encouragement. Barbara Ann has shared her life story in hundreds of churches and meetings, across this country. The people laugh and they cry through out the story, but they always get encouraged, and come away with a new and uplifted view of life. It is a story about her life, and events in it, her love expressed in the family, and her faith tested to the limits. The one Goal she has with this book is to let people know that God is good, all the time.

A Haunting at Ocean Winds

By: Barbara Pleasant

Parker and Claire’s dream was to open a bed and breakfast on the beach in South Carolina. They stood holding their three-year-old son Mattie’s hand outside a large empty house sitting high on the dunes overlooking the beach. “Perfect,” Claire thought. The sale sign said four bedrooms upstairs, and two down. Nothing had been done to the house in several years, and it was in bad need of restoration to bring it up to date. However, this was not what the five resident ghosts wanted who lived in the house. They wanted their home to stay just the way it was when they were alive; and bound and determined that it would, they did everything they could think of to run the new owners out.

The Legend of Sergius Baḥīrā

Eastern Christian Apologetics and Apocalyptic in Response to Islam

By: Barbara Roggema

From the eighth century onwards, Christians living under Islam have produced numerous apologetic and polemical works, aimed at proving the continuing validity of Christianity. Among these is the Legend of Sergius Baḥīrā, which survives in two Syriac and two Arabic versions, and appears here in edition and translation. Being a counterhistory of Islam, it reshapes early Muslim traditions about a monk recognizing Muḥammad as the final Prophet by turning this monk into Muhammad’s tutor and co-author of the Qur’an. In response to Muslim triumphalist propaganda, it portrays Islam’s political power as predestined but finite and unrelated to its religious message. This feature sets the legend apart from similar Christian accounts of the origin of Islam, East and West, which are reviewed in this study as well.
