British Sculpture and the Company Raj

Church Monuments and Public Statuary in Madras, Calcutta, and Bombay to 1858

By: Barbara S. Groseclose

The British Raj (a Sanskrit-based word meaning dominion or empire), which has taken on a wholly Victorian flavor as a result of popular films and books, actually began in piecemeal fashion when the East India Company developed settlements in Madras, Calcutta, and Bombay during the seventeenth century. As these small enclaves grew into cities, the British tried hard to give them the look and feel of the country they had left behind." "Barbara Groseclose examines British public statuary and church monuments in India from the standpoint of its function in regard to the British themselves. Arguing that doubts and anxieties, as well as assumptions about their own place in Indian life, bear strongly on the roles and achievements for which the British sought or received commemoration, she analyzes the British self-characterizations of victor, administrator, scholar, and benefactor in sculptural imagery. Her close scrutiny of these largely forgotten works of art reveals the crucial part they played in helping the British to explain and justify empire to themselves. But the author's sense of the inherently ambivalent nature of the colonizer/colonized relationship prevents this book from becoming simply a platform for the indictment of imperialists or for an insistence on the wholesale victimization of their subjects. Rather, Groseclose discerns in this art some of the complicated emotional undertones simultaneously shaping and destabilizing the attempted economic and intellectual domination of India."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Medicalisation of Everyday Life

A Critical Perspective

By: Barbara Fawcett,Zita Weber,Helen Bannister

This is timely new book examines the generally accepted understanding of the theory and practice of mental health. Drawing on historical and contemporary practices, it critically explores the concept of mental illness and how it is treated, the integration of health and social care, and providing a person-centred approach. As well as tackling more general aspects, such as how we categorise mental health and the contemporary practice around medication and treatment alternatives, it also focusses on specific areas currently labelled 'mental illness', including depression, anxiety, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). Final chapters address the evidence for the effectiveness of psychopharmacology and the place of placebos in research and treatment, the importance of cultural sensitivity in a globalised world and the possibilities for the future practice in mental health services. The importance of non-medical alternative therapies and the incorporation of consumer perspectives in mental health service practice are highlighted throughout as a means of strengthening the experience of mental health service delivery for mental health professionals and consumers. Whether a student on a mental health nursing course, a social work student focussing on mental health, or a practitioner in the medical and allied health professions, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants a greater understanding of the theory and practice of mental health.

Writing Development in Children with Hearing Loss, Dyslexia, or Oral Language Problems

Implications for Assessment and Instruction

By: Barbara Arfe PhD,Julie Dockrell EdD,Virginia Berninger PhD

Writing is challenging for the majority of learners. For students with language problems, difficulties with written expression are considered one of the most common learning challenges. There is much to learn about the ways in which oral language skills impact on the acquisition of written language in children. Writing Development in Children with Hearing Loss, Dyslexia, or Oral Language Problems focuses on the nature of the writing problems experienced by children with oral language problems. Three clinical groups are considered: children with hearing loss, oral language difficulties, and dyslexia. Each contribution comes from an expert or team of experts in these three areas and in the field of language and writing. The volume provides current understandings to help guide and support practitioners and researchers alike. It provides timely information across languages and countries, enhancing our understanding of the links between oral language and written language across languages.

Slaying the Dragons

21St Century Literacy

By: Barbara Frandsen

We know that those fearsome, fire-breathing creatures known as dragons do not truly exist. Yet, in the world of literacy instruction, teachers often feel as though they are battling equally severe and frightening conditions that hinder literacy success. The dragons in the book serve as analogies for dyslexia problems, which often cause stumbling blocks to literacy mastery. Descriptions and ways to differentiate remediation for four types of dyslexia provide insights for veteran teachers as well as novices. SLAYING THE DRAGONS provides practical, down-to-earth information about researched and proven literacy instruction by using a delivery that is both succinct and thorough. In addition to each of the five essential components of reading identified by the National Reading Counsel, other complementary topics result in a combination of tried and true strategies along with new possibilities for 21st century literacy instruction. Slaying the Dragons: 21st Century Literacy considers several causes of literacy failure. Modifications for ELL students, gifted and talented and other exceptionalities show up adjacent to strategies. In addition, technology modifications offer methods of differentiating. Through a source in the text, teachers gain an opportunity to create their own adapted materials. The text format for SLAYING THE DRAGONS accommodates a readers eyes by providing short lines of print, bold text to indicate important vocabulary words and bullets to signify steps or sequence. An electronic option is provided for readers who prefer that system. This reader-friendly collection includes many items not commonly found such as Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, eye tracking, print size, overlays, and candid reasons for literacy failure. SLAYING THE DRAGONS will be an asset for teachers and parents seeking to increase expertise required to promote literacy success for all children.

The Minsk Ghetto 1941-1943

Jewish Resistance and Soviet Internationalism

By: Barbara Epstein

Drawing from engrossing survivors' accounts, many never before published, The Minsk Ghetto 1941-1943 recounts a heroic yet little-known chapter in Holocaust history. In vivid and moving detail, Barbara Epstein chronicles the history of a Communist-led resistance movement inside the Minsk ghetto, which, through its links to its Belarussian counterpart outside the ghetto and with help from others, enabled thousands of ghetto Jews to flee to the surrounding forests where they joined partisan units fighting the Germans. Telling a story that stands in stark contrast to what transpired across much of Eastern Europe, where Jews found few reliable allies in the face of the Nazi threat, this book captures the texture of life inside and outside the Minsk ghetto, evoking the harsh conditions, the life-threatening situations, and the friendships that helped many escape almost certain death. Epstein also explores how and why this resistance movement, unlike better known movements at places like Warsaw, Vilna, and Kovno, was able to rely on collaboration with those outside ghetto walls. She finds that an internationalist ethos fostered by two decades of Soviet rule, in addition to other factors, made this extraordinary story possible.

Animal Models for the Study of Human Disease

Chapter 3. The Advent of the Golden Era of Animal Alternatives

By: Daniel Butzke,Barbara Grune,Josephine Kugler,Michael Oelgeschläger,Andrea Seiler,Dana Sittner,Manfred Liebsch,Andreas Luch

The first years of the 21st century have seen an unparalleled progress in biomedical sciences. Several dogmata that haunted scientific debate for decades were easily abandoned, and there is a fundamental shift away from eminence-based toward evidence-based assessment of preclinical models, probing their true value in predicting clinical outcomes of human diseases. Likewise, several new approaches, e.g., stem cell-based, diseases-in-a-dish and organs-on-a-chip and lab-on-a-chip technologies have revitalized the domain of alternatives to animal experimentation. In our review, we portray these and other efforts to bring forth relevant and ethically inoffensive models of human diseases.

I Always Knew

A Memoir

By: Barbara Chase-Riboud

The extraordinary life story of the celebrated artist and writer, as told through four decades of intimate letters to her beloved mother Barbara Chase-Riboud has led a remarkable life. After graduating from Yale’s School of Design and Architecture, she moved to Europe and spent decades traveling the world and living at the center of artistic, literary, and political circles. She became a renowned artist whose work is now in museum collections around the world. Later, she also became an award-winning poet and bestselling novelist. And along the way, she met many luminaries—from Henri Cartier-Bresson, Salvador Dalí, Alexander Calder, James Baldwin, and Mao Zedong to Toni Morrison, Pierre Cardin, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Josephine Baker. I Always Knew is an intimate and vivid portrait of Chase-Riboud’s life as told through the letters she wrote to her mother, Vivian Mae, between 1957 and 1991. In candid detail, Chase-Riboud tells her mother about her life in Europe, her work as an artist, her romances, and her journeys around the world, from Western and Eastern Europe to the Middle East, Africa, the Soviet Union, China, and Mongolia. By turns brilliant and naïve, passionate and tender, poignant and funny, these letters show Chase-Riboud in the process of becoming who she is and who she might become. But what emerges most of all is the powerful story of a unique and remarkable relationship between a talented, ambitious, and courageous daughter and her adored mother.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

His Name Was John

The Life Story of an Early Mennonite Leader

By: Barbara F. Coffman

Does the age produce the man, or does the man produce the age? It can be argued both ways. John S. Coffman, Mennonite evangelist, writer, and organizer, was born at a time when his church, long the quiet in the land, needed leaders to show the way to a more vital spiritual life and a more effective Christian witness in the world. Into this vacuum of need came this dynamic man, with just exactly the qualities of character and the spiritual and natural gifts to accomplish this task. Although he died young, his years were sufficient to make a powerful impression on the church of his fathers, the church he loved and for which he poured out his life. A granddaughter has immersed herself for a number of years in the life and work and influence of this great man. She has heard the recollections of her father, S.F. Coffman, who walked in the footsteps of his father to become also a great church leader. She accumulated the reminiscences of other members of the family and of older people who knew her subject intimately. She found many primary sources of information, such as files of old letters and her grandfather's diaries. She spent time in both Virginia and Indiana to absorb atmosphere and setting for a competent biography. The author chose to use a semi fictional form for her story. All quotes from letters and diaries are verbatim. Conversation is constructed from this factual background, using a good deal of the colloquial style which she knows the principals of the story used. The result is a biography which is not only an accurate portrayal, but is also interesting reading.

The Opioid Fix

America's Addiction Crisis and the Solution They Don't Want You to Have

The author blames part of the US opioid crisis on policy that espouses abstinence-focused treatment for people addicted to opioids. The author tells the stories of people in recovery and argues that medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, needs to be available to anyone suffering from opioid abuse. The interrelated barriers to MAT-from physicians who won't prescribe it, to drug courts that mandate counseling (and counselors who deride it), to politicians who ban it-demonstrate ill-advised narrow-mindedness in the author's view"--

This House of Noble Deeds

The Mount Sinai Hospital, 1852-2002

By: Arthur H. Aufses, Jr.,Barbara Niss

Celebrates the medical achievements and pays homage to the history of New York's mount Sinai Hospital system On January 15, 1852, nine men representing various Hebrew charitable organizations came together to establish the Jews' Hospital in New York with a vision of offering free medical care to the indigent Hebrews in the City who were unable to provide for themselves during their illness. This was the beginning of The Mount Sinai Hospital. Now, a century and a half later, This House of Noble Deeds celebrates the scientific and medical achievements of The Mount Sinai Hospital. From its original 45-bed building, the Mount Sinai Medical Center has developed into a state-of-the-art facility comprising a 1200-bed hospital, a major medical school, and a research enterprise with a faculty of almost 3000. Arthur H. Aufses, Jr. and Barbara J. Niss have identified and documented the most important scientific contributions of Mount Sinai over the past 150 years. They present histories of each major department and division, rich with anecdotes, biographical sketches, and photographs. In addition, they share the fascinating story of the hospital's creation and development, a story that ultimately transcends the parameters of the hospital itself and speaks to the broader matter of Jewish and medical history in New York.

Advanced Practice Nursing Ethics in Chronic Disease Self-Management

By: Barbara K. Redman, PhD, RN, FAAN

Named a 2013 Doody's Core Title! The trend toward patient self-management (PSM) of chronic disease is accelerating at a rapid pace along with the evolution of home-based or mobile technologies to support this care. Yet the development of self-management practice standards and advanced practice nursing support has been haphazard. This book fills a glaring void by addressing, against a backdrop of current best practices in PSM, such questions as: What are appropriate standards of safety in PSM? How can we be assured those standards are met? How does one reach a good prognosis about whether or not patients will be able to practice PSM? What level of effectiveness and efficiency should PSM reach to be considered a good policy option? Grounded in a clear ethical practice framework for PSM regimens, the text discusses PSM of the major chronic diseases along with best practice intervention strategies. The text maps out the implementation of the PSM framework for both patient and institution, supported by numerous case examples. Also addressed are PSM challenges to Advanced Practice Nursing, three ethically valid assessment tools, and relevant health policy concerns. Offering study questions and answers, the text is designed for course adoption and as a resource at MSN, DNP, and PhD levels Key Features: Presents clear ethical practice framework for PSM regimens Explores PSM in the major chronic diseases along with case studies Discusses PSM challenges to Advanced Practice Nursing Provides three ethically valid assessment tools Useful for course adoption and a resource at MSN, DNP, and PhD levels

Students tend to write in response to literature; whereas, the focus of this resource is to help students write material, fiction and non-fiction, that they want to read. Students often engage in writing that is more about pleasing the teacher or ticking a homework or assignment box. This book challenges many assumptions with reference to traditional models for teaching writing. A rich assortment of engaging examples are presented in this book to prompt educators to adapt and construct their own meaningful writing units of study

Put Old on Hold

By: Barbara Morris

Barbara Morris distils her own experience and her daily contact with seniors into an easy-to-follow program to minimise and reverse the negative aspects of ageing. Her recommendations for optimum nutrition, exercise, and mental stimulation can halt, and even reverse, the onset of old age. The adverse effects of negative thinking about ageing are explained, and strategies for combating these self-defeating attitudes are outlined in detail. Tests to determine biological age give readers a sense of how young they are now and what needs to be done to set and achieve their goals.

Black, White Or Mixed Race?

Race and Racism in the Lives of Young People of Mixed Parentage

By: Ann Phoenix,Barbara Tizard

The number of people in racially mixed relationships has grown steadily over the last thirty years, yet these people often feel stigmatised and unhappy about their identities. The first edition of Black, White or Mixed Race? was a ground-breaking study: this revised edition uses new literature to consider what is now known about racialised identities and changes in the official use of 'mixed' categories. All new developments are placed in a historical framework and in the context of up-to-date literature on mixed parentage in Britain and the USA. Based on research with young people from a range of social backgrounds the book examines their attitudes to black and white people; their identity; their cultural origins; their friendships; their experiences of racism. This was the first study to concentrate on adolescents of black and white parentage and it continues to provide unique insights into their identities. It is a valuable resource for all those concerned with social work and policy.

And One More Makes Five

By: Barbara Long

This is a true story of a small girl born in a home where she experiences one disaster after another. Growing up in a family of five children and three adults, one of which is her mother's lover, she suffers third degree burns on her upper body, boil infections, a dog bite to the jugular vein, and a severed toe before she was five years old. However, she perseveres and develops an "I can do anything" attitude which results in over achieving every task she undertakes. This is due to the love and support from a foster mother who takes Betty and Barbara into her home. The story is filled with tragedy, comedy, and warmth and gives an insight into how kids survive in poverty and how schools can many times work against them.

Manoomin

The Story of Wild Rice in Michigan

By: Barbara J Barton

This is the first book of its kind to bring forward the rich tradition of wild rice in Michigan and its importance to the Anishinaabek people who live there. Manoomin: The Story of Wild Rice in Michigan focuses on the history, culture, biology, economics, and spirituality surrounding this sacred plant. The story travels through time from the days before European colonization and winds its way forward in and out of the logging and industrialization eras. It weaves between the worlds of the Anishinaabek and the colonizers, contrasting their different perspectives and divergent relationships with Manoomin. Barton discusses historic wild rice beds that once existed in Michigan, why many disappeared, and the efforts of tribal and nontribal people with a common goal of restoring and protecting Manoomin across the landscape.

Everything I Know About You

By: Barbara Dee

“A poignant and often hilarious slice of middle-grade life.” —Kirkus Reviews “Readers will root for big-hearted Tally.” —Publishers Weekly Thirteen-year-old Tally discovers several surprising things about her roommate—including the possibility of an eating disorder—during a seventh-grade class trip in this timely novel from the author of Star-Crossed and Halfway Normal. During a class trip to DC, thirteen-year-old Tally and her best friends, Sonnet and Caleb (a.k.a. Spider) are less than thrilled when they are assigned roommates and are paired with kids who are essentially their sworn enemies. For Tally, rooming with “clonegirl” Ava Seely feels like punishment, rather than potential for fun. But the trip is full of surprises. Despite a pact to stick together as much as they can, Sonnet pulls away, and Spider befriends Marco, the boy who tormented him last year. And Marco just might “like” Tally—what’s that about? But the uneasy peace in Ava and Tally’s room is quickly upended when Tally begins to suspect something is off about Ava. She has a weird notebook full of random numbers and doesn’t seem to eat anything during meals. When Tally confronts Ava, Ava threatens to share an embarrassing picture of Tally with the class if Tally says anything to anyone about her suspicions. But will Tally endanger more than her pride by keeping her secret? This is one class trip full of lessons Tally will never forget: how to stay true to yourself, how to love yourself and embrace your flaws, and how being a good friend can actually mean telling a secret you promised to keep…

The State of Sex

Tourism, Sex and Sin in the New American Heartland

By: Barbara Brents,Crystal Jackson,Kathryn Hausbeck

The State of Sex is a study of Nevada’s brothels that situates the nation's only legal brothel industry in the political economy of contemporary tourism. Nevada is part of the "new American heartland," as its pastimes, people, and politics have become more central to the nation. The rise of a service and leisure economy over the past sixty years has propelled sexuality into the heart of contemporary markets. Yet, neoliberal laws in the United States promote business but limit sexual commerce. How have Nevada's legal brothels survived, while the rest of the country criminalizes prostitution? How do brothels operate? Who works in them? This book brings social theory on globalizing economies, politics, leisure consumption, and emotional labor in interactive service work together with research on contemporary prostitution and sexual commerce. The authors employ an innovative, multi-method sociological approach, combining historical analysis of how the brothels came to be with over a decade's worth of ethnographic research on the current state of the industry.

Hate Crimes

[5 volumes]

By: Barbara Perry

This book offers a comprehensive approach to understanding hate crime, its causes, consequences, prevention, and prosecution. Hate crimes continue to be a pervasive problem in the United States. The murder of Matthew Shepard, the lynching of James Byrd, the murderous rampage of Benjamin Smith, and anti-Muslim violence remind us that incidence of deadly bigotry is not only a recurring chapter in U.S. history, but also a part of our present-day world. Contrary to common belief, hate mongers who commit crimes are rarely members of the Ku Klux Klan or a skinhead group. In fact, fewer than 5 percent of identifiable offenders are members of organized hate groups. Yet rather than being an individual crime, hate crime represents an assault against all members of stigmatized and marginalized communities. To fully understand the phenomenon of hate crime and reduce its incidence, it is necessary to clearly define the term itself, to examine the victims and the offenders, and to evaluate the consequences and harms of hate crimes. This comprehensive five-volume set carefully addresses the disturbing variety and incidence of hate crimes, exposing their impacts on the broader realms of crime, punishment, individual communities, and society. The contributing authors and editors pay critical attention to cutting-edge topics such as online hate crimes, hate-based music, anti-Latino hostilities, Islamaphobia, hate crimes in the War on Terror, school-based anti-hate initiatives, and more. The final volume of Hate Crimes provides valuable food for thought on possible legislative, educational, social policy, or community organizational responses to the varied forms of hate crime.
