An Adoption Story

By: Bernice Gottlieb

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Take My Children is a story of love that bridges two continents. It is a story of human compassion. It is a story of the courage of parents, who, out of love, ask others to adopt their children and of the parents who say they'll take them. It is also the story of a battle to eradicate age-old prejudices, fears and superstitions a battle that one woman carried through the halls of Congress to move a nation to open its arms to eight children no other country wanted. These innocent, healthy children hadn't lived long enough to become anyone's political enemies. The enemy was ignorance, the children its victims. It all began with a visit from Father Alexander Lee, a priest who served as administrator of a leprosy colony at St. Lazarus Village in Korea. He carried a plea from five of his patients: Take our children and help them to have a better life. This is a story of love, compassion, determination, and courage. It is a book that is real; because that's the way it happened. Marvin Scott, Senior Correspondent, WPIX-TV News, New York

Havoc-On-Hudson

By: Bernice Gottlieb

As a real estate broker greets a classy, well-dressed visitor at an Open House in upscale Hudson Hills, she has no idea that minutes later he will pin her against the wall, yank up her skirt, and clamp his gloved hand over her nose and mouth. The unwitting victim is only saved from a catastrophic fate by the young couple who abruptly appear at the door. When another broker is found beaten, raped, and left for dead in the basement of a vacant house she had been showing to a prospective buyer, the peace and tranquility of the picturesque Hudson River Valley is shattered and suddenly becomes an unsafe place for real estate agents. In this riveting thriller, Maggie Mitty, a prominent Hudson Hills Realtor, is caught off guard when the newly-hired police chief asks for her help in solving the case. With local brokers paralyzed by fear, and a potential serial rapist on the loose, Maggie has her job cut out for her. But after she discovers a murdered colleague in a Jacuzzi, Maggie realizes that she is up against more than she had bargained for -- a psychopath with an insatiable thirst for blood.

The Dove in the Tea Room

And Other Life Stories

By: Bernice Gottlieb

The Friedmans and Gottliebs were ordinary people living extraordinary lives. Perservering through periods of war, persecution, personal tragedy and economic crisis, they always clung to the core values that marked them as the brave and decent family they are. With this memoir they remember those who came before them, and honor them for passing down the beliefs that made them a family to be proud of. They passed down stories, too --and by putting these intimate fragments, favorites of the clan, into print, they hope to preserve family lore and inspire newer generations to do the same. In an effort to identify the family members in a loose collection of old photographs, the memories -- humorous, poignant and sometimes heartbreaking -- intruded, revealing a compelling drama of two American Jewish families.

The House in the Cul-De-Sac

By: Bernice Gottlieb

Chuck Ellison has gone missing! Theres no sign of him anywhere, and the police are baffled and fearful of ending up with a cold case. Maggie Mitty, a realtor in the upscale village of Hudson Hills, seems to know more about his whereabouts than anyone else, and she quickly becomes a suspect in his disappearance because of it. George MacDuffie, the owner of a historical house, and his sister Bernadette, who just emigrated from Scotland to take care of her aging older brother, are Maggies next-door neighbors, and they have just hired a mysterious young man named Tavis Connor from Edinburgh to be the caretaker of their property. Everyone seems to have a motive for murder! Maggie, a history buff, is obsessed with the MacDuffies mansion because it was once a station in the Underground Railroad and had a tunnel that helped slaves take refuge in while waiting for ships to take them to Canada and to freedom. She offers to help Chief Betsy, the new police chief in Hudson Hills, and shares the first important clue in the investigation with her. The suspense is riveting, and the book is hard to put down until Chuck is finally found.

Egocentric Network Analysis

Foundations, Methods, and Models

By: Brea L. Perry,Bernice A. Pescosolido,Stephen P. Borgatti

Egocentric network analysis is used widely across the social sciences, especially in anthropology, political science, economics, and sociology, and is increasingly being employed in communications, informatics, and business and marketing studies. Egocentric network analysis requires a unique set of data collection and analysis skills that overlap only minimally with other network methodologies. However, until now there has been no single reference for conceptualizing, collecting, and analyzing egocentric social network data. This comprehensive guide to study design, data collection, and analysis brings together the state of knowledge with the most effective research tools to guide newcomers to this field. It is illustrated with many engaging examples and graphics and assumes no prior knowledge. Covering the entire research process in a logical sequence, from conceptualizing research questions to interpreting findings, this volume provides a solid foundation for researchers at any stage of their career to learn and apply ego network methods.

Mother's Milk

Breastfeeding Controversies in American Culture

By: Bernice L. Hausman

Mother's Milk examines why nursing a baby is an ideologically charged experience in contemporary culture. Drawing upon medical studies, feminist scholarship, anthropological literature, and an intimate knowledge of breastfeeding itself, Bernice Hausman demonstrates what is at stake in mothers' infant feeding choices--economically, socially, and in terms of women's rights. Breastfeeding controversies, she argues, reveal social tensions around the meaning of women's bodies, the authority of science, and the value of maternity in American culture. A provocative and multi-faceted work, Mother's Milk will be of interest to anyone concerned with the politics of women's embodiment.

Coping with Aging

Coping with Aging

By: Richard S. Lazarus,Bernice N. Lazarus

Coping with Aging is the final project of the late Richard S. Lazarus, the man whose landmark book Emotion and Adaptation put the study of emotion in play in the field of psychology. In this volume, Lazarus examines the experience of aging from the standpoint of the individual, rather than as merely a collection of statistics and charts. This technique is in line with his long-standing belief that experiences should be looked at in their specific contexts, rather than squeezed into an overly general statistical viewpoint that loses the subjects' motivations. Drawing on his five decades of pioneering research, Lazarus looks at aging, emotion, and coping, and stability and change in both environment and personality. Because Lazarus mixes academic rigor with everyday examples, this volume will be both useful to scholars and accessible to the lay audience that has so much gain from a systematic understanding of aging and emotion.

From Silence to Voice

What Nurses Know and Must Communicate to the Public

By: Bernice Buresh,Suzanne Gordon

To get the resources and respect they need, nurses have long had to be advocates for themselves and their profession, not just for their patients. For a decade, From Silence to Voice has provided nurses with the tools they need to explain the breath and complexity of nursing work. Bernice Buresh and Suzanne Gordon have helped nurses around the world speak up and convey to the public that nursing is more than dedication and caring-it demands specialized knowledge, expertise across a range of medical technologies, and decision-making about life-and-death issues. "Nurses and nursing organizations," they write, "must go out and tell the public what nurses really do so that patients can actually get the benefit of their expert care."--Amazon.com.
