The Best of Emerge Magazine

By: George E. Curry,Brenda L. Webber,Sylvester Monroe,Les Payne

The 1990s. African Americans achieved more influence–and faced more explosive issues–than ever before. One word captured those times. One magazine expressed them. Emerge. In those ten years, with an impressive circulation of 170,000 and more than forty national awards to its credit, Emerge became a serious part of the American mainstream. Time hailed its “uncompromising voice.” The Washington Post declared that Emerge “gets better with each issue.” Then, after nearly a decade, Emerge magazine closed its doors. Now, for the first time, here’s a collection of the finest articles from a publication that changed the face of African American news. From the Clarence Thomas nomination to the Bill Clinton impeachment . . . from the life of Louis Farrakhan to the death of Betty Shabazz . . . from reparations for slavery to the rise of blacks on Wall Street . . . the most important people, topics, and turning points of this remarkable period are featured in incisive articles by first-rate writers. Emerge may have ended with the millennium, but–as this incomparable volume proves–the quality of its coverage is still unequaled, the extent of its impact still emerging. Stirring tribute, uncanny time capsule, riveting read–The Best of Emerge Magazine is also the best of American journalism.

Wonder Women of the Bible

Heroes of Yesterday Who Inspire Us Today

We all need inspiration and encouragement to be courageous-to face our battles victoriously and to exert more power in our lives. Draw strength from these wonder women of the Bible.

From a brief Scripture backdrop, Brenda gleans personal truths from these heroes. Recall how God chose to involve women in His plans in daring, yet ordinary life moments. Be inspired that He will work in your life as you reflect on the discussion questions for each woman: Discover what encourages or discourages you as you face threats, with Rahab. Embody a bold, assertive, likable nature as you prepare for battle, with Deborah. Embrace your good works for what they are as you minister, with Dorcas. Escape what hinders your worship as you dwell in God's presence, with Anna. Grasp true wisdom and courage as you walk, with the Wise Woman of Abel. Book jacket.

Song of the Shenandoah

By: Brenda George

Jed Buchanan is one of the Blue Ridge mountain people displaced by the formation of the Shenandoah National Park. Through a quirk of fate he is offered a job as a farm manager on one of the loveliest farms in the Shenandoah Valley. Though he loves the life, dire danger lurks in the form of a fanatical, old-style Ku Klux Klan klavern that has been operating in the rural areas of Northern Virginia. Jed falls in love with two very different women: the beautiful, sultry sophisticate, Virginia Chadwick, whom he saves from being savaged by a vicious dog. This leads to the humble hillbilly giving regular lectures to one of the most powerful groups in Washington DC., Then theres lovely, spunky Sage Kelly, who has left three men at the altar. However, Jed has good reason to suspect that she and her brother, Tom, are members of the Ku Klux Klan. Sequel to the widely acclaimed "Falling Leaves and Mountain Ashes", this compelling epic novel, set in the1940s and 1950s, displays once again what a master storyteller George is.

Race, Identity, and Privilege from the US to the Congo

By: Brenda F. Berrian

In July 1961, five months after Patrice Lumumba’s assassination, 14-year-old Brenda F. Berrian’s consciousness was raised by her family’s move to the turbulent Republic of the Congo. Race, Identity, and Privilege from the US to the Congo traces Berrian’s experiences of subsequently traveling the United States, Canada, France, and three other African countries against the backdrop of emerging African independence and the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. Detailing the complexities she faced in her global identity as a Black woman, Berrian explores how the love and support of her parents and her developing racial, feminist, and political consciousness--strengthened by her embrace of literature and music of the African diaspora--prepared her to deal with adversity, stereotypes, and grief along the way.

Research and Development in Clinical Nursing Practice

By: Brenda Roe,Christine Webb

Though slogans such as 'nursing must be a research-based profession' have been around for a long time, recent initiatives such as Nursing Development Units (NDUs), quality assurance and evidence-based practice have moved nursing to the forefront amongst health professions in taking seriously the promotion of rational care based on a critical appraisal of past practices and the evaluation of new ideas and techniques. This is the first book to examine research and development in clinical nursing practice. It explains how to do it and how to apply it.

To Serve My Country, to Serve My Race

The Story of the Only African-American WACS Stationed Overseas During World War II

By: Brenda L. Moore

I would have climbed up a mountain to get on the list [to serve overseas]. We were going to do our duty. Despite all the bad things that happened, America was our home. This is where I was born. It was where my mother and father were. There was a feeling of wanting to do your part. --Gladys Carter, member of the 6888th To Serve My Country, to Serve my Race is the story of the historic 6888th, the first United States Women's Army Corps unit composed of African-American women to serve overseas. While African-American men and white women were invited, if belatedly, to serve their country abroad, African-American women were excluded for overseas duty throughout most of WWII. Under political pressure from legislators like Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., the NAACP, the black press, and even President Roosevelt, the U.S. War Department was forced to deploy African-American women to the European theater in 1945. African-American women, having succeeded, through their own activism and political ties, in their quest to shape their own lives, answered the call from all over the country, from every socioeconomic stratum. Stationed in France and England at the end of World War II, the 6888th brought together women like Mary Daniel Williams, a cook in the 6888th who signed up for the Army to escape the slums of Cleveland and to improve her ninth-grade education, and Margaret Barnes Jones, a public relations officer of the 6888th, who grew up in a comfortable household with a politically active mother who encouraged her to challenge the system. Despite the social, political, and economic restrictions imposed upon these African-American women in their own country, they were eager to serve, not only out of patriotism but out of a desire to uplift their race and dispell bigoted preconceptions about their abilities. Elaine Bennett, a First Sergeant in the 6888th, joined because "I wanted to prove to myself and maybe to the world that we would give what we had back to the United States as a confirmation that we were full- fledged citizens." Filled with compelling personal testimony based on extensive interviews, To Serve My Country is the first book to document the lives of these courageous pioneers. It reveals how their Army experience affected them for the rest of their lives and how they, in turn, transformed the U.S. military forever.

Miss Brenda and the Loveladies

A Heartwarming True Story of Grace, God, and Gumption

By: Brenda Spahn,Irene Zutell

One woman’s fight to provide hope for the hopeless… Seven ex-cons who changed her heart forever… For Brenda Spahn, entrepreneur and businesswoman, wealth was a lifestyle—until a brush with the law threatened to send her to prison. In those dark moments, Brenda made a promise to God. Spared incarceration, a renewed Brenda glimpsed into the lives of women serving time in one of the worst places in America—the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women in Wetumpka, Alabama. What she saw prompted a God-inspired vision. With a heart to help and a will that couldn’t be crushed, Brenda fought the system and overcame tremendous obstacles to take ex-cons into her own home and help them navigate the alien world of life on the outside. This is the story of Brenda’s journey from rags to riches to redemption. It’s the story of the first unlikely year of her “Whole Way House” and of the extraordinary lives of the first seven women who came to call her “Miss Brenda.” It’s a story that testifies to the power of faith and how God changes hearts every day.

He Did That?!

Jesus' Amazing Acts for Women

By: Brenda Poinsett

When was the last time you stopped to meditate on God’s power? Or when did you last stand in awe of just how radical Jesus was when He walked the earth? When was the last time you knew deep in your spirit you were living and moving as a woman of confident faith? In He Did That?!, take a front-row seat and, through Brenda Poinsett’s artful writing, step back in time to observe Jesus in His most powerful roles. Engage in deep reflection on this radical man’s actions—what they meant then and what they mean now—and find your faith and integrity strengthened. As you meditate on the deep significance of His actions, you will gain a new understanding of who Jesus is, renew your hope that the supernatural is possible in your own life, strengthen your integrity as you hear Him call you to rock the boat, and cry refreshing tears as His love washes over you. Prepare to be amazed by Christ’s incredible actions meant for you. See Him anew and get ready to exclaim, “Oh, my! You’ll never believe what Jesus did for me!”

Freud's Wizard

Ernest Jones and the Transformation of Psychoanalysis

By: Brenda Maddox

The saturation of the English-speaking world with psychoanalytic concepts was due largely to one brilliant analyst, Ernest Jones. As Freud's disciple, colleague, and biographer-and the man who rescued Freud from the Nazis-he led the international psychoanalytic movement, shifting its vortex from Vienna to London and spreading its influence to Toronto, New York, and Boston. While negotiating the ferocious politics of the movement, Jones also managed an imposing series of liaisons, including an heiress and her maid, analysands, and a “Druid Bride.” Unlike Freud, he never had to wonder, “What do women want?”

George Eliot in Love

George Eliot in Love

By: Brenda Maddox

George Eliot is one of the most celebrated novelists in history. Her books, including Middlemarch, Daniel Deronda, and Adam Bede, are as appreciated now as they were in the nineteenth century. Yet her nonconformist and captivating personal life—a compelling story in itself—is not well known. Ridiculed as an ugly duckling, Eliot violated strict social codes by living with a married man for most of her adult life. Soon after he died, she married a much younger man who attempted suicide during their honeymoon. The obstacles Eliot overcame in her life informed her work and have made her legacy an enduring one. Brenda Maddox brings her lively style to bear on the intersection of Eliot's life and novels. She delves into the human side of this larger-than-life figure, revealing the pleasure and pain behind the intellectual's public face. The result is a deeply personal biography that sheds new light on a woman who lived life on her own terms and altered the literary landscape in the process.

Prefabs

A History of the UK Temporary Housing Programme

By: Brenda Vale

Originally published in 1995, this book unravels the history of the ‘temporary bungalow’ and shows that perhaps it was more a question of providing a new peace-time product for factories than a means of providing accommodation for the homeless. Built in a period of housing history which remains fascinating for architects and planners and admired by some of their first occupants but berated by others, those prefabs remaining today are subject to preservation orders but also perhaps offer a solution to the ongoing housing crisis in the UK. The book includes chapters on the development of the prefab house in the UK; comparisons with temporary housing programmes in the USA, Sweden and Germany; political and economic considerations to the UK Temporary Housing Programme and a discussion of the design of the Arcon, Uni-Seco, Tarran and Aluminium Temporary Bungalows.

Cleansing The Doors Of Perception

A Paranormal Guidebook Paperback

By: Brenda Diskin

If you are interested in exploring the realms of the paranormal, the facts, the myths, the believers view, the skeptics view, the possibilities and the probabilities then this book is for you. The purpose of this book is to provide a record of information gathered from various sources; taking into account spiritual, scientific, skeptical and nonplus angles of perception. Besides being an interesting read for those new to the Paranormal field it is hoped that this book will be a valuable asset to the hardened Investigator in their bid to reach his or her ultimate goal; which, probably, is to prove or disprove the existence of some form of life after death. The majority of us like a good ghost story, but what makes it even better is if that ghost story is based on fact. This book covers personal accounts that were related to the author by real people. Normal, level headed people from all walks of life; the majority of them being quite skeptical until they experienced something that they could not explain. Whether you are a believer or not there are some accounts within this book that defy logical explanation. The author has added a few legends (as she believes there is always some truth attached to myths), a little documented history (to enhance some of the stories) and a few Paranormal Investigation reports.

Entangled

By: Carmen Green,Carla Fredd,Brenda Jackson

Alexandria, Renee and Danielle are three very different women with one thing in common: their late husband! Join them as they look for a love to call their own in these sizzling stories from New York Times bestselling author Brenda Jackson, Carmen Green, and Carla Fredd from The Three Mrs. Fosters series—collected here for the first time in one volume! This Time for Good by Carmen Green Alexandria Lord-Wright was an Atlanta society princess— wealthy, beautiful and popular. The only thing she couldn’t buy was her parnts’ respect, and marrying Marc Foster was supposed to change that. Instead, Alex was crushed to learn that Marc had two other wives—at least. In danger of losing her stake in the family company because of Marc’s deception, she finds an unlikely ally in Hunter Smith, a sexy, successful businessman. But now that Alex is finally learning to stand on her own two feet, she’s not prepared to let any man run her life—even one whose red-hot kisses awaken her senses to just how good love can be.… Originally published in 2008 The Perfect Man by Carla Fredd Even a woman blessed with a genius IQ can make a dumb mistake, and for Renee Foster, marrying Marc was exactly that. Although she’s eager to forget her past, first Renee needs Marc’s brother, FBI agent Chris Foster, to help her locate a missing necklace. It seems like a simple plan, yet Renee soon realizes that nothing about Chris is simple. Unlike other men, he’s not intimidated by her intelligence, and he sees past her aloof manner to the home-loving, passionate person she truly is. But Chris refuses to settle down—and Renee won’t settle for less than she needs, even if that means walking away from the perfect man.… Originally published in 2008 Just Deserts by Brenda Jackson Learning that her estranged husband has passed away is the biggest shock of Danielle Timberlake—Foster’s life—until she learns that she wasn’t his only wife. Though Danielle and Marc were separated, she believed they were about to reconcile and start a family. Rocked by betrayal, Danielle sees her dreams slipping away. Until her brother’s best friend, Tristan Adams, offers support, comfort—and a chance to have the child she’s always wanted. Danielle is drawn to Tristan’s strong, sensual nature, but she wed Marc in haste and regretted it. Is she about to repeat her mistake? Or will a marriage of convenience turn into the soulful union she’s always longed for? Originally published in 2008

Unravelling Sustainability and Resilience in the Built Environment

By: Emilio Jose Garcia,Brenda Vale

In this timely book, Emilio Jose Garcia and Brenda Vale explore what sustainability and resilience might mean when applied to the built environment. Conceived as a primer for students and professionals, it defines what the terms sustainability and resilience mean and how they are related to each other and to the design of the built environment. After discussion of the origins of the terms, these definitions are then compared and applied to case studies, including Whitehill and Bordon, UK, Tianjin Eco-city, China, and San Miguel de Tucuman, Argentina, which highlight the principles of both concepts. Essentially, the authors champion the case that sustainability in the built environment would benefit from a proper understanding of resilience.

Gender and Utopia in the Eighteenth Century

Essays in English and French Utopian Writing

By: Brenda Tooley

Focusing on eighteenth-century constructions of symbolic femininity and eighteenth-century women's writing in relation to contemporary utopian discourse, this volume adjusts our understanding of the utopia of the Enlightenment, placing a unique emphasis on colonial utopias. These essays reflect on issues related to specific configurations of utopias and utopianism by considering in detail English and French texts by both women (Sarah Scott, Sarah Fielding, Isabelle de Charrière) and men (Paltock and Montesquieu). The contributors ask the following questions: In the influential discourses of eighteenth-century utopian writing, is there a place for 'woman,' and if so, what (or where) is it? How do 'women' disrupt, confirm, or ground the utopian projects within which these constructs occur? By posing questions about the inscription of gender in the context of eighteenth-century utopian writing, the contributors shed new light on the eighteenth-century legacies that continue to shape contemporary views of social and political progress.

Smallpox

a primer

By: Brenda J. McEleney

Smallpox, is a virus that plagued humanity for millennia. It was the first and only disease ever intentionally eradicated from the face of this planet, a scourge defeated in a remarkable, never-before-attempted campaign of generosity and cooperation by the nations of the world. Its eradication was a triumphant symbol of science and dogged persistence winning over nature. Moreover, its eradication was a gift of man to all mankind. Yet, is it possible that the same hand of man, that once rid the scourge of smallpox from the world, will be used to unleash this terror again on its unprotected citizens? This paper, by providing a thorough review of the history, epidemiology, and current risks associated with this dreaded disease, addresses that question and its implications for the American public.

Bridging the Gap

College Reading

By: Brenda D. Smith

Bridging the Gap has been fully revised to include Collaborative Critical Thinking boxes and Learning Logs, two critical thinking components new to this fifth edition. Along with these elements - which have been so successful in Breaking Through, the lower-level companion text to Bridging the Gap - all other features have been strengthened to further enhance this best-selling reading text. Widely praised for her engaging and motivating writing style, author Brenda D. Smith introduces three reading levels to students - in ascending order of difficulty - that are designed to encourage critical thinking. The fifth edition showcases expanded summary writing discussions, additional practice exercises, and new passages that model the various patterns of organization. Over 60 percent of the end-of-chapter selections were replaced, and all chapters now contain at least one new longer selection. Many academic disciplines are represented throughout, including psychology, history, business, allied health, sociology, English literature, and more.
