A Roof Over Their Heads

Four Different Women, One Shared Dream

By: Carmen Klassen

Carrie, Lisa, Maria, and Jaz know that friendships can come from unusual places. You don’t need to have a lot in common to create lifelong connections. But when Jaz comes up with a radical idea for helping vulnerable people, they agree it’s an almost impossible idea… almost. Carrie’s struggling with a challenging practicum placement and is losing faith in her ability to help people. Lisa has just quit her job to work from home, and is frustrated with their difficulty in making things happen. Jaz is loving her business and her life as a new mom, but her parents are still pressuring her to conform to their expectations. And Maria just wants to make sure all her ‘girls’ are OK before rheumatoid arthritis makes it impossible to do anything on her own. Is it worth shooting for the stars when daily life has so many challenges? Start reading today to find out!

A Lifetime of Love

A Wedding, A Family Crisis, And A Secret Dream

By: Carmen Klassen

Part 1: Carrie and Jonathan can’t believe how good their life is. They’re both in jobs they love, they have time for each other, and they have the perfect wedding planned. But a family crisis brings everything to a sudden halt. Once again, Carrie finds herself scrambling to take care of the people she loves most while trying to meet her client’s needs. Only this time she has Jonathan supporting her. Should they delay their wedding until everyone’s OK? And what if the worst happens? Can either of them handle one more loss in their lives? Surrounded by their friends, they try to put all their plans aside and make the most of what they have right now. Part 2: When Lisa realizes she’s fallen in love with single dad and close friend Aaron, she handles it in her usual, direct way. But his answer sends her on an unexpected search for something she can’t define. She tries to bury herself in caring for her mom, managing her friend Jaz’s clothing business, and keeping an eye on all the tenants in the housing project. But something’s still missing. Will she find whatever it is she’s longing for? Or does she need to accept her life the way it is? She’s counting on her friend-turned-counselor Carrie to help her make the right choices. When she decides what to do next, everything changes. Again. And there’s no chance to go back to the way things used to be.

Counting on Computers

New Information Technologies and Curricular Change in East Germany, 1960s to 1990

By: Carmen Flury

Counting on Computers: New Information Technologies and Curricular Change in East Germany, 1960s to 1990 is a compelling exploration of socialist ambitions for a computerised future and how computer technology was imagined to reshape education and socialist society in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). It delves into the positive visions of a computerised future embraced by the country's one-party leadership, and examines how these visions influenced educational policy and curricula as computers were introduced into workplaces and schools. The book provides readers with a comprehensive perspective on the historical development of computer education in the GDR, highlighting the crucial links between the integration of computers in different sectors of the educational system, as well as in society and the socialist economy at large. By uncovering this lesser-known aspect of East German history, the book sheds light on the intricate and multifaceted relationship between technology, ideology, and education.

Bad Faith

A Forgotten History of Family, Fatherland and Vichy France

By: Carmen Callil

Bad Faith tells the story of one of history’s most despicable villains and con men—Louis Darquier de Pellepoix, Nazi collaborator and “Commissioner for Jewish Affairs” in France’s Vichy government.Darquier set about to eliminate Jews in France with brutal efficiency, delivering 75,000 men, women, and children to the Nazis and confiscating Jewish property, which he used for his own gain. Carmen Callil’s riveting and sometimes darkly comic narrative reveals Darquier as a self-obsessed fantasist who found his metier in propagating hatred—a career he denied to his dying day—and traces the heartrending consequences for his daughter Anne of her poisoned family legacy. A brilliant meld of epic sweep and psychological insight, Bad Faith is a startling history of our times.

Can a Fresh Start Erase the Past?

By: Carmen Klassen

Are you better on your own if your family won’t support you? 18-year-old Lisa Naylor thinks so. Her dad’s verbally abusive, her mom’s distant, and she doesn’t have any friends because they might accidentally give away her secrets.

She’s good with numbers, she’s not afraid of hard work, and she has a dream. All she needs is someone to give her a chance. But she still has to shake off an unhappy childhood, and one phone call threatens to bring it all back. Fans of Carrie from Book 1 will be thrilled when she shows up to help Lisa.

The Politics of Solidarity

Privatisation, Precarious Work and Labour in South Africa

By: Carmen Ludwig

Politische Transformation - und dann? 25 Jahre nach dem Ende der Apartheid sieht sich die südafrikanische Gesellschaft nach wie vor mit drastischen Ungleichheiten konfrontiert. Carmen Ludwig nimmt den Wandel öffentlicher Dienstleistungen im Post-Apartheid-Südafrika und die Auswirkungen der kommunalen Privatisierungen in den Blick. Sie zeigt anhand dreier Großstädte politische Konfliktlinien und lokale Gewerkschaftsstrategien im Spannungsfeld von in- und exklusiver Solidarität auf. Zudem stellt sie die Frage, wie es Gewerkschaften gelingen kann, Solidarität in fragmentierten Belegschaften herzustellen.

Gene Flow Between Crops and Their Wild Relatives

By: Meike S. Andersson,M. Carmen de Vicente

Reviewing the relevant scientific and technical literature, this work summarizes the current state-of-the-art knowledge related to gene flow and introgression (the permanent incorporation of genetic information from one set of differentiated populations into another) between genetically modified crops and their wild relatives. They analyze the biological framework for protecting the genetic integrity of indigenous wild relatives of crops in centers of crop origin and diversity, focusing on the issues of emission, dispersal, and deposition of pollen and/or seed; the likelihood and extent of gene flow from crops to wild relatives; and stabilization and the spread of traits in wild species. The material is organized into crop chapters, each of which covers general biological information of the crop; the most important crop wild relatives together with information about their ploidy levels, diverse genomes, centers of origin, and geographic distribution; the crop's potential for hybridization with its wild relatives; pollen flow studies related to pollen dispersal distances and hybridization rates; the current state of the genetic modification technology regarding that crop; and research gaps. The crop chapters discuss banana and plantain; barley; canola and oilseed rape; cassava, manioc, and yucca; chickpea; common bean; cotton; cowpea; finger millet; maize and corn; oat; peanut and groundnut; pearl millet; pigeonpea; potato; rice; sorghum; soybean; sweet potato, batata, and camote; and wheat and bread wheat.

Health Care Evaluation

By: Carmen Tsang,David Cromwell

Evaluation of health care is necessary if we are to understand the organisation of health services and to determine how health care interventions should be delivered. The second edition of this fully revised public health text introduces the various types of health care evaluations, and explores the ways in which scientifically robust studies can be used to assess health care interventions, with a focus on measuring their impact on patient outcomes. Throughout this book, the concepts and methods of evaluating health care interventions are considered in terms of four key dimensions: effectiveness, efficiency, humanity and equity. In order to fully equip the public health practitioner or student, this book: • Considers a broad range of evaluation methods including cross-sectional studies, quasi-experimental designs and qualitative methods • Gives an updated account of current theory, research and practice in the field • Features activities to help readers apply its content to their own practice Health Care Evaluation, 2nd edition is an essential textbook that outlines evaluation methods in an accessible way for public health students, public health practitioners and policy makers. Understanding Public Health is an innovative series published by Open University Press in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, where it is used as a key learning resource for postgraduate programmes. It provides self-directed learning covering the major issues in public health affecting low, middle and high income countries. "In ageing societies and developing country populations at risk of long term conditions, the impact of new health care interventions on health and wellbeing require robust evaluation. Tsang, Cromwell and colleagues set out a comprehensive framework for a breadth of simple evaluations, carefully laid out with thoughtful vignettes for readers to address and informative reference material. A book for experienced and fledgling evaluators to access, maximising the chances of decisions around innovations being based on sound science." Professor Charles Wolfe, Professor of Public Health, Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, UK "Evaluation is an essential tool to support health services respond to ever more complex demands from an ageing population. This volume is strongly recommended as it provides outstanding guidance combining authority with clarity and ease of use." Ray Fitzpatrick, Professor of Public Health and Primary Care, University of Oxford, UK

Oncologic Emergencies

By: Sai-Ching Jim Yeung,Carmen P. Escalante

Specialized care for cancer-related emergencies and acute conditions has evolved into a new discipline - a hybrid of oncology and emergency medicine. However, most cancer patients are not treated for their emergencies at specialized centers; rather, they go to acute care facilities in general hospitals or emergency rooms. The purpose of Oncologic Emergencies is to provide an additional resource for primary care providers (internists, family practitioners, advanced clinical practitioners), emergency physicians, oncologists, and other healthcare providers who may not see oncology patients on a regular basis. Written by acute care oncology experts, Oncologic Emergencies is an informative and authoritative review for when cancer patients require acute symptom management. The text is extensively indexed for easy access and retrieval of information. Chapters discuss triage, life and death situations, major presenting symptoms, diagnostic imaging, and pathophysiology of emergency illness. Additional chapters focus on the organ system (including pain emergencies and psychiatric emergencies) with other chapters dedicated to pediatric and geriatric cancer patients. Oncologic Emergencies is a compact, concise and comprehensive guide to the management of acute and emergency situations relating to cancer. Key Features: Features generic names for medications and foreign synonyms to allow for world-wide use Incorporates algorithms, especially for diagnostic approaches or therapeutic management Includes a dual-platform mini-CD-ROM with the complete text and illustrations, in fully searchable PDF files
