Nation and Province in the First British Empire

Scotland and the Americas, 1600-1800

By: Eighteenth-Century Scottish Studies Society,John Carter Brown Library

For more than four decades, historians have devoted ever-increasing attention to the affinites that linked Scotland with the American colonies in the eighteenth century. This volume moves beyond earlier discussions in two ways. For one, the geographical coverage of the papers extends beyond the territories that became the United States to include what became Canada, The Carribean and even Africa. For another, the volume attends not only those areas in which Scotland was closely linked to the Americas, but also to those where it was not.

7 Exercise Manuals

By Women Pioneers of Physical Fitness

By: Lost Century of Sports Collection,Catharine Beecher,Elizabeth Blackwell,Marian Mason,Mrs. John Bailey,Jessie H. Bancroft,Julia Thomas,Annie Thomas

The first manuals for women’s physical fitness and exercise were published in the 19th century. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series presents seven calisthenics manuals authored by women from 1827 to 1900, reflecting the evolving landscape of women's physical fitness, including more than 200 illustrations (102,000 words). On the Utility of Exercise (1827) by Marian Mason introduces calisthenics set to music. A Course of Calisthenics for Young Ladies (1831) by "M." (presumably Marian Mason) features detailed illustrated exercises and an early exercise machine with weights and pulleys. Calisthenic Exercises for Schools, Families and Health Establishments (1856) by Catharine Beecher (excerpts) emphasizes physical education for women. The Laws of Life (1859) by Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell challenges stereotypes of female frailty. Physical Culture, Beauty, Ideals (1892) by Mrs. John Bailey focuses on short daily exercises for self-improvement. Psycho-Physical Culture (1892) by the Thomas sisters (excerpts) promotes mind-body interconnectedness. School Gymnastics Free Hand (1900) by Jessie H. Bancroft (excerpts) offers comprehensive exercises for schoolchildren. These manuals contribute to understanding women's historical engagement with physical fitness, health and exercise during an era when the concept of women training with weights and acquiring strength was new, controversial and often misunderstood. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Elizabeth Pennell Awheel

Cycling Adventures of a Renowned Travel Writer

By: Lost Century of Sports Collection,Elizabeth Robins Pennell

Elizabeth Robins Pennell was a widely published American travel writer renowned for her literary prowess and cycling expeditions across Europe. Teaming up with her husband, artist Joseph Pennell (whose illustrations accompany her text in this volume), the duo explored Britain and Europe on tandem tricycles and bicycles, chronicling their journeys in captivating prose and detailed illustrations. Their cycling odyssey began in 1884 when they accepted a commission from The Century Magazine, leading to their first book, A Canterbury Pilgrimage (1885), followed by Two Pilgrims’ Progress (1887), and Our Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (1893). Elizabeth's insightful essays in this volume, including Cycling (1890) and At Last, The Ladies’ Perfect Cycling Costume (1892), offer valuable guidance on riding and attire for women cyclists in the Victorian Era. Elizabeth Pennell’s literary contributions extended beyond cycling, encompassing biographies, art criticism, and culinary writings. The Pennell homestead in London served as a hub for literary and artistic luminaries of the time. Through Elizabeth’s writings, readers can embark on a journey through Europe's landscapes while gaining profound insights into the evolving role of women in cycling. Her works stand as literary treasures and historical documents, illuminating an era when cycling symbolized independence and adventure, transcending mere transportation to become a hallmark of exploration and personal freedom. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.

Decade-to-Century-Scale Climate Variability and Change

A Science Strategy

By: National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Commission on Geosciences, Environment and Resources,Panel on Climate Variability on Decade-to-Century Time Scales

Society today may be more vulnerable to global-scale, long-term, climate change than ever before. Even without any human influence, past records show that climate can be expected to continue to undergo considerable change over decades to centuries. Measures for adaption and mitigation will call for policy decisions based on a sound scientific foundation. Better understanding and prediction of climate variations can be achieved most efficiently through a nationally recognized "dec-cen" science plan. This book articulates the scientific issues that must be addressed to advance us efficiently toward that understanding and outlines the data collection and modeling needed.

Beyond the Molecular Frontier

Challenges for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

By: National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology,Committee on Challenges for the Chemical Sciences in the 21st Century

Chemistry and chemical engineering have changed significantly in the last decade. They have broadened their scopeâ€"into biology, nanotechnology, materials science, computation, and advanced methods of process systems engineering and controlâ€"so much that the programs in most chemistry and chemical engineering departments now barely resemble the classical notion of chemistry. Beyond the Molecular Frontier brings together research, discovery, and invention across the entire spectrum of the chemical sciencesâ€"from fundamental, molecular-level chemistry to large-scale chemical processing technology. This reflects the way the field has evolved, the synergy at universities between research and education in chemistry and chemical engineering, and the way chemists and chemical engineers work together in industry. The astonishing developments in science and engineering during the 20th century have made it possible to dream of new goals that might previously have been considered unthinkable. This book identifies the key opportunities and challenges for the chemical sciences, from basic research to societal needs and from terrorism defense to environmental protection, and it looks at the ways in which chemists and chemical engineers can work together to contribute to an improved future.

Speaking of Health

Assessing Health Communication Strategies for Diverse Populations

By: Institute of Medicine,Board on Neuroscience and Behavioral Health,Committee on Communication for Behavior Change in the 21st Century: Improving the Health of Diverse Populations

We are what we eat. That old expression seems particularly poignant every time we have our blood drawn for a routine physical to check our cholesterol levels. And, it's not just what we eat that affects our health. Whole ranges of behaviors ultimately make a difference in how we feel and how we maintain our health. Lifestyle choices have enormous impact on our health and well being. But, how do we communicate the language of good health so that it is uniformly received-and accepted-by people from different cultures and backgrounds? Take, for example, the case of a 66 year old Latina. She has been told by her doctor that she should have a mammogram. But her sense of fatalism tells her that it is better not to know if anything is wrong. To know that something is wrong will cause her distress and this may well lead to even more health problems. Before she leaves her doctor's office she has decided not to have a mammogram-that is until her doctor points out that having a mammogram is a way to take care of herself so that she can continue to take care of her family. In this way, the decision to have a mammogram feels like a positive step. Public health communicators and health professionals face dilemmas like this every day. Speaking of Health looks at the challenges of delivering important messages to different audiences. Using case studies in the areas of diabetes, mammography, and mass communication campaigns, it examines the ways in which messages must be adapted to the unique informational needs of their audiences if they are to have any real impact. Speaking of Health looks at basic theories of communication and behavior change and focuses on where they apply and where they don't. By suggesting creative strategies and guidelines for speaking to diverse audiences now and in the future, the Institute of Medicine seeks to take health communication into the 21st century. In an age where we are inundated by multiple messages every day, this book will be a critical tool for all who are interested in communicating with diverse communities about health issues.

The Role of Theory in Advancing 21st-Century Biology

Catalyzing Transformative Research

By: National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Board on Life Sciences,Committee on Defining and Advancing the Conceptual Basis of Biological Sciences in the 21st Century

Although its importance is not always recognized, theory is an integral part of all biological research. Biologists' theoretical and conceptual frameworks inform every step of their research, affecting what experiments they do, what techniques and technologies they develop and use, and how they interpret their data. By examining how theory can help biologists answer questions like "What are the engineering principles of life?" or "How do cells really work?" the report shows how theory synthesizes biological knowledge from the molecular level to the level of whole ecosystems. The book concludes that theory is already an inextricable thread running throughout the practice of biology; but that explicitly giving theory equal status with other components of biological research could help catalyze transformative research that will lead to creative, dynamic, and innovative advances in our understanding of life.

Who Will Keep the Public Healthy?

Educating Public Health Professionals for the 21st Century

By: Institute of Medicine,Board on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention,Committee on Educating Public Health Professionals for the 21st Century

Bioterrorism, drug-resistant disease, transmission of disease by global travel . . . there's no shortage of challenges facing America's public health officials. Men and women preparing to enter the field require state-of-the-art training to meet these increasing threats to the public health. But are the programs they rely on provide the high caliber professional training they require? Who Will Keep the Public Healthy? provides an overview of the past, present, and future of public health education, assessing its readiness to provide the training and education needed to prepare men and women to face 21st century challenges. Advocating an ecological approach to public health, the Institute of Medicine examines the role of public health schools and degree-granting programs, medical schools, nursing schools, and government agencies, as well as other institutions that foster public health education and leadership. Specific recommendations address the content of public health education, qualifications for faculty, availability of supervised practice, opportunities for cross-disciplinary research and education, cooperation with government agencies, and government funding for education. Eight areas of critical importance to public health education in the 21st century are examined in depth: informatics, genomics, communication, cultural competence, community-based participatory research, global health, policy and law, and public health ethics. The book also includes a discussion of the policy implications of its ecological framework.

Academic Health Centers

Leading Change in the 21st Century

By: Institute of Medicine,Committee on the Roles of Academic Health Centers in the 21st Century

Academic health centers are currently facing enormous changes that will impact their roles in education, research, and patient care. The aging and diversity of the population will create new health care needs and demands, while rapid advances in technology will fundamentally alter the health care systems' capabilities. Pressures on health care costs, growth of the uninsured, and evidence of quality problems in health care will create a challenging environment that demands change. Academic Health Centers explores how AHCs will need to consider how to redirect each of their roles so they are able to meet the burgeoning challenges of health care and improve the health of the people they serve. The methods and approaches used in preparing health professionals, the relationship among the variety of their research programs and the design of clinical care will all need examination if they are to meet the changing demands of the coming decades. Policymakers will need to create incentives to support innovation and change in AHCs. In response, AHCs will need to increase the level of coordination and integration across their roles and the individual organizations that comprise the AHC if they are to successfully undertake the types of changes needed. Academic Health Centers lays out a strategy to start a continuing and long-term process of change.

Microbial Threats to Health

Emergence, Detection, and Response

By: Institute of Medicine,Board on Global Health,Committee on Emerging Microbial Threats to Health in the 21st Century

Infectious diseases are a global hazard that puts every nation and every person at risk. The recent SARS outbreak is a prime example. Knowing neither geographic nor political borders, often arriving silently and lethally, microbial pathogens constitute a grave threat to the health of humans. Indeed, a majority of countries recently identified the spread of infectious disease as the greatest global problem they confront. Throughout history, humans have struggled to control both the causes and consequences of infectious diseases and we will continue to do so into the foreseeable future. Following up on a high-profile 1992 report from the Institute of Medicine, Microbial Threats to Health examines the current state of knowledge and policy pertaining to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases from around the globe. It examines the spectrum of microbial threats, factors in disease emergence, and the ultimate capacity of the United States to meet the challenges posed by microbial threats to human health. From the impact of war or technology on disease emergence to the development of enhanced disease surveillance and vaccine strategies, Microbial Threats to Health contains valuable information for researchers, students, health care providers, policymakers, public health officials. and the interested public.

Female Administrators of the Third Reich

By: Rachel Century

This book compares female administrators who specifically chose to serve the Nazi cause in voluntary roles with those who took on such work as a progression of established careers. Under the Nazi regime, secretaries, SS-Helferinnen (female auxiliaries for the SS) and Nachrichtenhelferinnen des Heeres (female auxiliaries for the army) held similar jobs: taking dictation, answering telephones, sending telegrams. Yet their backgrounds and degree of commitment to Nazi ideology differed markedly. The author explores their motivations and what they knew about the true nature of their work. These women had access to information about the administration of the Holocaust and are a relatively untapped resource. Their recollections shed light on the lives, love lives, and work of their superiors, and the tasks that contributed to the displacement, deportation and death of millions. The question of how gender intersected with Nazism, repression, atrocity and genocide forms the conceptual thread of this book.

Toward Sustainable Agricultural Systems in the 21st Century

By: National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources,Committee on Twenty-First Century Systems Agriculture

In the last 20 years, there has been a remarkable emergence of innovations and technological advances that are generating promising changes and opportunities for sustainable agriculture, yet at the same time the agricultural sector worldwide faces numerous daunting challenges. Not only is the agricultural sector expected to produce adequate food, fiber, and feed, and contribute to biofuels to meet the needs of a rising global population, it is expected to do so under increasingly scarce natural resources and climate change. Growing awareness of the unintended impacts associated with some agricultural production practices has led to heightened societal expectations for improved environmental, community, labor, and animal welfare standards in agriculture. Toward Sustainable Agricultural Systems in the 21st Century assesses the scientific evidence for the strengths and weaknesses of different production, marketing, and policy approaches for improving and reducing the costs and unintended consequences of agricultural production. It discusses the principles underlying farming systems and practices that could improve the sustainability. It also explores how those lessons learned could be applied to agriculture in different regional and international settings, with an emphasis on sub-Saharan Africa. By focusing on a systems approach to improving the sustainability of U.S. agriculture, this book can have a profound impact on the development and implementation of sustainable farming systems. Toward Sustainable Agricultural Systems in the 21st Century serves as a valuable resource for policy makers, farmers, experts in food production and agribusiness, and federal regulatory agencies.

Now more than ever, biology has the potential to contribute practical solutions to many of the major challenges confronting the United States and the world. A New Biology for the 21st Century recommends that a "New Biology" approach-one that depends on greater integration within biology, and closer collaboration with physical, computational, and earth scientists, mathematicians and engineers-be used to find solutions to four key societal needs: sustainable food production, ecosystem restoration, optimized biofuel production, and improvement in human health. The approach calls for a coordinated effort to leverage resources across the federal, private, and academic sectors to help meet challenges and improve the return on life science research in general.

"Daisie" Helen Bassett

Pioneer Cycling Columnist "From a Feminine Point of View" 1885-1888

By: Lost Century of Sports Collection,Helen Bassett

“Daisie” was the penname for Helen Drew Bassett, America’s first prominent woman cycling columnist during the era of the three-wheeler. She was married to Abbot Bassett, longtime secretary of the League of American Wheelmen (L. A. W.), and editor of several cycling trade journals. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series features Daisie’s column, “From A Feminine Point of View,” which spanned three publications from May 1885 to February 1888 (124,000 words). A trailblazing tricyclist and avid promoter of wheeling, she finally embraced the inevitability of the two-wheeler in her final column. Daisie was an early convert to women on wheels. She organized women’s cycling tours and welcomed diverse opinions in her column involving the evolution of the machine, cycling etiquette, and discussions about proper cycling attire. Her compatriots in cycling literature quoted in her column include Mary Sargent Hopkins, Minna Caroline Smith, Ida Trafford Bell, Violet Lorne, and Marguerite Kirkland. Commentaries by several male contributors are also included as they relate to Daisie’s topics. The volume concludes with Daisie's article in Outing magazine, describing the “Ladies’ Eastern Tricycle Tour” in 1888. Her legacy persists not only in her articles but also in the spirited debates and community she fostered within the cycling world, leaving an indelible mark on the early history of women’s cycling in America. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.

Reduce the Number and Size of Governments

Reduce Administrative Costs

By: Tom the Twenty-First-Century Radical

At the moment, governments at all levels have large deficits. A substantial reduction in the administrative cost for government will be required in this century to change this. If the American Dream is to be available to citizens, major changes will be required in education and industry. Reduce the Number and Size of Governments, a new work by Tom, the Twenty-First-Century Radicalauthor of Save Tax Dollarsproposes a collective search for wisdom is required for effective and efficient government. Tom believes it will take a constitutional convention that consists of the best and the brightest, charged with providing an organized government that is efficient and effective, in order to keep the American Dream alive and well-positioned to grow sufficiently and produce new jobs. The Communist Soviet Union failed because citizens where not rewarded for work. When there are not opportunities citizens do not work. Without production of saleable products the Soviet Union was bankrupted. The American citizens should learn from this failure and plan for competition in this century. The government of the United States is of the people, by the people, for the people. The people are in charge, and they will have to demand that government meet the challenges of the new century.
