If you have an open mind and are seeking a much higher level of understanding the environment this book is for you. This book is for those who are environmentally conscience. As a resident living in the Victory Heights West Pullman Community under the name Abbas Hassain aka Charles Fletcher, I lived in a corner house on 121st street and Elizabeth Street next door to the International Harvester and Old Dutch Boy contaminated waste site that was later identified as a Brown Field by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The International Harvester property was later sold to the Reverend Johnny Colman for one dollar and she built a church upon much of the contaminated site by sealing off all hazardous materials that was under the area where the church was built. As the Founder of Reduce Recidivism by Industrial Development, Inc. (R.R.I.D), I help organize the Environmental Committee along with Sarah Parran, Cheryl Jackson, and bought Illinois Environmental Agency, Chicago Department of Environment, along with the Chicago Department of Public Health, Illinois Department of Public Health, Owners of International Harvester, and Old Dutch Boy Paint Company and other Community organizations like Community for People Recovery with the Founder Hazel Johnson (The Mother of the Environment) and her daughter Cheryl. Hazel was called to Washington by then President Bill Clinton and Hazel also knew the present President Barrack Obama. Hazel lived in Altgeid Garden on the far south side of Chicago where President Obama had done his community organizing. Hazel Johnson knew both Presidents at a time where change was about to come to America. Hazel had been meeting at Chicago State University for years and invited RRID and the West Pullman Community to attend an environmental meeting and from that point in 1995 RRID help organize The Victory Heights West Pullman Advisory Council. As Chairperson of this environmental group we teamed up with Hazel Johnson at Chicago State University, my focus had been on the impact of environmental hazards associated with those contaminated elements that cause air-borne lead that affected many of the young students in and around the Edward White elementary school that was effected by the Brown Field Contaminated site causing illness, disease, behavior, death and the effects of magnetic energy fields. For many years we worked with Dr. Joseph Balogun now Dean of the Health Science Department at Chicago State University because of the impact of the environmental hazards that was affecting the broader community in the West Pullman and Pullman communities, later we brought in Roseland Community Hospital, Sharon Thurman, Southside Health Consortium Salim AlNurridan and Dr. Thomas Britt, Assistant Dean Balogun, Professor Daniel Block of the Geography Department, with Professor Mark Mauman and students who were interested in environmental education. Dr. Wayne Watson now President of Chicago State University, we met years earlier when he was President of Kennedy King College who help us to better understand how recidivist behavior played an infallible effect on environmental factors. We began to work with CSU on developing Environmental curriculum for students and professionals that did not have this form of education as part of their studies, rather than medical, nursing, psychiatry, psychology, etc, Today, Chicago State University has implemented the Environmental Curriculum as part of the Universities Environmental Program. This book is dedicated to all those individuals that help to make this program a reality and success. We will forever be grateful for their hard work. I wrote the following articles in an attempt to change the thinking and thought process of all those who read this book. It is my hope that each and everyone that reads this book will be able to see what the author has seen by turning their attention inward to show how our thoughts and the process of thought really works.

Call of Empire

From the Highlands to Hindostan

By: Alexander Charles Baillie

From 1760 to 1869, four generations of one family from the Scottish Highlands sought their fortunes in the service of the East India Company. As they worked their way up through the ranks of the empire, the Baillie family left numerous footprints in India and recorded their fascinating experiences in letters sent home to Scotland. Drawing on thorough research of the military, political, and economic events of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and an extensive collection of family letters that depict the lives and personalities of his ancestors, Alexander Charles Baillie brings the history of British India to life. The compelling documents, lost for over a century with many reproduced here, reveal changing race relations and social attitudes, cultural tensions, military and civilian battles, economic pressures, and the rise and decline of the East India Company. The book focuses especially on two members of the family – William of Dunain, a military officer, and John of Leys, a civil servant – whose numerous adventures and misadventures impart provocative clues about the workings of the empire and the daily lives of its most influential figures. An exciting, invaluable, and personalized glimpse into the past of India, Scotland, and the East India Company, Call of Empire will appeal to genealogy enthusiasts and social and global historians.

Key States, High Stakes

Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, and the 2010 Elections

By: Charles S. Bullock

The 2010 elections were one of the most highly anticipated midterm elections in our nation's recent history. After the historic 2008 election, in which America elected its first black president, Sarah Palin's involvement and the emergence of the Tea Party in the 2010 congressional elections had the potential to transform the composition of congress and set the stage for the nation's politics for the next decade, or even the next generation. In this new edited volume, Charles S. Bullock III collects original contributions from top political scientists to evaluate Sarah Palin and the Tea Party's role in the 2010 midterm elections. Key States, High Stakes focuses on states where Republicans had the chance to pick up Senate seats, as well as examining GOP Senate primaries if they involved a Palin or a Tea Party nominee facing an establishment favorite. Bullock concludes the anthology with a chapter on the legacy of the Tea Party and of Sarah Palin on American politics. One thing is certain. In terms of control of the House and Senate (and its effect on President Obama's policy agenda), the prospects for the 2012 presidential race, and the long-term viability of the Tea Party movement, the stakes in the 2010 midterm elections could not have been higher.

Forgiven

The Rise and Fall of Jim Bakker and the PTL Ministry

By: Charles E. Shepard

Charles E. Shepard's investigative reporting of television evangelist Jim Bakker and his Praise The Lord/People That Love ministry won for The Charlotte Observer the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for meritorious public service. Unprecedented in its scope, Shepard's reporting forced Bakker's resignation in 1987 by exposing PTL's scandalous payoff of Jessica Hahn—and then helped thwart Bakker's secret plan to return to power In Forgiven Shepard analyses how Bakker won the allegiance of so many, as he details Bakker’s early years and PTL’s birth, blossoming, and headline-making decline. Truly a landmark work, Forgiven delves beneath the PTL scandal to illuminate the fascinating inner workings of a major TV ministry, the hazards of the strange alliance between television and church, and the power of television in our culture. This edition includes new and updated material on the trial, sentencing, and imprisonment of Jim Bakker.

Euroshock

How the Largest Debt Restructuring in History Helped Save Greece and Preserve the Eurozone

By: Charles H. Dallara

The inside story of the unprecedented restructuring of Greece’s debt in 2012—the largest restructuring in history—and how the Eurozone was stabilized and Greece was saved from exit from the Euro and economic calamity. In the fall of 2009, the world economy was beginning to recover from the global financial crisis that had shaken global markets and had led to a sharp recession. At the same time, Europe was entering a new phase of economic stress. By the spring of 2011, the European economy had exploded into a full-blown crisis with Greece at the center. The euro, a currency just over a decade old, was under severe pressure and there was growing speculation about Greece leaving the Eurozone and thereby fracturing the common currency, leading potentially to an unraveling of the euro. Against this backdrop, urgent negotiations were launched to pull Greece and Europe back from the brink of disaster. This is the inside story of those negotiations.
