Living on the Edge initially gives the reader the impression that it is intended for today's youth. However as one continues to read through the life experiences of the author's friends, family and her own experiences, this is clearly a book for all ages. This book is an inspirational lesson on never giving up, but trusting in God and learning from the lessons of others throughout history. This is an easy to read and it compels us to find our inner strength in order to live the successful life God intents for us." .......L. D. Maynard Very few people dare to write the truth about themselves, fearing man's judgement; but truth is the only thing that can deliver us and strengthen the brethren. I tip my hat to you Cheryl, and look forward to your next publication...perhaps "The Overcomer"......Carol. A. Forde
While current literature stresses the importance of teaching about the 9/11 attacks on the US, many questions remain as to what teachers are actually teaching in their own classrooms. Few studies address how teachers are using of all of this advice and curriculum, what sorts of activities they are undertaking, and how they go about deciding what they will do. Arguing that the events of 9/11 have become a "chosen trauma" for the US, author Cheryl Duckworth investigates how 9/11 is being taught in classrooms (if at all) and what narrative is being passed on to today’s students about that day. Using quantitative and qualitative data gathered from US middle and high school teachers, this volume reflects on foreign policy developments and trends since September 11th, 2001 and analyzes what this might suggest for future trends in U.S. foreign policy. The understanding that the "post-9/11 generation" has of what happened and what it means is significant to how Americans will view foreign policy in the coming decades (especially in the Islamic World) and whether it is likely to generate war or foster peace.

With commendable care, she awakes the echoes of long-dead voices whose absence has distorted the sound of tradition".--Mary Ann Donovan, Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley.

American monetary policy is formulated by the Federal Reserve and overseen by Congress. Both policy making and oversight are deliberative processes, although the effect of this deliberation has been difficult to quantify. In this book, Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey provides a systematic examination of deliberation on monetary policy from 1976 to 2008 by the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee (FOMC) and House and Senate banking committees. Her innovative account employs automated textual analysis software to study the verbatim transcripts of FOMC meetings and congressional hearings; these empirical data are supplemented and supported by in-depth interviews with participants in these deliberations. The automated textual analysis measures the characteristic words, phrases, and arguments of committee members; the interviews offer a way to gauge the extent to which the empirical findings accord with the participants' personal experiences --
