The Person I Once was

A One-act Play

By: Cindy Lou Johnson

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Living with her over protective older sister Mattie, Catherine (Cat) is increasingly impatient to know more of the world beyond their small Kentucky town. And she is oddly stirred by the strange young man who stands silently by the street lamp before their house, gazing up at her window. Eventually the young man, Blaise, strikes up a conversation, revealing that while he is now a bag boy at the local supermarket, he has ambitions far beyond his present occupation--ambitions that will soon make him someone other than "the person he once was." Jealous and fearful, and sensing that Blaise may not be all he claims to be, Mattie warns Cat against Blaise, leading to a confrontation that stirs up long-standing enmities between the two sisters. But, as the play reaches its quiet, gently moving conclusion, it is love that ultimately triumphs--the realization by Mattie and Cat of the strong ties that will always bind them; and, for Cat, the promise of a new and different kind of love to enrich her life and fulfill her longings.

The Jury and Democracy

How Jury Deliberation Promotes Civic Engagement and Political Participation

By: John Gastil,E. Pierre Deess,Philip J. Weiser,Cindy Simmons

Alexis de Tocqueville, John Stuart Mill, and the U.S. Supreme Court have all alleged that jury service promotes civic and political engagement, yet none could prove it. Finally, The Jury and Democracy provides compelling systematic evidence to support this view. Drawing from in-depth interviews, thousands of juror surveys, and court and voting records from across the United States, the authors show that serving on a jury can trigger changes in how citizens view themselves, their peers, and their government--and can even significantly increase electoral turnout among infrequent voters. Jury service also sparks long-term shifts in media use, political action, and community involvement. In an era when involved Americans are searching for ways to inspire their fellow citizens, The Jury and Democracy offers a plausible and realistic path for turning passive spectators into active political participants.

The Great Plague Scare of 1720

Disaster and Diplomacy in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World

By: Cindy Ermus

From 1720 to 1722, the French region of Provence and surrounding areas experienced one of the last major epidemics of plague to strike Western Europe. The Plague of Provence was a major disaster that left in its wake as many as 126,000 deaths, as well as new understandings about the nature of contagion and the best ways to manage its threat. In this transnational study, Cindy Ermus focuses on the social, commercial, and diplomatic impact of the epidemic beyond French borders, examining reactions to this public health crisis from Italy to Great Britain to Spain and the overseas colonies. She reveals how a crisis in one part of the globe can transcend geographic boundaries and influence society, politics, and public health policy in regions far from the epicentre of disaster.

Legendary Locals of Greenville

By: Cindy Landrum

Greenville has long been a city of visionaries. Richard Pearis settled on the banks of the Reedy River in Cherokee hunting land where few white men would venture. Max Heller, who escaped Nazi-occupied Austria as a teen, triggered the rebirth of downtown. They are some of Greenville's local legends who have seen possibilities, not limitations. They come from all walks of life. Textile leaders such as John T. Woodside, Thomas Parker, and John D. Hollingsworth transformed the city into the "Textile Capital of the World." When textiles began to fade, businessmen and leaders such as Charles Daniel, Tommy Wyche, Tom Barton, Virginia Uldrick, Dick Riley, Carl Sobocinski, and Xanthene Norris helped transform the city once again. Stories of people who have shaped Greenville with their vision, making it what it is today, fill these pages.

Pumpkin

The Curious History of an American Icon

By: Cindy Ott

Why do so many Americans drive for miles each autumn to buy a vegetable that they are unlikely to eat? While most people around the world eat pumpkin throughout the year, North Americans reserve it for holiday pies and other desserts that celebrate the harvest season and the rural past. They decorate their houses with pumpkins every autumn and welcome Halloween trick-or-treaters with elaborately carved jack-o'-lanterns. Towns hold annual pumpkin festivals featuring giant pumpkins and carving contests, even though few have any historic ties to the crop. In this fascinating cultural and natural history, Cindy Ott tells the story of the pumpkin. Beginning with the myth of the first Thanksgiving, she shows how Americans have used the pumpkin to fulfull their desire to maintain connections to nature and to the family farm of lore, and, ironically, how small farms and rural communities have been revitalized in the process. And while the pumpkin has inspired American myths and traditions, the pumpkin itself has changed because of the ways people have perceived, valued, and used it. Pumpkin is a smart and lively study of the deep meanings hidden in common things and their power to make profound changes in the world around us.

Urban Appetites

Food & Culture in Nineteenth-Century New York

By: Cindy R. Lobel

Glossy magazines write about them, celebrities give their names to them, and you’d better believe there’s an app (or ten) committed to finding you the right one. They are New York City restaurants and food shops. And their journey to international notoriety is a captivating one. The now-booming food capital was once a small seaport city, home to a mere six municipal food markets that were stocked by farmers, fishermen, and hunters who lived in the area. By 1890, however, the city’s population had grown to more than one million, and residents could dine in thousands of restaurants with a greater abundance and variety of options than any other place in the United States. Historians, sociologists, and foodies alike will devour the story of the origins of New York City’s food industry in Urban Appetites. Cindy R. Lobel focuses on the rise of New York as both a metropolis and a food capital, opening a new window onto the intersection of the cultural, social, political, and economic transformations of the nineteenth century. She offers wonderfully detailed accounts of public markets and private food shops; basement restaurants and immigrant diners serving favorites from the old country; cake and coffee shops; and high-end, French-inspired eating houses made for being seen in society as much as for dining. But as the food and the population became increasingly cosmopolitan, corruption, contamination, and undeniably inequitable conditions escalated. Urban Appetites serves up a complete picture of the evolution of the city, its politics, and its foodways.

Journey On the Crest

Walking 2600 Miles from Mexico to Canada

By: Cindy Ross

“Cindy Ross does not claim to be a heroine. Her book is about the fear of an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. . . . It is good to read of someone who is just crammed full of courage, guts, spirit and determination.” —Smoke Blanchard, Walking Up and Down in the World Cindy Ross had already hiked the 2000-mile length of the Appalachian Trail when, hoping to escape a deadening daily routine and sort out her life, she returned to the wild. But this time it was a more rugged arena: the Pacific Crest Trail, a mostly mountainous, 2600-mile route from Mexico to Canada, vastly different from the relatively gentle, well-traveled Appalachian Trail. Her trip began—badly—in the California desert, where the hiking “partner” she had selected from an advertisement proved to be totally inexperienced and so strange that they parted company the first day. Continuing alone, Ross soon became the de facto leader of a motley, ever-changing crew of PCT walkers that came to be known as “Cindy’s Circus.” Long, rugged hiking days produced physical ailments and strong emotions, but in confronting and surmounting these challenges, Ross grew in strength. After many months and several major changes in her life, Ross beat fall snows and storms to reach the Canadian border. More than the end of the trail, this was also a symbolic milestone in her life. In narrating her story, Ross deftly brings the reader into the physical and emotional landscape of long-distance hiking. Her cast of “Crest characters” is sharply drawn in both words and sketches.

Faith from a Positive Psychology Perspective

By: Cindy Miller-Perrin,Elizabeth Krumrei Mancuso

This book highlights religious faith from a positive psychology perspective, examining the relationship between religious faith and optimal psychological functioning. It takes a perspective of religious diversity that incorporates international and cross-cultural work. The empirical literature on the role of faith and cognition, faith and emotion, and faith and behaviour is addressed including how these topics relate to individuals’ mental health, well-being, strength, and resilience. Information on how these faith concepts are relevant to the broader context of relational functioning in families, friendships, and communities is also incorporated. Psychologists have traditionally focused on the treatment of mental illness from a perspective of repairing damaged habits, damaged drives, damaged childhoods, and damaged brains. In recent years, however, many psychological researchers and practitioners have attempted to re-focus the field away from the study of human weakness and damage toward the promotion of a positive psychology of well-being among individuals, families, and communities. One domain within the field of positive psychology is the study of religious faith as a human strength that has the potential to enhance individuals’ optimal existence and well-being.

To Where we Once Belonged

Colwyn Bay Revisited

By: Cindy Lowe

This novel is inspired by the reality of true events in a small coastal town during the Second World War, some of the characters are based on people who lived, others are purely fictitious. It is a fact realised only in recent years that the town of Colwyn Bay and its population deserved huge recognition for its vitally important administrative role during wartime in feeding the nation. This function is now celebrated annually at a festival each April since the publication of ‘Colwyn Bay Accredited’. The prologue describes a young girl fascinated by the diary of her great grandmother written as a teenager during the war years. We visit Spain, and continue on to Liverpool and North Wales in an obscure seemingly insignificant area. Set in the 21st century, stories of the past and wartime years surface in memories of the characters, all of whom have their own agenda for returning, and many have connections to each other. Rita, retired to the Costa Blanca is an ageing former singer, famous and successful in the past, and now wealthy but widowed and lonely. There has been a family rift with her brother and she has no children of her own. An explanation of the appearance of the mysterious stranger at The Metropole is eventually revealed in a surprising twist. A glimpse of the future is disclosed. Themes of regeneration, the downward spiral of society, in comparison to attitudes during former times of challenge and adversity, and nostalgic curiosity about the past in a hometown are explored. Many mysteries are explained but some things will never be known.

Cindy Ross is one of today's most eloquent and thoughtful writers on the connection between humans and the natural world."—Richard Louv, New York Times bestselling author The Log Cabin Years is the inspiring story of how award-winning author Cindy Ross and her husband, artist Todd Gladfelter—a young couple totally inexperienced in construction—built a log home using raw trees and without the use of power, how they recycled and used salvage to supplement their materials, and how the home went on to become a living, breathing part of their lives together. With a perfect mix of memoir and practical information, The Log Cabin Years explores the ways the couple not only developed their building skills but defined the values and virtues by which they would continue to live—self-confidence, freedom, and independence. As the cabin walls grew, so, too, did Cindy and Todd—as individuals and as partners. Building a home forced the couple to learn to argue constructively, communicate openly, and work within the parameters of each person’s unique personality. The Log Cabin Years is a great example of how two people can learn to work together through difficult times, both mental and physical. For their efforts, they were able to build, and then live in, a beautiful home—debt free. From hosting Appalachian Trail hikers to offering a sanctuary for recovering veterans, from providing a place to homeschool and teach their children to launching Todd’s very successful career as a chainsaw carving artist, the cabin has given back, fostering creativity, learning, and healing. Building your own home has long been an American dream. The desire and need to live more sustainably has seeped into all aspects of our lives. The Log Cabin Years will speak to all people who wish to live a more sustainable life, empower themselves, build relationships, learn skills, and perhaps create a hand-built home of their own.

Patient-Reported Outcomes in Performance Measurement

By: David Cella,Elizabeth A. Hahn,Sally E. Jensen,Zeeshan Butt,Cindy J. Nowinski,Nan Rothrock,Kathleen N. Lohr

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are measures of how patients feel or what they are able to do in the context of their health status; PROs are reports, usually on questionnaires, about a patient's health conditions, health behaviors, or experiences with health care that individuals report directly, without modification of responses by clinicians or others; thus, they directly reflect the voice of the patient. PROs cover domains such as physical health, mental and emotional health, functioning, symptoms and symptom burden, and health behaviors. They are relevant for many activities: helping patients and their clinicians make informed decisions about health care, monitoring the progress of care, setting policies for coverage and reimbursement of health services, improving the quality of health care services, and tracking or reporting on the performance of health care delivery organizations. We address the major methodological issues related to choosing, administering, and using PROs for these purposes, particularly in clinical practice settings. We include a framework for best practices in selecting PROs, focusing on choosing appropriate methods and modes for administering PRO measures to accommodate patients with diverse linguistic, cultural, educational, and functional skills, understanding measures developed through both classic and modern test theory, and addressing complex issues relating to scoring and analyzing PRO data.

My Walks with Remi

Devotions Inspired by Nature to Strengthen Your Faith Journey

By: Cindy J. Anderson

My Walks with Remi is a book of devotions illustrated with stunning color images of nature taken during Cindy’s walks in California with her handsome and spirited Portuguese Water Dog, Remi. As Cindy’s first dog, Remi has taught her a lot, but walking in nature with Remi helped her be more aware of God’s presence. The majesty of the mountains, the sparkling blue Pacific Ocean, and the vibrant colors of the flowers that were in perpetual bloom opened her eyes to the inspiration God brought her as he seemed to whisper in her ear, “Look at that!” In My Walks with Remi, Cindy shares the life lessons she felt God taught her through photos, reflections, and prayer, as they relate to the images she observed. With Scripture that spans both the Old and New Testaments, the devotions are a witness to how God still speaks to us today. They will uplift and encourage you as you are awakened to God’s presence in the beauty of nature in your life. My Walks with Remi will delight your eyes and nourish your soul.

Splendid Flowers for Every Day

By: Cindy Smith

Cindy Smith designs for the best of the best-- including such top names as Bruce Springsteen, Nicole Kidman, and Oprah. But fortunately for those of us who don' t have their astronomical budgets, she also knows how to create out-of-this-world arrangements that real people can afford. With tasteful and stunningly photographed projects, Smith reveals how you can attain that elegant " star look, " too. The containers she uses are common ones-- ceramic pots, glass vases, baskets, bowls, tea cups-- and Smith teaches all the necessary tricks of the trade, including hot-gluing flowers to surfaces, using floral foam in containers, stringing flowers, and floating flowers. From amazing centerpieces to a floral birthday cake stand, from hanging votives with colored water to a tangerine topiary tree, each one is magnificent. Plus: Smith gives us an inside peek at luxurious celebrity events, with photographs.

Buying National Security

How America Plans and Pays for Its Global Role and Safety at Home

By: Gordon Adams,Cindy Williams

The tools of American statecraft—defense, diplomacy, foreign and security assistance, homeland security and intelligence—are rarely examined together. Adams and Williams fill this gap by examining how these tools work, how they are planned for, and how they are budgeted. Seeing policy through the lens of the budget can help decision makers and ordinary citizens discern the genuine priorities of national leaders from the oftentimes illusory ones portrayed in rhetoric. Simply put, policies and strategies cannot be carried out without a corresponding allocation of resources. Buying National Security weaves a tapestry around the institutions, organizations, tools, and processes that support planning and resource allocation across the breadth of the American national security enterprise. The authors analyze the planning and resource integration activities across agencies of the Executive branch as well as examine the structure and processes the Congress uses to carry out its national security oversight and budgetary responsibilities. Finally, they review the adequacy of the current structures and process and evaluate proposals for ways both might be reformed to fit the demands of the 21st century security environment.

It's Time

A Family's Journey of Discovering Truth and God's Amazing Grace

By: Cindy Prince

Does it really make a difference to God how we worship Him? Do you think He cares? Is there a way to know for sure? Should evidence matter when were walking by faith? Is the God who created the universe still in the business of changing lives? Its Time is the story that answers Yes! to all of the above. It is the journey of a family of seven, devoted to a religion they loved and had no intention of ever leavingbut God had other plans. Dive in and discover how God opens the door, scoops them up, and redirects their path; how the Spirit uses everything from casual conversations to major life events to reveal His truth and guide their journey; how He uses seeds that had been planted long before the day He said, Its time; and how He repeatedly answers the prayers they dared not express, in the way that only He could have known their hearts needed, leading them to the grace of His unconditional love. Let it encourage, enlighten, and remind you that we serve a mighty God. He cares, He calls, and He has given us everything we need to respond through His Word and His Spiritand He doesnt stop there. ------------------- Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:56)

A Tour of Historic Sullivan's Island

By: Cindy Lee

From the very beginning, Sullivan's Island has held a unique place in the history of South Carolina. As a fortress, it provided protection from enemies. As a lazaretto, it became a main corridor through which slaves entered America. Its most enduring role, however, has been as a place of escape, first for those in the nineteenth century avoiding the epidemics plaguing the city and lately for those in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries looking for a relaxing vacation. Join native Cindy Lee as she traces the island's singular past. Calling on her experience as a guide to the city of Charleston, she uses the buildings to illustrate the stories of the people who lived and worked on Sullivan's Island for over three centuries.
