Priest and Patriot

The Life and Letters of Father Carl Hausmann, Sj

By: Cynthia Hausmann

Father Carl Hausmann, SJ, spent his life serving others, leading a life of asceticism and holiness as a Jesuit priest in the Philippines. He also wrote hundreds of letters to his devout German-American family detailing his calling. In this intimate biography, Father Carl s niece, Cynthia Joy Hausmann, has translated an expansive collection of letters dating from her uncle s youngest days. Through his letters, we meet a youngster who buys candy instead of putting his pennies in the church collection. Later, as a Jesuit student, he counsels his father not to take the day s prevalent anti-German sentiment personally. As a compassionate missionary, Father Carl serves lepers on an isolated island. Finally, in World War II, this self-sacrificing man shares both the word of God and his meager rice ball with American soldiers imprisoned by the Japanese. Up to the hour of his death by starvation, Father Carl calms his family s worries about the dangers besetting him. Clearly, Father Carl s biography illustrates how letter writing is a personal endeavor: one that has been virtually lost amid today s technology. Father Carl s missives endure as a guidepost for future generations, giving us a window into how deeply capable we can be in ministering to others.

A Priceless Legacy

Franz Hausmann’S Letters to His Children, 1841–1856

By: Cynthia Joy Hausmann

Franz Hausmann reminisces with justifiable contentment on the life hes carved out for himself in nineteenth-century Bavaria. By the time he is writing to his children, he has already served honorably in the infantrysurviving the disastrous 1812 march into Russia as part of Napoleons Grande Armeobtained a university degree in government, and earned universal respect in his current career as an increasingly important royal counselor. A Priceless Legacy offers a collection of his poignant letters showing how Franz devoted all his spare energy to educating his eleven childrensending them to the best schools he can afford, penning words of advice to be kept as reference, and always encouraging them to become self-reliant, honorable, and devout members of society. Mostly leaving the girls to his wifes care, Franz focuses on the boys. They cause him many headaches and heartaches, but he calmlyand sternlytries to steer them in the right direction. Franzs great-granddaughter Cynthia Joy Hausmann has translated these letters and provided useful background comments. After Franzs death in 1856, much of Europe went through a period of political and economic upheaval, causing half of Franzs children to seek their fortune in the United States, where their descendants still exemplify Franzs wise legacy. Portrait of Franz Hausmann as a civilian official, ca. 1830. He still proudly displays the red ribbon and white cross of the French Legion of Honor, which Napoleon awarded him in 1812

The Multinational Enterprise and Legal Control

Host State Sovereignty in an Era of Economic Globalization

By: Cynthia Day Wallace

This long-awaited new book from Cynthia Day Wallace picks up the thread of her best-selling Legal Control of the Multinational Enterprise: National Regulatory Techniques and the Prospects for International Controls. In the present work she applies herself to legal and pragmatic aspects of control surrounding MNE operations. The primary focus is on legal and administrative techniques and measures practised by host states to control – transparently or less so – foreign MNE activity within their territories, or even extraterritorially when effects are felt within national boundaries. The primary geographic focus is the six most investment-intensive industrialized states (namely,Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom). At the same time an important message of the present study is precisely the implication for the developing countries as well as for the emerging market economies of central and eastern Europe - and even Asian nations besides Japan, because it is the sharing of this very ‘experience of years’ that can best serve to facilitate a fuller participation on the part of the up-and-coming economies in the same global market place.

Crave

Why You Binge Eat and How to Stop

By: Cynthia M. Bulik, Ph.D.

February 2007, a landmark clinical study by researchers at Harvard University was published in Biological Psychiatry and was soon picked up widely by the media. A survey of 3,000 participants found that 2.8 percent of them suffered from binge eating disorder (BED); that women were twice as likely to report binge eating; and that BED occurs across the age span, from children to the elderly. By extrapolating the statistics to the general population, health professionals estimate 5,250,000 American women and 3,000,000 men suffer from binge eating. The same month the study was published Jane Brody revealed in the New York Times that when she was a 23 years old, her food binges were so extreme that "Many mornings I awakened to find partly chewed food still in my mouth...." Cynthia Bulik, director of the UNC Eating Disorders Progam, is a foremost authority on binge eating. BED can affect anyone, and can be caused by brain chemistry, genetic predisposition, psychology, and cultural pressures--but none of those triggers make giving in to food cravings inevitable. Crave helps readers understand why they crave specific foods, recognize their individual triggers, and modify their responses to those triggers. Binge eating disorder is highly treatable; 70% to 80% of patients at the UNC Eating Disorders Program triumph over their binge eating by using techniques to "curb the crave". Through the stories of some of these patients--men and women, young and old--and with the guidance of Bulik, readers will develop a variety of strategies to use in conquering their cravings and establishing healthy eating habits.

In Praise of Song

In Praise of Song

The Making of Courtly Culture in al-Andalus and Provence, 1005-1134 A.D.

By: Cynthia Robinson

This volume offers a reconstruction of the court culture of the taifa kings of al-Andalus (11th century A.D.), using both visual and textual evidence. A focus of particular attention is the court of the Banū Hūd at Zaragoza, and that dynasty's palace, the Aljafería. Principle written sources are not histories and chronicles, but the untranslated poetic anthologies of al-ḥimyarī and al-Fatḥ ibn Khāqān. The first part of the book addresses taifa visual and literary languages, with especial emphasis on connections between the literary and visual aspects of taifa aesthetics. The sections on the Aljafería's ornamental program will be of particular interest, not only to historians of Islamic art, but to students of all visual traditions with strong non-figural components. In addition, Part One also proposes that taifa court culture has been considered as a culture of "courtly love," and this argument also forms the point of departure for Part Two. The second part of the study uses luxury objects of Islamic and Limousine production as a point of departure for a detailed comparison of the thematics of taifa poetry in classical Arabic on the themes of courtly love and pleasures with those of the better-known Provençal tradition.
