The Dublin Docker

Working Lives of Dublin’s Deep-Sea Port

By: Aileen O’Carroll,Don Bennett

As a port city, Dublin owes much to the labourers who strove against the heavy-duty tide of imports and exports; a league of thousands who were hired on a day-to-day basis for generations, defining the bustle of Dublin city centre – a cornerstone of the urban industrial working class in Ireland. The Dublin Docker is a sumptuously illustrated history that determines the dockers’ and stevedores’ importance as an industrial subculture within the Dublin that they navigated. The authors excavated the archive of the Dublin Dockworkers Preservation Society to discover a wealth of photographs, spanning the mid-nineteenth century to the 1970s, that capture the dockers’ arduous labour and the energy of Dublin port. These evocative images bring this beautifully designed social history to life, complementing the inimitable voices revealed in interviews with the dockers themselves. How they negotiated working hours and pay, the changes that came with epochal events – the Dublin Lockout, the First World War, the Easter Rising and War of Independence – and the innumerable myths and ‘dark stories’ that shrouded their image: The Dublin Docker is a history of the dockers and their deep-woven connection to the city.

Caring For Kids

A Critical Study Of Urban School Leavers

By: Rodney R Cocking,Richard J. Altenbaugh,David E. Engel,Don T. Martin

The official school drop-out figure in the US in recent years has been 25 per cent of the cohort. Estimates from large cities are often double these rates, and in some areas 60 per cent or worse. This text focuses on this problem in US schools, but from an unusual perspective. It is a study gained from in-depth interviews of 100 "stop-outs" - that is, those who dropped out but then decided to return to school. Four basic questions are posed by this text: who drops out?; why did they drop out?; what caused them to return?; and what intervention policies can be formulated to prevent students dropping out in the first place? The answers provided by this text for the last question are intended to make it of particular interest to school administrators.

Vocational Education and Training

The Northern Territory’s history of public philanthropy

By: Don Zoellner

This book represents the first consolidated history of vocational education and training in the Northern Territory. Not only does the story present a chronological account of events, people and institutions, it also offers an explanation of how the system actually works and this has application well beyond the Territory. The mix of historical accounting and operational analysis comes from a unique perspective. It is proposed that the best way to understand the behaviour of the government ministers who have responsibility for vocational training is to compare their decisions and actions with those of wealthy philanthropists.

The Presidency of Abraham Lincoln

The Triumph of Freedom and Unity

Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War are forever linked. The bloody conflict began in 1861, the year Lincoln was elected president. It ended in 1865, the year he was struck down by an assassin's bullet. During those years the admired and despised 16th president served as a brilliant commander in chief, ultimately keeping the nation together and freeing thousands of its enslaved people.

The Orangeman, Second Edition

The Life and Times of Ogle Gowan, Second Edition

By: Don Akenson

From the end of the Napoleonic Wars to Confederation, central Canada was awash with migrants from the British Isles and their cultural values. The raw prejudice that they brought with them – against the French, the Catholics, and even Yanks and Europeans – bound together the eventual political majority in Ontario. The Orangeman uses the life of Ogle Gowan, an Irish Protestant upstart from County Wexford who turned central Canada Orange, to explore these forces. Gowan was ambitious, malicious, and mendacious, but by the time of Confederation the Orange Order was the largest alliance of men in the country – the foundation of the coalition of conservative Protestants that sculpted Canadian politics in the century that followed. Don Akenson uses his skills as a historian and a novelist in respecting the historical record. The Orangeman is a lively and entertaining fictional biography, and in Akenson’s telling Gowan crosses swords with William Lyon Mackenzie and goes pub-crawling with the young John A. Macdonald. One never knows everything about a historical person or event; sometimes the right thing to do is to speculate sensibly and, if possible, have a little fun along the way. Akenson shows us Canadian loyalism, constitutionalism, and deference to state authority on one side of the coin, and on the flip side, the successful attempt by one group of Canadians to do down the other. This is real history, real life: as yesterday, so today.

The Killing Rule

By: Don Pendleton

Demolition Charge The disappearance of two CIA agents in London plus intelligence chatter involving the IRA and access to weapons of mass destruction launch Bolan's hard probe in the British Isles. Suspecting the IRA link is the lesser part of something more far-reaching and sinister, Bolan recruits a renegade force to close in on a traitor high in the ranks of the British government--exposing a conspiracy involving stolen Russian nuclear submarine warheads and a death deal brokered with Iran. All that stands between a desert continent and a crippling blow to humanity is Bolan's sheer determination to take whatever action necessary to thwart a victory for terror.

Belmont: the Billion Dollar High School

Fighting Fraud & Waste in School Construction

By: Don Mullinax

This book has it all – fraud, waste, corruption, politics, and greed. It is an outsider's inside true story about how a group of educators tried to build a public high school in downtown Los Angeles. Inspector General Don Mullinax with the help of Leslie Dutton and TJ Johnston of Full Disclosure Network expose how a school district mired in favoritism, cronyism, and self-dealing put greed and politics ahead of the safety and educational interests of children. This book puts a spotlight on problems from 20 years ago that still exist today at most school systems across the county. It is a must read for citizens, parents, and school officials who do not want to make the same mistakes as those who came before them. The Los Angeles Unified School District had not built a high school in over 30 years. So why would a former playground supervisor be put in charge of building the most complex and politically charged school ever? This eye-opening book takes you behind the scenes of how outsider Mullinax was hired, assembled his investigative "dream team," and dealt with the challenges of uncovering what went wrong with building the nation's most expensive high school – the Belmont Learning Complex. Mullinax exposes how a public-school system selected the highest bidder and signed an agreement to build a high school at a guaranteed maximum price of $110 million. However, the cost skyrocketed to almost $1 billion. How could that happen? This book reveals how Mullinax and his team of former FBI special agents, forensic accountants, and environmental attorneys found that every time the LAUSD had an opportunity to make the right call, they failed. Mullinax also offers 10 key takeaways from his Belmont experience to help school systems follow the right path to building and renovating school facilities.
