Footprints in Kpong

By: Edward Young,Ruth Young

Footprints in Kpong, a little girl in Jackson Michigan had a dream to be a missionary to Africa through the inspiring stories she heard from missionaries who visited her grandmother. God, if you are willing, send me and I will go. Footprints in Kpong is the missionary journey of Ruth Young to Ghana, West Africa. The story started with Ruth Young yielding to the call of God on her life and God made it possible for so many people to support her to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ to Ghana. This book came into being because the author treasures the memories of all the people she encountered on the way and the amazing work God has done in her life. The support of church community, the love of a husband and the amazing grace of God are evident in Footprints in Kpong. My daughter my encourager, Joana inspired me once again to revise this book Footprints in Kpong and I hope it blesses you! She is one of the evidences of my labor of love in Footprints in Kpong. Roy International School will be the light on the hilltop! This is the doing of the Lord and it is marvelous in our sight.

The Heartbeat of Innovation

A History of Cardiac Surgery at the Toronto General Hospital

By: Edward Shorter,Hugh E. Scully,Bernard S. Goldman

Great innovations take place within great institutions. Founded in 1819, Toronto General Hospital (TGH) is one of Canada’s oldest hospitals and has created a nurturing environment for early Canadian innovations in heart surgery. The Heartbeat of Innovation tells the story of the brilliant surgeons who worked there and the hospital environment that provided an incubator to the many people – skilled perfusionists, dedicated nurses, and pioneering cardiologists – who participated in the revolution in heart surgery that took place along University Avenue in Toronto. Supported by historical records, hospital archives, personal memoirs, and interviews, this book is an extensive and descriptive account of the seemingly inexorable development of cardiac surgery at this leading academic health science centre. It pursues several themes: the complexity of this surgical specialty, its generally male-dominated nature, the trend toward teamwork in practice, and the evolution and incorporation of original research into this branch of healthcare. These strands are woven together to demonstrate how the TGH has evolved into such a dominant leader in the competitive and demanding field of cardiac surgery. Canadian hearts may beat with pride at the knowledge that one of the major stories in modern medicine took place here – and continues here.

Law in American History, Volume III

1930-2000

By: G. Edward White

In Law in American History, Volume III: 1930-2000, the eminent legal scholar G. Edward White concludes his sweeping history of law in America, from the colonial era to the near-present. Picking up where his previous volume left off, at the end of the 1920s, White turns his attention to modern developments in both public and private law. One of his findings is that despite the massive changes in American society since the New Deal, some of the landmark constitutional decisions from that period remain salient today. An illustration is the Court's sweeping interpretation of the reach of Congress's power under the Commerce Clause in Wickard v. Filburn (1942), a decision that figured prominently in the Supreme Court's recent decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act. In these formative years of modern American jurisprudence, courts responded to, and affected, the emerging role of the state and federal governments as regulatory and redistributive institutions and the growing participation of the United States in world affairs. They extended their reach into domains they had mostly ignored: foreign policy, executive power, criminal procedure, and the rights of speech, sexuality, and voting. Today, the United States continues to grapple with changing legal issues in each of those domains. Law in American History, Volume III provides an authoritative introduction to how modern American jurisprudence emerged and evolved of the course of the twentieth century, and the impact of law on every major feature of American life in that century. White's two preceding volumes and this one constitute a definitive treatment of the role of law in American history.

Mud, Blood and Bullets

Memoirs of a Machine Gunner on the Western Front

By: Edward Rowbotham,Janet Tucker

It is 1915 and the Great War has been raging for a year when Edward Rowbotham, a coal miner from the Midlands, volunteers for Kitchener’s Army. Drafted into the newly formed Machine Gun Corps, he is sent to fight in places whose names will forever be associated with mud and blood and sacrifice: Ypres, the Somme and Passchendaele. He is one of the ‘lucky’ ones, winning the Military Medal for bravery and surviving more than two-and-a-half years of the terrible slaughter, which wiped out all but six of his original company.He wrote these memoirs fifty years later, but found his memories of life in the trenches had not diminished at all. The sights and sounds of battle, the excitement, the terror, the extraordinary comradeship, are all vividly described as if they had happened to him only yesterday.
