End of War

By: Edward Loomis

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

He came from Ohio. Young, unsure of himself, innocent. He came to Europe as an infantryman battling his way into the heart of Germany. There he stopped being unsure of himself. He stopped when he first went into battle and heard the singing of bullets close overhead, heard the crump of the four-inch mortars and saw the Tiger tanks rumbling towards him. He grew to maturity when he killed his first German and he stopped being innocent when he bought his first woman...for a bar of chocolate. When the war ended and the fighting died away, how was he to regain his lost innocence? How was he to lose the habits of a killer? There was no one to help him except Chrystel, the refugee with the body of a girl and the heart of a woman. No one but Chrystel...and himself.

Selected Poems of Edward Loomis

By: Edward Loomis

Some of the free verse offered here was first published in Poems of a Cockroach (1970): this was a self-published pamphlet illustrated with drawings by Gerry Haggerty. EVERYMAN was made into a film with a rather dubious sound-track bringing the thing down. This book is a gathering of work of the last thirty years, and it is a selection, exactly. That might be its strong point. These poems are what I think of as my best stuff, and are offered as that.

Benzo Blues

Overcoming Anxiety Without Tranquilizers

By: Edward H. Drummond

Valium. Atvian. Xanax. These benzodiapezines or "benzos" are among the most routinely prescribed medications in our society, used to treat chronic anxiety in millions of people. But these drugs can actually prolong and aggravate anxiety, causing individuals to postpone dealing with core problems and to increasingly rely on addictive medication with extremely debilitating effects. Of the more than 30 million people who take these drugs, more than four million are addicted.Dr. Edward H. Drummond offers hope with a revolutionary program for overcoming chronic anxiety without the use of tranquilizers. His approach flies in the face of established practices, particularly at a time when health care programs offer dwindling support for psychotherapy, preferring the cheaper course of having patients medicate themselves.Certain to inspire controversy, Benzo Blues is the work of a visionary author out to challenge the medical establishment. Its publication will be greeted with enormous interest by the millions of people affected by these powerful drugs, all of whom will find a new way of dealing with a lifelong problem.

Sociology in Government

The Galpin-Taylor Years in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1919-1953

By: Olaf F. Larson,Edward O. Moe,Julie N. Zimmerman

From 1919 through 1953, the U.S. Department of Agriculture housed the Division of Farm Population and Rural Life&—the first unit within the federal government established specifically for sociological research. Distinguished sociologists Charles Galpin and Carl Taylor provided key leadership for 32 of its 34 years as the Division sought to understand the social structure of rural America and to do public policy-oriented research. It reached the height of its influence during the New Deal and World War II as it helped implement modern liberal policies in America's farming sector, attempting to counteract the harsh effects of modern industrialism on the rural economy. In addition, the Division devoted resources to studying both the history and the contemporary state of rural social life. Sociology in Government offers the first detailed historical account and systematic documentation of this remarkable federal office. The Division of Farm Population and Rural Life was an archetypal New Deal governmental body, deeply engaged in research on agricultural planning and action programs for the disadvantaged in rural areas. Its work continued during World War II with farm labor and community organization work. Larson and Zimmerman emphasize the Division's pioneering practices, presenting it as one model for applying the discipline of sociology in the government setting. Published in cooperation with the American Sociological Association, Sociology in Government preserves the history of this pathbreaking research unit whose impact is still felt today.

Of the Human Heart

A Biography of Benjamin Peirce

By: Edward R. Hogan

Benjamin Peirce was one of the principal contributors to nineteenth-century American science. He gained international prominence from his work on the perturbations of Neptune, and his Linear Associative Algebra was the first important mathematical research done by an American. He was a key figure in the professionalization of American science; and, as superintendent of the United States Coast Survey, he was an effective scientific administrator. Peirce also played an important role in the education of many American scientists, including Simon Newcomb, the most widely honored and recognized American scientist of the generation after Peirce, and Peirce's son. Charles Saunders. Peirce belonged to an impressive family of American intellectuals. The intellectual tradition in the family is apparent with Peirce's feminist mother, and his scholarly father, who wrote a history of Harvard College. The tradition finds its climax in Peirce's son, Charles, perhaps the most exceptional mind the United States has yet produced.

Kansas Politics and Government

The Clash of Political Cultures

By: H. Edward Flentje,Joseph A. Aistrup

This volume uses the prism of political cultures to interpret Kansas politics and disclose the intimate connections between the state's past and its current politics. The framework of political cultures evolves from underlying political preferences for liberty, order, and equality, and these preferences form the basis for the active political cultures of individualism, hierarchy, and egalitarianism. This comprehensive examination of Kansas political institutions argues that Kansas politics, historically and presently, may best be understood as a clash of political cultures.

The Telephone Patent Conspiracy of 1876

The Elisha Gray-Alexander Bell Controversy and Its Many Players

By: A. Edward Evenson

The invention of the telephone is a subject of great controversy, central is which is the patent issued to Alexander Graham Bell on March 7, 1876. Many problems and questions surround this patent, not the least of which was its collision in the Patent Office with a strangely similar invention by archrival Elisha Gray. A flood of lawsuits followed the patent's issue; at one point the government attempted to annul Bell's patent and launched an investigation into how it was granted. From court testimony, contemporary accounts, government documents, and the participants' correspondence, a fascinating story emerges. More than just a tale of rivalry between two inventors, it is the story of how a small group of men made Bell's patent the cornerstone for an emerging telephone monopoly. This book recounts the little-known story in full, relying on original documents (most never before published) to preserve the flavor of the debate and provide an authentic account. Among the several appendices is the "lost copy" of Bell's original patent, the document that precipitated the charge of fraud against the Bell Telephone Company.
