Ride Away with Me, Calico My Love

By: Gail E. Tolbert

Ride Away With Me, Calico My Love is a heart wrenching story of true friendship and tender young hearts that are crushed to the max. Calico and Tyler have grown up together since birth and have never known just how cruel life can be. Until Calicos parents die, her older sister marries an evil man and Calico is discarded in the wilderness by her evil brother in law, all by the age of twelve. Tyler spends nearly fourteen years of his young life searching for Calico knowing in his heart that she is still alive, but not once in all that time finding a trace of her. Calico on the other hand is found by a tribe of Indians and spends the greater part of her life waiting and hoping that Tyler will soon come for her. He is her best friend and she knows that he will not leave her alone in the wild, but Calico fears that Tyler himself may have been dealt the same fate as she by her evil brother in law. Ride along with me now as we try to unite these two young people.

Deceit with Desire

By: Gail E. Tolbert

About the book My Death, it wasn't the worst thing to happen to me. The worst thing was probably the feeling I had just before I pulled the trigger. The feeling I had after wasn't that great either! What do you think happens to you after you die? Most people fear what will happen when they pass away. Ronnie didn't give it much thought until after it happened. His name was Ron Ward. His life wasn't perfect, and towards the end it got worse. After he died he met a spirit named Yignatio. Who's job it is, according to Yignatio "To greet you after you die, and then decide what to do with you!" Ron is a little frightened of what might happen to him because he hasn't led the most reverent life . Yignatio knows everything about Ron. "You should be afraid! You don't know what's going to happen to you." Yignatio said "But the decision was made before you died this time. I have to send you back!" Ron didn't want to go back, so he tried to fight it. When Ron got back he had a secrete. He didn't follow Yignatio's directions and his memory wasn't erased. He remembers everything from his last life. He thought he knew all the answers. Soon he starts to learn that he's not Ron any more. He meets a woman and has a conversation with her, and doesn't realize it's his new Mom. She set's him straight now, and many times later in life. Now his name is Tyler Tuttle. He has a new family and a new life ahead of him.

Journey to Freedom

Uncovering the Grayson Sisters' Escape from Nebraska Territory

By: Gail Shaffer Blankenau

In late November of 1858 two enslaved Black women—Celia Grayson, age twenty-two, and Eliza Grayson, age twenty—escaped the Stephen F. Nuckolls household in southeastern Nebraska. John Williamson, a man of African American and Cherokee descent from Iowa, guided them through the dark to the Missouri River, where they boarded a skiff and crossed the icy waters, heading for their first stop on the Underground Railroad at Civil Bend, Iowa. In Journey to Freedom Gail Shaffer Blankenau provides the first detailed history of Black enslavement in Nebraska Territory and the escape of these two enslaved Black women from Nebraska City. Poised on the “frontier,” the Graysons’ escape demonstrated that unique opportunities beckoned at the confluence of Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas, and their actions challenged slavery’s tentative expansion into the West and its eventual demise in an era of territorial fluidity. Their escape and the violence that followed prompted considerable debate across the country and led to the Nebraska legislature’s move to prohibit slavery. Drawing on multiple collections, records, and slave narratives, Journey to Freedom sheds light on the Graysons’ courage and agency as they became high-profile figures in the national debate between proslavery and antislavery factions in the antebellum period.

Revelation

Revelation

By: Lynn R. Huber,Gail R. O'Day

While feminist interpretations of the Book of Revelation often focus on the book’s use of feminine archetypes—mother, bride, and prostitute, this commentary explores how gender, sexuality, and other feminist concerns permeate the book in its entirety. By calling audience members to become victors, Revelation’s author, John, commends to them an identity that flows between masculine and feminine and challenges ancient gender norms. This identity befits an audience who follow the Lamb, a genderqueer savior, wherever he goes. In this commentary, Lynn R. Huber situates Revelation and its earliest audiences in the overlapping worlds of ancient Asia Minor (modern Turkey) and first-century Judaism. She also examines how interpreters from different generations living within other worlds have found meaning in this image-rich and meaning-full book.

The Strange Woman

Power and Sex in the Bible

By: Gail Corrington Streete

In the worlds of ancient Israel and early Christianity, political and religious laws limited women's options. But some women created options by participating in adultery, prostitution, and other sexual variances, thus resulting in a kind of independence not available to other women. These actions subverted the social system, leading to punishment for some women and power for others.

The Penta Millionaire

By: Gail Longino

Baby did not want to go with Whip, but she was afraid to refuse. She had borne the brunt of his temper, and she knew he just as soon hit her as look at her. "Oh, well. OK. I guess I can," she said. She hoped Cecil would take up for her and send Whip off on his own. That didn't happen. She decided she would buy a blow pop at the Quik Stop when they got to Main Street. Whip spit in the yard as they left it; this time he had a real gun with him. Baby was quiet all the way to town. She said, "What'cha gonna do now?" "What difference does it make? You wouldn't understand if I told ya. You not only the dumbest girl in town, you the ugliest too." Baby was used to abuse; she thought it was normal. She knew she could not argue with Whip or she would get even worse treatment. "So why did you want me to go along with ya tonight?" "I'm teaching ya how to stand up for ya'self. No one else will. You're hopeless!" Whip sneered. When they got to the Quik Stop, she went in and bought her sucker. He got a beer and drank it while they walked toward Ms. Grey's house. It was dark, and when they got there, they eased around to the back of the house. No lights were on, and no cars were parked on the street. "This is gonna be easy. We'll wait and see when she comes home, and then when she goes inside, we'll get her." Whip knew Thursday night she always went out around seven and came home around nine thirty. "How we gonna do that? We can't just go in and get her," Baby said. Whip pulled out the key from his pocket. "Jus' like this," he said. Baby didn't want to harm Ms. Grey. "No, I won't help you," she said and ran as fast as she could around the corner of the house. He hunkered down behind the bushes and sipped on his beer.

The Self-Actualized Baby

By: Gail Longino

Willow Wilton dreamed of traveling the world, but at age twenty-one and being illiterate, a high school dropout, and coming from a very poor family, that dream was not likely to happen in this lifetime. She had never been outside of Oakwood. Her passion to travel fueled her rich imagination with dreams of hosting a travel show. She saw herself in foreign lands, talking to a worldwide audience. Cecil, Willows oldest brother, thought he was clever to create an excuse to visit Baby at her new apartment one night. He started a fight to distract her, and without her realizing it, he had her extra apartment key in his pocket. The next day, Cecil found twenty-dollar bills under Babys mattress in her old room at home. He was not searching for money, but there it was. He filled three black garbage bags. It was her savings from three years of part-time work. He thought in some way that she owed him this money. After all, he was her teacher. He was the one who needed to talk some sense into her. She was a dreamer who thought she could travel; she didnt even own a car. Cecil often advised her, You need to get married and have some kids. You dont need to dream about traveling all over the world. Will Willow have the strength to battle her older brother? Can she keep going toward her dream while he is blocking her? The harder she tries to move toward her goal, the stronger he becomes. Maybe he is right. Maybe she should be like Ma.

Accounting Education

A Review of the Changes That Have Occurred in the Last Five Years

By: Dr. Gail Hartsfield

Some reviewers have maintained that the teaching and learning modes employed at some universities do not to cherish the expert abilities that scholars need to contribute to businesses to guarantee continuous careers (Sharifi, McCombs, Fraser, & McCabe, 2009). They also felt that instructional and educational methods did not permit growth or increase of the expert abilities that could make the students marketable, supporting participants to companies at the start of their career (Lightweis, 2011). The book explores some of aspects of whether accounting education has changed within the last few years.

The Cue for Passion

Grief and Its Political Uses

By: Gail Holst-Warhaft

Having set aside age-old ways of mourning, how do people in the modern world cope with tragic loss? Using traditional mourning rituals as an instructive touchstone, Gail Holst-Warhaft explores the ways sorrow is managed in our own times and how mourning can be manipulated for social and political ends. Since ancient times political and religious authorities have been alert to the dangerously powerful effects of communal expressions of grief--while valuing mourning rites as a controlled outlet for emotion. But today grief is often seen as a psychological problem: the bereaved are encouraged to seek counseling or take antidepressants. At the same time, we have witnessed some striking examples of manipulation of shared grief for political effect. One instance is the unprecedented concentration on recovery of the remains of Americans killed in the Vietnam War. In Buenos Aires the Mothers of the Disappeared forged the passion of their grief into a political weapon. Similarly the gay community in the United States, transformed by grief and rage, not only lobbied effectively for AIDS victims but channeled their emotions into fresh artistic expression. It might be argued that, in contrast to earlier cultures, modern society has largely abdicated its role in managing sorrow. But in The Cue for Passion we see that some communities, moved by the intensity of their grief, have utilized it to gain ground for their own agendas.

The Life and Thought of H. Odera Oruka

Pursuing Justice in Africa

By: Gail M. Presbey

Henry Odera Oruka was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century African philosophy. During the early years of the decolonization of African countries, as universities worked to redefine themselves, Odera drove changes to curricula and research. A tireless advocate for democracy and human rights in Africa, he repeatedly intervened in the political debates of his time. This is the first critical biography of both the man himself and African philosophy in the context of changing times, taking us through his early life, scholarly training, and Oruka's way of transforming the field of philosophy as it was taught in Kenya. The narrative unfolds from the personal to the global, from Africa to the world, and from African philosophy to the wider field of philosophy. Biographical material is woven with narratives of the social conditions and live questions as they arise in Oruka's life in Kenya, Sweden, and the United States. We are introduced to his understanding of philosophy as a critique of society. Exposing prison practices in Africa and targeting capitalists, Oruka sought to remedy social problems on a global scale, from institutional racism and ethnic division to the wealth gap between rich and poor nations. Through archival material, personal interviews and primary texts, this book shines a light on Oruka's monumental contribution to African philosophy and global justice. Finally we can see how Oruka's insights are still relevant to how we think about poverty, philosophy and human rights today.

Evidence-Based Nursing Care Guidelines - E-Book

By: Betty J. Ackley,Gail B. Ladwig,Beth Ann Swan,Sharon J. Tucker

This groundbreaking reference — created by an internationally respected team of clinical and research experts — provides quick access to concise summaries of the body of nursing research for 192 common medical-surgical interventions. Each nursing care guideline classifies specific nursing activities as Effective, Possibly Effective, or Possibly Harmful, providing a bridge between research and clinical practice. Ideal for both nursing students and practicing nurses, this evidence-based reference is your key to confidently evaluating the latest research findings and effectively applying best practices in the clinical setting. Synthesizing the current state of research evidence, each nursing care guideline classifies specific activities as Effective, Possibly Effective, Not Effective, or Possibly Harmful. Easy-to-recognize icons for each cited study help you differentiate between findings that are based on nursing research (NR), multidisciplinary research (MR), or expert opinion (EO), or those activities that represent established standards of practice (SP). Each nursing activity is rated by level of evidence, allowing you to gauge the validity of the research and weigh additional evidence you may encounter. Guidelines are identified by NIC intervention labels wherever appropriate, and NOC outcome measurements are incorporated throughout. An Evolve website provides additional evidence-based nursing resources.

Urban Ecology for Citizens and Planners

By: Gail Hansen,Joseli Macedo

Ideal for city residents, developers, designers, and officials looking for ways to bring urban environments into harmony with the natural world and make cities more sustainable, Urban Ecology for Citizens and Planners offers a wealth of information and examples that will answer fundamental scientific questions, guide green initiatives, and inform environmental policies and decision-making processes. This book provides an overview of the synergistic relationships between humans and nature that shape the ecology of urban green spaces. It also emphasizes the social and cultural value of nature in cities for human health and well-being. Chapters describe the basic science of natural components and ecosystems in urban areas and explore the idea of biophilic urbanism, the philosophy of building nature into the framework of cities. To illustrate these topics, chapters include projects, case studies, expert insights, and successful citizen science programs from urban areas around the world. Authors Gail Hansen and Joseli Macedo argue that citizens have increasingly important roles to play in the environmental future of the cities they live in. A valuable resource for real-world solutions, this volume encourages citizens and planners to actively engage and collaborate in improving their communities and quality of life.
