The Scout Cabin During World War II, can you imagine what must have happened when the folks in the village of Lakeville learned that German POWs were going to be working on farms in the area? With school out that summer of 1944, two young boys spend hours camping on an island and attacking an old Boy Scout cabin filled with imaginary evil forces. Little did they know that they would one day encounter and become captives of real enemy soldiers right in their own home town! Trunk in the Attic Looking in a closet for an antique Victrola in his grandparent's attic, a young boy discovers an old steamer trunk he had never seen before. Opening it, he finds it not only empty, but bottomless. His curiosity leads to a strange, scary, and very mysterious discovery. Cassie and the Sugarplum Fairy When Cassie learns that the town's largest employer is closing its doors just prior to Christmas, she decides to do something about it. How can a little girl tackle a problem of this dimension? Find out how she (with the help of some fairies and elves) overcomes a seemingly hopeless situation, proving that happy endings are possible when people work together.
The Pickle Docks - I doubt if anyone has ever written a story about cucumbers. Not a terribly interesting vegetable by itself. Me? I don't care for them raw or even in salads. Dill pickles, sweet relish, bread and butter chips? Now that's a different story. However, suffice it to say that this story isn't about cucumbers either, but rather about the growers, the labor imported to harvest the crop, and the company that bought them for processing. Although the names have been changed, this story is based on an incident that once happened in a small village in Michigan when I was growing up. The Cemetery Road - Ever been to a cemetery at night on Halloween? Find out what happened a few years back in Lakeville when two youngsters wanted to try the experience! As we silently approach the cemetery gate, the wind picked up pushing black clouds across the face of the once-full moon. The balmy moonlit night suddenly began to turn dark, except for an occasional lightning flash in the distance. Thunder rumbled and we all walked a little closer together through the entrance. The gate moved back and forth with the wind, making rusty, squeaky sounds as if to warn us not to go any farther.

Television has a powerful impact on our beliefs and is open to use as a political and propaganda tool. Greg Philo has taken a new approach to examining these issues by inviting groups of television viewers to write their own news programmes, based on news pictures from the 1984-5 British miners' strike.
Too often, couples enter remarriage unaware of potential problems and unprepared for the challenges stepfamily life will bring. The Heart of Remarriage takes a unique approach to success in remarriage by going straight to the heart, helping couples heal from the inside out rather than offering surface suggestions that may change circumstances but not the lives of couples and their families. Drs. Gary and Greg Smalley partner with remarried couple Dan and Marci Cretsinger to offer this marriage-changing idea: No matter what circumstances or challenges a remarried couple and their stepfamily face, the solution starts in their hearts. Remarried couples will learn how to examine their own hearts and heal them from the hurts of the past, so that they can be filled with God's love and let that love overflow to their family members. The Heart of Remarriage teaches readers how to create emotional security for every family member and offers practical ideas for connecting at the heart level with their spouse, children, and stepchildren. Couples will be encouraged to keep their hearts open and challenged to leave a family legacy of love.

Charles Everett Roseberry joined the United States Army in 1942 in part because he was single whereas his brother, William Chester Roseberry, was married. Charles served overseas in Africa, Italy, France and Germany. William Roseberry was drafted into the Army in 1944 just months before the birth of his second son on D-Day. William served in Italy in the North Appenines and Po River campaigns. Both brothers wrote regularly to their sister, Margaret Roseberry Lawton of Radford, Virginia who saved their letters for over 50 years before giving them to their children and grandchildren. The letters are not descriptions of the war, which would have been censored, but the concerns of two young men from a small southwest Virginia town finding themselves overseas and away from their families. Topics range from family matters to the capture or deaths of friends and a recurring theme is each brother's concern for the other.
Pedagogy is often glossed as the ‘art and science of teaching’ but this focus typically ties it to the instructional practices of formalised schooling. Like the emerging work on ‘public pedagogies’, the notion of cultural pedagogies signals the importance of the pedagogic in realms other than institutionalised education, but goes beyond the notion of public pedagogies in two ways: it includes spaces which are not so public, and it includes an emphasis on material and non-human actors. This collection foregrounds this broader understanding of pedagogy by framing enquiry through a series of questions and across a range of settings. How, for example, are the processes of ‘teaching’ and ‘learning’ realised within and across the pedagogic processes specific to various social sites? What ensembles of people, things and practices are brought together in specific institutional and everyday settings to accomplish these processes? This collection brings together researchers whose work across the interdisciplinary nexus of cultural studies, sociology, media studies, education and museology offers significant insights into these ‘cultural pedagogies’ – the practices and relations through which cumulative changes in how we act, feel and think occur. Cultural Pedagogies and Human Conduct opens up debate across disciplines, theoretical perspectives and empirical foci to explore both what is pedagogical about culture and what is cultural about pedagogy.
Charles Roseberry was 20 years old when he enlisted in the U. S. Army in 1942. Throughout his years in the army, beginning in Basic Training and continuing through his time in Africa, Italy, France, Germany and Austria, he wrote to his sister Margaret Roseberry Lawton who saved these letters for over 50 years. After his discharge, Charles Roseberry became active in the Disciples of Christ Church. With his letters are included his papers from this time. Rather than battle descriptions, what is found in the letters is the growth of a young man from a small southwest Virginia town away from home, in new countries with different customs, in the midst of war. His papers following the war reflect the continuing effect such an experience leaves on an individual.
Trout are found in some of the most wild, romantic and scenically diverse habitats on Earth, and fly fishers the world over share a unique camaraderie, something universally profound and sincere. In The Last Wild Trout, Greg French explores the last truly great and most coveted trout fisheries left on the planet. Roaming the final frontiers of trout fishing, Greg visits twenty locations including Tasmania, New Zealand, Iceland, the British Isles, Mongolia, Slovenia, British Columbia, Wyoming, California, Nevada and Hokkaido. Each chapter deals with a unique species or subspecies of wild trout, and tells a compelling human narrative set against a backdrop of conservation. Photo sections and taxonomy notes complete the picture in this fascinating book. Reflecting on the complexity of humanity's interactions with pristine natural environments and threatened fisheries, The Last Wild Trout is a reminder from one of the world's best fishing writers of the beauty and importance of nature in all of our lives.

This brief contains information on the reduction of environmental impact and explains how it is a key driver for the R&D of new forest products. The authors, experts in the field, describe how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used to assess the environmental impact of such products, e.g. in order to guide R&D or attract investments. The authors describe the main challenges of carrying out LCAs on forest products, make recommendations for managing these challenges, and discuss future research needs. LCA case studies are used to illustrate the challenges, covering a variety of forest products: building components, biofuels, industrial chemicals, textile fibres and clothing. Described challenges include the planning of LCA studies (e.g.how can one use LCA in R&D?), the modelling of product systems (how can one handle multi-functionality and uncertainties related to waste handling and geographical location of future production?) and environmental impact (how can one assess water and land use impact, and the climate impact of biomass?).
This title was first published in 2001. When marriages break down, most parents experience difficulty in agreeing on contact or residence arrangements for their children. Family Courts Services provide mediation as a way of resolving differences and many parents accept this offer of assistance. Featuring extensive empirical research, this book examines the effectiveness of family mediation services and challenges the view that court-based interventions are unlikely to be successful.
Fizzes with clever vignettes and juicy tidbits... [a] joyous romp of a book.' Guardian 'A fascinating, rollicking book in search of why, where and how fame strikes. Sit back and enjoy the ride.' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads '[An] engaging and well-researched book... Jenner brings his material to vivid life' Observer Celebrity, with its neon glow and selfie pout, strikes us as hypermodern. But the famous and infamous have been thrilling, titillating, and outraging us for much longer than we might realise. Whether it was the scandalous Lord Byron, whose poetry sent female fans into an erotic frenzy; or the cheetah-owning, coffin-sleeping, one-legged French actress Sarah Bernhardt, who launched a violent feud with her former best friend; or Edmund Kean, the dazzling Shakespearean actor whose monstrous ego and terrible alcoholism saw him nearly murdered by his own audience - the list of stars whose careers burned bright before the Age of Television is extensive and thrillingly varied. In this ambitious history, that spans the Bronze Age to the coming of Hollywood's Golden Age, Greg Jenner assembles a vibrant cast of over 125 actors, singers, dancers, sportspeople, freaks, demigods, ruffians, and more, in search of celebrity's historical roots. He reveals why celebrity burst into life in the early eighteenth century, how it differs to ancient ideas of fame, the techniques through which it was acquired, how it was maintained, the effect it had on public tastes, and the psychological burden stardom could place on those in the glaring limelight. DEAD FAMOUS is a surprising, funny, and fascinating exploration of both a bygone age and how we came to inhabit our modern, fame obsessed society.
We have come to know that our ability to survive and grow as a nation to a very large degree depends upon our scientific progress. Moreover, it is not enough simply to keep 1 abreast of the rest of the world in scientific matters. We must maintain our leadership. President Harry Truman spoke those words in 1950, in the aftermath of World War II and in the midst of the Cold War. Indeed, the scientific and engineering leadership of the United States and its allies in the twentieth century played key roles in the successful outcomes of both World War II and the Cold War, sparing the world the twin horrors of fascism and totalitarian communism, and fueling the economic prosperity that followed. Today, as the United States and its allies once again find themselves at war, President Truman’s words ring as true as they did a half-century ago. The goal set out in the Truman Administration of maintaining leadership in science has remained the policy of the U. S. Government to this day: Dr. John Marburger, the Director of the Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) in the Executive Office of the President, made remarks to that effect during his 2 confirmation hearings in October 2001. The United States needs metrics for measuring its success in meeting this goal of maintaining leadership in science and technology. That is one of the reasons that the National Science Foundation (NSF) and many other agencies of the U. S.
