The Horse That Bart Built

By: Helen Thomas

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

So You Think's incredible journey. As a youngster, So You Think caught the eye of Australia’s legendary trainer Bart Cummings. He liked the future he saw in his gangly frame, and soon, So You Think captivated Australasia with his rockstar good looks, his brilliance and strength. As a three-year-old, and at just his fifth race start, he led all the way to win the prestigious W.S. Cox Plate. A year later, he became the only horse to win the race as a three- and four-year-old. So You Think was so good, eventually breeding giant Coolmore made an offer too big to refuse. The sale saw the horse taken from Bart’s stable in Melbourne and transferred to Aidan O’Brien’s Ballydoyle in Ireland, in a move that stunned the nation. Today, he’s the most successful Australasian thoroughbred to grace the international stage. But wherever he goes, he is always the horse from Down Under . . . the horse that Bart built.

Public Markets and Civic Culture in Nineteenth-Century America

Public Markets and Civic Culture in Nineteenth-Century America

By: Helen Tangires

Originally published in 2003. In Public Markets and Civic Culture in Nineteenth-Century America Helen Tangires examines the role of the public marketplace—social and architectural—as a key site in the development of civic culture in America. More than simply places for buying and selling food, Tangires explains, municipally owned and operated markets were the common ground where citizens and government struggled to define the shared values of the community. Public markets were vital to civic policy and reflected the profound belief in the moral economy—the effort on the part of the municipality to maintain the social and political health of its community by regulating the ethics of trade in the urban marketplace for food. Tangires begins with the social, architectural, and regulatory components of the public market in the early republic, when cities embraced this ancient system of urban food distribution. By midcentury, the legalization of butcher shops in New York City and the incorporation of market house companies in Pennsylvania challenged the system and hastened the deregulation of this public service. Some cities demolished their marketing facilities or loosened restrictions on the food trades in an effort to deal with the privatization movement. However, several decades of experience with dispersed retailers, suburban slaughterhouses, and food transported by railroad proved disastrous to the public welfare, prompting cities and federal agencies to reclaim this urban civic space.

The Indian Reform Letters of Helen Hunt Jackson, 1879–1885

The Indian Reform Letters of Helen Hunt Jackson, 1879–1885

By: Helen Hunt Jackson

Helen Hunt Jackson’s passionate crusade for Indian rights comes to life in this collection of more than 200 letters, most of which have never been published before. With Valerie Sherer Mathes’s helpful notes, the letters reveal the behind-the-scenes drama of Jackson’s involvement in Indian reform, which led her to write A Century of Dishonor and her protest novel, Ramona. Ralph Waldo Emerson described Jackson as the "greatest American woman poet." These stirring letters will intrigue anyone interested in Indian affairs, nineteenth-century women’s studies, or the social history of Victorian America, where Jackson made her mark despite the restrictions on women. Among her correspondents were Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Moncure D. Conway, Henry B. Whipple, Henry L. Dawes, Henry Teller, Carl Schurz, and of course, commissioners of Indian affairs and such prominent editors as Whitelaw Reid, Charles Dudley Warner, and Richard Watson Gilder. The letters are presented in sections on the Ponca and Mission Indian causes, allowing readers to focus on the time period and Indian group of choice.

How Different are We?

Spoken Discourse in Intercultural Communication : the Significance of the Situational Context

By: Helen Fitzgerald

This book examines the influence of cultural values and communication styles on intercultural communication and demonstrates how training can develop intercultural communication competencies. A large number of interactions between well-educated immigrants from all continents and from more than a hundred countries, together with some including native speakers, are examined and participants' answers to questionnaires compared with their actual communicative behaviour. The author raises questions of interest to many groups: linguists, educators, business people and sociologists. Which values are most salient and enduring, and which cause clashes between cultural groups? To what extent do people retain the communication style identified with their first language and how do these different styles impact on others?

Occupational Strain and Efficacy in Human Service Workers

When the Rescuer Becomes the Victim

Occupational Strain and Efficacy in Human Service Workers

When the Rescuer Becomes the Victim

By: M. Dollard,Helen R. Winefield,A. Winefield

Workers in the human services face some of society's most challenging situations every day. Poverty, violence, mental illness, addiction and self-harm - experienced on an intimate scale - are all part of an expected routine along with constant administrative and technical workloads. Human service workers' decisions affect the lives of some of society's most disadvantaged: children, poor, the aged and those in secure care. These workers have to decide whether or not to remove children from their parents, who should receive scant resources, and how best to counsel people in severe difficulty, including domestic violence and abusive situations. This book shows how one large human service organisation systematically investigated the occupational strain and efficacy of its workforce, leading to a rational intervention plan which was broadly supported by management and workers alike. It is an essential text for those involved in the development of human service policy and the management of social workers, counsellors, youth workers, and psychologists. Human service practitioners and those interested in organisational development and in the engineering of a human service work environment, that is both healthy and productive, will also find the book of immense value. Using a participatory action research design, this book fills a gap in the literature, exploring both academic and local theory in the development of an intervention plan to reduce occupational strain, and enhance efficacy.
