Harry Hopkins

Sudden Hero, Brash Reformer

By: NA NA,June Hopkins

From 1912 to 1940, social worker Harry Hopkins committed himself to the ideal of government responsibility for impoverished Americans. This look at Hopkins' life and social work career broadens our understanding of the political and cultural currents that led to the Social Security Act of 1935, the bedrock of the American welfare state. Hopkins' experiences as an advocate and administrator of work relief and widows' pensions in New York City during the Progressive Era informed his contribution to welfare legislation during the New Deal years. Written by his granddaughter June Hopkins, this book not only clarifies the emergence of welfare policy but sheds considerable light on the present welfare debate. It also illuminates the life of one of the most influential Americans of the twentieth century.

The Great American Swindle

By: June Naugle

The major lessons we are here to learn are written within the pages of Life's Lessons. What lessons do you need to learn? What are you struggling with? Do you lose yourself in relationships? We ponder life's journey, our part in it, and the big picture. When at these crossroads of life, whichever particular lesson or lessons being learned currently, ask Self some of the questions in the ponderments section. Have a talk, make a list to aide Self in moving through the lesson, be it metaphysical, spiritual or magical moments, which is driven within you to find. May you learn life's lessons more wisely. Relationship, blame, unconditional love, blessings, betrayal, gifts and loss are some of the most difficult roads we travel. Would you like a personal poem written about you? Your kids, spouse. Whatever the occasion, a personal poem is waiting for your lesson.

Skirting Traditions: Arizona Women Writers and Journalists 1912-2012

By: Brenda Kimsey Warneka,Carol Hughes,Lois McFarland,June P. Payne,Sheila Roe,Pam Knight Stevenson

Women who skirt traditions, whether on the frontier of a young state or in a male-dominated profession, have relied on resilience, creativity, and grit to survive…and to flourish. These short biographies of twenty-eight female writers and journalists from Arizona span the one hundred years since Arizona became the forty-eighth state in the Union. They capture the emotions, the monumental and often overlooked events, and the pioneering spirit of women whose lives are now part of Arizona history. The remarkable women profiled in this anthology made the trek to Arizona from the big cities of Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.; from the green hills of Wisconsin, and from backwater towns in Oklahoma and Pennsylvania; by covered wagon, automobile, and, later, airplane. They came with their parents or their husbands, or as single women, with and without children. They came seeking health in the sun-blessed dryness of the desert, a job, a better lifestyle. What these women had in common was their love of writing and journalism, and their ability to use the written word to earn a living, to argue a cause, and to promote the virtues, beauty, history, and people of the Southwest. The narratives in Skirting Traditions move forward from the beginning of statehood to the modern day, describing daring feats, patriotic actions, and amazing accomplishments. They are women you won't soon forget.

Sherlock Holmes: The Secret Archives

By: June Thomson

A mysterious veiled lady carries a counterfeit painting into an art dealer’s office. A widow with three hands slips out of a church door. A farmer lies dead in a barn, his son accused of his murder. A skeleton with a silver locket is unearthed in a back garden. What do they have in common? The famous resident of 221b Baker Street. Welsh countryside, the great detective Sherlock Holmes, accompanied as always by his faithful friend and biographer Dr Watson, must solve cases as complex as any he has known before, some of which bring him face to face with old enemies from the past, figures left behind in the mists of the Reichenbach Falls… A brand new cache of original cases from the brilliant imagination of June Thomson displays the master of the art of deduction at his intriguing best and proves that the game is still very much afoot. JUNE THOMSON, a former teacher, has published over thirty novels, twenty of which feature her series detective Inspector Jack Finch and his sergeant, Tom Boyce. She has also written six pastiche collections of Sherlock Holmes short stories. Her books have been translated into many languages. June Thomson lives in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

Encyclopedia of American Women and Religion [2 volumes]

[2 volumes]

By: June Melby Benowitz

This two-volume set examines women's contributions to religious and moral development in America, covering individual women, their faith-related organizations, and women's roles and experiences in the broader social and cultural contexts of their times. This second edition of Encyclopedia of American Women and Religion provides updated and expanded information from historians and other scholars of religion, covering new issues in religion to better describe and document women's roles within religious groups. For instance, the term "evangelical feminism" is one newly defined aspect of women's involvement in religious activism. Changes are constantly occurring within the many religious faiths and denominations in America, particularly as women strive to gain positions within religious hierarchies that previously were exclusive to men and rise within their denominations to become theologians, church leaders, and bishops. The entries examine the roles that American women have played in mainstream religious denominations, small religious sects, and non-traditional practices such as witchcraft, as well as in groups that question religious beliefs, including agnostics and atheists. A section containing primary documents gives readers a firsthand look at matters of concern to religious women and their organizations. Many of these documents are the writings of women who merit entries within the encyclopedia. Readers will gain an awareness of women's contributions to religious culture in America, from the colonial era to the present day, and better understand the many challenges that women have faced to achieve success in their religion-related endeavors.

Educating Able Learners

Programs and Promising Practices

By: June Cox,Neil Daniel,Bruce O. Boston

The text reports on findings of the Richardson study, a 4-year examination of current programing for gifted and talented students. An introductory chapter comments upon current attention to gifted education and summarizes reflections on home and school influences of MacArthur Fellows. Chapter 2 reviews results of a national survey of school districts' programing which touched upon such aspects as programing options, identification, grade levels, and written philosophy. The third chapter identifies five promising practices and describes examples of each: (1) internationally oriented education; (2) internships and mentor programs; (3) school and college collaboration; (4) summer programs geared to excellence; and (5) specialized schools. The final chapter presents recommendations regarding discovering and nurturing talent, providing for flexible pacing, and ensuring comprehensive programs. An imaginary district with an ideal program is cited. The Pyramid Project, a model Texas program, is discussed as an example of the study's recommendations. (Cl).
