Unruly Women

The Politics of Confinement & Resistance

By: Karlene Faith

Winner of the VanCity Book Prize, Unruly Women: The Politics of Confinement & Resistance is the seminal book about women’s imprisonment that helped spark examinations around the world into the special circumstances women face in prison, as well as the sex and gender crimes that get them there. Most women who are incarcerated do not pose a danger to society but transgress patriarchal, capitalist norms that seek to control their bodies and choices, as seen in the case of prostitution and prosecutions of pregnant women for risky behaviors. Further, the majority of women who enter the criminal justice system have been victims of violence, which raises questions about the continuum from victimization to criminalization. Unruly Women explores patterns of female crimes and punishments, from the witch hunts to the present; institutionalized violence and sexual abuse against incarcerated women; women loving women in prison; motherhood inside prison; battered woman syndrome; Hollywood’s formulaic women-in-prison films; political education in prisons; and acts of resistance, inside and out. Karlene Faith challenges misconceptions of "deviant" women, and celebrates the unruly woman: the unmanageable woman who claims her own body, and who cannot be silenced. As the "drug war" wages on, riddled with excessive and inequitable prison sentences; the incarcerated population skyrockets toward 2.5 million (up from less than 200,000 nationwide in 1970); and private prisons burgeon around the coasts, now is a critical moment to educate ourselves about what is at stake with our prison system. Faith’s incisive work causes us to question the usefulness of the forced confinement and surveillance of mostly nonviolent people.

Women and Warfare in the Ancient World

Virgins, Viragos and Amazons

By: Karlene Jones-Bley

Explores mythological, legendary, archaeological, and historical evidence of women in a military setting. Women and Warfare in the Ancient World presents a broad view of women and female figures involved in war in the ancient world, incorporating mythological, legendary, archaeological, and historical evidence for women in a military setting. Within this context are found not only fighters but also strategists, trainers, and leaders who may not have been on the actual battlefield. Exploring women and war within the Indo-European and Near Eastern worlds, this title seeks to challenge the view that women do not fight and that war is completely a male occupation – a view expressed as early as Xenophon and as late as the end of the 20th century. Karlene Jones-Bley begins her study by defining Virgins, Viragos, and Amazons, going on to explore war goddesses, legendary, and historical women giving insights into different cultures, their attitudes towards women and how these have developed over time. Recent archaeological evidence supports her conclusions that women have always been a part of warfare.

Fundraising for Academic Libraries

A Practical Guide for Librarians

By: Karlene Noel Jennings,Joyce Garczynski

With more universities facing financial difficulty and academic libraries being asked to do more with less, fundraising has been transformed from a luxury to a necessity. Now, more than ever, academic libraries need to know how to effectively obtain and steward donors. Most fundraising books are written from perspectives that are not always relevant to the complex environment that academic libraries must navigate. Fundraising for Academic Libraries: A Practical Guide for Librarian is written just for academic libraries. The authors demystify fundraising to enable those to work in an academic library to feel confident in their ability to obtain contributions, sponsorships, and grants for their libraries. From major gifts to events to special collections, this book looks at academic library fundraising holistically. Not a one-size-fits-all approach, chapters explore multiple methods that an academic library can use to identify potential donors, ask for gifts, and retain existing contributors. This book also connects readers with extensive fundraising resources so they can readily apply the book’s tips and techniques to their own library environment. Whether they are interested in approaching a local business to provide a prize for a silent auction or asking for an established donor for an estate gift, novice academic library fundraisers will find step-by-step instructions that help them navigate a variety of situations. By providing readers with practical fundraising tools including flow charts, simple proposal and gift templates as well as sample donor correspondence, this book enables academic libraries to be able to start and advance their own development programs.

The Metabolic Syndrome Program includes: Facts about MSX, the risk factors associated with it and its impact on your overall health The role of nutrition in combating MSX The truth about fats, carbs and proteins and the balance needed to maintain optimal health All the latest research on insulin resistance, Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension and Cardiovascular disease-the worst outcomes of metabolic syndrome Detailed information on natural supplements that can be used to combat the risk factors of MSX Recipes and meal plans that will help you make the immediate lifestyle changes required if you are one of the millions at risk for MSX "Karlene Karst has done an excellent job outlining the seriousness of obesity and insulin resistance, and their ensuing complications,while providing a nutrition and lifestyle action plan to help you get back to the basics of good health." --Sam Graci, author of the Path to Phenomenal Health and The Food Connection "The Metabolic Syndrome Program provides an effective comprehensive solution by detailing a clear, rational approach to a complex topic." --Michael T.

You Can Rise Up

By: Karlene Stewart

Many of us strive for healing and release in our lives. We want to be more fulfilled and at peace. We want to rise up above struggles and pain and become a better person! Get an insight into how this may be possible, in this Christian fiction novel from Karlene Stewart called You Can Rise Up. In this fictional autobiography, learn how a young, beautiful, strong-willed girl named Carla Henderson falls to the guile and charm of a misguided young man who is four years her senior. While Carla is clearly tricked by her seducer, the author conveys how Carla's reckless behavior and disregard for authority is what steers her into the hands of her villain and along a self-destructive path. As we read how Carla's life unfolds, get insight into the dramatic benefits of doing what is right and turning to God as a source of guidance. This book is built around two very clear concepts: choose the safer, more righteous path in life; and Release your negative past and find peace again. As we journey through Carla Henderson's life, we also see ways in which we can improve our own life, starting with self-analysis and being honest with ourselves about what works well and what areas need to change. This book also highlights the importance of forgiving yourself, releasing the past and seeking guidance through a higher power. If you or someone you know have been through many bad circumstances, low after low, and you wonder how can anyone come back from all that, read You Can Rise Up and learn how it is possible to start the process of healing and start life afresh. Forgive yourself and overcome past pains.
