The story of a family and their struggle to lead a safe and comfortable life in mid-twentieth century in America. The story begins in Montana but leads to Washington in the search for opportunity for Vic and Gina and their six children. Kermit was their fourth baby, and this book portrays his struggles to find peace and meaning in a tumultuous, sometimes terrifying, home. He finds peace and self-identity in travel as well as fulfillment in serving others. His quest leads him to two years of service in West Pakistan in the Peace corps, several trips to South America with World Gospel Mission, several work trips to Central America with Habitat for Humanity, and three trips to Kenya, volunteering for Kaimosi Friends University. He understands God has a special love for poor people, that's why he made so many of them. Though he studied agriculture at university, his major life's work was as a buyer in a business environment. He has purchasing experience in airplane manufacture, steel fabrication, and hospital supply. His story shares his desire to find satisfaction and fulfillment in hobbies, recreation, travel, and family life. He shares with the Psalmist, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear" (Ps. 46:1).

Ethics and Counterrevolution

American Involvement in Internal Wars

By: Kermit D. Johnson

This book is an ethical critique of U.S. policy and involvement in counterrevolutionary war. It rejects the thesis that the end of the Cold War means the end of revolution, since revolution is grounded in root causes. The defining characteristics of revolutionary war are outlined based on thought ranging from Mao Tse-tung to modern counterinsurgency theorists to recent U.S. national security directives and military publications. Underlying doctrines for U.S. interventions are traced from the Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary to Kennedy's Counterinsurgency Doctrine and the Nixon Doctrine. From previous U.S. war-fighting experience and declaratory policy, an outline of national policy and strategy for counterinsurgency emerges. This policy has been a formula for winning wars, not revolutions. The book advocates the adoption of a modest political Hippocratic oath of 'Do no harm' and argues that civiliization, demilitarization, and the root causes for revolution are necessary for the building of true democracy.

Leading With Emotion

Reaching Balance in Educational Decision Making

By: Kermit G. Buckner,James McDowelle

It is no surprise that successful school leaders have strong interpersonal skills. That they can communicate, motivate, resolve conflict, build teams, and persuade others at high levels is well documented by research. However, new research indicates that emotion plays a pivotal role in using these skills and there is a new awareness of the importance of the emotions in our behavior and decision-making. This book explains the research and concepts and places them in the nitty-gritty environment in which school leadership occurs. The exercise of leadership is analyzed through three conceptual frames: (1) The Leader, (2) Constituents, and (3) The Situation. Case studies, events taken from recent news, and behavioral and neurological research are described to illustrate the importance of emotions in leadership. Each chapter closes with a statement of five fundamental facts to aid the reader in integrating and applying the information to his or her situation. It will also enable readers to know and manage their own emotional stability and engender emotional awareness and assurance in others.

Bigger Isn't Necessarily Better

Lessons from the Harvard Home Builder Study

By: Frederick Abernathy,Kermit Baker,Kent Colton,David Weil

Bigger Isn’t Necessarily Better examines the performance and operation of the US homebuilding sector based on a detailed survey of large home builders conducted by the authors in the period of the great building boom of the 2000s. In contrast to the many books that have focused on the financial side of the housing sector prior to the Great Recession, the book examines the operational side of the industry and what did, and, more importantly, what did not, happen during the period of unprecedented growth. Despite the rise of very large, national homebuilders during the boom years from 1999 to 2005 and the consolidation of the industry that accompanied it, the authors find that major homebuilders often did not adopt innovations in areas ranging from information technology, supply chain practices, and work site management, nor improve their operational performance. Given this, the book discusses what homebuilders can learn from other industries as they face a challenging future.

Signaling and the Cytoskeleton

By: Kermit L. Carraway,Coralie A. C. Carraway,Kermit L. III Carraway

This monograph explores the relationships between cell signaling and the cytoplasmic cytoskeleton in fundamental cell processes, thus bridging the gap between two very active aspects of molecular cell biology. It covers the two main - and reciprocal - questions of these relationships: How are structure and function of the cytoskeleton affected by external signals which impinge on the cell? How does the cytoskeleton influence the cellular signaling processes which determine cell behavior?
