Valley of Shadows

By: Lois Chisholm

Cassie despised rudeness. Every new job brought challenges. She discovered the parents often needed more training than the children. The nanny wanted no sympathy for her scars. Her aunt and a three-legged cat had taught her to love. She simply wanted people to respect others. She had a way to get their attention. Madam wishes to speak with you, Melvin said in his stiff way. Cassie brought the child down the front stairs. She passed through the elaborate dining room and entered the kitchen. She left the upstairs maid to watch Joey. Yes, Madam. She stood close to the pompous woman. I see the uniforms fit nicely. We do prefer starch, but we can overlook that. However, that hairthat hair. You must do something with it! The uncaring attitude was more than Cassie could take. She reached to the crown of her head, yanking the wig upward. In a flash, it was extended at the end of the nannys long arm. Herewhat shall I do with it? She went to care for the child, while the butler and maid revived Madam.

The Education of a WASP

By: Lois M. Stalvey

Brimming with honestly and passion, The Education of a WASP chronicles one white woman's discovery of racism in 1960s America. First published in 1970 and highly acclaimed by reviewers, Lois Stalvey's account is as timely now as it was then. Nearly twenty years later, with ugly racial incidents occurring on college campuses, in neighborhoods, and in workplaces everywhere, her account of personal encounters with racism remains deeply disturbing. Educators and general readers interested in the subtleties of racism will find the story poignant, revealing, and profoundly moving. “Delightful and horrible, a singular book.” —Choice “An extraordinarily honest and revealing book that poses the issue: loyalty to one’s ethnic group or loyalty to conscience.” —Publishers Weekly

Trailing the Schoolchildren's Blizzard

By: B. Lois Thieszen Preheim

This is a story of the January 12, 1888 blizzard as experienced by families living in ten locations along the storm’s route. The storm struck suddenly and caught people off guard as it trailed through the Great Plains of Canada, the United States, and Territories. Many found ingenious ways to reach safety and/or pass the time while waiting for the storm to subside. Family stories are capsulized in a poem preceding the ten stand-alone chapters. Tying the chapters together is the common thread of experiencing the storm’s fury. People of all ages will identify with elements of decision-making.

Strategic Appraisal

The Changing Role of Information in Warfare

By: Zalmay Khalilzad,Tom LaTourrette,David E. Mosher,Lois M. Davis,David R. Howell,Barbara Raymond

Advances in information technology have led us to rely on easy communication and readily available information--both in our personal lives and in the life of our nation. For the most part, we have rightly welcomed these changes. But information that is readily available is available to friend and foe alike; a system that relies on communication can become useless if its ability to communicate is interfered with or destroyed. Because this reliance is so general, attacks on the information infrastructure can have widespread effects, both for the military and for society. And such attacks can come from a variety of sources, some difficult or impossible to identify. This, the third volume in the Strategic Appraisal series, draws on the expertise of researchers from across RAND to explore the opportunities and vulnerabilities inherent in the increasing reliance on information technology, looking both at its usefulness to the warrior and the need to protect its usefulness for everyone. The Strategic Appraisal series is intended to review, for a broad audience, issues bearing on national security and defense planning.
