My Story

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Michele Bachmann is one of the most compelling leaders in America. But despite all the magazine covers and cable television stories, most people don't know who she really is, where she comes from, or what she believes. So she decided to tell her own story and let the reader decide. As you'll learn in this fascinating memoir, Bachmann wasn't the type of kid who started dreaming about the White House in elementary school. She grew up in Iowa and Minnesota as a typical midwestern girl, grounded by her family and her faith. She was raised to believe in the American dream: that anyone could succeed if they worked hard and took advantage of this country's boundless opportunities. She followed her dreams to college and law school, pursued a career as a federal tax attorney, started a successful business with her loving husband, raised five great kids and (over time) twenty-three foster children. By her early forties she was very happy as a full-time mom and homemaker and was a leading education reform advocate in Minnesota. Then she became what she calls "an accidental politician." The political insiders who ran Minnesota held a one-party line-Al Franken-style liberalism. Bachmann became especially concerned about a state-mandated education curriculum that stressed political correctness over academic excellence. She started making calls, writing letters, and recruiting others to act. When her state senator (an entrenched insider) refused to listen, someone had to challenge him for his seat. No one else volunteered, so Bachmann jumped in-and won. That was the start of an amazing journey from obscurity to the state senate, to the U.S. Congress, to an underdog campaign for president. Along the way her style has been consistent. She says what she means and she does it. She is the rare political figure who fights for her beliefs. She speaks from the heart, with common sense about limited government, the sanctity of life and marriage, the power of free enterprise, and the need to confront America's enemies. She also talks about putting principles above partisanship, even if that means ruffling the feathers of the Republican elite. As Bachmann puts it, the Republican coalition is traditionally a "three-legged stool"-economic conservatives, social conservatives, and national security conservatives. Like Ronald Reagan, she represents all three groups. And in addition, as the founder of the Tea Party caucus in Congress, Bachmann considers the Tea Party the dynamic fourth leg of the coalition, in support of a return to constitutional conservatism. This book will show you why Michele Bachmann believes ordinary people can take on the establishment and win. "Armed with values and faith, supported by family and fellow citizens, together we can do much. We can secure what people are yearning for-the chance to take our country back. Just watch.

The Conservation of Medieval Polychrome Wood Sculpture

History, Theory, Practice

By: Michele D. Marincola,Lucretia Kargère

The first English-language book to comprehensively discuss the history and methodology of conserving medieval polychrome wood sculpture. Medieval polychrome wood sculptures are highly complex objects, bearers of histories that begin with their original carving and adornment and continue through long centuries of repainting, deterioration, restoration, and conservation. Abundantly illustrated, this book is the first in English to offer a comprehensive overview of the conservation of medieval painted wood sculpture for conservators, curators, and others charged with their care. Beginning with an illuminating discussion of the history, techniques, and meanings of these works, it continues with their examination and documentation, including chapters on the identification of both the wooden support and the polychromy itself—the paint layers, metal leaf, and other materials used for these sculptures. The volume also covers the many aspects of treatment: the process of determining the best approach; consolidation and adhesion of paint, ground, and support; overpaint removal and surface cleaning; and compensation. Four case studies on artworks in the collection of The Cloisters in New York, a comprehensive bibliography, and a checklist to aid in documentation complement the text.

The Oxford Handbook of Political Consumerism

By: Magnus Boström,Michele Micheletti,Peter Oosterveer

The global phenomenon of political consumerism is known through such diverse manifestations as corporate boycotts, increased preferences for organic and fairtrade products, and lifestyle choices such as veganism. It has also become an area of increasing research across a variety of disciplines. Political consumerism uses consumer power to change institutional or market practices that are found ethically, environmentally, or politically objectionable. Through such actions, the goods offered on the consumer market are problematized and politicized. Distinctions between consumers and citizens and between the economy and politics collapse. The Oxford Handbook of Political Consumerism offers the first comprehensive theoretical and comparative overview of the ways in which the market becomes a political arena. It maps the four major forms of political consumerism: boycotting, buycotting (spending to show support), lifestyle politics, and discursive actions, such as culture jamming. Chapters by leading scholars examine political consumerism in different locations and industry sectors, and in consideration of environmental and human rights problems, political events, and the ethics of production and manufacturing practices. This volume offers a thorough exploration of the phenomenon and its myriad dilemmas, involving religion, race, nationalism, gender relations, animals, and our common future. Moreover, the Handbook takes stock of political consumerism's effectiveness in solving complex global problems and its use to both promote and impede democracy.

Women in the Club

Gender and Policy Making in the Senate

Women in the Club

Gender and Policy Making in the Senate

By: Michele L. Swers

In the run-up to the 2012 presidential election, Democrats and Republicans were locked in a fierce battle for the female vote. Democrats charged Republicans with waging a “war on women,” while Republicans countered that Democratic policies actually undermined women’s rights. The women of the Senate wielded particular power, planning press conferences, appearing on political programs, and taking to the Senate floor over gender-related issues such as workplace equality and reproductive rights. The first book to examine the impact of gender differences in the Senate, Women in the Club is an eye-opening exploration of how women are influencing policy and politics in this erstwhile male bastion of power. Gender, Michele L. Swers shows, is a fundamental factor for women in the Senate, interacting with both party affiliation and individual ideology to shape priorities on policy. Women, for example, are more active proponents of social welfare and women’s rights. But the effects of gender extend beyond mere policy preferences. Senators also develop their priorities with an eye to managing voter expectations about their expertise and advancing their party’s position on a given issue. The election of women in increasing numbers has also coincided with the evolution of the Senate as a highly partisan institution. The stark differences between the parties on issues pertaining to gender have meant that Democratic and Republican senators often assume very different roles as they reconcile their policy views on gender issues with the desire to act as members of partisan teams championing or defending their party’s record in an effort to reach various groups of voters.

The NeuroMuscular System: From Earth to Space Life Science

Neuromuscular Cell Signalling in Disuse and Exercise

By: Dieter Blottner,Michele Salanova

The book provides fundamental new insights in the structure and function of the healthy NeuroMuscular system. Recent findings suggest that the musculoskeletal system that supports movement control on Earth is controlled by unique principles of structural, biochemical and molecular characteristics. Mechanical loading by working against normal gravity helps to support principal structures in bone, muscle and associated subcellular scaffold components. Disuse or immobilization of the body in bed rest on Earth or in microgravity in Space result in considerable loss of bone, muscle and force with downregulation of neuromuscular activity resulting in impaired performance control. The goal is to develop exercise prescriptions to maintain postural control in normal life, aging and rehabilitation on Earth as well as for an adequate human performance management in Space.

Geometry

By: Michele Audin

Geometry, this very ancient field of study of mathematics, frequently remains too little familiar to students. Michle Audin, professor at the University of Strasbourg, has written a book allowing them to remedy this situation and, starting from linear algebra, extend their knowledge of affine, Euclidean and projective geometry, conic sections and quadrics, curves and surfaces. It includes many nice theorems like the nine-point circle, Feuerbach's theorem, and so on. Everything is presented clearly and rigourously. Each property is proved, examples and exercises illustrate the course content perfectly. Precise hints for most of the exercises are provided at the end of the book. This very comprehensive text is addressed to students at upper undergraduate and Master's level to discover geometry and deepen their knowledge and understanding.

It should also be a well-worn tool in every implementation scientist’s toolkit. –Heather Schacht Reisinger, PhD Professor, Department of Internal Medicine Associate Director for Engagement, Integration and Implementation Institute for Clinical and Translational Science, University of Iowa Translate knowledge, research, and clinical expertise into action. The biggest barrier to effective evidence-based practice (EBP) is the failure to effectively translate available knowledge, research, and clinical expertise into action. This failure is rarely due to lack of information, understanding, or experience. In fact, it usually comes down to a simple lack of tools and absence of a clear plan to integrate EBP into care. Problem solved: Evidence-Based Practice in Action, Second Edition, is a time-tested, application-oriented EBP resource for any EBP process model and is organized based on The Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excellence in Health Care.

To view sample chapters and more information visit www.whfreeman.com/SABiologyPreview All of us involved in science education understand the importance of scientific literacy. How do we get the attention of a nonscientist? And if we can get it, how do we keep it - not only for the duration of the course or the chapter in a textbook but beyond? How do we convey in our courses and our textbooks not just what we know but also how science is done? These are the challenges we hope to address with our new series of textbooks specifically for the nonscientist. With this series, W. H. Freeman and Scientific American join forces not just to engage nonscientists but to equip them critical life tools.

Karl-Otto Apel. Vita e Pensiero. Leben und Denken

By: Michele Borrelli,Francesca Caputo,Reinhard Hesse

Questo volume complessivo, unico, dedicato alla Vita e al Pensiero di Karl-Otto Apel, raccoglie tutti i contributi usciti nei due numeri speciali di “Topologik” (numero 24/2019 e numero 26/2020) dedicati ad Apel (uno dei Maestri più importanti del pensiero filosofico contemporaneo). L’edizione, in volume unico, ha dato la possibilità di arricchire il testo con altre due collaborazioni (quella di Peter Naumann e Amos Nascimento). Il volume mantiene la struttura di una suddivisione in due sezioni: sezione Vita e sezione Pensiero. La prima sezione (Vita) raccoglie contributi che sono testimonianza di incontri, discussioni, riflessioni comuni con Karl-Otto Apel. L’aspetto teorico-filosofico e l’aspetto personale ridanno la freschezza e la profondità di queste testimonianze. Quanti hanno conosciuto e sono diventati anche amici di Apel hanno vissuto il logos filosofico nella sua ampiezza riflessiva in simbiosi con un uomo che, a parere di Habermas (l’altro Gigante, colonna portante della filosofia contemporanea), incorpora la stessa filosofia. Hanno vissuto la forza discorsiva di una personalità che ha fatto del dialogo la fonte instancabile della ricerca intersoggettiva. Vita e Pensiero non sono due sezioni separate e separabili, sono piuttosto la messa in evidenza che il filosofare vero si costituisce nell’unità, appunto, di Vita e Pensiero: nel vivere la filosofia. La seconda sezione (Pensiero) ‒ Molti sono, nel frattempo, gli studi internazionali sul pensiero di Karl-Otto Apel. La raccolta dei contributi e delle riflessioni che qui presentiamo è un esempio mondiale della vitalità e fruttuosità del pensiero di Karl-Otto Apel. Studiosi diversi, da angolazioni e prospettive tutt’altro che identiche, si confrontano criticamente con la pragmatica trascendentale di Apel, sia come proposta di possibilità di fondazione teoretica sia come piattaforma applicativa ai contesti reali della vita umana. Questo volume unitario presenta e rappresenta un dialogo filosofico serrato, ricco di riflessioni aggiuntive e alternative, a testimonianza delle motivazioni profonde che Karl-Otto Apel, con la sua trasformazione trascendentalpragmatica della filosofia occidentale, ha saputo suscitare mondialmente. L’etica del discorso, nella sua forma, qui, riflessiva, pragmatica, trascendentale, ermeneutica, semiotica, non è solo un modo nuovo e originale di concepire la filosofia dell’Occidente, nella sua trasformazione in terzo paradigma della filosofia prima; l’etica del discorso è, anche e per lo più, un pensare filosofico radicale di riappropriazione dei propri presupposti (anche linguistici) fin nelle loro radici normative (performative), se non emancipative, per una pragmatica etica che reclama, per un verso, fondamento (discorsivo) e universalità, possibilmente (intersoggettiva), per altro verso, capacità di applicazione nei contesti anche dell’economia (globalizzata), del diritto dei Popoli e delle Culture. La filosofia, così concepita, non è ovviamente solo critica al concetto, piuttosto una discorsività in cerca di significato, comprensione, senso che coinvolga la prassi attraverso un dialogo esteso a tutti i popoli.
