As the recession of 2008 looms, Richard Deatherage faces the daunting realization that his 30-year drafting career may soon come to an end. With the advent of computer-aided drafting (CAD) technology taking center stage in 21st-century architectural design, his beloved art of hand-drafting with a lead pencil seems destined for obsolescence. However, for Richard, this isn’t just a matter of losing a job – it’s the loss of a passion that has driven him for decades. Yet, he discovers that the diversities that shaped his character and strengths over a lifetime of experience can still be drawn upon to find a new path towards fulfillment. In this inspiring memoir, Richard shares his journey of coming to terms with a changing industry, and how he tapped into the resilience and creativity that he had developed over the years to carve out a new niche for himself. With a candid and insightful voice, he shows how, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, one can continue to pursue their passions and find joy in their work. For anyone facing the upheaval of a changing industry or struggling to find their place in the workforce, Richard’s story serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder that with determination and a willingness to adapt, one can thrive even in the face of adversity.

The Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble and R. Winston Morris

A 40th Anniversary Retrospective

By: Charles A. McAdams,Richard H. Perry

The Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble (TTTE) is one of the most successful performing collegiate ensembles in history, with an enviable record of 25 recording projects, seven Carnegie Hall appearances, two World's Fairs performances, numerous national and international conference engagements, and a performance history in venues like Preservation Hall in New Orleans, the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, and the Kennedy Center in Washington. The Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble and R. Winston Morris: A 40th Anniversary Retrospective lists all of these events and more. It tells how Morris founded an ensemble comprised only of tubas and euphoniums (the "underdogs" of the orchestra) and catapulted it to international recognition, establishing and defining the standards for tuba ensemble performance practices and creating a monumental influence on both the tuba and music education throughout the world. The book provides a biography of Morris that includes the influences that led to the development of the TTTE, and it describes the early years of the ensemble and its development as one of the most recognizable groups of its kind. Several lists of reference information specific to Morris and the group—and general to tuba and euphonium music—are offered. Details about concerts, performances, activities, and recordings of the ensemble are presented, as well as recordings, awards, honors, and publications by Morris. Former members of the group are listed and pictured in more than 85 photos comprising a photographic history. Winston and the TTTE are responsible for the composition and arrangement of more music for the tuba than any other single source, and a comprehensive list of those works is supplied here.

The Great Kentucky Tragedy & My Old Kentucky Plays, II

By: Richard Cavendish

Six Kentucky historical dramas, too This “murder for love” story charmed the world with its great lure for romanticism. In 1825, Solomon P. Sharp, a promising politician in Frankfort, Kentucky, was murdered at his doorstop by the apprentice that idolized him. Jereboam O. Beauchamp claimed he was defending the honor of his wife, Anna Cooke, who accused Sharp of fathering her child and abandoning her; both were executed and buried in the same grave. Songs, poems, novels, and plays responded around the globe. Even Edgar Allan Poe tried his hand at it in his drama Politian, but to safeguard himself changed the names, setting, date, and title. Its fiction failed to interest Poe and his public. Now, The Kentucky Tragedy, as it was known, can appear as Poe had dreamed it. BOTHERUM An old farmhouse, mid-Nineteenth Century Lexington, Kentucky. Widower Madison Conyers Johs purchases a farm with an unexpected enslaved family. Conyers, brother-in-law of abolitionist Cassius M. Clay, and the enslaved foreman overcome the situations that separate them, and develop a lasting friendship that surpasses social position and race. Two Kentucky Gentlemen of the Old School. BEATING THE DARK HOME Dressing room of the Pekin Theater in Chicago, 1906. Vaudeville performers Amos and Andy Tribble confront one another with their love and hatred of the stage. While Amos returns to the farm, Andy is left to reinvent his stage presence or lose it. DAY OF RELEASEMENT Shaker Village, Harrodsburg, Kentucky 1812 and 1999. Enslaved servant Patsy Williamson is not only gifted with freedom and equality at Shaker Village, but also with spiritual songs — music that connects her to the love of Andy, separated from her by almost two hundred years. These star - crossed lovers discover a hidden portal to bring them together: their music. Pioneer Christmas in Kentucky The Old Log Meeting House, on the road to the first county seat of Madison County, Kentucky, Christmas 1788. The residents of Milford unite with a plot to stop a group of marauding and murdering bandits. Moon Above Benson Valley Two taverns during Prohibition, one below the town belonging to John Fallis, the murderous and radical “King of Craw,” and the other atop Bald Knob, belonging to the low key, compliant, ever - bachelor William Vest, collide in the unsolved murder of an Italian immigrant.

Not Without Honor

The History of American Anticommunism

Not Without Honor

The History of American Anticommunism

By: Richard Gid Powers

The American anticommunist movement has been viewed as a product of right-wing hysteria that deeply scarred our society and institutions. This book restores the struggle against communism to its historic place in American life. Richard Gid Powers shows that McCarthyism, red-baiting, and black-listing were only one aspect of this struggle and that the movement was in fact composed of a wide range of Americans--Jews, Protestants, blacks, Catholics, Socialists, union leaders, businessmen, and conservatives--whose ideas and political initiatives were rooted not in ignorance and fear but in real knowledge and experience of the Communist system. "Not Without Power is superbly written and richly detailed. Perceptive and thoughtful, it is an impressively thorough and valuable book."--David J. Garrow "One of the contributions of [Powers's] provocative narrative history is to bring to life certain segments of anti-Communist opinion that have largely been forgotten."--Sean Wilentz, New York Times Book Review "[Powers] makes extensive use of primary sources and uncovers much that is new. He vividly recreates the complex relationships within and between several ethnic and radical communities within the United States, including their firsthand and often disillusioning experience with communism. . . . The depth and range of his work add a great deal to knowledge."--Journal of American History "A valuable, well-executed study and summation of a vast topic, one whose various threads the author has woven into a rich tapestry."--Richard M. Fried, Reviews in American History

Term Limits in State Legislatures

By: John M. Carey,Richard G. Niemi,Lynda W. Powell

It has been predicted that term limits in state legislatures--soon to be in effect in eighteen states--will first affect the composition of the legislatures, next the behavior of legislators, and finally legislatures as institutions. The studies in Term Limits in State Legislatures demonstrate that term limits have had considerably less effect on state legislatures than proponents predicted. The term-limit movement--designed to limit the maximum time a legislator can serve in office--swept through the states like wildfire in the first half of the 1990s. By November 2000, state legislators will have been "term limited out" in eleven states. This book is based on a survey of nearly 3,000 legislators from all fifty states along with intensive interviews with twenty-two legislative leaders in four term-limited states. The data were collected as term limits were just beginning to take effect in order to capture anticipatory effects of the reform, which set in as soon as term limit laws were passed. In order to understand the effects of term limits on the broader electoral arena, the authors also examine data on advancement of legislators between houses of state legislatures and from the state legislatures to Congress. The results show that there are no systematic differences between term limit and non-term limit states in the composition of the legislature (e.g., professional backgrounds, demographics, ideology). Yet with respect to legislative behavior, term limits decrease the time legislators devote to securing pork and heighten the priority they place on the needs of the state and on the demands of conscience relative to district interests. At the same time, with respect to the legislature as an institution, term limits appear to be redistributing power away from majority party leaders and toward governors and possibly legislative staffers. This book will be of interest both to political scientists, policymakers, and activists involved in state politics. John M. Carey is Assistant Professor of Political Science, Washington University in St. Louis. Richard G. Niemi is Professor of Political Science, University of Rochester. Lynda W. Powell is Professor of Political Science, University of Rochester.

Intersensory Perception and Sensory Integration

Intersensory Perception and Sensory Integration

By: Richard D. Walk,Herbert L. Pick

This volume on intersensory perception and sensory integration is the second volume of the series, Perception and Perceptual Development: A Critical Review Series. The topic of the volume is timely, for in recent years, many investigators have noted that information about any natural event is obtained by a perceiver from a variety of sources. Such an observation immediately leads to the question of how this information is synthesized and organized. Of course, the implication that there are several discrete input channels that must be processed has come under immediate attack by researchers such as the Gibsons. They find it extremely artificial to regard natural information as being cut up and requiring cementing. Nevertheless, the possibility that during ontogene sis, perception involves the integration of separate information has attracted the attention of scholars concerned with both normal and abnormal development. In the case of normal development, a lively controversy has arisen between those who believe perceptual develop ment goes from integration toward differentiation and those who hold the opposite view. In the case of abnormal psychological development such as learning disabilities, many workers have suggested that percep tual integration is at fault. In thinking about the issues raised in this volume, we are particularly indebted to our former teachers and colleagues: Eleanor and James Gibson, T. A. Ryan, Robert B. MacLeod, and Jerome Bruner. We are pleased to acknowledge the secretarial help of Karen Weeks in the preparation of this volume.

Mindfulness-Based Intervention Research

Characteristics, Approaches, and Developments

By: Christian U. Krägeloh,Marcus A. Henning,Oleg Medvedev,Xuan Joanna Feng,Fiona Moir,Rex Billington,Richard J. Siegert

This book provides an outline and critical discussion of the characteristics of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) research. Since the first reports on the use of mindfulness practices in health interventions, a large body of research literature has emerged to document the effectiveness of MBIs for reducing psychological distress and to increase well-being. The integration of mindfulness into very diverse psychological theories makes it a unique concept in psychology that has generated a large amount of interest both in academic research but also the broader media. With this growing literature, mindfulness researchers have also recognised the need to be more critical of its developments, such as how MBIs are presented to the public or what types of research methods are used to test claims of an MBI’s effectiveness. This book examines the large variety of approaches in which MBIs have been studied, including an outline of the philosophical underpinnings of MBI research, definition and measurement of mindfulness, the use of qualitative and quantitative research methods, research design, and research that addresses cultural and religious factors. The book contributes to increased awareness of the current direction of MBI research and thus seeks to contribute to further methodological refinement and sophistication of the research field. This book on the characteristics of research on MBIs is a must read for any researcher or practitioner interested in this fascinating topic.

HPV and Other Infectious Agents in Cancer

Opportunities for Prevention and Public Health

By: Hans Krueger,Gavin Stuart,Richard Gallagher,Dan Williams

After considering the aging population in developed countries, it has become clear to physicians and public policy administrators that prevention of cancer must play a more important role in national anti-cancer policy than it has in the past. The recent introduction of an HPV vaccine, coupled with discoveries concerning the relationship of H. pylori and cancer has brought the role of infectious agents in cancer into sharp focus in the medical community. While interest in the subject has grown, no single source existed to bring clinicians up-to-date on developments in disease mechanisms, population-based risk assessment and policy considerations in the field of cancer prevention. In this current and comprehensive text the authors review the basic science and clinical implications of individual infectious agents, while going beyond a mere update of the literature to offer insights on the current emerging prevention possibilities. This prevention perspective is what makes this particular text so valuable to researchers, epidemiologists, health care policy makers and oncologists. The discussion is organized to highlight the vital role of primary cancer prevention, and suggest directions for future research, practice and policy. Since HPV continues to be at the center of interest in the arena of infectious agents and cancer, the authors frame the majority of their discussion on this now-famous virus. The sheer volume of literature related to this virus and its many related cancers, and the burgeoning research on the development and implementation of a prophylactic vaccine necessitates a much fuller review of this infectious agent. Therefore, the book is roughly divided into two equal parts: one part devoted to HPV and another part devoted to five other prominent infectious agents in cancer.

Antisemitism Before the Holocaust

Re-Evaluating Antisemitic Exceptionalism in Germany and the United States, 1880-1945

By: Richard E. Frankel

This book examines the history of antisemitism in the United States and Germany in a novel way by placing the two countries side by side for a sustained comparison of the anti-Jewish environments in both countries from the 1880s to the end of World War II. Author Richard E. Frankel shatters the widely held notion of exceptionalism in Germany and America: the belief that antisemitism in Germany was uniquely murderous and led inevitably to the Holocaust and that antisemitism in the United States was uniquely benign, making an American Holocaust all but unthinkable. In a series of new and previously published essays that have been revised, updated, and expanded, the book relates antisemitism to issues including Jewish and Chinese immigration, discrimination and exclusion, World War I and its aftermath, Hitler and Henry Ford, Nazis, the American Right, and the Roosevelt Administration, and a German Ku Klux Klan. Taken together, these essays reveal that antisemitism in Germany was less aberrant than commonly believed and that American antisemitism was indeed dangerous and more similar to what existed in Germany during the same period. Antisemitism Before the Holocaust is an essential volume for students and scholars alike interested in European and American history, the history of the Holocaust and World War I.

Immunology of Human Infection

Part I: Bacteria, Mycoplasmae, Chlamydiae, and Fungi

By: André J. Nahmias,Richard J. O’Reilly

When we were first approached by the senior editors of this series to edit a book on interactions between the host and infectious agents, we accepted this offer as an exciting challenge. The only condition, readily agreed upon, was that such a book should focus on the immunology of infections in humans. Our reasons, if not biases, were severalfold. We sensed that the fields of microbiology and im munology, which had diverged as each was focusing on its individual search, were coming together. In agreement with the opinions expressed by Dr. Richard Krause in the Introduction, we strongly believed that the development of the immune system evolved in response to infectious agents and that the evolution of these agents was influenced in turn by the character of the host's responses. An inten sive examination of the multitude of primitive or more recently developed host defense mechanisms to determine their relative contribution to man's resistance to a given infectious agent appeared to us to be of crucial basic and practical interest. Many immune mechanisms studied in animals were being explored in humans and it appeared timely to focus particularly on what was known about man's resistance to infectious agents, correlating this information with lessons learned from relevant experiments in animal models.
