The Engine of Enterprise

Credit in America

By: Rowena Olegario

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

American households, businesses, and governments have always used intensive amounts of credit. The Engine of Enterprise traces the story of credit from colonial times to the present, highlighting its productive role in building national prosperity. Rowena Olegario probes enduring questions that have divided Americans: Who should have access to credit? How should creditors assess borrowers’ creditworthiness? How can people accommodate to, rather than just eliminate, the risks of a credit-dependent economy? In the 1790s Alexander Hamilton saw credit as “the invigorating principle” that would spur the growth of America’s young economy. His great rival, Thomas Jefferson, deemed it a grave risk, inviting burdens of debt that would amount to national self-enslavement. Even today, credit lies at the heart of longstanding debates about opportunity, democracy, individual responsibility, and government’s reach. Olegario goes beyond these timeless debates to explain how the institutions and legal frameworks of borrowing and lending evolved and how attitudes about credit both reflected and drove those changes. Properly managed, credit promised to be a powerful tool. Mismanaged, it augured disaster. The Engine of Enterprise demonstrates how this tension led to the creation of bankruptcy laws, credit-reporting agencies, and insurance regimes to harness the power of credit while minimizing its destabilizing effects.

Heteras

Book 1: The Lake

By: Rowena R. Conrad

Heteras is a fantasy novel that pits the forces of the noble against the forces of an ancient evil. It is a tale of four worlds connected by a gateway called Heteras. In Book 1, Mozeh abducts the god Protector, hunts for the future leaders they call Marked Children, and sets Heteras aflame. The Elders appoint Anazar, a record keeper, to lead the survivors through a mythical stairway beneath a lake watched over by Guardian spirits. They carry with them a sac full of green stones, a withered journal, and pouches of an indigenous tea. The ninety-ninth step leads the Heterans to a vineyard in a sleepy village in Rhineland, Germany. With the children safe, Anazar begins his search for an heir who possesses a jewel that will help the travelers in their quest to rescue their Protector and restore peace in Heteras. They adjust to life in this big strange world and embark on an adventure that earns them allies and foes. Along the way, they cross paths with a brother and a sister who are also on a quest of their own. Was this encounter predestined? Their search takes them to the peaks of the Dolomites in Northern Italy where they hope to find the answers they seek, and where, on a seemingly unremarkable hill, the next phase of their adventure begins.

Shadows of La Paz

By: Rowena R. Conrad

It is 4:30 on a Saturday morning at Barrio Santa Inez, in the town of La Paz, Zambales. Gabriel Alvarez is roused from sleep by a farmer who has come to report that four thieves are making off with the coffin of a recently buried, rich Chinese businessman. Compelled to pursue the perpetrators but with no police in sight, Alvarez enlists the help of a gun-toting cousin. While the two men scour the cemetery for clues, they stumble upon a body crammed in a sack. After it is identified, Philippine Constabulary investigators descend on the province, focusing on Gabriels relations and his past dalliance with a mysterious woman. Desperate and on the run, he gets help from a powerful politician with a great debt of gratitude to pay...but one who has much to lose. As the story unfolds and secrets come to light, Barrio Captain Alvarez realizes that the past has come to revisit him, and that he has become a pawn in one mans grand ambition. His only hope of salvation lies in a faith healer whose unusual methods border the bizarre. From the beaches of Zambales to the Hundred Islands of Lingayen; from the seedy strips of Subic to the slopes of a dormant volcano, Alvarez races for his life, his pursuers never far behind. Meanwhile, in their midst lives a woman trapped in a nightmare whose dark tortured mind has a story to tell. Love, heroism and diseased souls - La Paz has it all.

Writing in Social Spaces

A social processes approach to academic writing

By: Rowena Murray

Writing in Social Spaces addresses the problem of making time and space for writing in academic life and work of the professionals and practitioners who do academic writing'. Even those who want to write, who know how to write well and who have quality publications, report that they cannot find enough time for writing. Many supervisors are unsure about how to help postgraduates improve their writing for thesis and publication. Whilst the problem does presents through concerns with ‘time’, it is also partly about writing practices, academic identities and lack of motivation. This book provides a research-based, theorised approach to the skill of writing whilst retaining a link to writing practices and giving immediate yet sustainable solutions to the writing problem. It supplies new theory and practice on: socializing writing-in-progress and writing with others exploring the alternation of conscious and unconscious, internal and external processes in academic writing whilst in a social grouping Applying social processes in the writing process Using case studies and vignettes of writing in social spaces to illustrate the theory in practice, This book is a valuable resource for academics, scholars, professionals and practitioners, as well as researchers at all stages of their career, and in all disciplines.

Conjoined Twins

Developmental Malformations and Clinical Implications

By: Rowena Spencer

Although fertility drugs are increasing the incidence of twin births, conjoined twins remain rare at about 1 in 75,000 births. Nonetheless, they present a unique opportunity to learn about human development, as well as a challenge to medical professionals. In Conjoined Twins, Rowena Spencer, M.D., provides a comprehensive guide that thoroughly reviews the past century's literature on the subject and develops her theory of how these cases occur. After introductory chapters on history and embryology, the book presents a separate chapter for each of the eight main types of conjoined twins. Detailed descriptions of conjoined twins are accompanied by information valuable in planning surgical treatment, as well as extensive tables summarizing the available data on each type. Conjoined triplets and unusual conjoined twins receive attention in the final two chapters. Including line illustrations and photographs, this encyclopedic book about a complex subject will be a valuable reference for the many professionals who evaluate, treat, and study conjoined twins.

FLYING FRENCH FRIES

By: Rowena Shaw, PhD

Dr. Rowena Shaw was born in the picturesque Philippine Islands. As a young child of ten, she contracted polio. Overnight, she was flung into the bleak world of paralysis and the subsequent, painful and arduous rehabilitation process to regain mobility. In her early twenties, a two month leisure trip to the U.S. to visit family members was unexpectedly transformed to permanent residency as a result of a "chance" meeting with her future husband at her aunt's home. Graduate degrees in School Psychology and Educational Administration from the state university enriched over a thirty year career as counselor and school psychologist at an elementary and middle school in the United States. Decades of professional relationships afforded Dr. Shaw a plethora of experiences and stories about colleagues, students, and parents, an amalgamation of woeful and amusing tales. Recollections and musings on family life, aging, travel, friendships, marriage and raising children entertain readers with LOL detours.
