Happy moments

By: Machelle Shelton

Happy Moments, is a collection of small stories that apparently seem to be disconnected. But Connor, Corbet, Eric, Gabriela, Ingrid, Jake, Lawrence, Lea and Sheyenne, share a common value: their family ties and friendship, that are so important in the growth of a person. These characters, reflecting the experience and the background of the Author, do not care about physical appearance, but live and coexist with the security that even a flaw can hide a special ability, a personal genius, in a sense the acceptance of ourselves. Machelle Shelton, a retired Teacher, and Principal after 28 years working mainly with foundation phase age group children. Holds a Hons BED degree with Specialization in the Foundation Phase. Loves to teach children how to develop their thinking skills and motivate them to enjoy learning, especially through reading. Machelle has read an abundance of stories to her children, nephews and nieces, and the hundreds of children in the schools where she taught. She becomes deeply involved in the stories and loves to accentuate the different themes and characters in the stories. Machelle has travelled on many occasions to London, Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Australia, and New Zealand with her Husband of 40 years who is a Professor at Wits University in South Africa, and her three sons, two of which hold master’s degrees in their fields, and one still studying. She spends as much time visiting with her three grandchildren as she can, in Australia and New Zealand. Machelle enjoys studying the behavior patterns of people and enjoys finding the absurdity in the things they do. She finds that reading books brings out the best in children and helps develop and enhance their social skills.

Towns of Mount Lassen

By: William Shelton

The imposing and dormant peak of Mount Lassen, the southernmost volcano in the Cascade Range, has been held in awe and wonder since well before the California Gold Rush. The Yahi Nation called the volcano Waganupa, meaning the center of the world, and the volcanos peak, named after the Dutch immigrant and prospector Peter Lassen, is the centerpiece of the scenic Lassen Volcanic National Park. Within the guarded perimeters of this parkinducted into the park system under Woodrow Wilson in 1916, hardly a year after the devastation of its most recent eruptionsthere was once a thriving lumber industry, narrow-gauge railroad system, and flume network that sustained a community of lumber camps and the lost town of Lyonsville, all threatened by volcanic destruction and the changing West.

Squatter's Republic

Squatter's Republic

By: Tamara Venit Shelton

Who should have the right to own land, and how much of it? A Squatter's Republic follows the rise and fall of the land question in the Gilded AgeÑand the rise and fall of a particularly nineteenth-century vision of landed independence. More specifically, the author considers the land question through the anti-monopolist reform movements it inspired in late nineteenth-century California. The Golden State was a squatter's republicÑa society of white men who claimed no more land than they could use, and who promised to uphold agrarian republican ideals and resist monopoly, the nemesis of democracy. Their opposition to land monopoly became entwined with public discourse on Mexican land rights, industrial labor relations, immigration from China, and the rise of railroad and other corporate monopolies.

Claiming the City

A Global History of Workers' Fight for Municipal Socialism

By: Shelton Stromquist

For more than a century, municipal socialism has fired the imaginations of workers fighting to make cities livable and democratic. At every turn propertied elites challenged their right to govern. Prominent US labor historian, Shelton Stromquist, offers the first global account of the origins of this new trans-local socialist politics. He explains how and why cities after 1890 became crucibles for municipal socialism. Drawing on the colorful stories of local activists and their social-democratic movements in cities as diverse as Broken Hill, Christchurch, Malm, Bradford, Stuttgart, Vienna, and Hamilton, OH, the book shows how this new urban politics arose. Long governed by propertied elites, cities in the nineteenth century were transformed by mass migration and industrialization that tore apart their physical and social fabric. Amidst massive strikes and faced with epidemic disease, fouled streets, unsafe water, decrepit housing, and with little economic security and few public amenities, urban workers invented a local politics that promised to democratize cities they might themselves govern and reclaim the wealth they created. This new politics challenged the class power of urban elites as well as the centralizing tendencies of national social-democratic movements. Municipal socialist ideas have continued to inspire activists in their fight for the right of cities to govern themselves.

From Village Boy to Global Citizen (Volume 1)

The Life Journey of a Journalist: The Journey of a Journalist

By: Shelton Gunaratne

From Village Boy to Global Citizen (Volume 1): The Journey of a Journalist is the first of an autobiographical trilogy that tells the story of a rustic lad born and raised in the southern tip of the British colony of Ceylon (now independent Sri Lanka) but left his country at the age of 26 on a geographical "conquest" of the world that turned him metaphorically into a global citizen. Starting his professional career as a journalist for the Daily News, Ceylon's premier English-language daily, he became a journalism teacher at the age of 32, when he received a doctorate in mass communication. However, he continued practicing journalism as a free-lancer throughout his teaching career in Malaysia, Australia and the United States. Volume 1 unfolds the transition of the author's life from a village kid to a global journalist and educator. It dramatizes the obstacles he had to overcome, as well as the support he received from his benefactors, in the transition.

Solidarity and Survival

An Oral History of Iowa Labor in the Twentieth Century

By: Shelton Stromquist

In Solidarity and Survival, three generations of Iowa workers tell of their unrelenting efforts to create a labor movement in the coal mines and on the rails, in packinghouses and farm equipment plants, on construction sites and in hospital wards. Drawing on nearly one thousand interviews collected over more than a decade by oral historians working for the Iowa Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, Shelton Stromquist presents the resonant voices of the men and women who defined a new, prominent place for themselves in the lives of their communities and in the politics of their state.

Sustainability Unpacked

Food, Energy and Water for Resilient Environments and Societies

By: Kristiina Vogt,Toral Patel-Weynand,Maura Shelton,Daniel J Vogt,John C. Gordon,Cal Mukumoto,Asep. S. Suntana,Patricia A. Roads

Food, water and energy form some of the basic elements of sustainability considerations. This ground-breaking book examines and decodes these elements, exploring how a range of countries make decisions regarding their energy and bio-resource consumption and procurement. The authors consider how these choices impact not only the societies and environments of those countries, but the world in general. To achieve this, the authors review the merits of various sustainability and environmental metrics, and then apply these to 34 countries that are ranked low, medium or high on the human development index. The book assesses their resource capacities and the environmental impacts, both within and outside their country boundaries, from consuming food, water, and energy. The final section uses the lessons derived from the earlier analyses of resource consumption to explore the importance of geography, climates and sustainable management of forests and other natural resources for building resilient societies in the future.
