It is a story of spiritual undertones, wild escapades, and quiet reflection on lessons learned. Sheila is no ordinary womanyou will marvel at her, pity her, love her, scorn her, but never forget her.
This is a story with many quirks. It tells how the pride of race and name led one man to turn his back on his one son and cause fate to run amuck for generations. It?s a story of another man?s hate and fear of his heritage warping his ability to love and ending in violence and destruction. Yet, another man?s heart was broken so badly he chose to live a hermits life, barely staying alive, preferring that existence to living the role life had chosen for him. In this same story a girl?s love was so great it spanned time and oceans to live forever. She proved that love by giving her most precious possession, her life. Book Reviews "It?s easy reading. The wording is almost poetic. It?s a love story with a different twist." -Donna Morales
This publication seeks to challenge established thinking about the causes of violence in Northern Nigeria. It explores immediate and long-term effects of that violence through reflection, study, and survey of previous research. The fundamental argument within is that ethnic, political and religious violence has affected Christian perspectives and core values and thus has hampered efforts towards just peacemaking.
Health care is a very important component of the American economy. The United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) put the 2008 direct health care expenditures at about $2.34 trillion, or about 16.2 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), or an average of $7,681 spent for every man, woman, and child in the country. Health care cost increases have caused very serious problems that threaten to bankrupt the system, providers, employers, and the families that pay the costs that their health insurance plans do not cover. Additionally, cost increases have reduced access to health care services, adversely affected the quality of care, and resulted in avoidable illnesses, premature deaths, and in health disparities based on race, ethnicity, and income. Consequently, health care reform has continuously been on the public and governmental agendas. It is out of this environment that several reform plans, including the 1993 Health Security Act, and the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), were launched. This book examines the ideological, social, cultural, economic, and several other factors that dictate the various measures and approaches employed to tackle the perceived problems. The book has an index, tables, charts and figures, lists of major terms, and review questions for each chapter. This book will appeal to students in Master of Health Administration (MHA), Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Public Administration (MPA), Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), health certificate programs, and junior and senior level undergraduate students in political science, public administration, public health, and public policy. In addition to serving as a core text for health policy and administration classes, the book will serve as a supplementary text for graduate level courses.
