Lyric of the Circle Heart

The Bowman Family Trilogy

By: William Eastlake

These novels face head-on the reality of the American Indian, perhaps the last great taboo in American culture. After all of the flag-waving, the wars to protect the Land of the Free, and interventions around the world in the name of democracy, how do Americans admit, even today, that America was not discovered by Columbus and not courageously cultivated by white Anglo-Saxons? The land was invaded and a people destroyed, all in the name of religion, political freedom, and money. Long before Cormac McCarthy and even long before Tom Robbins, William Eastlake invented an American Southwest whose comic and tragic dimensions, as well as its hard beauty, encapsulates American myths and nightmares in much the way that Faulkner did with his invented Yoknapatawpha County. Against a background of New Mexico that transcends regional space, Eastlake explores race, greed, and tradition, evoking stereotypes for the sake of exploding them and laying bare an American reality that is a strange mix of pop culture, zany humor, biting satire, and a deep-seated respect for and love of the land.

Understanding the Adult-Child Relationship

(Adlerian Teaching-Parenting)

By: William Lyman Camp FACAPP

Is there really more of a generation gap today than there was in the past? We believe there is. There has always been a struggle between the generations, just there has always been a struggle between the sexes. In the past, however--in an autocratic society--this rebellion could not come out into the open. With the advent of the state of equality which we have reached in the United States since World War II, however, this evolution has begun to change or emerge more rapidly. We now see a low-level rebellion of all those persons who were earlier in an inferior position. Said more generally, we cannot understand this change--including a rebellion of youth--if we consider it as an isolated phenomenon. This quiet struggle of youth is part of a general, sometimes not so quiet rebellion of the disenfranchised in our society. Many women no longer let themselves be controlled by men, children no longer allow it by adults, labor no longer allow it by management, and minorities--especially Blacks and Hispanics--no longer accept the "supremacy" of Whites/Caucasians. So we have to understand that this struggle, on all fronts, is part of the same rebellion. The goal of this book is to outline the dynamics and processes involved. The author's intent is to highlight the evolving relationship between adults and children as part of this process.

Love's Obsession

By: William Mitchell Ross

The Cheese Days festival in Monroe, Wisconsin is the much celebrated weekend event lifting up a proud Swiss heritage tradition complete with authentic Swiss costumes, Polka music, cheese making demonstrations, and beer. A year’s worth of work has already been completed by the Cheese Days committee to make it successful. Visitors from far and wide, including Switzerland, will attend the three day celebration for a weekend of fun and relaxation. The Cheese Days Committee was horrified when a murder occurred on the square just twelve days before the concluding magnificent and noisy parade on Sunday. How will a crime of this magnitude affect the festival and will it keep the out-of-town visitors away?! Police Chief Brandon Johns and Detective Samantha Gates immediately launch an investigation to apprehend the killer before the festival begins. With the Cheese Days committee and Police and Fire Commissioner Roger Nussbaum demanding a quick resolution to the murder, the police are at a loss when they can’t determine a motive for the murder or a suspect through their investigation. What are they to do? The pressure is continually turned up on them every passing day without an arrest. They desperately need a break in the case. They need someone to come forward to give them the one clue they need to solve the murder.

The Brass Ring

By: William Fears

The Memoirs of Senator William E. Fears Jr. None of Alfred B. Fear's children, wives or relatives were formally educated except a couple of years in a one room school house, and a whole lot of "hard knock" experience. Earl Jr. knows little of this except he was born in a one room log house built on the Fear's farm, but his family got enough to eat so that he wasn't brain damaged too early. Aunt Myrtle was a beautifully structured woman, and somehow got to New York City, took some kind of secretarial course, and found a secretarial job. She was intelligent, and learned to speak, read, and write proper English. She also learned the proper social amenities of the time. Somehow she met and married a United States Military Academy graduate named Frederick E. Humphreys ¿

Kiowa, Apache, & Comanche Military Societies

Enduring Veterans, 1800 to the Present

By: William C. Meadows

For many Plains Indians, being a warrior and veteran has long been the traditional pathway to male honor and status. Men and boys formed military societies to celebrate victories in war, to perform community service, and to prepare young men for their role as warriors and hunters. By preserving cultural forms contained in song, dance, ritual, language, kinship, economics, naming, and other semireligious ceremonies, these societies have played an important role in maintaining Plains Indian culture from the pre-reservation era until today. In this book, Williams C. Meadows presents an in-depth ethnohistorical survey of Kiowa, Apache, and Comanche military societies, drawn from extensive interviews with tribal elders and military society members, unpublished archival sources, and linguistic data. He examines their structure, functions, rituals, and martial symbols, showing how they fit within larger tribal organizations. And he explores how military societies, like powwows, have become a distinct public format for cultural and ethnic continuity.

Understanding and Managing the Difficult Child

Selected Adlerian Child Psychology Concepts and Ideas, Compiled, Summarized, Edited, Updated, and Supplemented for the 21st Century

By: William Lyman Camp FACAPP

While working with parents and children for nearly half a century, it has become increasingly evident that the Adlerian child psychology methods as outlined in this book are effective when applied to family conflicts. They have been tested by numerous teachers, counselors, and others in many locations over many years. Many parents have discovered for themselves that these strategies engage their children and win their cooperation. Still, parents often do not know why children act as they do or why they succeed or fail. The information and recommendations in this book are based on a philosophy of life and concept of human nature and behavior first presented by Alfred Adler, Rudolph Dreikurs, and others. The parenting methods they recommended have become increasingly accepted and used during recent decades in Europe and North America. They do not suggest either permissiveness or punishment but instead methods for use by parents, which emphasize wise guidance of children without either overcontrolling them or stifling their creative spirit. With more secure knowledge of what to do, parents can improve their parenting using techniques and strategies that work. Parents are too often faced with child-raising challenges for which they are not prepared. Just as the child needs training, so do parents. Ideas presented in the pages of this book suggest new ways to respond to a child’s provocations that can lead to new attitudes and parental behaviors. These can and often do lead, in turn, to new and productive approaches and methods that allow more harmonious relationships to develop. But why do children act as they do? And why do these methods enable parents to succeed? The information included in this volume was designed to answer these and related questions as well as to present a set of principles in a form readily usable by parents in the home, teachers in the classroom, and other adults in other circumstances and situations.

Tried by Fire

The Story of Christianity's First Thousand Years

By: William J. Bennett

Full of larger-than-life characters, stunning acts of bravery, and heart-rending sacrifice, Tried by Fire narrates the rise and expansion of Christianity from an obscure regional sect to the established faith of the world’s greatest empire with influence extending from India to Ireland, Scandinavia to Ethiopia, and all points in between. William J. Bennett explores the riveting lives of saints and sinners, paupers and kings, merchants and monks who together—and against all odds—changed the world forever. To tell their story, Bennett follows them through the controversies and trials of their time. Challenged by official persecution, heresy, and schism, they held steadfast to the truth of Christ. Strengthened by poets, preachers, and theologians, they advanced in devotion and love. In this moving and accessible narrative, Tried by Fire speaks across centuries to offer insight into the people and events that shaped the faith that continues to shape our lives today.

Adlerian Counseling Theory and Practice

(Including Material from Rudolf Dreikurs, MD-Child Psychiatrist-Essentially in His Own Words)

By: William Lyman Camp FACAPP

The Adlerian approach to counseling is a highly structured approach. Adlerians operate according to a set of principles and procedures that make this form of counseling different from many other forms of counseling. In most other forms, a counselor sees a client and they talk, and they talk, and they talk. Adlerians try not to waste a moment. Every word said and everything done is designed according to plan. In the pages of this book, the writer will present techniques that have been used successfully, with the suggestion that the reader, too, may find real success in their use. Chapter 1 and 2 consists of Adlerian child psychology concepts and ideas with information drawn from lectures, interviews, writings, and conversations with Rudolf Dreikurs, MD, as well as ideas from other Adlerian authors, compiled, summarized, edited, updated, annotated, and supplemented for the twenty-first century. Chapters 3 and 4 are essentially the words of Dr. Dreikurs, compiled and edited from tapes, excerpts from his public conversations, lectures, and radio and television presentations—all organized and presented with his suggestions for their organization and presentation. Much of this material is presented primarily as a casebook, with explanations included and transcripts of cases conducted by Dr. Dreikurs. It is presented with his permission and appropriate confidentiality, including name changes, etc. Interspersed are comments, observations, and brief explanations presented for clarification.

Forged in Genocide

Migrant Workers Shaping Colonial Capitalism in Namibia, 1890–1925

By: William Blakemore Lyon

Forged in Genocide traces the early history of colonial capitalism in Namibia with a central focus on migrants who came to be key to the economy during and as a result of the German genocide of the Herero and Nama (1904-1908). It posits that Namibia, far from being a colonial backwater of the early 20th century, became highly integrated into the labor flows and economies of West and Southern Africa, and even for a time was one of the most sought-after regions for African migrants because of relatively high wages and numerous opportunities resulting from the war’s demographic devastation paired with an economic frenzy following the discovery of diamonds. In highlighting the life stories of migrants in Namibia from regions as diverse as the Kru coast of Liberia, the Eastern Cape of South Africa, and the Ovambo polities of Northern Namibia, this work integrates micro-history into larger African continental trends. Building off of written sources from migrants themselves and utilising the Namibian Worker Database constructed for this project, this book explores the lives of workers in early colonial Namibia in a way that has hereto not been attempted.
