The appearance of Volume II of the Encyclopedia of Ukraine makes the second stage of a major publishing project. Based on twenty-five years' research by more than 100 scholars from around the world, the encyclopedia provides the most essential information about Ukraine and its people, history, geography, economy, and cultural heritage. Volume II contains entries beginning with the letters G to K, among them numerous biographies of historical figures and people currently living in and outside of Soviet Ukraine. Included are some 600 illustrations, maps, and statistical tables. The five volumes of the Encyclopedia of Ukraine will constitute a comprehensive guide to the life and culture of Ukrainians and reflect the manifold relations of Ukrainians with their neighbours and with their non-Ukrainian environments in the various countries to which they immigrated.

Our hearts sink when we hear the story: a small child is abducted from their home and vanished without a trace. We cling to our own kids a little tighter knowing that it can happen to anyone. We hope for a miracle, but know the reality is once they've been gone for more than a few days, they will never be found alive. But sometimes, often in the most miraculous ways, they are found--months, even years, later. The 15 stories here recount the stories of some of the worlds most famous kidnapping cases, and shows how the victims survived the cruelty and were ultimately rescued.

An updated edition of a classic African American autobiography, with new supplementary materials A Penguin Vitae Edition The preeminent American slave narrative first published in 1845, Frederick Douglass's Narrative powerfully details the life of the abolitionist from his birth into slavery in 1818 to his escape to the North in 1838, how he endured the daily physical and spiritual brutalities of his owners and driver, how he learned to read and write, and how he grew into a man who could only live free or die. In addition to Douglass's classic autobiography, this new edition also includes his most famous speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?" and his only known work of fiction, The Heroic Slave, which was written, in part, as a response to Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Penguin Classics presents Penguin Vitae, loosely translated as "Penguin of one's life," a deluxe hardcover series featuring a dynamic landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction that has shaped the course of our readers' lives. Penguin Vitae invites readers to find themselves in a diverse world of storytellers, with beautifully designed classic editions of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

My task in this work was to give you every shade of grey available. However, I have singularly failed in this task. I only recently discovered, after many years researching every shade of grey, that the printing technique used in this book only uses black ink. Therefore, the shades of grey presented are merely an illusion.

The author has thoroughly revised the second edition. Dreams enrich us with their pictorial and sensitive language. Dreams amplify our consciousness by informing the dreamer about his conflicts, feelings of guilt, wishes and instincts. The psychiatrist Dr. Flottmann researched 45.000 dreams by means of the computer and his great experience in psychotherapy. For many dream symbols new scientific meanings have been found.

Whether you're a student or an educator, you've probably experienced the doom from looking at a blank page. You've titled your research paper, lesson, or lecture-whatever it may be-but you find yourself asking the proverbial question, "Where do I begin?"

Luckily, when it comes to environmental studies, you will never face that question again. In his twentieth-anniversary edition of this encyclopedia, H. Steven Dashefsky hands readers the tools for diving straight into a project. All it takes is choosing one topic or term and letting the text take you by the hand and guide you through a series of cross-referenced entries, until you realize your essay outline has written itself-or that your lecture is now chock full of talking points.

The guide's content covers many timely issues, including social media, toxicity in common household items, and health-related issues. The overall experience is like a conversation, as each entry carries a casual, accessible tone that spurs ideas and doesn't assume prior scientific knowledge.

This updated edition is a must-have for libraries, instructors wanting to develop cross-discipline curriculums, and anyone else with a desire to stay informed about our planet's environment.

This volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture offers a timely, authoritative, and interdisciplinary exploration of issues related to social class in the South from the colonial era to the present. With introductory essays by J. Wayne Flynt and by editors Larry J. Griffin and Peggy G. Hargis, the volume is a comprehensive, stand-alone reference to this complex subject, which underpins the history of the region and shapes its future. In 58 thematic essays and 103 topical entries, the contributors explore the effects of class on all aspects of life in the South-its role in Indian removal, the Civil War, the New Deal, and the civil rights movement, for example, and how it manifested in religion, sports, country and gospel music, and matters of gender. Artisans and the working class, indentured workers and steelworkers, the Freedman's Bureau and the Knights of Labour are all examined. This volume provides a full investigation of social class in the region and situates class concerns at the centre of our understanding of Southern culture.
