In this powerfully written and beautifully illustrated picture book
by award-winning author and illustrator team Carole Boston
Weatherford and E. B. Lewis, Mother Africa addresses her offspring
of all colours in all corners of the earth, reminding us of our
timeless bond. Written in the voice of Mother Africa, who speaks to
her children-human beings-this stunning picture book thrums with
the love between mother and child as it celebrates humanity's
common roots. Before words or tools or fire, Mother Africa's caves
sheltered us and her forests fed us. She could not protect us from
all dangers, but, like mothers everywhere, she gave her children
all she could and sent us into the world with confidence and love.
Told in the ringing, singing language of a creation story, this
book is a love letter from mother to child that honors our shared
history. Includes back matter with nonfiction information about
human evolution and about the migration of Homo sapiens from Africa
around the globe.
Recognized as the oldest police department in the country, the
Boston Police Department has bravely protected and served the
Boston community since 1838. Over the years, the department's
efforts to keep the public safe have been supported by the many
divisions and special units that are prepared to respond to a wide
range of public safety issues. Photographs of the harbor patrol
unit, mounted unit, K-9 unit, homicide unit, and motorcycle unit
take readers "behind the badge" to witness the exciting and
sometimes dangerous situations that officers encounter when
protecting the Hub. Honoring this great department and the men and
women who have served it, Boston Police: Behind the Badge
celebrates the long and noteworthy history of the city and
department from days long gone by.

A trade crossroads dating back to Native American times, Santa
Clarita may be relatively new in the story of Los Angeles Countyas
suburban sprawl, but old-timers also recall it as the aNavel of the
Universe.a A Chinese general once declared the Santa Clarita Valley
one of the top 10 military targets on Earth. Located east of the
Ventura County line where the valley creates a break in the Angeles
National Forest, Santa Clarita has been home to cowboys, movie
stars, farmers, and pistol fighters. With a diverse population of
250,000 today, the Santa Clarita Valley still boasts an eclectic
heritage. The Westas first major oil refinery is located here. The
ground was bloodied by at least 21 deaths in one of Americaas last
and greatest range wars. And local lore has maintained that the
worldas largest grizzly bear, weighing more than a ton, was shot
here.
Children's Hospital Boston is one of the oldest, most distinguished
pediatric medical centers in the world. It grew from a modest
beginning in 1869, in a single Boston brick house, to become a
major pediatric affiliate of Harvard Medical School. For well over
a century, this hospital has been a pioneer in providing healthcare
for children, performing research in childhood and adult diseases,
and training future leaders in medicine and surgery. Children's
Hospital Boston presents a visual tour of the history and
development of this institution. Simultaneously, this book reflects
the history of pediatrics in America.

For nearly two hundred fifty years, New Boston has been a wonderful
combination of pioneering and industrious spirit, New England
traditions, and picturesque landscape. This book describes the
unique heritage of the Molly Stark Cannon; bicentennial homesteads
that doubled as summer tourist destinations; natural oddities such
as Frog Rock; and man-made sites such as an old military bombing
range that is now used to track satellites. Why was New Boston
known as the Gravity Center of the World? How did a single farm
once supply the largest hotels in Boston with meat and dairy
products? Historic photographs reveal a town steeped in
tradition-on the farm; at work, school, or play; and during
prosperous and troubled times.
The photographs in this exciting new volume illustrate the history
of the Charlestown Navy Yard from the late nineteenth century
through the twentieth century. Founded in 1800, the yard was one
of the first military shipyards in the United States.
Charlestown Navy Yard celebrates the life of the yard
through one hundred years of photographs, showing the
dramatic changes that took place during the transition from wood to
steel ships. Charlestown Navy Yard's history is preserved in these
images, which include rare views of buildings past and present and
snapshots of shipyard workers in the Ropewalk, on the ships, and in
the Forge Shop where die-lock chain was developed. Discover within
these pages little-known facts about the people who shaped the
shipyard's history and the ships that visited the yard, such as USS
Albany, as well as the two historic ships at the yard--the U.S.
Navy's oldest commissioned warship, USS Constitution, and the World
War II destroyer, USS Cassin Young.
This book WON'T test your mental maths or teach you countless ways
to find x. It WILL show you just how fascinating maths can be. Can
maths make people rich? Can formulas predict which sports teams
will win more games? Can equations explain the mysteries of the
universe? The short answer to all these is YES. This book explores
and explains the ways that the tools of mathematics help people
make sense of the world around them, predict the future and, just
maybe, how to make life itself better.

Originally published in 1983, this study describes the
experience of severely deprived children referred for individual
psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Tavistock Clinic in London, and
at other clinics and schools. Most were living in children s homes,
all came from chaotic and disrupted families, and many had been
abused or neglected. Children from such backgrounds have previously
been considered unsuitable for psychotherapy, and the theoretical
and technical issues arising from their treatment are discussed
here, and detailed case material is presented.
There is a high rate of emotional and behavioural disturbance
among children in community care. The experience of the therapists
struggling, often painfully, to establish contact and communication
with these young people, who have been hurt and disillusioned by
life, provide illuminating material on the children s perceptions
of their lives. This book clearly demonstrates the need for and the
capacity to respond to treatment, and it provides insights which
are of relevance to all who are in close contact with such
children."
A new perspective on lordship in England between the Norman
Conquest and Magna Carta. Multiple lordship- that is, holding land
or owing allegiance to more than one lord simultaneously- was long
regarded under the western European "feudal" model as a potentially
dangerous aberration, and a sign of decline in the structure of
lordship. Through an analysis of the minor lords of Leicestershire,
Derbyshire, and Staffordshire during the long twelfth century, this
study demonstrates, conversely, that multiple lordship was at least
as common as single lordship in this period and regarded as a
normal practice, and explores how these minor lords used the
flexibility of lordship structures to construct localised centres
of authority in the landscape and become important actors in their
own right. Lordship was, moreover, only one of several forces which
minor lords had to navigate. Regional society in this period was
profoundly shaped by overlapping ties of lordship, kinship, and
locality, each of which could have a fundamental impact on
relationships and behaviour. These issues are studied within and
across lords' honours, around religious houses and urban areas, and
in a close case study of the abbey of Burton-upon-Trent. This book
thus contextualises lordship within a wider landscape of power and
influence.
God is a Bullet is the cult classic back in print and soon to be a
major motion picture starring Jamie Foxx, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and
January Jones. During Christmas week in 1995, a fourteen-year-old
girl is kidnapped by a bloodthirsty satanic cult. Bob Hightower,
the girl's father and a small-town cop, embarks on a desperate
mission to find her, but his only hope lies with Case Hardin, an
ex-cult member and ex-junkie living in a half-way house in
Hollywood. Their quest - his to find his child, hers to exorcise
her demons - becomes a primal hunt-and-chase through a savage
subculture of drugs and ritualistic violence . . . 'Not for those
