By 1900, one in four Chicagoans was either German born or had a
German-born parent. No other ethnic group's thumbprint has been
larger in helping establish Chicago as a major economic and
cultural center nor has any group's influence been more erased by
the passage and vicissitudes of time. Lost German Chicago traces
the mosaic of German life through the tumultuous events of the Beer
Riots, Haymarket Affair, Prohibition, and America's entry into two
world wars. The book is a companion piece to the Lost German
Chicago exhibition debuting in the newly created DANK-Haus German
American Cultural Center museum, located in what is still known
today as the "German town" of the north side of Chicago. Entrusted
as the caretaker of many archives, artifacts, and historical
documents from many now defunct German organizations, the DANK-Haus
German American Cultural Center has been committed to preserving
history, traditions, and contributions of Germans and German
Americans for over 50 years.
Children and young people in care who have been traumatized need a
therapeutic environment where they can heal and which meets their
emotional and developmental needs. This book provides a model of
care for traumatized children and young people, based on theory and
practice experience pioneered at the Lighthouse Foundation,
Australia. The authors explain the impact of trauma on child
development, drawing on psychodynamic, attachment and
neurobiological trauma theories. The practical aspects of
undertaking therapeutic care are then outlined, covering everything
from forming therapeutic relationships to the importance of the
home environment and daily routines. The book considers the
totality of the child's experience at the individual, group,
organization and community levels and argues that attention to all
of these is essential if the child is to achieve wellness. Case
material from both children and carers are used throughout to
illustrate both the impact of trauma and how children have been
helped to recovery through therapeutic care. This book will provide
anyone caring for traumatized children and young people in a
residential setting with both the understanding and the practical
knowledge to help children recover. It will be essential reading
for managers and decision-makers responsible for looked after
children, child care workers such as residential and foster carers,
youth workers, social workers, mental health workers and child
welfare academics.
The British led the way in holidaymaking. This four-volume primary
resource collection brings together a diverse range of texts on the

Healthy living in the Alps examines the relationship between the
search for relief from respiratory diseases, such as tuberculosis,
in high alpine resorts and the development in the same places of
winter sports tourism. The first winter visitors to the Swiss Alps
began to arrive in the 1860s and were encouraged to take outdoor
exercise as part of their cure regime. They also had healthy
visitors and companions who sought recreation while the invalids
were resting as part of the sanatoria routine. Demonstrating that
this is not just part of the history of Switzerland but of Britain
too, biographical backgrounds of British visitors to the resorts
give depth and context to a history of health and winter sports
tourism by looking at the kind of people who would spend months of
the year in the Alps. A discussion of the application of modern
technologies creates an overall view of the growth of health and
sports tourism in Switzerland. -- .
Today, many people take the idea of holidays for granted and regard
the provision of paid time off as a right. This book argues that
popular tourism has its roots in collective organisation and charts
the development of the working class holiday over two centuries.
Starting with the cult of St. Monday, the problem of absenteeism of
northern textile workers during Wakes Week, and culminating in the
cheap foreign package holiday of the late 20th century, this study
recounts how short, unpaid and often unauthorised periods of leave
from work became organised and legitimised through legislation,
culminating with the Holidays with Pay Act of 1938. Moreover, this
study finds that it was through collective activity by workers -
through savings clubs, friendly societies and union activity - that
the working class were originally able to take holidays, and it was
as a result of collective bargaining and campaigning that paid
holidays were eventually secured for all. This fascinating study
will be of use to students and scholars of social history, travel
and tourism and labour studies. -- .

In contrast to the plethora of works focusing on the tragic loss of
human lives during the First World War, little is known about the
more hopeful realities of thousands of prisoners of war from
Britain, France, Germany and Belgium who were sent to Switzerland
from 1916. This book explores the everyday lives of these prisoners
and their impact on Switzerland. Internees were warmly welcomed by
local people and given education, training and employment. Leading
relatively free lives, they were able to engage in leisure
activities and develop new relationships. However, they also
contributed to the country's economy, helping to keep Swiss tourism
alive at a time when businesses were struggling and alleviating
Switzerland's labour shortage as Swiss men were called-up to defend
their borders and preserve the country's neutrality. Drawing on a
wide range of sources from official records to magazines and
postcards, Susan Barton provides an absorbing account of the social
and cultural history of internment in Switzerland.
