In America, it is increasingly the case that the people who
make, support, or protest military policy have no military
experience. As Kathy Roth-Douquet and Frank Schaeffer assert in
this groundbreaking work, the gap between the "all-volunteer
military" and the rest of us is widening, and our country faces a
dangerous lack of understanding between those in power and those
who defend our way of life.

The ""Greatest Generation"" was filled with war heroes and love
stories, during and shortly after World War II. Love of God,
country, and family were the priorities of young men and women
facing and surviving military service at the time. Many of their
love stories were told in letters written home from overseas.
Hidden in dusty boxes in attics or locked away in storage chests,
these treasures are occasionally found and their stories finally
uncovered. This is the true story of Bill, a twenty-eight-year-old
Gettysburg seminarian and Purple Heart veteran, who was still
single, disenchanted with women, and unsure of his future in the
ministry. Mary was a twenty-two-year-old, highly educated,
pragmatic young woman starting a public health program from scratch
in Greenville, South Carolina. After meeting, they quickly fell in
love and became engaged on the same day Bill left for an
eighteen-month post-graduate religious and academic study program
in Sweden in January 1947. Based on hundreds of handwritten letters
during and after the war, this nonfiction historical romance
explores how, with God's help, one couple's love, commitment,
faith, and trust was sustained and grew across an ocean of
separation.

There are few issues more contentious today than the nature and
purpose of borders. Migration flows and the refugee crisis have
propelled the issue of borders into the centre of political debate
and revealed our moral unease more clearly than ever. Who are we to
deny others access to our territory? Is not freedom of movement a
basic human right, one that should be defended above all others? In
this book Paul Scheffer takes a different view. Rather than
thinking of borders as obstacles to freedom, he argues that borders
make freedom possible. Democracy and redistributive justice are
only possible with the regulation of access to territories and
rights. When liberals ignore an open society's need for borders,
people with authoritarian inclinations will begin to erect them. In
the context of Europe, the project of removing internal borders can
therefore only be successful if Europe accepts responsibility for
its external border. This timely and important book challenges
conventional ways of thinking and will be of interest to everyone
concerned with the great social and political issues of our time.

Concerns about immigration and the rising visibility of
minorities have triggered a lively scholarly debate on the
consequences of ethnic diversity for trust, cooperation, and other
aspects of social cohesion. In this accessibly written volume,
leading scholars explore where, when, and why ethnic diversity
affects social cohesion by way of analyses covering the major
European immigration countries, as well as the United Sates and
Canada. They explore the merits of competing theoretical accounts
and give rare insights into the underlying mechanisms through which
diversity affects social cohesion. The volume offers a nuanced
picture of the topic by explicitly exploring the conditions under
which ethnic diversity affects the glue that holds societies
together. With its interdisciplinary perspective and contributions
by sociologists, political scientists, social psychologists, as
well as economists, the book offers the most comprehensive analysis
of the link between ethnic diversity and social cohesion that is
currently available."

Freud spoke of the "repudiation of femininity" as being an
"underlying bedrock", part of the "enigma" of sexuality. The enigma
is not so much the refusal of the feminine dimension as such; it
has more to do with rejecting its erotic and genital aspects, as
well as its creation through sexual ecstatic pleasure. Equality
between the sexes is a legitimate demand in the political, social,
and economic spheres, but forming a masculine-feminine relationship
as a couple is a creation of the mind, exalting the acknowledgement
of the otherness which is part of the difference between the sexes.
There is a conflict in woman - and the feminine dimension itself is
rooted in it - between a sexuality that demands "defeat" and an ego
that abhors this. It is the man's masculine dimension - the
antagonist of the phallic one - which creates the feminine
dimension in women, by tearing away their defences and generating
sexual ecstasy. The quality of the sexual, emotional, and social
relationship that is set up between a man and a woman bears witness
to the "work of civilization" (Kulturarbeit).
Gotham meets Strange the Dreamer in this thrilling young adult
fantasy about a cowardly girl who finds herself at the center of a
criminal syndicate conspiracy, in a city where crooked politicians
and sinister cults reign and dreaming means waking up as your worst
nightmare. Ever since her sister became a man-eating spider and
slaughtered her way through town, nineteen-year-old Ness has been
terrified--terrified of some other Nightmare murdering her, and
terrified of ending up like her sister. Because in Newham, the city
that never sleeps, dreaming means waking up as your worst fear.
Whether that means becoming a Nightmare that's monstrous only in
appearance, to transforming into a twisted, unrecognizable creature
that terrorizes the city, no one is safe. Ness will do anything to
avoid becoming another victim, even if that means lying low among
the Friends of the Restful Soul, a questionable organization that
may or may not be a cult. But being a member of maybe-cult has a
price. In order to prove herself, Ness cons her way into what's
supposed to be a simple job for the organization--only for it to
blow up in her face. Literally. Tangled up in the aftermath of an
explosive assassination, now Ness and the only other survivor--a
Nightmare boy who Ness suspects is planning to eat her--must find
their way back to Newham and uncover the sinister truth behind the
attack, even as the horrors of her past loom ominously near.
Written for teachers and parents in homeschool, public school, or

This book is about how plants get diseases, from the origins and
evolution of parasites to how the great plant epidemics developed.
The basic premise of the book is that the conditions favouring
disease are inherent in agriculture and that diseases become
destructive because of human activities. It also deals with how
people have dealt with plant diseases in history. Included in the
book are the natural histories of some of the most damaging plant
diseases, worldwide, with discussions of why each became
destructive. Diseases are grouped according to the most significant
factors in the development of epidemics: in every case this is due
to a human factor. Discussion of each model disease proceeds from
observable facts to more complex concepts; thus, the reader with
little knowledge of plant pathology should find the book easily
understandable.

This revised guide covers every aspect of prostate cancer: everything from potential causes, diets, and diagnostic tests to curative treatment and innovative means of controlling advanced stages of cancer.
As of 2022, an estimated 268,490 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. A high percentage of those will relapse. But the good news is that more men are being cured of this disease than ever before.
In a new and completely revised 5th edition, this lifesaving guide offers a message of hope to every man facing this illness, and the people who love them. Prostate cancer is a different disease in every man—which means that the right treatment varies for each person. Public awareness for this disease has transformed treatment and opened up new avenues of research; rapid advances in knowledge are being translated in new recommendations for management.
In this book, Dr. Walsh et. al. will address such issues as:
- The genes involved in prostate cancer, genetic tests, and who should get them.
- The powerful effect of lifestyle changes to reduce pro-inflammatory and pro-insulin resistance environments, such as alcohol intake, physical activity, and BMI.
- What high-risk men (particularly African American men) need to know, and when to start screening.
- Information and support for the LGBT community, transgender individuals, and people with prostates.
- New information on testing and imaging.
- Your post-treatment life; how to stay healthy after treatment and manage the side effects of medication, and also how to support caregivers.
- Advice and support for coping with your diagnosis and learning how to live life beyond prostate cancer
This book introduces the thought of Giambattista Vico (1668-1744)
into the discussion about natural law. For many critics, natural
law is not natural but a facade behind which lurks the supernatural
- that is, revealed religion. While current notions of natural law
are based on either Aristotelian/Thomistic principles or on
Enlightenment rationalism, the book shows how Vico was the only
natural law thinker to draw on the Roman legal tradition, rather
than on Greek or Enlightenment philosophy. Specifically, the book
addresses how Vico, drawing his inspiration from Roman history,
incorporated both rhetoric and religion into a dynamic concept of
natural law grounded in what he called the sensus communis: the
entire repertoire of values, images, institutions, and even
prejudices that a community takes for granted. Vico denied that
natural law could ever furnish a definitive answer to moral
problems in the social/public sphere. Rather he maintained that
such problems had to be debated in the wider arena of the sensus
communis. For Vico, as this book argues, natural law principles
emerged from these debates; they did not resolve them.
Exploring the debate within social sciences on the consequences of
ethnic diversity for social cohesion and the production of public
goods, this book draws on extensive survey data from Germany to
engage with questions surrounding the relationship between ethnic
diversity and issues such as welfare provision and the erosion of
public trust and civic engagement in Europe. It moves away from the
question of whether there is in fact a universal correlation
between ethnic diversity and social cohesion in order to focus on
the reasons for which people's reciprocity and trust might be
reduced in more ethnically diverse areas. Drawing attention to the
importance of peoples' perceptions of diversity in explaining
levels of social cohesion, Ethnic Diversity and Social Cohesion
shows how specific types of perceived diversity can help explain
the reasons for which ethnic diversity is associated with declines
in social cohesion, and the contexts and conditions in which this
occurs. The book also outlines potential courses of action,
revealing the important roles of residential segregation, children
and interethnic partners in overcoming barriers of language, values
and cognitive bias. A rigorous, timely study of ethnic diversity
and its relation to liberal democracy as a form of deliberative
conflict that requires certain levels of trust, shared values and
engagement, Ethnic Diversity and Social Cohesion will be of
interest to policy makers, sociologists and political scientists
working in the fields of race and migration, ethnic diversity and
community cohesion.
This unique, edited book bridges studies in language disorders and
linguistic theory with timely contributions from leading scholars
in language development. It presents an attempt to define Specific
Language Impairment, relating it to children of normal and
disordered language capabilities. The chapter presentations examine
language development across a variety of populations of children,
from those with Specific Language Impairment to second language
learners. The contributors discuss criteria for the definition of
SLI, compare and contrast SLI with profiles of children with other
disorders and dialects, and offer a comprehensive look at the Whole
Human Language, which ties together spoken and signed languages.
Methodological concerns that affect the credibility and
generalizability of the findings are discussed and controversies
between opposing linguistic approaches to language acquisition are
presented. The conceptual thread that gradually reveals itself as
the chapters unfold is a theoretical issue of central importance to
cognitive theory, as well as to our understanding of the biological
correlates of language--it concerns the variability that linguistic
competence can manifest in children under different biological
conditions and life circumstances. Language Competence Across
Populations: Toward a Definition of Specific Language Impairment is
an essential volume for advanced students and scholars in
linguistics and psychology who have an interest in language
acquisition and language disorders, as well as for the clinical
professionals dealing with children with language impairments.
