Written for a period in time which is still evolving, this volume
speaks to many of the civil rights issues that were overshadowed
for much of the 20th century. As civil rights campaigns began to
come into focus, so too did the cries for basic human rights from
many groups. These civil rights movements can be characterized by a
common sense of necessity in American history. These voices argue
collectively for the inclusion of this new timeline of civil rights
campaigns in classrooms across the United States. Topics include
attention to emerging movements in the longer civil rights history
including citizens with disabilities, LGBTQ+, Black Lives Matter,
art and literature movements, economic access, and civil rights
law. Each theme presented in these chapters gives teachers a
background in which to build civil rights curriculum and discussion
for students. In addition to historical analysis, this volume
provides curriculum development solutions to teach these topics
within an interdisciplinary social studies classroom.

Hepatitis is a disease of the liver which affects millions of
Americans each year. For most people, symptoms are mild and are
resolved within a few weeks or months. For others, however,
hepatitis is life-altering, becoming a chronic problem which causes
irreparable internal damage. The diversity of causes - which range
from bacteria and toxins to metabolic disorders - and their
corresponding methods of transmission have made hepatitis a hard
ailment to control. In recent years, vast progress has been made
toward the identification, prevention and treatment of this
disease. Combining scientific knowledge with practical concerns,
this comprehensive guide provides a plethora of information on the
broad class of diseases referred to by the collective term of
hepatitis. With a view toward patient education, it discusses the
history, symptoms, cause and disease course of hepatitis' various
forms. Covering Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B as well as more
recently discovered varieties, the text examines immune system
response to the disease and its effect on liver function.
Non-infectious causes such as metabolic disorders are also
discussed. Practical information regarding diagnostic laboratory
and imaging tests as well as conventional and alternative
treatments is provided. The final chapter lists a variety of
resources for anyone dealing with the reality of the disease
including books, CDC publications, hepatitis organizations and
foundations, drug treatment financial assistance and transplant
information. An extensive glossary of medical terms and an index
are also included.
This book presents a framework for the use of Socratic strategies
in psychotherapy and counseling. The framework has been fine-tuned
in multiple large-scale cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) training
initiatives and is presented and demonstrated with applied case
examples. The text is rich with case examples, tips, tricks,
strategies, and methods for dealing with the most entrenched of
beliefs. The authors draw from diverse therapies and theoretical
orientation to present a framework that is flexible and broadly
applicable. The book also contains extensive guidance on
troubleshooting the Socratic process. Readers will learn how to
apply this framework to specialty populations such as patients with
borderline personality disorder who are receiving dialectical
behavior therapy. Additional chapters contain explicit guidance on
how to layer intervention to bring about change in core belief and
schema. This book is a must read for therapists in training, early
career professionals, supervisors, trainers, and any clinician
looking to refine and enhance their ability to use Socratic
strategies to bring about lasting change.

practice information alongside a comprehensive review of the status
of the field that will help guide alcohol use management and
stimulate future research. Alcohol and Aging is the ultimate
resource for all researchers, educators, clinicians, and
professionals working with older adults who drink.
For those interested in the Confederate effort during the American
Civil War this book is an essential memoir. 'Ned' Moore takes us
into battle with the Rockbridge Artillery and gives us an account
of the Southern Army on campaign throughout the entire war with a
battery that was never far from the action. Moore's experiences of
battle read like a regimental battle honour role-Kernstown,
McDowell, Winchester, Port Republic, Cold Harbor, Cedar Run,
Manassas Junction, Chantilly, Sharpsburg, Chancellorsville,
Gettysburg and others are all reported in clear entertaining
detail. The personalities of the battery and their personal
experience under fire are graphically described. This is a well
written account that takes the reader to the heart of the times and
events when history was being made. A regimental role is included
which makes this book invaluable for genealogists.
This first major study of a curiously neglected term in the history
of sexuality will intrigue students, scholars and enthusiasts

synergy between wildlife and tourism by drawing on their global
experiences.
Eight years have elapsed since the first International Meeting on
Plant Mitochondria was held in Marseilles. Since this date numerous
important developments have occurred within the field and hence a
further conference on this fundamental area of research was
considered well overdue. This volume summarises the lecture and
poster sessions of the second International Meeting on Plant
Mitochondria held in Aberystwyth, July 20- 24th, 1986. The meeting
was held not only to bring together plant scientists interested in
the bioenergetics of plant mitochondria but also those who are
interested in the regulatory role of mitochondria in plant growth
and respiration. A further important aspect of this conference was
to introduce plant physiologists and biochemists to the plant
molecular biologists in an attempt to not only discuss problems of
mutual interest but to also learn much more about the real
questions which the biochemists and physiologists wish to answer.
Hopefully the volume reflects much of the current excitement and
advances being made in the field. Although many of the participants
of the first meeting were present the expertise of Walter Bonner,
Jack Hanson and Gaston Ducet, to name but a few, was sorely missed.
The conference consisted of forty-five minute review lectures
followed by thirty minute research lectures, the summaries of which
are found in the longer articles. The meeting was divided into four
seSSions, namely, organisation of the electron transport chain;
mitochondrial interactions; mitochondrial biogenesis and plant
growth and development.
The Reagan administration has been both eulogised and reviled. This
book explores the Reagan policy, style and substance and considers
the initial aspirations of the two Reagan administrations, examines
the constraints they endured and assesses the legacy of achievement
and failure.;The analysis, which is the work of a group of British
and American scholars, highlights both the accomplishments and the
shortcomings of the first president since Eisenhower to serve two
full terms in the White House. The conclusion is that while the new
conservative approach ended the 20 year expansion of domestic
programmes and made Americans "stand tall" in the world, the
revolution in American politics was incomplete, leaving much
unfinished business to be tackled by Ronald Reagan's successor.
As buildings are responsible for fifty per cent of CO2 emissions,
their design has become the focus of intense technical scrutiny.
Knowing how to build more technically efficient, or ecologically
responsible, buildings, and being able to assemble the social
resources to do so, requires different forms of knowledge and
practice. There is wide contestation over the optimal pathways to
greener buildings design and great diversity in practices of
sustainable architecture. This volume brings together leading
researchers from across the European Union and North America both
to illustrate the diversity of practice and to provide a critical
commentary on this key debate. The reader is provided with an
introduction to competing perspectives on the sustainable
architecture debate, international exemplars of differing practice
and an overview of new theoretical and methodological resources for
understanding and meeting the conceptual, social and technical
challenges of sustainable architecture.
