Harrison P. Spader sat a little too close. Shook hands a little too
long. High-fived a little too hard. And hugged a little too much.
Harrison P. Spader was a personal space invader. But that all
changes when he learns the Space Saver rhyme: Arms out front, then
out real wide. Now place your arms back by your sides. Author
Christianne Jones uses humour and relatable situations to teach
early learners about self awareness. This entertaining picture book
in the Little Boost series will tackle a much-needed topic for
teachers, parents, and librarians.
During the American Civil War, an educated Black woman posed as an
illiterate slave in the home of the rebel President Jefferson
Davis. Spying on the war councils of Davis and his advisers, she
risked her life to send vital intelligence to the U.S. military.
This was Mary Richards’ one-woman fight in the ongoing battle to
end slavery. Born into slavery herself but freed to be educated in
the North, she was sent to Africa as a teenage missionary. On her
return to the American South in wartime, she was recruited as a
Union spy and sent on her dangerous mission to the ‘Confederate
White House’. She risked her life again after the war, teaching
freed former slaves in rural Georgia, in the face of growing
threats from the Ku Klux Klan. ‘She Spied for Freedom’ is about
those who shaped Richards’ world—among them, her benefactor and
spymaster, Elizabeth Van Lew; her fellow agents; her three
husbands; and those, like Jefferson Davis and his wife, she dealt
with in the camp of the enemy. 'She Spied for Freedom' is the story
of a lone warrior for justice who faced poverty, illness, brutal
racism, and life-threatening danger—but never surrendered.
Be Prepared to Face Any Medical Emergency With This Essential Guide
While many first aid manuals provide valuable instructions on how
to respond to various medical situations, they may not meet the
needs of the average citizen preparing to meet a broad range of
medical emergencies, with limited skills, limited supplies, and
limited or non-existent support from the Emergency Management
System and medical professionals. In this color-photo illustrated
manual, veteran survivalist and trained EMT James C. Jones did not
create "just another" first aid book. Instead, each subject is
approached from the perspective of equipping the untrained citizen
to provide care for family members and neighbors, under extremely
trying conditions, without expert help. Prepper's Medical Manual
includes basic first aid subjects, such as bandaging, splinting,
control of bleeding, and treatment of shock, along with those
subjects specifically associated with the needs of those responding
to true disaster emergencies. Complete with multiple step-by-step
response guides and checklists for stocking personal medical
emergency kits, Prepper's Medical Manual can ensure readiness for
even the worst-case scenario.
This handbook begins with the history of Supply Chain (SC)
Engineering, it goes on to explain how the SC is connected today,
and rounds out with future trends. The overall merit of the book is
that it introduces a framework similar to sundial that allows an
organization to determine where their company may fall on the SC
Technology Scale. The book will describe those who are using more
historic technologies, companies that are using current
collaboration tools for connecting their SC to other global SCs,
and the SCs that are moving more towards cutting edge technologies.
This book will be a handbook for practitioners, a teaching resource
for academics, and a guide for military contractors. Some figures
in the eBook will be in color. Presents a decision model for
choosing the best Supply Chain Engineering (SCE) strategies for
Service and Manufacturing Operations with respect to Industrial
Engineering and Operations Research techniques Offers an economic
comparison model for evaluating SCE strategies for manufacturing
outsourcing as opposed to keeping operations in-house Demonstrates
how to integrate automation techniques such as RFID into planning
and distribution operations Provides case studies of SC inventory
reductions using automation from AIT and RFID research Covers
planning and scheduling, as well as transportation and SC theory
and problems
Now preppers can be ready for any possible emergency as James C.
Jones shares his fifty years of experience as an advocate for
survival, preparedness, and self-reliance. In Total Survival,
veteran survivalist James C. Jones delivers tips that cover the
most likely needs of readers and for which there is useful and
practical instruction. His goal is to share a variety of practical
survival skills, principles, and ideas in an easy-to read format
that will aid the reader in becoming stronger, safer, and more
self-reliant. The ten principles of survival that Jones sets out
are derived from analysis of true survival accounts. Studies of why
some people survived fires, plane crashes, assaults, and other
deadly situations while others in the same situations perished
confirm that these principles made the difference. His table of
contents includes: 1: Ten Principles of Survival (including
Anticipate and Stay Calm) 2: Ten Disasters to Prepare For
(including Home Fire While Asleep and Home Invasion by Intruder).
3: Ten Items for the Prepared Home (including Emergency Plans and
Packs) 4: Ten Items You Should Always Carry (including a Miniature
LED flashlight and a Whistle) 5: Ten Things You Should Have in Your
Survival Pack(s) (including Water and Weapons) 6: Ten Ways to Avoid
and Survive Street Crime (including Carjacking and Active Shooter)
7: Ten Self-Defense Moves You Should Know (including Front Choke
Counter and Handgun Defenses) 8: Ten Medical Skills You Should Know
(including Cardiac Arrest and Shock) 9: Ten Ways to Gather and
Purify Water (including Boiling Water and Distillation) 10: Ten
Ways to Gather and Store Food (including Foraging and Trapping) 11:
Ten Ways to Start and Maintain a Fire (including Fire by Flit and
Steel and Fire by Solar Heat 12: Ten Shelters You Should Know How
to Build (including Fallout Shelters and Snow Shelters) 13:
Terrorism Although the data and concepts in Total Survival are
derived from accounts of acute disasters-such as tornadoes, floods,
earthquakes, and epidemics-they apply equally well to chronic
disasters, such as economic decline, shortages, unemployment,
climate change, and personal family or health issues. In reality,
all of life is a survival challenge, and a survival emergency is
just a high-intensity life test. These ten survival principles are
the key to success in everyday life, especially during an
emergency.

What Are the Three Decisions?
Each day we are bombarded with a seemingly endless stream of
choices, a nonstop barrage of options that must be weighed and
considered. When it comes right down to it, though, most of the
decisions that we make on a day-to-day basis are trivial ones. How
many choices will you make today that will have a measurable impact
on your life next week? Or a year from now? Ten years from now?
Charlie Jones shows us that, when we clear away the clutter
that fills our daily existence, we'll find that there are only
three decisions that determine the course of each of our lives.
What are they? Read The Three Decisions and find out
First published in 1997, this volume examines how Bulgaria has been
an early starter, but a slow and often erratic mover in the path of
stabilization and systemic transition. This book provides a most
useful account of the development to date, and of the costs
associated with Bulgarian strategy (or lack of), empirical analysis
and theoretical reflections, especially in comparison with other
transition economies. It will be of great interest to any scholar,
official or businessman involved not only with Bulgaria, but more
generally with post-communist countries.
In Teaching Matters Most, Thomas McCann, Alan C. Jones, and Gail
Aronoff make the case that the single most important factor in
continuous school improvement is the quality of instruction in
schools. Unlike other books that stop at evaluating teachers and
instruction, these authors argue that school leaders must work to
grow the instructional capacities within their schools. To meet
this goal, they offer school leaders a three-step process that
involves:(1) envisioning what good teaching looks like (2)
measuring the quality of current instruction against this standard,
and (3) working relentlessly to move the quality of instruction
closer and closer to the ideal.

Presently, ideas about food are in flux from a variety of sources.
Examples of this evolution include recognizing the importance of
food on health by public health and medical professionals; changing
consumer desires around the production methods and components of
their food; a greater focus on injustices within the national food
system; evolving knowledge of how the food system impacts the
environment; and, shifting economic and technological realities
that underpin where and how food is produced, distributed and sold.
These shifting ideas about food exist in contrast to the narrative
of the highly functioning, industrialized, global food system that
emerged in the second half of the 20th century. This edited volume
fills a void by presenting a comprehensive and engaging coverage of
the key issues at the intersection of public health, policy, and
food. The Intersection of Food and Public Health is comprised of
research that examines current problems in food studies and how
various stakeholders are attempting to address problems in unique
ways. The book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate
students in a variety of disciplines, including public
administration, public policy, public health, economics, political
science, nutrition, dietetics, and food studies.
As RFID technology is becoming increasingly popular, the need has
arisen to address the challenges and approaches to successful
implementation. RFID and Auto-ID in Planning and Logistics: A
Practical Guide for Military UID Applications presents the concepts
for students, military personnel and contractors, and corporate
managers to learn about RFID and other automatic information
capture technologies, and their integration into planning and
logistics functions. The text includes comparisons of RFID with
technologies such as bar codes, satellite tags, and global
positioning systems and provides a decision model for choosing the
appropriate technology for a given application. By providing the
histories, current use, and future applications of RFID and
automatic identification technologies (AIT), the book discusses
supply chain planning and logistics uses for these technologies. It
addresses the fundamental relationships in RFID, including how
antennae, integrated circuitry, and substrate work together. The
text provides detailed information for troubleshooting design
issues and an understanding of passive, semi-passive, and active
tags, so an informed choice of technology type can be made. It
describes the unique identification (UID) standards necessary for
military contractors and how to use RFID and AIT to meet those
requirements. This book is unique in the depth of material
presented, making it appropriate for engineers, students, and
operational personnel as a resource for foundational concepts for
integrating logistics and RFID. A comprehensive reference, this
volume can is an academic text, a practitioner's handbook, and a
military contractor's UID guide for using RFID and AIT
technologies.

In Victorian England, Amelia B. Edwards was an iconic cultural
figure, admired by Trollope and Browning for her best-selling
fiction and by the wider public for her witty, thought-provoking
travel writing. In later life, she became a celebrated historian,
bringing fresh understanding of the world of Ancient Egypt to a
fascinated public and founding the Egyptian Exploration Fund
(Society). This new biography uses previously overlooked sources to
tell the story of her fascinating and unconventional life - her
travels, travails and feminist activism - as well as touching on
her occasionally problematic views on race. In appreciation of a
figure ahead of her time, it examines her involvement in suffrage
and animal rights societies as well as revealing new insights into
Edwards’ loving same-sex relationships with Ellen Rice Byrne and
Lucy Renshaw. In doing so, it reveals a versatile, creative, witty,
independent woman, and a true pioneer of her time.
Bringing together archaeological, paleoenvironmental,
paleontological and genetic data, this book makes a first attempt
to reconstruct African population histories from out species'
evolution to the Holocene. Africa during Marine Isotope Stages
(MIS) 6 to 2 (~190-12,000 years ago) witnessed the biological
development and behavioral florescence of our species. Modern human
population dynamics, which involved multiple population expansions,
dispersals, contractions and extinctions, played a central role in
our species' evolutionary trajectory. So far, the demographic
processes - modern human population sizes, distributions and
movements - that occurred within Africa during this critical period
have been consistently under-addressed. The authors of this volume
aim at (1) examining the impact of this glacial-interglacial-
glacial cycle on human group sizes, movements and distributions
throughout Africa; (2) investigating the macro- and
micro-evolutionary processes underpinning our species' anatomical
and behavioral evolution; and (3) setting an agenda whereby Africa
can benefit from, and eventually contribute to, the increasingly
sophisticated theoretical and methodological palaeodemographic
frameworks developed on other continents.
