Focusing on events in Rwanda, Armenia, and the former Yugoslavia as well as the Holocaust, Genocide and Gender in the Twentieth Century investigates how historically- and culturally-specific ideas led to genocidal sexual violence. Expert contributors also consider how these ideas, in conjunction with issues relating to femininity, masculinity and understandings of gendered identities, contributed to perpetrators' tools and strategies for ethnic cleansing and genocide. The 2nd edition features: * Five brand new chapters which explore: imperialism, race, gender and genocide; the Cambodian genocide; memory and intergenerational transmission of Holocaust trauma; and genocide, gender and memory in the Armenian case. * An extended and enhanced introduction which makes use of recent scholarship on gender and violence. * Historiographical and bibliographical updates throughout. * Key primary document - excerpt from the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide. Updated and revised in its second edition, Genocide and Gender in the Twentieth Century is the authoritative study on the complex gender dimensions of ethnic cleansing and genocide in the 20th century.

This is a spectacular, large format, 96-page hardcover book featuring 46 color panoramic images by one of New Hampshire's leading photographers. Most of the photographs span two pages and measure 21" x 7."
According to the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, "Technically and artistically, these are among the most striking images ever made in the Granite State -- from the Seacoast to the North Country. They express perfectly the qualities that make our state special, from forested wilderness areas to historic buildings and stone walls." The book has been in progress since 1991, a project that required Randall to drive thousands of miles across New Hampshire to record scenes in all seasons, especially the spectacular fall foliage for which the state is so famous.
As New Hampshire Commissioner of Agriculture Stephen H. Taylor writes in his foreword, "Peter Randall brings to his New Hampshire photography a deep affection for and keen understanding of the state, its natural environment, and the idiosyncrasies of its people and culture. "The photographs in this book reflect the diversity and complexity of the state's landscape, and especially the fascinating interplay of forests, fields, waters, and built features that make the New Hampshire countryside so appealing."

On December 20, 2011 the world stopped spinning for The Flying Randelli Traveling Circus. The Ringmaster was being transported to the nearest trauma center to start a series of surgeries that may or may not save his life. What transpired in the following year is a harrowing tale of crisis and change. Our family roles shift as we age, hopefully growing into the best possible version of ourselves. How we handle changing roles in the midst of crisis can mean all the difference between survival and transformation. We cannot possibly know on a seemingly mundane Tuesday morning that life will change irrevocably with the next phone call we answer. Come along on a wild tale spun through a menagerie of circus performers and their loving, and ultimately healing audience.

The Green Valley reclaimed coal refuse site, near Terre Haute, Ind., was mined for coal from 1948 to 1963. Subsurface coal was cleaned and sorted at land surface, and waste material was deposited over the native glacial till. Approximately 2.7 million cubic yards of waste was deposited over 159 acres (92.3 hectares) in tailings ponds and gob piles. During 1993, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation, improved the site by grading gob piles, filling tailings ponds, and covering the refuse with a layer of glacial drift. During 2008, the Division of Reclamation and U.S. Geological Survey initiated a cooperative investigation to characterize the hydrogeology of the site and construct a calibrated groundwater flow model that could be used to simulate the results of future remedial actions. In support of the modeling, a data-collection network was installed at the Green Valley site to measure weather components, geophysical properties, groundwater levels, and stream and seep flow. Results of the investigation indicate that (1) there is negligible overland flow from the site, (2) the prevailing groundwater-flow direction is from northeast to southwest, with a much smaller drainage to the northeast, (3) there is not a direct hydraulic connection between the refuse and West Little Sugar Creek, (4) about 24 percent of the groundwater recharge emerges through seeps, and water from the seeps evaporates or eventually flows to West Little Sugar Creek and the Green Valley Mine Pond, and (5) about 72 percent of groundwater recharge moves vertically downward from the coal refuse into the till and follows long, slow flow paths to eventual dischage points.

Calvin Didn't Know addresses African-American History in a very engaging, non-combative, fun manner. As the reader becomes more involved in the story, he discovers interesting facts about day-to-day inventions of African-Americans. The book is designed as a reader for upper elementary and middle school students but can be enjoyed by both youth and adults. Along with the story, the book includes biographical material, a list of patent information, and a short vocabulary section. The story of Calvin began as a story told to elementary and secondary school students at African-American History Month presentations throughout the greater Atlanta, GA area. Over a series of years, word of the story grew until it was requested at over 40 schools during the 20 (school) day month of February 1990. It was at that time that the decision was made to turn the story into a book. The manuscript has been read and enjoyed by individuals from the 4th grade to adulthood. In addition, the manuscript has been reviewed by reading, social studies, and science teachers and all agree that it would be a welcome addition to their classroom materials. Of all the comments about the story during its 10+ years of existence, probably the most poignant came from a 5th grade student, Heather C., who wrote: "Dear Mr. Randall, I loved your story, and it made me think life would be a wreck without black people and I no longer think black people are of no use." What made this particular statement so "poignant" was my realization after the teacher´ s following comment: "Mr. R., Heather C. is a black student." During my discussions with parents, students and fellow educators, I have found that Calvin Didn't Know addressesan area where there is, unfortunately, a dearth of material. A search for engaging material for elementary and middle school use in this area has frustrated parents, students, and educators alike. Outside of simple biographies and biographical materia

Explores the emergent threat of U.S. imperialism (1881 to 1895).

Hashim Khan, the legendary squash rackets player, established a record of victories that has no parallel in the game. This book is his story. The style may startle the reader at first. Hashim never learned to write English, or even speak it in the textbook fashion. So he "talked" the book in a great number of sessions, in the court and out of it, with Richard E. Randall, one of his students and a professional writer. The collaboration worked well. The book gives Hashim as he actually thinks and talks. It gives detailed instruction on the Khan grip, stroke, stance, court strategy, ploys, and favorite combination shots, plus a wealth of observations on fitness, stamina, and gamesmanship.
