Making a fanzine is an act of rebellion, even more so if it is
published and produced by a woman. The grrrls of today use them to
inspire countless young people around the world, to take control of
their lives and to create their own culture. These homemade
publications are a quick and cheap way to spread their ideas and
dismantle the usual stereotypes. Traditionally hand-drawn,
photocopied, and stapled together, the format of fanzines are now
as diverse as their subject matter, with online platforms and
social networks fast becoming the norm. The fanzine is more alive
than ever!

America's foster care system has a noble goal-to care for children
that for various reasons can no longer be cared for by their
families-but years of inattention and inadequate funding have left
many foster youth in a precarious state. This resource provides a
comprehensive and authoritative overview of the American foster
care system. Areas of coverage include the scaffolding of foster
care systems in the various states (each of which operate their own
unique systems through their social service agencies); conditions
under which children are taken out of their families of origin and
placed in foster care; the experiences of both young children and
older teens in foster homes; challenges for foster children who
"age out" of the system; and proposals to reform and improve foster
care across the nation. Geared for students, this book contains
chapters devoted to the background and history of foster care in
America; the systems's problems, controversies, and solutions;
original essay contributions exploring various facets of the
system; profiles of leading foster care activists and
organizations; governmental data and excerpts of primary documents
on the topic; and an annotated list of important books, scholarly
journals, and nonprint sources for further research. It closes with
a detailed chronology, glossary of terms, and subject index.

An indispensable resource for all readers, this book summarizes the
founding of America alongside the personal and public life of one
of America's most influential Founders through a comprehensive
investigation of Hamilton's extensive writings. A product of
extremely humble birth, Alexander Hamilton rose to become one of
America's leading political figures, helping to determine the
direction of nearly all of the seminal events of the founding of
the country. The author introduces, provides notes on, and
critically evaluates approximately 60 key documents that Hamilton
wrote from his youth in the Caribbean through his leadership of the
Federalist Party in the 1800s. In examining these writings, the
book covers important periods of American history including the
American Revolution, the ratification of the Constitution, the
formation of the nation's first financial system, and the
establishment of political parties. This book is a valuable
resource for anyone who wants to study the key moments of the
revolutionary and founding periods of America through the life and
legacy of one of the country's most eminent statesmen. The work
concludes with a chronology that provides historical context for
the most significant personal and political events in Hamilton's
life and a bibliography that offers a basis for further study.
