The A to Z of U.S. Diplomacy from the Civil War to World War I
provides a convenient introduction to a critical period of American
diplomacy. The half-century from 1861 to 1914 formed a crucial time
in the development of the American approach to the world, for the
United States laid the foundations for its 20th century foreign
policy. While the famed Monroe Doctrine insisted that no foreign
power meddle in the American continent, it did not stop the U.S.
from waging war against Spain, mixing in conflicts in Cuba, Chile,
and Mexico, nor in backing independence for Panama, all the while
acquiring smaller Pacific islands. The book includes: o An
introductory essay outlining main themes and problems of the era o
A chronology of main events o Over 1,000 separate cross-referenced
dictionary entries exploring all aspects of American Diplomacy o
Appendixes providing lists of presidents; secretaries of state,
war, and navy; all American diplomatic ministers and ambassadors,
and most U.S. consuls o A photographic section with images of
significant individuals and locations o A bibliography facilitating
further research
The period encompassed by this volume-with the start of the Civil
War and World War I as bookends-has gone by a number of colorful
names: The Imperial Years, The New American Empire, America's Rise
to World Power, Imperial Democracy, The Awkward Years, or Prelude
to World Power, for example. A different organizing theme would
describe the period as one in which a transformation took place in
American foreign relations. But whatever developments or events
historians have emphasized, there is general agreement that the
period was one in which something changed in the American approach
to the world. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of U.S.
Diplomacy from the Civil War to World War I contains a chronology,
an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The
dictionary section has over 1,000 cross-referenced entries on
important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations,
religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for
students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about
diplomacy during this period.
Gesundheitsberatung in der arztlichen Praxis mit dem Ziel der
Verhaltensanderung der Patienten gewinnt immer mehr an Bedeutung.
Eine effektivere Gestaltung ist moeglich, wenn die Einzelberatung
durch Gruppenarbeit erganzt wird, die nach wissenschaftlich
erprobten, standardisierten Beratungsprogrammen erfolgt. Solche
Beratungsprogramme, die von einer interdisziplinaren Arbeitsgruppe
entwickelt wurden, werden einschliesslich der hierzu durchgefuhrten
Begleitforschung und praktischen Hinweisen zur Gruppenarbeit in
diesem Buch vorgestellt. Dabei handelt es sich um Programme fur
koronargefahrdete Patienten, die hinzielen auf eine Veranderung der
Ernahrung einschliesslich des Essverhaltens, auf eine verbesserte
Stressbewaltigung und auf eine Raucherentwoehnung. Ein weiteres
Programm richtet sich an Patienten mit chronischen Schmerzen.
