"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to
make it come true."
--Richard Bach
Many teenagers feel that high school is one of the most
difficult and confusing times of their life. Life rides a roller
coaster as it hits its fantastic highs and then drops back down to
its unwanted lows. This is natural; it happens to everyone.
Unfortunately, many teenagers feel alone in the world. They wonder
why they were punished and everyone else's life seems to be going
so well.
The collection of poems in "You're not Alone" reflects the pain,
confusion, love, hate, heartbreak, anxiety, and loneliness that all
teenagers go through at one point and time. It reminds them that
they are not rowing the boat by themselves but rather, that they
have an entire crew rowing with them. They are all attempting to
reach a like goal: To make it through their teenage years.
Their wish will come true.

Founded by Peter the Great in 1718, Russia's police were key
instruments of tsarist power. In the reign of Alexander II
(1855-1881), local police forces took on new importance. The
liberation of 23 million serfs from landlord control, growing fear
of crime, and the terrorist violence of the closing years
challenged law enforcement with new tasks that made worse what was
already a staggering burden. ("I am obliged to inform Your Imperial
Highness that the police often fail to carry out their assignments
and, when they do execute them, they do so poorly because of their
moral corruption...") This book describes the regime's decades-long
struggle to reform and strengthen the police. The author reviews
the local police's role and performance in the mid-nineteenth
century and the implications of the largely unsuccessful effort to
transform them. From a longer-term perspective, the study considers
how the police's systemic weaknesses undermined tsarist rule,
impeded a range of liberalizing reforms, perpetuated reliance on
the military to maintain law and order, and gave rise to vigilante
justice. While its primary focus is on European Russia, the
analysis also covers much of the imperial periphery, discussing the
police systems in the Baltic Provinces, Congress Poland, the
Caucasus, Central Asia, and Siberia.
This book, first published in 1932, demonstrates how the control of
certain â-ismsâ has for long moulded the interpretation of
Indian belief and ritual by Western writers particularly. In every
chapter there is some new coordination, often iconoclastic of
then-accepted theory, whilst the new wealth of customs carefully
recorded is astonishing. Long disputed problems such as that of the
Maratha âdevakâ, or that of the ceremonial sowing of seedlings
known to Western scholars as the âgardens of Adonisâ, have at
last been settled through careful research.

The Bauhaus, the legendary school in Dessau, Germany, transformed
architecture and design around the world. This book broke new
ground when first published in 1991 by introducing psychoanalysis,
geometry, early childhood education, and popular culture into the
standard political history of the Bauhaus. The ABC's of Triangle,
Square, Circle also introduced two young designers, Ellen Lupton
and J. Abbott Miller, whose multidisciplinary approach changed the
field of design writing and research. With a new preface by Lupton
and Miller, this collection of visually and intellectually
stimulating essays is a must-read for educators and students.

It is not the object of this book to offer directly any analysis of
animism or of the religion of the Prophet, still less to follow any
of the many side tracks taken by Hindu philosophy, but primarily to
record as many customs as possible before it is too late, and to
attempt to show how far the concept of a supernatural cosmic power
dominates popular practice. The reader will find few references to
customs collected by other writers, and this is because the author
could not but think that the circular questionnaire which has so
often been the means of gathering information led to many errors.
