'Changing Chauvinism One Book at a Time' Imagine men whom have suffered some of the same travesties that women have suffered...... Yes, men that are intuned with their emotions; who are abused, cheated on, and heartbroken. Imagine husbands and boyfriends lied to, kicked out and unsupported. Imagine an unattended spouse, a sensitive thug, and a scorned gentleman. Women bashing? My experience in writing "Changing Chauvinism One Book at a Time," comes from the internal hurt and pain; emotionally, that I have suffered. I've been in love. I've hurt others and have also been hurt by others. Yet, during the painful times, no woman would trust in my emotions. Leaving me to become abandoned by someone in whom I really loved. The agony of the matter was that, she was apparently under the impression that I wasn't hurting, I didn't nor don't, care. When in actually, I was torn inside. My experience, I believe, allows me firsthand to write and describe the myths behind these clichs.........That real men DO experience emotions; has fears, doubts, and all the struggles and strengths that our ancestors possessed. Yes We are a new breed of men, who loves harder and with an urgency and passion.........because, our understanding is that when we contribute to any endeavor or love; it strengthens us It never weakens; it is always invested and brings some type of return. Men are human too, needing to be put on a neither more powerful, nor less sensitive, pedestal. Although our Y-Chromosome proves to be strong; our X-Chromosome allows us to feel, love and show compassion. My tales are of that of broken men, of suffering or suffered, man. The what is going on 'Inside' of a man, that which we can hide, yet not ignore.

Trials in the treatment of the leukemias are sometimes based on a hypothesis, as in the case of exchange transfusion [33] or the use of antimetabolites [86]. Or they are conducted empirically as the results of chance observations, as in the case of the use of the nitrogen mustards, urethane, and the Vinca alkaloids. Or they lie between the two, aiming at making use of well established biological facts: examples are the use of ACTH, cortisone and, more recently, the antibiotics. What is true for bacteria may also perhaps be true, if not for elephants, at least for the malignant cells of mammals. It was this idea that lay behind the first attempts at treating cancer and leukemia with antibiotics. The results obtained by the use of certain substances extracted from micro-organisms (actinomycin, azaserine, mito mycin, rufocromomycin), although encouraging at times, were inconsistent. The action of rubidomycin appears to cover a wider spectrum and to be more consistent and more effective. As in the case of Homer and Christopher Columbus, the honor of having given birth to rubidomycin is claimed by more than one country and town. In fact, the same product was discovered in the same year, though quite independently, by a group of French workers [184] who described it under the name of rubidomycin, and by a group of Italian workers [87] who studied it under the name of daunomycin.

When juvenile violence and crime skyrocketed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, every state in the country responded by significantly altering the jurisdiction, purpose, process, sentencing, and services of their juvenile justice systems. Analyzing the history of juvenile justice over the last two hundred years, The Cycle of Juvenile Justice is an illuminating examination of the patterns in which changes like these play out. This much-needed and timely new edition provides an account of changes in the American juvenile justice system from 1990 to the present, and, by building on and expanding the ideas of the original edition, the authors refine their demonstration of how juvenile justice policy undergoes cycles of reform, alternating between offender-focused and offense-focused policies. All of the material from the previous edition has been revised and updated, and to incorporate recent key developments in juvenile justice, many new chapters have been added . Each of these provides historical context on each change, examining the rhetoric surrounding policies and their implementation, and assesses whether the policy and system changes resulted in a perpetuation of the cycle or represents real progress and reform. Analyzing the best and worst aspects of these policies, as well as the state of the present system, this book will continue to provide a controversial and challenging look at the issues involved in juvenile justice.
