During the American Civil War, Maryland did not join the
Confederacy but nonetheless possessed divided loyalties and
sentiments. These divisions came to a head in the years that
followed the war. In Loyalty on the Line, David K. Graham argues
that Maryland did not adopt a unified postbellum identity and that
the state remained divided, with some identifying with the state's
Unionist efforts and others maintaining a connection to the
Confederacy and its defeated cause. Depictions of Civil War
Maryland, both inside and outside the state, hinged on
interpretations of the state's loyalty. The contested Civil War
memories of Maryland not only mirror a much larger national
struggle and debate but also reflect a conflict that is more
intense and vitriolic than that in the larger national narrative.
The close proximity of conflicting Civil War memories within the
state contributed to a perpetual contestation. In addition, those
outside the state also vigorously argued over the place of Maryland
in Civil War memory in order to establish its place in the divisive
legacy of the war. By using the dynamics interior to Maryland as a
lens for viewing the Civil War, Graham shows how divisive the war
remained and how central its memory would be to the United States
well into the twentieth century.

Clinical Interventions in Criminal Justice Settings balances
theoretical frameworks and research methodology to examine the
effective evidence-based practices and principles for populations
within the criminal justice system. The book explores the major
clinical issues that are relevant for adopting evidence-based
practices and demonstrates how to implement them. Topics include
legislation, law enforcement, courts, corrections, actuarial
assessment instruments, treatment fidelity, diverse populations,
mental illness, substance use and juvenile delinquency. Clinical
Interventions in Criminal Justice Settings models opportunities for
evidence-based practice during entry into the criminal justice
system (arrest), prosecution (court, pretrial release, jail, and
prison), sentencing (community supervision, incarceration), and
corrections (jail, prison, probation and parole).
There is a reason why people claim great respect for officers of
the law: the job, by description, is hard-if not deadly. It takes a
certain kind of person to accept the consequences of the job-
seeing the very worst situations, on a regular basis, and knowing
that one's life is on the line every hour of every day. Working in
law enforcement is emotionally and psychologically draining. It
affects these public servants both on and off the job. Said
plainly, shaking an officers' hand when you see them or posting a
sign in the front yard that reads "Support the Badge" is lip
service. Even going as far as to donate money to a crowdsourcing
fundraising site does little to support the long-term professional
development needs of officers. These are surface level signs of
solidarity, and do little in terms of showing respect for the job
and those who do it. For those who want to do more, this text
provides reasons and a rationale for doing better by these public
servants. Showing respect does not mean that one agrees with
whatever another person or institution claims to be the "right"
way. Showing respect and admiration means that we charge
individuals to live up to their fullest potentials and integrate
innovation wherever possible. In the case of policing in the era of
Black Lives Matters, policing as usual simply is not an option any
longer. It is disrespectful, to both the officers and those who are
being policed, to rest on the laurels of past policing tactics. As
we enter a time period in which police interactions are recorded
(dash cams or body cams, for example) and new populations are being
targeted (Latinx people), there is much to learn about what is
working and what is not.
This book contains the admission record for the first 888 patients
admitted to the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, Georgia.
The hospital, the state's first mental institution, was authorized
in 1837 and opened to patients at the end of 1842. Each patient
record begins with a list of basic facts, with their name, county
of origin, age, marital status, and other facts depending on the
particular patient. The introductory information is followed by a
description of symptoms that led the patient to the hospital, along
with possible causes of illness. Records end with dates of
admission then those for elopement (escape), dismission, or death.
The number by each individual is the sequential patient number
given in early admission records.
The 1805 Georgia Land Lottery was the first experiment of its kind
in the United States. Partly in response to the Yazoo and Pine
Barrens Land Frauds of the 1790s, the people of Georgia decided to
distribute newly acquired lands using a lottery, thereby minimizing
opportunities for corruption. Land lotteries had been used
previously on a limited basis, but the distribution of public lands
on a mass scale by lottery is unique to Georgia. New land was
surveyed into square lots using public funds and then distributed
by chance to eligible citizens. Widows and orphans, classes
typically disadvantaged under the headright system, were
specifically allowed to participate in the land lottery. As the
first of eight Georgia land lotteries, the 1805 Land Lottery served
as the operational model for those to follow and established
districts and land lots as the foundational units of Georgia's
survey system (over the township, range, and section). The purpose
of this book is to document the record of title transfer from the
State of Georgia to an individual for each land lot distributed
through the land lottery process in 1805. The information contained
in this book was compiled from a variety of sources, primarily the
List of Persons Entitled to Draws, the grant books, and the
Numerical List. Sources used that relate to specific events and
requests include the Executive Department Minutes, records of the
Georgia General Assembly, and three series of land lottery
documents. In addition, the List of Fortunate Drawers, the
Proceedings and Ledger of Fractions Sales, and the Index Leading to
Page were used for verification purposes.
I have research over four thousand hours to find the connections

This is a new release of the original 1955 edition.
Lunar Helium-3 mines, a space elevator, Martian microbes, iShields,
theistic tech-savvy terrorists, and a love story. What more could
you want? It's later on in the century, when the Antarctic and
Greenland ice sheets are melting, the seas are rising, polar bears
are only found in zoos, the only ski resorts are near the Arctic
Circle, and the finest wines come from Scandinavia. The only
remaining oil reserves of any significance lie in Africa under the
control of North American Union troops. When renewable sources of
energy failed to live up to their promise, the world turned to
fusion reactors fed by Helium-3 mined on the moon. The
infrastructure constructed to support this option includes a lunar
mining base, a fleet of lunar transport ships, a 35,700 kilometer
high space elevator, and a worldwide evacuated-tube train system
that travels at speeds up to 3,000 kilometers per hour. Johan
Taylor, known as Oxy by his friends, doesn't mind the extremely
long days and equally long nights. He has a great job and works
with people that respect him. Although, it isn't quite as exciting
as the time he had ascended the face of Everest, it isn't exactly
boring, either. And he takes satisfaction in knowing how to keep
the lunar mines running that supply Helium-3 to the Earth's fusion
reactors. However, he doesn't understand what drives the elusive
terrorist group, the Sowers of God, to attack these very same
reactors; or why a former co-worker, and friend, had left the lunar
base to join the group. Oxy longs to rekindle a lost relationship
with Adrianna, the only woman he had ever really loved, but now
she's preparing to travel to Mars to investigate a discovery so
significant, it hasn't even been completely revealed to the
astronauts. But when Oxy finds something on the moon's surface that
entirely defies explanation, it sets him on a course of
self-discovery that will have him rethink his values, re-unite with
someone from his past, and risk his life in the midst of a
cataclysm to rescue those that mean the most to him. His greatest
concern, though, is whether he will ever see Adrianna again.
