This book meticulously recreates the most important episodes in Czech-German relations in what is now the Czech Republic. Drawing on extensive archival research, Stephen M. Thomas depicts the formation of the Czechoslovak Republic from the ruined Austro-Hungarian empire and examines political and public life between world wars via the ethnic rivalry between Germans and Czechs. He questions the nature, legitimacy and political viability of the nation state, and especially its relationship to ethnic minorities, such as the Slovaks. Confrontational nationalism and the use of ethnicity as a political tool are no less common today than they were in the 20th century. This book's radical contribution to studies of nationalism and ethnicity is that it juxtaposes German and Czech perspectives of power and oppression as part of the same story. This framework allows us to appreciate new complexities regarding the creation of Czechoslovakia and ponder them in 21st century terms.

Mind Vapor by Karen Killen Alexander No road through life is exactly the same: some paths are lined with cobblestones and flowers, some are rough roads, some are seemingly endless tunnels. These roads make up the paths that we have to traverse at some point on our journey; and although the walk may not be at all pleasant or easy, we pick up something vital along the way and take it with us as we move along. In Mind Vapor: From Pen to Paper, Karen Killen Alexander shares her personal journey through life's ups and downs, the memories she made, and the lessons she learned as she deals with hardships and challenges and while recognizing to be grateful for the smallest of blessings. About the Author Karen Killen Alexander was born and raised in Maryland. She was married to a Naval officer, during which she became active in military and civilian community functions. She is now divorced and a single mother to two chidlren who are currently attending college.
Get Your Armor On is very personal to me as it was born out of a desire to help my children learn to cope with the drugs, the language and inappropriate behaviors they witnessed on a daily basis in school and in the world. My prayer for this book is twofold: first, that the words and the scripture these teens read would become deeply rooted in their spirits and as a result, instill courage, wisdom, and confidence; further empowering their walk in a way they have never before experienced. Second, that parents and their children would develop a more open dialogue with each other, forging a strong, unbreakable bond between the two; that would mightily reduce the power of the enemy. My hope is that both are encouraged to seek a more intimate relationship with God so that no one goes into battle unprepared again - ever.
Preterm births (PTB) are the largest obstetrical problem in America. An infant's preterm birth presents an extraordinary life situation for fathers, whose voices are rarely heard. A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used to explore the experience of fathering preterm infants from fathers' perspectives. A purposive sample of five fathers of infants born between 24 and 36 weeks gestation participated in three semi-structured interviews over four-months beginning within six months of the birth. Each father took photographs expressing their experience of fathering. Van Manen's phenomenological approach guided the analysis of interview transcripts and photos and Madison's nine principles were used to ensure rigor. Guided by van Manen's four existentials, the 10 emergent themes included "anticipating a future of possibilities," "worry, waiting and not knowing," "running out of time," "letting others in my world," "living the space of fathering at home and work," "fatherhood unleashed/ becoming closer," and "man in the mirror." Findings will help inform nursing education, policy, and innovative practices of caring for fathers in the community and hospital settings.
Written by a woman from one woman's perspective, Seasons with the Meistersinger is an intimate view of 19th century German composer Richard Wagner, the times in which he lived and the women with whom he shared his life. Unlike most biographies, music criticisms, and psychological studies of Wagner's works, Seasons challenges the widely-held conclusion that his development as an artist was hindered by a simple, slow-minded wife incapable of understanding the art he was attempting to achieve. Through detailed, factually based anecdotes, the reader comes to know his wife Minna Planer, a woman of talent, both beautiful and practical without whom Wagner might never have achieved anything, much less his extraordinary uniting of poetry, music and drama.
