Karen Anderson challenges the view that women have everywhere and always been subjugated to men, arguing that domination and the social institutions that support it are both socially and historically specific. She explores this important theme by focusing on North American colonial history to show how the coming of the French undermined the equal relations between men and women in the Huron and the Montagnais peoples.

The desegregation crisis in "Little Rock" is a landmark of
American history: on September 4, 1957, after the Supreme Court
struck down racial segregation in public schools, Arkansas Governor
Orval Faubus called up the National Guard to surround Little Rock
Central High School, preventing black students from going in. On
September 25, 1957, nine black students, escorted by federal
troops, gained entrance. With grace and depth, "Little Rock"
provides fresh perspectives on the individuals, especially the
activists and policymakers, involved in these dramatic events.
Looking at a wide variety of evidence and sources, Karen Anderson
examines American racial politics in relation to changes in youth
culture, sexuality, gender relations, and economics, and she
locates the conflicts of Little Rock within the larger political
and historical context.
Anderson considers how white groups at the time, including
middle class women and the working class, shaped American race and
class relations. She documents white women's political
mobilizations and, exploring political resentments, sexual fears,
and religious affiliations, illuminates the reasons behind
segregationists' missteps and blunders. Anderson explains how the
business elite in Little Rock retained power in the face of
opposition, and identifies the moral failures of business leaders
and moderates who sought the appearance of federal compliance
rather than actual racial justice, leaving behind a legacy of white
flight, poor urban schools, and institutional racism.
Probing the conflicts of school desegregation in the mid-century
South, "Little Rock" casts new light on connections between social
inequality and the culture wars of modern America.
Power dynamics in the workplace are a given.For those in
leadership, the imbalance of power often leads to feeling
frustrated, undervalued, and overlooked-especially in women and
minorities-impacting both self-esteem and the bottom line. For
those feeling alone and unsure of how to respond, Power Up Power
Down gives specific strategies to (finally) reclaim control and
identifies proven ways to create a 'win-win" outcome. Too often,
power situations can feel like a "rock and a hard place" - if
you're too assertive, you're labeled (at best) as overbearing and
unapproachable. If you're too passive, your voice, ideas, and
opinions are ignored. But as Viktor Frankl stated, "Between
stimulus and response, there is a space." Our "real" power is
knowing how to tap into that space and respond intentionally. Gail
Rudolph helps readers discover how to harness their innate
interpersonal power, revealing cues and signals that helps us
respond effectively. By recognizing the ways to value all people
(including yourself), you can make a choice to become empowered!

Accessible and affordable housing can enable community living,
maximize independence, and promote health for vulnerable
populations. However, the United States faces a shortage of
affordable and accessible housing for low-income older adults and
individuals living with disabilities. This shortage is expected to
grow over the coming years given the population shifts leading to
greater numbers of older adults and of individuals living with
disabilities. Housing is a social determinant of health and has
direct effects on health outcomes, but this relationship has not
been thoroughly investigated. In December 2016, the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a public
workshop to better understand the importance of affordable and
accessible housing for older adults and people with disabilities,
the barriers to providing this housing, the design principles for
making housing accessible for these individuals, and the features
of programs and policies that successfully provide affordable and
accessible housing that supports community living for older adults
and people with disabilities. This publication summarizes the
presentations and discussions from the workshop. Table of Contents

Little Doris Hanson lived in the lighthouse on Chambers Island,
Wisconsin, every summer from the age of 11 days to 10 years.
Doris's father, Sam O. Hanson, was the assistant lighthouse keeper
in the early 1900's. What was it like to live on a remote island in
a lighthouse? Doris told of her adventures and unique experiences
of the life of a young girl living in just such a place for much of
her childhood. Having lost her mother at the age of 3, Doris
learned the importance of having loving relationships with the rest
of her family. Her experiences shaped her life and taught her
self-reliance. This is the story of one summer on the island.
