Kerwin's youth was riddled with adversity, which culminated in a
criminal record. Doomed to fail, he decided to fight for his goal
of attaining remarkable success. This intimate biography of a young
man's struggle to ascend the socio-economic ladder will propel you
to rise and pursue your dreams.
Human beings leave their homelands for many reasons and they are
called by many names: illegal aliens, strangers, asylum-seekers,
displaced persons, economic migrants, lawful permanent residents,
refugees, temporary workers, and victims of trafficking. Some are
forced to flee because of violence, persecution, natural disaster,
or intense economic privation. Most migrate in search of a better
life, many as part of a family survival strategy. The movement of
people from one place to another has remained a constant feature of
human history. In an era characterized by the fast and cheaper
movement of goods and services around the globe, migrants are the
face of globalization. The world's two hundred million migrants
often find themselves at the center of economic, social, and
political debates. This book describes the distinctive way in which
Catholic social teaching looks at migrants. It analyzes migration
from the legal, social science, and cultural perspectives, and
gives special consideration to the lived experience of immigrants
themselves and their host communities. The book identifies gaps and
opportunities to improve government and non-governmental responses
to migration on a local, national, and international level. And You
Welcomed Me aims to reframe perspectives on migration by focusing
on the human beings at the heart of this phenomenon. It analyzes
trade, immigration, labor, national security, and integration
policies in light of the core Catholic commitment to the common
good, human dignity, authentic development, and solidarity.

Do you feel purposeless? Do you go through the day half-awake,
wondering what you're working for-what you're living for? You're
not alone. This is a common symptom of many Christians, despite a
strong faith in God and His word. We know what we are supposed to
believe and how we are supposed to live; so why is that biblically
inspired peace, joy, and love so hard to come by?You don't have to
ask yourself these questions anymore. "God Has a Purpose for You"
is an enlightening and invigorating look at the Bible and how it
proves we each have a specific purpose, set forth for us by the
Lord. Kerwin Tucker describes many different steps along the path
to finding your life's purpose, including "The Prerequisites for
Living a Spirit-Led Life," "Define Your Vision," and "The Pathway
to Your Destiny."It's easy to believe you will never do anything
substantial with your life. It's easy to think it would be
impossible to have a lasting effect on your friends, family, and
neighbors ... but it's not true. God has put you here for a reason.
You have a predestined purpose, and it is finally time to take a
step in the right direction. Find your life purpose, through
Christ, and in so doing, discover sought after peace and
ever-present joy.
Americans have a love-hate relationship with negative campaigning,
claiming to despise it and ranting about how it turns off the
electorate, while at the same time paying an increasing amount of
attention to negative ads and tactics during ever-lengthening
campaign seasons. Swint gathers the most compelling of these
campaigns from the two "Golden Ages" of negative campaigning--1864
to 1892 and 1988 to the present--in addition to some that fall
outside those demarcations, and ranks them in descending order,
from No. 25 to No. 1. Mudslingers covers presidential, senatorial,
gubernatorial, and mayoral races and chronicles the dirtiest, most
low-down campaign tactics of all time. The list includes the
presidential campaign of 1800, when the disputed outcome of the
race between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had to be decided by
the House of Representatives, and the election of 2004, in which
George W. Bush beat John Kerry after one of the nastiest showdowns
on record. The first round of negative campaigning in American
history was driven by post-Civil War politics, the end of
Reconstruction, an increasingly corrupt federal government, and a
rabid partisan press. The current Golden Age of mudslinging and
dirty politics is driven by huge increases in campaign spending,
television advertising, decreased civility in public life, and a
muckraking mass media. These fascinating stories from the annals of
negative campaigning will entertain as well as educate, reminding
us, the next time we are tempted to decry the current climate, that
it was (almost) ever thus.
The dreaming paths of Aboriginal nations across Australia formed
major ceremonial routes along which goods and knowledge flowed.
These became the trade routes that criss-crossed Australia and
transported religion and cultural values. This book highlights the
valuable contribution Aboriginal people made in assisting European
explorers, surveyors and stockmen to open the country for
colonisation, and explores the interface between Aboriginal
possession of the Australian continent and European colonisation
and appropriation. Instead of positing a radical disjunction
between cultural competencies, Dale Kerwin considers how European
colonisation of Australia appropriated Aboriginal competence in
terms of the landscape: by tapping into culinary and medicinal
knowledge, water and resource knowledge, hunting, food collecting
and path-finding. As a consequence of this assistance, Aboriginal
dreaming paths and trading routes also became the routes and roads
of colonisers. Indeed, the European colonisation of Australia owes
much of its success to the deliberate process of Aboriginal land
management practices. Dale Kerwin provides a social science context
for the broader study of Aboriginal trading routes by setting out
an historic interpretation of the Aboriginal/European contact
period. His book scrutinises arguments about nomadic and primitive
societies, as well as Romantic views of culture and affluence.
These circumstances and outcomes are juxtaposed with evidence that
indicates that Aboriginal societies are substantially sedentary and
highly developed, capable of functional differentiation and
foresight -- attributes previously only granted to the European
settlers. The hunter-gatherer image of Aboriginal society is
rejected by providing evidence of crop cultivation and land
management, as well as social arrangements that made best use of a
hostile environment. This book is essential reading for all those
who seek to have a better knowledge of Australia and its first
people: it inscribes Aboriginal people firmly in the body of
Australian history.
Beautiful yet haunting photographs of abandoned places in Lebanon
– once thriving buildings now ravaged by nature and time are the
subject of this fascinating, coffee table photo book. Lebanon is a
country that still holds many secrets of what life was like there
prior to the civil war, and more recently the Beirut port blast.
Inside, we discover ruins, deserted buildings, and glamorous
architecture all tucked away from the public eye. These include the
abandoned mansion of a former prime minister, one of the most
remarkable buildings in Zokak el-Blat, Beirut, a once glorious
hotel now bearing its war wounds, a 17th-century palace in Deir El
Qamar, and a stunning yet unfinished passion project, where each
arch of the structure reflects a different civilisation.
Award-winning photographer James Kerwin’s love affair with
Lebanon started in 2017 when he began his research into locating
interesting, unique, and abandoned architecture. That relationship
grew stronger when he finally set foot in the country for the first
time in 2019, and began uncovering these architectural delights.

fascinating and original book offers theoretical discussions as
well empirical case studies, providing new ways to link theory with
lived experiences. The result is a vital new contribution to
sex-worker rights. The book will equip any reader with new
theoretical frameworks for understanding the sex industry,
challenging readers to explore the topic of sex work in new ways,
especially its cultural, economic and political dimensions.

One of the most closely-watched and controversial aspects of modern
political campaigning is the use of negative, attack tactics. This
book examines the role played by negative campaigning through a
national survey of professional political consultants. Campaign
consultants have become vitally important to political candidates
in recent years as strategists, fundraisers, and media specialists.
The research in this book focuses on how consultants define
negative campaigning, including the differences between issue
attacks and character attacks, how and when criticism of the
opponent should be implemented, and which media should be used to
deliver attack messages. A statistical analysis of the survey data
reveals insights into behavioral and professional differences among
consultants with regard to party affiliation, gender, age, and
level of experience.

In 1989, the first drug-treatment court was established in Florida,
inaugurating an era of state-supervised rehabilitation. Such courts
have frequently been seen as a humane alternative to incarceration
and the war on drugs. Enforcing Freedom offers an ethnographic
account of drug courts and mandatory treatment centers as a system
of coercion, demonstrating how the state uses notions of
rehabilitation as a means of social regulation. Situating drug
courts in a long line of state projects of race and class control,
Kerwin Kaye details the ways in which the violence of the state is
framed as beneficial for those subjected to it. He explores how
courts decide whether to release or incarcerate participants using
nominally colorblind criteria that draw on racialized imagery.
Rehabilitation is defined as preparation for low-wage labor and the
destruction of community ties with "bad influences," a process that
turns participants against one another. At the same time, Kaye
points toward the complex ways in which participants negotiate
state control in relation to other forms of constraint in their
lives, sometimes embracing the state's salutary violence as a means
of countering their impoverishment. Simultaneously sensitive to
ethnographic detail and theoretical implications, Enforcing Freedom
offers a critical perspective on the punitive side of
criminal-justice reform and points toward alternative paths
forward.
As the United States and the Soviet Union went from exploring space
to living in it, a space station was conceived as the logical
successor to the Apollo moon program. But between conception and
execution stood the vastness of space itself, to say nothing of the
monumental technological challenges. Homesteading Space, by two of
Skylab’s own astronauts and a NASA journalist, tells the dramatic
story of America’s first space station from beginning to fiery
end. Â Homesteading Space is much more than a story of
technological and scientific success; it is also an absorbing,
sometimes humorous, often inspiring account of the determined,
hardworking individuals who shepherded the program through a
near-disastrous launch, a heroic rescue, an exhausting study of
Comet Kohoutek, and the lab's ultimate descent into the Indian
Ocean. Featuring the unpublished in-flight diary of astronaut Alan
Bean, the book is replete with the personal recollections and
experiences of the Skylab crew and those who worked with them in
training, during the mission, and in bringing them safely home.
