This entertaining, informative and easily understood guide digs
into the roots of baseball in and around Cleveland, starting in the
1840's and closing with the end of the century in 1900. It is an
outline with a large volume of baseball information where the
chapters are chronologically and geographically ordered accounts of
games and off-field happenings that made the news. This is a
complete history of the sport at all levels in its formative
year-until now, that not only reflects the economic and social
growth of Cleveland, during this the time of Industrial Revolution,
but all of America as well. It also contains a fascinating but
forgotten story of baseball on the Western Reserve, from its
infancy as an amateur game through its growth into adulthood as a
professional sport. Also included are several dozen illustrations
and photostats from microfilm newspaper records, along with an
alphabetical list of all names and subjects. Dozens of box scores,
with players' names and statistics for important games, are found
throughout the text as well as complete team standings at year end.
Since the year 2000, there have been approximately 200 school
shootings in the United States. Unfortunately, this is not simply a
U.S. problem. In 2017, a 15-year-old Canadian male student
committed suicide after shooting two other students and a teacher.
During that same year, in Brazil, a private school student fatally
shot two classmates and injured four. In 2018, a 13-year-old
Russian girl opened fire with a gas pistol and injured seven 7th
graders. Hence, school violence is a problem of global concern. The
purpose of this proposed text is to address this international
problem from a crime and criminal justice perspective. The school
shooting at Columbine in 1999 gave politicians and the media the
event that they had sought to spotlight the cruel and evil world of
teens. Reporters, who did little to explore other incidents in the
country related to child abuse, domestic violence, or gang warfare,
quickly flocked to Littleton, Colorado to discuss the youth culture
of bullying, violent video games, and dressing in black. However,
is violence within the school environment really a new problem? The
history of school violence follows the pattern of what most would
consider the history of education. In 1913, a German teacher shot
and killed four students and injured more than 20. In 1923, a
headmaster killed two students in New Zealand. In 1925, a
Lithuanian student killed two students and a teacher and, in the
United States, in 1966, the infamous University of Texas Tower
Shooting occurred. All individuals agree that a child attending
school should be concerned with the process of learning, not with
avoiding victimization and that the school environment should be a
safe and secure location for both students and teachers. In
addition, and most central to this text, without a safe school
environment, students and teachers may be assaulted, injured, or
killed. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, current
research has shown a decline in the rates of school violence over
the past three years; however, the few high-profile cases broadcast
repeatedly in the media lead the public to other conclusions.
Included in this textbook are definitions related to the types and
categories of school violence (including bullying, stalking, and
crimes against students that involve the internet), discussions on
victims and offenders, and case examples. Also included in this
textbook is information on criminal justice system responses to
school violence from both a national and international perspective.
Finally, this text discussed adult perpetrators of school violence
and the explanations for such attacks.

Daryl Gleason cannot remember the last time he smiled. Or why. He's
recently lost his job, his business, his wife, and the estranged
grandfather who raised him. Everything he held as true about his
life has proven to be the opposite, and he is now a man on the
verge of collapse. Completely on his own, and without any sort of
guidance for the first time, Daryl has become emotionally numb -
unable to adjust, or grasp the true significance of these
devastating events. In fact, he's incapable of doing much more than
staring out the bedroom window at the barking dog in the yard
behind him, wondering to himself what the little thing is trying to
say. Luckily, his court-appointed psychiatrist doesn't think he's
crazy. He simply believes Daryl is going though a little stage -
one that can easily be remedied with a large dose of medication,
and a small dose of advice: leave the house, meet people, and most
importantly, try to remember when and why you were happy. So, with
his new best friend Steve, (that little dog from the house behind
him), Daryl embarks on a journey to search for the happiness that
has seemingly eluded him. The two of them meet a diverse group of
people including pirates, a nymphomaniac, an aimless philosopher,
and a teen runaway who all somehow have connections to various
stages of Daryl's past. Together they force Daryl to reassess his
previously unexamined life, and help him Get Happy
