The Long Voyage Home is an epic journey written in the manner of
Irish writers and poets who have sung from the rocks of Dublin,
struggled on the decks of seafaring ships and wept at the graves of
comrades and in the alleys of tenaments. It seeks the grace of God
and the friendship of angles, while always casting a fearing ear
about for the "beast" that sometimes rips our dreams. It's author,
Patrick Kelly, served as a Russian linguist in the U.S. Army,
stationed in West Germany before the Berlin Wall fell. He received
a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi,
where he also did graduate work in English literature. He spent 25
years as a newswriter and editor in the American Southeast. He is
currently working on Volume II of The Long Voyage Home.
In Adolescent Depression, psychiatrists Francis Mark Mondimore, MD,
and Patrick Kelly, MD, explain that serious depression in
adolescents goes beyond "moodiness." Depression is in fact an
illness-one that can be effectively treated. The authors describe
the many forms of depression and the many symptoms of depression in
young people - from sadness to irritability, self-harm, drug and
alcohol abuse, and violent rages. Incorporating the latest research
from the field of adolescent psychiatry, this comprehensive and
compassionate guide answers questions that many parents have,
including: what are the symptoms of depression in teenagers? How is
depression diagnosed? What is the difference between depression and
bipolar disorder, and which does my child have? How can I find the
best mental health professional team for my child? What kinds of
counseling and psychotherapy are available? Are medications safe,
and how does a doctor choose a medication for my child? What can I
do if my adolescent is using alcohol, crystal meth, marijuana, or
other substances? How do autism and Asperger's syndrome, eating
disorders, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, ADHD, and disruptive
mood dysregulation disorder interact with depression? What should I
do if I sense that my child is in danger? With all of this going
on, how can I take care of myself?

Unsportsmanlike behavior by student athletes or parents at youth
sporting events happens with regularity these days. Much recent
research reveals that young people are dropping out of sport at
alarming rates due to the often toxic elements in the culture of
youth sports. The timely, innovative essays in Youth Sport and
Spirituality present a wide-ranging overview that draws on
resources from Catholic spiritual and theological traditions to
address problems such as these, as well as opportunities in youth
sport in the United States. The book consists of two sections. In
the first, prominent scholars in philosophy, psychology, theology,
and spirituality reflect on how youth sport contributes to the
integral development of the person and his or her grasp of
spiritual values. The second half of the book consists of chapters
written by coaches, athletic directors, and specialists working
with youth coaches. These practitioners share how their approaches
to working with youth in sport contribute to the integral
development of their players and their openness to transcendent
values. The essays examine coaching as ministry, youth sport and
moral development, and how parents can act as partners in youth
sports, among other topics. The book will interest coaches,
athletic directors, and youth ministers in Catholic elementary and
high schools in parish settings, as well as undergraduate and
graduate students in education who are preparing to teach in
Catholic schools. Contributors: Patrick Kelly, SJ, Daniel A.
Dombrowski, Nicole M. LaVoi, Mike McNamee, Clark Power, David Light
Shields, Brenda Light Bredemeier, Richard R. Gaillardetz, Kristin
Komyatte Sheehan, Dobie Moser, Jim Yerkovich, Sherri Retif, James
Charles Naggi, and Edward Hastings.

One hundred years ago a series of seminal documents, starting
with the Flexner Report of 1910, sparked an enormous burst of
energy to harness the power of science to transform higher
education in health. Professional education, however, has not been
able to keep pace with the challenges of the 21st century. A new
generation of reforms is needed to meet the demands of health
systems in an interdependent world.
The report of the Commission on the Education of Health
Professionals for the 21st Century, a global independent initiative
consisting of 20 leaders from diverse disciplinary backgrounds and
institutional affiliations, articulates a fresh vision and
recommends renewed actions. Building on a rich legacy of
educational reforms during the past century, the Commission's
findings and recommendations adopt a global and multi-professional
perspective using a systems approach to analyze education and
health, with a focus on institutional and instructional
reforms.
After a city-wide gang meeting, a downtown New York gang called the
Warriors is forced to make its way back across enemy territory
after being framed for the killing of a rival unit's leader.
Unarmed and desperate, they come up against one hostile gang after
another as they fight their way back through the city streets to
the one place where they will be safe. Directed by Walter Hill ('48
Hrs', 'Southern Comfort').
Cyberpunk is dead. The revolution has been co-opted by half-assed
heroes, overclocked CGI, and tricked-out shades. Once radical,
cyberpunk is now nothing more than a brand. Time to stop flipping
the channel. These sixteen extreme stories reveal a government
ninja routed by a bicycle repairman, the inventor of digitized
paper hijacked by his college crush, a dead boy trapped in a warped
storybook paradise, and the queen of England attacked with the
deadliest of forbidden technology: a working modem. You'll meet
Manfred Macx, renegade meme-broker, Red Sonja, virtual reality
sex-goddess, and Felix, humble sys-admin and post-apocalyptic hero.
Editors James Patrick Kelly and John Kessel (Feeling Very Strange:
The Slipstream Anthology) have united cyberpunk visionaries William
Gibson, Bruce Sterling, and Pat Cadigan with the new post-cyberpunk
vanguard, including Cory Doctorow, Charles Stross, and Jonathan
Lethem. Including a canon-establishing introduction and excerpts
from a hotly contested online debate, Rewired is the first
anthology to define and capture the crackling excitement of the
post-cyberpunks. From the grittiness of Mirrorshades to the
Singularity and beyond, it's time to revive the revolution.

on discovering a cryptic, posthumous note from his friend Roddy,

David, then a high-flying Oxford graduate, is recruited by Sir John
Lockwood to help him look for a site for a new university in
Ulster. But what seems like an interesting assignment turns into a

Northern Ireland apart, are destined to destroy the relationship of
the two lovers, with terrible consequences for them both.
