Teaching Enslavement in American History provides classroom
teachers with the resources necessary to navigate one of the most
difficult topics in any history course. This volume is the product
of a collaboration between three university professors and a team
of experienced middle and high school teachers. Its nine chapters
include the context for topics like the middle passage, the
Constitution's position on enslavement, African cultural retention,
and resistance to enslavement. The resources include 18 lesson
plans and dozens of short primary and secondary sources modeled on
document-based questions and the inquiry design model. Real
teaching requires courage, a deep understanding of the complexity
of the subject matter, and skillful use of primary sources. Rather
than teaching students what to think, Teaching Enslavement in
American History pushes students to learn how to think: empirical
argumentation, source evaluation, understanding of
change-over-time, and analysis of historical context. The lessons
in this book ask students to read, analyze, and contextualize a
variety of primary sources, to identify the limitations of these
sources and to articulate historical contradiction where it occurs.
At the heart of this book is the belief that historical
consciousness leads to societal change. Teaching about enslavement
is not merely about teaching a curriculum, it is about molding
citizens who will lead our democracy in its journey to become a
more perfect union.

Poetry of Mine presents a collection of verses by poet Robert
Baker. With them he seeks to grip the heart and stir deep-seated
emotions with force enough to create an emotional whirlwind.Each
poem shares a story that takes us on an adventure of the mind; some
are mellow, while others are full of passion. He explores topics
such as his children and the love of his life, as well as broader
themes that touch us all. From the wistful "Star of My Life" to the
heartfelt "Blessed Love," Baker draws upon what he knows to explore
his emotional connections. Using free-verse poetry and simple
language, he offers a powerful message of love and wonder that is
powerful yet simple to understand.Poetry of Mine is an inspiring
collection that digs deep into one man's emotional
core.ReassuranceMy child I understand, In the blissfulness of life,
So fast is time gone byConfused you will be.It's okay; gently will
I hold you, In my arms as you shake, Snuggle you closely a little
tighter, Give you a gentle kiss as I say it's alright. ...
"As Americans struggle with the dual problems of exploding health
care costs and ensuring access to health care for the uninsured,
health care rationing has moved to the center of the public policy
debate. A prime example of this is the intense public discussion
surrounding the proposal by the state of Oregon to provide
universal health care at a price: the explicit rationing of which
diagnoses and treatments will be covered. Focusing largely on the
Oregon proposal, this volume examines a wide range of ethical,
methodological, legal, and political issues that must be addressed
by any serious program of health care reform. "
This collection of essays, written by a number of respected sport
management scholars, addresses many of the challenges and issues
facing today's sport management academic programs. It is intended
to begin a professional and scholarly discussion to identify the
best, or at least the most logical, paths to follow for sport
management programs and the industry with which they are so closely
aligned. Contributors, invited to participate based on their
recognized areas of expertise, address specific topics using their
own unique voices and writing styles. In the ebook version, essays
link to video introductions by the authors and to online discussion
forums where readers can respond to the issues presented in the
essays. From the Preface: The field of sport management stands at
an academic crossroads; the essays in this book address the
following and other emerging questions: Should our successful field
of study continue to model other disciplines and perpetuate their
successes, as well as their shortcomings, or should we determine
our own specific model for academic success? How are we doing in
preparing future sport managers to perform in the industry and on
the global stage? Where do we belong in the scheme of academe? The
book's goal is to generate discussion among sport management
professors, industry professionals who serve as adjunct faculty and
participate on sport management program advisory boards, doctoral
students who intend to teach in sport management programs, and
others who explore and critique higher education in general.

"The Advances in Bioethics" series is devoted to publishing
collections of original papers and multi-authored volumes that
advance the field of bioethics either by exploring new areas, or by
taking new approaches to traditional areas. Although the series is
published in English, its scope is international, and manuscripts
are welcome from authors throughout the world. Divided into three
sections this volume covers: Human Rights, Public Safety, and
Public Policy; Practitioner Responsibilities During Times of
Epidemics; Global Dimensions of Epidemics - each chapter in the
book goes in depth to discuss the issues surrounding the topic in
question and combines a theoretical thought process with practical
application.
Before Bioethics narrates the history of American medical ethics
from its colonial origins to current bioethical controversies over
abortion, AIDS, animal rights, and physician-assisted suicide. The
first history of American medical ethics published in more than a
half century, Before Bioethics tracks the evolution of American
medical ethics from colonial midwives and physicians' oaths, to
medical society codes and bioethical principles. Applying the
concept of "morally disruptive technologies," it analyzes the
impact of the stethoscope on conceptions of fetal life and the
criminalization of abortion, and the impact of the ventilator on
our conception of death and the treatment of the dying. The
narrative offers tales of those whose lives were affected by the
medical ethics of their era: unwed mothers executed by puritans
because midwives found them with stillborn babies; the unlikely
trio-an Irishman, a Sephardic Jew and in-the-closet gay public
health reformer-who drafted the American Medical Association's code
of ethics but received no credit for their achievement, and the
founder of American gynecology celebrated during his own era but
condemned today because he perfected his surgical procedures on
un-anesthetized African American slave women. The book concludes by
exploring the reasons underlying American society's empowerment of
a hodgepodge of ex-theologians, humanist clinicians and
researchers, lawyers and philosophers-the bioethicists-as
authorities able to address research ethics scandals and the
ethical problems generated by morally disruptive technologies.
