Robert Roberts' The House Servant's Directory, first published in
1827 and the standard for household management for decades
afterward, is remarkable for several reasons: It is one of the
first books written by an African American and issued by a
commercial press, and it was written while Roberts (ca. 1780-1860)
was in the employ of Christopher Gore (1758-1827), a former senator
from and governor of Massachusetts (and ancestor of the novelist
Gore Vidal). Gore Place, where Roberts worked from 1825 to 1827, is
one of the grandest neoclassical mansions built in America. Not
only was the extraordinary set of recommendations that Roberts made
about relations between servants and their masters unique for its
time, but his many recipes for cleaning furniture and clothing and
for purchasing, preparing, and serving food and drink for small and
large dinners are also still useful today. As portrayed in Graham
Hodges' introduction, Roberts' own story is a unique window into
the work habits and thoughts of America's domestic workers and into
antebellum African American politics. Of particular note is
Roberts' contribution to the emergence of new self-perceptions of
black manliness. Written at a time when male Americans in general
were reconsidering the construction of masculinity, Roberts' advice
to his fellow servants fostered black dignity for work that few
felt merited respect, and his counsel to employers on proper
treatment of their servants insisted on their humanity and respect
for their skills.

For the first time in print, shamanic techniques are introduced
that healers and Reiki practitioners can draw on to tap into
ancient healing wisdom. Shamanism and Reiki are, by themselves,
powerful ways to heal. Together, their power multiplies, and
healing methods become available that aren't accessible if they're
used separately. The purpose of "Shamanic Reiki" is to introduce
you to concepts in both and provide you with detailed proven
methods to enhance your own healing practices, or to work on
yourselves. "Shamanic Reiki" empowers the healer / Reiki
practitioner to trust their instincts, recognizing that healing is
an evolving and dynamic art; to facilitate change requires the
healer to trust in spirit and work creatively with the universal
life force energy. Now it's your turn to discover the combined
power of Reiki and shamanism.

From the late nineteenth century through the 1970s, several
government reform movements succeeded in controlling traditional
types of public corruption. But has this historic success led to a
false sense of security among public management scholars and
professionals? As this book argues, powerful special interests
increasingly find effective ways to gain preferential treatment
without violating traditional types of public corruption
prohibitions. Although the post-Watergate good government reform
movement sought to close this gap, the 1980s saw a backlash against
public integrity regulation, as the electorate in the United States
began to split into two sharply different camps driven by very
different moral value imperatives. Taking a historical view from
the ratification of the U.S. Constitution through to the Trump
administration, The Death of Public Integrity details efforts by
reformers to protect public confidence in the integrity of
government at the local, state, and federal levels. Arguing that
progressives and conservatives increasingly live in different moral
worlds, author Robert Roberts demonstrates the ways in which it has
become next to impossible to hold public officials accountable
without agreement on what constitutes immoral conduct. This book is
required reading for students of public administration, public
policy, and political science, as well as those interested in
public service ethics.

An invaluable introduction to the life and work of one of today's most important cultural critics. Studied on most undergraduate literary and cultural studies courses, Fredric Jameson's writing targets subjects from architecture to science fiction, cinema to global capitalism. Of his works, The Political Unconscious remains one of the most widely cited Marxist literary-theoretical texts, and 'Postmodernism, or the cultural logic of late capitalism', is amongst the most influential statements on the nature of post-modernity ever published. Adam Roberts offers an engaging introduction to this crucial figure, which will convince any student of contemporary theory that Jameson must be read.

HE past does not change; it cannot, for what has happened T cannot
be undone. Yet how are we to understand what has happened? Our
perspective on it lies in the present, and is subject to continual
change. These changes, made in the light of our new knowledge and
new experience, call for fresh evaluations and constant
reconsideration. It is now one hundred fifty years since the death
of Immanuel Kant, and this, the third volume of Tulane Studies in
Philosophy is dedicated to the commemoration of the event. The
diversity of the contributions to the volume serve as one
indication of Kant's persistent importance in philoso phy. His work
marks one of the most enormous turns in the whole history of human
thought, and there is still much to be done in estimating its
achievement. His writings have not been easy to assimilate. The
exposition is difficult and labored; it is replete with
ambiguities, and even with what often appear to be contradictions.
Such writings allow for great latitude in interpretation. Yet who
would dare .to omit Kant from the account? The force of a man's
work is measured by his influence on other thinkers; and here, Kant
has few superiors. Of no man whose impact upon the history of ideas
has been as great as that of Kant can it be said with finality:
this 5 6 TULANE STUDIES IN PHILOSOPHY is his philosophy."
" Considered her finest work and an American classic, Roberts's
novel traces the coming of age of Ellen Chesser, the daughter of a
poor itinerant farmer. Against all privations and the forces that
would subdue her, Ellen is sustained by a sense of wonder and by an
awareness of her own being. Reduced to the bare elements of life,
her world becomes a ceremony of daily duties that bind her to the
natural world and her family. The Time of Man stands as a
beautifully written tribute to the human spirit.

In arecent plenary address to the American College of Cardiology,
Dr. Leroy Hood stated that he expected the application of the
techniques of recombinant DNA and molecular biology to medicine
would advance the field more in the next twenty years than all of
the progress that has been made in the past 2,000 years.
Cardiology, as a discipline, has been one of the last to embrace
the techniques of molecular biology, yet the advances made in the
past five years have indeed been dramatic. Throm bolytic therapy,
introduced with a bang through the use of recombinant tissue
plasminogen activator (rt-PA), is now part of the routine arma
mentarium in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial
infarction. Tissue plasminogen activator was the first drug made
with the use of recombinant DNA techniques to be used in cardiology
and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989.
In the short time since then, five other drugs made by these
techniques have been added to the treatment of patients with
ischemic heart disease-hirudin, su peroxide dismutase, urokinase,
prourokinase, and multiple mutant forms of rt-PA. The FDA has
approved fewer than 100 drugs that are made by recombinant DNA
techniques, but estimates that by the year 2000 over 50% of all
drugs will be made by these techniques.
With great humour and vitality, Robert Roberts evokes his Edwardian
childhood in the vivid portrait of a vanished community. Breathing
the smoke from the factory chimneys, the children of Salford
struggled daily to survive the grinding poverty that surrounded
them. Sharing lively games along the railways lines and canal
banks, their lives were rich in experience and comradeship. -- .
