A discussion of many of the dilemmas and problems facing school
administrators. Topics include: conflicting beliefs regarding the
fundamental purpose of school, administering racial and ethnic
differences, and monetary incentives to reform teacher
compensation. This contributed book uses the voices of academics
around the world to explain these dilemmas. Possible solutions are
also presented.
The editors undertook this project to promote the International
Conference on Death, Grief, and Bereavement in La Crosse,
Wisconsin, USA. Throughout its history, the conference has
attracted internationally known speakers. This book illustrates the
quality of their presentations. Section One, "Professional
Applications in End of Life Care," begins with Currier, Hammer, and
Neimeyer's examination of the importance of the social network,
including both religion and family, not just the individual, in
working with those at the end of their lives. The authors analyse
the impact of social support and its health implications. In
Chapter 2, Parkes looks at the influence of child development on
adult life and bereavement. Rather than simply showing how insecure
child development affects loss as adults, he examines how insecure
attachments in childhood can lead to extreme attachments to God,
homes, territories, political leaders, and symbols and discusses
interventions for these extreme attachments. Papadatou (Chapter 3)
develops a model for professionals and caregivers who work with the
dying. She suggests that those who give care to the dying also have
multiple needs and also face suffering, examines the private world
of professionals and what is healthy and what is unavoidable, and
describes both functional and dysfunctional coping patterns used by
professionals. Kobler (Chapter 4) uses case studies to explain how
to develop and maintain relationships with children and their
families in paediatric palliative care. She offers strategies for
using rituals and ways to initiate and maintain relationships with
children and their families. Thompson (Chapter 5) focuses on the
effects of working in situations involving high levels of emotion
and the stress that may result. He makes a strong case that such
stress can do harm to individuals, groups, and whole organisations
and offers a model for a more holistic approach that incorporates
social and organisational strategies and practical ways to prevent
and manage stress. Eves-Baine and colleagues (Chapter 6) examine
the application of paediatric and adult-based principles to the
newborn period. They discuss how to create the best situations for
families when life-sustaining medical therapy has been withdrawn,
how to support the family, and the ethical challenges that
perinatal palliative care presents. The authors offer models for
care through the journey of palliative and bereavement care.
Section Two, "Facing End of Life and Its Care," begins with
Gilbert's chapter presenting a strong argument that caregivers need
to honour the multiple tracks that come with dying while
maintaining a focus on the wishes of the dying person. He offers
ways for the team to better meet the needs of the dying person.
Koppleman (Chapter 8) follows the journey of a friend who faced
death. It is a powerful story, told from the point of view of the
dying in a scholarly fashion. Smith and Potter (Chapter 9) suggest
that palliative care for the dying can be defined as offering
"comfort care," both for those who are dying and for their loved
ones. The authors present a model of the psycho-spiritual side of
palliative care as a way of offering comfort to all those involved.
Adams (Chapter 10) examines different methods of working with
patients and families. It looks at the ways in which such work can
be complicated by factors of geographic distance, differences in
family reactions, differences in treatment plan concepts, and in
meaning making. All of these factors may become stumbling blocks
and may prevent the delivery of positive support. Pizzini (Chapter
11) looks at the experience of dying in prison from the perspective
of inmates who are terminally ill, prison medical staff, and prison
security staff. She discusses how to maintain dignity of the dying
and a "good death" while in prison. McCord (Chapter 12) discusses
attempts by hospice patients and others diagnosed with terminal
illnesses to die either by their own hand or with physician
assistance. She presents common risk factors, strategies to assess
the degree of risk and possible plans for suicide and suicide
postvention in the context of hospice. Section Three, "Cultural
Considerations in End-of-Life Care" begins with The End of Life:
Two Perspectives in which Robert G. Stevenson looks at two
perspectives on the end of life that are not often examined in
terms of their impact on the individual and his/her attitude toward
this time. The two perspectives are that of adolescents, and that
are shown in a military ceremony used in the 18th and 19th
centuries, the Feu de Joie or Fire of Joy. In Chapter Fourteen,
Janet McCord discusses suicide attempts by hospice patients and
others diagnosed with terminal illnesses to die either by their own
hand or with physician assistance. Connor's description of the need
for hospice and palliative care around the world and the challenges
of developing palliative care globally, and offers models that can
be used around the world. Cox and Cox (Chapter 15) suggest ways to
offer end-of-life care to Roman Catholics who do not fit the
traditional model of hospice care and examine special needs,
theology, and rituals. Cox and Sullivan (Chapter 16) offer
suggestions on end-of-life care for American Indians, explaining
cultural differences among American Indians and suggesting ways to
improve care to a group that is generally neglected in hospice
care. Smith (Chapter 17) looks at the cultural differences and
understandings of Fundamentalist Christian views of a "good death"
and the afterlife, ways to negotiate faith understandings that
complicate end-of-life care, and ways to comfort individuals who
may be marginalised because they do not share the theological views
of the dying individual or key family members.

The second edition of ""What Will We Do? Preparing A School
Community to Cope With Crises"" is a guidebook for educators and
parents who wish to understand the importance of both pre- and
post-intervention programs in our schools to assist all parties in
coping with crises that arise. The book examines the scope and
effects (including the potential benefits and possible risks) of
programs that target such issues as loss, illness, death, grief,
war, and violence. It presents specific steps that can be taken to
help prepare a school community to cope with possible future
crises. Today's news has shown us with dramatic effect that a
crisis can occur at any time, often without warning. Educators and
parents must work together if they wish to help young people, and
each other, when such a crisis occurs. What Will We Do? is a major
step in that direction.
Robert Louis Stevenson's unconventional 1880 honeymoon in an
abandoned silver mining camp on the shoulder of Mount St. Helena
provides the backdrop for this wonderful narrative of late 19th
century California. "Squatting" for two months during a California
summer with his new wife, Fanny Vandegrift, The Silverado Squatters
provides readers with insight into life in the Napa Valley--with
descriptions of the "experiments" with local wine growing, his
visit to a petrified forest, his first use of the telephone, and
the characters of the local people. Stevenson used his memories of
this California honeymoon to create much of the descriptive detail
found in 1883's Treasure Island.
Losses may provide a turning point where an individual faces
personal and social choices. Still, one may derive significance
through the experience of loss, while another may encounter
bereavement with less consequence. "Complicated Grieving and
Bereavement: Understanding and Treating People Experiencing Loss"
examines complicated grief in special populations, including the
mentally ill, POW-MIA survivors, the differentially-abled, suicide
survivors, bereaved children, those experiencing death at birth,
death in schools, and palliative-care death.
This book examines violence. It looks at the nature and types of
violence, the causes of violence, and the emotional wake left by
violent episodes. In the twentieth century, the world experienced
two world wars and countless other wars. Many millions died violent
deaths from murder, death squads, purges, riots, revolutions,
ethnic cleansing, rape, robbery, domestic violence, suicide, gang
violence, terrorist acts, genocide, and in many other ways. As we
entered the twenty-first century, we experienced 9/11, the Red Lake
School deaths, suicide bombers, and more mass death brought about
by the actions of governments, revolutionaries, terrorists, and
still more wars. The need to better understand violence, both
lethal and non-lethal, to become aware of the many forms of
violence, and to learn how to survive in the aftermath of violent
death are the focus of "Perspectives on Violence and Violent
Death."

The editors of "Making Sense of Death: Spiritual, Pastoral, and
Personal Aspects of Death, Dying and Bereavement" provide
stimulating discussions as they ponder the meaning of life and
death.This anthology explores the process of meaning-making in the
face of death and the roles of religion and spirituality at times
of loss; the profound and devastating experience of loss in the
death of a spouse or a child; a psychological model of
spirituality; the dimensions of spirituality; humor in
client-caregiver relationships; the worldview of modernity in
contrast to postmodern assumptions; the Buddhist perspective of
death, dying, and pastoral care; meaning-making in the virtual
reality of cyberspace; individualism and death; and the historical
context of Native Americans, the concept of disenfranchised grief,
and its detailed application to the Native American experience.It
also explores: a qualitative survey on the impact of the shooting
deaths of students in Colorado; a team approach with physicians,
nursing, social services, and pastoral care; a study of health care
professionals, comparing clergy with other health professionals;
marginality in spiritual and pastoral care for the dying; a
qualitative research study of registered nurses in the northeast
United States; and loss and growth in the seasons of life.
Originally published in 1931, this book formed part of The
Craftsman Series, which aimed to give secondary school age children
an insight into 'the development of constructive activities in the
sphere of material things'. The text is comprised of extracts from
An Account of the Bell Rock Lighthouse (1824) by Robert Stevenson
(1772-1850), a renowned Scottish civil engineer who specialised in
the design and construction of lighthouses. Extracts were selected
with the intention of providing an absorbing account of Stevenson's
most notable project and joined together to form a continuous
narrative. The text also contains an editorial introduction,
glossary and notes. This is a highly readable book that will be of
value to anyone with an interest in civil engineering, lighthouses
and books for schools.

FOR AID in preparing the present resume of Spanish music to 1530 I
am indebted to so numerous a company of friends that I must content
myself in this preface with no more than a token alphabetical list.
In an earlier article - "Music Research in Spanish Libraries,"
published in Notes of the Music Library Association, sec. ser. X, i

THIS slight volume is addressed not to Shakespearean special ists,
but rather to the general public. My chief purpose has been to view
Shakespeare's manipulation of his clergy. The last three chapters
deal with ancillary problems. Two articles in this collection have
already been published - "Shakespeare's Cardinals and Bishops" in
The Crozer Quarterry, April, 1950; "Shakespeare's Interest in
Harsnet's Declaration" in Publications of the Modern Language
Association, September, 1952. I appreciate the Editors' permission
to reprint these essays in the present volume. I also thank
Professors Gerald Eades Bentley and Lily Bess Campbell for
encourage ment and advice during the writing of the first, fifth,
and last pieces in this collection. Neither is however to be held
re sponsible for any errors discovered by reviewers. All of the
essays in this volume except the first were written either at The
Folger Shakespeare Library in 1950 or at The Huntington Library in
1952. I thank the directors and staffs of both libraries for their
many exceptional kindnesses. Miss Mary Neighbour of Oxford has
placed me further in her debt by typing the completed collection.
1930s horror starring Boris Karloff as a scientist warped by the
power he gains from one of his own discoveries. When Dr Laurience
(Karloff) retires to an isolated house to research the origins of
the human mind and soul with a surgeon, Clare (Anna Lee), and a man
confined to a wheelchair, Clayton (Donald Calthrop), he is scorned
by his scientific peers. However, Laurience succeeds in discovering
a means of mind-transference: the ability to swap the mental
faculties of any two people and thus to take possession of the
bodies of others. But will he use the power wisely?
