Clara, the Little Girl from the Prairie was born July 4, 1931 in Garfield County, Nebraska. She grew up in the prairie of central nebraska. Farm life, dust storms and the Great Depression are among the forces that shaped her childhood. She has a distinct Danish heritage, her father was born in Denmark and her maternal grandparents were both born in Denmark. These are stories of her early childhood and the changes in her life as she left her home on the prairie to become a "Career Girl." A chance meeting with a young man from Indiana led to an eventual change to "Career Mom." From that chance meeting, they have celebrated 58 anniversaries of their wedding. She raised four sons and has eight grand children and two great grand children.
"Peasant Wars of the Twentieth Century provides a good short course in the major popular revolutions of our century--in Russia, Mexico, China, Algeria, Cuba, and Viet Nam--not from the perspective of governments or parties or leaders, but from the perspective of the peasant peoples whose lives and ways of living were destroyed by the depredations of the imperial powers, including American imperial power."-New York Times Book Review Eric Wolf was Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Emeritus at Herbert H. Lehman College and Graduate School, City University of New York, and the author of numerous books, including "Europe and the People Without History", "Peasants", and "Envisioning Power: Idologies of Dominance and Crisis."
Not quite three years old at the time of the Stock Market Crash in October 1929, the author spent the next twelve years experiencing the consequences of the Great Depression. Kindergarten in 1931 began school days that proceeded in lockstep with the depression years. These were life shaping experiences taking place at a time of growing unrest among nations. Personal values were shaped by the challenges of daily living. Everyone was affected by the depression in one degree or another. These memories of school days, changing family structure, day to day coping, provides a window on this changing, scene from the perspective of a growing child.
My Time Most people live their lives on a day to day basis. Our planning calendar is booked for three to seven days in the future. We seldom take a step back and look at recent events in perspective. This book is intended to provide that perspective look at events that shaped the course of our lives. Only in retrospect do we realize the changes that have occurred and influenced events of our lives. This process might be compared to watching an "Old time silent movie." How strangely people dressed and acted in "those days." We get a sense of values and attitudes of that time. Then we see movies made during the 1930's. There is a difference - in dress, in automobiles, in the telephones seen in those movies. Customs have changed and attitudes have changed since those early silent movie days. This book links day to day living with the evolving events that impact our lives, shape attitudes and philosophies, as individuals, as states and nations. It has been said, "The only thing certain - is change."

This book is a direct result of the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. Drawing upon many documents declassified under this law, the authors demonstrate what US intelligence agencies learned about Nazi crimes during World War II and about the nature of Nazi intelligence agencies' role in the Holocaust. It examines how some U.S. corporations found ways to profit from Nazi Germany's expropriation of the property of German Jews. This book also reveals startling new details on the Cold War connections between the US government and Hitler's former officers. At a time when intelligence successes and failures are at the center of public discussion, U.S. Intelligence and the Nazis also provides an unprecedented inside look at how intelligence agencies function during war and peacetime.

Auch uber zehn Jahre nach dem Inkrafttreten des Prostitutionsgesetzes sind noch nicht alle oeffentlich-rechtlichen Probleme in Zusammenhang mit dem sprichwoertlich altesten Gewerbe der Welt bewaltigt. Die Arbeit nimmt sich dieser Probleme in Hinblick auf diejenigen Prostitutionsformen an, die in baulichen Anlagen stattfinden.

Anschliessend werden Beispiele aus dem verwaltungspraktischen Umgang mit dieser Art von Gewerbebetrieb eroertert und die rechtlichen Instrumente fur ihre verwaltungsbehoerdliche Regulation dargestellt.
With more than 50 percent of marriages ending in divorce these days, even the most confident couples find themselves battling the odds from time to time. Marital problems can arise in any marriage, and, while it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's also something that no one, no matter the situation, should ignore. When caught early on, many marital problems can be resolved if couples seek help. Some relationships, however, are unsalvageable, and it is important for couples to realize when this is the case so that they can stop hurting each other and move on with their lives. "The Marriage Exam" provides couples with the tools they need to assess the strength or weakness of their marriage so that they can determine whether or not they are headed for divorce. The empirically-based test included in this text will help them evaluate the severity of their problems and enable them to make informed decisions about what to do next. Based on self reports from more than three hundred couples and counting, the marriage test has been proven to accurately describe current relationship statuses and help couples achieve meaningful results. It is a useful test to take not once, but consistently throughout your marriage.
