other depression sufferers, their family and friends to better
understand their depression and for those who have lost a loved one
to suicide maybe some possible answers as to what this person might
have been dealing with.

More centrally focused on the Caribbean than any other survey of
the region, Caribbean History examines a wide range of topics to
give students a thorough understanding of the region's history. The
text favors a traditional, largely chronological approach to the
study of Caribbean history, however, because it is impossible to be
entirely chronological in the complex agglomeration of often
disparate historical experiences, some thematic chapters occupy the
broadly chronological framework. The author creates a readable
narrative for undergraduates that contains the most recent
scholarship and pays particular attention to the U.S.-Caribbean
connection to more fully relate to students.

The legal system is complex, and without appropriate access, many
injustices can occur. Deaf people in the criminal justice system
are routinely denied sign language interpreters, videophone access,
and other accommodations at each stage of the legal process. The
marginalization of deaf people in the criminal justice system is
further exacerbated by the lack of advocates who are qualified to
work with this population. Deaf People in the Criminal Justice
System: Selected Topics on Advocacy, Incarceration, and Social
Justice is the first book to illuminate the challenges faced by
deaf people when they are arrested, incarcerated, or navigating the
court system. This volume brings interdisciplinary contributors
together to shed light on both the problems and solutions for deaf
people in these circumstances. The contributors address issues such
as accessibility needs; gaps regarding data collection and the need
for more research; additional training for attorneys, court
personnel, and prison staff; the need for more qualified sign
language interpreters, including Certified Deaf Interpreters who
provide services in court, prison, and juvenile facilities;
substance use disorders; the school to prison nexus; and the need
for advocacy. Students in training programs, researchers,
attorneys, mental health professionals, sign language interpreters,
family members, and advocates will be empowered by this much-needed
resource to improve the experiences and outcomes for deaf people in
the criminal justice system.
Adapted from historical texts and rare African-American cookbooks, the 125 recipes of Jubilee paint a rich, varied picture of the true history of African-American cooking: a cuisine far beyond soul food.
Toni Tipton-Martin, the first African-American food editor of a daily American newspaper, is the author of the James Beard Award-winning The Jemima Code, a history of African-American cooking found in--and between--the lines of three centuries' worth of African-American cookbooks. Tipton-Martin builds on that research in Jubilee, adapting recipes from those historic texts for the modern kitchen. What we find is a world of African-American cuisine--made by enslaved master chefs, free caterers, and black entrepreneurs and culinary stars--that goes far beyond soul food. It's a cuisine that was developed in the homes of the elite and middle class; that takes inspiration from around the globe; that is a diverse, varied style of cooking that has created much of what we know of as American cuisine.
The contents of this book are the meanderings of a man whose mind
never stops, always filled with thoughts that come from all angles,
a mind that can suddenly drift into the darkness of depression and
wander through the twilight and back into the realms of normality,
whatever that is, and when these thoughts appear they have to be
written down, some are meaningfull, some are quite pointless, but
written down they are, the title of this book if allowed is
borrowed from a song by Bob Dylan, hope he doesn

"When the Personal was Political" is the first social history of
the post-feminist generation of women doctors, told through the
story of five women who met in the freshman class of UCSF medical
school in 1973, formed a study group for mutual support, and
maintained their friendships for thirty years, weathering
motherhood and managed care. Feminism opened the door, and they
walked through, clueless but committed. They were a unique group,
sandwiched between the individual women pioneers of previous
decades who were proud to "think like men" and the women students
of today who take access to professional school for granted. The
pioneers were the scouts in the male-dominated profession; this
generation was the landing party. The book raises the question,
"What does it mean to be a 'woman doctor' if 'a doctor' is a man?"
Despite the greater numbers of women in medicine today, women
medical students still face choices (pediatrics or surgery?) where
gender matters. Dr. Martin's thoughtful analysis combines an
insider perspective and a lively writing style.
The Fishkill Mission was Tony Martin's first of his six books. It
was written fifteen years before the World Trade Center
destruction, about an attack on a small part of Texas by a four-man
team of vengeful Cuban terrorists. They are in our country for less
than three days, kill over 100,000 people, destroy the economic
viability of a region of over 75,000 square miles for decades to
come, terrorize an entire nation and completely alter and redirect
the political and defense priorities and the financial expenditures
of the entire government structure at all levels; and, we never
knew who they were or why they attacked us. Tony Martin asked
several of his friends, relatives, and even an author's agent, to
review it for him in 1986, and to the person, they said it was
simply too frightening and asked him not to publish it for fear of
giving ideas to terrorists. He acquiesced to their pleas, and wrote
and published five other books over the next fifteen years. He dug
the book out in 2000 to update it to reflect the political
realities of the 1990's such as the fall of the USSR and the Gulf
War, but again, he did not publish it. Since writing the book,
Martin has been responsible for public water supplies in two
different communities totaling well over 100,000 people, and the
book reflects his long-standing belief that our life support
infrastructure system exposes us to small unit attacks by our
enemies with the greatest ease, the greatest long-term impact and
the least probability of discovery or apprehension. Martin actually
carried out the attacks described in the book using sand-filled
containers and a camera, to ensure that the timetables and
undetected access were possible andrealistic. Sadly, they were.
After the mysterious death of her parents, something inexplicable
happens to Meredith Dubose, last descendant of an aristocratic
Southern family. Is it psychological trauma? A true haunting in the
family mansion? A demonic siege?
