Berlin is a cosmopolitan metropolis with some of the most dynamic art, theatre, opera, and music in Europe. This is a modern city yet profoundly historic. Berlin is the capital of Germany, a vibrant city that has fully overcome it cold war and wartime experiences. Gdansk''s shipyards and longstanding maritime tradition made it the busiest Baltic port since medieval times. From this prosperity grew today''s fascinating northern Polish city with its elaborate architecture and Old World charm. Formerly known as Danzig, Gdansk is of great interest to history buffs. The start of World War Two took place in Gdansk, as did Lech Walesa''s dissent against communism which ultimately resulted in the end of the Soviet rule in the 1980''s.

Vienna is the capital of Austria and the country''s epicenter for tourism, culture, business, and politics.

Bratislava on the Danube River has historic palaces, a medieval Old Town, and an interesting set of churches, museums and art galleries. It is the capital and largest city of Slovakia. Located in the southwest of the country, Bratislava is under one hour''s drive from Vienna and is the only national capital in the world that borders two other countries (Hungary and Austria).

Frankfurt is the commercial centre of Germany and the largest city in the state of Hesse. The city is known for its impressive skyline and the country''s largest airport. Frankfurt is the location of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Stock Exchange (DAX) and hosts many of Europe''s largest trade fairs. Situated in the northwest Germany, where the river Dussel flows into the Rhine, Dusseldorf is one of Germany''s financial, fashion and cultural capitals. It is the state capital of North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany''s largest metropolitan region, consisting of over 11 million people.

A lively mix of the rustic and the modern, confident Munich has exclusive shops, historic buildings and boozy beer halls. With some 1.3 million locals (Munchners), this is Germany''s third-largest and most attractive major city. Located between the Salzach River and the Monchsberg in northern Austria, Salzburg is one of the most picturesque cities in central Europe. Set against the backdrop of the Alps, the skyline of Salzburg is dominated by impressive Baroque architecture. Rich in history and natural beauty, this tourist-favourite city of just 150,000 people draws nearly two million tourists every year."

Autobiography about the writer, Lisa Brown, focusing on her story of Multiple Sclerosis and everything else that life throws at her in between.

The Weymouth Relief Road crosses an area of intricately varied geology and one of the richest and most important cultural landscapes in England, which preserves a wealth of archaeological and historical remains. Extensive fieldwork in advance of construction of the Weymouth Relief Road yielded evidence of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement and funerary activity, along with vestiges of Roman occupation. The main sites were located at Ridgeway Hill, located on the edge of South Dorset Ridgeway, at the northern end of the scheme and at Southdown Ridge close to the southern end. At Ridgeway Hill a sequence of Neoltihic pits was investigated, along with several groups of early Bronze Age inhumation and cremation burials in pits and cists. The burials were probably originally associated with barrows that belonged to the Ridgeway Hill group, one of the densest concentrations of Bronze Age round barrows in Britain. At Southdown Ridge a settlement that spanned the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age to the late Iron Age was discovered lying adjacent to a cross-ridge dyke and prehistoric field enclosures. The inhabitants engaged in shale-working activity as well as agriculture until the settlement was abandoned and converted to a cemetery in which the dead were buried in the distinctive south Dorset tradition, accompanied by grave goods, and later in the Roman tradition of coffined burial.

"This descriptive case study describes the use of documentary film to teach historical thinking in one undergraduate elementary social studies methods course. The study was situated within a teacher education program at a midsized public university in the Southeastern United States. Eighteen students were enrolled in the course. Of the eighteen students, one student self-identified as biracial and seventeen students self-identified as White. I was the instructor for the course meetings. Over a period of four weeks, students viewed four different documentary films using anticipation guides, corroborated a variety of historical sources, and engaged in whole group Socratic dialogues in class. Following each of the four classes, students completed written reflections related to the process. Each week, students explored a new theme in the social studies curriculum and a different historical thinking skill. Case study method was used and data collection methods included pre and post questionnaires with Likert-style and open ended response items, students'' viewing anticipation guides, transcribed Socratic dialogues, and students'' written reflections. Data was coded and analyzed using the constant comparative method (Glaser, 1965; Glaser & Strauss, 1967). Study findings revealed that students understood the documentary films to be realistic and informative historical sources, and frequently had emotional reactions to the four films. Students most often cited the film sources in their responses, and used the films to identify popular narratives and counter-narratives and engage historical empathy; however, they did not interrogate the film sources in the same way that they did the other historical sources. Additionally, the films seemed to promote students'' engagement with multiple controversial issues. Instructional implications for social studies education as well as implications for student learning are discussed."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

The first edition of People in Crisis, published in 1978, established success as a comprehensive and user-friendly text for health and social service professionals. The book and its following incarnations included critical life events and life cycle transition challenges, clearly pointing out the interconnections between such events, stressful developmental changes, and their potential for growth but also danger of suicide and/or violence toward others. This revised edition includes new case examples and expanded coverage of cross-cultural content, including ''commonalities and differences'' in origins, manifestations, and crisis responses. The authors illustrate the application of crisis concepts, assessment, and intervention strategies across a wide range of health and mental health settings, as well as at home, school, workplace, and in the community. Each chapter contains a closing summary that includes discussion questions, references, and online data sources for maximum application and learning. Updated chapters discuss new, research-based content on: • workplace violence and abuse • youth violence in schools and higher education settings • the use of psychotropic drugs, including for very young children in the absence of comprehensive assessment • the crisis vulnerability of war veterans and the hazards of ''pathologizing'' what should be considered a ''normal'' response to the repeated and catastrophic trauma of war • the intersection of socio-political factors with individuals’ psychological healing from catastrophic experiences such as war and natural disaster.

\"Strong on the Outside, Dying on the Inside is a wonderfully written tribute to faith, courage, hope and healing.\" Don''t be fooled by the small size of this book. In it, Lisa Brown packs a powerful message of liberation: With the help of God and qualified professionals, Black women can break free from depression. A successful businesswoman in Washington, D.C., Lisa uses her own experience and the Biblical story of Hannah to shed light on the unspoken sadness that plagues so many Black women today. With the energy, humor and compassion of a close girlfriend, she describes the signs of depression and charts a way out. Depression is an equal-opportunity illness. But Black women - especially those who consider themselves strong - are particularly reluctant to seek help: Only 12 percent of those affected receive treatment. Why this resistance? Citing contemporary experts, Lisa points to reasons rooted in African American culture: the widespread belief that depression is nothing more than a bad attitude, a case of the blues, or a sign of personal weakness. Emotional needs are not easily acknowledged by women who have been the backbone of their communities while enduring the harsh realities of slavery, bigotry and bias. What''s more, many of these God-fearing, church-going women may resign themselves to depression, accepting their sadness as a fact of life that God, the church and their families expect them to bear. Lisa rejects that interpretation, reminding Black women that God offers them both joy and peace. She urges readers to draw on their inner strength not to deny depression, but to face and overcome it. Lisa calls herself \"a living testimony to the value of good therapy and God''s undeniable ability to heal depression.\" In these pages, she reaches out to strong Black women, inviting them to embrace the same blessing and recover a life of promise and purpose. www.strongontheoutside.com

Hanging By a Thread is a hard hitting survival guide designed to help blacks navigate the maze of career threatening politics in corporate America. Corporate blacks are one of the most suffering groups but get the least amount of sympathy. The lack of sympathy stems from societys view that these individuals are privileged to have their jobs, houses, and status. Their plight is seldom highlighted in contemporary reading material. Short of turning to each other for emotional support, blacks are hard pressed to find a no-nonsense roadmap for surviving corporate America. This book is written in contemporary language that makes for an easy read.
