This book is for anyone seeking a succinct and accessible treatment of the most pivotal financial and monetary policies throughout American history from 1650-1950. But it is especially written for those who desire an intricate and detailed knowledge of how and why these policies worked with respect to the supply of adequate credit for economic development. A thorough examination of key credit institutions and their specific powers, functions, mechanisms, context, and economic impact brings the reader to a recognition of which policies and institutions were successful and unsuccessful in supporting the economy and preventing crisis. Its extensive use of primary sources, period literature, and carefully chosen quotations allows the reader to participate in the original discussion and issues that faced Americans in each era. This vivid account leads to a unique grasp of relationships between essential facts, ideas, and time periods. The reader is rewarded with the rare experience of seeing the evolution of three hundred years of policy development as an integrated process. The book’s content will be new and provoking to the academic, policy maker, and economist, but is presented in a manner and style ensuring comprehension for a general audience and those new to the topics involved. Many of the lessons learned in the course of the investigation are relevant and applicable to modern economic and financial policies.

Governments in the US, the UK and other nations around the world routinely consider and, in some cases, experiment with reforms of their income support systems. The basic income guarantee, a universal unconditional income grant, has received increasing attention from scholars as an alternative to the kinds of reforms that have been implemented. This book explores the political, sociological, economic, and philosophical issues of the basic income guarantee. Tracing the history of the idea, from its origins in the late eighteenth century through its political vogue in the 1970s, when the Family Assistance Plan narrowly missed passage in the US Congress, it also examines the philosophical debate over the issue. The book is designed to foster a climate of ideas amongst those specifically interested in the income support policies and more widely for those concerned with public, welfare and labour economics. Its coverage will enable readers to obtain an in depth grounding in the topic, regardless of their position in the debate.

One of the largest Christian publishing companies said: "We will not publish this book because of the content!" But It''s the same content that you find in the bible! Resurrected From Hell touches on a subject for every single person in existence. It truly defines GOD''S non-judgmental LOVE that HE has for us. As well as depicting a very clear indication of how GOD, is wanting and willing to connect with each of us. RFH actually reveals a part of spirituality that most do not believe in because they have not been formally introduced to THE GOD of Rationalism and Understanding. Resurrected From Hell is a revelation that merely materialized because of the hopeless and horrible situation that I found myself in. Only thru my desperation did I allow myself to open my mind and heart to a new way of thinking and hope, ( which was made possible by THE HOLY SPIRIT) and by doing that, it literally changed my circumstances and reality. In that moment of darkness, GOD rushed in and completely changed everything! GOD took what I thought was just an impossible dream and brought it to reality before I could blink. HE certainly made me a believer and made me take notice to the scripture where it says “all things are possible with GOD!” At that time in my life, I wasn’t even sure if I believed in GOD so it definitely left me in a state off rock bottom with no hope. Sure I have always wondered if GOD was real or not, but by me reaching that darkest point in my life with absolutely no hope, I figured if GOD was real HE was THE ONLY ONE that could help me. So I gave HIM the opportunity so that I could find out if GOD was real and I discovered that that’s what HE wanted more than I could even begin to understand. Many have said and will continue to say: ” That’s Jail House Religion” meaning that everyone that goes to jail seeks GOD’S help. At the time that I was incarcerated and facing many charges and couldn’t see any light whatsoever… If jail house religion is how you want to label the opportunity GOD allowed me, that’s great, we need more of it! Jailhouse religion worked out amazingly for the criminal hanging next to JESUS the day he was crucified and worked out amazingly for me too!… I boast only in THE LORD and certainly am not selling the idea that jail house religion is what the world needs, but it was where I found my rock bottom. One of the unique things about Resurrected From Hell as an overall series is that it depicts a spiritual growing process with GOD and HIM taking someone such as myself who wasn’t even sure if they believed in GOD or not. Then GOD putting to rest any doubts of HIS existence and stepping into my life when I allowed HIM too and giving me a purpose like I had never known. So when you read Resurrected From Hell VOL 1,2,3,4 and so on you can see spiritual growth throughout the series. As an example Resurrected From Hell, Volume One, is being revised due to a few sentences that ran together and a few punctuation issues. I was reading over some of the corrections with my wife and we begin to want to change a few things that I said… GOD said to me, DONT YOU DARE CHANGE A THING! YOU’RE NOT WHO YOU WERE, EVERY DAY YOU’RE CHANGING, PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THAT IN THE BOOKS THAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN, SO LEAVE IT JUST THE WAY IT IS AND LET ME HAVE MY GLORY! That statement couldn’t sum up Resurrected From Hell any better, Resurrected From Hell is about GOD changing catastrophic events in my life that I opened the door to, not even realizing. It’s about being able to recognize THE SPIRIT of GOD, speaking as well as the devil and being able to discern between the two. For more information! Please visit: ResurrectedFromHell.com

Michael Anthony, 20-year reading workshop practitioner at the secondary level, and Joan Kaywell, acclaimed author and advocate for young adult literature in learning, present Between the Lines, a creative paradigm shift for the English Language Arts workshop classroom. In contrast to the traditional sustained silent reading and individual conferencing model, an impractical commitment for most teachers, BtL invites collaborative engagement and active inquiry among students as well as on-demand writing and integrated YA literature, all designed to support existing middle and secondary level ELA classroom curriculum instruction and national academic learning standards while empowering English educators toward improved student literacy achievement and the creation of lifelong readers. The classroom activities, with student-friendly names like Book Chat Check and Pop Goes the Question, promote animated discussions in social learning contexts and produce writings supported by textual evidence from student selected texts. Clear step by step directions for facilitation and authentic models of resulting student writing are shared along with a standards-based lesson plan suitable for grades 6-12. Ongoing teacher/student journal conversations validate independent reader thought processes and provoke differentiated learning experiences. The book includes Common Core State Standards-based strategies for responding to students meaningfully and for inviting extensions beyond the book, motivating increasingly complex and connective writings. Sample dialogue journal entries are shared along with insightful commentary and practical analysis. Everything needed for implementing Between the Lines is contained within these pages, including a user friendly appendix filled with fully reproduceable classroom workshop materials, tips for reducing the teacher reading and writing loads, and suggestions for building an enviable classroom library stocked with award-winning adolescent literature.
