The Greatest Events in American History
Since time immemorial, history has been punctuated by a series of events—some large, some small—that have shaped civilizations. In this classic text, two historians examine some of the most important events in American history which have shaped the American experience and impacted the drive for democracy and freedom. Indeed, some of these incidents have shaped other countries and other nations and literally the free world. This book is an in-depth examination of those crucial, critical episodes.

Salt Wars

release date: Oct 20, 2020
Salt Wars
An exposé on how food industry lobbyists and a small group of scientists have successfully fought government efforts to reduce dangerous levels of sodium in our food From the nutrition crusader and co-founder of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) who’s credited with coining the term "junk food" A high-sodium diet is deadly; studies have linked it to high blood pressure, strokes, and heart attacks. It''s been estimated that excess sodium in the American diet causes as many as 100,000 deaths and many billions of dollars in avoidable health-care costs each year. And yet salt is everywhere in our diets—in packaged foods, fast foods, and especially meals at table-service restaurants. In Salt Wars, Michael Jacobson explains how the American food industry and a small group of scientists have successfully fought government efforts to reduce dangerous levels of sodium in our food. Despite an abundance of research going back more than half a century showing that high-sodium diets lead to hypertension and other ills, these scientists argue the opposite—that Americans consume a healthy amount of salt and that eating less would increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This "man bites dog" take on sodium confused consumers and was enthusiastically taken up by food industry lobbyists. Jacobson, a salt wars combatant for more than 40 years, explains what science actually says about salt intake and rebuts the "sodium skeptics." He discusses what other countries are doing to cut dietary salt, and describes some recent victories in the United States. He also advises readers how to reduce salt in their own diets, and calls on them to suit up for the next battle in the salt wars.

Hollywood and the O.K. Corral

release date: Nov 10, 2006
Hollywood and the O.K. Corral
A lot can happen in 30 seconds. In the case of the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral, 30 seconds found three men dead, left two men wounded and ultimately captured the imagination of generations of Americans. Wyatt Earp, an against-all-odds hero who was literally the last man standing; Doc Holliday, Earp''s unlikely crony; the tragic tale of the Earp family--all of these elements make the story of the O.K. Corral irresistible to a great many people. Hollywood filmmakers were quick to recognize the legend''s attraction--and its potential. As early as 1939 (with the production of Frontier Marshal), moviemakers were recreating the gunfight at the O.K. Corral and its attendant happenings in Tombstone, Arizona, on October 26, 1881. The following decades produced various renderings of the story, some more historically accurate than others but all with the American flair for entertainment. This volume examines eight movie renderings of the legendary gunfight. Produced from 1939 to 1994, these movies each use Wyatt Earp and other real-life characters as their sources. The work focuses on the filmmakers'' treatment of the history and the skill with which each balances fact with the necessity of entertainment. The ways in which Wyatt Earp is presented in each film and this portrayal''s relationship to the period in which the film was made is also examined in detail. Films discussed are Frontier Marshal (1939), Tombstone: The Town Too Tough to Die (1942), My Darling Clementine (1946), Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), Hour of the Gun (1967), Doc (1971), Tombstone (1993), and Wyatt Earp (1994). Period photographs are also included.

Mycorrhizal Dynamics in Ecological Systems

release date: Apr 14, 2022
Mycorrhizal Dynamics in Ecological Systems
Mycorrhizae are mutualisms between plants and fungi that evolved over 400 million years ago. This symbiotic relationship commenced with land invasion, and as new groups evolved, new organisms developed with varying adaptations to changing conditions. Based on the author''s 50 years of knowledge and research, this book characterizes mycorrhizae through the most rapid global environmental changes in human history. It applies that knowledge in many different scenarios, from restoring strip mines in Wyoming and shifting agriculture in the Yucatán, to integrating mutualisms into science policy in California and Washington, D.C. Toggling between ecological theory and natural history of a widespread and long-lived symbiotic relationship, this interdisciplinary volume scales from structure-function and biochemistry to ecosystem dynamics and global change. This remarkable study is of interest to a wide range of students, researchers, and land-use managers.

Fifteen Minutes

release date: Nov 05, 2023
Fifteen Minutes
Are we allowed to scrutinize public art, even if the public doesn’t pay for it? It only took the city of Buffalo 15 minutes to shut it off and five days for Mayor Jimmy Griffin to tear down Billie Lawless’ sculpture "Green Lightning" in 1984. It may have had something to do with dancing neon figures that resembled Mr. Peanut. But, to this day it’s unclear if the artist tricked the city or the city acted hastily. For the first time, through interviews, court documents, and press clippings, the story of "Green Lightning" is told. The story of "Green Lightning" is a cautionary tale about the importance of public art education. If the public is not aware of the different meanings and interpretations of art, they are more likely to react to it in a negative way. It is important for people to understand that art is subjective, and that what one person finds offensive, another person may find beautiful.

Handbook of Early Childhood Education
"At this time in our nation''s history, the establishment of a solid foundation upon which to build a student''s educational framework and basic skills is imperative. Teachers, parents, administrators and policy makers are all focusing on test scores, standardized measurement of growth, annual yearly progress and “value added“ issues. While education begins in the home, it is the early educational environment in which children are exposed to licensed certified professionals whose charge is to provide students with exposure to the basics and to identify those with developmental needs, and assist in the intervention process. This book provides an overview of the field of early childhood education as well as ancillary issues that permeate the field."--Publisher.

Reborn in the USA
When Michael F. Golden took over as CEO of Smith & Wesson in 2004, he faced a difficult situation. The world-famous handgun maker had been shooting blanks, while competitors stole markets and opportunities went untargeted. Here are the seven proven principles that guided Golden and his team and how you can put them to work in your business. It was an historic job. And it was a job of historic proportions. In December 2004, I assumed the post of CEO of Smith & Wesson, the storied gun manufacturer with deep roots in U.S. history. Its revolvers had been used in the Civil War and in settling the American West. In modern times, police, hunters, and soldiers the world over have carried Smith & Wesson firearms. But when I arrived, the glory days were long gone. The company had surrendered entire markets. Customers had boycotted its products. It was being investigated for accounting irregularities. Its stock had dropped as low as $1.50 a share. All we had to do was fix all that and put a stamp of “Reborn in the U.S.A.” on this great old enterprise.

Neutrality as a Policy Choice for Small/Weak Democracies

release date: Jul 08, 2019
Neutrality as a Policy Choice for Small/Weak Democracies
In Neutrality as a Policy Choice for Small/Weak Democracies: Learning from the Belgian Experience, Michael F. Palo has three main objectives. First, he employs a counterfactual approach to examine the hypothesis that had permanent neutrality not been imposed on Belgium in 1839, it would have pursued neutrality anyway until war broke out in 1914. Secondly, he analyses why, after abandoning obligatory neutrality during World War I, the Belgians adopted voluntary neutrality in October 1936. Finally, he seeks to use the historical Belgian case study to test specific International Relations’ Theories and to contribute to Small State Studies, especially the behaviour of small/weak democracies in the international system.

Hotchkiss believes that''s especially true in sales, where you need to connect with prospects and keep the business of existing customers.

The Political Economy of Tanzania

release date: Jan 16, 2014
The Political Economy of Tanzania
Since gaining independence, the United Republic of Tanzania has enjoyed relative stability. More recently, the nation transitioned peacefully from "single-party democracy" and socialism to a multiparty political system with a market-based economy. But Tanzania''s development strategies—based on the leading economic ideas at the time of independence—also opened the door for unscrupulous dealmaking among political elites and led to economic decline in the 1960s and 1970s that continues to be felt today. Indeed, the shift to a market-oriented economy was motivated in part by the fiscal interests of government profiteers. The Political Economy of Tanzania focuses on the nation''s economic development from 1961 to the present, considering the global and domestic factors that have shaped Tanzania''s economic policies over time. Michael F. Lofchie presents a compelling analysis of the successes and failures of a country whose postcolonial history has been deeply influenced by high-ranking members of the political elite who have used their power to advance their own economic interests. The Political Economy of Tanzania offers crucial lessons for scholars and policy makers with a stake in Africa''s future.

Control and Instrumentation Technology in HVAC
This book offers the latest technology on HVAC Controls.

Only now are some of the techniques used in industrial automation showing up in HVAC. HVAC Controls, optimizing HVAC, boiler and pump control, heat pump and chiller optimization, environmental controls wireless control, computer control, and bulding automation. As energy costs continue to grow in relation to overall operating costs, the need for more refined HVAC control becomes more crucial. HVAC strategies such as optimizing start-up time and supply air temperature, and minimizing fan energy and reheating are not only possible, but are becoming necessary. This book examines the relationship between industrial automation techniques and evolving VHAC systems, and how emerging technologies can now be applied to HVAC systems.

Pivotal Countries, Alternate Futures

release date: Nov 03, 2015
Pivotal Countries, Alternate Futures
Michael Oppenheimer''s Pivotal Countries, Alternate Futures is both a synthesis of our knowledge on scenario planning and a practical guide for policymakers. One of America''s leading scenario planners, Oppenheimer has advised the Department of State, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the President''s Science Advisor, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Brookings Institution. In this book, he develops a sophisticated and coherent method for foreign policy specialists who necessarily deal with rapidly changing situations involving high levels of uncertainty. As he explains, figuring out possible outcomes and designing and appropriate policy requires an ability to identify the drivers of change, the potential wild card events, and the central policy questions in any given situation. Once policymakers determine these, they must plan a scenario. To do that, planners need to know how to build the best team of experts possible, run a session, and create credible narratives for different scenario alternatives. To illustrate how it all works, Oppenheimer draws from a range of real-life planning scenarios, including China and Syria. To be sure, new crises will arise that supplant these current ones, but his basic method will aid policymakers in almost every future situation. While nothing ever goes completely to plan-least of all international conflict-preparing with multiple scenarios in mind will always be the least worst approach to global and regional crises. Methodologically rigorous and comprehensive, Pivotal Countries, Alternate Futures will be essential reading for policymakers and policy students trying to determine the best path forward in any given crisis.

Neurological Rehabilitation

Neurological Rehabilitation
Neurobehavioral disorders are composed of a large group of behavioral impairments seen in association with brain disease (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis, dementia, and neuro-oncological conditions), transient as well as permanent brain impairments (e.g., metabolic and toxic encephalopathies), and/or injury (e.g., trauma, hypoxia, and/or ischemia). The neurorehabilitative assessment and management of such disorders is often poorly addressed in the context of overall neurological, psychiatric, and rehabilitative care. Too often, more basic, yet critical, aspects of behavioral assessment and treatment are not addressed or only superficially addressed by evaluating clinicians. Physicians often overly rely on pharmacological interventions as initial and/or sole treatment approaches rather than taking a pragmatic biopsychosocial approach that focuses on holistic disease state management. This chapter provides readers with an overview of the common behavioral impairments associated with brain dysfunction due to disease, injury, or toxicity. Details regarding the nature of impairments such as localization-related syndromes, affective disorders and personality disorders, among others are expounded. Principles of neurobehavioral assessment and treatment are examined including general guidelines for eliciting a history and physical, behavioral analysis, and functional behavioral assessment. General treatment caveats are provided including discussion of impairment and disability adaptation, and creation of positive behavioral supports. The topic of pharmacological management of neurobehavioral disorders is covered in numerous other references including of this text.

"Booby-trapped with guns, grizzly bears, and homemade fireworks, the cartoonish park setting skillfully gives wheels to a larger, more intriguing philosophical question. ... A tale spins its answer to an age-old question into an inclusive, hilarious, and thought-provoking yarn."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Grandma''s Last Will and Testament names Ray to inherit the trailer park.

If he fails, the camp goes to his estranged family. How does anyone find the meaning of life while running a park full of misfit miners, would-be truck racers, and one demanding little girl? There''s a bear too. A grizzly. Maybe that''ll help? "Ray vs The Meaning of Life will have readers rolling their eyes in mock horror, laughing out loud, and asking themselves about the meaning in their own lives.

Jesus and the Origins of the Gentile Mission

release date: Jan 01, 2006
Jesus and the Origins of the Gentile Mission
Bird argues that Jesus was attempting to achieve and enact the restoration of Israel, and in continuity with other strands of Jewish belief, Jesus conceived of the restoration of Israel as resulting in the salvation of the gentiles. Jesus'' mission was Israel-centric, but he espoused a view of restoration that was indebted to certain strands of Israel''s sacred traditions where the gentiles are implicit beneficiaries of Israel''s salvation. Since this restoration was already being partially realized in Jesus'' ministry, it was becoming possible for gentiles to begin sharing in Israel''s salvation in the present. Additionally, Jesus understood himself and his followers to be the new temple and the vanguard of the restored Israel who would appropriate for themselves the role of Israel and the temple in being a light to the nations. Thus, a gentile mission has its germinal roots in the aims and intentions of Jesus and was developed in a transformed situation by adherents of the early Christian movement.
