Описание:

Between the English Civil War of 1642 and the American Revolution, countless British missionaries announced their intention to spread the gospel among the native North American population. Despite the scope of their endeavors, they converted only a handful of American Indians to Christianity. Their attempts to secure moral and financial support at home proved much more successful.
In The Poor Indians, Laura Stevens delves deeply into the language and ideology British missionaries used to gain support, and she examines their wider cultural significance. Invoking pity and compassion for the poor Indian—a purely fictional construct—British missionaries used the Black Legend of cruelties perpetrated by Spanish conquistadors to contrast their own projects with those of Catholic missionaries, whose methods were often brutal and deceitful. They also tapped into a remarkably effective means of swaying British Christians by connecting the latters feelings of religious superiority with moral obligation. Describing mission work through metaphors of commerce, missionaries asked their readers in England to invest, financially and emotionally, in the cultivation of Indian souls. As they saved Indians from afar, supporters renewed their own faith, strengthened the empire against the corrosive effects of paganism, and invested in British Christianity with philanthropic fervor.
The Poor Indians thus uncovers the importance of religious feeling and commercial metaphor in strengthening imperial identity and colonial ties, and it shows how missionary writings helped fashion British subjects who were self-consciously transatlantic and imperial because they were religious, sentimental, and actively charitable.

Описание:

Rainbow Soup takes place in a richly detailed world of wonder, imagination, and fantasy. It manifests the power of love, friendship, and positive thinking through Chantelle - caring and devoted granddaughter of Popper - who treks through the Rainbow to find the legendary pot of gold to bring home to her grandfather. During her travels in the Rainbow, Chantelle encounters a host of memorable characters, including Rainbow Fairies, the Guardian of Light, the Prince of Special Effects, and various personifications of the elements of weather: the Four Mistrals (winds); the Cloud Tinker and his sister, Mother Rain; cloud Whispies; and the Storm Warrior. And she discovers that Rainbow soup provides the inspiration for, and medium in which to create, sunrises, sunsets, rainbows, and all forms of amazing sky art.

Chantelle also has to face the hostile challenges of Neanderyl and the Black Brigade, who steal from the pot of rainbow soup to feed their monster storm, the Tempest. Ultimately, the Tempest descends on Chantelle's home and threatens to destroy it, then holds two of her most treasured Rainbow friends hostage. In her attempt to save all that she loves, and reunite with her grandfather, Chantelle comes to understand the bonds of family and friendship are the true source of personal wealth.

Описание:

No one is ever prepared for a stroke. It just happens, and when it does, the results can be life altering. From difficulties with communication to weakness, numbness, and cognitive difficulties, a stroke can have a wide range of consequences. For most people affected by a stroke, a flood of questions come afterward: How did this happen? What do we do next? What are our options? How long will recovery take? Am I at risk for another stroke? To answer these questions and so many others, stroke specialist Dr. Amytis Towfighi and best-selling health writer and stroke survivor Laura Stevens have written What You Must Know About Strokes. Written in plain English, this useful guide offers all the information stroke survivors and their loved ones need to know in order to ask the right questions and make informed decisions.

The book is divided into four parts. Part 1 explains what a stroke is and which risk factors increase the odds of having a stroke. It also includes information on identifying the early signs of a stroke and what to do when they appear. Part 2 looks at the immediate care given to stroke survivors as they are brought into a hospital setting. Part 3 details the most common rehabilitation treatments given to stroke patients to help them regain their ability to carry out their daily activities, mobility, speech, and cognition. These include occupational, physical, and speech therapies. It also discusses a number of complementary and alternative treatments that may be helpful. Part 4 offers important suggestions on lifestyle and nutrition to help patients avoid another stroke. Part 5 provides a look at life after a stroke and the issues stroke survivors may face. It offers practical and easy-to-follow advice on moving forward. The book also offers a section of resources, listing services and agencies that provide answers and assistance to stroke patients and their families.

The many challenges of dealing with a stroke are great--for patients as well as their loved ones. The road back is not always easy. Understanding what is happening and what treatment options are available is crucial. The information contained in this book can greatly benefit anyone dealing with the aftermath of a stroke and make all the difference in the world.
