Описание: Is it true that we can pick our battles in life, or do our battles pick us? What if, from the beginning, defects in your DNA dictate what battles you will be fighting for the rest of your life? This young nurse communicates her story with a raw, human aspect that illuminates the battle of chronic disease. Complete with descriptions of the wars within her faith and the fervent struggle to find meaning in difficulty, she paints a telling picture of the search for freedom. As her psyche travels down the war path throughout her story, she sees similarities in the patients she cares for, relating to them in a way she never thought possible. The stark contrast between learned medical knowledge and her patient experience makes this book a window into the world of those with chronic illness. Not to be set aside lightly, her story of finally finding victory is one for the books.

Описание:
Veterans and first responders know the impacts of their service, especially if they have experienced crisis and trauma. It is an inevitable reality for anyone who comes into harm's way. In these pressing times, God is calling on men and women who have served at an extraordinary high rate to be ambassadors of Christ to minister to others who are suffering. Most possess the service experience and the heart to serve but struggle with exactly what God wants them to do. They pray and are eagerly searching for answers. Some end up leading small church groups and Bible studies but soon realize so much more needs to be done. Chances are, God is looking for you to be part of the solution.
To minister effectively to our nation's heroes, you must embark on a special mission. You will need to conduct the critical analysis of your journey and why you had to weather storms. This process includes learning about the H3 cycle, the types of wounds, the complexities of trauma, and what it is like to slip into isolation and darkness. This quest will help you identify your God-given purpose and shape a strategic plan to execute God's will. But to do that, you will need to take a deeper look within.
Spiritual Battleground is designed to help you understand who you are within your body, soul, and spirit. Although, veterans may have won the battles of their deployments, they are facing another war in its aftermath. Cops may be able to fight crime on the streets and contend with social issues, but they grapple with internal struggles. It is time to dissect the soul to understand the spiritual warfare of the timeless battle between good and evil. Understanding which force is dominating will make you combat effective in your God-given purpose.

Описание:
This is the first book to provide a comparative exploration of the gendered and sexual body in Mozambican literature, engaging with the work of six authors spanning different generations, styles and aesthetics. The study begins by providing a detailed and innovative survey of the dynamics of gender, sexuality and power in the Portuguese colonial and Mozambican post-independence contexts, from the nineteenth century to the turn of the millennium. This initial investigation provides the sociohistorical backdrop for in-depth analyses of representations, uses and subversions of the body in poetry and prose fiction by Jose Craveirinha, Noemia de Sousa, Lilia Momple, Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa, Paulina Chiziane and Suleiman Cassamo. Using a wide and interdisciplinary range of theoretical frameworks, the book offers a fresh and creative new perspective on Mozambican history, political life and literary output.

Winner of the 2013 Choice Award for Outstanding Academic Title
Battleground Africa traces the Congo Crisis from post-World War II decolonization efforts through Mobutu's second coup in 1965 from a radically new vantage point. Drawing on recently opened archives in Russia and the United States, and to a lesser extent Germany and Belgium, Lisa Namikas addresses the crisis from the perspectives of the two superpowers and explains with superb clarity the complex web of allies, clients, and neutral states influencing U.S.-Soviet competition.
Unlike any other work, Battleground Africa looks at events leading up to independence, then considers the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the series of U.N.-supported constitutional negotiations, and the crises of 1964 and 1965. Finding that the U.S. and the USSR each wanted to avoid a major confrontation, but also misunderstood its opponent's goals and wanted to avoid looking weak or losing its political standing in Africa, Namikas argues that a series of exaggerations and misjudgements helped to militarize the crisis, and ultimately, helped militarize the Cold War on the continent.
Описание: Placing recent developments in teacher certification in North America within a broader, international policy context characterized as hegemonic neo-liberalism, this book focuses on teacher certification as this addresses fundamental questions about who will teach, what are the required minimum levels of competence, and who will make those decisions.

Описание: When the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, Prince Edward County, Virginia, home to one of the five cases combined by the Court under Brown, abolished its public school system rather than integrate. Jill Titus situates the crisis in Prince Edward County within the seismic changes brought by Brown and Virginia's decision to resist desegregation. While school districts across the South temporarily closed a building here or there to block a specific desegregation order, only in Prince Edward did local authorities abandon public education entirely - and with every intention of permanence. When the public schools finally reopened after five years of struggle - under direct order of the Supreme Court - county authorities employed every weapon in their arsenal to ensure that the newly reopened system remained segregated, impoverished, and academically substandard. Intertwining educational and children's history with the history of the black freedom struggle, Titus draws on little-known archival sources and new interviews to reveal the ways that ordinary people, black and white, battled, and continue to battle, over the role of public education in the United States.

Описание: New Jersey’s legal system was plagued with injustices from the time the system was established through the mid-twentieth century. In Battleground New Jersey, historian and author of Boardwalk Empire, Nelson Johnson chronicles reforms to the system through the dramatic stories of Arthur T. Vanderbilt - the first chief justice of the state’s modern-era Supreme Court - and Frank Hague - legendary mayor of Jersey City. Two of the most powerful politicians in twentieth-century America, Vanderbilt and Hague clashed on matters of public policy and over the need to reform New Jersey’s antiquated and corrupt court system. Their battles made headlines and eventually led to legal reform, transforming New Jersey’s court system into one of the most highly regarded in America.Vanderbilt’s power came through mastering the law, serving as dean of New York University Law School, preaching court reform as president of the American Bar Association, and organizing suburban voters before other politicians recognized their importance. Hague, a remarkably successful sixth-grade dropout, amassed his power by exploiting people’s foibles, crushing his rivals, accumulating a fortune through extortion, subverting the law, and taking care of business in his own backyard. They were different ethnically, culturally, and temperamentally, but they shared the goals of power.Relying upon previously unexamined personal files of Vanderbilt, Johnson’s engaging chronicle reveals the hatred the lawyer had for the mayor and the lengths Vanderbilt went to in an effort to destroy Hague. Battleground New Jersey illustrates the difficulty in adapting government to a changing world, and the vital role of independent courts in American society.

Marauders from Mars War of the Worlds: Battleground Australia sheds fresh, Antipodean light on H.G. Wells' original tale in stories that traverse the southern continent. Home to the planet's longest-surviving mysteries, Australia now plays victim to marauding Martians in this outstanding collection of exciting stories set in the past, present and future.
Australian Invasion It is well-known that Wells found vital inspiration for his 1897 novel in the horrific plight of Tasmanian Aboriginals who, within his lifetime, were virtually wiped out by the warfare and disease brought by foreign invaders. In Battleground Australia we discover that the war with Mars was not confined to England and did not end with all Martians destroyed by disease. In Australia some of the aliens survived and went underground, to emerge a century or more later.

Описание: To understand the long march of events in North Carolina from secession to surrender is to understand the entire Civil War--a personal war waged by Confederates and Unionists, free blacks and the enslaved, farm women and plantation belles, Cherokees and mountaineers, conscripts and volunteers, gentleman officers and poor privates. In the state's complex loyalties, its sprawling and diverse geography, and its dual role as a home front and a battlefield, North Carolina embodies the essence of the whole epic struggle in all its terrible glory.
Philip Gerard presents this dramatic convergence of events through the stories of the individuals who endured them--reporting the war as if it were happening in the present rather than with settled hindsight--to capture the dreadful suspense of lives caught up in a conflict whose ending had not yet been written. As Gerard reveals, whatever the grand political causes for war, whatever great battles decided its outcome, and however abstract it might seem to readers a century and a half later, the war was always personal.
