In this compelling story, readers will be transported back to an era culminating in the Great Depression that coined the term "Golden Age of American Racing". This is the story of Crack Apprentice Jockey, Tommy Murray, During the 1919 and a bit beyond.
Folks gave this small town its peculiar moniker as early as 1847, and they've been doing things their own way ever since. Beginning as an important stop for commerce along the Ohio River, the tiny town has endured floods, ice, economic upheaval and all manner of modernization, remaining a beacon of bygone ways in the present day. Always bucking trends, people here elected their first dog for mayor in 1998, sparking a tradition that led to three more successful canine campaigns. So pull up a chair at the general store and join local historian Donald Clare as he presents the first book-length history of Boone County's most celebrated river town.
"Wonderfully evocative... Donald McRae captures the Great Defender in all his complexity.... A joy to read." -- Kevin Boyle, National Book Award-winning author of Arc of Justice "Astonishingly vivid." --James Tobin, Award-winning author of Ernie Pyle's War The story of the three dramatic trials that resurrected the life and career of America's most colorful--and controversial--defense attorney: Clarence Darrow. Many books, plays, and movies have covered Darrow and the trials of Leopold and Loeb, John T. Scopes, and Ossian Sweet before: Geoffrey Cowan's The People v. Clarence Darrow; Simon Baatz's For the Thrill of It; Kevin Boyle's Arc of Justice; Meyer Levin's Compulsion and the film adaptation of the same name; Inherit the Wind; but few, if any, have achieved the intimacy and immediacy of Donald McRae's The Great Trials of Clarence Darrow.

The simplest method of transferring data through the inputs or outputs of a silicon chip is to directly connect each bit of the datapath from one chip to the next chip. Once upon a time this was an acceptable approach. However, one aspect (and perhaps the only aspect) of chip design which has not changed during the career of the authors is Moore’s Law, which has dictated substantial increases in the number of circuits that can be manufactured on a chip. The pin densities of chip packaging technologies have not increased at the same pace as has silicon density, and this has led to a prevalence of High Speed Serdes (HSS) devices as an inherent part of almost any chip design. HSS devices are the dominant form of input/output for many (if not most) high-integration chips, moving serial data between chips at speeds up to 10 Gbps and beyond. Chip designers with a background in digital logic design tend to view HSS devices as simply complex digital input/output cells. This view ignores the complexity associated with serially moving billions of bits of data per second. At these data rates, the assumptions associated with digital signals break down and analog factors demand consideration. The chip designer who oversimplifies the problem does so at his or her own peril.

This book explores the significance of psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott’s ideas for contemporary debates about care. Locating Winnicott in relation to a range of fields, including psychology, philosophy, sociology, critical theory and feminist theory, it examines the implications of his thinking for understanding and transforming the relationship between care and society. Winnicott was unique amongst psychoanalysts for the emphasis he placed on care in the development of subjectivity. The book unpacks Winnicott’s understanding of care and assesses its relevance for conceptions of social responsibility, justice and transformation. In a world where care is in crisis, how might we theorise the conditions necessary for the development of caring subjectivities, and is it possible to infer a relationship between those conditions and progressive social change? This unique book will be of interest to readers in psychosocial studies, politics and anyone concerned with thinking about the relationship between care and social transformation.

Increasing efficacy of biomedical treatments for cancer means that more and more people are living longer with the disease. The five-year relative survival rate for all cancers has increased considerably in the last three decades, with some survivors living for many years and thus facing increasingly complex psychosocial issues. As a result, the mental health subspecialty of psycho-oncology is growing and is responding to the many calls for increased availability of psychological services for cancer patients. Psychosocial Care of the Adult Cancer Patient introduces psychologists and other mental health professionals to the field of psycho-oncology, educates them about evidence-based interventions for individuals, groups, couples, and families, and describes how to successfully collaborate with oncologists and other cancer care professionals. Introductory in nature and providing ready access to a range of evidence-based interventions, this book briefs the reader on the field of psycho-oncology and the basics of cancer, explains screening and assessment for psychosocial distress, details the principles of evidence-based interventions, and concludes with case examples that illustrate the evidence-based practice competencies-ask, access, appraise, translate, integrate, and evaluate. In a unique writing style, the case examples reveal the decision-making process of an experienced clinician doing evidence-based practice. Practical strategies for addressing the psychological needs of cancer patients and their families are offered in an easy-to-use, quick reference format. Key points are highlighted and enhanced through the use of tables and figures designed to summarize and emphasize important information. This book will be of value to clinical and counseling psychologists and other mental health professionals, as well as graduate students in psychology, social work, mental health counseling, oncology nursing, and other cancer care professions.

Promising Care: How We Can Rescue Health Care by Improving It collects 16 speeches given over a period of 10 years by Donald M. Berwick, an internationally acclaimed champion of health care improvement throughout the course of his long and storied career as a physician, health care educator and policy expert, leader of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), and administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. These landmark speeches (including all of Berwick's speeches delivered at IHI's annual National Forum on Quality Improvement in Health Care from 2003 to 2012) clearly show why our medical systems don't reliably contribute to our overall health. As a remedy he offers a vision for making our systems better — safer, more effective, more efficient, and more humane. Each of Berwick's compelling speeches is preceded by a brief commentary by a prominent figure in health care, policy, or politics who has a unique connection to that particular speech. Contributors include such notables as Tom Daschle, Paul Batalden, and Lord Nigel Crisp. Their commentaries reflect on how it felt to hear the speech in the context in which it was delivered, and assess its relevance in today's health care environment. The introduction is by Maureen Bisognano, CEO of Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and author of Pursuing the Triple Aim. Praise for previous books by Don Berwick Curing Health Care: "The book is an easy and affirming read for anyone who is familiar with and has used the TQM teachings of Dr. Joseph M. Juran and Dr. W. Edwards Deming and would be a simple and informative introduction to the concepts for anyone who has been hearing about TQM but has no idea what it is all about and wants to know more."—Permanent Fixes (blog) "Donald Berwick is the most clearly heard evangelist of applying industrial methods of continuous quality improvement in health care."—Annals of Internal Medicine Escape Fire: "With an effective blend of common sense, real-life stories, persuasive metaphors, and out-of-the-box thinking, Dr. Berwick's presentations make for fascinating reading for anyone interested in improving America's $1.7 trillion health care system."—Piper Report "Anyone interested in change in the healthcare system would enjoy this book. In degree programs, the various speeches would be useful for discussion in a health policy readings course."—The Annals of Pharmacotherapy
This book, is about a "Black" or African-American Educator who experienced a number of leadership challenges as a College Dean, College President and CEO, District Vice Chancellor, and the first African American Chancellor of a Multi-College/Campus Community College District in California. Dr. Godbold, was the first African American Administrator hired as a Dean at the Orchard Ridge College of the Oakland County Community College District in Michigan, OCC. Dr. Godbold, shortly, acceded to the position of Provost and CEO of the College. He, as the Provost, experienced and successfully surmounted several challenges during his administration as the a first Black College CEO of a Suburban Community College that was overwhelming "Caucasian" in one of the most affluent Counties in the USA, particularly being accepted by the College Faculty, and providing educational opportunity for "inner city" Black and minority students. Dr. Godbold was recruited by the President of the Community College of Denver System to come to Denver to start the Auraria College of the System. Dr. Godbold again encountered many challenging but rewarding administrative experiences by having been given almost "free rein" to start the College for a very diverse student population. Dr. Godbold selected and mentored a diverse "team" of Faculty and Administrators, many of whom were new to Community College Education, at the time, who worked in "make shift" and "gerrymandered" facilities, until the college was built. Dr. Godbold's successes included the establishment of Counseling Teams, instituting a program of "open entry-open exit Idividualized Self Paced Laboratory Instruction " that qualified for State Apportionment. Dr. Godbold left the Community College of Denver System to accept the position of President of Merritt College upon the urging of Dr. Norvel Smith. Merritt College was one of five colleges of the Peralta Community College District. Dr. Godbold soon learned that he would be faced with many challenges that in his opinion included: lack of administrative leadership, the college organization, an entrenched and dissident activist segment of a hybrid faculty, a Faculty that was anti-administration, hostility toward other District colleges, a serious adversity towards the District Office, faulty budget management, and other manisfestations. Dr. Godbold was successful in dealing with several of these problems, particularly in reorganizing the College, improving the budget management, instituting what became a "Student Assistance Laboratory, and an improved faculty selection process. The sucesses of Dr. Godbold were noticed by the District Board of Trustees who offered him the position of District Vice Chancellor without announcing the position or going through a selection process. He as the Vice Chancellor establish a much needed Office of Institutional Development and Analysis and attained the approval of several new instructional programs. He served in the position of Vice Chancellor until selected as the District Chancellor, "the second time around". The same kind of unpleasant faculty antagonism followed him. But he was successful in improving a District Registrar process, introducing the Student Accountability Model, establishing a Risk Management Program, among other successes until a Student Fee for Community College attendance was invoked that significantly reduced the District's enrollment before legal reductions in force could take place that left the District with Faculty that it legally had to pay for, in addition to the added costs of a Federally funded Vocational Skill Center that was unable to meet its contracted obligations that a newly elected Board majority whose mission was "me," the Chancellor rather than the District, that refused to close the Center when recommended by me, that significantly added to the District deficit and also vitalized District dissidents who enlisted others that lead to the conclusion of this book

Reports of successful treatment, utilizing assertiveness training, have been established mainly through research efforts coordinated with youthful populations. Lengthy literature reviews reveal only five attempts with the elderly population; only three interventions were empirically based and results have been inconclusive. This book discusses negative stereotypes of the aged and prevailing attitudes found within our profession which influence the psychological diagnosis and treatment of the elderly (i.e. -Why bother with them when there's no need to effect a change so late in life?-). The author reports a study which examines the effect of an assertiveness training program on assertion, self-esteem, locus of control, and health for an elderly population."
