Mothers of Misery

Mothers of Misery

David L. Ransel

Princeton University Press
2014
pokkari
At the height of its operation in the second half of the nineteenth century, the central foundling home in Moscow was receiving 17,000 children each year. The home dispatched most to wet nurses and foster care in the countryside, where at any one time it supervised over 40,000 children in Moscow province and six adjoining provinces. Established by Empress Catherine II in the middle of the eighteenth century, the two central foundling homes (the other was in St. Petersburg) were intended to deal humanely with the growing problems of abandonment and infanticide and to serve as social laboratories for educating artisans and craftspeople. David Ransel explores the creation and management of these institutions, shows how they functioned as a point of contact between educated society and the village, and compares them to the European foundling care programs on which they were modeled. "There were two central foundling homes in Russia, one in Moscow, one in St. Petersburg...[In this book] no significant aspect of their history is left untouched, and many issues are described and analyzed in rich detail...the book becomes, in part, a history of rural Russia over a one-hundred-fifty-year period, or, more accurately, of the provincial hinterlands of the two capitals. ..The interaction between city and countryside turns out to be much more than a clich in this fascinating study."--Reginald E. Zelnik, American Historical Review Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

The Spectrum of Political Engagement

The Spectrum of Political Engagement

David L. Schalk

Princeton University Press
2015
pokkari
Why do artists, poets, philosophers, writers, and others who are usually classified as intellectuals leave the ivory tower to "dirty their hands" in the political arena? In an effort to illuminate the intellectual's struggle to come to grips with the issues raised by political involvement, David Schalk examines the life and thought of five intellectuels engages in France during the period between 1920 and 1945. From communist to fascist, these figures--Paul Nizan, Jean-Paul Sartre, Emmanuel Mounier, Julien Benda, and Robert Brasillach--cover the full political spectrum, and Professor Schalk studies their diverse reactions to the social, political, and economic tensions of the interwar period. Broadly defining "engagement" as political involvement that is voluntary, conscious, and freely chosen, usually by intellectuals, the author poses the intellectual's dilemma in the following terms: "When we are engage," he writes, "we fear that we are debasing our highest values; when we are not, we worry that we have become, in Paul Nizan's trenchant phrase, mere chiens de garde [watchdogs]." He then investigates the origins and the popularization of the concept of engagement in the early 1930s, the arguments used to denounce it and to defend it, its different manifestations, and finally its effects on the socio-political actuality of the world. Originally published in 1979.

N O I R: A White Paper

N O I R: A White Paper

David L. Charney MD

Noir for USA, Inc.
2014
nidottu
NOIR: A White Paper Proposing a New Policy for Improving National Security by Fixing the Problem of Insider Spies is a two-part White Paper, written by David L. Charney, M.D., a psychiatrist who had the unique experience of interviewing former FBI counterintelligence officer Robert Hanssen in jail, weekly, for approximately two hours per visit, for a year. Dr. Charney did the same with two other incarcerated insider spies: Earl Pitts (former FBI Special Agent revealed as a KGB spy), and Brian Regan (former Air Force/NRO).Dr. Charney's interest was to better understand the minds of spies for the sake of strengthening our national security. Over the eighteen years of his work with these cases, Dr. Charney developed a greater understanding of insider spy psychology and formulated new approaches and fresh proposals for better managing the problem of insider spies.Dr. Charney's first paper, "True Psychology of the Insider Spy," Part One of his two-part White Paper on insider spies, was published in late 2010 in the AFIO Intelligencer. This paper can be viewed on the NCIX (National Counterintelligence Executive) website.Most Insider Threat management initiatives have been technology driven. While clever and useful up to a point, they are subject to the Law of Diminishing Returns and can backfire by creating a negative, distrustful workplace atmosphere.A well-motivated insider can defeat nearly any technology-based system. They will always find a way.By contrast, Dr. Charney's NOIR proposals center on the minds of potential or current insider threats: their psychologies and their inner worlds. The battle must be won there.NOIR focuses on "classic" state-sponsored espionage. However, many of its points are applicable for dealing with Snowden-type threats.NOIR for USA is a 501(c)3 entity to educate the US Intelligence Community, other government components, including the Congress, the courts, responsible journalists, and the general public, about the NOIR concepts and proposals.Dr. Charney and his colleagues at NOIR for USA would appreciate any comments, criticisms, or additional thoughts you may have about NOIR concepts and proposals: [email protected]

The Gospel of Adam

The Gospel of Adam

David L. Bishop

The Bible's story of creation in Genesis names Adam as the first human in history. His story with Eve in the Garden of Eden is widely known-but what if he actually played a larger part in the story of humanity? In The Gospel of Adam, David L. Bishop takes well-known stories and characters from history and presents them through the eyes of Adam, as though he were living throughout all time on a mission to restore fallen humanity to a place worthy of returning to perfection. Following Adam through his profound interactions with Noah, King David, Jesus of Nazareth, and even Adolf Hitler, this book shows how Adam struggles not only with his mission to help humanity but also his own internal doubts as a man of faith. In the vein of works like The Da Vinci Code and The Last Templar, Bishop's The Gospel of Adam weaves history, philosophy, religion, and politics throughout a thought-provoking first-person narrative that both challenges and inspires the reader to consider what it really means to be human.

In a culture where coffee shops are an expected sight on every street corner and caf menus require twenty feet of wall space, it can be a daunting experience to journey into the surprisingly vast world of coffee. There are resources to guide you through the espresso menu, but in this day and age, you need more than a book of facts. The American barista plays as much a role as the coffee itself in your caf experience. Hip, tattooed, and full of opinions, baristas pride themselves on their coffee snobbery, and for better or worse, they are the gatekeepers of your caffeine. Luckily, The Coffee Snob is your sharp-tongued crash course to the world of espresso and the baristas who prepare it for you. David Foster's fast paced, clever book is a wealth of information about the core caf menu told through the lens of his years of experience as a barista. Find out why coffee snobs scoff at the "skinny vanilla latte," and why macchiatos have become a metaphor for the battle between corporate coffee and small independent shops. Whether you want to know more about your favorite drink or branch out into new caffeinated horizons, The Coffee Snob will empower you to order your next espresso drink with confidence and just a touch of barista-certified snobbery.

You Are What You Don't Say - Finding a New Paradigm for Business Communication is about bringing a new era of respect, trust, kindness and inspiration to all of our business lives. The modern world of human interaction has become a strange mix of old and new, appropriate and inappropriate, effective and ineffective, and can include too many downright disrespectful and failed attempts at dialogue. Even with all of the enormous changes in technology, the way people work and interact, and the overwhelming demands placed on humans' ability to rapidly exchange information, there has been almost no societal adaptation of guidelines for how we should communicate effectively. What businesspeople need is direction toward a new paradigm for how we all interact with each other.This is not just another book about where to put your hands when you talk. The world needs much more than that. Business in the twenty-first century is moving and changing so rapidly that success can only come to individuals and organizations which are fluid, innovative, and creative in their approaches and their exchange of information.Authored by a communication expert with more than thirty-five years of strategic communication consulting experience, You Are What You Don't Say - Finding a New Paradigm for Business Communication is written for readers who want to understand why certain things work in communicating, and how some communication approaches are far better than others in today's business environment. It explores how meanness became so prevalent in so many companies and gives specific guidelines for finding the way to more innovative dialogue. This book can be a life-changing experience for anyone seeking to become more influential, liked, respected, and successful in their business and personal life.

Desperado: In Reckless Pursuit of a Relentless Jesus

Desperado: In Reckless Pursuit of a Relentless Jesus

David L. Clark

Central Christian
2017
nidottu
I am deeply troubled by what I see in most churches across our nation today. The average American congregation has less than 100 people. 85% of U.S. churches are at best stagnant and at worst in disappointing decline. Could it be that there are too many church-goers and not enough Christ-followers?As believers, we certainly talk a good deal about following Jesus. But it feels like the phrase has lost its meaning. It's a cliche that needs to be resurrected from the dead. Interestingly, the New Testament has a very vivid word for those who humbly follow Jesus--the "despised " It comes from the combination of two Greek words, which mean "from nothing." A good English word for "despised" might be "desperado." We tend to think of a desperado as someone outside the law. But originally, the word meant a nobody with nothing, desperate enough to take reckless action to get something of substance for their life.This book is a heartcry to all those who would be desperados for Jesus. Jesus makes us the target of His relentless love. He is the divine Desperado, who will stop at nothing to rescue us to life abundant and everlasting. This is a spiritual adventure you will never regret--a reckless pursuit of our relentless Jesus.Jesus has made us the target of His relentless love.
