"This analysis of President Carter's foreign policy in the Horn of Africa demonstrates Carter's consistent approach to foreign affairs throughout his administration. It discusses the ways in which this policy dealt with such issues as human rights abuses, Cold War concerns including a strong Communist bloc presence, and the violation of international law"--Provided by publisher.
For many immigrants, the move from Sicily to a New York tenement was accompanied by rapid, significant, and often surprisingly satisfactory changes in a wide variety of social relationships. Many of these changes can be traced to the influence of a changing housing environment.From Sicily to Elizabeth Street analyzes the relationship of environment to social behavior. It revises our understanding of the Italian-American family and challenges existing notions of the Italian immigrant experience by comparing everyday family and social life in the agrotowns of Sicily to life in a tenement neighborhood on New York's Lower East Side at the turn of the century.Moving historical understanding beyond such labels as "uprooted" and "huddled masses," the book depicts the immigrant experience from the perspective of the immigrants themselves. It begins with a uniquely detailed description of the Sicilian backgrounds and moves on to recreate Elizabeth Street in lower Manhattan, a neighborhood inhabited by some 8,200 Italians.The author shows how the tightly knit conjugal family became less important in New York than in Sicily, while a wider association of kin groups became crucial to community life. Immigrants, who were mostly young people, began to rely more on their related peers for jobs and social activities and less on parents who remained behind.Interpreting their lives in America, immigrants abandoned some Sicilian ideals, while other customs, though Sicilian in origin, assumed new and distinctive forms as this first generation initiated the process of becoming Italian-American.
This unique book examines how mental health issues impact the workplace, and explores ways to create more mentally healthy work environments. Kemp shows how a mentally healthy workplace can enhance productivity, satisfaction, attendance, and longevity in employment and how companies should comply with federal laws including the 1990s Americans with Disabilities Act. Kemp points out the importance of mental health in the selection, management, and retention of employees and addresses issues such as violence in the workplace and the effects of corporate culture. She also shows the extent to which mental health plays a role in physical health problems and the cost of inappropriately focusing on physical health care when the underlying issues are mental and emotional health and lifestyle.
The AHA! Handbook: How to Spark the Insights That Will Transform Your Life and Career

Would you like to know what you can do, the actions you can take, to prime yourself for a life-changing insight--one that would transform your health, relationships, career, or spiritual life? The AHA Handbook is the first research-based self-help book that teaches readers how to spark these kinds of pivotal realizations. It counters conventional wisdom, which holds that momentous, life-altering AHA s are rare events outside a person's control. Donna Hartney, Ph.D., analyzed 99 published, first-hand accounts of transformational insights. For example, she analyzed how Nelson Mandela, Sandra Oh, Tracy Chevalier, and Norman Vincent Peale experienced powerful AHA s that defined their careers. She analyzed how Nora Ephron, Emily Proctor, Blair Underwood, and Shonda Rhimes, experienced pivotal epiphanies that remade their relationships. She analyzed how Queen Latifah, Josh Hamilton, Maria Shriver, and Eckhart Tolle experienced profound insights that transformed their health and well-being. The AHA Handbook presents the results of that research interwoven with inspirational, real-life stories of life-changing insights and practical advice. The book describes 21 actions readers can take to generate powerful, life-altering realizations in their lives and careers. These actions fall into three phases: prime yourself to live life in a way that attracts pivotal realizations, watch for triggers to notice and leverage life's insight-rich moments, and capture the value to tap the transformational power of an AHA once it arrives.

Freemasons contributed to America and the state of Alabama through their patriotic service and philanthropic work since 1811, but little is known about their backgrounds. Utilizing the bonds of their fraternity, but without fanfare, the freemasons built schools, orphanages, nursing homes, provided for the sick and elderly, fought wars, and were an integral part in building the state of Alabama and our country. They were, simply put, 'the epitome of good patriots and citizens.'As wife of one of the Grand Masters, Donna R. Causey, had the unique opportunity to work with Alabama's Grand Lodge to provide biographical data into the lives and backgrounds of all the Grand Masters of Freemasonry in Alabama from 1811 to 2011.

As the story goes, after the great clan wars, two sisters dwelt on the edge of the canyons, in the manor of the Lord and Lady McCormick known as Bainsford. Each of them bears their own burdens of birth. Elsie the scars and markings of her people, the na h ireann, men of science and discovery. Annalicia the condition she inherited from her father, a hideous, violent man - an outsider.Known only as Dances with the Butterflies, and the Wishing Woman of Johnsport, by the original peoples, the Daoine R alta, the sisters are to be avoided at all costs. They are dangerous to be sure, and hold a deep and mysterious power beneath their flesh. One they hide in the elusive Butterfly Fields of legend.It was these sisters, who brought the war between He Who Created All Things and the ruler of the Land of Eternal Flames to the Lowlands. The only hope for the Lowlands, and indeed the world, is the secret that lies in the depths of the keep of the Daoine R alta citadel.
