Numerous self-assessment and resource inventories in this practical handbook will guide readers in determining their areas of interests and competencies. Opportunities for networking among state licensing/standards agencies, funding agencies, and a listing of elder care organizations and advocacy groups adds value to this time-saving resource, ensuring a quicker and more likely success.

How to Cast Out Demons – A Guide to the Basics

Doris M. Wagner

Chosen Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group
2000
nidottu
Many modern Christians are now agreeing that we should take Jesus' command to cast out demons more seriously than we have in recent years. But how do we do it? Where do we start? This practical, down-to-earth book shows us how. From Doris Wagner, one of the leading authorities on biblical deliverance in North America, this manual teaches Christians how to take and break soul ties; how to break bondages of rejection, addiction, lust, and more; and how to set free those whom the enemy has held captive.

Lonesome Traveler

Lonesome Traveler

Doris Willens; Pete Seeger

Bison Books
1993
pokkari
During the Great Depression, Lee Hays, the son of a Southern Methodist minister, used his music to life the hearts of sharecroppers and miners and union organizers. He helped bring black music to America's consciousness. He could make people laugh in times when there seemed little to laugh about. An Arkansas traveler and radical minstrel, he commented wryly on events and impaled reactionary southern congressmen on their own words. A kind of Mark Twain of the left, people said. But Lee Hays, for all his great size and talents and humor, was also a difficult man, plagued by self-doubts and a driving need to discombobulate any person or group that struck him as self-satisfied. Lonesome Traveler is the story of a prodigious talent with a zeal for changing the world. With Pete Seeger he formed the popular folksinging group the Weavers, which sang songs of social justice just as a tidal wave of red-hunting hit America. The rest of his legendary story will anger, touch, and delight.

George Montague Wheeler

George Montague Wheeler

Doris Ostrander Dawdy

Swallow Press
1993
sidottu
Until Dawdy's \u201cThe Wyant Diary\u201d appeared in Arizona and the West in 1980, it was virtually unknown that Lt. Wheeler was the leader of the government exploring party from which artist A. H. Wyant returned with a paralyzed arm. So little used were government reports prior to the mid-twentieth century that not one of the writers and compilers of information about this prominent artist, known to have been with a military expedition, had looked at the most likely report, that of Lt. Wheeler. Government reports can be extremely misleading. Fault can be found with Wheeler’s in particular. Not only was the Wyant incident disguised in the 1873 report, but earlier reports concealed a hidden agenda that was not exposed until the 1960s when Wheeler’s mining operations were disclosed. Dawdy’s research was done mainly at the National Archives during the years she lived in the Washington area. All War Department papers relating to Wheeler's explorations from 1869 to 1879 were examined and many of them copied. They tell a far different story from that told by Wheeler in his early reports and his final report which appeared in 1889. Likewise so do the field notes of G. K. Gilbert, Wheeler’s chief geologist, and a recent Indian rights case filed by the Hualapai Tribe of Arizona claiming compensation for minerals extracted by mining entrepreneurs, including some in Wheeler’s Maynard District that were located by Wheeler and various members of his expedition in 1871. At last there is an explanation of the powers of attorney Wheeler extracted from members of his expedition in 1871 when the government was accused by a California newspaper of sending out a party of prospectors. Mineral locations found by those prospectors became the property of Lyons and Wheeler Mining Company, a California corporation, in 1872.

"Astonishes in its honesty. . . . What greater gift can a memoir bring than a self revealed in all its grubby particulars?" -Rebecca Pepper Sinkler, "The Washington Post Book World" "A diary of a day that encapsulates the memories, reflections, and yearnings of a lifetime as gracefully as a Faberge egg captures spring sunlight in its tiny interior." -"Kirkus Reviews" "For Grumbach, living is an adventure on the magic carpet ride of memory, reverie, and imagination.

The Pleasure of Their Company

The Pleasure of Their Company

Doris Grumbach

Beacon Press
2001
pokkari
Using the occasion of her eightieth-birthday party to reflect on the past, Grumbach delivers an enchanting memoir of the writers, friends, and loves who have accompanied her in mind and body through an extraordinary life of letters." "Through her eyes we enter the rich literary world of the twentieth century. From her days as a proofreader at Mademoiselle in the 1940s, Grumbach recalls a parade of celebrities - from Gypsy Rose Lee to Carson McCullers. She relives a shocking encounter with Bertrand Russell, explains the meaning of the recent loss of May Sarton, and names a new cat after her acquaintance and Washington journalist Kitty Kelley." "With guides such as Malcolm Cowley, Samuel Beckett, Thomas Merton, and Virginia Woolf, Grumbach's reveling in the company of writers and friends shows us what it means to keep the living and the dead in our lives.

Madness like Morning Glories

Madness like Morning Glories

Doris Davenport

Louisiana State University Press
2005
nidottu
In her enchanting poem sequence, Doris Davenport introduces readers to Soque Street and its ""Affrilachian"" residents. These African Americans inhabiting an Appalachian community in northeast Georgia live in a world where magic threads daily life and the living and dead commingle. Ghosts, self-propelled caskets, and sensate trees are as natural as morning glories to these characters, who are at once eccentric and universal, peculiar and welcoming. Spoken in intersecting and overlapping monologues, the poems create a refreshing portrait of small-town life, with its mix of quotidian concerns and the larger experiences of love, passion, grief, jealousy, and madness. The story of Soque Street moves from voice to voice and through poetic forms with ease and confidence. Sometimes frightening, often funny, and always compelling and potent, madness like morning glories is a major achievement by a poet of tremendous originality who possesses an intuition for the subtle secrets of language.

Equitable Literacy Instruction for Students in Poverty

Equitable Literacy Instruction for Students in Poverty

Doris Walker-Dalhouse; Victoria J. Risko

TEACHERS' COLLEGE PRESS
2024
nidottu
Differences in performance between students of poverty and more advantaged students are reflective of an opportunity gap, as opposed to a gap in student ability. This book argues that significant attention must be given to eliminating the barriers that produce educational inequities in student achievement. Walker-Dalhouse and Risko focus on disparities in literacy achievement that might be attributed to color-blind practices, deficit mindsets, low expectations, or context-neutral practices. Situating literacy learning within a comprehensive view of literacy development, they provide a set of instructional practices that will best support students living in poverty. Specifically, vignettes from kindergarten through middle school classrooms are used to demonstrate practices that address critical areas of the reading process; are responsive to students' racial, ethnic, cultural, gender, and linguistic histories and assets; attend to students' strengths and needs; and go beyond the impact of short-term testing to support optimal and sustainable learning. Educators and school leaders can use this resource to transform schools into nurturing and vibrant communities that are committed to change, equity, and diversity.Book Features:Provides recommendations and detailed guidance for enacting literacy instruction that will close opportunity gaps for students living in poverty.Includes vignettes from leading literacy educators and researchers that demonstrate high-quality literacy instruction implemented in K–8 classrooms.Presents instruction that is responsive to differences and honors the languages, literacies, and cultural resources that students bring to their learning.Offers specific recommendations and practices that can guide advocacy for change.

Jackie Cochran

Jackie Cochran

Doris Rich

University Press of Florida
2007
sidottu
Born in 1906 in Muskokee, Florida, Jacqueline "Jackie" Cochran was America's greatest woman pilot: the first to break the sound barrier, first to fly a bomber across the Atlantic, possessor of more than 200 aviation records and the commander of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II. Cochran reached Mach 2 - twice the speed of sound - in a Lockheed F-104, having already become a colonel in the Air Force Reserve. Intelligent, brash, determined, courageous, and ambitious, she counted presidents Eisenhower and Johnson among her friends, as well as national leaders in business, Congress, and military and commercial aviation. Drawing upon previously unpublished information about Cochran's early years and her first marriage, and on her extensive correspondence with U.S. presidents, Air Force generals, aircraft designers, test pilots, and business tycoons, Rich shows Cochran's many contrasts. Seen by enemies as an egotistical master of self-promotion, she was nevertheless capable of loyal and abiding friendships. And although her personality was sometimes abrasive, she used it to accomplish impressive results, including her work on behalf of an independent Air Force. This first extensive critical biography puts Cochran's great talents and achievements in the context of her turbulent personal life to create a portrait of a remarkable, complicated woman.

"In Doris Rich's latest aviation biography, barefoot, illiterate Bessie Pittman reinvents herself as Jacqueline Cochran, the brash beautician who set more speed and altitude records than any pilot in history. . . . Rich illuminates the lesser-known facts of this under-appreciated pioneer and lights a belated candle for her too."--Air and Space"History has proven Earhart to be the favorite, but Cochran undoubtedly was the superior pilot: determined to be not just the best woman pilot but to be the best pilot, period, she broke countless aviation records for speed, altitude, and distance. . . . Rich gives Cochran her rightful place in aviation history."--Publishers Weekly"Often combative and abrasive, Cochran is a true American legend, and Rich's biography will ensure that Cochran's contributions will not be forgotten."--Booklist"At the time of her death on August 9, 1980, Jacqueline "Jackie" Cochran--recipient of America's Distinguished Service Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, and Legion of Merit--held more speed, altitude, and distance records (200-plus) than any other pilot, male or female, in the history of aviation. . . . Rich reminds us that this remarkable lady, despite her shortcomings, reached Mach 2--twice the speed of sound--piloting a Lockheed F-104 at the tender age of 58."--Library Journal
