A Lion of the Seasons: The Adventurous Life of Edward J. Cronin (1881-1968): A Biography of the Life of Edward J. Cronin

Writing from Cavite El Viejo in the Philippines during the Spanish American War, a 19 year old Corporal wrote his sister: "What will I do if I should have to change to a climate of 6 degrees below? Do you think I could be able to stand it after coming from a country where I doubt if it ever went below 40 degrees? Don't imagine for a minute that us soldiers care for 1/4 of the cold. That you are having there now (in March I mean) our blood is so thin and vitality so low from climatic diseases that 1/4 of that cold would kill us all in a month. Say Sister ask Aunt Ellen if there was any roving spirits in the Cronin family, for if there was, his sins of roving must have passed the other generations and singled me out to keep the thing a-going." The 19 year old soldier penned part of his own unique future on that day in the tropics of the Philippines during the Spanish American War. Edward J. Cronin would indeed travel and reside in one of the coldest and most desolate regions of the United States, first journeying to Alaska in 1917 and staying there for 30 years. He took his first plane trip there and traveled by dog sled from Hot Springs to Bethel, Alaska covering 1,100 miles in 34 days in 1929. Considered a pioneer Alaskan, he was a bookkeeper working as a traveling auditor for the Northern Commercial Company and fiscal agent for the Matanuska Valley Colony for many years. Cronin was also in charge of the commissary department of the Alaska railroad and the engineer for the American Bridge Company helping build the railroad through Nenana and Denali National Park. As a result, he had a part in the ceremonies when President Harding drove the golden spike at Nenana in 1923 when the railroad was opened for traffic. As a soldier during the Spanish American War he had already journeyed throughout the world and when he came back to the United States, he would visit a good portion of the country as well. Even in his later years, Cronin traveled back to his ancestral homeland of Ireland. This then is the unique and adventurous life of a lion of the seasons, Edward J. Cronin.

T.S. Stribling

T.S. Stribling

Edward J. Piacentino

University Press of America
1987
nidottu
This book examines the major southern novels of T.S. Stribling, a seminal figure in the development of the serious social novel in the South. In them he exploits themes, character types, satiric attitudes, and stylistic strategies that echo some of those of the midwestern iconoclasts; in so doing, he introduced important materials that some of the South's more talented writers would subsequently treat.

What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism

What Works (and Doesn't) in Reducing Recidivism

Edward J Latessa; Shelley Johnson; Deborah Koetzle

Routledge
2020
sidottu
What Works (and Doesn’t) in Reducing Recidivism offers criminologists and students an evidence-based discussion of the latest trends in corrections. Experts Latessa, Johnson, and Koetzle translate the research and findings about what works and doesn’t work in reducing recidivism into understandable concepts and terms, presenting them in a way that illustrates the value of research to practice. Over the last several decades, research has clearly shown that rehabilitation efforts can be effective in reducing recidivism among criminal offenders, but it is clear that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Offenders vary by gender, age, crime type, and/or addictions, to name but a few ways, and these individual needs must be addressed by providers. Finally, issues such as leadership, quality of staff, and evaluation efforts affect the quality and delivery of treatment services. While other texts have addressed issues regarding treatment in corrections, this text is unique in that it not only discusses the research on "what works" but also addresses the implementation issues faced as practitioners move from theory to practice, as well as the importance of staff, leadership, and evaluation efforts.This book synthesizes the vast research for the student interested in correctional rehabilitation as well as for the practitioner working with offenders.

This book offers criminologists and students an evidence-based discussion of the latest trends in corrections. Over the last several decades, research has clearly shown that rehabilitation efforts can be effective at reducing recidivism among criminal offenders.

Offenders vary by gender, age, crime type, and/or addictions, to name but a few, and these individual needs must be addressed by providers.

What They Don't Teach You in Engineering School

What They Don't Teach You in Engineering School

Edward J. Vinarcik

Purdue Scholarly Publishing Services
2026
nidottu
Essential reading for any engineering graduate about to enter the workforce, What They Don't Teach You in Engineering School bridges the gap between the classroom and the real world. Based on a lifetime of lessons learned in the field, the author provides practical insights into engineering that are often excluded from a traditional university education. Engineering is as much an art as it is a science, involving continuous learning, management, and planning skills beyond technical and scientific knowledge. This book exposes and equips engineers with a broad array of tools and philosophies to better navigate real-world challenges. Topics include robust design, quality function deployment, and various design tools. This book is organized into sections that discuss design philosophies, management and planning, design tools, and statistical methods, with each chapter intended as a standalone lesson for readers to apply these principles practically and proactively in engineering environments.

Stepping into Rural Wisconsin

Stepping into Rural Wisconsin

Linda T Ruggeri; Edward J Kuehn

Insightful Editor
2017
pokkari
This historical memoir reveals the life of Carl Kuehn and Hulda Bandt, first generation Americans, who lived in rural Wisconsin during the late 1800s and early 1900s. There are many narratives about European immigrants that came to the US in the 1800s, but few talk about the families that arrived from Prussia. This recollection entertains, educates, and informs readers with fascinating historical details, how life was lived in the early 1900s in rural Wisconsin. Edward Kuehn and Linda Ruggeri put together the puzzle of Ed's Midwest American family to form a solid picture of his grandparents, taking the reader on a journey through their life, in early 20th-century America. We identify with the story because of the similarities with our own immigration ancestry. Through a series of vignettes we learn about the beauty, difficulty and simplicity of rural family life, all placed within the historical context of the times.

Concept of Sin

Concept of Sin

Josef Pieper; Edward T.S.J. Oakes

St Augustine's Press
2001
sidottu
In ordinary conversation, including among the 'educated,' the word 'sin' rarely gets mentioned except when one is trying to be coy or facetious. As Thomas Mann once said, 'sin' is nowadays 'an amusing word used only when one is trying to get a laugh.' But this small work will interpret sin in its true - that is, serious - meaning. What will emerge from its analysis is the discovery that the concept of sin can still serve to unlock the mystery of existence, at least for a thinking that wants to press down to the very foundations. In this work Pieper brings Plato, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas into a living dialogue with T. S. Eliot, Andre Gide, even with Jean-Paul Sartre. As he shows in this powerful work, none of these writers leaves any doubt that the fact of sin is central: It is the willful denial of one's own life-ground, a denial that alone rightly bears the name 'sin.' Paradoxically, this reality is both willed and yet also pre-given, that is, both adventitious and yet somehow innate to our existence - a paradox which, next to the mystey of existence itself, is the most impenetrable mystery of all.
