The Descendants of William Hayward of Easton, Massachusetts by His Two Wives, Lydia Manley and Ann Holland
The Descendants of William Hayward of Easton, Massachusetts documents William's life in the eighteenth century, his two wives, Lydia Manley and Ann Holland, his children who began the journey that settled America, from their moves to Western Mass., both Southern and Northern Vermont and Central Maine, and his grandchildren's moves to upstate New York, Ohio, and states further west. Extensively researched and documented, the book corrects many errors currently in widespread use in many family trees. The book makes extensive use of original vital records, land deeds and probate records, some family Bibles, and numerous early genealogies, correcting many of them where the original records were found. Over 1370 descendants were identified through five generations, and the book has an extensive index of every name and every place to help the reader locate their family.

Each volume in this richly illustrated series, sponsored by the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology, provides an organ-based approach to the cytologic and histologic diagnosis of small tissue samples including fine-needle aspiration biopsy, cell block samples and core, pinch and forceps biopsies. This volume provides a practical approach to preparing and assessing pancreatic aspiration, core biopsy and brushing samples. Benign, pre-malignant and malignant entities are presented in a well-organized and standardized format supported with high-resolution color photomicrographs, tables, tabulated specific morphologic criteria and appropriate ancillary testing algorithms. Example vignettes allow the reader to assimilate the diagnostic principles in a case-based format. This unique series strengthens the bridge between surgical pathology and cytopathology, providing the pathologist with the ability to diagnose small tissue samples with confidence. The CD-ROM packaged with the printed book contains all the images in a downloadable format, making this a valuable resource for practicing and trainee pathologists.

Description: The focus of this book, Why Darkness Matters: The Power of Melanin In The Brain, is to acquaint the public with the reality and importance, both scientific and clinical, of melanin in the human brain and its wider implications for society, families, and science. This is area of study is both emotionally sensitive as well as socially complex. A quick scan of its table of contents gives a clear indication of its place in science today. The importance of variable surface skin melanin is well known along with how this plays itself out in society, culture and even in families around the dynamics of skin color, social positions, and power in society. No one denies this influence rightly or wrongly, in issues of ethnicity, in politics, economics and mass cultural imagery which none of us can escape.The seminal influence however of inner melanin, especially brain or neuromelanin, has been largely ignored. Yet its profound influence in the development of the human embryo, the organs systems, the nervous system of all the higher mammals and especially the higher human brain functions, is surprisingly under recognized. Skin melanin is significantly different in functioning and importance than inner brain and nervous system neuromelanin. Neuromelanin is much deeper, universal, and far beyond a simple 'racial' issue. The four authors of this book have set out to expand our understanding and bring the powerful and healing reality of universal neuromelanin in the brain into our public lives, taking us beyond superficial surface ethnic differences.

An important contribution to the ongoing debate over the origins of mental illness, this book is based on the largest study ever of identical twins in which one was ill and the other not. The book provides compelling evidence that both schizophrenia and manic-depressive disorder are biologically based diseases of the brain, unrelated to psychological influences.

Chinese Village, Socialist State

Chinese Village, Socialist State

Edward Friedman; Paul G. Pickowicz; Mark Selden; Kay Ann Johnson

Yale University Press
1993
pokkari
The detailed portrait of social change in the North China plain depicts how the world of the Chinese peasant evolved during an era of war and revolution and how it in turn shaped the revolutionary process. The authors spent a decade interviewing villagers and rural officials, exploring archives, and investigating villagers with diverse resources and cultural, traditions, and they vividly describe both the promise and the human tragedy of China’s rural revolution. Exploring the decades before and after the establishment of the People’s Republic in 1949, they trace the growing economic desperation and cultural disintegration that led to the revolution, the reforms undertaken by the Communist leadership that initially brought economic gains and cultural healing, and the tensions that soon developed between party and peasantry. They show that the Communist antimarket and collectivist strategies which culminated in the imposed collectivization of 1955-56 and the disastrous Great Leap Forward of 1958-60, clashed with cherished peasant cultural norms and economic aspirations. Eventually the party’s attack on peasant values and interests, the authors find, produced a rupture that threatened both developmental and socialist goals and destroyed the democratic potential of the revolution at its best.

How can opportunities for teaching and learning be improved to ensure that many more people participate, gain qualifications and obtain decent jobs? Will government policies enable us to achieve these goals? What new ideas do we need to ensure a more inclusive, equitable and efficient learning system? These are some of the main concerns which underlie this thought-provoking book coming from a major research project looking at how policies affect learners, tutors, managers and institutional leaders in Further Education Colleges, Adult and Community Learning centres and in Work Based Learning sites.Post compulsory education in the UK has been constantly restructured by the New Labour government and has been subject to considerable policy turbulence over the last few years. This book attempts to understand this important but poorly understood sector by both talking to students and front-line staff and by interviewing the officials responsible for managing post-compulsory education and lifelong learning.By examining the sector simultaneously from the ‘bottom up’ and from ‘top down’, the authors show how recent policy is affecting three disadvantaged groups - 16-19 year olds who have fared poorly in official tests at school; unemployed adults learning basic skills; and employees at work learning basic skills. The authors conclude that there are serious failings and suggest principles and features of a more equitable and effective learning system.

An antidote to the culture of fear that dominates modern life From moral panics about immigration and gun control to anxiety about terrorism and natural disasters, Americans live in a culture of fear. While fear is typically discussed in emotional or poetic terms—as the opposite of courage, or as an obstacle to be overcome—it nevertheless has very real consequences in everyday life. Persistent fear negatively effects individuals' decision-making abilities and causes anxiety, depression, and poor physical health. Further, fear harms communities and society by corroding social trust and civic engagement. Yet politicians often effectively leverage fears to garner votes and companies routinely market unnecessary products that promise protection from imagined or exaggerated harms. Drawing on five years of data from the Chapman Survey of American Fears—which canvasses a random, national sample of adults about a broad range of fears—Fear Itself offers new insights into what people are afraid of and how fear affects their lives. The authors also draw on participant observation with Doomsday preppers and conspiracy theorists to provide fascinating narratives about subcultures of fear. Fear Itself is a novel, wide-ranging study of the social consequences of fear, ultimately suggesting that there is good reason to be afraid of fear itself.
