When the American Civil War ended Confederate officer Robert Ambrose left his fellow soldiers to return to the girl who had haunted his thoughts and dreams for the entirety of the war, but upon arriving home he learned that not only was the cause wrong, so was everything he had hoped to return to. The girl he was to marry was now promised to another, and his former mentor had cheated him. Disillusioned he left his home in River Falls, Georgia for something different: The Colorado Territory of the American West. Ambrose soon learned that the West was wild and untamed, and despite his effort to find peace and to create a normal and stable world, something continued to pull him toward death and ruin. While the former Confederate soldier made his way through the treacherous territory of Colorado the girl he thought had been lost to him chose to follow him to the West while facing hazards of her own. While they fight to survive and to find meaning in a dangerous and new place they both learn about themselves while always thinking of the other. But will they find each other in an unfamiliar world that is as inhospitable to love as it is to law and order?

Exposing the stakes and consequences of the enormous bureaucracy behind the administrative surveillance of alcohol consumption, this critical study takes a closer look at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO). Beginning with its inception in 1927, this study documents how the LCBO Subjected alcohol consumption to its disciplinary gaze and generated knowledge about the drinking population. The Board's exploitation of technological advances is also detailed, depicting their transition from paper permit books to the first punched card computer systems. Revealing how they tracked any and all alcohol consumption, this investigation records how they created categories and profiles of individuals, especially of women, aboriginals, and the poor, so they could ?control" drinking in the province. Examining the categorical treatment of populations such as First Nations, this analysis illustrates how this company helped to develop and foster stereotypes around addiction that persist to this day.

Our public school systems must be transformed in order to help every child achieve his or her potential. However, transformational leadership can be intense, complex, and often chaotic, producing storms of resistance, controversy, and pressure. To survive such storms, author Scott Thompson contends that educators must learn to lead with peace and clarity. In this book, Thompson aims to make new connections within the education reform movement, unleash new energies among leaders, and open new perspectives. Through research and in-depth interviews with seventeen educational leaders, the author explores new developments in the area of spiritual leadership for the systemic improvement of public schools. Topics of discussion include: · Core values · Moral purpose · Building shared trust · Ownership, and · Vision These and other dimensions of spiritual leadership are given grounding with practical examples and tangible results. For superintendents, central office directors, school board members, principals, teacher leaders, and those who facilitate or provide technical assistance on systemic educational improvement.

This is a book dealing with the big questions about development: · What is development? · Can Third World countries ever hope to 'catch up'? · Can a development path be found that avoids indefinite impoverishment on the one hand, and environmental destruction on the other? · What is the relationship, if any, between economic growth and political development? · Can a country that has failed hitherto create for itself a second chance? In their wide-ranging and insightful exploration, the authors take as their main examples two contrasting countries: Ghana, the first African colony to win independence, but which plunged into a downward spiral of economic decay; and Thailand, which was poorer than West Africa in the 1950s, but which went on to achieve decades of extraordinarily rapid economic growth, albeit at considerable environmental and human cost. Intensely readable, this thought-provoking and courageous book brings the big questions about development to a wide audience of college students and interested readers.
