From Poverty to Power: How Active Citizens and Effective States Can Change the World

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The twenty-first century will be defined by the fight against the scourges of poverty, inequality, and the threat of environmental collapse–as the fight against slavery or for universal suffrage defined earlier eras. From Poverty to Power argues that to break the cycle of poverty and inequality and to give poor people power over their own destinies a radical redistribution of power, opportunities, and assets is required. The two driving forces behind such a transformation are active citizens and effective states. Why active citizenship? Because people living in poverty must have a voice in deciding their own destiny, fighting for rights and justice in their own society, and holding states and the private sector to account.Why effective states? Because history shows that no country has prospered without a state structure than can actively manage the development process. There is now an added urgency beyond the moral case for tackling poverty and inequality, we need to build a secure,… [detailed...]

From Preachers to Suffragists: Woman`s Rights and Religious Conviction in the Lives of Three Nineteenth-Century American Clergywomen

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe women`s rights movement in nineteenth-century America has primarily been interpreted as a secular movement. Often ignored is the prominent role of religious leaders and religious ideology in support of the movement for women?s rights. In From Preachers to Suffragists, Beverly Zink-Sawyer examines the lives of three nineteenth-century clergywomen?Antoinette Brown Blackwell, Olympia Brown, and Anna Howard Shaw?who saw their calling to the suffrage movement as an extension of their call to ministry and left the parish to become leaders in the movement. In demonstrating the importance of these women?and of their religious rhetoric and theological leadership?Zink-Sawyer reclaims the religious roots of the suffragemovement and makes a major, even corrective, contribution to American history.

James Cox
From Primitive to Indigenous

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate
Description: The academic study of Indigenous Religions developed historically from missiological and anthropological sources, but little analysis has been devoted to this classification within departments of religious studies. Evaluating this assumption in the light of case studies drawn from Zimbabwe, Alaska and shamanic traditions, and in view of current debates over `primitivism`, James Cox mounts a defence for the scholarly use of the category `Indigenous Religions`.

From Problem to Solution: Wireless Sensor Networks Security

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Reserving data authenticity in a hostile environment, where the sensor nodes may be compromised, is a critical security issue for wireless sensor networks. In such networks, once a real event is detected, nearby sensors generate data reports which are subsequently forwarded to the data collection point. However, the subverted sensors, which have access to the stored secret keys, can launch attacks to compromise data authenticity. They can act as sources for forged reports and inject an unlimited number of bogus reports that fabricate false events `happening` at arbitrary locations in the field. Such false reports may exhaust network energy and bandwidth resources, trigger false alarms and undesired reactions. The authors explain such attacks and that which can be roughly categorized as isolated attacks by each individual compromised node or colluding attacks by a group of collaborating impostors.

Description: Book DescriptionLiberal theory of contract is traditionally associated with the view according to which contract law can be explained simply as a mechanism for the enforcement of promises. The book bucks this trend by offering a theory of contract law based on a careful philosophical investigation of not only the similarities, but also the much-overlooked differences between contract and promise.

Description: `We were poor but we had everything we needed,` reminisces Dona Epifania. Nonetheless, when a man she knew told her about a job in Philadelphia, she grasped the opportunity to leave Coamas. `He went to Puerto Rico and told me there were beans to cook. I came here and cooked for fourteen workers.` In San Lorenzo, Dona Carmen and her husband made the same decision: `We didn`t want to, nobody wanted to leave. . . . There wasn`t any alternative.` Don Florencio recalls that in Salinas work had gotten scarce, `especially for the youth, the young men. . . . The farmworker that was used to cutting cane, already the sugar cane was disappearing,` and government licensing regulations made fishing `more difficult for the poor.` Puerto Rican migration to the mainland following World War II took place for a range of reasons?globalization of the economy, the colonial relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico, state policies, changes in regional and local economies,… [detailed...]

From Quebradita to Duranguense: Dance in Mexican American Youth Culture

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
Description: Salsa and merengue are now so popular that they are household words for Americans of all ethnic backgrounds. Recent media attention is helping other Caribbean music styles like bachata to attain a similar status. Yet popular Mexican American dances remain unknown and invisible to most non Latinos. Quebradita, meaning `little break,` is a modern Mexican American dance style that became hugely popular in Los Angeles and across the southwestern United States during the early to mid 1990s. Over the decade of its popularity, this dance craze offered insights into the social and cultural experience of Mexican American youth. Accompanied by banda, an energetic brass band music style, quebradita is recognizable by its western clothing, hat tricks, and daring flips. The dance`s combination of Mexican, Anglo, and African American influences represented a new sensibility that appealed to thousands of young people. Hutchinson argues that, though short lived, the dance filled political and… [detailed...]

Leonid Heifets
From Russia with Tales and Confessions to Discovering America

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From Russia with Tales and Confessions to Discovering America was written by Leonid Heifets, it is a memoir that documents his struggle with the Soviet system and profiles some of the colorful individuals who represented that society. The book presents a collage of stories about events from five Central Asian Republics, the Russian Far North, Siberia, the Caucasus Mountains, and Central Africa. They describe the spirit and political climate of the scientific institutions of the Soviet Union, including their involvement in the bacteriological warfare program. These insider views may shed some light on the image of the presumably ``mysterious`` Russian character and on Russia in general. The final chapters of the book summarize Dr. Heifets`s personal and professional experience in his adopted country and his unconventional perspective as a newcomer to life in the United States. While critical, these comments are filled with an optimistic spirit. Dr. Heifets`s involvement in the… [detailed...]

Description: Bret Harte is a fondly remembered western writer who spent only eighteen of his sixty-six years in the American west -- in fact, he went on, in 1878, to get work as an American consul in Germany, and as far as we can tell, never came back to the United States. He died in 1902, and was buried in the churchyard of St. Peter`s Church, in Frimley, Surrey, England. Even so, the American west was in his heart, and that was what he wrote about -- here, in From Sand Hill to Pine, including stories like `A Niece of Snapshot Harry`s,` `A Treasure of the Redwoods,` `A Belle of Canada City,` `What Happened at the Fonda,` `A Jack and Jill of the Sierras,` and `Mr. Bilson`s Housekeeper.` Harte was a wonderful writer, this is a volume you won`t want to miss.

Mary Loeffelholz
From School to Salon : Reading Nineteenth-Century American Women`s Poetry

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description With the transformation and expansion of the nineteenth-century American literary canon in the past two decades, the work of the era`s American women poets has come to be widely anthologized. But scant scholarship has arisen to make full sense of it. From School to Salon responds to this glaring gap. Mary Loeffelholz presents the work of nineteenth-century women poets in the context of the history, culture, and politics of the times. She uses a series of case studies to discuss why the recovery of nineteenth-century women`s poetry has been a process of anthologization without succeeding analysis. At the same time, she provides a much-needed account of the changing social contexts through which nineteenth-century American women became poets: initially by reading, reciting, writing, and publishing poetry in school, and later, by doing those same things in literary salons, institutions created by the high-culture movement of the day. Along the way,… [detailed...]
