Book excerpt: Brother & Sister Firefighter, Sometime, ask a seasoned firefighter if they've ever seen anything funny in the firehouse and see where the conversation goes. A couple things will likely happen: the old salt will likely recall a number of great times they've had that are unlike any other social environment out there, and second, the new blood will get an idea of how America's firehouse should be. A laughing firehouse is a healthy firehouse. Some of the best-known names in North America's fire service today share their pranks and antics, as well their insight as to why humor in the firehouse--the healthy firehouse--is becoming lore instead of thriving as it once did.
Download or read book The Kennedy Family and the Story of Mental Retardation written by Edward Shorter and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Edward Shorter, just forty years ago the institutions housing people with mental retardation (MR) had become a national scandal. The mentally retarded who lived at home were largely isolated and a source of family shame. Although some social stigma still attaches to the people with developmental disabilities (a range of conditions including what until recently was called mental retardation), they now actively participate in our society and are entitled by law to educational, social, and medical services. The immense improvement in their daily lives and life chances came about in no small part because affected families mobilized for change but also because the Kennedy family made mental retardation its single great cause. Long a generous benefactor of MR-related organizations, Joseph P. Kennedy made MR the special charitable interest of the family foundation he set up in the 1950s. Although he gave all of his children official roles, he involved his daughter Eunice in performing its actual work--identifying appropriate recipients of awards and organizing the foundation's activities. With unique access to family and foundation papers, Shorter brings to light the Kennedy family's strong commitment to public service, showing that Rose and Joe taught their children by precept and example that their wealth and status obligated them to perform good works. Their parents expected each of them to apply their considerable energies to making a difference. Eunice Kennedy Shriver took up that charge and focused her organizational and rhetorical talents on putting MR on the federal policy agenda. As a sister of the President of the United States, she had access to the most powerful people in the country and drew their attention to the desperate situation of families affected by mental retardation. Her efforts made an enormous difference, resulting in unprecedented public attention to MR and new approaches to coordinating medical and social services. Along with her husband, R. Sargent Shriver, she made the Special Olympics a international, annual event in order to encourage people with mental retardation to develop their skills and discover the joy of achievement. She emerges from these pages as a remarkable and dedicated advocate for people with developmental disabilities. Shorter's account of mental retardation presents an unfamiliar view of the Kennedy family and adds a significant chapter to the history of disability in this country. Author note: Edward Shorter is a Professor at the University of Toronto where he holds the Hannah Chair in the History of Medicine. He is the author of A History of Psychiatry from the Era of the Asylum to the Age of Prozac, as well as many other books in the fields of history and medicine.

Download or read book The State of the Language written by Christopher Ricks and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-06-21 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sprawling, uncoordinated, uneven, noisy, and appealing," wrote one reviewer of the first edition of this book, published on 1 January 1980. "The language is in rude health," wrote another. Exactly a decade later, here is the book anew, with the same editors but with fifty fresh contributors writing essays and poems that engage our language today. Imaginative attention is bestowed on the changes of recent years, changes not only in the language but in how language is understood. In the forefront are the relations between British English, American English, and those other Englishes with which they compete or cooperate. The nervous negotiations of gender and feminism. The darkness of AIDS. The bright flicker of the computer. The old smolderings of "standard English" and correctness. The "bad language" that has lately done so well in our society. How all this has been politicized—or is it rather that its inevitably political nature has only now been recognized? Here these and many other facets of the language catch the various light. What has changed is understood in relation to what has not changed, and what has been gained in relation to what has been lost. There is sweep as well as detail, telescope as well as microscope, in this contemplation of the world of our language as it enters the world of the 1990s. The State of the Language has been prepared in cooperation with the English-Speaking Union of San Francisco.

Download or read book Sound of Battle written by Alan O'Reilly and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young Bill Harris of North Staffordshire, England, knows what his civic duties are when news of World War II breaks. He soon enlists in the British Army and joins the new Parachute Regiment. As he serves in the campaign in North Africa and the Sicilian invasion, Bill's faith in God is tested in ways he never imagined. As his resilience strengthens, he must keep his heart open to God's plan. In the wake of the Normandy invasion, Bill's regiment parachutes into Arnhem, Holland. After several days of fighting, the occupying forces in the Dutch town march the surviving paratroopers into a prisoner-of-war camp. Bill's girlfriend, Anne Linton, seems to spend every minute of her life praying. On top of the rigors of being a nursing student, she must train while enduring the added pressures of an envious teacher, battle-wounded soldiers, and Nazi bombings. When Anne learns of Bill's capture and sees the tragedies that transpired within a concentration camp's walls, the events overwhelm her spirit. Trusting that God has a plan in the midst of war, even during the darkest battles, is the only hope that the two have when they no longer have each other.
Download or read book The Buddha and the Borderline written by Kiera Van Gelder and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kiera Van Gelder's first suicide attempt at the age of twelve marked the onset of her struggles with drug addiction, depression, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and chaotic romantic relationships-all of which eventually led to doctors' belated diagnosis of borderline personality disorder twenty years later. The Buddha and the Borderline is a window into this mysterious and debilitating condition, an unblinking portrayal of one woman's fight against the emotional devastation of borderline personality disorder. This haunting, intimate memoir chronicles both the devastating period that led to Kiera's eventual diagnosis and her inspirational recovery through therapy, Buddhist spirituality, and a few online dates gone wrong. Kiera's story sheds light on the private struggle to transform suffering into compassion for herself and others, and is essential reading for all seeking to understand what it truly means to recover and reclaim the desire to live.
Download or read book Radical Sisters written by Anne M. Valk and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radical Sisters offers a fresh exploration of the ways that 1960s political movements shaped local, grassroots feminism in Washington, D.C. Rejecting notions of a universal sisterhood, Anne M. Valk argues that activists periodically worked to bridge differences for the sake of alleviating women's plight, even while maintaining distinct political bases. While most historiography on the subject tends to portray the feminist movement as deeply divided over issues of race, Valk presents a more nuanced account, showing feminists of various backgrounds both coming together to promote a notion of "sisterhood" and being deeply divided along the lines of class, race, and sexuality.
