Book excerpt: Time Revisited chronicles the life of a spirited and determined woman as she travels through all the ups and downs of life. Her first memory, from about the age of three, is of sitting at the kitchen table watching her family pack their things to move from their farm to their new home in Ashville, Pennsylvania. It seemed destined] that her childhood would be one of constant moves after her father's death, following a trail of her mother's business ventures. Most of her mother's business attempts failed, and the sheriff often was on their trail. Despite adversity and obstacles, Dorothy Jane Staples grew up, modeled, developed a business career of her own, married, had a family, and led a successful display business in Philadelphia. Now retired, she continues to live a full and enjoyable life. Time Revisited, four years in the making, shares her memories of both difficult and happy times with humor and candor, providing a legacy for current and future generations of her family.

Download or read book Wanton Troopers written by Ian F. W. Beckett and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The causes of the three English Civil Wars (1642 to 1645, 1648, and 1651) are complex and controversial clashes of conviction, belief, and personality, and a struggle between opposing social groups and economic interests. But, whatever the focus of scholarship, many answers can be sought at the local level, among county communities that were far more outward-looking than once suggested. That is why Ian Becketts in-depth study of Buckinghamshire, one of the pivotal counties during this turbulent period in British history, is of such value. None of the best-known battles or sieges took place in Buckinghamshire, but there was destructive combat in the county on a smaller scale because its location placed it on the front line between the opposing forces between the royalist headquarters at Oxford and the parliamentarian stronghold of London. As Ian Beckett shows, the impact of war on Bucks was considerable. His analysis gives us an insight into the experience of local communities and the county as a whole and it reveals much about the experience of the conflict across the country.

Download or read book Crime Control and Community written by Gordon Hughes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community-based crime control has become one of the principal policy responses to crime and disorder across western societies, and is regarded now as one of the keys to successful crime prevention and reduction. The aim of this book is to bring together findings from case studies of community-based crime control in England as a means of examining the prospects for this approach, its evolving relationship with criminal justice and social policies, and to assess the lessons internationally that can be drawn from this in the theory, research methods, politics and practice of crime control. At the same time the book advances an important new conceptual framework for understanding community-based crime control, focusing on an understanding of the diversity of control and preventative strategies, the locally particular conditions in which they are conducted, and the degree of choices open to local political actors involved in their conduct. Understanding diversity in this way is central to drawing lessons about the transferability of crime control theory and practice from one social context to another, avoiding the naïve emulation of practices in different contexts.
