Book excerpt: Excerpt from Talvi's History of the Colonization of America, Vol. 1 of 2 That part of American history which I here present to my countrymen has not as yet been given by any German sufficiently in detail. Edeling is, so far as I know, the only German who has attempted it. But in his time many of the principal sources of information, a knowledge of which alone could impart a just idea of the then existing state of things, had not yet been brought to light; nay, many parts of the history of New England lay buried in complete obscurity; as, for instance, the first periods of the colonization of Providence and Rhode Island. The same might be said of such English historians of America as were accessible in Germany, Neal, Oldmixon, Robertson, &c. I therefore thought, though conscious my powers were inferior to the task, yet aware I was favourably situated with regard to sources of information, that I should be undertaking no useless labour in offering to the world a small portion of the history of a country, which is evidently tending towards a most important part in the great drama of the world. Even in the United States an interest in the history of the fatherland is new. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Colonial Tracts Monthly, Vol. 1 The Compiler of the following Volume having been led by circumstances into an examination somewhat extensive, of the sources of our history, experienced much difficulty in procuring the Pamphlets and smaller Tracts that relate to the Origin, Settlement and Progress of the American Colonies. Of the vast number of publications of this description that were made during the two centuries and a half succeeding the discovery of America, a few only can be found in this country, and these are almost entirely confined to libraries connected with our public institutions: many of them are of great value as authentic historical records, and all are interesting to those who take pleasure in tracing step by step the progress of the Colonies, in population, wealth, and power, within the comparatively short period that intervened between the landing of the first white man upon the Continent, and the establishment of a free and independent Government by the People of the United States of America. These considerations suggested the plan of the Collection now commenced. Of the thirteen Tracts contained in the present volume, Nos. 2 and 10 have not heretofore been printed, and Nos. 8 and 9 now appear for the first time in a connected form: the others, as will be seen by referring to the title pages which are copied at large, are republications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Colonies, Vol. 1 of 2 On the dreariest part of the north coast of Ireland, and at the bottom of a small bay, there is a village inhabited chiefly by fishermen, who also occasionally exercise the trade of smugglers. The adjoining coast is almost perpendicular, and is rendered nearly unapproachable by ranges of black rock, which lie parallel to its outline, and about half a mile from the shore. On these, during high winds, the sea beats with tremendous violence; and at such times, even in the darkest nights, the meteoric gleam of the flashing foam may be distinguished by watchful seamen at a leagues's distance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of America, Vol. 1 of 2: During the Years 1833, 1834, and 1835 I seek to describe its people as I saw them, clear-headed, energetic, frank, and hospitable; a community suited to, and labouring for, their country's advancement, rather than for their own present comfort. This is and will be their lot for probably another generation. To those, then, who seek scandalous innuendos against, or imaginary conversations with, the fair, the brave, and the wise amongst the daughters and sons of America, I say, Read not at all; since herein, though something of mankind, there is little of any man, woman, or child, of the thousands with whom I have reciprocated hospitality and held kind communion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Americans, Vol. 27: The Pleistocene Colonization of the New World Finally, I wish to express my gratitude to three people who were critical to the suc cess of the symposium and to the physical production of this book. Nancy Gee attend ed completely to all the logistics of the symposium, and in doing so relieved me of an immense responsibility. The success of the symposium itself was made possible by her expert efforts in organizing transportation and accommodation for the participants, and in making all the arrangements for the symposium itself. Vivian Young was responsible for the design of the book cover and the chapter format, both of which take their inspi ration from her designs for the symposium brochure and program. It was a joy to work with such a gifted artist. Rachel Wolf, who has acted as my editorial assistant in the pro duction of this book, was responsible for the immense tasks of corresponding with the authors on editorial matters, and formatting and typesetting the book in preparation for publication. The beautiful layout of the text and illustrations, and the punctiliously edit ed text owe everything to her unflagging and good-humored efforts. I hope that you find this book as rich and stimulating to read as I found it to edit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Multicultural Social Work Practice written by Derald Wing Sue and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-10-13 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The groundbreaking new text for culturally competent social work practice In Multicultural Social Work Practice, author Derald Wing Sue, one of the most prominent and respected pioneers in diversity research and practice, explores and synthesizes the important theoretical, political, and philosophical concepts related to cultural competence in the field of social work. This comprehensive yet practical text offers students definitive guidance on culturally sensitive social work practice. This important new work challenges the reader to consider the different worldviews of a highly diversified population, and achieve cultural competence through increased awareness, knowledge, and skills. It provides specific definitions of multiculturalism, cultural competence, and multicultural social work that clearly guide discussion, analysis, and debate. It also highlights the sociopolitical and social justice aspects of effective practice, and closely examines how social work theories, concepts, and practices are often rooted in and reflective of the values of the dominant society. Multicultural Social Work Practice features sections on: * Conceptual dimensions of multicultural social work practice * The political dimensions of social work practice * Racial/cultural identity development--social work implication * The practice dimensions of multicultural social work * Systemic and ecological perspectives of multicultural social work * Profiles in culturally competent care for diverse populations In addition to the aforementioned coverage, this innovative text features unique chapters on barriers to effective practice, cultural styles in intervention strategies, and indigenous healing strategies. It also employs generous clinical and real-life examples to illustrate important concepts. A lively, provocative guidebook that challenges traditional social work practice, and featuring a foreword by Monica McGoldrick, Multicultural Social Work Practice is a benchmark text for students of social work, professional social workers, and others in the helping professions.

Download or read book Contemporary Developments and Perspectives in International Health Security written by Stanislaw P. Stawicki and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International health security (IHS) is a broad and highly heterogeneous area. Within this general context, IHS encompasses subdomains that potentially influence (and more specifically endanger) the well-being and wellness of humans. The general umbrella of IHS includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters, emerging infectious diseases (EID) and pandemics, rapid urbanization, social determinants of health, population growth, systemic racism and discrimination, environmental matters, civilian violence and warfare, various forms of terrorism, misuse of antibiotics, and the misuse of social media. The need for this expanded definition of health security stems from the realization that topics such as EID; food, water, and pharmaceutical supply chain safety; medical and health information cybersecurity; and bioterrorism, although important within the overall realm of health security, are not only able to actively modulate the wellness and health of human populations, but also tend to do so in a synergistic fashion. This inaugural tome of a multi-volume collection, Contemporary Developments and Perspectives in International Health Security, introduces many of the topics directly relevant to modern IHS theory and practice. This first volume provides a solid foundation for future installments of this important and relevant book series.
Download or read book National Museums written by Simon Knell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Museums is the first book to explore the national museum as a cultural institution in a range of contrasting national contexts. Composed of new studies of countries that rarely make a showing in the English-language studies of museums, this book reveals how these national museums have been used to create a sense of national self, place the nation in the arts, deal with the consequences of political change, remake difficult pasts, and confront those issues of nationalism, ethnicity and multiculturalism which have come to the fore in national politics in recent decades. National Museums combines research from both leading and new researchers in the fields of history, museum studies, cultural studies, sociology, history of art, media studies, science and technology studies, and anthropology. It is an interrogation of the origins, purpose, organisation, politics, narratives and philosophies of national museums.
