Synopsis

In 'A Definition of Social Work: A Thesis in Sociology,' Alice S. Cheyney undertakes a rigorous examination of the foundations and evolution of social work as a distinct professional field. Through a meticulous analysis of sociological theories and practices, Cheyney deftly navigates the complexities surrounding social work, elucidating its integral role in addressing societal issues. Her literary style is characterized by clarity and precision, appealing to both academic and general audiences, while her contextual framework encompasses the socio-economic realities of early 20th century America, providing a historical backdrop that enriches the discourse. Alice S. Cheyney, a prominent figure in early sociological thought, was profoundly influenced by the social upheavals of her time, particularly regarding industrialization and urbanization. Her educational background in sociology and her active involvement in social reform movements informed her perspective, offering both theoretical insights and practical applications. Cheyney'Äôs work reflects a commitment to articulating the purpose and ethics of social work, aiming to elevate the profession's status in the academic and public spheres. For readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of social work's conceptual underpinnings, Cheyney's thesis is an invaluable resource. It not only outlines the ethical and practical dimensions of the field but also serves as a catalyst for discussions about social justice and advocacy. This book is essential for students, practitioners, and scholars alike who wish to engage deeply with the discipline.

    Many people who've experienced trauma tend to blame themselves. This tendency to self-blame often begins in childhood and is carried into adulthood and can manifest in a number of emotional and behavioral problems. You've probably tried to quiet your critical inner voice through avoidance and distraction, only to have the negative self-talk return time and time again to sabotage your self-esteem and interfere with your life. Fortunately, you possess the power to forgive yourself and discover your inner strength. 
     
     
     
    With this workbook, you'll learn proven-effective skills that integrate self-forgiveness with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT), functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP), and relational frame theory (RFT). You'll develop the self-compassion and self-acceptance needed to overcome the sense of shame and guilt that's keeping you from a meaningful life. You'll also gain a new perspective on your life's story, empowering you to get in touch with your values and make an ongoing commitment to self-forgiveness. 
     
     
     
    Forgiving yourself does not mean the pain of the past will go away forever, but it can reduce the burden you've placed on yourself. If you're ready to replace self-blame with self-empowerment and self-reliance, this book will be your guide on a journey toward healing and joy.

    Since John Hersey's Hiroshima, very few books have examined the meaning and impact of World War II through the eyes of Japanese men and women who survived that conflict. Tattered Kimonos in Japan does just that: It is an intimate journey into contemporary Japan from the perspective of the generation of Japanese soldiers and civilians who survived World War II, by a writer whose American father and Japanese father-in-law fought on opposite sides of the conflict. 
     
     
     
    Mindful of the power of victimhood, memory, and shared suffering, he travels across Japan, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki, meeting a compelling group of men and women whose lives, even now, are defined by the trauma of war, and by lingering questions of responsibility and repentance for Japan's wartime aggression. 
     
     
     
    The image of a tattered kimono from Hiroshima is the thread that drives the narrative arc of this emotional story about a writer's encounter with history, inside the Japan of his father's generation, on the other side of his father's war. This is a book about history with elements of family memoir. It offers a fresh and truly unique perspective for listeners interested in World War II, Japan, or Judaica; listeners seeking cross-cultural journeys; and listeners intrigued by Japanese culture, particularly the kimono.

    "I served as the principal at the toughest inner-city public school in Compton, California. A school where the Crips and the Bloods fought over turf, and which had suffered a devastating mass shooting with over a dozen injured and killed. Under my watch, we ended gang violence and prevented more mass shootings in school. Here's my recipe to end them nationwide." - Edward Gilliam 
    As a witness to the tragic events that unfolded at Columbine High School and a former school principal, Edward Gilliam brings a distinctive memoir, Compton Shuffle, that explores the recrudescence of gun violence in American schools. 
    In this narration, Gilliam sheds light on his involvement in the fight to secure American schools and protect his students and those around him. 
    Following the horrific events that left the American people grieving and forced to confront the complicated problem of mass shootings and gang violence, Edward leads readers through a chronicle that is both heartbreaking and inspirational. He does this with a searing remembrance of that day in 1999. 
    Over the course of almost three decades, Gilliam recounts his experiences and observations regarding all the factors that led to the disruption of educational systems. He discusses the various aspects of racism, prejudice, inadequate education, police brutality, and family dissolution that lead to school violence.
