Sinossi

Relief Spending Rises examines the surge in U.S. federal relief spending during the Great Depression, particularly up to 1935, offering a crucial perspective on the New Deal era and its implications for modern U.S. fiscal policy. The book meticulously analyzes congressional budget records to quantify this unprecedented fiscal expansion.

 
One intriguing insight is how the Hoover administration's initial, limited interventions inadvertently paved the way for Roosevelt's more expansive social safety nets. Understanding this transition illuminates current debates about government intervention in economic crises and the role of federal aid.

 
The book adopts a balanced quantitative and qualitative approach, dissecting specific expenditure categories and tracing the growth of programs like FERA and PWA across chapters. It explores the evolving political ideologies that shaped the New Deal, contrasting conservative laissez-faire approaches with interventionist stances.

 
By analyzing digitized budget records alongside congressional debates and contemporary accounts, Relief Spending Rises argues that the dramatic increase in federal relief spending fundamentally reshaped the relationship between the government and its citizens, establishing a precedent for ongoing federal responsibility in providing a safety net.

    Cholera was the classic epidemic disease of the nineteenth century, as the plague had been for the fourteenth. Its defeat was a reflection not only of progress in medical knowledge but of enduring changes in American social thought. Rosenberg has focused his study on New York City, the most highly developed center of this new society. Carefully documented, full of descriptive detail, yet written with an urgent sense of the drama of the epidemic years, this narrative is as absorbing for general audiences as it is for the medical historian. In a new Afterword, Rosenberg discusses changes in historical method and concerns since the original publication of The Cholera Years. 
     
    “A major work of interpretation of medical and social thought . . . this volume is also to be commended for its skillful, absorbing presentation of the background and the effects of this dread disease.”—I.B. Cohen, New York Times 
     
    ”The Cholera Years is a masterful analysis of the moral and social interest attached to epidemic disease, providing generally applicable insights into how the connections between social change, changes in knowledge and changes in technical practice may be conceived.”—Steven Shapin, Times Literary Supplement 
     
    ”In a way that is all too rarely done, Rosenberg has skillfully interwoven medical, social, and intellectual history to show how medicine and society interacted and changed during the 19th century. The history of medicine here takes its rightful place in the tapestry of human history.”—John B. Blake, Science

    Academia is not, by and large, a kind place. Individualism and competition are what count. But without kindness at its core, Catherine Denial suggests, higher education fails students and instructors—and its mission—in critical ways. 
     
     
     
    Part manifesto, part teaching memoir, part how-to guide, A Pedagogy of Kindness urges higher education to get aggressive about instituting kindness, which Denial distinguishes from niceness. Having suffered beneath the weight of just "getting along," instructors need to shift every part of what they do to prioritizing care and compassion—for students as well as for themselves. 
     
     
     
    A Pedagogy of Kindness articulates a fresh vision for teaching, one that focuses on ensuring justice, believing people, and believing in people. Offering evidence-based insights and drawing from her own rich experiences as a professor, Denial offers practical tips for reshaping syllabi, assessing student performance, and creating trust and belonging in the classroom. Her suggestions for concrete, scalable actions  outline nothing less than a transformational discipline—one in which, together, we create bright new spaces, rooted in compassion, in which all engaged in teaching and learning might thrive.

    When Abhamani Ajash (Institute for Complementary Therapies) began offering frequency based sound therapy he soon discovered he could use tuning forks to locate disturbances in the human energy field, that surrounded many of his clients. He found these energetic disturbances correlated with the emotional and physical traumas his clients had experienced throughout their lives, the human biofield acting as a record of pain, stress, and trauma from gestation onward.Passing the forks through these areas not only corrected the distorted vibrational sounds he was hearing but also imparted consistent, predictable, and sometimes immediate relief from pain, anxiety, insomnia, migraines, depression, fibromyalgia, digestive disorders, and a host of other complaints. Now, more than 20 years later, Ajash has fully developed his sound healing method, which he calls Sound Balancing, and created 14 unique tracks, bringing back the sense of well-being to your mind, body and spirit. Sounds that ring at just right frequency, to fill you with calm, peace, and intuition.Playing and listening to music that has been tuned to 432 Hz creates a sense of peace and well being as it is the harmonic intonation of nature. Lowering the pitch by just 8 Hz helps to calm the body and mind which in turn makes us more flexible, creative, peaceful and spontaneous; It also helps in the release of negative energy and can easily put us in a wonderful state of calm where relaxation is natural.  It is the scale that unites the body and consciousness with nature.According to Abhamani Ajash, music tuned to 432 Hz is softer and calmer, giving greater clarity and is easier on the ears. Healing music tuned to  432 Hz is relaxing for the body and mind and also more harmonically pleasant than 440 Hz. Many researches have also shown that people feel calmer, happier and  more relaxed when playing and listening at 432 Hz. Music that is tuned to 432 Hz is more friendly for the ears and unites us to the universal harmony and generates positive effects on mind and body.--What our customers say (reviews): ***** This audio book is absolutely phenomenal and is now my favorite for relaxing and falling asleep!

She won't use any other music, just this one. She loves it and so do I. It's awesome for meditation as well as winding down for the evening.
