James Willard Schultz

Beschreibung

This book brings us the story of George Crosby, the Lone Boy Scout. George Crosby was born and has lived all of his seventeen years, in Greer, a settlement of a half-dozen pioneer families located on the Little Colorado River, in the White Mountains, Arizona. At the beginning of the Great War Geroge considered what he could do for the good cause. During the summer of 1918, the Supervisor of the Apache National Forest found himself woefully short of men, with the dreaded fire season coming on. Most of his rangers, fire lookouts, and patrols had gone to the war, and he could not find enough men of the right sort to take their place so George Crosby became a member of a troop of the Phoenix Boy Scouts of America.

Democratic Citizenship: A Continuous Approach to Proportionality in Political ParticipationIntroduction 
Democratic citizenship is a fundamental concept that underpins the functioning of democratic societies. It encompasses the rights, responsibilities, and active participation of individuals in political and civic life. One of the critical aspects of democratic citizenship is ensuring proportionality in political participation, which means that all segments of society have an equal opportunity to engage in the political process. This continuous approach to proportionality is essential for maintaining a healthy, inclusive, and representative democracy.The Importance of Proportionality in Political Participation 
Proportionality in political participation ensures that diverse voices and perspectives are heard and represented in the decision-making process. This inclusivity is vital for several reasons:Legitimacy and Trust:When political participation is proportional, the decisions made by elected officials are more likely to reflect the will of the people. This enhances the legitimacy of the government and fosters trust among citizens.Social Cohesion:Proportional political participation helps to bridge social divides by giving marginalized and minority groups a platform to express their concerns and contribute to policy-making. This can lead to greater social cohesion and reduced conflict.Innovation and Problem-Solving:Diverse participation brings a range of perspectives and ideas to the table, which can lead to more innovative solutions to societal problems.Challenges to Proportional Political Participation

The Great Upheaval - Higher...

Scott J. Van Pelt, Arthur Levine

In The Great Upheaval, Arthur Levine and Scott Van Pelt examine higher and postsecondary education to see how it has changed to become what it is today—and how it might be refitted for an uncertain future. 
 
 
 
Taking a unique historical, cross-industry perspective, Levine and Van Pelt perform a 360-degree survey of American higher education. Combining historical, trend, and comparative analysis of other business sectors, they ask 
 
 
 
● how much will colleges and universities change, what will change, and how will these changes occur? 
 
 
 
● will institutions of higher learning be able to adapt to the challenges they face, or will they be disrupted by them? 
 
 
 
● will the industrial model of higher education be repaired or replaced? 
 
 
 
● why is higher education more important than ever? 
 
 
 
The book is neither an attempt to advocate for a particular future direction nor a warning about that future. Rather, it looks objectively at the contexts in which higher education has operated—and will continue to operate. It also seeks to identify likely developments that will aid those involved in steering higher education forward, as well as the many millions of Americans who have a stake in its future.

Freedom from Health Anxiety -...

PhD Karen Lynn Cassiday, PsyD...

Are you constantly worrying about your health, or the health of a loved one? Do you frequently check yourself for lumps, bumps, tingling, or pain? Do you find yourself endlessly looking up symptoms on the internet? Perhaps you find yourself asking others for reassurance or validation that you’re okay, obsessing over health scares in the media, or monitoring your blood pressure on an hourly basis? No matter how your health anxiety manifests, it can be a crippling psychological burden. Endlessly ruminating about illness and death can affect all aspects of life—at home, work, school, as well as the doctor’s office. 
 
 
 
In Freedom from Health Anxiety, nationally recognized anxiety expert Karen Lynn Cassiday teaches you skills to conquer health anxiety, once and for all. You'll learn to switch from focusing on worst-case scenarios to appreciating the joy of the present moment—regardless of  health status. Using a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and the author's "learned inhibition" model, you'll finally acquire the tools you need to take charge of your fear and break the cycle of stressing over your—or your loved one's—well-being. You'll also learn effective methods for tolerating health uncertainty, getting in touch with your body's cues, and rediscovering the pleasure of the present.

Darkest Christmas - December...

Peter Harmsen

December 1942 saw the bloodiest Christmas in the history of mankind. Men were killing each other in greater numbers than ever before. The Holocaust continued, and innocent civilians were murdered by the thousands throughout the evil Nazi empire, even as the perpetrators celebrated the birth of Christ. 
 
 
 
Millions stationed in far-off lands amid the greatest conflict in human history feared this was their last Christmas in freedom, or their last Christmas alive. At the same time as the slaughter continued unabated, throughout the world there were random acts of kindness. These gestures also straddled religious barriers and sometimes included those of non-Christian faiths. 
 
 
 
At the same time, Christmas 1942 saw the injunction of "good will to man" distorted in ugly and callous ways. In Berlin, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels spent time with his family while still buried in feverish fantasies about the Jewish world conspiracy. 
 
 
 
Christmas 1942 saw the entire range of man's conduct towards his fellow man, reflecting the extremes of behavior, good and bad, that World War II gave rise to. The way the holiday was marked around the world tells a deeper, more universal story of the human condition.

All to Play For - The Advance of...

Michael Ashcroft

A Waterstones Best Politics Book of the Year 2023
All to Play For, the anticipated follow-up edition to Going for Broke: The Rise of Rishi Sunak
★★★★✰  –Daily Telegraph
"The overarching theme of Lord Ashcroft's revised and updated biography of Rishi Sunak is a portrayal of a politician trying to do the right thing."– George Parker, The House
"The family history of both Sunak and his in-laws is fascinating and frequently quite moving." – Times Literary Supplement
"Ashcroft has dug up a great deal of detail." – Eastern Eye
PRAISE FOR GOING FOR BROKE
"The fullest account yet written of Sunak the rising star." – Andrew Gimson, ConservativeHome
"Clearly written, lively and perceptive, and contains much insight on the complex world of Tory politics." – Vernon Bogdanor, Prospect Magazine
***
The speed of Rishi Sunak's advance to 10 Downing Street is without precedent in modern British politics. In mid-2019, he was an unknown junior minister; seven months later, he became Chancellor of the Exchequer; and by October 2022, he had secured the highest office in the land. Aged forty-two, he was Britain's youngest Prime Minister in more than 200 years.
Michael Ashcroft's biography – first published in 2020 and now fully revised and updated – charts Sunak's ascent to the University of Oxford, the City of London, Silicon Valley and Westminster before assuming the most powerful job in the country in chaotic circumstances.
It is the story of a clever and hard-working son of immigrant parents who marries an heiress and makes a fortune of his own; a polished southerner who wins over the voters of North Yorkshire; a fiscal conservative who becomes the biggest-spending Chancellor in history; and a fastidious political operator tasked with reuniting the Conservative Party and repairing an economy in flux.
Casting new light on Sunak's tense working relationship with his predecessor, Boris Johnson, All to Play For shows what makes him tick ahead of a general election whose outcome will have profound consequences for Britain.
