Foster Children - Supporting...

Stacey Wilmore

Foster children are among the most resilient yet vulnerable members of our society. Their experiences often include trauma, instability, and emotional wounds that shape their sense of self and their ability to navigate the world. Transitional homes, which provide temporary care and support between placements or as a bridge to independent living, are critical in their journey toward healing. These homes offer not just a roof over their heads, but the chance to rebuild trust, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
However, the needs of foster children are complex and require specialized care. These children may have faced neglect, abuse, or upheaval, and as a result, their emotional and psychological healing requires patience, empathy, and understanding. The trauma they have experienced can manifest in many ways, from attachment issues to difficulties in socializing and managing emotions. Supporting foster children in these transitional spaces means addressing these deep-rooted issues while fostering a nurturing environment where they can heal and grow.
This book is designed to provide guidance for those who are working with foster children in transitional homes. Whether you are a caregiver, social worker, educator, or mental health professional, you play a pivotal role in these children’s lives. It offers insights into how to create a safe, stable, and supportive environment that allows children to feel seen, heard, and valued. The key is not simply to care for these children in the traditional sense, but to understand their unique needs and meet them with compassion and dedication.

Zeppelins of World War I The:...

Editors Charles River

While airplanes had never before appeared above the field of war, other aerial vehicles had already been in use for decades, and balloons had carried soldiers above the landscape for centuries to provide a high observation point superior to most geological features. The French used a balloon for this purpose at the Battle of Fleurus in 1794, and by the American Civil War, military hydrogen balloons saw frequent use, filled from wagons generating hydrogen from iron filings and sulfuric acid.
In fact, with advances in dirigible technology, many military thinkers and even aeronautical enthusiasts believed that blimps would remain the chief military aerial asset for the foreseeable future. These men thought airplanes would play a secondary role at best and might even prove a uselessly expensive gimmick soon to fade back into obscurity, leaving the majestic bulk of the dirigible as sole master of the skies.
The Zeppelins, slow and large as they were, proved to be easy targets for fire from the ground, so they were too vulnerable for reconnaissance in the warzone. Instead, they were used for the task of bombing targets. Bombs were dropped on Paris in August 1914, and Zeppelins bombed Belgian forces as the Germans advanced on Liège. The Germans also used them to bomb England’s eastern ports and London in an attempt to disrupt military supplies. On the other side, British pilots destroyed a Zeppelin on the ground at Düsseldorf.
This was bombing at its simplest; the explosives were kept on hooks on the side of the machines and dropped by a crew member by hand. These small forays into aerial bombardment barely even hinted at the bombing campaigns to come, but Zeppelin raids on Britain would continue for nearly four years, killing more than 500 people and injuring 1,300. These raids and the attempts to stop them would be carried out at the cutting edge of new technology.

Florida's Space Coast - The...

William B. Faherty

Florida's Space Coast tells the compelling story of America's half century in space exploration from the successful launch of the first two-stage rocket in 1950 through the space shuttle missions of 2000. Told from the unique viewpoint of the people who built the Spaceport, this book shows how the space program transformed the east central Florida coast from a traditional citrus production and tourist area to one of the most influential high-tech centers in the nation. 
 
 
 
Cape Canaveral was chosen as a missile launch site because of its many geographical advantages. However, in the early years of the space program, the area was far from an ideal place for NASA employees to raise their families. NASA brought in thousands of space-related workers, who, besides sending machines and people into space, had to meet the challenge of moving their families from urban environs to a rural southern county. This book engagingly recounts the parallel stories of the establishment of America's space program and its impact on the development of Brevard County.
