Victims
Three pipe bombs exploded in Salt Lake County in 1985, killing two people. Behind the murders lay a vast forgery scheme aimed at dozens of other victims, most prominently the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mark Hofmann, a master forger, went to prison for the murders. He had bilked the church, document dealers, and collectors of hundreds of thousands of dollars over several years while attempting to alter Mormon history. Other false documents of Americana still circulate. The crimes garnered intense media interest, spawning books, TV and radio programs, and myriad newspaper and magazine articles. Victims is a thoughtful corrective to the more sensationalized accounts. More impo...
An Introduction to Group Work Skill
First Published in 1973, An Introduction to Group Work Skill is designed to make the understanding of group work skills accessible to all- mothers, teachers, employers, as well as professional social workers. Dr Milson argues that this lengthy and imaginative excursion has been thought necessary as we are here concerned with the behaviour of people in groups which meet fairly regularly, which are small enough to provide opportunities for every member to know every other member as a person, and where there is a goal to be achieved which calls for a contribution from each. The author further argues that group work skill is composed of observation, interpretation, and action, and he proceeds to analyze each of these elements in successive chapters. This is an interesting read for students of sociology of work and social work.
Penelope Hall's Social Services of England and Wales
This is Volume VI of eighteen in a series on Public Policy, Welfare and Social Work. Originally published in 1969, this study is a revision of Penelope Hall's book (1952) from the Social Science Department at the University of Liverpool, deemed necessary to reflect changes like the creation of the Ministry of Social Security in 1966 and the White Paper on the Child, the Family and the Young Offender, which made it impossible to discuss services for the care of children without consideration of penal services for juveniles.
The Zabriskie Family
Albert Zaborowskij (d.1711), of German or Polish ancestry, emigrated in 1662 from The Netherlands to New Amsterdam, New York, and married Machtelt Vanderlinde in 1677. They later moved to Pemmerpogh (later Bayonne), New Jersey. Descendants (chiefly spelling the surname Zabriskie) and relatives lived in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, Calif0ornia and elsewhere. Some descendants became Mormons, and lived in Utah, Idaho, Arizona, California and elsewhere.
Casework in Context
Casework in Context: A Basis for Practice discusses the methodologies and techniques utilized in social case studies. The book also covers the specific applications of caseworks, along with some issues that can be encountered while in the practice. The text first details the social work and society, as well as the development of social work conceptualization. Next, the book tackles topics related to interviewing, such as client needs and worker response; treatment goals, methods, and plans; and case work process. The next part of the text deals with the differential uses of casework. The last part covers topics about the activities of a social worker outside an interview. The book will be of great use to researchers and practitioners in disciplines that involve research studies in a social setting, such as psychology, sociology, and anthropology.
London’s Working-Class Youth and the Making of Post-Victorian Britain, 1958–1971
This book examines the emergence of modern working-class youth culture through the perspective of an urban history of post-war Britain, with a particular focus on the influence of young people and their culture on Britain’s self-image as a country emerging from the constraints of its post-Victorian, imperial past. Each section of the book – Society, City, Pop, and Space – considers in detail the ways in which working-class youth culture corresponded with a fast-changing metropolitan and urban society in the years following the decline of the British Empire. Was teenage culture rooted in the urban experience and the transformation of working-class neighbourhoods? Did youth subcultures emerge simply as a reaction to Britain's changing racial demographic? To what extent did leisure venues and institutions function as laboratories for a developing British pop culture, which ultimately helped Britain re-establish its prominence on the world stage? These questions and more are answered in this book.

By 1646 he was back in New Amsterdam, where he married twice, and was known as Gerrit Hendricksen de blau boer (probably referring to his farm land).
