Rosa Kerker's journey is a true account of a young girl's emigration with her family to America in 1866. Her parents and six siblings settled in Chaska, Minnesota, persevering through harsh winters, disease, and the stigma of her sister's suicide. Raised in a strong Catholic family, Rosa was drawn to the convent at a young age. This is a novel of historical fiction and is inspired by Rosa's quest to find fulfillment and happiness in a religious community, despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Rosa's story is a revelation about a woman who learned how important it is to listen to her own voice.
The understanding of global environmental management problems is best achieved through transdisciplinary research lenses that combine scientific and other sector (industry, government, etc.) tools and perspectives. However, developing effective research teams that cross such boundaries is difficult. This book demonstrates the importance of transdisciplinarity, describes challenges to such teamwork, and provides solutions for overcoming these challenges. It includes case studies of transdisciplinary teamwork, showing how these solutions have helped groups to develop better understandings of environmental problems and potential responses.
This book is the first biography of nineteenth-century magazine editor and reformer Charlotte Smith. Based on years of research, and previously untapped sources, it shows both why she should be remembered and why she was forgotten. Her story is quintessentially American: this daughter of Irish immigrants, despite having only a grade-school education and supporting two children alone, became a force to be reckoned with, first in journalism and then in reform. Her first periodical, the Inland Monthly, was doubly rare: edited by a woman but not a women's magazine; and a profitable venture, bringing a large sum when sold.
