Letters of Life
On March 27, 2003, Michael Collins Chaput set out from his retirement home in Sedona, AZ for a mid day hike. It was on that beautiful afternoon that he suddenly and without warning left this world, leaving behind a loving wife and five grown daughters. Months after his untimely death, a collection of letters written by him was found. The majority of the letters were sent to his mother, whom he referred to as Maude, and span the years of 1988 to 1994. These letters detail his life in a small Iowa town, working as an anesthesiologist, and raising a family together with his wife. These letters and others, including one entitled Letters of Life which he wrote as a legacy to his daughters, make up the text of this book. They were discovered and believed to be a gift for the loved ones he left behind.

My mom and I looked at each other. For her, time stood still for a second as our entire future as a family shifted. But I had no clue what the diagnosis meant. So I said the first thing that came to mind. “Can I still play hockey?” As a kid, when Max Domi was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he only ever had one answer: a hockey player. Growing up the son of a professional hockey player, Max saw from an early age what it took to make the NHL:...
Kenya
Kenya has been the object of much controversy among students of African politics. Some view it as one of the greatest "successes" of the post-independence period; others see it as an example of all that is wrong with African development. Henry Bienen approaches this controversy by asking whether the concept of political participation has been properly understood in the African context. His case study of political participation in Kenya discusses administration, party politics, ethnicity, and class. He suggests that in a system dominated by elites, individuals and groups exert influence primarily through patron-client networks and local administrative and party organs. Local politics is the m...

Civil War Medal of Honor Recipients
In November 1861, Lieutenant Colonel Edward Townsend, adjutant general of the Army, sought to establish an award to motivate and inspire Northern soldiers in the aftermath of the early, morale-devastating defeats of the Civil War. The outcome of Townsend's brainstorm was the Medal of Honor. This reference book offers information about all recipients of the Civil War Medal of Honor, with details of their acts of heroism. The work then organizes recipients by a variety of criteria including branch of service; regiment or naval ship assignment; place of action; act of heroism; state or country of nativity; age of recipient; and date of issuance. Also included is information about the first winners of the medal, the first recipients of multiple medals, posthumously awarded medals and civilian recipients.
