In The Heart of Central New York: Stories of Historic Homer, NY Martin A. Sweeney makes the past come alive through this collection of articles from his column in The Homer News. Through his writing, Sweeney offers readers a glimpse of the excitement he brought to his classrooms by bringing to life the people, events, manners, and mores of the past in a community that is the heart of Central New York State. This compilation represents Sweeney’s successful efforts as a public historian in using the press as a tool for generating interest in his community’s unique historical identity.With annotations and a touch of humor, this book illustrates for current and emerging public historians how to successfully engage a community in acknowledging their history matters—that the fibers of “microhistory” contribute to the rich tapestry that is county, regional, state, and national history.
I've always been fascinated with the fashion models, chorus girls, and pinup queens of the 1950s. When they weren't wearing designer brands at storefronts or posing for centerfolds in magazines, they appeared in movies -by the hundreds I'd add- at studios like Metro Goldwyn-Mayer and 20th Century-Fox. They were attractive and talented but didn't achieve the degree of fame the stars did, and thus faded into obscurity. The readers will see that 'Glamour: Models, Mannequins, and Pinups of the 1950s' profiles 105 models from an era when the profession was revered, sought, and lucrative. There are some like Carol Ohmart and Jean Moorhead who had periods of fame and others like Virginia Bates, Honey King, and Hazel Shaw who were forgotten. I've included some wonderful photographs that accompany these models, as well as input from the models themselves and/or their families. 'Glamour: Models, Mannequins, and Pinups of the 1950s' isn't merely a book, but rather a dedication to the gorgeous women who endured hardship and heartache to achieve stardom.
The demographic shift to a much older population is having a large impact on social work professionals who have traditionally been the primary caretakers of the elderly. As more people are living into advanced old age, it is becoming increasingly important to understand and treat the wide range of psychological disorders which may affect them, rather than simply attributing the disorders to senescence as was frequently done in the past. Mental Health and the Elderly: A Social Work Perspective is a comprehensive guide to diagnosis and treatment of the range of disorders affecting the elderly.
Massing confronts the failure of the "war on drugs" and documents the much greater potential for reclaiming drug addicts that can be had by treatment and support rather than criminalization, and at a lower cost than building ever more prisons and militarizing drug source countries in Latin America.
