Navigating Human Services Organizations
"It has been 17 years since the first edition of Navigating Human Service Organizations (Navigating) was published-and about twenty years since the Margaret Gibelman began working on a unique and engaging textbook that has been used in many dozens of classrooms. I did not participate in the initial writing of the book, I joined the project later. Yet shorty after it was released, I reviewed it for possible adoption for a practice class, so can semi-dispassionately reflect upon the initial notes I made about the latest book of the director of the doctoral program from which I graduated"--

Die altarabische Gottheit al-Lāt
Die Göttin al-Lat war die zentrale Hauptgottheit der Araber vor dem Islam. Sie galt zusammen mit der Göttin al-cUzza für die Anhänger Muhammads als Inbegriff des vom Propheten bekämpften Heidentums. Als derart herausragende Gestalt hat sie auch Eingang in den Koran gefunden, wo sie im Zusammenhang mit den jüngst vieldiskutierten «satanischen Versen» erwähnt wird. In der vorliegenden Studie wird erstmalig in monographischer Form alles Material zusammengetragen und kritisch interpretiert, das geeignet ist, Verbreitung, Entstehung, Wesen, Kult und ikonographische Erscheinungsformen der «Göttin der Araber» aufzuklären. Der Kreis des einzubeziehenden Quellenmaterials reicht von den Nachrichten der arabischen Schriftsteller und der altarabischen Poesie über frühnordarabische Inschriften bis zu archäologischen Belegen und altorientalischen Quellen. Die Einordnung aller Belege in den religionshistorischen Gesamthorizont ermöglicht eine neue Sicht der religiösen Verhältnisse im Arabien des 5. und 6. Jh. n. Chr., wirft aber auch Licht auf die historische Entwicklung der altarabischen Götterwelt allgemein.
Health Care Social Work
Health Care Social Work aims to directly empower health care social workers around the world by providing valuable new information about the breadth and depth of the profession's health care contributions, legislative and policy influences upon practice, and implications for future practice and growth in different nations. Written by scholars and practitioners of health care social work from around the world, chapters encourage comparative analysis of distant health care social work practice as a means of supporting meaningful change on a local level and contributing to public health in a way that transcends boundaries and makes a difference globally. Readers will gain an opportunity to examine their assumptions about health care social work practice and reflect meaningfully upon less familiar techniques and approaches as a way of prompting problem-solving with an expanded frame of reference.
The Mayor of Shantytown
Father James R. Cox became the voice of Pittsburgh's poor and jobless during the worst years of the Great Depression. Long lines of needy people were showing up daily at St. Patrick's Church in the city's historic Strip District but Cox turned no one away. He served more than two million meals to the hungry and was the "mayor" of a shantytown of homeless men. In 1932, Cox led one of the first mass marches on Washington, D.C., confronting President Herbert Hoover in a face-to-face White House meeting. He later ran for president himself on the Jobless Party ticket--a quixotic campaign that ended in the deserts of New Mexico. Father Cox's reputation as a humanitarian was ruined after he barely escaped a mail fraud conviction for running a rigged fundraising contest.
