German
Thousands of years ago, seafront clans in Denmark began speaking the earliest form of Germanic language--the first of six "signal events" that Ruth Sanders highlights in this marvelous history of the German language. Blending linguistic, anthropological, and historical research, Sanders presents a brilliant biography of the language as it evolved across the millennia. She sheds light on the influence of such events as the bloody three-day Battle of Kalkriese, which permanently halted the incursion of both the Romans and the Latin language into northern Europe, and the publication of Martin Luther's German Bible translation, a "People's" Bible which in effect forged from a dozen spoken dialec...

Empowering Decision-Making in Midwifery
Decision-making pervades all aspects of midwifery practice across the world. Midwifery is informed by a number of decision-making theories, but it is sometimes difficult to marry these theories with practice.

The first part critically reviews decision-making theories, including the Enhancing Decision-making Assessment in Midwifery (EDAM) tool, and their relevance to midwifery. It explores the links between midwifery governance, including professional regulation and the law, risk and safety and decision-making as well as how critical thinki...
Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
This study identifies and analyzes the historical forces and factors responsible for the present situation in Liberia, and the role of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in resolving the conflict. It is anchored in two fundamental perspectives: (a) the present crisis in Liberia can be traced to the historical conditions at the time of the country's founding and the patterns of leadership that existed in the country; (b) the regional collective security dimension of the conflict in Liberia within which the peacemaking and peacekeeping operations and the overall management of the conflict should be studied and evaluated. This dissertation argues that the crisis today is the...

Housing the Environmental Imagination
The last few decades have seen an explosion of interest in literature and the sense of place. Many essays, books and presentations have explored the aesthetics, politics, and urgency of understanding and appreciating the unique qualities of coasts, mountains, deserts, bioregions, and more. Little attention, however, has been given to the process of establishing residence in these special places and what it means to make a life there. Housing the Environmental Imagination focuses directly on this omission by examining the writing, houses, and lives of Thoreau, Robinson Jeffers, Gary Snyder, Wendell Berry, Scott Russell Sanders, Arne Naess, Mary Austin, Jack London, and many others. In additio...
