Product Description
Mental health problems among asylum seekers and refugees are becoming a public issue, but awareness of this problem among the mental health community is relatively low. Although advances have been made in the provision of innovative mental health services for asylum seekers and refuges with PTSD, they are not systemized, and not widely known to professionals in the field. A publication offering practical guidelines for the treatment of torture victims and political refugees does not exist. Broken Spirits aims to bring together the works of the most respected mental health professionals - from the U.S. and abroad - and make available the most current knowledge on complex PTSD, forced migration and cultural sensitivity in diagnosis and treatment. ...

Product Description

All the Tsar's Men examines how institutional reforms designed to prepare the Imperial Russian Army for the modern battlefield failed to prevent devastating defeats in both the 1905 Russo-Japanese War and World War I. John W. Steinberg argues that the General Staff officers who devised new educational and doctrinal reforms had the experience, dedication, and leadership skills to defend the empire in the new age of warfare but were continually impeded by institutionalized inefficiency and rigid control from their superiors. These officers, he explains, were operating within a command structure unwilling to grant them the autonomy necessary to effect significant reform, which proved disastrous for the army and -- ultimately -- the empire.

Old West adventure for Young Adults
Written in Blood
John Wilson
Orca Book Publishers
2010

An Early Reviewer Advanced Reading Copy.
Jim Doolen travels south to Mexico in 1877 in search of his father, or at least, news of his father. Along the way he encounters characters that tell him stories. Eventually the stories connect to his search and he learns more about his missing father and himself.

Written for middle schoolers and young adults, this 187 page historical novel is full of information regarding Mexico, Apaches, and the Old West. The characters are a little flat and lack subtlety. The few action scenes are very exciting and hold the reader's interest.

I enjoyed the book, even in it's simplicity and I would recommend it for young adult readers who need a high interest/low difficulty novel and enjoy adventure stories.

An added plus is the usage of Spanish and Apache words in the novel.

3 stars. ... Read more

Judging the book by the cover
This is a fine book for what it is, which is a history written in the 19th century. But look at the cover- doesn't it look fairly modern? If you buy this book expecting history into the 20th century, you will obviously be disappointed.

History in the Gibbons Style
Written in the 1820's, the language is very much in the style of Edward Gibbon (Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire):a flowing narrative, sometimes a bit florid, with definite points of view.You will not doubt whom the author considers a good guy and whom a bad guy.

Historiography has changed much in 120 years.You will not find the details (much less the footnotes) you would expect in a modern account.On the other hand, the author covers 2000 years in only 350 pages, so there is little room for them.

All in all, a pleasant read. ... Read more

Product Description
The Mediterranean island of Corsica, today a territory of France, has been governed by the ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Moors, as well as by the city-states of Pisa and Genoa. Unique and little-known, Corsican cuisine draws on French, Italian, Spanish, and North African influences while remaining fiercely distinct. Savory game dishes, pastas with rich sauces, and thick, hearty soups are characterized by the aromatic herbs that grow wild and abundant in the famed Corsican moquis (untended fields) and by the traditional cheese brocciu made from the milk of goats that graze there. Basic cooking techniques pair with fresh ingredients to create richly flavoured yet simple and satisfying fare. Alongside mouth-watering sweets like chestnut beignets and sweet cheese-filled turnovers, "Corsican Cuisine" also showcases traditional staples like garlic soup, ragout of game hen with myrtle, and wild boar meatballs with roasted red peppers. With exquisite attention to the combinations of herbs and spices that flavour each dish and a deep respect for the Corsican culture, Arthur Meyer provides an invaluable resource for the unique and flavourful cuisine of Corsica.It includes: 100 authentic and easy-to-follow Corsican recipes; 16-page colour photo insert; and, glossary of Corsican foods and culinary terms. ...
