＜p＞The beautiful Eva da Silva was something of a soul seeker. She wanted to make a difference in the lives of others by showing love. The unexpected appearance of the mysterious and attractive RJ literally on her doorstep did not prepare her for what that would take.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Someone was watching RJ, and a dangerous man wanted him dead. Needless to say, RJ was a complicated man with a complicated life. He had almost died, and the woman who had saved him was going to make it even more complicated. He had serious matters to take care of, and Eva da Silva was a distraction he didn't need; however beautiful and welcome.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Eva had family issues to worry about.

Eva's faith was about to be tested.＜/p＞ ＜p＞RJ's world came with violence, repressed anger, a burdensome guilt, huge responsibilities, and old buried secrets.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Toward a Healthy Society The Morality and Politics of American Health Care Reform【電子書籍】[ Milton Fisk ]

＜p＞Few issues concern the American public today more than health care. Just ask anyone who has sat for hours in an HMO waiting room or made countless phone calls trying to have a claim settledーor anyone who can’t get coverage. But whenever basic reform is proposed the insurance industry opens a massive campaign against it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Health care today is part of big business, which in defeating the Clinton plan successfully pushed any kind of basic reform off the political agenda. Continuing citizen support for some form of public insurance is, says Milton Fisk, a sign that basic reform is still possible. In his book, he argues persuasively that basic reform goes beyond a matter of life and deathーit’s integral to maintaining a society where concern for others holds its own against the market.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Health care, observes Fisk, is not simply an individual responsibility but a public good much like education, and commitment to the social values underlying these public goods is essential to any just society. A healthy society as a value worth pursuing becomes an empty slogan when the poor get inferior health care, when workplaces are dangerous to health, and when a focus on medical treatment leaves out our bodies’ environment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Taking in the broad sweep of social policy in the last half-century, Fisk describes the shift from welfare toward competitiveness as a key factor in the rise of corporate care in the United States. He analyzes the failure of the Clinton health care plan in detail and shows that its commitment to corporate health care was at odds with its reforming intent. He then argues that without national health insurance, needless obstacles will stand in the way of a healthy society. Ideally, the public fund behind this insurance would be derived from a progressive income tax.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Skillfully blending philosophy, economics, and public policy, Fisk’s book breaks new ground in political morality and raises important questions about the way people's needs for health care are being defined to satisfy corporate priorities. At a time when so many Americans can barely afford to get sick, no one concerned with this issue can afford to ignore this work of realism and vision.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】A Peculiar Indifference The Neglected Toll of Violence on Black America【電子書籍】[ Elliott Currie ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A ＜em＞NEW YORK TIMES＜/em＞ NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR＜br /＞ From Pulitzer Prize finalist Elliott Currie comes a devastating exploration of the extreme levels of violence afflicting Black communities, and a blueprint for addressing the crisis＜/strong＞＜br /＞ About 170,000 Black Americans have died in homicides just since the year 2000. Violence takes more years of life from Black men than cancer, stroke, and diabetes combined; a young Black man in the United States has a fifteen times greater chance of dying from violence than his white counterpart. Even Black women suffer violent death at a higher rate than white men, despite homicide's usual gender patterns. Yet while the country has been rightly outraged by the recent spate of police killings of Black Americans, the shocking amount of "everyday" violence that plagues African American communities receives far less attention, and has nearly disappeared as a target of public policy.＜br /＞ As acclaimed criminologist Elliott Currie makes clear, this pervasive violence is a direct result of the continuing social and economic marginalization of many Black communities in America. Those conditions help perpetuate a level of preventable trauma and needless suffering that has no counterpart anywhere in the developed world. Compelling and accessible, drawing on a rich array of both classic and contemporary research, ＜em＞A Peculiar Indifference＜/em＞ describes the dimensions and consequences of this enduring emergency, explains its causes, and offers an urgent plea for long-overdue social action to end it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Our Daily Meds【電子書籍】[ Melody Petersen ]

＜p＞In the last thirty years, the big pharmaceutical companies have transformed themselves into marketing machines selling dangerous medicines as if they were Coca-Cola or Cadillacs. They pitch drugs with video games and soft cuddly toys for children; promote them in churches and subways, at NASCAR races and state fairs. They've become experts at promoting fear of disease, just so they can sell us hope.＜br /＞ No question: drugs can save lives. But the relentless marketing that has enriched corporate executives and sent stock prices soaring has come with a dark side. Prescription pills taken as directed by physicians are estimated to kill one American every five minutes. And that figure doesn't reflect the damage done as the overmedicated take to the roads.＜br /＞ ＜em＞Our Daily Meds＜/em＞ connects the dots for the first time to show how corporate salesmanship has triumphed over science inside the biggest pharmaceutical companies and, in turn, how this promotion driven industry has taken over the practice of medicine and is changing American life.＜br /＞ It is an ageless story of the battle between good and evil, with potentially life-changing consequences for everyone, not just the 65 percent of Americans who unscrew a prescription cap every day. An industry with the promise to help so many is now leaving a legacy of needless harm.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Cracked A Resource for Activists【電子書籍】[ Steven Hawley ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The ugly truth about dams is about to be revealed.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the whole messy truth about the legacy of last century’s big dam building binge has come to light. What started out as an arguably good government project has drifted oceans away from that original virtuous intent. Governments plugged the nation’s rivers in a misguided attempt to turn them into revenue streams. Water control projects’ main legacy will be one of needless ecological destruction, fostering a host of unnecessary injustices.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The estimated 800,000 dams in the world can’t be blamed for destroying the earth’s entire biological inheritance, but they play an outsized role in that destruction. ＜em＞Cracked: The Future of Dams in a Hot, Crazy World＜/em＞ is a kind of speed date with the history of water control -- its dams, diversions and canals, and just as importantly, the politics and power that evolved with them. Examples from the American West reveal that the costs of building and maintaining a sprawling water storage and delivery complex in an arid worldーgrowing increasingly arid under the ravages of climate chaosーis well beyond the benefits furnished. Success stories from Patagonia and the Blue Heart of Europe point to a possible future where rivers run free and the earth restores itself.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Creative Dates The Why, the How, and the Reason for Now【電子書籍】[ BARB BROCK ]

＜p＞This book is my love letter to our increasingly socially disconnected and lonely world. And all because of a minor assignment called a Creative Date given over my 30 years of university teaching. RULES: Make an invitation, travel less than five miles, and spend less than five dollars. ANYONE could be invited - roommates, siblings, significant others, children, grandparents, etc. Most students could not imagine doing anything fun with so little money, panicked at the idea of being creative, and worried about being embarrassed or thought of as a cheapskate. Needless to say, it was intimidating for some. But surprise! The Creative Dates were hilarious and meaningful; without exception,they were memorable. I saved the best of the best over the years and tracked down as many authors as possible (from 1990 to 2013) for inclusion in this book. After all this time, every single former Eastern Washington University recreation student remembered their date and for that I am forever grateful. 1) The Why: Origin story. 2) The How: Five chapters on Invitation, Creativity, Frugality, Connection, and Community. Why taking the time to plan a date is so important. 3) The Reason for Now: Sobering facts about our worldwide epidemic of loneliness as well as the heavy toll borne by too many screens and the predominance of virtual relationships. 4) The Dates: Fifty-five timeless dates listed by author. Though clearly fun and uplifting, these useful ideas will also improve social skills, renounce wasting money, and cleverly inspire face-to-face communication.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Off the Record The Press, the Government, and the War over Anonymous Sources【電子書籍】[ Norman Pearlstine ]

＜p＞When Norman Pearlstineーas editor in chief of Time Inc.ーagreed to give prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald a reporter's notes of a conversation with a "confidential source," he was vilified for betraying the freedom of the press. But in this hard-hitting inside story, Pearlstine shows that "Plamegate" was not the clear case it seemed to beーand that confidentiality has become a weapon in the White House's war on the press, a war fought with the unwitting complicity of the press itself.＜br /＞ Watergate and the publication of the Pentagon Papers are the benchmark incidents of government malfeasance exposed by a fearless press. But as Pearlstine explains with great clarity and brio, the press's hunger for a new Watergate has made reporters vulnerable to officials who use confidentiality to get their message out, even if it means leaking state secrets and breaking the law. Prosecutors appointed to investigate the government have investigated the press instead; news organizations such as ＜em＞The New York Times＜/em＞ have defended the principle of confidentiality at all costsーimplicitly putting themselves above the law. Meanwhile, the use of unnamed sources has become common in everything from celebrity weeklies to the so-called papers of record.＜br /＞ What is to be done? Pearlstine calls on Congress to pass a federal shield law protecting journalists from the needless intrusions of government; at the same time, he calls on the press to name its sources whenever possible. ＜em＞Off the Record＜/em＞ is a powerful argument with the vividness and narrative drive of the best long-form journalism; it is sure to spark controversy among the people who run the governmentーand among the people who tell their stories.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Don't Overlook Isaac【電子書籍】[ E. M. Williams DMin ]

＜p＞Isaac's parents laughed at the thought of them having a son in their old age. Abraham, his father, perhaps thought that God was displaying a sense of humor. Sarah, his mother, just laughed at the idea of her bearing a child at her age. Perhaps this laughter or nonchalant attitude toward their promised son has caused many to overlook the Isaac narratives. While Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as patriarchs, have significance as the fathers of the Christian family, attention has primarily been given to the narrative messages from Abraham and Jacob. Some suggest that the attention of Isaac is rightfully given to Joseph. It is important that we understand each of the patriarch's narratives individually and collectively so we can draw from the lessons of their connecting messages.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Overlooking Isaac's message will cause you to miss the depth of his trauma on Mount Moriah and misunderstand the drama that plays out in the patriarchal family. Trauma and drama are not an Isaac-only issue. It is a family issue, and it requires the family's attention for their healing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book emphasizes the often overlooked message and narrative of Isaac. Glancing over the narrative of Isaac will leave every believer exposed to needless drama in their lives.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Thin Sympathy A Strategy to Thicken Transitional Justice【電子書籍】[ Joanna R. Quinn ]

＜p＞Transitional justice, commonly defined as the process of confronting the legacies of past human rights abuses and atrocities, often does not produce the kinds of results that are imagined. In multiethnic, divided societies like Uganda, people who have not been directly affected by harm, atrocity, and abuse go about their daily lives without ever confronting what happened in the past. When victims and survivors raise their voices to ask for help, or when plans are announced to address that harm, it is this unaffected population that see such plans as pointless. They complain about what they perceive as the "needless" time and money that will be spent to fix something that they see as unimportant and, ultimately, block any restorative processes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Joanna R. Quinn spent twenty years working in Uganda and uses its particular case as a lens through which she examines the failure of deeply divided societies to acknowledge the past. She proposes that the needed remedy is the development of a very rudimentary understandingーwhat she calls "thin sympathy"ーamong individuals in each of the different factions and groups of the other's suffering prior to establishing any transitional justice process. Based on 440 extensive interviews with elites and other thought leaders in government, traditional institutions, faith groups, and NGOs, as well as with women and children throughout the country, ＜em＞Thin Sympathy＜/em＞ argues that the acquisition of a basic understanding of what has taken place in the past will enable the development of a more durable transitional justice process.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Originally published in 1893, this compilation of twelve dozen stories of Divine support and intervention portrays a picture of a faithful and loving God and His involvement in our lives when we trust Him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From the preface, "It is needless to say much by way of preface to this book. It will speak for itself. From the writer's standpoint, none but those 'given over to hardness of heart' can read these 'Touching Incidents' without having their souls wondrously stirred within them; and none but the willfully unbelieving can say, in view of the 'Remarkable Answers to Prayer' herein recorded, that God does not hear and regard the cries of his faithful children."＜/p＞ ＜p＞S.

＜h3＞＜strong＞A story of healing and transformation through love!＜/strong＞＜/h3＞ ＜p＞Glory be to God; He has truly caught me off guard. I have heard people say stuff like A God written love story or whatever, but I never figured that He would write a love story for me, and with me included in it too? I think about all the wonderful times and moments that I spent with Henry, not regretting a single one. I am not at all convinced that it was never meant to be or happen. Ever since I met Henry I had been inspired to be a better person, get back to my dreams, my goals, etc. I never met a guy who made me feel this way; one who inspired me in this way, and with God at the center of it all (orchestrating it actually), I am beyond convinced that this was destined and purposed. At first I didn't see it, I didn't understand it. I didn't see this coming; the message and lessons that God had hidden in behind the scenes of this Divine connection. It caught me off guard for sure....＜/p＞ ＜p＞This love has changed my life! I'm closer with God, I believe in myself more, and needless to say that my courage and confidence is through the roof. I say it all the time, that God will place certain people in your path to guide you and help direct you to the purpose and plans that He has for you.

No, let me say that properly: The Greatest Magician Ever!＜/p＞ ＜p＞Circumstances and life however, eventually prevented me from attaining this particular goal, but before they intervened I spent most of my time learning, practicing and performing new magic tricks whenever, and whenever I could, on whomever I could.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Needless to say I had a great many friends when I was growing up and was always the sideshow of any party! And this I believe, was just the thing which made me such a good magician.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To keep up with the necessity of wanting to be popular with everyone, I practiced very hard indeed at my magic.

＜p＞“The turning point of our fate." ? Jefferson Davis on the death of Albert Sidney Johnston at Shiloh＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Probably no single battle of the war gave rise to such wild and damaging reports.” ? William Tecumseh Sherman＜/p＞ ＜p＞After Union General Ulysses S. Grant captured Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in early 1862, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston, widely considered the Confederacy’s best general, concentrated his forces in northern Georgia and prepared for a major offensive that culminated with the biggest battle of the war to that point, the Battle of Shiloh. On the morning of April 6, Johnston directed an all out attack on Grant’s army around Shiloh Church, and though Grant’s men had been encamped there, they had failed to create defensive fortifications or earthworks. They were also badly caught by surprise. With nearly 45,000 Confederates attacking, Johnston’s army began to steadily push Grant’s men back toward the river.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As fate would have it, the Confederates may have been undone by friendly fire at Shiloh. Johnston advanced out ahead of his men on horseback while directing a charge near a peach orchard when he was hit in the lower leg by a bullet that historians now widely believe was fired by his own men. Nobody thought the wound was serious, including Johnston, who continued to aggressively lead his men and even sent his personal physician to treat wounded Union soldiers taken captive. But the bullet had clipped an artery, and shortly after being wounded Johnston began to feel faint in the saddle. With blood filling up his boot, Johnston unwittingly bled to death. The delay caused by his death, and the transfer of command to subordinate P.G.T. Beauregard, bought the Union defenders critical time on April 6, and the following day Grant’s reinforced army struck back and pushed the Confederate army off the field.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Battle of Shiloh lasted two days, but the battle over the battle had just begun. Grant’s army had just won the biggest battle in the history of North America, with nearly 24,000 combined casualties among the Union and Confederate forces. Usually the winner of a major battle is hailed as a hero, but Grant was hardly a winner at Shiloh. The Battle of Shiloh took place before costlier battles at places like Antietam and Gettysburg, so the extent of the casualties at Shiloh shocked the nation. Moreover, at Shiloh the casualties were viewed as needless; Grant was pilloried for allowing the Confederates to take his forces by surprise, as well as the failure to build defensive earthworks and fortifications, which nearly resulted in a rout of his army. Speculation again arose that Grant had a drinking problem, and some even assumed he was drunk during the battle. Though the Union won, it was largely viewed that their success owed to the heroics of General Sherman in rallying the men and Don Carlos Buell arriving with his army, and General Buell was happy to receive the credit at Grant’s expense.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As a result of the Battle of Shiloh, Grant was demoted to second-in-command of all armies in his department, an utterly powerless position.
