Healing the Wounds calls upon us to rediscover and act out of the wholeness at the core of our existence..."

The essays review the careers of admirals from Esek Hopkins to David Dixon Porter to Chester Nimitz to Elmo Zumwalt. Instead of reviewing their careers from a historical perspective, the writers look at the leadership and philosophical aspects and show how these men shaped and influence the direction of the navy. For example, due to his strong determination, Rickover brought the navy into the nuclear age, while Zumwalt used his famous "Z-grams" to improve the life and morale of the navy's enlisted personnel."

Lexington Park, MD Unified Committee for Afro-American Contributions of St. Mary's County, Incorporated 2006 Oversized softcover Brand new

In their own words, residents of St. Mary's County, Maryland, tell of the separate and unequal black schools that existed until the county finally complied with Brown v. Board of Education in 1967. This generation displays no nostalgia for segregation, but they do recall how their daily life was marked not only by inequality, but also by determination, caring, even fun. One hundred years from now, their voices will be a priceless resource for historians yearning to understand, "What was it like? What was it really like?"

Agar, Michael H. The Professional Stranger : An Informal Introduction to Ethnography (Studies in Anthropology)
San Diego, CA, U.S.A. Elsevier Science & Technology Books 1980 012043850X Trade Paperback Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
Some notes, underlining and highlights throughout. 227 pp. including index. Brown covers with orange titling. Strong binding. "The Professional Stranger introduces an ethnographic perspective on the study of human life. Ethnography's goal is defined as the acquisition of an ability to interpret events as do members of some group. The perspective is further explored by contrasting ethnographyu with more traditional hypothesis testing approaches in the social sciences. Numerous examples are used, drawn for the most part from the author's field experiences in South India and with urban U.S. heroin addicts. While not intended as a methodological cookbook, several problems in ethnographic interfviewing and observation are discussed. Throughout, there is a concern with the difficult task of providing systematic documentation of key ethnographic conclusions."

Rosabel is a lonely member of a large farm family in Minnesota at the turn of the century- a middle child with no one close to her own age to share her thoughts with. During the late summer, she has to remain away from the farm and the other children all day, for her chore is to tend alone the herd of cows as they wander through woods and meadows where pastures seem best to them. One day a strange old woman comes to Rosabel's aid at a frightening time- when the cows are running rampant through a neighbor's cornfield. A warm friendship developws between the old woman and the young girl, although it must remain a secret because 'Granny Meg' is hiding in the woods from the town officials who, 'for her own good,' want to put her into the County Home."

Barzini, Luigi The Italians
New York, New York, U.S.A. Atheneum 1979 0689705409 Trade Paperback Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
352 ppg including index and maps. Clean overall. Top right front cover bumped. "In this consummate portrait of the Italian people, bestselling author, publisher, journalist, and politician Luigi Barzini delves deeply into the Italian national character, discovering both its great qualities and its imperfections. Barzini is startlingly frank as he examines "the two Italies": the one that created and nurtured such luminaries as Dante Alighieri, St. Thomas of Aquino, and Leonardo da Vinci; the other, feeble and prone to catastrophe, backward in political action if not in thought, "invaded, ravaged, sacked, and humiliated in every century." Deeply ambivalent, Barzini approaches his task with a combination of love, hate, disillusion, and affectionate paternalism, resulting in a completely original, thoughtful, and probing picture of his countrymen."

Belford, Barbara Violet : The Story of the Irrepressible Violet Hunt and Her Circle of Lovers and Friends - Ford Madox Ford, H. G. Wells, Somerset Maugham, and Henry James
New York, NY, U.S.A. Simon & Schuster 1990 0671643517 Hard Cover As New As New
The subtitle aptly describes Columbia University journalism professor Belford's biography of British novelist Violet Hunt (1862-1942). The daughter of a landscape artist and a writer, she came of age among the Pre-Raphaelites, her way strewn with literary plenipotentiaries: her diary, begun when she was 14, features such family friends as John Ruskin and Oscar Wilde. Hunt, called by one crony "a woman made for irregular situations," was drawn by her love of flirtation and intrigue into an affair at 22 with George Boughton, married and 30 years her senior. Diaries discovered by Belford fill in details of her painful affair with Oswald Crawfurdsp ok.g , from whom she evidently contracted syphilis. The biography deftly handles her most important relationship--with Ford Madox Ford--and her contradictory desire for sexual freedom and respectability. While giving Hunt her due as a writer (she wrote 17 novels and many short stories), Belford rightly concentrates on her subject's zest for unconventional love and life. Lavender and plum boards with silver lettering on spine. Appears to be first (not stated).

"With a story that rivals Walter Lord's A Night to Remember, the Blairs have woven a marvelous action- survival sea saga. It begins with the Japanese decision that, ater the bridge was built, the 'fittest' of the POWs would be sent to Japan to work in mines and factories. As a result, more than 2,000 Australian and British POWs were jammed into a single hold on each of two ships, the Rakuyo Maru and the Kachidoki Maru. These holds had been designed to transport 300 troops, so living conditions were ghastly, but the convoy set out to pick its way through the by then well- established Allied submarine blockade. Almost inevitable, both were sunk by American submarines that had no idea that Allied POWs were aboard." Illustrated with 24 pages of photographs and endpaper maps.

Bowyer, Chaz Men of Coastal Command 1939- 1945
London William Kimber 1985 071830554x First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
This book appears to be unread/ unopened. Tight and solid binding. Blue boards. No shelf wear to book and only very minor wear to top edge of dust jacket. Dust Jacket is now protected by archival quality mylar cover. 272 pages including index. "RAF Coastal Command's crucial role of helping to protect Britain's merchant shipping supply routes during 1939- 45 contributed hugely to the Allies' ability to sustain its war against Hitler's Nazi empire, yet because that role was unglamorous it received little media publicity and the vast majority of its airmen were virtually unknown to the public at large. Here, a broad cross- section of the men who flew above the oceans, and their deeds is presented as a tribute to the 'seamen of the air', without whose courage and sacrifices Britain and her allies might never have achieved their ultimate victory over the Axis Powers."
