Elizabeth Spencer presents a vital, moving story set in the deep South—the Delta and Mississippi hill country. Amos Dudley was a farm boy in the Delta country at the turn of the century until he started working for his brother Ephraim in the store by the railroad. It was an ordinary enough environment in which to begin to feel the strange forces that move a man to set his course in the world.But the forces working within Amos were by no means ordinary. Sometimes cruel, sometimes suddenly tender, they were strong and willful, so that Amos became a man to reckon with—to Ary, his beautiful, plantation-born wife, to the woman in the bayou, to the shiftless philosopher, Arney. Even the rich black swamp soil which he wrested from the forest and gave to his cotton seemed to respond with awe and eagerness to Amos's will. His sensuous, wayward daughter and the man she loved especially felt the full shattering drama of the violence which had evidently been building...

That is, until her lifelong friend Coop becomes a murder suspect. The victim was Kinky, Coop's former boss and the unsavory owner of the Bingo Barge, a sleazy gambling boat on the Mississippi. The weapon? Kinky's lucky bronzed bingo marker. While unearthing clues to absolve Coop, Shay encounters Mafia goons hunting for some extremely valuable nuts. Can Shay find the killer before the stakes get any higher?"--Back cover

California's mighty rivers served as the state's early superhighways. Riverboats transported countless tons of supplies, workers, and settlers from the coast to inland gold rush colonies and everywhere in between. Majestic sidewheelers and sternwheelers burning coal, wood, and oil plied the waterways of the delta, as well as the Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Napa Rivers, and the lesser-known routes of the Sonoma and Petaluma. Starting with the Sitka in 1847, boats such as the Captain Weber, Jacinto, Fort Sutter, T.C. Walker, and J.R. McDonald ruled the rivers, visiting such ports as Courtland, Stockton, Sacramento, San Francisco, Marysville, Firebaugh, Yuba City, and Rio Vista.

Both Newspaper And Magazine Journalism In The Nineteenth Century Fully Participated In The Development And Emergence Of American Realism In The Arts, Which Attempted To Portray Everyday Life Accurately, Especially In Fiction. In Photographs And Artists' Sketches As Well As News Articles And Features, Journalists Exposed The Stories And Conditions That Became The Material For American Realism, And They Were Also Its Early And Vocal Advocates. This Relationship Peaked From 1890 To 1910, When Writers Who Might Be Called The First Literary Journalists Closed The Circle By More Fully Adopting The Fiction Writer's Style Of Attempting To 'show The Reader Real Life,' As Their Literary Progeny Tom Wolfe Would Put It Many Years Later.--p.

Japanese Grammar: The Connecting Point is instrumental for anyone learning Japanese who seeks to gain a firm grasp of the most important aspect of the language: verb usage. Learning Japanese may seem to be a daunting task, but Dr. Nomura's book will help readers conjugate verbs into a variety of formats, construct sentences systematically, and hold intelligible conversations in Japanese. He groups all Japanese verbs into clusters, creating a method of how each of those groups conjugate, and then demonstrates how to combine various verb forms with auxiliary expressions to form complex sentences. Not only is this method excellent for beginners, as it creates a solid foundation for learners to increase their language ability and attain fluency at a rapid rate, but also for intermediate and advanced levels, as it will help them solidify their verb usage and use Japanese with greater confidence. Learners will also benefit from Dr. Nomura's method because they will be able to shift the level of formality in any conversational situation according to what is culturally appropriate. Furthermore, when a new verb is uttered by other people, the learner will be able to immediately apply the agglutinative process described in this grammar book and generate sentences with a variety of suffixes in a culturally appropriate manner.

El patrimonio histórico-educativo forma parte del patrimonio cultural de la humanidad, pero por sus características propias exige un enfoque y un tratamiento específicos. Conscientes de ello, los especialistas en Historia de la Educación, sobre todo a partir del giro cultural impreso a este saber por Dominique Julia, Antonio Viñao, etc., han impulsado los trabajos y los estudios de recuperación, conservación e investigación de la cultura escolar, preocupados por el abandono del patrimonio histórico-educativo tanto el material como el intangible. Para corregir tal abandono, y para disponer de mayor y más diverso número de fuentes a la hora de investigar sobre la historia de la educación, se ha elaborado esta obra, con el objetivo concreto de contribuir al estudio y conservación del patrimonio histórico-educativo en general y de un modo particular del iberoamericano. Se desea que el libro pueda servir de manual de uso para los jóvenes, de curso de actualización para los menos jóvenes, de provocador de nuevas ideas y diseños para los expertos, y, sobre todo, para mentalizar a las nuevas generaciones de los valores que encierra el patrimonio histórico-educativo

In Hegel's Rabble, Frank Ruda identifies and explores a crucial problem in the Hegelian philosophy of right that strikes at the heart of Hegel's conception of the state. This singular problem, which Ruda argues is the problem of Hegelian political thought, appears in Hegel's text only in a seemingly marginal form under the name of the "rabble": a particular side-effect of the dialectical deduction of the necessity of the existence of state from the contradictory constitution of civil society. Working out from a thorough analysis of this problem and drawing on contemporary discussions in the work of such thinkers as Alain Badiou, Jean-Luc Nancy and Slavoj Zizek, the book proceeds to re-examine and reconstruct Hegel's entire political project. Ruda goes on to argue that only by re-thinking this problem of 'the rabble' in Hegel's thought - the only problem Hegel is able neither to resolve nor to sublate - can the early Marxian conception of 'the proletariat' be properly understood. The book closes with an Afterword from Slavoj Zizek.

"Overwhelmingly, Black teenage girls are negatively represented in national and global popular discourses, either as being "at risk" for teenage pregnancy, obesity, or sexually transmitted diseases, or as helpless victims of inner city poverty and violence. Such popular representations are pervasive and often portray Black adolescents' consumer and leisure culture as corruptive, uncivilized, and pathological. In She's Mad Real, Oneka LaBennett draws on over a decade of researching teenage West Indian girls in the Flatbush and Crown Heights sections of Brooklyn to argue that Black youth are in fact strategic consumers of popular culture and through this consumption they assert far more agency in defining race, ethnicity, and gender than academic and popular discourses tend to acknowledge.

After scattering her mother's ashes in Vietnam, photojournalist Xandra Carrick comes home to New York to rebuild her life and career. When she experiences supernatural visions that reveal atrocities perpetrated by American soldiers during the Vietnam War, she finds herself entangled in a forty-year-old conspiracy that could bring the nation into political turmoil. Launching headlong into a quest to learn the truth from her father, Peter Carrick, a Pulitzer Prize Laureate who served as an embedded photographer during the war, Xandra confronts him about a dark secret he has kept--one that has devastated their family. Her investigations lead her to her departed mother's journal, which tell of love, spiritual awakening, and surviving the fall of Saigon. Pursued across the continent, Xandra comes face-to-face with powerful forces that will stop at nothing to prevent her from revealing the truth. But not before government agencies arrest her for murder, domestic terrorism and an assassination attempt on the newly elected president of the United States. Darkroom is a riveting tale of suspense that tears the covers off the human struggle for truth in a world imprisoned by lies.

Arkin looks back on his career as an actor, but this memoir forgoes the backstage gossip and star-studded anecdotes readers might expect. In fact, the author largely ignores his accomplishments in favor of charting his inner evolution as an artist, focusing on intellectual and spiritual epiphanies that have shaped his approach to acting. Arkin’s approach to autobiography is a bit unexpected—the intensely earnest, verging-on-New-Age tone is distinctly at odds with his familiar brusque, comedic persona—but rewarding, as the author illustrates the principles of his acting philosophy with a wealth of concrete details taken directly from his experience, resulting in a coherent and provocative manifesto. There are some intriguing glimpses at the process and personalities behind Chicago’s seminal Second City acting troupe, in which Arkin first made a name for himself, and a handful of familiar tropes about the struggling young artist looking for work. But the author’s interest is primarily in the discoveries he has made conducting improvisational-theater workshops, working with various acting mentors and performing on stage and screen. Arkin’s basic premise is that good acting is born of an actor’s commitment to the present moment, an embrace of spontaneity and willingness to give up rigid control. This Zen-like approach, which largely consists of the actor getting out of his own way, is hardly revolutionary, but Arkin has a knack for making it feel fresh and wholly sensible. He also displays a refreshing lack of egocentrism; many of the most profound lessons he recounts are the result of watching other actors, often amateurs, struggle with the challenges of improvisation laid out in his workshops. For an actor famous for his anxious, intense brand of comedy, Arkin’s tone is surprisingly cool and measured, often wry but rarely laugh-out-loud funny. Earnest, intelligent and well-observed—less a celebrity memoir than a serious consideration of the principles of acting and improvisation.

The decline in power, popularity and prestige of religion across the modern world is not a short-term or localized trend nor is it an accident. It is a consequence of subtle but powerful features of modernization. Renowned sociologist, Steve Bruce, elaborates the secularization paradigm and defends it against a wide variety of recent attempts at rebuttal and refutation. Using the best available statistical and qualitative evidence Bruce considers the implications for the secularization paradigm of the extent to which new religious movements or New Age spiritualities are replacing religion; changes in the nature and power of folk religion and superstition; rational choice alternatives to the secularization paradigm; the popularity and political influence of religion in the USA; religious change in the developing world; reactions to Islam in Europe; and the effects of recent controversies over the public place of religion. Bruce presents a robust defence of the secularization paradigm, clarifying its arguments for the benefit of all sides of the debate.--Publisher website

Demos Atrikes lounged against a smooth stretch of wall and surveyed the strobe-lit dance floor with a jaundiced eye as music pounded and bodies writhed around him. Abstract images were projected on a rippling red curtain across from him, and the bored socialites who weren't on the dance floor lounged artfully on curving leather sofas, watching the absurd slideshow.<P>He already had a headache. He didn't normally come to these types of parties. Yet another striving socialite turning— what? Twenty-two? He glanced at the scantily clad beauties crowding the dance floor and suppressed a sigh of boredom. He generally preferred more sophisticated entertainments, although now even those had started to seem old. Empty.<P>He'd only come tonight because the birthday girl this time round also happened to be the daughter of one of his current clients, a financial analyst who wanted a custom-designed yacht, worth around twelve million euros.<P>It made coming to this pop princess party worth his while— or at least half an hour of his time. He downed the rest of his drink and surveyed the writhing crowd one last time. He'd had enough.<P>When he'd left the office half an hour ago he had been seeking respite, but he knew the pounding music and heaving dance floor would not provide it. He'd lost himself in such amusements too many times, and now he wanted something else. Something more.<P>He just didn't know what it was.<P>He'd begun to turn away when his eyes were drawn to a slender, dark-haired beauty in the middle of the floor, gyrating closely with a greasy-haired punk wearing tight black trousers and a half-buttoned silk shirt in a violent shade of pink. She wore a slip dress in silver-spangled Lycra, riding high on her thighs and dipping low on her breasts so that little of that lithe young body was left to Demos's imagination.<P>She smiled at the man next to her and he reached for her hips, drawing them closer to lock with his in a move so blatantly crude and sexual that Demos's mouth thinned in distaste—even though at thirty-two years old he wasn't old or innocent enough to be a prude.<P>His eyes flared with awareness and curiosity—blatant interest—uncoiled inside him as he watched the girl stiffen. Was the punk's proprietorial pawing too much, even for a wild-child like her? Then she shrugged, accepting, and tossed back her tangled waves of ink-black hair in a gesture that was both brave and yet somehow wonderfully, pitiably defiant.<P>They danced like that for a few seconds, no more, before she suddenly twisted away, her hair lashing around her, and moved off the dance floor.<P>Demos watched, intrigued, as the man in the lurid shirt made to follow her. But with a flirty smile that managed to both promise and reject she shook her head and disappeared among the heated throng.<P>Without even thinking about what he was doing—or why— Demos followed.<P>It didn't take long to find her. At six feet four he was head and shoulders above all the women, even those tottering on their sharpened stilettos, and most of the men.<P>He found her curled up on one of the curving divans scattered around the nightclub's bar area, her eyes wide and staring. Demos stopped and watched her, considering his move.<P>He hadn't been in the mood to party tonight, he acknowledged, not after nine hours of staring at blueprints, followed by his mother's reproachful telephone call. <I>You must visit, Demos. Your sisters need you…</i><P>A mantle, a yoke he'd taken on without a qualm or single pang of uncertainty. Yet now, twenty years later, he felt its shackling weight.<P>For a moment he threw it off, let his gaze rest on a far more enticing proposition—someone who didn't depend on him, didn't need him, someone he just… wanted. Desire. Pure, plain, simple.<P>He wanted her. Yet she was oblivious to his presence even though he'd come to a halt only a metre away. He took the opportunity to study her: the sexily tousled hair, the smoky eyeliner and pink pouty lips, the distant look in eyes the colour of lapis-lazuli. She was sitting with her legs tucked under her, and her minuscule skirt rode up even higher so he could see the scrap of her thong.<P>As if aware of where his wandering eyes had strayed, she snapped her own gaze to his, and for a heartbeat she looked surprised—shocked, even. Demos held her gaze, felt its lure and promise as those pouty lips curved into a smile of sensual enjoyment and with deliberate provocation she recrossed her legs.<P>Demos swallowed, not wanting to be affected by such an obvious ploy. But he was. Her lips curved more deeply, knowingly.<P>'Had a nice look?' she asked in a husky purr, and Demos smiled, slipping next to her on the divan.<P>'Yes,' he murmured back, 'thanks to you.'<P>She glanced at him with brazen thoroughness, her gaze travelling from his face, with its five o'clock shadow, down to his loosened tie, sweeping across his chest, and down further, her smile still curving with a teasing playfulness that had Demos nearly breaking into a sweat.<P>He'd had his share of one-night stands—instant physical attraction that had been fulfilled and finished in a matter of moments. Yet he'd never reacted so strongly, so quickly, to a simple look.<P>'Had a good look yourself?' he asked, leaning closer to her. She shook her head, and her hair brushed his cheek. She smelled of some kind of flowery young scent that he normally would have found overpowering, yet on her it was intoxicating.<P>'No…not yet.'<P>'We could remedy that situation.'<P>She pulled back, raised her eyebrows. 'How?'<P>She was challenging him, he thought. The smile that curved her lips was both sensual and mocking. He felt a thrill of adrenalin and lust race through him. This girl was different from the spoiled socialites, the shallow models. The women he normally took to bed.<P>They simpered, they cooed, they draped themselves over him with nauseating predictability. She didn't. She just smiled coolly and waited.<P>'How do you think?' he finally asked.<P>'I don't know,' she replied, and he felt from her little smile that she was as intrigued as he was. 'Maybe you can make some suggestions as to how we find out.' There was a look of challenge in her eyes, and she laid one hand as lightly as a butterfly's wing on his thigh. High on his thigh.<P>And Demos reacted.<P>So did she.<P>She jerked her hand away and gave a little laugh, her glance sliding away from his before it returned, resolutely, to meet his enquiring gaze.<P>The skinny silver strap of her dress had fallen off her shoulder, and Demos reached to adjust it. He couldn't resist sweeping his fingers against that silky bit of skin, to feel if it was as soft as it looked.<P>Yet the moment his fingers skimmed her collarbone she jerked back, her body stiffening, her eyes blanking. She almost looked afraid.<P>Demos dropped his hand and leaned back, considering.<P>What game was she playing?<P>Then she smiled again, reached for her martini glass, downed the last of her drink and thrust it towards him.<P>'Why don't we start with you buying me a drink?'<P>Althea Paranoussis held her glass out, quirking one eyebrow in mocking challenge. The man next to her stared at her for a moment, his own eyes the colour of smoke, darkening to charcoal.<P>Hard eyes, she thought. Hard mouth, hard face, hard body. Hard everything. She didn't like the cool assessment in his eyes, the way his long fingers wrapped around her glass, taking care to brush hers.<P>She didn't like the shock of pure sensation that shot up her arm, uncoiled in her belly and put the familiar metallic tang of fear on her tongue.<P>'What are you drinking?' he asked.<P>She told him the cocktail she wanted. A name laced with innuendo.<P>He raised his eyes, and Althea flicked her hair over her shoulders in a move she'd perfected over the years.<P>'Is that a drink?'<P>'You'll find out at the bar,' she replied with a naughty little smile.<P>He gave a terse nod and moved from the divan. Althea watched his long, lean body as it moved through the crowds with easy grace. As he headed towards the bar she wondered if she should disappear.<P>She was an expert at the art of promising without delivering, of melting into the crowd as she made a little moue of regret. It was the way she stayed safe. Sane.<P>She leaned back against the leather divan and didn't move. She wanted to see him again, she realised with a sharp pang of surprise. That was strange. She wanted to know more about him. He seemed different from the bored, base young men she normally surrounded herself with. He was older, more confident, and therefore more dangerous. Yet still she didn't move.<P>There would be time later for excuses, escapes.<P>Plenty of time.<P>She glanced up and saw he'd already reappeared, requisite pink drink in hand. It was a ridiculous drink, a silly, soppy, girly cocktail, and she swallowed a laugh at the look of it in his hand. He looked revolted by it, but he handed it to her with a flourish, and the laugh she'd suppressed came out in a rich, throaty chuckle that had him smiling back in bemusement as well as blatant appreciation.<P>'Perfect,' she murmured. He hadn't bought a drink for himself, Althea noticed as she took a small, careful sip.<P>He sat down next to her, watching her with an intent narrowed gaze that lacked the lascivious speculation she was used to and yet affected her more deeply, causing a strange shaft of pleasure and pain to pierce her composure, her armour, as his eyes swept slowly over her.<P>'I don't even know your name.'<P>She smiled over the rim of her glass and sought to arm herself once more. 'Maybe it's better that way.'<P>He raised an eyebrow. 'Is that how you like it?'<P>'Sometimes,' she shot back carelessly. She put her drink down, not quite meeting his eyes.<P>'I like women to know <I>my </i>name,' he replied. His eyes glinted with both challenge and admiration. 'Demos Atrikes,' he said after a moment, and she tossed her hair back and smiled.<P>'Pleased to meet you.' She'd heard of him, of course. She supposed she should have recognised him. He was in the tabloids just as much she was, usually with a model or starlet clinging to his arm. And now he wanted her for that precarious position.<P>Her lips thinned before she smiled again, letting her gaze linger on the harsh yet beautiful lines of his face, noticing the gold flecks in his silver-grey eyes. Silver and gold. The man was rich, she knew. Rich and bored, out for an evening's entertainment. She leaned back against the leather divan, tucking her legs under her, her mouth twisting sardonically.<P>He noticed. 'Something wrong?' he asked in a murmur, his voice pitched low yet sharpened with cynicism.<P>'I'm bored.' Althea met his gaze with a challenge of her own. 'Let's dance.'<P>'You bore easily.'<P>'Not if given the right entertainment,' she tossed back, eyes and senses flaring.<P>'I have a better idea,' Demos murmured, leaning towards her so she could feel his breath, cool and minty on her cheek. 'Let's leave this party. I know a taverna near here. We can have a drink, some quiet conversation.'<P>Althea pulled back, raised one eyebrow in mocking disbelief. 'You want to <I>talk</i>?'<P>'We can begin with talking,' Demos replied with a smile. 'And see where it leads.' He paused, his eyes flickering over her once again. 'You're different.'<P>She smiled again, not bothering to hide her cynicism. He had no idea how <I>different </i>she was. 'I'll take that as a compliment.'<P>'It was intended as one. So?' Demos arched an eyebrow, his eyes dark with enquiry and interest. 'Shall we?'<P>She shouldn't. She knew she shouldn't. She didn't get that close with men like Demos Atrikes. She didn't get them alone.<P>Yet she was intrigued despite her intentions not to be, despite her <I>self. </i>He had told her she was different, and now she wondered if he really was too.<P>It was more than simple curiosity, Althea knew. Her eyes were drawn to the hand he extended, lean and brown and sure. She wondered how that hand would feel wrapped around hers, how his body, lean and long and hard, would feel against hers, and the very fact that she was wondering such things made her breathless and dizzy with fearful surprise.<P>Althea felt herself slip from the divan even as a disconnected voice reminded her that she <I>never </i>did this. He was just a man, another man, and she <I>knew</i>…<P>Except maybe she didn't know. Maybe she wanted to find out. She tossed her hair back and reached for the scrap of spangled silk that served as a wrap. Even in Athens the early spring air was chilly. It had a bite.<P>She slipped her hand in his and felt those strong brown fingers close around hers, sending a jolt of pure sensation through her like a shot to the heart. It wasn't a pleasant feeling; it was too strong and surprising. Althea jerked back, but Demos didn't let go.<P>He just smiled, and Althea realised he'd sensed her reaction and knew what it meant. Maybe he felt it too.<P>Out of the corner of her eye she saw a glint of pink silk, and her stomach curled with nerves as Angelos Fotopolous walked straight towards her, smiling with unpleasant promise. She turned back to Demos.<P>'Come on, let's go.'<P>'In a hurry, are you?' he murmured, even as Althea rested a hand on his arm, her fingers curling, clinging to his suit jacket.<P>'You're not leaving the party so soon, beautiful?' Angelos said. He'd undone a further button on his shirt and his hair was slicked back from his narrow face.<P>He reached out to pull her to him, and Althea let herself go slack, unresisting. She felt her body go numb, and then… nothing.<P>He didn't touch her.<P>Demos had stopped that snaking arm with a quick vice-like grip. 'She's leaving,' he said in a low, pleasant voice. 'With me.'<P>'Says who?'Angelos snarled, yet Althea saw the uncertainty enter his eyes. Demos was a head taller and a decade older than Angelos, who still had a rime of pimples along his jaw.<P>'She says,' Demos replied. 'Don't you?' he asked, sliding her a quick querying glance. He was, she realised, giving her a choice. She hadn't expected it. She had expected him to defend her against Angelos as a matter of personal pride. But to let her choose… ? It was novel.<P>Maybe he <I>was </i>different.<P>'I…' She cleared her throat, raised her voice. 'I do. Leave it, Angelos.'<P>Angelos's eyes blazed, but he shrugged. 'Fine. She's nothing but an easy slut anyway.'<P>Demos's hand shot out, wrapped around Angelos's throat. Althea blinked. Angelos choked.<P>'Apologise, please,' Demos said. His eyes were hard, almost black, even though he kept his voice pleasant.<P>'You'll find out soon enough,' Angelos gasped, his fingers scrabbling at Demos's fist. Speculative murmurs rippled around them in an uneasy tide. They were, Althea realised, attracting a crowd. <BR><BR><i>Continues...</i> <!-- copyright notice --> <br></pre> <blockquote><hr noshade size='1'><font size='-2'> Excerpted from <b>The Greek Tycoon's Reluctant Bride</b> by <b>Kate Hewitt</b> Copyright © 2010 by Kate Hewitt.

"This 2-volume set within the SAGE Reference Series on Leadership tackles issues relevant to leadership in the realm of science and technology. To encompass the key topics in this arena, this handbook features 100 topics arranged under eight headings. Volume 1 concentrates on general principles of science and technology leadership and includes sections on social-scientific perspectives on S & T leadership; key scientific concepts about leading and innovating in S & T; characteristics of S & T leaders and their environments; and strategies, tactics, and tools of S & T leadership. Volume 2 provides case studies of leadership in S & T, with sections considering leadership in informal communities of scientists and engineers; leadership in government projects and research initiatives; leadership in industry research, development, and innovation; and finally, leadership in education and university-based research. By focusing on key topics within 100 brief chapters, this unprecedented reference resource offers students more detailed information and depth of discussion than typically found in an encyclopedia entry but not as much jargon, detail or density as in a journal article or a research handbook chapter. Entries are written in language and style that is broadly accessible, and each is followed by cross-references and a brief bibliography and further readings. A detailed index and an online version of the work enhances accessibility for today's student audience"-- Provided by publisher

There are 27 million slaves living in the world today—more than at any time in history. Three hundred thousand of them are impoverished children in Haiti, who "stay with" families as unpaid and uneducated domestic workers, subject to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. This practice, known locally as restavek ("staying with"), is so widespread that one in ten Haitian children is caught up in this form of slavery. Jean-Robert Cadet was a restavek in Haiti from the late 1950s until the early 1970s. He told the harrowing story of his youth in Restavec: From Haitian Slave Child to Middle-Class American —a landmark book that exposed ongoing child slavery in Haiti. Now in My Stone of Hope , Cadet continues his story from his early attempts to adjust to freedom in American society to his current life mission of eliminating child slavery through advocacy and education. As he recounts his own struggles to surmount the psychological wounds of slavery, Cadet puts a human face on the suffering that hundreds of thousands of Haitians still endure daily. He also builds a convincing case that child slavery is not just one among many problems that Haiti faces as the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation. Rather, he argues that the systematic abuse of so many of its children is Haiti's fundamental problem, because it creates damaged adults who seem incapable of governing the country justly or managing its economy productively. For everyone concerned about the fate of Haiti, the welfare of children, and the freedom of people around the globe, My Stone of Hope sounds an irresistible call to action.
