Описание: Why is it so difficult for some people to escape poverty? Cynthia Esposito Lamy answers that question in American Children in Chronic Poverty: Complex Risks, Benefit-Cost Analyses, and Untangling the Knot by describing the complex and interacting knot of problems that children face as they grow up in poverty. Through a vast store of research on topics related to children, families and poverty, and methods to estimate social return on investment, Lamy determines which programs and policies produce benefits that exceed costs, providing evidence for an efficient fight against poverty. Specific expert policy recommendations for keeping poverty from ruining children s potential are described within three broad themes: bringing equity to our educational system, supporting families as they transition through difficulties, and making work pay. Lamy concludes with foundational concepts for building an overarching model of poverty-fighting to bring separate, narrowly defined programs and policies together. Benefit-cost analysis confirms what the great religions have been trying to tell us for millennia: when we respect and care for the most vulnerable members of our society we create a strong, successful society in which everyone prospers.

Untangling the Web is the National Security Agency's once-classified guide to finding information on the internet. From the basic to the advanced, this 650-page book offers a fascinating look at tricks the "real spies" use to uncover hidden (and not-so-hidden) information online.
Chapters include:
Google hacks Metasearch sites Custom search engines Maps & mapping Uncovering the invisible internet Beyond search engines: Specialized research tools Email lookups Finding people Researching companies A plain english guide to interworking Internet toolkits Finding ISPs Cybergeography Internet privacy and security
....and over a hundred more chapters.
This quote from the authors hints at the investigative power of the techniques this book teaches:
"Nothing I am going to describe to you is illegal, nor does it in any way involve accessing unauthorized data, ...but] involves using publicly available search engines to access publicly available information that almost certainly was not intended for public distribution."
From search strings that will reveal secret documents from South Africa ("filetype: xls site: za confidential") to tracking down tables of Russian passwords ("filetype: xls site: ru login"), this is both an instructive and voyeuristic look at how the most powerful spy agency in the world uses Google.

Описание: Sometimes, life gives us a second chance at love. Reeling from a devastating breakup while in college, Claire Lofton retreats to her grandmother's home in a small town nestled in the Cascade Mountains. Unable to recover from a broken heart, she leads a closed and cautious existence, immersing herself in teaching at the local elementary school. Jake Holland leads a quiet life in Alaska with Keenan, his young son, who has a severe bleeding disorder. Although adept at meeting the challenges of being the sole parent, he struggles with loneliness. Yet his guarded heart is determined not to repeat the disaster that was his marriage. During a chance encounter with Claire while visiting Washington, Jake finds himself inexorably drawn to her. Through a series of tender and poignant letters, he tries to win her love, something she resists with all her might. Gradually, in the course of their correspondence, the protective wall she has built around her emotions begins to crumble, and their friendship blossoms into a deep, abiding love.

Winner of the ECPA Christian Living Book of the Year Award
Our emotions are complex. Some of us seem able to ignore our feelings, while others feel controlled by them. But most of us would admit that we don't always know what to do with how we feel.
The Bible teaches us that our emotions are an indispensable part of what makes us human--and play a crucial role in our relationships with God and others. Exploring how God designed emotions for our good, this book shows us how to properly engage with our emotions--even the more difficult ones like fear, anger, shame, guilt, and sorrow--so we can better understand what they reveal about our hearts and handle them wisely in everyday moments.

Описание: Two world wars, the Civil Rights movement, and a Jheri curl later, Blacks in America continue to have a complex and convoluted relationship with their hair.

Tying the personal to the political and the popular, "Hair Story" takes a chronological look at the culture behind the ever-changing state of Black hair-from fifteenth century Africa to the present-day United States. "Hair Story" is the book that Black Americans can use as a benchmark for tracing a unique aspect of their history and that people of all races will celebrate as the reference guide for understanding Black hair.
