Book Synopsis Serving Native American Students by : Mary Jo Tippeconnic Fox
Download or read book Serving Native American Students written by Mary Jo Tippeconnic Fox and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2005-04-11 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing Native American enrollment at campuses across the United States is something to be celebrated. It reflects the resiliency of Native people across the country, a commitment on the part of Native students and their families to pursue educational goals, and the growing strength in tribal government and tribal economies. However, the underlying reality that the retention rate for Native American students is the lowest for any group in higher education ought be a source of tremendous concern. It is a consequence of the history of Native Americans in the United States; the state of elementary and secondary education for many Native Americans; and the lack of awareness in much of higher education to Native American students, people, and issues. What are the trends in enrollment for Native American students? What do we know about their experiences on our campuses? What contributes to their success in pursuing their educational aspirations, and what inhibits them? How might greater awareness of contemporary issues in Indian country affect our ability to serve Native American students? How might knowledge of Native American epistemology, cultural traditions, and social structures help in our efforts to address challenges and opportunities on our campuses? In this volume of the New Directions in Student Services series, scholars and practitioners alike, most of them Native American, address these important questions.
Book Synopsis Rodent Malaria by : R. Killick-Kendrick
Download or read book Rodent Malaria written by R. Killick-Kendrick and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rodent Malaria reviews significant findings concerning malaria parasites of rodents, including their taxonomy, zoogeography, and evolution, along with life cycles and morphology; genetics and biochemistry; and concomitant infections. This volume is organized into eight chapters and begins by sketching out the history of the discovery of rodent as well as aspects of parasitology, immunology, and chemotherapy. These concepts are investigated two decades following Ignace Vincke's major discovery and Meir Yoeli's successful establishment of the method of cyclical transmission of the parasite. The following chapters focus on the taxonomy and systematics of the subgenus Vinckeia, with reference to the concepts of species and subspecies of animals and the degree to which they apply to malaria parasites, in particular to those of rodents. The discussion then shifts to how the rodent malaria parasites provide a unique insight into the subcellular organization of Plasmodium species, the use of rodent malaria as an experimental model to study immunological responses, and infectious agents that interact with malaria parasites. The book concludes with a chapter on malaria chemotherapy, with emphasis on the value of rodent malaria in antimalarial drug screening and the use of antimalarial drugs as biological probes. This book will be of interest to protozoologists and physicians as well as those from other disciplines including biochemistry, immunology, pharmacology, cell biology, and genetics.

Book Synopsis A Bad Peace and a Good War by : Mark Santiago
Download or read book A Bad Peace and a Good War written by Mark Santiago and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges long-accepted historical orthodoxy about relations between the Spanish and the Indians in the borderlands separating what are now Mexico and the United States. While most scholars describe the decades after 1790 as a period of relative peace between the occupying Spaniards and the Apaches, Mark Santiago sees in the Mescalero Apache attacks on the Spanish beginning in 1795 a sustained, widespread, and bloody conflict. He argues that Commandant General Pedro de Nava’s coordinated campaigns against the Mescaleros were the culmination of the Spanish military’s efforts to contain Apache aggression, constituting one of its largest and most sustained operations in northern New Spain. A Bad Peace and a Good War examines the antecedents, tactics, and consequences of the fighting. This conflict occurred immediately after the Spanish military had succeeded in making an uneasy peace with portions of all Apache groups. The Mescaleros were the first to break the peace, annihilating two Spanish patrols in August 1795. Galvanized by the loss, Commandant General Nava struggled to determine the extent to which Mescaleros residing in “peace establishments” outside Spanish settlements near El Paso, San Elizario, and Presidio del Norte were involved. Santiago looks at the impact of conflicting Spanish military strategies and increasing demands for fiscal efficiency as a result of Spain’s imperial entanglements. He examines Nava’s yearly invasions of Mescalero territory, his divide-and-rule policy using other Apaches to attack the Mescaleros, and his deportation of prisoners from the frontier, preventing the Mescaleros from redeeming their kin. Santiago concludes that the consequences of this war were overwhelmingly negative for Mescaleros and ambiguous for Spaniards. The war’s legacy of bitterness lasted far beyond the end of Spanish rule, and the continued independence of so many Mescaleros and other Apaches in their homeland proved the limits of Spanish military authority. In the words of Viceroy Bernardo de Gálvez, the Spaniards had technically won a “good war” against the Mescaleros and went on to manage a “bad peace.”

Download or read book Seizing Destiny written by Richard Kluger and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-08-12 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Less than 100 years after its creation as a fragile republic, the United States more than quadrupled its size, making it the world's third largest nation. No other country or sovereign power had ever grown so big so fast or become so rich and so powerful. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Richard Kluger chronicles this epic achievement in a compelling narrative, celebrating the energy, daring, and statecraft behind America's insatiable land hunger while exploring the moral lapses that accompanied it. Comprehensive and balanced, Seizing Destiny is a revelatory, often surprising reexamination of the nation's breathless expansion, dwelling on both great accomplishments and the American people's tendency to confuse opportunistic success with heaven-sent entitlement that came to be called manifest destiny.
Book Synopsis Precision Public Health by : Tarun Weeramanthri
Download or read book Precision Public Health written by Tarun Weeramanthri and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precision Public Health is a new and rapidly evolving field, that examines the application of new technologies to public health policy and practice. It draws on a broad range of disciplines including genomics, spatial data, data linkage, epidemiology, health informatics, big data, predictive analytics and communications. The hope is that these new technologies will strengthen preventive health, improve access to health care, and reach disadvantaged populations in all areas of the world. But what are the downsides and what are the risks, and how can we ensure the benefits flow to those population groups most in need, rather than simply to those individuals who can afford to pay? This is the first collection of theoretical frameworks, analyses of empirical data, and case studies to be assembled on this topic, published to stimulate debate and promote collaborative work.

Book Synopsis Imperial Benevolence by : Jane Samson
Download or read book Imperial Benevolence written by Jane Samson and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1998-07-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful analysis of British imperialism in the south Pacific explores the impulses behind British calls for the protection and "improvement" of islanders. From kingmaking projects in Hawaii, Tonga, and Fiji to the "antislavery" campaign against the labor trade in the Western pacific, the author examines the deeply subjective, cultural roots permeating Britons' attitudes toward Pacific Islanders. By teasing out the connections between those attitudes and the British humanitarian and antislavery movements, Imperial Benevolence reminds us that nineteenth-century Britain was engaged in a global campaign for "Christianization and Civilization."

Book Synopsis A History of Australian Optometry by : Barry Cole
Download or read book A History of Australian Optometry written by Barry Cole and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good vision is essential to just about everything we do but not everyone has naturally good vision.Modern technology and modern optometry can do much to restore normal vision and preventblindness, yet globally 40 million people are blind and another 250 million have severe vision loss.Even in Australia, a wealthy country with a good health system, 70,000 Australians are legally blindand some 300,000 have low vision. It is a global public heath challenge to reduce these numbers.This book takes the reader through the early history of optometry, from the invention of spectaclesin Italy in the late 14th century, through the evolution of systematic sight testing beginning in the17th century and how this got its solid scientifi c foundations in the 18th and 19th centuries.When Australia was fi rst settled by Europeans, spectacles were bought in general stores andselected by trial and error, but by 1830 there were opticians who tested sight. They got betterat doing so and began calling themselves optometrists at the turn of century. They battled thetyranny of distance at a time when scientifi c advances were taking place in Europe and Americaand it took three months to travel to England. Australian optometrists kept good pace with whatwas happening in those countries: they beat the tyranny of distance.They engaged in political battles to win recognition and legislation to regulate their professionand improve its educational standards. There were battles glorious, some won and some lost.They faced hostility from a medical profession that wanted to lay claim to all things to do withhealth, to the exclusion or subordination of others. It took time and effort but the two ophthalmicprofessions, optometry and ophthalmology, found a rapprochement, at times still an uneasy one,but they now work cooperatively, making best use of their respective skills for the benefi t ofpatients. This book tells a fascinating story of the evolution of an important aspect of health carein Australia, and does so in the context of changing technology and a changing society.
