the difference between violence and abuse
There is a crucial differences between male and female domestic violence. If a man isn't afraid of a woman's violence, it's not abuse. Fear is a defining factor. Abuse is systematically controlling another person through intimidation and control in a sadly self-defeating attempt to get needs met. An abuser believe violence is justified in achieving this. Non-abusers may flip out sometimes, ...

Taking On the Quislings
Whoooee!! What a bodacious book. Writers of fiction, who write didactically (which Matthew Bracken does in spades), can change the paradigms of history in a big way. And god knows, we need to change the political paradigm of America in a major way. If this novel is read widely, it could be just such a paradigm shifting vehicle. It is a powerful story with very endearing characters, ...

It's been going on 12 years since I escaped my abuser. I'm back to school now, working on a social work degree. I want to help others in ways I wanted to be helped back then. While researching material for a research paper on domestic violence I happened across this book. It came to me, along with several others, from the library, borrowed for research. From the moment I picked it up and ...

Assouline
, 2008
Holly Moore is editor-in-chief and co-owner, with her husband Jim Kastleman, of PaperCity magazine in Dallas and Houston, a bold, oversized monthly that has become widly and irrationally known throughout the United States. Its eccentric, smart and witty features fairly sparkle. We think the words emblazoned on the delivery vans sum it up nicely: PaperCity - Deeply Shallow. PaperCity s home design pages celebrate, shall we say, the more sublime, ...

Still useful in its fifth edition
James McCormick and the late Eugene Wittkopf assembled an extremely information set of perspectives on the framework and practices of U.S. foreign policy during the past two administrations. The best of the material are causal analyses of classic foreign policy decisions ranging from our entry into Vietnam to advocacy of the post-USSR expansion of NATO. Many of the articles added in more recent ...

Outstanding Prayer Book
Over the years we have bought about 15 copies of this book. Others see us using it and ask to borrow it. Of course it never returns. We have used it for many occasions and have alwsys found the right prayer. Most of all it lives up to its' title "Prayers for the Domestic Church". I recommend it without reservation.

Highly readable, very informative
This is probably my favorite book on U.S. social history. While academic, it's written in a very readable style. The authors make the history of American families extremely interesting, and they shatter some of our more romantic cultural myths. I referred to this book when I wrote my master's thesis on the U.S. household economy of the 1930s during the Great Depression. My first ancestors in this ...

This is an wonderful book, it is a serious read, but it is quite worth it. The real cost of freedom, what does it mean to you, Matthew Bracken knows and he does an excellent job in unfolding it in story form, a pleasure to read. I was not one bit disappointed with a single word written within these pages, it is a shame that this book is virtually non existant in Canada! Thank goodness for ...

Interesting info.
I ususally just read erotica books about this lifestle, which I am very fond of. (Eager To Please has to be one of my favs.) Anyway, when I came across this book, I was curious and have to say, it left me with my mouth hanging open a few times! However, it was very interesting, to say the least, and a MUST read for anyone who is thinking of this sort of lifestyle.
A Typology of Domestic Violence: Intimate Terrorism, Violent Resistance, and Situational Couple Violence ...
Michael P. Johnson
Northeastern
, 2008
Domestic violence, a serious and far-reaching social problem, has generated two key debates among researchers. The first debate is about gender and domestic violence. Some scholars argue that domestic violence is primarily male-perpetrated, others that women are as violent as men in intimate relationships. Johnson's response to this debate--and the central theme of this book--is that there is more than one type of intimate partner violence. Some ...

The 'MUST Read' for law enforcement intelligence students
Jonathan R. White's Defending the Homeland: Domestic Intelligence, Law Enforcement, and Security is the book I assign as the keystone text for a Law Enforcement Intelligence course. It is a `must read' because it correctly portrays intelligence as both art and science, deeply rooted in action-making tangible things happen, getting real things done-by reducing warfare to its simplest level and ...

An Ambitious Field Guide to Domestic Architecture
Although the illustrations in this book are not as beautiful as the ones in Lester Walker's "American Homes", this book is very ambitious in its presentations. Many field guides to American homes concentrate solely on identifying a style. Usually, there are only a few brief descriptions of the architectural details that help define a style. What makes "The Visual Diction of American Domestic ...
