Book Description
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases, 1918, Vol. 1 John S thirty-eight years of age; American born; shoe-worker; widower with eight children. This patient had used alcohol to excess for a short time, and this was an important factor in his case. Investi gation revealed the fact that inadequate income and sickness had made it impossible for this patient to supply his family with sufficient food. He frequently went to work without food, substituting a breakfast with a glass of beer. Loneliness, discouragement, inadequate income and sickness were the real needs in this man's case. The house in which he and his family lived was in the midst of a saloon district; the rooms, six in number, were small, meagerly furnished and extremely untidy. Sanitary conditions were far below the standard; five children were sleeping in one small attic room; the eldest, a boy of nineteen years, was tubercular in appearance and complained of ill health. A daughter of sixteen years was acting as housekeeper, had received no training and had left school at fourteen years of age to help at home. This little flock of motherless children, whose father was a patient at the hospital, was supported by the small wages received by the two elder boys, aver ag'ng about $12 a week, of which went to a relative for rent, an exorbitant rent for value received. The inadvisability of returning a patient to these conditions is very obvious. The family was advised to move, and guidance and financial assistance were secured to enable them to do so. A friend promised to see that patient secured work when able to leave the hospital. Urgent appeals are being made for a middle-aged woman to keep house and help in the training and care of the younger children. The family is now living in a new, comfortable tenement in a good neighborhood; they are united and happy. Frequent home visiting will be necessary for some time, for this is an example of recon structive work previously mentioned.

Book Description
American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.

Book Description
Lenin's most important and controversial theoretical text Lenin’s booklet The State and Revolution struck the world of Marxist theory like a lightning bolt. Written in the months running up to the October Revolution of 1917, Lenin turned the traditional socialist concept of the state on its head, arguing for the need to smash the organs of the bourgeois state to create a ‘semi-state’ of soviets, or workers’ councils, in which ordinary people would take on the functions of the state machine in a new and radically democratic manner. This new edition includes a substantial introduction by renowned theorist Antonio Negri, who argues for the continued relevance of these ideas.
