Excerpt from The Coraddi, Vol. 24: Magazine of the North Carolina College, Greensboro, N. C.; October The age of a tree is told by the number of its rings; and as each year's layer of green wood is added the inner layers become more compact and firm. So each year in the history of our college is marked by a broadening-out and by an inner development. It is apparent that last year's ring was a broad one for we begin this year with a number of advantages which last year could not show. We have a fine new dormitory a spacious wing to McIver, wide cement pavements in place of narrow board walks, new combination post office boxes, a hamdsome roomy office for the registrar, a beautiful new grand piano, a splendid college newspaper and a large number of new faculty. Let us be as worthy as we are proud of our new possessions, and perhaps this year's ring will even excede last year's. College spirit is invisible and intangible but it should be in everything we think and do. If we had the proper college spirit our attitude toward each other the faculty, and the college would never be subject to petty rules because we would rise above them and they would no longer be necessary. The substitution of a bigger, finer college spirit for rules and regulations would not mean freedom to do the things prohibited by our present laws but it would mean self-restraint and active work for the welfare of the college, not because the "Handbook says so" or "a Board member might see us" but because wherever we go we represent the North Carolina College for Women and we can make or mar its reputation.

Excerpt from The Coraddi, Vol. 24: Magazine of the North Carolina College; February-March, 1920 The store window at which little Johnny Edwards had stopped was in deed a brilliant sight with its heart shaped candies and its walls covered with valentines of many shapes and colors. Some were large red paper hearts pierced with silver arrows; some were bleeding hearts; some were deco rated with many little cupids; some were cut in the shape Of little boys and girls. And as one would always suppose, there were others on which were painted many funny Old maids and ugly Old bachelors. The valentine which held Johnny's eye, however, was far more beautiful than the rest in his Opinion. It was cut in the Shape of a little boy and girl, holding between them a large red heart on which was written You are my valentine. Johnny knew that was what the reading was because he had just had that in his reading lesson the day before.

Excerpt from The Coraddi, Vol. 36: October, 1931 When you were seven and chubby and trudging manfully around with your big brother and the freckle-faced boy next door who had two white rats, and they D-double dared you to Steal a copper penny off of the top limb on the cherry tree, you did it - didn't you? You drew yourself up to your seven-year - old height and proudly clambered up the trunk. You were afraid not to take a D-double dare even though the limbs wiggled and the ground was a mile below. But after it was all over and you shakily came back to earth, a great satisfaction took the place of fear. The picture changes now; you are older, far more worldly-wise, no longer impulsive and alert, yet a dare should appeal to that latent Streak of adventure which lies beneath the veneer of your sophistication.

Clumsy stereotypes of the Romani and Travellers communities abound, not only culturally in programmes such as Big Fat Gypsy Weddings, but also amongst educators, social workers, administrators and the medical profession. Gypsy cultures are invariably presented as ruled by tradition and machismo. Women are presented as helpless victims, especially when it comes to gendered forms of violence. The reality, however, is much more complicated. In Gypsy Feminism, Laura Corradi demonstrates how Romaphobia – racist and anti-Gypsy rhetoric and prejudice, pervading every level of society – has led to a situation where Romani communities face multiple discrimination. In this context, the empowerment of women and girls becomes still more difficult: until recently, for example, women have largely remained silent about domestic violence in order to protect their communities, which are already under attack. Examining feminist research and action within Romani communities, Corradi demonstrates the importance of an intersectional approach in order to make visible the combination of racism and sexism that Gypsy women face every day. This concise and authoritative book will appeal to scholars and students in the areas of Sociology, Cultural Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies and Anthropology, as well as Politics, Media Studies, Social Policy, and Social Work. It is also an invaluable resource for activists, community and social service workers, and policymakers.

Asthma remains a serious health concern for millions of people globally. Despite continuing research interest, there have been few advancements that impact clinically on patient care, potentially because asthma has been treated as a homogeneous entity, rather than the heterogeneous condition it is. This book introduces cutting-edge research, which targets specific phenotypes of asthma, highlighting the differences that are present within this disease, and the varying approaches that are utilized to understand it.
This four-volume collection of over 140 original chapters covers virtually everything of interest to demographers, sociologists, and others. Over 100 authors present population subjects in ways that provoke thinking and lead to the creation of new perspectives, not just facts and equations to be memorized. The articles follow a theory-methods-applications approach and so offer a kind of "one-stop shop" that is well suited for students and professors who need non-technical summaries, such as political scientists, public affairs specialists, and others. Unlike shorter handbooks, Demography: Analysis and Synthesis offers a long overdue, thorough treatment of the field. Choosing the analytical method that fits the data and the situation requires insights that the authors and editors of Demography: Analysis and Synthesis have explored and developed. This extended examination of demographic tools not only seeks to explain the analytical tools themselves, but also the relationships between general population dynamics and their natural, economic, social, political, and cultural environments. Limiting themselves to human populations only, the authors and editors cover subjects that range from the core building blocks of population change--fertility, mortality, and migration--to the consequences of demographic changes in the biological and health fields, population theories and doctrines, observation systems, and the teaching of demography. The international perspectives brought to these subjects is vital for those who want an unbiased, rounded overview of these complex, multifaceted subjects. Topics to be covered: * Population Dynamics and the Relationship Between Population Growth and Structure * The Determinants of Fertility * The Determinants of Mortality * The Determinants of Migration * Historical and Geographical Determinants of Population * The Effects of Population on Health, Economics, Culture, and the Environment * Population Policies * Data Collection Methods and Teaching about Population Studies * All chapters share a common format * Each chapter features several cross-references to other chapters * Tables, charts, and other non-text features are widespread * Each chapter contains at least 30 bibliographic citations
