A Small Contribution


Book Description

“What is a great man who has made his mark upon history? Every time, if we think far enough, he is a man who has looked through the confusion of the moment and has seen the moral issue involved; he is a man who has refused to have his sense of justice distorted; he has listened to his conscience until conscience becomes a trumpet call to like-minded men so that they gather about him, and together, with mutual purpose and mutual aid, they make a new period in history” ( Jane Addams, 1860–1935). This is a quote from Jane Addams, the great American settlement activist, reformer, public administrator, and author who was born in 1860 in Cedarville, Illinois, and died in 1935 in Chicago, Illinois. She is without a doubt one of the most important leaders in the history of social work. Her twenty years at Hull House are a testimony of her service to those segments of our population that were in dire need for assistance. Social workers all over our land are carrying her torch in the search of truth and knowledge. We feel most honored to be the heirs of this great tradition of service. We as a nation are beginning to value the importance of trained social workers to intervene following a crisis. A Small Contribution: Memoirs of a Social Worker is both an inspiration and a tool for those men and women in the trenches, heirs of the legacy of the founders of the social work profession.

Although the contribution is a small word to hear but its meanings are very deep to understand.

Contributing is not a difficult task, it is a simple mindset that motivates and enables us to change our lifestyle to contribute some of our time, money, or resources to the lives of others. Because often what happens to us, at first we don't even think about contributing, we don't know why we should contribute, why we should do something good for society, why we should help others. And even if we realize it and make up our minds to do something, then we are unable to find the right way to contribute according to our abilities and resources. So this book introduces us to many reasons around the world for which our different contributions can make a difference. Because there are so many issues in society such as poverty, natural disasters, discrimination that affect basic human needs like food, clothing, shelter, education, etc. so through this book, we will be able to explore different ways by which We can help those in need and those who have been affected for some reason, Whether it's someone in our family, someone we love, our neighbor, a citizen of our nation, or anyone in the world, we can make their lives a little better by contributing. This book also highlights some of the major evils of our society that are making our world very dirty and how we can get rid of these evils and raise our voice against them. After reading this book we can realize that not only a big contribution can make a big difference in the world, even our small contribution can make a big difference. If we think we have a lack of resources that’s why we are unable to contribute, then that is not true, there is only one thing we need that is a positive mind set by which we can contribute and devote ourselves anytime. So hopefully this book will help all of us to see the world differently and make us able to find the real purpose of our life that will give us a life fulfillment and we would become capable to give back to the society. In addition to this, there are many other ways to contribute and there are other social issues that need to be considered that are not covered in this edition due to some limitations, but hopefully they will definitely be considered in next editions.




A Time for Metabolism and Hormones


Book Description

Recent years have seen spectacular advances in the field of circadian biology. These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields, including endocrinology, neurosciences, cancer, and behavior. By integrating a circadian view within the fields of endocrinology and metabolism, researchers will be able to reveal many, yet-unsuspected aspects of how organisms cope with changes in the environment and subsequent control of homeostasis. This field is opening new avenues in our understanding of metabolism and endocrinology. A panel of the most distinguished investigators in the field gathered together to discuss the present state and the future of the field. The editors trust that this volume will be of use to those colleagues who will be picking up the challenge to unravel how the circadian clock can be targeted for the future development of specific pharmacological strategies toward a number of pathologies.










Democracy by the People


Book Description

Thanks to a series of recent US Supreme Court decisions, corporations can now spend unlimited sums to influence elections, Super PACs and dark money groups are flourishing, and wealthy individuals and special interests increasingly dominate American politics. Despite the overwhelming support of Americans to fix this broken system, serious efforts at reform have languished. Campaign finance is a highly intricate and complex area of the law, and the current system favors the incumbent politicians who oversee it. This illuminating book takes these hard realities as a starting point and offers realistic solutions to reform campaign finance. With contributions from more than a dozen leading scholars of election law, it should be read by anyone interested in reclaiming the promise of American democracy.

Daylight Design of Buildings


Book Description

To complement the critical and objective view gleaned from the study of some sixty buildings, this design manual has been developed to provide a more synthetic approach to the principles which lie behind successful daylight design. These principles are illustrated with examples drawn from the case study buildings. The emphasis throughout has been on practical methods to improve design, rather than techniques studied for any intrinsic interest. The book provides the necessary tools to assist the designer to provide well daylit interiors, and shows that good daylight design is not a restriction on architectural expression but, on the contrary, acts as an inspiration and foundation for good architecture.
