Serving Native American Students
Author: Mary Jo Tippeconnic Fox
Publisher: Jossey-Bass
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
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.

Rodent Malaria
Author: R. Killick-Kendrick
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323150578
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
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.

A Bad Peace and a Good War
Author: Mark Santiago
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806162724
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
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.”

A History of Australian Optometry
Author: Barry Cole
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780646937922
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
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.
