Book Description
The public perception concerning adoption of abandoned children has changed over the years from a belief that love would solve all problems to a fear that any child who had spent significant time in an orphanage was irreparably damaged. Neither sentiment is true. The social upheaval in Eastern Europe during the early 1990s left many children orphaned and living in deplorable conditions in orphanages. Many Americans rushed to adopt some of these children but in some cases, the challenges proved to be too great and some of these adoptive parents ended up killing the very children they wanted to help. Using her family's experiences and her knowledge as a child and family psychlogist, the author tries to shed some light on the many sides of international adoption.

Author: Ian W. Toll
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company

Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
"A fluent, intelligent history...give[s] the reader a feel for the human quirks and harsh demands of life at sea."—New York Times Book Review Before the ink was dry on the U.S. Constitution, the establishment of a permanent military became the most divisive issue facing the new government. The founders—particularly Jefferson, Madison, and Adams—debated fiercely. Would a standing army be the thin end of dictatorship? Would a navy protect from pirates or drain the treasury and provoke hostility? Britain alone had hundreds of powerful warships. From the decision to build six heavy frigates, through the cliff-hanger campaign against Tripoli, to the war that shook the world in 1812, Ian W. Toll tells this grand tale with the political insight of Founding Brothers and the narrative flair of Patrick O'Brian.
