Handbook of Research on Character and Leadership Development in Military Schools

Author: Ryan, Mark Patrick
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799866378
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 372

Book Description
Military academies have served youth for more than a century with proud traditions of producing graduates who are scholars, leaders, and athletes who adhere to a code of honor and ethical principles as they take the knowledge, skills, and dispositions gained at those academies into higher education, the business world, military service, civic endeavors, and the broader workforce. There is a current gap and need for research that explores the various components of a K-20 military school/college education and how those components successfully produce leaders of character for our military, civic, academic, and business worlds both in the United States and abroad. The Handbook of Research on Character and Leadership Development in Military Schools synthesizes research on the impact of military academies by providing a singular compendium of current academic studies on the graduates of military academies and the communities of which they enter after graduation. The chapters will explore the academics, leadership, character development, citizenship, athletics, and other dimensions of both global and national, and both private and public, military academies. This book is ideal for current leaders, staffs, governing board members, and alumni of military academies both in the United States and internationally along with policymakers, government officials, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the implications of character and leadership development on individuals enrolled in or graduated from military schools.

The Book of Archives and Other Stories from the Mora Valley, New Mexico

Author: A. Gabriel Meléndez
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806158638
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 249

Book Description
In the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, New Mexico’s Mora Valley harbors the ghosts of history: troubadours and soldiers, Plains Indians and settlers, families fleeing and finding home. There, more than a century ago, villagers collect scraps of paper documenting the valley’s history and their identity—military records, travelers’ diaries, newspaper articles, poetry, and more—and bind them into a leather portfolio known as “The Book of Archives.” When a bomb blast during the Mexican-American War scatters the book’s contents to the wind, the memory of the accounts lives on instead in the minds of Mora residents. Poets and storytellers pass down the valley’s traditions into the twentieth century, from one generation to the next. In this pathbreaking dual-language volume, author A. Gabriel Meléndez joins their ranks, continuing the retelling of Mora Valley’s tales for our time. A native of Mora with el don de la palabra, the divine gift of words, Meléndez mines historical sources and his own imagination to reconstruct the valley’s story, first in English and then in Spanish. He strings together humorous, tragic, and quotidian vignettes about historical events and unlikely occurrences, creating a vivid portrait of Mora, both in cultural memory and present reality. Local gossip and family legend intertwine with Spanish-language ballads and the poetry of New Mexico’s most famous dueling troubadours, Old Man Vilmas and the poet García. Drawing on New Mexican storytelling tradition, Meléndez weaves a colorful dual-language representation of a place whose irresistible characters and unforgettable events, and the inescapable truths they embody, still resonate today.

Breaking Free

Author: Christi Ahl
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504387228
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 55

Book Description
It was at six years old that Spirit first appeared to Christi. Fear gripped her life from a young age, and Spirit wasnt the only thing scaring her. She knew that not everyone saw Spirit the way she did, and without direction and support, she refused Spirits call until she was twenty-three years old. The only answer was to embrace her true calling as a psychic visionary, medium, and healer. With life taking her to various locations, it was often difficult to make new friends and start over. The one constant has always been for her to discover insightful ways to help people. Nothing would prepare her for her toughest work in the criminal justice field as a probation and parole officer. Riddled with anxiety, depression, and a lack of boundaries as an empath, she knew she could no longer ignore her divine purpose and continue in the criminal justice field. After years of providing inspiration, instruction, and advice to others, it has culminated in Breaking Free: From Probation Officer to Psychic Medium. Christis message is to help us understand that by listening to our own divine guidance and understanding our fear and anxiety, we can all live the amazing lives our soul knows from birth.
