Self-help organizations and charities were the most numerous, but least-studied of pressure groups to emerge during perestroika . This book examines the social exclusion experienced before 1985 by non-working citizens, studies the pre-1985 disabled people's movement and its numerous unofficial, but non-dissident organizations, discusses why the Gorbachev leadership adopted the non-Soviet concept of 'charity', analyses the failure of local authorities after 1985 to stave off pluralism and defeat the voluntary organizations, and assesses how successfully the latter built the foundations of a civil society.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

It's a glorious June morning in upstate New York and thirty-four-year-old Loren Graham, the recently elected mayor of sleepy little Emerald Point, has found the perfect spot on the Lake George shoreline for her morning run. Perfect, that is, until she encounters sixteen-year-old Todd Lewis, discovers a car submerged in the lake, and stumbles on a decomposing corpse. The body is quickly identified as Tammy Stevenson, a beautiful, promiscuous teenager, who's been missing for a year. Then tragedy strikes again. Another death. Attempted suicide or murder? No one knows for sure. But as a freak tornado slashes across a secluded campground on the Point, Loren learns how far a killer will go to cover up his crime.

Sun, Sailing and Murder. Preparations for Emerald Point's lucrative tourist season are well under way, but Mayor Loren Graham fears murder could be this year's major attraction. First, she finds a body in a locked display case of French and Indian War memorabilia-but it disappears before the authorities arrive. Next the community's most dedicated organizer, Madeline Hathaway, is found dead, pushed down the stone steps of her lakeside home. While suspicion falls to her husband, Loren used her connections to dig beyond the bucolic surface of a pretty town and much around in some sordid doing. Strangers appear with a surprising connection to the wealthy Madeline, and soon Loren is struggling to unravel a mystery of passion, deceit and murder, where innocent and guilty alike have secrets,...and too many questions can invoke a killer's wrath.

A study of the official policy toward cultural activities, emphasizing the pattern and degree of de-Stalinization, as an indication of changes in the overall society of the three countries.

This book examines a number of key questions about social change in contemporary Russia - issues such as how people survive when they are not paid for months on end, 'the New Poor', the falling birth rate, why so many Russian men die in middle age, whether regional identities are becoming stronger, and how people's sense of 'Russianness' has developed since the creation of the Russian Federation in 1992. It examines these issues by looking at actual experiences in three small Russian towns. It includes a great deal of original ethnographic research, and, by looking at real places overall, provides a good sense of how different aspects of social change are interlinked, and how they actually affect real people's lives.

The Master speaks to His disciples through the Word of God and through the inspiration of His Holy Spirit. He illumines our minds and encourages us through prophecies, through the word of Wisdom and the word of Knowledge. Some of these writings were given by Him to this listener early one morning as she entered into a particularly difficult chapter of life. They have been tested and found helpful in the laboratory of her life. They are shared with the prayer that others too may find strength for the day as they pause each morning to meditate on the selected Scriptures and to listen for the Voice of the Master through these prophecies.
