Plague thieves / by Fernandez, Caroline(Blogger),author.(CARDINAL)857407;
"Rose must survive the plague. That is the objective her dying father gives twelve-year-old Rose and her brother, Lem, as he sends them away from their home. In the year 1665, London is overpopulated and still growing while a plague runs rampant through its households. Ever resourceful, Rose manages to find hope in new friends who help each other steal the essentials to survive the cruel streets of London. But Rose also has something that may help them survive the plague. She has her father's last creation: a medicinal oil blend that could protect people against the sickness. As word about the orphan who possesses the secret to surviving the plague spreads to the city's network of thieves, the special oil becomes both a blessing and a curse."--

The bone and sinew of the land : America's forgotten black pioneers & the struggle for equality / by Cox, Anna-Lisa,author.(CARDINAL)474325;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Life, liberty" -- Interlude -- "The pursuit of happiness" -- "To secure the blessings of liberty." -- "To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just -- Powers from the consent of the governed." -- "To provide new guards for their future security" -- "The right of the people to peaceably assemble." -- "For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering -- Fundamentally the forms of our governments" -- "A history of repeated injuries and usurpations." -- Conclusion."The American frontier is one of our most cherished and enduring national images. We think of the early settlers who tamed the wilderness and built the bones of our great country as courageous, independent--and white. In this groundbreaking work of deep historical research, Anna-Lisa Cox shows that this history simply isn't accurate. In fact, she has found a stunning number of black settlements on the frontier--in the thousands. Though forgotten today, these homesteads were a matter of national importanceat the time; their mere existence challenged rationalizations for slavery and pushed the question toward a crisis--one that was not resolved until the eruption of the Civil War. Blending meticulous detail with lively storytelling, Cox brings historical recognition to the brave people who managed not just to secure their freedom but begin a battle that is still going on today--a battle for equality."--Provided by publisher.

The government-industrial complex : the true size of the federal government, 1984-2018 / by Light, Paul Charles,author.(CARDINAL)159068; Volcker, Paul A.,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)136641;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-213) and index.A warning renewed -- The true size of government -- Pressures on the dividing line -- A proper blending -- Conclusion : the next-gen public service.The Government-Industrial Complex explores the recent history and impact of the federal government's blended workforce of federal, contract, and grant employees. Drawing upon Dwight D. Eisenhower's description of the military-industrial complex, government-reform expert Paul Light argues that the federal government now depends on seven-nine million full-time-equivalent government-industry employees. Light's analysis examines changes in the size of the government-industrial complex, explains the federal government's dependence on contract and grant employees, and explores potential reforms to protect the nation against what Eisenhower called the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power. Light chronicles the role of hiring caps, cuts, and freezes in promoting the use of contract and grant employees and shows the impact of war and peace on the changing size of government. Light offers short histories of the role that Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama played in the changing number and distribution of the federal government's federal, contract, and grant employees. Light also discusses the Trump administration's early strategies on downsizing and deconstructing government while describing the demographic, bureaucratic, and political problems that explain the federal government's dependence on contract and grant employees. He then describes a sorting system for assuring that the right employees are in the right jobs to assure the greatest value and accountability, and he concludes with a description of the "next gen" public service needed to achieve the more perfect union and blessings of liberty promised in the Constitution's preamble.
