Herbert Hoover: The Man and His Work

Vernon L. Kellogg's Herbert Hoover: The Man and His Work is an admiring yet documentary portrait of Hoover before the presidency, presenting him as engineer, organizer, and humanitarian administrator. Written in a lucid Progressive Era prose, the book emphasizes practical intelligence, moral efficiency, and public service, tracing Hoover's rise from mining engineer to leader of Belgian relief and American food conservation during the First World War. Its literary context is the early twentieth-century civic biography: less a private life than an account of character proven through public action. Kellogg was unusually well placed to write such a study. A distinguished Stanford biologist, educator, and public intellectual, he shared with Hoover both institutional connections and wartime administrative experience. His service in relief and food organizations gave him direct knowledge of the immense logistical and ethical pressures surrounding famine prevention, wartime scarcity, and international aid. These experiences shape the book's tone: informed, earnest, and convinced that competent organization could become a form of moral leadership. This volume is recommended to readers interested in Hoover before his later political controversies, as well as students of humanitarianism, Progressive reform, and wartime administration. It offers a valuable contemporary view of how Hoover's reputation was constructed around discipline, efficiency, and service.

De stem achter de muren

Hoe ziet het leven eruit achter de muren van de gevangenis? Hoe verloopt de communicatie? Welke hulpverleningsnoden zijn er? En wat zeggen personen in detentie zelf? De stem achter de muren geeft inzicht in welke noden er zijn op het vlak van hulp- en dienstverlening, samenwerking en communicatie in twee nieuwe gevangenissen. Je krijgt hierbij een blik achter de muren van de recent geopende gevangenissen van Haren en Dendermonde. Het boek toont je hoe mensen in detentie, personeel en externe onderzoekers sámen op zoek gingen naar manieren om beter in te spelen op de noden die in deze nieuwe gevangeniscontexten naar boven kwamen. Via Participatief Actieonderzoek werden noden zichtbaar gemaakt én omgezet in concrete acties.

"Garry Clement is a national treasure. He’s spent his life in service to Canada, and I guarantee he knows more about international organized crime, drug trafficking, money laundering and the state actors – China, Iran, Mexico, and Russia – who today pose a major national security threat to Canada. This book should be required reading by every politician and bureaucrat in Ottawa and everyone else who cares about the future of this country."
