(When Joe "Torchy" Torchia, the last of Sacramento's legen...)
When Joe "Torchy" Torchia, the last of Sacramento's legendary great gamblers, died in a hail of bullets in 1970, an era died with him. In his day, "The Torch" was many things to many people.To the denizens of the back rooms and back alleys of Sacramento, he was a shrewd bet maker and bookie. To the tax collectors, he was a scofflaw who perpetually evaded their grasp. To the casino owners of Lake Tahoe, he was a high roller to be put up in high style. To patrons of his Buggy Whip Restaurant, he was an affable host who knew good food and good times. To his female admirers, he was a smooth-talking sharp dresser with looks to die for. To his children and step-children, he was an affectionate and indulgent father. To many observers, he was an embodiment of the American dream-a son of Italian immigrants who ended up in a manor house, complete with acreage and horse stables. To scores of Sacremento's social throw-aways, he was a generous benefactor whose anonymous gifts always came at unexpected times and places.To the police, he was-and is-a cold case file. But to Tony Tripodi, Joe Torchia was only one thing: his big brother. Here, in a unique blend of childhood adoration tempered with adult perspective, the author tells the story of Torchy's life and death. It is the story of a man who defied simplistic characterization-a man the likes of which Sacramento will not see again.

(With the constant exchange of international information n...)
With the constant exchange of international information now a permanent condition in the world, social work scholars and students must be sensitive to the need for knowledge sharing between countries as well as to issues involved in obtaining and utilizing international knowledge. Yet until now, no book has juxtaposed these two growing streams of emphasis. In this clearly written volume, Tony Tripodi and Miriam Potocky-Tripodi fill that gap, presenting readers with the many prospects and great potential for international social work research. The authors establish three discrete varieties of research supra-national, intra-national, and trans-national and explore a wealth of issues and examples within each. The easy-to-follow format helps readers learn how to define and distinguish each kind of research, then provides actual applications of all three. Examples draw on research from the world over, and range from microcredit programs in India to migrant aid in Nicaragua to adoptees in Romania. These unique features make it an ideal sequel to basic research texts in social work and supplement to texts on international social work, but also an attractive addition to any faculty researchers bookshelf.

This volume has long been an invaluable resource for students and practitioners of social work. It thoroughly and clearly presents research concepts and skills, uniquely organizing them according to assessment and treatment formulation, treatment implementation and monitoring, and evaluation. Also, numerous practice cases and detailed exercises offer a complete grasp of crucial concepts and techniques. This new edition reflects contemporary developments in practice research, such as an emphasis on empirical or evidence-based practice; the importance of evaluation within the managed-care environment; the role of social work ethics in practice research; the value of qualitative research methodology for particular aspects of monitoring and evaluation; and the role of computer technology and the use of the Internet.

When we bask in the sun, tanning on the shore, we dream and think of our fondest desires away from the beach. Love and Hope by the Sea is a collection of original poems inspired by the moods of people who dream and walk by the sea. The poems are about sadness and joy, ranging from frivolous observations to the mystery of religion in our lives. Above all, they are about hope and the promise of love, yearnings by the sea.

(My Cane and I: A Memoir of a Disability, by Tony Tripodi,...)
My Cane and I: A Memoir of a Disability, by Tony Tripodi, a retired university professor, is a personal journey of one man?s struggle in using a cane to ward off arthritis. He shares his fears and anxieties about old age and the perceptions that we have about cane users. Poignant, hilarious, tragi-comical, and amusing anecdotes are presented to depict human foibles in the cane world: the window washer who wishes to retire but can?t stand his wife; the lady who had hip surgery, limps, and is proud she doesn?t need to use a cane; an unexpected adventure with an acupuncturist; three men who call themselves the cane set; and many more real and imaginary episodes captured in brief vignettes.
