  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Social Upheaval and Social Change in England, 1381-1750 Author: Cooney, Sarah J. Year: 1974 The social, revolutionary upheavals that frequently exploded on the American scene during the past ten years provided a contemporary, if not sophisticated, framework for the teaching of English history to secondary students. The insights gained from this relational approach emphasized two specific issues during the eras in which England developed into a modern nation: (1) historical events set the stage for social dissatisfaction; and, (2) parliamentary actions reflected the awareness levels that gradually seeped into the social consciousness of the English politic. In isolation, five of these societal insurrections, the Peasant Revolt of 1381, the Ket Uprising in 1549, the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685 and the Jacobin Revolt of 1715 not only focused attention on the prevailing conditions in England at five particular periods of history, but insured a sufficient span of time, 369 years, for a more accurate analysis of revolutionary activity, of changes in legal practices and of an evolution in social consciousness.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: "Will My Baby Be Normal?": A History of Genetic Counseling in the United States, 1940-1970 Author: Turner, Adam Year: 2012 Genetic counselors today are at the forefront of helping clients interpret genetic information to help them make decisions, often about childbearing, based on testing and medical histories. Scholars of medicine, reproduction, and gender in the United States have traced the medicalization of pregnancy and interactions between parents and medical authorities. These works explore the interplay of medicine, society, and reproduction, but they do not address the history of genetic counseling. I argue that doctors and patients reciprocally shaped each other's thinking about reproduction in the mid-twentieth century. Parents' desires for normal, healthy children shaped the development of genetic counseling by motivating them to seek the services of genetic counselors. These prospective parents' expectations and desires had an outsized influence on the development of genetic counseling because counselors were sensitive to possible associations with eugenics and were careful not to tell parents what to do with the genetic information they provided.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Columbia River's fate in the twentieth century Author: Lang, William L. Year: 2000 Discusses the history of the Columbia River during the 20th century, emphasizing the image of the river as both a source of industry and an example of wild natural beauty. In 1933 the river was dammed to harness its power for hydroelectricity and control its unpredictable flooding. With the completion of the dams in the 1970's, however, came problems with the edenic vision of the river, especially with the annual salmon run. By the late 20th century, the salmon had all but disappeared, leading to an ongoing conflict between supporters of the dams and conservationists.
