Captive City Meditations on Slavery in the Urban South

Jennie Lightweis-Goff, "Captive City: Meditations on Slavery in the Urban South"
English | ISBN: 1512826685 | 2024 | 224 pages | EPUB | 14 MB
Explores the legacies of slavery in Southern cities along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts

Cities are fraught sites in the national imagination, turned into identity markers when "urban" and "rural" indicate tastes rather than places. Cities bring chaos, draining the lifeblood of the nation like a tick draws blood from its host, to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson's anti-urban polemics, which might have been written during any election year―centuries or months ago. Racism and anti-urbanism were born conjoined during the Revolution. Like their Atlantic coastal counterparts in the US North, Southern cities ―similarly polyglot and cosmopolitan―resist the dominant, mutually inclusive prejudices of the nation that fails to contain them on its eroding, flooding coasts.

Carbon Related Materials: Commemoration for Nobel Laureate Professor Suzuki Special Symposium at IUMRS-ICAM2017 by Satoru Kaneko
English | EPUB | 2021 | 397 Pages | ISBN : 9811576092 | 107.2 MB
This book commemorates the "Nobel Laureate Professor Suzuki Special Symposium" at the International Union of Material Research Society-International Conference on Advanced Materials (IUMRS-ICAM2017), which was held at Kyoto University, Japan, in 2017.

The book begins with a foreword by Professor Akira Suzuki. Subsequently, many authors who attended the special symposium describe the latest scientific advances in the field of carbon materials and carbon nanomaterials including polymers, carbon nanocomposites, and graphene. Carbon-based materials have recently been the focus of considerable attention, given their wide range of potential applications. Fittingly, the chapters in this book cover both experimental and theoretical approaches in several categories of carbon-related materials.

Care-Paket & Co. Von der Liebesgabe zum Westpaket

Care-Paket & Co.: Von der Liebesgabe zum Westpaket By Volker Ilgen
2008 | 142 Pages | ISBN: 3896783440 | EPUB | 1 MB
Angesichts nahezu täglich sich ereignender Katastrophen in aller Welt ist humanitäre Hilfe zu einem großen Thema geworden. Und fast vergisst man, dass Deutschland keineswegs nur Absender, sondern auch Empfänger von Hilfspaketen war. Volker Ilgen erzählt die Geschichte von ganz besonderen Paketen, die das Alltagsleben fast jedes und jeder Deutschen in gar nicht allzu ferner Vergangenheit berührt haben. Gemeint sind: das Liebesgaben-Paket zu Kriegszeiten, das CARE-Paket aus den USA in der Nachkriegszeit und das West-Paket in die DDR sowie deren "Derivate" wie das Front-Paket in die Heimat während des Zweiten Weltkriegs, Hilfsgüter-Sendungen aus anderen Ländern als den USA nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg oder das Propaganda-Paket aus der DDR in die Bundesrepublik. Alle diese "Spezial-Pakete" spiegeln ein Stück Zeitgeschichte. Und sie werfen ein eigenes Licht auf Absender, Empfänger und (staatliche) Initiatoren. So wird hier beispielsweise auch staatliche Propaganda greifbar. Volker Ilgenlegt mit seiner "Paket"-Geschichte einen sozialpolitisch spannenden Längsschnitt durch das 20. Jahrhundert.

Carrier Communication over Power Lines

Carrier Communication over Power Lines by Heinrich-Karl Podszeck
English | PDF | 1972 | 190 Pages | ISBN : 364246288X | 19 MB
Carrier communication over power lines, like carrier traffic over postal lines, has a tradition of about 50 years. It has become a vital element in electric system operation. Being restricted to power networks, it has a comparatively limited scope. Nevertheless, great efforts are being ex to keep pace with the demands made pended on technical advancement of both power and communication engineering. As in previous editions of this book, it is endeavored in the fourth edition to familiarize the man in the field with the fundamental concepts on which this technique and its practical application are based. The physical and electrical characteristics of the equipment involved are de scribed in a general way. For the sake of clarity, the author has refrained from giving a detailed account or illustrations of special versions, espe cially as the differences between the equipment supplied by the various manufacturers are so small. This is due to the use of transistors instead of tubes and to the universally adopted plug-in module construction technique. In the load dispatching plants of power supply networks, tele metering systems are turning more and more to data engineering methods and equipment to lighten the task of network management. Consequently, at certain points in the text, topics concerning remote data processing are treated, emphasis being placed on transmission channels operating at a considerably higher speed than was usual 10 years ago.

Stackpole Books | 2007 | ISBN: 081173398X | English | 340 pages | PDF | 84.64 MB
The aircraft carrier revolutionized warfare, allowing fleets to launch fighters and engage each other over great distances. World War II witnessed the carrier's heyday as swarms of American Wildcats and Hellcats and Japanese Zeroes catapulted from flight decks to attack enemy ships and planes at battles like Midway and Leyte Gulf. Since then, as the more modest vessels of World War II grew into nuclear-powered supercarriers, these giant warships have served as floating airstrips in conflicts around the globe, from Korea and Vietnam to the Falklands and Desert Storm.

Cartels at War Mexico's Drug-Fueled Violence and the Threat to U.S. National Security

Paul Rexton Kan, "Cartels at War: Mexico's Drug-Fueled Violence and the Threat to U.S. National Security"
English | ISBN: 1597977071 | 2012 | 208 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB
Now in its sixth year, the conflict in Mexico is a mosaic of several wars occurring at once: cartels battle one another, cartels suffer violence within their own organizations, cartels fight against the Mexican state, cartels and gangs wage war against the Mexican people, and gangs combat gangs. The war has killed more than 60,000 people since President Felipe Calderón began cracking down on the cartels in December 2006. The targets of the violence have been wide ranging-from police officers to journalists, from clinics to discos.

Governments on either side of the U.S.- Mexican border have been unable to control the violence. The war has spilled over into American cities and affects domestic policy issues ranging from immigration to gun control, making the border the nexus of national security and public safety concerns.
Drawing on fieldwork along the border and interviews with officials at the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Office of National Drug Control Policy, the Department of Defense, U.S. Border Patrol, and Mexican military officers, Paul Rexton Kan argues that policy responses must be carefully calibrated to prevent stoking more cartel violence, to cut the incentives to smuggle drugs into the United States, and to stop the erosion of Mexican governmental capacity.

Caruso and Tetrazzini On the Art of Singing (Dover Books On Music Voice)

Caruso and Tetrazzini On the Art of Singing (Dover Books On Music: Voice) By Enrico Caruso, Luisa Tetrazzini
2016 | 71 Pages | ISBN: 0486231402 | EPUB | 1 MB
The Cherry Orchard (Dover Thrift Editions: Plays)The Cherry Orchard was first produced by the Moscow Art Theatre on Chekhov's last birthday, January 17, 1904. Since that time it has become one of the most critically admired and performed plays in the Western world, a high comedy whose principal theme, the passing of the old semifeudal order, is symbolized in the sale of the cherry orchard owned by Madame Ranevsky.The play also functions as a magnificent showcase for Chekhov's acute observations of his characters' foibles and for quizzical ruminations on the approaching dissolution of the world of the Russian aristocracy and life as it was lived on their great country estates. While the subject and the characters of the work are, in a sense, timeless, the dramatic technique of the play was a Chekhovian innovation. In this and other plays he developed the concept of "indirect action," in which the dramatic action takes place off stage and the significance of the play revolves around the reactions of the characters to those unseen events.Reprinted from a standard edition, this inexpensive well-made volume invites any lover of theater or great literature to enter the world of Madame Ranevsky, Anya, Gayef, Lopakhin, Firs, and the other memorable characters whose hopes, fears, loves, and general humanity are so brilliantly depicted in this landmark of world drama.

Case Studies in Special Education A Social Justice Perspective

Case Studies in Special Education: A Social Justice Perspective By Tera Torres, Catherine R. Barber
2017 | 186 Pages | ISBN: 0398091730 | PDF | 1 MB
Special education law and practice have undergone profound transformation over the past 50 years. Students with disabilities are now more likely to receive a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment possible; however, the ideals of the law have not always been manifested in effective practice. Although special education services are vastly better today than they were in the early years of public education, current policies and practices continue to result in the under-education of many children with disabilities. This book illustrates key failures of the system within the context of real children's experiences. The case study approach gives voice to the students, families, and educators who have been let down by the special education process. The goal is to shed light on the flaws and injustices of the status quo. After identifying these problems, the authors offer sound solutions. Section 1 is devoted to issues surrounding identification of students with learning disabilities. These topics include occurrence of inconsistencies in assessment and diagnoses, understanding the struggles of the "slow learner," and the interference of behavioral challenges with students' educational performance. Section 2 addresses problems within the evaluation process that negatively influence diagnoses. Discussions include disproportionate representation of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds as well as students of color and bilingual students. Section 3 highlights significant concerns with service provision within the special education realm. The narratives throughout the book present stories of children on the receiving end of a severely fractured special education system. Recommendations focus on solving specific problems, such as inconsistent identification processes and categories, disproportionate representation, ill-conceived IEPs, ineffective specially designed instruction, and poorly implemented RTI programs. The book's methodological approach affirms that there is much room for reform within both the special education system and the public education system as a whole. This book will be an excellent resource for graduate-level students, practitioners, and teachers in the fields of special education, disability studies, early intervention, school psychology, and child and family services. Additionally, it will be of interest to social workers, counselors, and researchers.

Case Studies on Diversity and Social Justice Education (Equity and Social Justice in Education Series) By Paul C. Gorski, Seema G. Pothini
2024 | 166 Pages | ISBN: 1032504218 | EPUB | 1 MB
Case Studies on Diversity and Social Justice Education offers pre- and in-service educators the opportunity to analyze and reflect upon a variety of real-life scenarios related to educational equity and social justice. The accessibly written cases allow educators to practice considering a range of contextual factors, check their own biases, and make immediate and longer-term decisions about how to create and sustain equitable learning environments for all students.Unique to this case study collection is a section of expert insights related to each case and a seven-point process for examining case studies. This framework guides readers through the process of identifying, examining, reflecting on, and taking concrete steps to resolve inequities and injustice in schools. Features of the third edition include:Ten new case studies and updates to existing cases that reflect societal contextsA series of questions to guide discussions for each case; andA section of facilitator notes called "Points for Consideration" that provide valuable insight for understanding how inequity is operating in each caseThe cases themselves present everyday examples of the ways in which racism, sexism, cisgenderism, homophobia and heterosexism, class inequities, language bias, religious-based oppression, and other equity and diversity concerns affect students, teachers, families, and other members of our school communities. They involve classroom, school, and district issues that are relevant to all grade levels and content areas, allowing significant flexibility in how and with whom they are used.

Cassian's Conferences Scriptural Interpretation and the Monastic Ideal (Routledge ...

Cassian's Conferences: Scriptural Interpretation and the Monastic Ideal (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies) By Christopher J. Kelly
2012 | 148 Pages | ISBN: 1409405591 | EPUB | 1 MB
This book explores Cassian's use of scripture in the Conferences, especially its biblical models to convey his understanding of the desert ideal to the monastic communities of Gaul. Cassian intended the scriptures and, implicitly, the Conferences to be the voices of authority and orthodoxy in the Gallic environment. He interprets familiar biblical characters in unfamiliar ways that exemplify his ideal. By imitating their actions the monk enters a seamless lineage of authority stretching back to Abraham. This book demonstrates how the scriptures functioned as a dynamic force in the lives of Christian monks in the fourth and fifth centuries, emphasizes the importance of Cassian in the development of the western monastic tradition, and offers an alternative to the sometimes problematic descriptions of patristic exegesis as "allegory" or "typology". Cassian has been described as little more than a provider of information about Egyptian monasticism, but a careful reading of his work reveals a sophisticated agenda to define and institutionalize orthodox monasticism in the Latin West.

Casting Homeward An Angler and Naturalist's Journey to America's Legendary Rivers

Casting Homeward: An Angler and Naturalist's Journey to America's Legendary Rivers by Steve Ramirez
English | September 3, 2024 | ISBN: 1493077694 | True EPUB | 280 pages | 2.1 MB
In Casting Homeward, writer, naturalist, and educator Steve Ramirez takes the reader on a physical and philosophical journey to some of the most legendary rivers and wild landscapes in America. Imbued with fly-fishing throughout, this journey will seek to explore what makes certain places feel magical and meaningful. How do we define "iconic" when considering wild places that have seemingly held the ability to restore our souls and fill them with feelings of peace, belonging, awe, and gratitude?

Each of these chosen regions has been considered an iconic destination for anyone who yearns for the wild places that are distinctly American. From the songbird-filled hardwoods of New England to the jack-pine Northwoods where wolves still sing in the night. From the Yellowstone Valley where bison feed next to tumbling trout streams to Bristol Bay where brown bears compete with anglers for salmon, steelhead, and leopard spotted rainbow trout. And each of these destinations has served as the birthplace of American literature that is intrinsically connected to the landscape and inspired by a love of the outdoors. In Casting Homeward, these legendary places will give us new stories-the stories of this century that are yet untold.

Catastrophes A History and Theory of an Operative Concept

Nitzan Lebovic, "Catastrophes: A History and Theory of an Operative Concept"
English | ISBN: 3110312492 | 2014 | 207 pages | EPUB | 1214 KB
Catastrophic scenarios dominate our contemporary mindset. Catastrophic events and predictions have spurred new interest in re-examining the history of earlier disasters and the social and conceptual resources they have mobilized. The essays gathered in this volume reconsider the history and theory of different catastrophes and their aftermath. The emphasis is on the need to distance this process of reconsideration from previous teleological representations of catastrophes as an endpoint, and to begin considering their "operative" aspects, which unmask the nature of social and political structures. Among the essays in this volume are analyses, by leading scholars in their respective fields, concerning the role of catastrophes in theology, in the history of industrial accidents, in theory of history, in the history of law, in "catastrophe films", in the history of cybernetics, in post-Holocaust discussions of reparations, and in climate change.
