Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n ?From the first steps toward enfranchisement through modern lawmakers’ vision for America, a new book from CQ Press is the first single-volume reference to provide the complete story of African Americans making U.S. political history. In African Americans in Congress: A Documentary History, authors Eric Freedman―a Pulitzer Prize winner―and Stephen A. Jones, have assembled a vital collection of original narrative supported by more than 120 of the most important historical documents tracing the African American political experience and the history of African American legislators in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.   \u003cp\u003e Throughout this comprehensive work, the stories of notable African Americans who have served in Congress are told, including: Hiram R. Revels of Mississippi, the first African American senator; Shirley A. Chisholm of New York, the first black woman to serve in Congress; Charles B. Rangel of New York, the chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means and a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus; and Barack Obama of Illinois, the only African American senator in the 110th Congress. ?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e The first part of the book features chronological chapters on the history of African American involvement in U.S. politics and on Capitol Hill, while the second part features thematic chapters on the African American political experience.

Robert Smalls’ heroism in commandeering a Confederate ship during the Civil War and piloting it into Union custody and the controversy when President Herbert Hoover’s wife invited the wife of Rep. Oscar De Priest to a White House tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe appendixes contain lists of African Americans in the 110th Congress and those since the 41st Congress, a chronology of significant events and an extensive bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   From    This documentary history offers the full text of selected primary source documents, including congressional testimony, committee reports, Supreme Court decisions, letters, pamphlets, legislation, and presidential messages to Congress. Beginning with the American Revolution and ending with the 2007 Democratic congressional gains, it seeks to illustrate the struggle of African Americans “to influence Congress to guarantee their civil and political rights.” Documents are grouped  into both chronological and topical chapters, and all chapters begin with several pages of background and commentary. The documents chosen for African Americans in Congress are grouped into 14 chapters such as “The Revolutionary War to Dred Scott: The Antecedents of Political Empowerment, 1776–1857” and “African American Lawmakers and International Affairs: America as a World Power.” Readers will find Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and a 1901 “Republican Text-book for Colored Voters” (“Very nearly fifty per cent more money will have been drawn from the treasury of the nation under President McKinley’s administration by black men than under any other administration since the Republican party conferred popular rights upon them”). Appendixes provide, among other items, a chronology and a list of African Americans in Congress, 1870–2007. The concluding bibliography is arranged by topic. With so much documentary material readily obtainable from the Library of Congress American Memory project and similar Web sites, print-format documentary histories are no longer as critical to collections as they were before online availability. However, the careful arrangement and explanatory notes in  African Americans in Congress: A Documentary History add value that should not be underestimated in purchase decisions.

It deals with writing for all principal radio genres – short stories, plays, documentaries\/drama documentaries, talks and features, adaptations\/dramatisations, poems, and advertisements. It contains historical overviews of the genesis and development of each of these categories and attempts an analysis of the nature of radio itself. For the first time there is an attempt to isolate a 'radio language', a syntax and vocabulary guaranteed to produce pictures in the mind of the listener. This means radio can be taught as an academic subject as all writing – prose, drama and verse, can be tested as radio and examples for analysis are used from both broadcast and non-broadcast work.  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   \"...the book provides excellent skills for training for the broadcast writer and dramatist.\" --Journal of Radio Studies\u003cbr\u003e           About the Author   Vincent McInerney has had over 20 productions broadcast on BBC Network\/BBC World Service International Stations.\u003cbr\u003e                                           ","brand":"Vincent McInerney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46068504559850,"sku":"9780719058431","price":29.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/61ktKK0NGCL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781166480"},{"product_id":"speak-now-against-the-day-the-generation-before-the-civil-rights-movement-in-the-south","title":"Speak Now Against the Day: The Generation Before the Civil Rights Movement in the South","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook info:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speak Now Against the Day: The Generation Before the Civil Rights Movement in the South (Paperback, 768 pages) – The University of North Carolina Press, 1995.

David M. Lubin presents a highly original examination of the era's fine arts and entertainment to show how they ranged from patriotic idealism to profound disillusionment. In stylishly written chapters, Lubin assesses the war's impact on two dozen painters, designers, photographers, and filmmakers from 1914 to 1933. He considers well-known figures such as Marcel Duchamp, John Singer Sargent, D. W. Griffith, and the African American outsider artist Horace Pippin while resurrecting forgotten artists such as the mask-maker Anna Coleman Ladd, the sculptor Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, and the combat artist Claggett Wilson. The book is liberally furnished with illustrations from epoch-defining posters, paintings, photographs, and films.

Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n Few of us have been spared the agonies of intimate relationships. They come in many shapes: loving a man or a woman who will not commit to us, being heartbroken when we're abandoned by a lover, engaging in Sisyphean internet searches, coming back lonely from bars, parties, or blind dates, feeling bored in a relationship that is so much less than we had envisaged - these are only some of the ways in which the search for love is a difficult and often painful experience. \u003cp\u003eDespite the widespread and almost collective character of these experiences, our culture insists they are the result of faulty or insufficiently mature psyches. For many, the Freudian idea that the family designs the pattern of an individual's erotic career has been the main explanation for why and how we fail to find or sustain love. Psychoanalysis and popular psychology have succeeded spectacularly in convincing us that individuals bear responsibility for the misery of their romantic and erotic lives. The purpose of this book is to change our way of thinking about what is wrong in modern relationships. The problem is not dysfunctional childhoods or insufficiently self-aware psyches, but rather the institutional forces shaping how we love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe argument of this book is that the modern romantic experience is shaped by a fundamental transformation in the ecology and architecture of romantic choice. The samples from which men and women choose a partner, the modes of evaluating prospective partners, the very importance of choice and autonomy and what people imagine to be the spectrum of their choices: all these aspects of choice have transformed the very core of the will, how we want a partner, the sense of worth bestowed by relationships, and the organization of desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book does to love what Marx did to commodities: it shows that it is shaped by social relations and institutions and that it circulates in a marketplace of unequal actors.\u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"Eva Illouz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46068506755306,"sku":"9780745671079","price":14.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/51zNtEWbAuL._SY522.jpg?v=1781166533"},{"product_id":"women-and-the-law-leaders-cases-and-documents-non-series","title":"Women and the Law: Leaders, Cases, and Documents (Non-series)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook info:\u003c\/strong\u003e Women and the Law: Leaders, Cases, and Documents (Non-series) (Hardcover, 288 pages) – ABC-CLIO, 2003.

Digital health is of growing interest to policymakers, clinicians and businesses.

The chapters explore relevant sociological concepts and theories; changing conceptions of the self, evident in citizens’ growing use of wearables, online behaviours and patient activism; changes in medical practices, especially precision (or personalized) medicine and growing reliance on big data and algorithm-driven decisions; the character of the digital healthcare economy; and the perils of digital health. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is argued that, for various reasons, including the way digital technologies are designed and operate, and the influence of big technology companies and other interests seeking to monetize citizens’ data, digital health is unlikely to deliver much of what is promised. Citizens’ use of digital technologies is likened to a Faustian bargain: citizens are likely to surrender something of far greater value (their personal data) than what they obtain from its use.

Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n In late classical and early medieval China, ascetics strove to become transcendents--deathless beings with supernormal powers. Practitioners developed dietetic, alchemical, meditative, gymnastic, sexual, and medicinal disciplines (some of which are still practiced today) to perfect themselves and thus transcend death. Narratives of their achievements circulated widely. Ge Hong (283-343 c.e.) collected and preserved many of their stories in his Traditions of Divine Transcendents, affording us a window onto this extraordinary response to human mortality.Robert Ford Campany's groundbreaking and carefully researched text offers the first complete, critical translation and commentary for this important Chinese religious work, at the same time establishing a method for reconstructing lost texts from medieval China. Clear, exacting, and annotated, the translation comprises over a hundred lively, engaging narratives of individuals deemed to have fought death and won. Additionally, To Live as Long as Heaven and Earth systematically introduces the Chinese quest for transcendence, illuminating a poorly understood tradition that was an important source of Daoist religion and a major social, cultural, and religious phenomenon in its own right.

Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n In the last few decades the research on bioelectromagnetics has expanded worldwide. About one thousand researchers are now working in the field in a variety of institutions throughout the world, including medical, biological, engineering, and technical laboratories and protection agencies. After many years of research, a clear picture is now emerging: Initially the research was mainly interested in the therapeutic applications of ELF electric and magnetic fields, and the RF range was mainly taken into consideration with respect to thermal effects only. Then, tne growing body of biological effects of ELF fields on cells and biological tissues (particularly for the repair processes in bone) have drawn the attention of researchers to non-thermal effects, ranging from static fields to microwaves. A specific field of interest that has been the object of a large debate in the last twenty years has been the potential health risk associated with electric power production and distribution and, more recently, with domestic and industrial appliances.

Nikki Khanna’s Biracial in America: Forming and Performing Racial Identity moves us a giant leap forward in our understanding of racial identity among black-white biracial Americans. Through captivating interview excerpts, Khanna brilliantly and clearly describes the underlying social psychological processes through which biracial Americans shape and negotiate multidimensional racial identities. In the process, she reveals both the lingering impact of the one drop rule and the power of individual biracial Americans to actively 'perform race' in an era of increasing racial flexibility.” ―Kathleen Odell Korgen, William Paterson University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Biracial in America expands on Rockquemore \u0026amp; Brunsma's pioneering foundation, taking the best that has been done previously and pushing the theoretical envelope several steps further ahead.

Recursive Macroeconomic Theory offers both an introduction to recursive methods and more advanced material. Only practice in solving diverse problems fully conveys the advantages of the recursive approach, so the book provides many applications. This fourth edition features two new chapters and substantial revisions to other chapters that demonstrate the power of recursive methods. One new chapter applies the recursive approach to Ramsey taxation and sharply characterizes the time inconsistency of optimal policies. These insights are used in other chapters to simplify recursive formulations of Ramsey plans and credible government policies. The second new chapter explores the mechanics of matching models and identifies a common channel through which productivity shocks are magnified across a variety of matching models. Other chapters have been extended and refined. For example, there is new material on heterogeneous beliefs in both complete and incomplete markets models; and there is a deeper account of forces that shape aggregate labor supply elasticities in lifecycle models. The book is suitable for first- and second-year graduate courses in macroeconomics.

The chapters summarize the state of the discussion on ancient education in classical and biblical studies, examine obstacles to arriving at a comprehensive theory of early Christianity's relationship to ancient education, compare different approaches, and compile the diverse methodologies into one comparative study.
