The purpose of this book is to re-examine the Supreme Court''s school desegregation jurisprudence and examine the current educational situation of African-American school children with the realization that American society is in the Post-Desegregation Era. The book advances discussion of racial issues by using the Post-Desegregation Awareness, a conscious awareness that racial phenomena are comprehended against a sub silentio background of a much larger set of ideas about race and ethnicity which limit and structure their perception. The book also examines the Court''s school desegregation jurisprudence from the four different conceptual schemes considered by the Post-Desegregation Awareness: Traditional Americanism, African-American Centralism, Secular Individualism, and American Collectivism. "The author''s richness of details, fresh interpretations of historical facts and trends make these chapters a powerful retelling of our nation''s twisted history. Brown does a fine job of explaining how each discourse ''structures'' public debates and understanding." -- Law & Politics Book Review

“A fascinating and wide-ranging history of health, hygiene, and the sea. This is a great narrative of an important but often hidden aspect of seafaring.” —Ausmarine When European sailors began to explore the rest of the world, the problem of keeping healthy on such long voyages became acute. Malnourishment and crowded conditions bred disease, but they also carried epidemics that decimated the indigenous populations they encountered and brought back new diseases like syphilis. As navies developed, the well-being of crews became a dominant factor in the success of naval operations, so it is no surprise that the Royal Navy led the way in shipboard medical provision, and sponsored many of the advances in diet and hygiene which by the Napoleonic Wars gave its fleets a significant advantage over all its enemies. These improvements trickled down to the merchant service, but the book also looks at two particularly harsh maritime environments, the slave trade and emigrant ships, both of which required special medical arrangements. Eventually, the struggle to improve the fitness of seamen became a national concern, manifest in a series of far-reaching and sometimes bizarre public health measures, generally directed against the effects of drunkenness and the pox. In this way, as in many others, an attempt to address the specific needs of the seafarer developed wider implications for society as a whole. It also produced scientific breakthroughs that were a universal benefit, so far from being a narrow study of medicine at sea, this book provides a fascinating picture of social improvement. “The topics are intriguing, the research is thorough, and the book is a captivating read.” —Nautical Research Journal

This WWII naval history examines the Royal Navy’s health and fitness policies, initiatives and innovations. ‘Fittest of the fit’ was the Royal Navy’s boast about its personnel, a claim based on a strict recruitment process. This book examines the reality behind the motto through the difficult years of the Second World War. Beginning with the medical aspects of recruitment, historian Kevin Brown examines how health and fitness were maintained at sea, including in the onerous extremes of Arctic and Tropical conditions. Beyond physical health, Brown also examines the importance of psychological factors and the maintenance of morale, covering everything from entertainment to tolerance of onboard pets. Inevitably, the effects of battle, injury and stress dominated naval medicine, and wartime led to rapid changes in everything from basic preparations to protective clothing. With revealing comparisons to other British services as well as US Navy practices, Fittest of the Fit offers a unique look at life for the Royal Navy, covering submariners and airmen as well as those in the surface fleet.

Having raised Walkers and Bluetick hounds all of my life, I have developed a set way in which to train my dogs...a way that has given me the best results with the kind of training that has turned my hounds into top big game dogs. Throughout the years...these methods have never let me down...giving me the best control of my dogs in any given situation. That''s what I strive for. It has made all the difference when the difference counts. Whenever I sell one of my Bluetick pups, I always get a barrage of questions as to how and when to start training them...what to do and when to do it...so I felt it was time to put these ideas to paper. Now a person can see what works and what doesn''t work (at least for me). These methods are universal and can apply to pets and dogs even if they don''t hunt.

Hard Knocks High is a Young Adult Urban Fiction series that features African American and Latino characters. These books are written for Grade 9 and up. Hard Knocks High is the most notorious high school in the Bronx, where the streets and the classroom collide. Project Windows is the first book in the Hard Knocks High series which features sixteen year old, high school sophomore Tafari King. As a sheltered, bible-studying teen, when inside of his strict single-parent apartment, and a menacing thug when on the rugged Bronx streets, Tafari King struggles to live a double life. On one side: his overprotective mother, who is unaware that her son is the most feared young thug on the streets; his caring girlfriend, who opposes his new found life style; a devoted teacher who warns Tafari of the unseen traps in the streets; and a budding rap career that may offer a way out. On the other side: an intoxicating freedom of a life in which reputation is all that matters, of living the lyrics, of his corner boys'' crew, thugs, and ghetto star-struck girls all whom Tafari has fooled with his fabricated thug persona. Just when things couldn''t get any worse, an old enemy resolves to reclaim dominance over Tafari while a new threat seeks to remove him from the equation entirely. With his life on the line, a gang initiation looming, and time running out, Tafari needs to make a choice before it''s too late.

Most ethnographers don t achieve what Kevin Brown did while conducting their research: in his two years spent at a karaoke bar near Denver, Colorado, he went from barely able to carry a tune to someone whom other karaoke patrons requested to sing. Along the way, he learned everything you might ever want to know about karaoke and the people who enjoy it. The result is "Karaoke Idols," a close ethnography of life at a karaoke bar that reveals just what we re doing when we take up the mic and how we shape our identities, especially in terms of gender, ethnicity, and class, through performances in everyday life. Marrying a comprehensive introduction to the history of public singing and karaoke with a rich analysis of karaoke performers and the community that their shared performances generate, "Karaoke Idols" is a book for both the casual reader and the scholar, and a fascinating exploration of our urge to perform and the intersection of technology and culture that makes it so seductively easy to do so."

Pastor Kevin Brown believes that the Grace of God has to be clearly understood and rightly divided in order to get the full understanding of the Word of God. The word of God makes it clear that grace is not an excuse for a slack lifestyle, or to live a life of bondage with your own consent and thrive in the kingdom. We must understand that Grace is an empowerment from the beginning of the new life in Christ to the end of that life in this world. Grace has an ability to function in a person''s life when faith is genuine and the individual is responsive to God. Learn to lean on Him with your whole heart and trust that He has provided for your success through faith in His Son, which allows grace to be active consistently.
