Revolutionary Peace Through Ethnic Studies, by José Hernández Álvarez, explains how Spanish, French and British colonization shaped United States society and the ongoing experience of Americans of Native, African, Latin, Asian and immigrant origin. This researched and readable text calls for all Americans to declare their independence from the culture of conflict prevailing since the Revolutionary War. Pluralism (the concept of many in one) serves to study diversity and conditions needed for a national culture of peace. Paradigms, from resistance to domination, emphasize women and provide a frame for discovering the universal in how people cope with disadvantages. Each chapter’s discussion topics stimulate critical thinking, instead of partisan polemics. Supporting active learning, this aims to cultivate mutual understanding and respect, strengthen values of self-determination, equal access, civic participation and cooperative action for peace and prosperity.

Numerous concepts are applied to everydayexperiences that we have in our homes, at the cottages, while fishing,canoeing, or swimming Applied Aquatic Ecosystem Concepts by Gerald L. Mackie,provides explanations for observations that we often take for granted; whywater and skies are blue, why snow flakes are six-sides, why pipes burst in thewinter and why objects in water are "bent" from our angle or view.Applied Aquatic Ecosystem Concepts is a single source for information onfreshwater concepts, the application of these concepts, and their integrationand use for assessing impacts of different kinds of pollution. Applied AquaticEcosystem Concepts not only applies physical, chemical and biological conceptsof rivers and lakes and specialized aquatic habitats, but also describespollution, how to assess toxicity of pollutants, water quality, environmentalimpacts, conservation status of species at risk and how to control exoticspecies."This is a fantastic book thatcomprehensively gives a good introduction to aplethora of aquatic ecological concepts. I was amazed at the balancebetweenthe general application of ecological principles and the degree of detailusedto do so. Without overkill, the author provides adequate detail for eachsection,effectively using figures and tables in a manner that conveys the importantcomponents being outlined. Each chapter begins with a very useful set ofpointsthat are highlighted and discussed, and then each point is marked withinthe chapter.Further, the concepts are described without too many scientific references,which canbe distracting in educational texts. The glossary, species lists and indexare adequateand useful for general reference. This would be an especially good text forteaching atthe undergraduate and graduate levels in aquatic ecology or aquaticenvironmentalbiology. Lessons and labs could be easily developed around this text.Mackie has donea superb job at integrating a multitude of aquatic ecology principleswithin an appliedcontext, which I feel will be useful to many educators andprofessionals."RichardW.

AbstractThis textbook focuses on spacecraft operations and the design of the critical subsystems (Structures and Mechanisms, Guidance, Navigation and Control, Propulsion and Motion Control, Electrical Power, Thermal Control, Communication and Tracking, Command and Data Handling, and Environmental Control and Life Support) needed to develop a manned or unmanned spacecraft. A comprehensive overview of each critical subsystem is included for the Space Shuttle and International Space Station. In addition, photographic images illustrate many of the hardware components that comprise these systems.Previous space flight data provides a historical prospective on the importance of each critical subsystem and the consequence of a system failure. The major system requirements, operation functions and integration trades for each critical subsystem area are addressed with respect to performance, design margin, operations and cost. In addition, alternative design approaches for each essential subsystem are provided along with application examples from current space vehicles such as the International Space Station, Space Shuttle and various satellite systems. Understanding the major trades in each area, as well as the different design philosophies and alternatives, provides the knowledge needed to develop and evaluate a preliminary space vehicle design and operations concept.

Designed to be used by anyone looking to enter into a new career or job field. This text will help students discover career happiness and job satisfaction. The approach of this text goes beyond the one-shot job hunt. It shows students how to be continuously in charge of their career.

STUDYING DANCE CULTURES AROUND THE WORLD offers the first and most comprehensive framework for studying dance cultures in diverse geographic areas and historical time periods.

The author also examines complex and controversial concepts, such as, culture, race, and ethnicity within a 21st Century context to promote holistic, critical analyses of dance. Vivid descriptions of specific dance cultures, unique photograhs, and maps compliment the text.Wide variety of descriptions representing dance cultures originating from all continents and different types of environments.Discussion questions located at the end of each chapter.Discussion questions, which extend major concepts introduced, are student-centered.Suggestions for different types of creative projects are provided at the end of each chapter.

Cultural Diversity is written to assist students in developing skills in diversity and multiculturalism that can be applied to many contexts. This text was selected to emphasize mastering developmental framework for becoming aware of, understanding, and applying diversity-related concepts to a wide variety of situations.Diversity is broadly defined in the book and includes many types of differences, such as religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, class, race, skin color and ethnicity.   Types of diversity are infused throughout the book (rather than segmented into individual chapters) to illustrate multiple diversities.The process used in Cultural Diversity enables students to become more aware of their own values and beliefs. Thinking about diversity from a personal perspective gives the student ownership of the topic and is the cornerstone of increasing student awareness and understanding of other people and types of diversity.
