The Matter of Black Living
Author: Autumn Womack
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022680691X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
"What did the "Negro problem," as it was called at the turn of the twentieth century, look like? Autumn Womack's study examines efforts to visualize Black social life through new technologies and disciplines-from photography and film to statistics-in the decades between 1880 and 1930. Womack describes nothing less than a "racial data revolution," one in which social scientists, reformers, and theorists rendered Black life an inanimate object of inquiry. At the very same time, Black cultural producers staged their own kind of revolution, undisciplining racial data in ways that challenged normative visual regimes and capturing the dynamism of Black social life. Womack focuses on figures like W.E.B DuBois, Kelly Miller, Sutton Griggs, and Zora Neale Hurston, as well as lesser-known editors, social reformers, and performers. She shows how they harnessed media as diverse as the social survey, the novel, the stage, and early motion pictures to reform visual practices and recalibrate the relationship between data and black life"--

Artificial Black Holes
Author: Mario Novello
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814489603
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
Physicists are pondering on the possibility of simulating black holes in the laboratory by means of various “analog models”. These analog models, typically based on condensed matter physics, can be used to help us understand general relativity (Einstein's gravity); conversely, abstract techniques developed in general relativity can sometimes be used to help us understand certain aspects of condensed matter physics. This book contains 13 chapters — written by experts in general relativity, particle physics, and condensed matter physics — that explore various aspects of this two-way traffic.

The Year of the Bear
Author: Douglas J. Lanzo
Publisher: Ambassador International
ISBN: 1649603185
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
“Fans of classic, enthralling adventure (and I’m one) are in for a rare treat.” Josh Lieb New York Times best-selling and Emmy Award-winning author of I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President Thirteen-year-old Jason is on the cusp of manhood, striving to find his place at school and at home-especially after his mother has abandoned them and his father is left to deal with his own anger. When Jason and his father encounter a bear while out hunting, they shoot and kill it, not realizing that they have left a cub without its mother. When Sasquot of the Penobscot Tribe, a part of the Bear Family, discovers what they have done, he decides that Jason needs a lesson in caring for God's creatures. Thus begins a year that Jason will never forget as he begins to care and train the cub in order for it to survive. As Jason forms a bond with the bear, he, in turn, learns valuable lessons for life. “Bears can move and climb surprisingly quickly; so, too, does this fast-paced and highly satisfying debut novel set in rural Maine, richly evoked. The Year of the Bear tells a coming-of-age story, its action seamlessly interwoven with moments of indigenous wisdom, personal discovery, and universal truth. If the immediate experience is cinematic, its aftereffect is inspirational. A compelling and uplifting work.” Scott Mason Author of The Wonder Code: Discover the Way of Haiku and See the World with New Eyes “The Year of the Bear is a wonderful coming-of-age story. Jason, our young protagonist, faces a series of challenges, both physical and emotional, and comes out as a better young man as a result. The adventurous story draws you in and the development of the characters keeps you reading. Congratulations on a wonderful story.” Robert Ford, Jr. 2014 Footlocker Co-National Coach of the Year “A Newberry award contender, for sure!” Katie Cruice Smith Senior Editor and Author of Why Did You Choose Me? “This is truly a powerful coming-of-age story which connects the expanse of nature and human emotion at a level of intensity that carries the reader deep into the lives of its characters. A rich and engaging read!” Rev. Dr. Cheryl L. Tatham Minister, North Chevy Chase Christian Church, Chevy Chase, MD “The Year of the Bear is an exciting and exhilarating novel that will keep both students and adults on the edge of their seats. Mr. Lanzo does a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life, and allowing young adults to make real world connections to the subject matter and the characters in his work. The Year of the Bear is an engaging and compelling read.” Gregory D. Pacific, PhD Board of Directors/Faculty Akamai University Durham, North Carolina “As a child my grade school teachers read the Laura Ingalls Wilder books to us after lunch. Her descriptions were so clear that it seemed like I was transported into their lives. The time was different, but the place was nearby. Reading The Year of the Bear gives me that same feeling. The detailed descriptions of the land, lakes, rivers, with their plants and animals have described a place I have never seen, but I feel like I now know and am walking with Jason and his whole “family.” And the personalities of each of the characters are different, and yet they understand and love each other.” Pastor Roger Berner Current pastor of Lutheran Church of Our Savior, Port Washington, New York “A wonderful, multi-layered adventure of a young teen growing up in rural northern Maine.” Bob Ford, Sr. Footlocker 2014 National Coach of the Year
