Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

America, Goddam

Violence, Black Women, and the Struggle for Justice

By: Treva B. Lindsey

One of the Best Nonfiction Books of 2022, Kirkus Reviews "A righteous indictment of racism and misogyny."—Publishers Weekly A powerful account of violence against Black women and girls in the United States and their fight for liberation. Echoing the energy of Nina Simone's searing protest song that inspired the title, this book is a call to action in our collective journey toward just futures. America, Goddam explores the combined force of anti-Blackness, misogyny, patriarchy, and capitalism in the lives of Black women and girls in the United States today. Through personal accounts and hard-hitting analysis, Black feminist historian Treva B. Lindsey starkly assesses the forms and legacies of violence against Black women and girls, as well as their demands for justice for themselves and their communities. Combining history, theory, and memoir, America, Goddam renders visible the gender dynamics of anti-Black violence. Black women and girls occupy a unique status of vulnerability to harm and death, while the circumstances and traumas of this violence go underreported and understudied. America, Goddam allows readers to understand How Black women—who have been both victims of anti-Black violence as well as frontline participants—are rarely the focus of Black freedom movements. How Black women have led movements demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Toyin Salau, Riah Milton, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, and countless other Black women and girls whose lives have been curtailed by numerous forms of violence. How across generations and centuries, their refusal to remain silent about violence against them led to Black liberation through organizing and radical politics. America, Goddam powerfully demonstrates that the struggle for justice begins with reckoning with the pervasiveness of violence against Black women and girls in the United States.

Aflatoxin Control

Safeguarding Animal Feed with Calcium Smectite

By: Joe B. Dixon,Ana L. Barrientos Velázquez

Aflatoxin contamination represents a serious threat to a healthy food supply. Resulting from mold on corn, peanuts, and other grains and grain products, aflatoxins are extremly toxic. Understanding the nature of fungi infection and the factors that favor aflatoxin formation is important to grain producers, dealers, and other professionals who control grain from the field to the site of consumption to prevent serious loss of large quantities of grain or grain products. Producers of poultry, cattle, sheep, pigs, and even pet food need to be aware of the threat of aflatoxin. Participants in the grain industry who grow, store, or process corn and other grains subject to potential infection by aflatoxin should be aware of the risks of fungal infection and aflatoxin contamination, and proper management strategies. The authors focus on the binding of aflatoxin in animal feeds by employing calcium smectite. Readers will be especially glad to know that aflatoxin can often be controlled with a natural mineral material to bind aflatoxin in animal feeds at a modest cost.

Living and Dying in the USA

Behavioral, Health, and Social Differentials of Adult Mortality

By: Richard G. Rogers,Robert A. Hummer,Charles B. Nam

The simplicity of using one data set in addressing the relationship of single variables to mortality distinguishes Living and Dying in the USA from other recent investigations of mortality. The authors use the recently released National Health Interview Survey and the National Death Index to make a definitive statement about demographics and mortality. By surveying demographic and sociocultural characteristics associated with mortality, socioeconomic effects, health-related conditions, and health status, they reveal connections among several factors related to mortality chances. Easily understood and cited, their study emphasizes the statistical methods underlying their revelations and invites readers to duplicate their results. Comprehensive coverage of US adult mortality differentials Based on a new and innovative data set Includes factors rarely examined in related mortality research Not only documents mortality differentials, but explores explanations for them Extensive list of references associated with each chapter Consistent, straightforward methodology used throughout aids readers in both understanding the content and in comparing results from chapter to chapter

Breathing on the Roof of the World

Memoir of a Respiratory Physiologist

By: John B. West

This book is an informal autobiography by John West MD PhD. He obtained his medical degree in Adelaide, Australia and then spent 15 years mainly at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital in London where he, with others, used radioactive oxygen-15 to make the first description of the uneven regional distribution of blood flow in the lung. In 1960-1961, he was a member of the Himalayan Scientific and Mountaineering Expedition led by Sir Edmund Hillary who had made the first ascent of Mt Everest 7 years before. During the expedition about 6 scientists spent up to three months at an altitude of 5800 m studying the effects of this very high altitude on human physiology. Because of his interests in the effects of gravity on the lung, Dr. West spent a year at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California in 1967-1968. While there he submitted a proposal to NASA to measure pulmonary function of astronauts in space, and this was funded. Later, in 1981 he organized the American Medical Research Expedition to Everest during which the first measurements of human physiology on the summit, altitude 8848 m, were obtained. In the 1990’s, Dr. West’s team made the first comprehensive measurements of pulmonary function of astronauts in space using SpaceLab which was taken up in the Shuttle.

TRADITIONAL PROFESSION AND LIVELIHOOD OF SCAVENGERS

By: Dr. Jnanmitra B. Bhriramadgi

I. INTRODUCTION: In India, there are constitutional and legislative prohibitions on “untouchability” and manual scavenging. However, women and men continue to be engaged in manually cleaning human excrement from private and public dry toilets, open defecation sites, septic tanks, and open and closed gutters and sewers. They usually embark upon manual scavenging because of traditional caste-based roles that leave them few, if any, alternate employment options, a situation perpetuated by poor implementation of laws and policies prohibiting this practice.

Despite the Best Intentions

How Racial Inequality Thrives in Good Schools

By: Amanda E. Lewis,John B. Diamond

On the surface, Riverview High School looks like the post-racial ideal. Serving an enviably affluent, diverse, and liberal district, the school is well-funded, its teachers are well-trained, and many of its students are high achieving. Yet Riverview has not escaped the same unrelenting question that plagues schools throughout America: why is it that even when all of the circumstances seem right, black and Latino students continue to lag behind their peers? Through five years' worth of interviews and data-gathering at Riverview, John Diamond and Amanda Lewis have created a rich and disturbing portrait of the achievement gap that persists more than fifty years after the formal dismantling of segregation. As students progress from elementary school to middle school to high school, their level of academic achievement increasingly tracks along racial lines, with white and Asian students maintaining higher GPAs and standardized testing scores, taking more advanced classes, and attaining better college admission results than their black and Latino counterparts. Most research to date has focused on the role of poverty, family stability, and other external influences in explaining poor performance at school, especially in urban contexts. Diamond and Lewis instead situate their research in a suburban school, and look at what factors within the school itself could be causing the disparity. Most crucially, they challenge many common explanations of the 'racial achievement gap,' exploring what race actually means in this situation, and why it matters. An in-depth study with far-reaching consequences, Despite the Best Intentions revolutionizes our understanding of both the knotty problem of academic disparities and the larger question of the color line in American society.

Die Krankheiten sind keine unvedinderlichen Erscheinungen, sie sind histo rischen Wandlungen und wechselnden geographischen und demographischen Ver haltnissen unterworfen. Deshalb wechselt auch das Gesamtbild der Krankheiten, das Krankheitspanorama, von Zeit zu Zeit, von Land zu Land, von Ort zu Ort. Zu den vielen Faktoren, die bei der Gestaltung des Krankheitspanoramas wirksam sind, geh6ren die Ernahrungsverhaltnisse, die sozialen und hygienischen Verhalt nisse, die Epi-und Endemien und Epi-und Enzootien mit der nachher eintreten den Immunitat, die Fortschritte der medizinischen Forschung und Therapie und schliel3lich die mit den anderen Faktoren eng verbundenen Veranderungen der mittleren Lebenslange, also heutzutage die starke Steigerung derselben, vor aHem in groBen Teilen von Europa und Nordamerika. Diese Wandlungen des Krank heitspanoramas haben u. a. HARBITZ, HENSCHEN, CmARl, KUHNT, BODECHTEL, BERG, MUNCK, HAMPERL und LOFFLER behandelt. DOERR et al. haben den Wandel der Krankheitsbilder in einer gr6Beren Arbeit abgehandelt. Auf die pathogene tische Bedeutung der starken sozial-6konomischen Umwandlungen im heutigen Afrika hat MURRAY neuerdings die Aufmerksamkeit gerichtet.

Discovering Your Divine Identity

DNA Plus Other Dynamic Topics Ancient Eastern Hebrews CHINA & All Asian People

By: B. Dale Hansen

Dale, I read the chapter tying Chinese peoples to Hebrew origins through Joktan. It was most interesting and fairly convincing. I was particularly struck by the figure on a throne or chair that was found in both China and Egypt. Wow! That is a tremendous tying figure. Thanks for sharing. ~ John K. Carmack, Attorney, LDS Emeritus General Authority Los Angeles and Salt Lake City Dale, I read your paper about eternal man. It is profound and mind boggling. You have done a lot of research and have thought deeply about the subject. Are you going to publish it? I think most of us have little idea who we really are. The discussion about DNA is very compelling. Thank you so much for sharing such deep and wonderful thoughts with me. ~ Jack Rushton, Educator, CES, Quadriplegic for 26 yrs. Irvine, California Fascinating thoughts! Eastern Hebrew origins that link China and Asian people of God together, even DNA. Dale has introduced a unique view of the scattering of great populations throughout the world that has the potential to help many of us to re-think such events. A worth-while read for any-one interested in the early peoples of the earth and the connection between peoples, including pre-mortality. ~ Douglas Patterson, Business Entrepreneur, Washington, Florida - Currently in Arizona DNA— there’s an interesting paradox within the DNA. [It is] there are so many bits of information [in there] that it is absolutely very easy to identify you as a unique individual, different than any other individual that has ever lived on the earth or who will ever live on the earth. Each of you is truly a unique creation. But also locked within the DNA are pieces of DNA that you share with your most immediate ancestors, with your brothers and your sisters and your parents and your grandparents. ~ Dr. Scott Woodward, Geneticist, Molecular Genealogy Salt Lake City, Utah

The Book of Animal Secrets

Nature's Lessons for a Long and Happy Life

By: David B. Agus

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The End of Illness comes an ingenious guide to what our fellow animals can teach us about living longer, healthier, happier lives. Mother nature has a lot to teach us, if only we open our eyes. Pigeons and dolphins offer creative strategies for preserving our memories and warding off dementia, while squirrels and pigs harbor secrets for managing chronic pain. Rhinoceroses demonstrate the subtle power of our environments—and how to exercise better—while chimps have surprising parenting tips, not to mention great diet advice. Studying elephants has unlocked insights into preventing cancer, and we can look to giraffes for solutions to cardiovascular issues. Ants reveal the unusual benefits of collaboration and altruism, dogs are masterful mentors in living the good life, prairie voles hold clues to connection, and hitchhikers from our evolutionary past may bring us to the edge of immortality. In The Book of Animal Secrets, visionary physician and biomedical researcher David B. Agus, MD, explores all these ways—and more—that we can harness the wonders of the animal kingdom in our own, very human lives. Filled with lively storytelling and astonishing practical takeaways, this revelatory guide will have you rethinking what’s possible for your health and wellbeing—now and for years to come.
