The Black Child-Savers

Racial Democracy & Juvenile Justice

By: Geoff K. Ward

During the Progressive Era, a rehabilitative agenda took hold of American juvenile justice, materializing as a citizen-and-state-building project and mirroring the unequal racial politics of American democracy itself. Alongside this liberal "manufactory of citizens,” a parallel structure was enacted: a Jim Crow juvenile justice system that endured across the nation for most of the twentieth century. In The Black Child Savers, the first study of the rise and fall of Jim Crow juvenile justice, Geoff Ward examines the origins and organization of this separate and unequal juvenile justice system. Ward explores how generations of “black child-savers” mobilized to challenge the threat to black youth and community interests and how this struggle grew aligned with a wider civil rights movement, eventually forcing the formal integration of American juvenile justice. Ward’s book reveals nearly a century of struggle to build a more democratic model of juvenile justice—an effort that succeeded in part, but ultimately failed to deliver black youth and community to liberal rehabilitative ideals. At once an inspiring story about the shifting boundaries of race, citizenship, and democracy in America and a crucial look at the nature of racial inequality, The Black Child Savers is a stirring account of the stakes and meaning of social justice.

Aquaman: A Celebration of 75 Years

By: Geoff Johns,Jack Miller,Steve Skeates

CELEBRATE 75 YEARS OF THE KING OF ATLANTIS! Though often overshadowed or overlooked, Aquaman is among the greatest and most enduring characters in the DC Universe. The King of Atlantis is one of the few Golden Age characters to survive into the present day. He’s also a founding member of the Justice League, the first DC hero to start a family and soon will star in his own big-screen franchise. From the lighthearted swashbuckling adventures of Aquaman’s early decades, through the loss of his son (not to mention his hand), to his modern reinvention as a formidable master of the sea, this collection provides a crash course in more than seven decades of DC history! AQUAMAN: A CELEBRATION OF 75 YEARS collects 400 pages of the iconic hero’s finest moments-from his first appearance by Mort Weisinger and creator Paul Norris to his modern-day adventures-and features the work of such comics superstars as Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, Jim Aparo, Steve Skeates, Peter David, Ramona Fradon, Paul Levitz, Nick Cardy and more. Collects ADVENTURE COMICS #120, #174, #220, #260, #266, #269, #444, #452, #475; AQUAMAN (1962-) #1, #18, #40; JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA ANNUAL #2; AQUAMAN (1986-) #3; AQUAMAN (1991-) #2, #34; AQUAMAN (1994-) #4, #17; and AQUAMAN (2011-) #1, #43.

Cracking the Act 2002

By: Geoff Martz,Kim Magloire,Theodore Silver

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the ACT is very different from getting straight As in school. The Princeton Review doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about math, reading, and English--only the techniques they'll need to score higher on the exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the ACT, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and - Use Process of Elimination to eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool test takers - Ace the English test by learning how to spot sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation errors quickly - Crack algebra problems by Plugging In numbers in place of letters - Score higher on reading comprehension by learning to zero in on main ideas, topic sentences, and key words - Solve science reasoning problems by scanning the passage for critical words This book includes one full-length simulated ACT, 4 full-length practice ACT exams on CD-ROM, and The Princeton Review Assessment Exam--a diagnostic exam designed to help students decide whether to take the ACT or the SAT. The questions on TPR's practice ACT exams are like the ones test takers will find on the real ACT. "Contents Include: Triage Guessing and POE Taking the ACT II How to Beat the ACT English Test Sentence Structure Grammar and Usage Punctuation Rhetorical Skills III How to Beat the ACT Math Test Basics Arithmetic Algebra Geometry Graphing and Coordinate Geometry Trigonometry IV How to Beat the ACT Reading Test Distracters The Four-Step System V How to Beat the ACT Science Reading Test Data Representation ExperimentalReasoning Alternative Viewpoints VI The Princeton Review Assessment How to Score the PRA Using the PRA
