Use this inspirational resource to engage in Pro-Black teaching with young children as an antidote to endemic anti-Black racism in schools and society. Drawing from a critical case study of K–3 teachers who use Pro-Black teaching in their daily instruction, this important book puts forth positive perspectives regarding Blackness and Black people that are not evident in most educational settings. An easy-to-understand text provides evidence-based curriculum examples, pedagogies, and resources; demonstrates how teachers can achieve Pro-Black teaching while also addressing curricular standards and other demands on their time; and explains the benefit of Pro-Black teaching for all children. The authors draw from decades of practice and research by Black scholars (e.g., Asa Hilliard, Janice Hale, Amos Wilson) to position racial identities as a key part of Black children’s development. They center African Diaspora literacy as a Pro-Black pedagogy to ensure that Black children are competent in their own culture as well as in global cultures. Pro-Blackness in Early Childhood Education celebrates the agency, resistance, everyday lives, and joy of Black people. Book Features: Demonstrates how Pro-Blackness can be used to interrupt ethnocide practices that threaten Black children’s culture and spirits. Provides guidance for implementing and sustaining Pro-Black instruction, with accessible examples of curriculum and instruction. Focuses on Pro-Blackness rather than anti-Blackness. Includes examples of K–3 lessons from Drs. Diaspora curriculum that have been used in majority Black, majority White, and racially mixed classrooms.
Game theory provides a mathematical setting for analyzing competition and cooperation in interactive situations. The theory has been famously applied in economics, but is relevant in many other sciences, such as political science, biology, and, more recently, computer science. This book presents an introductory and up-to-date course on game theory addressed to mathematicians and economists, and to other scientists having a basic mathematical background. The book is self-contained, providing a formal description of the classic game-theoretic concepts together with rigorous proofs of the main results in the field. The theory is illustrated through abundant examples, applications, and exercises. The style is distinctively concise, while offering motivations and interpretations of the theory to make the book accessible to a wide readership. The basic concepts and results of game theory are given a formal treatment, and the mathematical tools necessary to develop them are carefully presented. Cooperative games are explained in detail, with bargaining and TU-games being treated as part of a general framework. The authors stress the relation between game theory and operations research. The book is suitable for a graduate or an advanced undergraduate course on game theory.

Min. Gloria Brown writes this book from her perspective as a Protestant minister, and expresses her concern for the direction in which our country is headed. She states in the Introduction to the book that . . . the issues addressed are, I believe, critically important for the future of this country for our children and their children. To my mind, the current state of political affairs has gone from ridiculous to totally absurd. The fact that each political party remains so steadfastly dogmatic concerning the party line doesn t make sense to me. Extremists from each party rule the day. Someone has defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Something needs to change. Stop this Madness!!!! Min. Brown states that the solution to this country s problems does not lie in new government programs. She believes that what this country really needs is a spiritual revival and a return to the Christian principles upon which the nation was founded. My name is Gloria P. Brown, and I relocated to my hometown of Riceboro in southeast Georgia eight years ago after having lived and worked in the Washington, D.C. area for 35 years. I returned home to care for my mother after my father passed away and really enjoy the slow pace after the rat race in the big city. This part of Georgia has the best weather and the best seafood anywhere! I have one son, D wayne KP Wilkerson-Brown. Now, at the age of 61 and only months away from social security, life is really just beginning for me! I finally plan to get my bachelor s degree after several starts and stops over the years, and am pursuing a B.S. in Religion from American Public University (online) -- thank God for Pell Grants! I know that ministry is my life s work I am a licensed minister in both the Baptist and Non-Denominational traditions. I will be starting a church soon, and I also have a dream of opening a group home for foster children. I want mostly that God be glorified in my life. (Oh! And I have another book to write, entitled My Gay Son. ) My desire is to see others come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, as well as to see Christians grow in their faith. . I believe it is time for the Church to get serious about the business of winning souls, because I truly believe that our Lord is soon to come. It may be sooner than we all think.
