This third edition of Joe R. Feagin’s Racist America is significantly revised and updated, with an eye toward racism issues arising regularly in our contemporary era. This edition incorporates more than two hundred recent research studies and reports on U.S. racial issues that update and enhance all the last edition’s chapters. It expands the discussion and data on concepts such as the white racial frame and systemic racism from research studies by Feagin and his colleagues. The author has further polished the book to make it yet more readable for undergraduates, including eliminating repetitive materials, adding headings and more cross-referencing, and adding new examples, anecdotes, and narratives about contemporary racism.
From New York to Los Angeles, police departments across the country are consistently accused of racism. Although historically white police precincts have been slowly integrating over the past few decades, African-American officers still encounter racism on the job. Bolton and Feagin have interviewed fifty veteran African-American police officers to provide real-life and vivid examples of the difficulties and discrimination these officers face everyday inside and outside the police station from barriers in hiring and getting promoted to lack of trust from citizens and members of black community.
This reports document research that was performed to (1) determine causes of variability and tolerances for volumetric and mechanical properties of dense-graded asphalt mixtures measured within and among the three specimen types; and (2) propose a practice for state departments of transportation to incorporate these results in specifications and criteria for quality assurance, mix design verification or validation, and structural design and forensic studies. The research was conducted in two phases. In Phase I, datasets of laboratory and field test data were collected and pooled in a meta-analysis in an attempt to determine levels of variability in asphalt mixtures and the factors causing variability among and between the three specimen types. Despite the inclusion of 25 extensive datasets representing roughly 8,000 individual mixtures in the meta-analysis, the results of the analysis were inconclusive. Phase II was then undertaken--a program testing specimens from paving projects across the United States to quantify the effects of process-based factors on the variability of volumetric and mechanical properties of the specimen types. The key outcome of the research is a proposed practice for evaluating the cause and magnitude of variability within and among the three specimen types. In addition, tolerances of volumetric and conversion factors between the three specimen types of mechanical properties evaluated are proposed based on the average difference between specimen comparisons for the mixtures evaluated in Phase II. Agencies may use these proposed values to evaluate and adjust their current tolerances.
When the pioneering "First Family in Space" takes a catastrophic wrong turn on their maiden voyage, they crash on a dangerous alien planet. Their 21st century know-how is useless against the harsh environment, and survival seems unlikely, until they meet a strange ally...a mysterious orphan boy who's short on temper but big on survival skills. This heartfelt adventure is the brainchild of Man of Action Entertainment (Big Hero 6, Ben 10) founder JOE KELLY (I KILL GIANTS, FOUR EYES) and lauded British cartoonist ILYA.
