Texas is a Southern state, and in many ways, Houston is a typical Southern city. While Houston did not experience the types or degrees of racial violence found in other Southern cities during the Jim Crow era, black Houstonians nonetheless found themselves often relegated to the margins of society. For decades there were two distinct Houstons: one white and the other black. However, Houston’s black community created businesses that flourished and schools that educated children and developed a culture that celebrated the accomplishments of their parents while eagerly anticipating the accomplishments of future generations. Images of America: African Americans of Houston captures the many facets of black Houston. From churches to nightclubs; city parks to city hall; and political giants Barbara Jordan, Mickey Leland, and Sheila Jackson Lee to the driving beats of Archie Bell and the Drells, the Ghetto Boys, and Beyoncé, black Houston is alive with a determination that past injustices will never dampen the future opportunities for greatness.
This book examines the many ways in which the New Deal revived Texas’s economic structure after the 1929 collapse. Ronald Goodwin analyzes how Franklin Roosevelt’s initiative, and in particular, the Work Progress Administration, remedied rampant unemployment and homelessness in twentieth-century Texas.

Appropriate for Introduction to Business. The revision of Essentials continues building on the key ideas of price and length. Instructors will now have time to cover all the necessary topics and also use the various support materials. The new, briefer second edition continues to provide the "essentials" of business, but also includes more updated, current examples and references that help the student better apply his knowledge to real companies. Each chapter contains tables, photographs, and figures carefully chosen to illustrate, in a visually appealing way, the points and messages of the chapter. Important topics such as those presented in the following examples reinforce the "essentials" approach. Chapters 1 and 2 present business concepts to students and in Chapters 3, 4, & 5 the legal, ethical and global issues are introduced. Chapter 6, 7 & 8 explore the management side and Chapters 9 & 10 further discuss developing the human resource skills necessary to good employee relations. Chapter12 expertly covers accounting and information systems. Chapters 13, 14 & 15 combine the marketing aspects of producing goods and services. Chapters 16 & 17 focus on the financial aspects of the banking, security, and investment community.
Ronald J. Comer clearly integrates theoretical models, research findings, clinical experiences, therapies and controversies within the context of social and cultural influences in this study of abnormal psychology.
