Black Intellectuals

Race and Responsibility in American Life

By: William M. Banks

In the volumes of literature on black history and thought too few books have focused on the black thinkers who have helped shape the course of American culture. Now, this landmark work reveals the complex and vital role of African American intellectuals in the United States. It is a rich history, beginning with the arrival of Africans as slaves, when medicine men and conjurers held ancient, powerful wisdom. Author William Banks discusses with absorbing insight prominent figures ranging from such black pioneers as Alexander Crummell, Frederick Douglass, and Anna Cooper to intellectuals of the modern age such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Alain Locke, E. Franklin Frazier, and Toni Morrison. These and hundreds of other black scholars and artists - many of them interviewed for this volume - people an enlightened and imaginative landscape, fascinating in both its range and its diversity. Full in historical scope and cultural vision, Black Intellectuals also illuminates facets of American history such as African tribal traditions; American slavery; and black schools, churches, politics, and popular culture. It is a comprehensive and readable history of African American intellectuals.

The Middle English Harrowing of Hell and Gospel of Nicodemus

By: William Henry Hulme

First published in 1907, the publication of these Middle-English texts aimed to make the dramatic Harrowing of Hell and Gospel of Nicodemus easily accessible to students of English literature. Edited together using all known manuscripts, the volume includes the texts of the Harrowing of Hell and the Gospel of Nicodemus along with an extensive scholarly introduction on both texts. The Digby, Harley and Auchinleck manuscripts of the Harrowing are printed in three parallel columns to allow for fuller, comparative understanding, at once succinct and comprehensive. The Gospel is reproduced similarly with its Galba, Harley and Sion manuscripts along with an additional manuscript. Explanatory notes and glosses have been omitted owing to inclusion in a separate publication.

Welfare Research

By: Fiona William,Jennie Popay,Ann Oakley

First published in 1998. This book attempts to contribute a new framework for social research in the welfare field. As such, it engages with new theories, new approaches and new methods, alongside a constructive critique of both the old and the new. It attempts to illustrate approaches to conceptualization and operationalization within policy-relevant research, to reflect and explore both “new” thinking in social theory and in welfare policy, as well as to maintain a connection with “old” concerns. Our concern is with welfare research—both theory and method— broadly defined as the wider landscape of policy and provision captured, in the past at least, by the notion of the “welfare state”. The “new” thinking with which the book is primarily concerned involves a shift away from seeing people as the passive beneficiaries of “welfare” provided through state interventions and professional expertise and from seeing them as fixed single social categories of “poor”, “old”, “single parent” or as one dimensional, objective socio-economic classifications.

Randomization in Clinical Trials

Theory and Practice

By: William F. Rosenberger,John M. Lachin

A unique overview that melds the concepts of conditionalprobability and stochastic processes into real-lifeapplications The role of randomization techniques in clinical trials has becomeincreasingly important. This comprehensive guide combines both theapplied aspects of randomization in clinical trials with aprobabilistic treatment of properties of randomization. Taking anunabashedly non-Bayesian and nonparametric approach to inference,the book focuses on the linear rank test under a randomizationmodel, with added discussion on likelihood-based inference as itrelates to sufficiency and ancillarity. Developments in stochasticprocesses and applied probability are also given where appropriate.Intuition is stressed over mathematics, but not without a cleardevelopment of the latter in the context of the former. Providing a consolidated review of the field, the book includesrelevant and practical discussions of: * The benefits of randomization in terms of reduction of bias * Randomization as a basis for inference * Covariate-adaptive and response-adaptive randomization * Current philosophies, controversies, and new developments With ample problem sets, theoretical exercises, and short computersimulations using SAS, Randomization in Clinical Trials: Theory andPractice is equally useful as a standard textbook in biostatisticsgraduate programs as well as a reliable reference forbiostatisticians in practice.
