Hardback. New. Borderlands migration has been the subject of considerable study, but the authorship has usually reflected a north-of-the-border perspective only. Gathering a transnational group of prominent researchers, including leading Mexican scholars whose work is not readily available in the United States and academics from US universities, Mexican Migration to the United States brings together an array of often-overlooked viewpoints, reflecting the interconnectedness of immigration policy. This collection's research, principally empirical, reveals significant aspects of labor markets, family life, and educational processes. Presenting recent data and accessible explanations of complex histories, the essays capture the evolving legal frameworks and economic implications of Mexico-US migrations at the national and municipal levels, as well as the experiences of receiving communities in the United States. The volume includes illuminating reports on populations ranging from undocumented young adults to elite Mexican women immigrants, health-care rights, Mexico's incorporation of return migration, the impact of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals on higher education, and the experiences of young children returning to Mexican schools after living in the United States. Reflecting a multidisciplinary approach, the list of contributors includes anthropologists, demographers, economists, educators, policy analysts, and sociologists. Underscoring the fact that Mexican migration to the United States is unique and complex, this timely work exemplifies the cross-border collaboration crucial to the development of immigration policies that serve people in both countries., 6, Jacksonville, FL: Inspire [An Adducent Imprint], 2018.

Tamara Lucas Copeland recently retired after more than twelve years as president of the Washington Regional Association of Grantmakers (WRAG). In that role, she was the organization's major thought leader, helping to envision and implement work to meet the needs of the philanthropic sector and of the region. She developed the vision for and created WRAG's nationally-acclaimed work on racial equity entitled Putting Racism on the Table. She came to WRAG with extensive experience in nonprofit management, policy and children's issues having led Voices for America's Children, the National Health & Education Consortium, and the Infant Mortality Initiative of Southern Governors' Association and the Southern Legislative Conference as well as having been Congressman Bobby Scott's (D-VA) Legislative Director. In 2017, she was appointed as the Visiting Nielsen Fellow at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy to explore the role of philanthropy in addressing racial equity in the DC region and co-teach a graduate seminar on philanthropy and racial justice (2018-2021). In 2018, her memoir, Daughters of the Dream: Eight Girls from Richmond who grew up in the Civil Rights Era was published by Inspire, an imprint of Adducent. Understanding race in America--its history of oppression, inequality, inequity, prejudice and discrimination--has been a journey for many, even for me, a black person who has lived through it. Journeys begin with a want or need to move from one place to another. Sometimes they're geographic, but often they are an existential expedition to comprehend how something came to be and the impact it has on self, family or community. This book is about my growing understanding of what I and my friends experienced. And my reflection on how those events not only molded us as adults, but shaped, and continue to shape, our country. It also explores the little-examined role that everyday people play in in creating extraordinary movements for social justice. Given the title of this book, you may have a preconceived idea of what it's about. I grew up in the 1950s and '60s in Richmond, Virginia--not just any Southern city, the capital of the Confederacy, a city still with significant vestiges of that heritage--so, you might expect stories of mistreatment based on race. But that is only this book's backdrop, not its core. The story is about family, friends, cocoons of love, support and pushing beyond the constraints of boundaries. It was in college my friends and I became black. Black in the sense of a heightened awareness of racial identity. No longer a brown reflection of whites but understanding what it meant to be black. It had started in high school, but these thoughts, these realizations, matured in college as we thought about our past. Immersed all our lives in the history and heritage of European whites, we knew little of our own history, our contributions and nothing of African history. Our issues had become more nuanced as some protested racism and advocated for equality. Just as it should, college expanded our minds and Richmond and our families were no longer at the center of our thinking. Our upbringing would forever be fundamental to who we were, but not the sole determinant of who we became. Exposure to the experiences and thoughts of others from all over the country and around the world now factored into our understanding of many issues and helped to form how we viewed the world and the events of the day. History shaped us as much as our families did. So too did our friendships. And unlike the overarching effect of history or the subliminal and expected influence of family, our friendship with its extraordinary, ongoing implications has connected us to a past and provided a resonant sounding board for examining our present. Human nature desires friendships formed from shared experience, values, laughter and a few tears. It creates simple bonds, the best kind. We are family. We are the daughters of the dream. -Tamara Lucas Copeland., Inspire [An Adducent Imprint], 2018, 3, Riverdale, NY: N.p.. Original silver gelatin photograph measuring 10 x 8 inches. It shows all the members of the very first encampment and the text in the plate reads: Encampment for Citizenship/Fieldston School/Riverdale N.Y.C. 1948. Very good condition.The Encampment for Citizenship (EFC) was founded in 1946 by Algernon D. Black, a leader of the New York Society for Ethical Culture (NYSEC), and Alice K. Pollitzer, a prominent civic leader, as an opportunity for young adults of many religious, racial, social and national backgrounds to learn the principles and techniques of citizenship through lived experience. Al Black was inspired by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), but thought those programs lacked diversity and didnt explore the meaning of democracy enough for a lasting impact. The Encampment was founded on the core idea that young people can be a positive force in their communities if they develop critical thinking skills, youth activism, leadership qualities and the courage to break free from stereotypes.The sponsorship of the American Ethical Union and its affiliated societies (in particular, the New York Society for Ethical Culture) was secured, and the Encampment for Citizenship was launched. The young men and women who took part in the first Encampment for Citizenship were from every part of the United States and from several other countries. White, Black, American Indian, Japanese-American and Mexican-American, North and South, Protestant, Catholic, Jew, farmer, office worker, factory worker, miner, veteran, studentall were represented. In these early years, the Encampers were young adults in their late teens and early twenties. Eleanor Roosevelt, a long-time chair of the EFC board of sponsors, was an early supporter of the program and often hosted the entire Encampment for discussions and workshops at her Hyde Park estate. When the program was attacked by McCarthyite forces in the early 1950s, she defended it vigorously. he Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was a supporter and speaker at the Encampment. John F. Kennedy linked the Encampment with the development of vital citizenship skills and with the Peace Corps. William Haddad, EFC alum (1950) was director under Sargent Shriver at the Peace Corps and O.E.O. and had this to say: Many of us conceive of the Peace Corps as an expansion of some of the ideas outlined at the Encampment. The Encampment continued into the 1980s and 1990s. After a 16-year hiatus, the Encampment re-launched with a 2-week pilot program in Richmond, VA in 2013, followed by successful 3-week programs in Chicago, IL in 2014; Jackson, MS in 2015; and Amherst, MA in 2016.

A fine, as new copy. The Reconquista left unprecedentedly large numbers of Muslims living under Christian rule. Since Islamic religious and legal institutions had been developed by scholars who lived under Muslim rule and who assumed this condition as a given, how Muslims should proceed in the absence of such rule became the subject of extensive intellectual investigation. In Islamic Law and the Crisis of the Reconquista, Alan Verskin examines the way in which the Iberian school of Mlik law developed in response to the political, theological, and practical difficulties posed by the Reconquista. He shows how religious concepts, even those very central to the Islamic religious experience, could be rethought and reinterpreted in order to respond to the changing needs of Muslims.

Sears was a preservationist, historian, and writer. According to the Fruitlands Museum website, fascination with Bronson Alcott and his experiment win Transcendental living at Fruitlands led Sears to the Harvard and Shirley Shakers, whom she befriended and admired as much as Alcott for their ingenuity, spiritual devotion, and industry. When the Shaker community closed in 1917, Sears brought the eighteenth-century Shaker office to Fruitlands, furnished it with Shaker artwork, implements, and artifacts, many donated by the Shakers themselves. Subsequently, Sears enlisted the help of the Peabody Museum at Harvard to develop a small but exquisite Native American collection, and later still, she built the Picture Gallery to house her Hudson River School landscapes and nineteenth-century vernacular portraits. This book is a result of her intimate knowledge of the Shaker community.

For Alexander Omsy--For all the time I've spent checking out this new frontier, I've got to admit it's nice to return to civilization at the Ambassador East--Regards--Joel Garreau 10/4/91. An examination of America's edge cities--the standard form of American urban life, which includes people's homes, material goods and work--discusses their developers, builders, and inhabitants According to Joel Garreau, we are in the middle of the biggest change in 100 years in how we live, work, and play--and most of us don't even know it. By moving our jobs out to the suburbs where we live and shop, we have created Edge Cities. Garreau has spent three years visiting Edge Cities and presents a groundbreaking book about who we are, how we got that way, where we are headed and what we value. Joel Garreau (born 1948) is an American journalist, scholar, and author. In 1981, Garreau published The Nine Nations of North America. In 1991, he published Edge City: Life on the New Frontier.[2] In 2005, he published Radical Evolution: The Promise and Peril of Enhancing Our Minds, Our Bodiesand What It Means to Be Human. He has served as a fellow at Cambridge University, a Bernard L. Schwartz Fellow at New America Foundation, the University of California at Berkeley and George Mason University. Previously, he was a reporter and editor at The Washington Post. Edge city is a term that originated in the United States for a concentration of business, shopping, and entertainment outside a traditional downtown or central business district, in what had previously been a suburban residential or rural area. The term was popularized by the 1991 book Edge City: Life on the New Frontier by Joel Garreau, who established its current meaning while working as a reporter for The Washington Post. Garreau argues that the edge city has become the standard form of urban growth worldwide, representing a 20th-century urban form unlike that of the 19th-century central downtown. Other terms for these areas include suburban activity centers, megacenters, and suburban business districts. These districts have now developed in many countries. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Garreau shows that Americans, weary of daily commutes between suburb and city, are developing concentrated communities near major metropolitan areas that blend home, workplace, schools and recreation. He calls these all-inclusive urban centers `edge cities': among them, White Plains, near Manhattan; King of Prussia, outside of Philadelphia; Scottsdale and Tempe, adjacent to Phoenix. Nine chapters on specific regions include interviews with modern `pioneers,' professionals who have chosen the edge-city lifestyle, and planners such as controversial Northern Virginia developer John T. (Til) Hazel. Edge-city proponents make a case for practicality, safety and cultural growth, while detractors cite bland artificiality and environmental threats in the expanding realm of industrial parks and strip malls. Garreau maintains a casual style, incorporating statistical data, historical references and regional data into an eminently readable, thought-provoking, optimistic text., Doubleday, 1991, 3<

New. During the past few years, groups like the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Center for Education have been placing great emphasis on the significance of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education. In brief, the US is seen as falling behind the rest of the world in science and technology education. In response, the curricula have been revised in many educational institutions and school districts across the country. It is clear that for STEM to be successful, other community organizations, most particularly libraries, need to be closely involved in the process. Library staff realize the importance of getting involved in STEM education, but many have difficulty finding comprehensive information that will help them plan and successfully implement STEM direction in their organization. This book is designed to meet that need. It is timely and relevant. How to STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Education in Libraries is by and for libraries who are involved in contributing efforts into advancing these subjects. It is organized in 9 parts including funding, grant writing, community partnerships, outreach, research, and examples of specific programming activities. Authors are drawn from the professional staffs of educational institutions, libraries, and non-profit organizations such as science museums. The book contains eight parts, each emphasizing a different aspect of how to succeed with STEM. Part 1 emphasizes how hands-on activities that are both fun and educational can be used to further STEM awareness. Parts 2 and 3 contain chapters on the uniting of STEM with Information Literacy. Innovative collection development ideas are discussed in Part 4 and Part 5 focuses on research and publishing. Outreach is the theme of Part 6 and the programs described in these chapters offer an array of ways to connect with students of all ages. The final section of How to STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Education in Libraries addresses the funding of these programs. Librarians of all types will be pleased to discover easy-to-implement suggestions for collaborative efforts, many rich and diverse programming ideas, strategies for improving reference services and library instruction to speakers of English as a second language, marketing and promotional tips designed to welcome multicultural patrons into the library, and much more., 6, U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, CO: USAF Institute For National Security Studies, 2006.

Mike Wheeler is an authority on negotiation theory and practice. Since joining the Harvard Business School faculty in 1993, he has taught negotiation and leadership to thousands of MBA and Executive Program students. In 2017 his eight-week Negotiation Mastery course launched on HBS Online. It has now been taken by leaders, managers, and students from 153 countries around the globe. He admits that over the years he's become a something of a contrarian. Specifically, he's skeptical about popular one-size-fits-all approaches, whether they're of the "win-win" or "take no prisoners" variety. Instead, his view is that great negotiators are also great improvisors. They are agile strategically and quick on their feet moment-to-moment. After all, the people you deal with have their own hands on the steering wheel, too. You can't script what they choose to say and do, any more than you'd let them dominate you. Adaptability is key for negotiation success from start to finish. For more about this approach, see his Jazz of Negotiation newsletter, which launched in January, 2021. He cohosts the Agility at Work podcast with Dr. Kimberlyn Leary. His other research interests include emotion and inter-personal dynamics; computer-based technologies for teaching, managing, and studying negotiation; and negotiation ethics. International security negotiations and agreements (one seldom sees the term "arms control" in active government parlance today) have always been a focus of debate within the political and policy communities. The debate weighs the "promises" on one side against the "pitfalls" presented by the other, with varied interpretations of the relative danger or effectiveness of each individual negotiation or treaty. This paper cuts through much of that debate, presenting detailed analyses of diplomacy, negotiations, and agreements prior to, across, and beyond the Cold War. It examines motivations and expectations, rationale for results, criteria for "success," key factors that explain various outcomes, and draws lessons for today and beyond. From the early nuclear age experience of the Baruch Plan (and Wheeler is perhaps THE expert here), through negotiations on testing, across the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and through detailed development of the strategic and theater arms limitation, reduction, and elimination negotiations, Wheeler develops the negotiations and agreements in relevant detail. He then presents a balanced discussion of the relative and weighted contributions of the overall process and its products, giving both sides of the debate its due. But perhaps even a bigger contribution than this historical journey and analysis is Wheeler's development of the "lessons" that we should draw to apply today and into the future. He draws general observations about international security negotiations, and then presents equally sharp "lessons" on both the United States and Soviet/Russian negotiation behaviors. This templatenegotiations process, self knowledge, adversary/opposite party insightsshould apply to any security discussion and decision. And he ends with five general "lessons" on international security negotiations and five "general principles" of negotiations that should also frame our approach to all cooperative security discussions and efforts today and tomorrow., USAF Institute For National Security Studies, 2006, 2.5, Geneva : ORT Union, 1960.
