Paperback. Condition: Good. At a time when popular solutions to the educational plight of poor children of color are imposed from the outside-national standards, high-stakes tests, charismatic individual saviors-the acclaimed Algebra Project and its founder, Robert Moses, offer a vision of school reform based in the power of communities. Begun in 1982, the Algebra Project is transforming math education in twenty-five cities. Founded on the belief that math-science literacy is a prerequisite for full citizenship in society, the Project works with entire communities-parents, teachers, and especially students-to create a culture of literacy around algebra, a crucial stepping-stone to college math and opportunity. Telling the story of this remarkable program, Robert Moses draws on lessons from the 1960s Southern voter registration he famously helped organize: 'Everyone said sharecroppers didn't want to vote. It wasn't until we got them demanding to vote that we got attention. Today, when kids are falling wholesale through the cracks, people say they don't want to learn. We have to get the kids themselves to demand what everyone says they don't want.' We see the Algebra Project organizing community by community. Older kids serve as coaches for younger students and build a self-sustained tradition of leadership. Teachers use innovative techniques. And we see the remarkable success stories of schools like the predominately poor Hart School in Bessemer, Alabama, which outscored the city's middle-class flagship school in just three years. Radical Equations provides a model for anyone looking for a community-based solution to the problems of our disadvantaged schools.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. *Includes pictures *Includes accounts of the ships and their histories written by crewmembers *Includes online resources and bibliographies for further reading *Includes a table of contents On March 8, 1862, the newest era of naval warfare began. That day, the CSS Virginia, an ironclad created out of the hull of the scuttled USS Merrimac by the Confederates, sailed down the Elizabeth River to Hampton Roads, where a Union blockade fleet was anchored. The wooden ships of the North were no match for the ironclad, which quickly rammed and sank the USS Cumberland, and as it trained its sights on the USS Congress, one Union officer noted the former Merrimac fired "shot and shell into her with terrific effect, while the shot from the Congress glanced from her iron-plated sloping sides, without doing any apparent injury." The Merrimac had overwhelmingly demonstrated the superiority of the ironclad over the traditional frigates and gunships of the time, but it met its match the following day. On March 9, the North's ironclad, the USS Monitor, arrived to challenge the Confederate ironclad, setting off the most famous naval battle of the war. Throughout the war, the Confederate Navy tried to fight off the Union blockade but was seriously outgunned. Confederate blockade runners, independent operators with fast ships, became national heroes for their daring races across the ocean with Union warships hot on their heels. While their adventures made for good headlines, the goods they slipped through the blockade weren't nearly enough to solve the chronic shortages. The South needed a different solution. It needed some sort of vessel that could defeat the blockading ships and yet be within the financial and technological means of the Confederate war chest. It was the proposed solution to this problem that led to one of the strangest and inspiring stories of the Civil War-that of the CSS H. L. Hunley, the first submarine to successfully sink an enemy vessel. It is the story of its obsessive inventor, Horace Lawson Hunley, and his brave and determined crewmembers. It is also a story of technology well ahead of its time. However, as historic and groundbreaking as the Hunley and its mission was, all of that may be overshadowed by the lingering debate over just what happened to the submarine, which never made it back to port after the attack. Among all the Confederate commerce raiders, by far the most famous was the CSS Alabama. The Alabama attacked American ships and eluded the U.S. Navy around the globe for more than two years, all without ever having docked at a Southern port. The Alabama conducted seven expeditions, raiding commerce in locations as diverse as the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Atlantic Ocean, capturing dozens of prizes across tens of thousands of miles of water. In fact, the Alabama would meet its demise as a result of having to head into port in France to refit and repair the ship after so much heavy use. While the Confederates tried to rely on blockade runners, the Union Navy assigned many ships the task of tracking them down and stopping them. One of these ships, the USS Kearsarge, would face off against the Alabama off the French coast. Unaware the Union ship was partly fitted with the armor of an ironclad, the Confederates decided to attack, and after the Alabama was escorted out of the French harbor by French ships, the Alabama and Kearsage dueled with each other in full view of hundreds of Frenchmen gathered on the coast. The battle lasted about an hour until the Alabama was headed to the bottom and dozens of its sailors were killed or wounded. The Most Famous Ships of the Confederacy: The History of the Merrimac, CSS Alabama, and CSS Hunley looks at the unique history of these legendary ships and the battles they fought. Along with pictures, you will learn about these Confederate ships like never before. This i Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. From nationally renowned school food reform expert and Cook for America(R) co-founder KATE ADAMICK comes this timely book dispelling the myth that school food reform is cost prohibitive.

This book is a must for anyone who works with school food as well as parents who care what their kids eat in school. - MARION NESTLE, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University and author of What to Eat and Food Politics Ever since childhood obesity put improving the quality of school food on the national agenda, the conventional wisdom has been that fresh preparation on site - 'scratch cooking' - is too expensive to consider.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What happens when the cameras are turned off, when the doors lock behind you, and when the world stops watching? In Alabama's prisons, the answer is a nightmare that most Americans never see-and one that those in power have fought desperately to keep hidden. Behind the razor wire and concrete walls of facilities like Easterling and Donaldson, a horror story has been unfolding for decades. Men beaten until their skulls cave in. Rats swimming in cell toilets. Bloodstained walls that tell stories the state refuses to acknowledge. Forced labor without pay. Deaths covered up as "incidents." Guards who supply the very drugs they're supposed to prevent. This is not fiction. This is not exaggeration. This is the reality of one of America's deadliest prison systems-a reality that prisoners themselves risked torture, solitary confinement, and death to expose. The Alabama Solution takes you inside this world through the eyes of those who lived it. Meet Melvin Ray and Robert Earl Council, incarcerated activists who spent years secretly documenting the abuse, studying law in their cells, and organizing resistance movements while facing brutal retaliation. Walk alongside Sandy Ray, a grieving mother who refused to accept the official story of her son Steven Davis's death-a young man whose face was literally beaten beyond recognition by guards, his body found in a bag, his murder covered up by a system that protects its own. Witness the extraordinary courage of men who smuggled cell phones past corrupt guards to capture footage the world was never meant to see, knowing that discovery could cost them their lives. This is more than a story about Alabama. It's a revelation about America itself-about a prison industrial complex that operates in shadows, about a legal system that turns a blind eye to constitutional violations, about taxpayer dollars funding brutality while politicians deny reality. It's about the 13th Amendment's loophole that still permits slavery as punishment for crime. It's about overcrowding at 200 percent capacity, about understaffing that creates chaos, about a state government that chooses defiance over reform even as bodies pile up. But it's also a story of resistance. Of men who refused to be silenced. Of families who demanded justice. Of filmmakers who spent six years piecing together the truth. Of ordinary people doing extraordinary things because someone had to bear witness. The truth has been revealed. The question now is: what will you do with it? Will you look away, as so many have done for so long? Or will you bear witness to what happens in your name, funded by your tax dollars, hidden behind walls designed to keep you from seeing? The Alabama Solution is your invitation to see what they tried to hide. To understand how a system can fail so catastrophically. To recognize that these aren't just "criminals" or "inmates"-they're human beings, American citizens, people who deserve basic dignity and constitutional rights. Most importantly, it's your call to action in a movement that can no longer be ignored. Read this book. Share these stories. Demand accountability. Because once you know the truth, silence becomes complicity. And the men who risked everything to get this story out deserve more than our awareness-they deserve our action. The walls of silence have been broken. Now it's your turn to listen. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: New. Genius Belabored is the fascinating story of Ignaz Semmelweis, a nineteenth-century obstetrician ostracized for his strident advocacy of disinfection as a way to prevent childbed fever, a leading cause of mortality in new mothers. In Genius Belabored: Childbed Fever and the Tragic Life of Ignaz Semmelweis, Theodore G. Obenchain traces the life story of a nineteenth-century Hungarian obstetrician who was shunned and marginalized by the medical establishment for advancing a far-sighted but unorthodox solution to the appalling mortality rates that plagued new mothers of the day.   In engrossing detail, Obenchain recreates for readers the sights, smells, and activities within a hospital of that day. In an era before the acceptance of modern germ science, physicians saw little need for cleanliness or hygiene. As a consequence, antiseptic measures were lax and rudimentary. Especially vulnerable to contamination were new mothers, who frequently contracted and died from childbed fever (puerperal fever). Genius Belabored follows Semmelweis's awakening to the insight that many of these deaths could be avoided with basic antiseptic measures like hand washing.   The medical establishment, intellectually unprepared for Semmelweis's prescient hypothesis, rejected it for a number of reasons. It was unorthodox and went against the lingering Christian tradition that the dangers of childbirth were inherent to the lives of women. Complicating matters, colleagues did not consider Semmelweis an easy physician to work with. His peers described him as strange and eccentric. Obenchain offers an empathetic and insightful argument that Semmelweis suffered from bipolar disorder and illuminates how his colleagues, however dedicated to empirical science they might have been, misjudged Semmelweis's methods based upon ignorance and their emotional discomfort with him.   In Genius Belabored, Obenchain identifies Semmelweis's rightful place in the pantheon of scientists and physicians whose discoveries have saved the lives of millions. Obenchain's biography of Semmelweis offers unique insights into the practice of medicine and the mindsets of physicians working in the premodern era. This fascinating study offers much of interest to general readers as well as those interested in germ theory, the history of medicine and obstetrics, or anyone wishing to better understand the trajectory of modern medicine.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Water policy in United States is one of the most complex topics in the field of public policy. This book, a comparative study of Texas, California, and Alabama's drought response, provides for the first time a common framework for analysis to investigate how water scarcity and droughts have interacted with various state-level factors to produce a wide degree of variance in policy innovations. Using Toddi Steelman's (2010) conceptual framework, the authors examine multiple variables that impact water policy innovation, while showing how one policy solution does not fit all. They expertly demonstrate divergence in water policies due to the environmental cultures, water distribution, and structures in each case, despite similar drought conditions.As water is increasingly stressed in the future, the ability to draw on lessons learned by these states will provide valuable insight to other entities that face droughts and water shortages. The Drought Dilemma is a must read for all those looking for recommendations for the construction of drought policy, as well as future approaches to understand comparative state drought policy.…
