Why Race Matters

Jack Pannell

When the urban neighborhood where William Lunch Money Barnes lives becomes too rough, his mother moves his family in the middle of the school year to an all-white suburb 50 miles away. The good-natured Barnes runs into one problem: everyone, including the middle school’s basketball coach, assumes that since he is African American and from the inner city, he must be great at basketball and can save the school team’s season. Unfortunately, Barnes is not an athlete, and contrary to assumptions about black kids, he’s terrible at basketball! Trouble arises when the school discovers that Lunch Money Can’t Shoot!

Lunch Money Can't Shoot

Angela Harrelson

Angela Harrelson grew up poor, one of thirteen brothers and sisters raised in a shack in the North Carolina woods. She was first in her family to go to college, first to be commissioned in the military, and first to have a career as a professional nurse. Along the way, she and her family were exposed to the harshest forms of racism—from her childhood riding the school bus with white children who made the Black kids stand, to racist commanding officers in the Air Force who told her they wanted her to fail. Nothing stopped Angela, and nothing removed the hope in her heart that America could learn to stop hating people based on the color of their skin. This is the story of George Floyd’s aunt, Angela Harrelson, and how, after being suddenly thrust into the spotlight, she went on a quest to make sure her nephew did not die in vain. Lift Your Voice is a memoir of faith, hope, and bravery, of what we all—Black and white—need to do to eradicate racism from our society. It’s a story of tragic loss and a worldwide uprising to ensure Perry’s death ushers society into a time where people are no longer judged, hated, or killed because of the color of their skin.

“Is the 12 step program suitable for Jews? In this book Michael Levin shows with learning, sensitivity and wisdom why the answer is a resounding ‘Yes.’” –Rabbi David Wolpe “Shikkur is a goy.” This Yiddish phrase means “Only Gentiles can be alcoholics,” but it’s not true. Jews suffer from alcoholism and addiction at the same rate as everyone else in society. Due to the stigma surrounding addiction in our community, people are dying unnecessarily…because they believe they can’t get help. Jews and Booze attacks the stigmas surrounding addiction and recovery in our world.

Everyone thinks kids hate math. But the truth is, kids don't hate math--they hate worksheets! Writing down equations takes fine motor skills that young children haven't yet developed, making the process of learning math difficult and tedious. Math done mentally, or verbal math, makes math fun. Children see math problems as a game and a challenge. In the second edition of this pioneering educational bestseller, handwriting is removed from math problems to help children cement fundamental mathematical skills so that they may solve problems without having to do any writing at all. Developed as a supplement to traditional math education, the lesson is completely comprehensive, step-by-step, and leaves no area undone. The first book of the series introduces children to the basic concept of adding and subtracting, and works its way up to math problems involving numbers with double digits. The book is meant for children between the ages of 5 and 7.

Laurence Thomas

What rights govern heterosexual and homosexual behaviors? Two distinguished philosophers debate this important issue in Sexual Orientation and Human Rights. Laurence M. Thomas argues that a society which has the constitutional resources to protect hate groups can protect homosexuals without valorizing the homosexual life-style. He defends the view that the Bible cannot warrant the venom that, in the name of religion, is often expressed against homosexuals. Michael E. Levin defends the unorthodox view that the aversion some people experience toward homosexuality deserves respect. He further argues that while homosexuals enjoy the same rights as others to be free of violence and discrimination, they do not have more extensive rights.

Dit boek is het ware verhaal van de undercover FBI agent die gedurende een aantal jaren deel uitmaakte van de meest beruchte maffiafamilie. De reeks arrestaties die volgde bracht de georganiseerde misdaad in New York forse klappen toe. Joaquin Garcia was hij eerder undercover als witwasser in Philadelphia en handelaar in gestolen goederen in Miami. Daarna doorliep hij een loodzware training. Op een interne maffia-opleiding van de FBI leerde hij om te lopen, te praten en te denken zoals een maffiaman. Hier kreeg Joaquin Garcia ook zijn nieuwe identiteit: Hij werd Jack Falcone. Uiteindelijk deed zich de gelegenheid voor om de schimmige wereld van la Cosa Nostra te infiltreren. In het New Yorkse milieu kwam Jack Falcone in contact met een van de capos van de Gambino familie, Greg de Palma. Deze introduceerde hem in de schimmige wereld van mishandeling, moord, afpersing en heel dikke enveloppen met bankbiljetten. Jack Falcone groeide uit tot een van De Palma's meest gewaardeerde gangleden. Joaquin 'Jack' Garcia werkte ruim 25 jaar als special agent voor de FBI. Undercover-acties werden zijn specialiteit. Voor zijn werk werd hij vele malen onderscheiden, o.a. met de FBI's Director's Award for Investigative Excellence en The Federal Law Enforcement Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award.

A study investigating how the founders of Marxism came to terms with the emergence of liberal democracy as a political system. It examines, in language without jargon, how they defined democracy and how they evaluated the liberal constitutional state, by placing their ideas in historical context.

Marx, Engels and Liberal Democracy

The book views the 'hungry forties' through the writings of the conservative Thomas Carlyle, the liberal John Stuart Mill and the socialist Friedrich Engels. It is unsurprising that one of the most fraught decades of modern British history produced socio-political literature of such interest and intensity. The rapid growth of industrial cities, the emergence of working-class organizations and rising middle class power as well as revolutions abroad in 1848 made this a tumultuous time. These writers provide extensive, diverse and high quality reflections on the tensions produced in this key period of transition to an industrial, democratic society.
