There are nearly 6,000 mammalian species, among them our own.
Research on our evolutionary cousins has a long history, but the
last 20 years have seen particularly rapid progress in
disentangling the interrelationships and evolutionary history of
mammals. The present volume combines up-to-date reviews on
mammalian phylogenetics with paleontological, taxonomic and
evolutionary chapters and also summarizes the historical
development of our insights in mammalian relationships, and thus
our own place in the Tree of Life. Our book places the present
biodiversity crisis in context, with one in four mammal species
threatened by extinction, and reviews the distribution and
conservation of mammalian diversity across the globe. This volume
is the introductory tome to the new Mammalia series of the Handbook
of Zoology and will be essential reading for mammalogists,
zoologists and conservationists alike.
The United States is truly a nation of immigrants, or as the poet
Walt Whitman once said, a ""nation of nations."" Spanning the time
from when the Europeans first came to the New World to the present
day, the new ""Immigration to the United States"" set conveys the
excitement of these stories to young people. Beginning with a brief
preface to the set written by general editor Robert Asher that
discusses some of the broad reasons why people came to the New
World, both as explorers and settlers, each book's narrative
highlights the themes, people, places, and events that were
important to each immigrant group. In an engaging, informative
manner, each volume describes what members of a particular group
found when they arrived in the United States as well as where they
settled. Historical information and background on the various
communities present life as it was lived at the time they arrived.
The books then trace the group's history and current status in the
United States. Each volume includes photographs and illustrations
such as passports and other artifacts of immigration, as well as
quotes from original source materials. Box features highlight
special topics or people, and each book is rounded out with a
glossary, timeline, further reading list, and index.

Given the fundamental changes that transformed American society in
the years between Benjamin Franklin's apprenticeship in a printer's
shop and mid-19th-century efforts to organize labouring men and
women, no social group offers a more interesting spectacle than
skilled tradesmen or artisans. They came from various ethnic
backgrounds (some worked in slavery), took their religion and
politics seriously, lived mostly in cities but also in the
countryside, and in many cases became pillars of their communities.
This book examines the role of artisans in the American economy and
society in the 18th and 19th centuries. Going beyond the
traditional story of the decline of journeyman status, it explores
a variety of themes loosely centred around opportunities in the
developing economy. Indeed, many of these essays explore
entrepreneurial ideals among many artisans competing in the
marketplace. This collection also examines the interaction of race
and the artisan economy in southern cities. It traces the economic
relationships from father to son or between merchant and artisan,
and explores the culture and politics of artisans, including
religion, third-party politics, and the interaction of gender and
reform.
