Changes at the global, federal, state, and municipal level are
pushing forward the reparations movement for people of African
descent. The distinguished editors of this volume have gathered
works that chronicle the historical movement for reparations both
in the United States and around the world. Sharing a focus on
reparations as an issue of justice, the contributors provide a
historical primer of the movement; introduce the philosophical,
political, economic, legal and ethical issues surrounding
reparations; explain why government, corporations, universities,
and other institutions must take steps to rehabilitate, compensate,
and commemorate African Americans; call for the restoration of
Black people’s human and civil rights and material and
psychological well-being; lay out specific ideas about how
reparations can and should be paid; and advance cutting-edge
interpretations of the complex long-lasting effects that
enslavement, police and vigilante actions, economic discrimination,
and other behaviors have had on people of African descent.
Groundbreaking and innovative, Reparations and Reparatory Justice
offers a multifaceted resource to anyone wishing to explore a
defining moral issue of our time. Contributors: Dedrick

The finite element method is a technique for solving problems in
applied science and engineering. The essence of this book is the
application of the finite element method to the solution of
boundary and initial-value problems posed in terms of partial
differential equations. The method is developed for the solution of
Poisson's equation, in a weighted-residual context, and then
proceeds to time-dependent and nonlinear problems. The relationship
with the variational approach is also explained. This book is
written at an introductory level, developing all the necessary
concepts where required. Consequently, it is well-placed to be used
as a textbook for a course in finite elements for final year
undergraduates, the usual place for studying finite elements. There
are worked examples throughout and each chapter has a set of
exercises with detailed solutions.
Issac Asimov once said "I write for the same reason I breathe -
because if I didn't I would die." I feel the same way. My poetry is
an outlet for my frustration, my anger, my happiness, and my
confusion. While reading the poetry contained in these pages you
may feel those same emotions. My goal was to trap these feelings in
the moment and set them free. Some of these pages contain advice
that may benefit you in some way. Take to heart the words and
emotions trapped here and then set your problems free as well.
Don't let them drown you..... just let them go.
