This book explores why Black men continue to be severely underrepresented in the STEM disciplines. It provides chapters that explore factors that lead to underrepresentation of Black males in STEM (e.g., societal traditions of what type of work is appropriate; the ruptured pipeline that leads to higher rates of attrition at every level of career development; barriers in science fields such as subtle and overt discrimination; and inequitable resources and opportunities). The premise of this volume is if Black males are to compete in an emerging global economy fueled by rapid innovation and marked by an astonishing pace of technological breakthroughs, they must be present. The book makes new contributions to the field. The collective of higher education professionals and change agents whom are tied to STEM bring cutting-edge thinking in how best to address the leaky STEM pipeline which has left the industry/workforce void of talented Black men. The volume promises timely, relevant and emergent scholarship and perspectives for STEM leadership, scholars and supporters. It provides promising practices (best practices) and recommendations in recruiting and retaining Black males in STEM disciplines and the competitive market place.

Three weeks before Christmas 1913 two men are found savagely murdered under the Christmas tree. Each man harbors a dark secret brought to light only after his murder. Were their deaths the ultimate punishment for those secrets? Or something even more sinister? These men were only two of a list of others who have fallen to the killer's savage vengeance. The mysterious suspect's identity only raises more questions. Past and present tangle as the suspect tries to hold to the little sanity left while navigating love loss.losing her man to another man.

This study asks whether transplanting banks can solve the problems involved in creating a well functioning market economy from outside, looking especially at the virtual complete takeover of East German banks by their Western counterparts after unification. Drawing on a wide range of English and German sources, and fieldwork interviews across Germany, it argues that there are no quick-fix solutions to transition to a market. Implications are discussed for East Germany and for other previously centrally planned economies, and the global implications of foreign ownership in banking are considered.

Algal systematists, geologists and evolutionary biologists provide a synthesis of the evolutionary biogeography of red, brown, and green algae of the North Atlantic Ocean also considering their relationships with species and genera in the Arctic and Pacific Oceans as well as other subtropical and tropical seas. The history of the Atlantic Basin and its connections to other ocean basins is treated from the geological, paleontological and paleoclimatic perspective. This is contrasted with biogeographic analyses of marine animal systems and the role of plant/animal interactions in evolution. Some of the approaches include traditional systematic studies, cladistic analysis, the experimental evaluation of environment in establishing distribution limits and the application of molecular biology.

The plot elements that Shakespeare employed for his plays were used - and reused - for a reason. Shipwrecks, nobles disguised as servants and magical objects were stock and trade for what the audience wanted to see and common metaphors for what they would understand. Such tropes provided a key to translating the story to a packed house of groundlings and nobles. By taking those elements familiar in 'The Tempest' '12th Night', 'Errors' and more, rearranging them into a new constellation of ideas, a fresh picture has been drawn - "To Each Their Own." Three servants, thrown onto the shore of their master's enemies, must pretend to be noble. Their masters, mistaken for servants, must pretend to know how to labor. Three husband-seeking daughters add to the confusion when the masters and their servants must pretend to be things they are not to stay alive. Love, Hate, Jealousy and a Golden Lion of Death help discover the perfect truth of the way things are. "To Each Their Own" is a play written to be slipped into the canon at The Globe Theatre in Shakespeare's time. The play is filled with mistaken identities, fumbling antics, touching tales and a soaring, understandable language full of poetry and meaning. Welcome to the 2nd Elizabethan Age, with a work that would fit on the First Elizabeth's Stage. If you like 'Shakespeare In Love', 'Stage Beauty', 'Yes', 'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead', then make "To Each Their Own" your own. "To Each Their Own" is meant for performance, but is quite readable as a story. To be performed, about 14 actors are necessary with minimum set and maximum imagination. Unless, like the character Anto, you cry "O' kill me now before an actor play " you will enjoy enacting this work - in your mind or with friends.
