'Kendrick Lamar understands and employs blues, jazz, and soul in
his music, which makes it startling. His work is more than merely
brilliant; it is magic' Toni Morrison 'Lamar is a man living on a
real and metaphorical peak, with one eye trained on the heavens,
the other searching for stories in the valley below' Guardian
__________ Kendrick Lamar is at the top of his game. He has been
described as the poet Laureate of hip-hop, perceptive,
philosophical, unapologetic, fearless, and an innovative
storyteller whose body of work has been compared to James Joyce and
James Baldwin. He is a visionary who will go down as history as one
of the most important artists of all time. But what's so striking
about Kendrick Lamar, aside from his impressive accolades, is how
he's effectively established himself as a formidable opponent of
oppression, a force for change. Through his confessional poetics,
his politically charged anthems, and his radical performances,
Lamar has become a beacon of light for many people in America.
Written by veteran journalist and music critic Marcus J. Moore,
this is the first biography of Kendrick Lamar. It's the definitive
account of his coming-of-age as an artist, his resurrection of
jazz, his profound impact on a racially fraught America, and his
emergence as the bona fide King of Rap. The book traces not only
Lamar's powerful impact on music but also on our current society,
especially under the weight of police brutality, divisive politics,
and social injustice. With exclusive interviews with his family,
friends, and record producers, this book is the must-read for any
fan. The Butterfly Effect is the extraordinary, triumphant story of
a modern lyrical prophet and an American icon who has given hope to
those buckling under the weight of systemic oppression, reminding
everyone that through it all, "we gon' be alright". __________
'Essential reading' Rolling Stone 'By the end of listening to his
first full album, I felt like I knew everything about him. He
brings you into his world with his lyrics in a way that really
paints a clear picture' Eminem 'I love everything about his music.
I can literally listen to his music and become a kid growing up
with all the struggles in the inner city, but at the same time
[learn] all the lessons it taught that we use as men today.' Lebron
James 'For a gentle dude, he throws a righteous punch; I wouldn't
get in the way of it. No single artist will ever be the antidote to
a generation's malaise, but just identifying some of the problems
really helps' Bono 'Kendrick Lamar is a master of storytelling' New
York

Thousands of young men embarked on the adventure of a lifetime when
they joined the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great
Depression. Service at Wisconsin's most popular state park offered
notoriety absent at most camp assignments. While most of the CCC
work around the country was in remote forests and farmlands, at
Devil's Lake tourists could view CCC project activity each day,
forging that labor into an essential part of the park experience.

The Handbook of Research on STEM Education represents a
groundbreaking and comprehensive synthesis of research and
presentation of policy within the realm of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. What distinguishes
this Handbook from others is the nature of integration of the
disciplines that is the founding premise for the work - all
chapters in this book speak directly to the integration of STEM,
rather than discussion of research within the individual content
areas. The Handbook of Research on STEM Education explores the most
pressing areas of STEM within an international context. Divided
into six sections, the authors cover topics including: the nature
of STEM, STEM learning, STEM pedagogy, curriculum and assessment,
critical issues in STEM, STEM teacher education, and STEM policy
and reform. The Handbook utilizes the lens of equity and access by
focusing on STEM literacy, early childhood STEM, learners with
disabilities, informal STEM, socio-scientific issues, race-related
factors, gender equity, cultural-relevancy, and parental
involvement. Additionally, discussion of STEM education policy in a
variety of countries is included, as well as a focus on engaging
business/industry and teachers in advocacy for STEM education. The
Handbook's 37 chapters provide a deep and meaningful landscape of
the implementation of STEM over the past two decades. As such, the
findings that are presented within provide the reader with clear
directions for future research into effective practice and supports
for integrated STEM, which are grounded in the literature to date.

POLICE ETHICS, 2nd Edition complements traditional police training
by illustrating the importance of and techniques for employing
ethics in law enforcement. Ethical clarity is especially critical
for the police professional - perhaps uniquely so - because the
ethical point of view determines the way "police competence" is
understood. In addition to the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics, the
book promotes an "ethic to live by" for officers, and applies
various schools of ethical thought to practical examples in
policing. The authors avoid dictating rules and labeling behaviors
as inherently good or bad, instead providing the tools necessary
for making intelligent, impartial decisions from a positive
perspective. Expanded to include philosophical background,
practical applications, and more examples of ethics in action,
POLICE ETHICS, 2nd Edition is an ideal resource for officers in
training and experienced professionals alike.
The image most of us have of whalers includes harpoons and
intentional trauma. Yet eating commercially caught seafood leads to
whales' entanglement and slow death in rope and nets, and the
global shipping routes that bring us readily available goods often
lead to death by collision. We-all of us-are whalers, marine
scientist and veterinarian Michael J. Moore contends. But we do not
have to be. Drawing on over forty years of fieldwork with humpback,
pilot, fin, and in particular, North Atlantic right whales-a
species whose population has declined more than twenty percent
since 2017-Moore takes us with him as he performs whale necropsies
on animals stranded on beaches, in his independent research
alongside whalers using explosive harpoons, and as he tracks
injured whales to deliver sedatives. The whales' plight is a
complex, confounding, and disturbing one. We learn of existing but
poorly enforced conservation laws and of perennial (and often
failed) efforts to balance the push for fisheries profit versus the
protection of endangered species caught by accident. But despite
these challenges, Moore's tale is an optimistic one. He shows us
how technologies for rope-less fishing and the acoustic tracking of
whale migrations make a dramatic difference. And he looks ahead
with hope as our growing understanding of these extraordinary
creatures fuels an ever-stronger drive for change.
