Marelle (Christina Ricci). His peasant background has soon become a

America's drug laws have always exerted an unequal and unfair toll
on Blacks and Latinos, who are arrested more often than Whites for
the possession of illegal drugs and given harsher sentences. In
this volume, contributors ask how would marijuana legalization
affect communities of color? Is legalization of marijuana necessary
to safeguard minority families from a lifetime of hardship and
inequality? Who in minority communities favors legalization and
why, and do these minority opinions differ from the opinions held
by White Americans? This volume also includes analyses of the
policy debate by a range of scholars addressing economic, health,
and empowerment issues. Comparative lessons from other countries
are also analyzed.

Religious Leaders and Faith-Based Politics: Ten Profiles offers a
powerful and timely analysis of the dynamic relationship between
religious leaders of all faiths and political activism in the
United States. By examining the lives and works of such prominent
leaders as Reverend Floyd Flake, Bishop T. D. Jakes, Reverend Al
Sharpton, Elder Dallin H. Oakes, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, Reverend
Benjamin Chavis-Muhammed, and Sister Maureen Fiedler, this volume
reveals an American tradition of religious influence on public
policy that continues to be an important hallmark of our democracy.
From the colonial era to the present, religious leaders have raised
AmericansO moral and political awareness of countless issues,
including revolution, slavery, temperance, civil rights, and, most
recently, the culture wars. This book is the first to explore the
renewed and intense commitment of evangelicals, Catholics, Muslims,
and Jews to preach, teach, and participate in politics today. Among
the questions answered in this book: are religious leaders today as
active and vocal as the radicals of the turbulent 1960s? Are these
activists still involved in civil rights or have other contentious
topics such as abortion and traditional family values preempted
such issues? In the wake of the 2000 election and at the start of a
new administration committed to elevating the role of religion in
politics, Jo Renee Formicola, Hubert Morken, and this prominent
collection of contributors ask might we expect greater American
religious involvement in the years ahead? This is essential reading
for anyone interested in religious and political activism, or the
evolving relationship between church and state in America.

The Business of Environmental Health and Safety Management. Your
guide to creating powerful arguments to communicate where financial
investments coincide with corporate environmental health and safety
(EH&S) needs. It is called persuasion, and great EH&S
managers are learning the language of business to communicate the
value of their programs and ideas to executive management. We have
the opportunity to transform our company's requests, needs, good
practices, and sustainability concepts into objective business
statements that can stand the scrutiny of employees, managers,
environmentalists, and shareholders. We can transform the paradox
from managers begging for financial resources to a place where
management can see the value in a return on investment. The
business of environmental health and safety management is a
groundbreaking book that charts the rise of demonstrating value
from EH&S investments within the business world. The book takes
the reader on a step-by-step journey to empower them to objectify
subjective data and to show how financial success will go hand in
hand with responsible stewardship of environmental health, safety,
and sustainability achievements. James Lieberman chronicles both
the challenges that companies and managers face and the path
forward to create solutions using tried and true financial tools.
His vision will illuminate the path for the next generation of
managers to make a real impact in their organizations and
communities. Lieberman identifies and explains the underlying
concepts to use clearly, with plenty of realistic examples. Readers
will be able to grasp and use financial concepts and calculations
like seasoned managers. His book will help managers from
organizations of all sizes and industries make their case. In the
final analysis, managers will come to realize that demonstrating
value in financial terms is the fundamental approach to success.
Author Bio: James L. Lieberman knows about environmental health and
safety management from over 25 years of practice in the field. He
has been the president of his own consulting business,
Environmental Information Services, for ten years, and has
experience helping both large and small companies come into
compliance in cost effective ways. For ten years, he was the
EH&S manager for Array BioPharma, a Colorado drug discovery
company. Lieberman is again a consultant and lives in Boulder, CO.

(Luke de Woolfson). Meanwhile, William (Rocky Marshall) is finding
it hard letting his new love interest Lawrence (Leon Ockenden) into
his life, especially as his nine-year old daughter keeps throwing a
spanner in the works. Finally, successful artist Tom (David Morris)
is quite happy to provide for occasional model Lars (Benjamin Hart)
just as long as he can keep him interested, even if there are a few
betrayals along the way.

Brit flick looking at the lives and loves of four young nightshift
workers in present-day Glasgow. Sean (Luke de Woolfson) works as a
porter in a hospital; Vincent (James Lance) stacks shelves in a
supermarket; Jody (Kate Ashfield) is an assembly line worker; and

meet up regularly in an all-night cafe, but things become more
complicated when their love lives intertwine.
All ten episodes from the second season of the popular Channel 4
drama series set in the fictional Summerdown Comprehensive, where
the teachers are just as juvenile (if not more so) than the
teenagers they are supposed to be educating. In Episode 1, Simon
(Andrew Lincoln) breezes into school after getting back late from a
holiday in Tenerife with Brian (Adrian Bower) and Kurt (Navin
Chowdhry). In Episode 2, Simon is so jealous of popular new
languages tutor JP (Shaun Evans) that he refuses to go out for a
drink with the usual crowd. Episode 3 finds Simon getting
increasingly sexually frustrated after nine weeks without sex. In
Episode 4, JP comes out to his new flatmates, and Kurt and Simon
try to convince Brian that he is gay, too. Episode 5 finds Susan
(Raquel Cassidy) being driven crazy by Alec (Damien Goodwin), who
walks around the flat with nothing on in between his very noisy sex
sessions with her flatmate, Jenny (Nina Sosanya). In Episode 6,
head of department Bob (Lloyd McGuire) is doing all he can to catch
Penny's (Tamzin Malleson) eye. Episode 7 sees Susan getting broody
after holding the baby of a schoolgirl mum - but when she meets the
single mother of another problem pupil, she soon changes her mind.
In Episode 8, Simon is feeling bored and dissatisfied with his
life, and decides to take a drastic step to change things. In
Episode 9, Simon has taken off for South America, leaving his
colleagues to cover his classes. Finally, in Episode 10, Christmas
is just around the corner, and Simon's replacement, Matt (James
Lance) arrives to step into his shoes.
CHOICE outstanding academic book! Black nationalism. Is it an
outdated political strategy? Or, as James Taylor argues in his
rich, sweeping analysis, alogical response to the failure of
post-civil rights politics? Taylor offers a provocative assessment
of the contemporary relevance and interpretation of black
nationalism as both a school of thought and a mode of mobilization.
Fundamental to his analysis is the assertion that black nationalism
should be understood not simply as a separatist movement - the
traditional conception - but instead as a common-sense
psychological orientation with long roots in US political history.
Providing entirely new lines of insight and analysis, his work
ranges from the religious foundations of black political ideologies
to the nationalist sentiments of today's hip-hop generation.
