The authors of the narrative chapters represented in this volume
have in common that they are dedicated to the realization of a
critical, multicultural, democratic society. Individually, they are
female and male, from diverse ethnicities, socio-economic class
backgrounds, first language groups, religious and spiritual
affiliations, and sexual orientations. They are professors of
education, psychology, sociology, and communication as well as
community activists. The stories that they share reveal the history
of racism in this country over a fifty year period beginning in the
late 1930s and continuing into the early 1980s. The stories are
most diverse, and share what it was like growing up White during
and after Jim Crow segregation, the Civil Rights Movement, and
busing and integration. Thus, there is a history here of our
country's racism yesterday and today. Inviting students to
experience this history may encourage them to further explore its
ongoing manifestations.
A translation that captures the power of one of the greatest war
stories ever told-Julius Caesar's account of his brutal campaign to
conquer Gaul Imagine a book about an unnecessary war written by the
ruthless general of an occupying army-a vivid and dramatic
propaganda piece that forces the reader to identify with the
conquerors and that is designed, like the war itself, to fuel the
limitless political ambitions of the author. Could such a campaign
autobiography ever be a great work of literature-perhaps even one
of the greatest? It would be easy to think not, but such a book
exists-and it helped make Julius Caesar a legend. This remarkable
translation of Caesar's War for Gaul captures, like never before in
English, the powerfully concise style of the future emperor's
dispatches from the front lines in what are today France, Belgium,
Germany, and Switzerland.
These notes treat of the Leaving Certificate Physics course. Only
the most important parts of any topic are included; as such, these
notes form 'the minimum you need to know to get an A1'. Clear
diagrams are included to illustrate important material in the text,
especially in Light 1: Geometrical Optics with its inherently
graphical nature. It is important to note that significant emphasis
is placed on the theoretical part of the syllabus: each student's
own experiment copybook should be their keystone for that aspect of
the course. However, for the sake of completeness appendix B forms
a concise overview of the mandatory experiments, with particular
emphasis on those salient points which frequently crop up in exams.
Moreover, the Applied Electricity option has been omitted since
seldom do students warm to it, and indeed very few teachers cover
it; the particle physics option is included instead in the Modern
Physics section.
These notes treat of the Leaving Certificate Higher Level Economics
course. The coverage is as short and concise as possible to aid the
student's learning. It was necessary to omit certain topics such as
population economics and development, however all omissions concern
material which is not central to the course or an understanding of
economics. As such, these notes form the minimum course of
economics required to get an A1 in the Irish Leaving Certificate,
or at least to do very well. It is important to note that these
notes should be utilised in conjunction with past papers and past
marking schemes in order to maximise examination performance.

Here is an unforgettable, graphic account of the final days in the
Fuhrer's headquarters, deep under the shattered city of Berlin as
World War II in Europe drew to a close. From James P. O'Donnell's
interviews with fifty eyewitnesses to the madness and
carnage--everyone from Albert Speer to generals, staff officers,
doctors, Hitler's personal pilot, telephone operators, and
secretaries--emerges an account that historian Theodore H. White
has hailed as "superb . . . quite simply the most accurate and
terrifying account of the nightmare and its end I have ever read."
