Although much has been written about the golden days of radio,
Entrepreneurs of Profit and Pride is the first book to examine the
black radio industry. This book traces the development of black
radio programming which began when the concept of black appeal
first occured to certain entrepreneurs, a concept that played a
pivotal role in the rise of cultural pride and soul. Through the
case studies of three representative black radio stations, Newman
reveals the evolution of programming practices dictated not only by
pride but by profits gained through successful marketing. A unique
feature of this book is the inclusion of business considerations
into a cultural analysis of the medium. The book begins with a
discussion of how poor communications to black audiences in early
network broadcasting led to the creation of black-appeal
narrowcasting. The author probes the patterns of development in
black programming and assesses the impact of that programming on
soul consciousness. In addition, the book discusses individuals in
the history of black radio, marketing to a minority audience, and
the role of media in society as a seller of products and culture.
Teaching Social Studies to Multilingual Learners in Middle School:
Connecting Inquiry and Visual Literacy to Promote Progressive
Learning explores effective strategies for teaching social studies
to multilingual learners. The centerpiece is a visual literacy
framework that integrates inquiry, primary source analysis, and
visual literacy to provide a progressive learning sequence to meet
the varied needs of learners. The visual literacy framework brings
together related aspects of progressive, sequential learning into a
cohesive, coherent whole. It has an adaptable structure that allows
teachers to customize learning activities to meet individual
student needs. The progressive learning sequence has varied modes
of learning that help teachers move students from basic to
proficient to advanced levels of support. This book is organized
into two related parts. The first three chapters provide important
content and context on social studies, multilingual learner
education, and the visual literacy framework. The remaining
chapters discuss U.S. history, world history, geography, and
civics/government. Each chapter defines the subject area, briefly
traces its development as a middle school subject over time, and
offers classroom exercises on using the visual literacy framework
in these disciplines. The exercises are plotted so that differing
levels of the visual literacy framework are explored throughout the
book.

Mark Newman draws on a vast range of archives and many interviews
to uncover for the first time the complex response of African
American and white Catholics across the South to desegregation. In
the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century, the
southern Catholic Church contributed to segregation by confining
African Americans to the back of white churches and to black-only
schools and churches. However, in the twentieth century, papal
adoption and dissemination of the doctrine of the Mystical Body of
Christ, pressure from some black and white Catholics, and secular
change brought by the civil rights movement increasingly led the
Church to address racial discrimination both inside and outside its
walls. Far from monolithic, white Catholics in the South split
between a moderate segregationist majority and minorities of
hard-line segregationists and progressive racial egalitarians.
While some bishops felt no discomfort with segregation, prelates
appointed from the late 1940s onward tended to be more supportive
of religious and secular change. Some bishops in the peripheral
South began desegregation before or in anticipation of secular
change while elsewhere, especially in the Deep South, they often
tied changes in the Catholic churches to secular desegregation.
African American Catholics were diverse and more active in the
civil rights movement than has often been assumed. While some black
Catholics challenged racism in the Church, many were conflicted
about the manner of Catholic desegregation generally imposed by
closing valued black institutions. Tracing its impact through the
early 1990s, Newman reveals how desegregation shook congregations
but seldom brought about genuine integration.
Geography as Inquiry invites teachers and learners to explore
geography in exciting ways, across key concepts, connected to
history and the social sciences, reestablishing its place in the
social studies and history curriculum.
Provides a concise up-to-date introduction to and overview of black
nationalism in American historyThis analytical introduction
assesses contrasting definitions of black nationalism in America,
thereby providing an overview of its development and varied
manifestations across two centuries. Its aim is to evaluate
historiographical debates and synthesize a broad range of
scholarship, much of it published since the beginning of the new
millennium. However, unlike some of that work, this book offers a
critical perspective that avoids advocacy or condemnation of black
nationalism by examining major black nationalist thinkers, leaders
and organizations as well as discussing some lesser-known groups
and figures, the nature of black nationalism's appeal and the
position of women in and their contributions to black
nationalism.Key FeaturesConsiders divergent definitions of black
nationalism, providing an understanding of the nature of black

The importance of learning in the workplace has long been
recognised in clinical education, however the twin demands of the
explosion in clinical knowledge and the changing dynamics of the
clinical workplace have exposed the shortcomings of existing
clinical learning practices and understandings of clinical learning
in the workplace. There is a growing demand for conceptual and
methodological tools that can help to develop understanding of the
complex set of relationships involved in learning in professional
healthcare contexts. This ground-breaking volume brings together
the work of pioneering scholars of learning and is unique in
providing a detailed account of socio-cultural theory in relation
to clinical education. Work-based Learning in Clinical Settings
clearly illustrates the potential breadth of application and the
strength and diversity of research in this field. Each chapter
engages with a distinct issue and follows a specific structure to
present an extended case-based presentation of the research that
explains the: .architecture of the concept or theory .application
of the concept/theory to clinical education .methodological
approaches used as well as the implications and limitations .
understanding of the workplace clinical learning that emerged as a
result of the research It is ideal for professionals in clinical
education, healthcare policy makers and shapers, and postgraduate
students who will find the thorough, innovative research
enlightening.
Visual Literacy examines how teachers can use visuals to improve
learning for all students. It provides teachers with a foundation
in visual literacy, defined as the ability to read, think, and
communicate with visually presented information. Results of studies
of students’ using visual information indicate that most students
are clearly lacking in the tools needed to use visuals effectively.
The book orients teachers to visual literacy and the world of
visuals. It discusses various classroom tested strategies and
activities for all students, including second language learners,
and students with special needs. Stressing visual literacy skills
helps students understand a visual more deeply so they can master
the content they are learning. Teachers will learn to employ a
literacy triad of reading, thinking, and communicating to aid
students in their study of visuals. First, they inquire into the
visual, reading it for content and context, including assessing the
authenticity of the document. Second, they think about the document
by analyzing, interpreting, and evaluating it to come up with
answers to their inquiry. Graphic organizers help students decipher
the content and understand the meaning of the visual document,
connecting it to prior and future instruction. Third, they
communicate their findings using visuals.
Abbreviations contribute to enhanced efficiency of writing,
reading, and speaking, as well as greater comprehension of
technical and scientific articles, reports, and lectures. They
serve to reduce the time and cost of writing, typing, editing, and
composition resetting. They also decrease the space required for
texts, tables, and diagrams. As such, abbreviations are beneficial
tools that enhance the dynamics of technical language. The
Comprehensive Glossary of Telecom Abbreviations and Acronyms is a
collection of over 16,000 entries that cover the fields of
telecommunications, satellite communications, marine
communications, radar and military communications, avionics,
electronics, computer, Internet, radio and television broadcasting,
fiber optics communications, information technology (IT),
Information Communication Technology (ICT), remote sensing,
cellular networks, Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR), and ham radio.
It pays particular attention to the abbreviations used in ITU,
Intelsat, IMO, IMSO, and APSCC documents. The glossary also
contains abbreviations commonly found in telecom magazines,
contracts, and financial documents. In addition, it includes
entries that reflect the common terminology used by major telecom
companies and operators, as well as those used by specialized
institutions and standard organizations such as IEEE, ETSI, IETF,
ISO, and GSM. It also includes abbreviations on new technologies. A
thorough and essential reference, the Comprehensive Glossary of
Telecom Abbreviations and Acronyms helps keep engineers, technical
writers, technicians, and university students up to speed on the
vast amount of terminology that comes their way.
This book anchors the social studies as the central unifying force
for young children. Teachers use the inquiry process to foster
child development of social skills and citizenship ideals in their
first classroom experiences. Curriculum is built starting with
children's natural curiosity to foster literacy in all its
form-speaking, listening, reading, writing. Along the way, young
children acquire knowledge and academic skills in civics,
economics, geography and history. Shown throughout are ways to
promote social learning, self-concept development, social skills
and citizenship behaviors. Featured here are individually
appropriate and culturally relevant developmental practices.
Considered are the importance of family collaboration and funds of
knowledge children bring to early care and education. Contributors
to this edition bring expertise from bilingual, early education,
literacy, special education and the social studies. Beginning with
citizenship and community building the authors consider all aspects
of teaching young children leading to a progression of capacity to
engage civically in school and community.
A history and tour of this exceptionally beautiful designed
landscape in North Yorkshire. Dubbed "the Wonder of the North" in
1732, the National Trust's Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Estate
(now a World Heritage Site) encompasses one of the largest, most
magnificent and beautiful designed landscapes ever created. This
richly illustrated volume charts the landscape's history from the
first arrival of prehistoric hunters, via medieval monasticism, the
Dissolution of the monasteries, eighteenth-century aestheticism and
scandal, and the first ages of mass tourism, to the present day. At
the heart of the story lies the rise and fall of England's largest
Cistercian monastery and how that shaped the origins of the
Aislabie family's breathtaking gardens. Their Studley Royalwas at
the forefront of every emergent landscape gardening fashion between
1670 and 1800. The book also describes the dramatic history of the
family and the monumental scale of their achievements in this
field, extending over many dozens of square miles of North
Yorkshire - far beyond the limits of the garden as it is seen today
(reduced to serve the more limited needs of Victorian
day-trippers). The Wonder of the North brings social and garden
history together with archaeology to reveal Fountains Abbey and
Studley Royal - too often seen as "just" a ruined medieval
monastery - as one of the world's greatest artistic creations. Mark
Newman has been the National Trust's archaeological adviser for
Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal estate since 1988. He was also
resident there, living in Fountains Hall from 1988-1995.

in particular to pass postgraduate examinations, such as the
MRCP(UK)' - John D Firth, in the Introduction.
This introduction to the Civil Rights Movement synthesises its
history, explaining its origins, development and results as well as
historiographical debates. A survey based on a wealth of recent
scholarship, it provides a critical perspective on the movement,
eschewing the celebratory tone that pervades much of the current
literature, and taking into account the African-American
community's diversity. Mark Newman outlines the range of white
responses to the movement and analyses both northern and southern
opinion. He examines the role of the federal government, the church
and organised labour, as well as assessing the impact of the Cold
War. The book discusses local, regional, and national civil rights
campaigns; the utility of non-violent direct action; and the
resurgence of black nationalism. And it explains the development,
achievements and disintegration of the national civil rights
coalition, the role of Martin Luther King Jr and the contribution
of many otherwise ordinary men and women to the movement. The
insufficiently appreciated National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People receives particular attention, with contrasts
drawn between the national office and state conferences and local
branches. In detailing and assessing the African-American struggle
between the 1930s and 1980s, Newman widens the movement's
traditional chronology, offering readers a broad-ranging history.
Key Features *Covers both the north and south of America *Broad
chronological coverage -- begins in 1941 and ends in 1989, covering
the origins and long-term effects of the movement *Discusses the
historiography of the CRM, at an appropriate level for
undergraduates

Aimed at helping the physics student to develop a solid grasp of
basic graduate-level material, this book presents worked solutions
to a wide range of informative problems. These problems have been
culled from the preliminary and general examinations created by the
physics department at Princeton University for its graduate
program. The authors, all students who have successfully completed
the examinations, selected these problems on the basis of
usefulness, interest, and originality, and have provided highly
detailed solutions to each one. Their book will be a valuable
resource not only to other students but to college physics teachers
as well. The first four chapters pose problems in the areas of
mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, and
thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, thereby serving as a
review of material typically covered in undergraduate courses.
Later chapters deal with material new to most first-year graduate
students, challenging them on such topics as condensed matter,
relativity and astrophysics, nuclear physics, elementary particles,
and atomic and general physics.
From the Internet to networks of friendship, disease
transmission, and even terrorism, the concept--and the reality--of
networks has come to pervade modern society. But what exactly is a
network? What different types of networks are there? Why are they
interesting, and what can they tell us? In recent years, scientists
from a range of fields--including mathematics, physics, computer
science, sociology, and biology--have been pursuing these questions
and building a new "science of networks." This book brings together
for the first time a set of seminal articles representing research
from across these disciplines. It is an ideal sourcebook for the
key research in this fast-growing field.
The book is organized into four sections, each preceded by an
editors' introduction summarizing its contents and general theme.
The first section sets the stage by discussing some of the
historical antecedents of contemporary research in the area. From
there the book moves to the empirical side of the science of
networks before turning to the foundational modeling ideas that
have been the focus of much subsequent activity. The book closes by
taking the reader to the cutting edge of network science--the
relationship between network structure and system dynamics. From
network robustness to the spread of disease, this section offers a
potpourri of topics on this rapidly expanding frontier of the new
science.
