In 2001 Wyn Roberts celebrated both his 70th birthday and 50
years of working in surface science, to use the term "surface
science" in its broadest meaning. This book aims to mark the
anniversary with a contribution of lasting value, something more
than the usual festschrift issue of a relevant journal. The book is
divided into three sections: Surface Science, Model Catalysts and
Catalysis, topics in which Wyn has always had interests. The
authors for each chapter were chosen from some of the many eminent
scientists who have worked with Wyn in various ways and are all
internationally acknowledged as leaders in their field. The authors
have produced authoritative reviews of their own specialties which
together result in a book with an unrivalled combination of breadth
and depth exploring the most recent developments in surface
chemistry and catalysis.
This book focuses on promoting health equity and addressing health
disparities among Indigenous peoples of the United States (U.S.)
and associated Territories in the Pacific Islands and Caribbean. It
provides an overview of the current state of health equity across
social, physical, and mental health domains to provide a
preliminary understanding of the state of Indigenous health equity.
Part 1 of the book traces the promotive, protective, and risk
factors related to Indigenous health equity. Part 2 reports
promising pathways to achieving and transcending health equity
through the description of interventions that address and promote
wellness related to key outcomes. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic
& Cultural Diversity in Social Work.
While blatant forms of racism and discrimination have largely been
condemned in our society, systematic oppression and racism can be
manifested in a less obvious form, as 'microaggressions'. The term,
originally developed in the 1970s by Chester Peirce to describe the
ways in which Black people were "put down" by their White
counterparts, has since been expanded to describe both conscious
and unconscious acts that reflect superiority, hostility, and
racially inflicted insults and demeanors to marginalized groups of
people. This book provides a platform for social work researchers,
scholars, and practitioners to present their research, ideas, and
practices pertaining to ways in which microaggressions and other
subtle, but lethal forms of discrimination impact marginalized
populations within social work and human services. Contributors
discuss the impact of microaggressions in social work as they
relate to race; gender and gender expression; sexual orientation;
class; and spirituality. The book also examines curriculum,
pedagogy, and the academic climate as targets for intervention in
social work education. This book was originally published as a
series of special issues of the Journal of Ethnic and Cultural
Diversity in Social Work.
This comprehensive how-to manual is for managers who are interested
in adopting the production planning and control methods first

easy-to-understand examples and real case studies, showing where
and how to best apply those methods in the three fundamental
manufacturing structures.

This text offers a compendium of knowledge and perspectives from
leading researchers dedicated to examining various forms of racism
and their distinctions and impact on racial groups. Each chapter
promotes both evidence and practice-based research that cultivates
improvements in the daily lives of people affected by racism. The
text also advocates for the facilitation of systemic change on the
individual, organizational, community, and greater societal levels.
With this advocacy perspective, the authors aim to advance
community empowerment and advocacy to address and eliminate both
racism and white supremacy. The authors identify the link between
racism and social determinants of both physical/mental health and
social well-being aiming to foster development of an anti-racist
social work framework that promotes access to resources and
opportunities that encompass transdisciplinary collaboration among
the workforce. From a historical perspective, the book also
examines the link between historical racial oppression and its
contemporary effects and counterparts within racialized economic
injustice. In sum, the authors collectively promote both teaching
and learning within social work education programs that place
emphasis on examining structural inequalities and white privilege -
as well as the impacts on individual and group outcomes. To combat
this, the text calls upon all social workers to develop a policy
agenda for eliminating racism and white supremacy at the
institutional and organizational level where structural racism is
rampant, evident, and causes the most damage among marginalized
groups.
