Forty years ago, thousands of Milwaukee residents marched for equal
rights to join and participate in local organizations, receive
equal and appropriate educational resources for their children, and
live where they wanted. Thus, the purpose of the book, Asante Sana,
'Thank You' Father James E. Groppi is to commemorate and honor the
Father James E. Groppi and the Milwaukee NAACP Youth
Council/Commandos who unselfishly put their lives on line and made
a significant difference in making Milwaukee's history one that
changed the livelihood for all living beings. Specifically, in the
book: Asante Sana, 'Thank You' Father James E. Groppi, the author,
who was one of the original founders of the Milwaukee NAACP Youth
Council in 1964, poetically responds to some of the famous quotes
of Father Groppi and the Milwaukee NAACP Youth Council members
while they experienced life- threatening issues with racial
discrimination in Milwaukee during the 1960's. (Asante Sana, "Thank
You" Father James E. Groppi by Dr. Shirley R. (Berry) Butler-Derge

A vivid and revealing portrait of shipboard life as experienced by
eighteenth-century migrants from Europe to the New World In October
1735, James Oglethorpe's Georgia Expedition set sail from London,
bound for Georgia. Two hundred and twenty-seven passengers boarded
two merchant ships accompanied by a British naval vessel and began
a transformative voyage across the Atlantic that would last nearly
five months. Chronicling their passage in journals, letters, and
other accounts, the migrants described the challenges of physical
confinement, the experiences of living closely with people from
different regions, religions, and classes, and the multi-faceted
character of the ocean itself. Using their specific journey as his
narrative arc, Stephen Berry's A Path in the Mighty Waters tells
the broader and heretofore underexplored story of how people
experienced their crossings to the New World in the eighteenth
century. During this time, hundreds of thousands of
Europeans-mainly Irish and German-crossed the Atlantic as part of
their martial, mercantile, political, or religious calling.
Histories of these migrations, however, have often erased the ocean
itself, giving priority to activities performed on solid ground.
Reframing these histories, Berry shows how the ocean was more than
a backdrop for human events; it actively shaped historical
experiences by furnishing a dissociative break from normal patterns
of life and a formative stage in travelers' processes of collective
identification. Shipboard life, serving as a profound conversion
experience for travelers both spiritually and culturally, resembled
the conditions of a frontier or border zone where the chaos of pure
possibility encountered an inner need for stability and continuity,
producing permutations on existing beliefs. Drawing on an
impressive array of archival collections, Berry's vivid and rich
account reveals the crucial role the Atlantic played in history and
how it has lingered in American memory as a defining experience.
Thermodynamic Optimization of Finite-Time Processes is the first book to provide a comprehensive treatment integrating finite-time thermodynamics and optimal control, and to give an overview of important breakthroughs in the field which have occurred during the last 20 years. A survey of the optimization technique, including the basics of optimal control theory, and the principal thermodynamic concepts and equations are presented in the first four chapters. The remaining chapters are devoted to the solutions of a variety of finite-time thermodynamic problems, and include coverage of their potential applications for the design of real technological processes, such as: - heat exchange systems
- mass transfer and separation processes
- commodity exchange as a finite-time thermodynamic process
- heat-driven mechanical processes with one or several reservoirs.
Finally, special emphasis is placed on the consideration of cyclic processes and thermodynamic cycles, and their optimization and efficiencies. Thermodynamic Optimization of Finite-Time Processes is a key resource for chemical and mechanical engineers involved in power systems and process engineering. Researchers in theoretical, physical and industrial chemistry in academia and in industry will also find fresh perspectives in this book that offer new ways to analyze and design a wide variety of processes.

This monograph develops a unified microscopic basis for phases
and phase changes of bulk matter and small systems, based on
classical physics. It describes the thermodynamics of ensembles of
particles and explains phase transition in gaseous and liquid
systems. The origins are derived from simple but physically
relevant models of how transitions occur between rigid and fluid
states, of how phase equilibria arise, and how they differ for
small and large systems.
This volume is the first book to take a deep dive into the
philosophical, social, moral, political, and religious issues
tackled by Seth MacFarlane's marvelous space adventure, The
Orville. Far more than just "Spaceballs for Star Trek," the
episodic sci-fi adventure combines humor and philosophy to create a
narrative that both engages fans and sheds light on the realities
of today's world. These essays explore what The Orville has to say
on everything from climate change, artificial intelligence, and
sexual assault, to gender, feminism, love, and care. Divided into
six "acts" (just like every episode of The Orville), with the show
as its backdrop, the book asks questions about the dangers of
democracy and social media, the show's relationship to Star Trek
and the puzzle of time travel. It features a foreword by The
Orville writer and co-executive producer Andre Bormanis.
This book offers the first political theory of special purpose
jurisdictions, including 35,000 special districts and 13,500 school
districts, which constitute the most common form of local
government in the United States today. Collectively, special
purpose governments have more civilian employees than the federal
government and spend more than all city governments combined. The
proliferation of special purpose jurisdictions has fundamentally
altered the nature of representation and taxation in local
government. Citizens today are commonly represented by dozens - in
some cases hundreds - of local officials in multiple layers of
government. As a result, political participation in local elections
is low and special interest groups associated with each function
exert disproportionate influence. With multiple special-interest
governments tapping the same tax base, the local tax base takes on
the character of a common-pool resource, leading to familiar
problems of overexploitation. Strong political parties can often
mitigate the common-pool problem by informally coordinating the
policies of multiple overlapping governments.
This Second Edition examines the mechanisms and means to establish
regulatory compliance for pharmaceutical products and company
practices. It focuses on major legislative revisions that impact
requirements for drug safety reviews, product regulatory approvals,
and marketing practices. Written by top industry professionals,
practicing attorneys, and FDA regulators, it includes policies and
procedures that pharmaceutical companies need to implement
regulatory compliance post-approval. New chapters cover: the
marketing of unapproved new drugs and FDA efforts to keep them in
regulatory compliance pharmacovigilance programs designed to
prevent widespread safety issues legal issues surrounding the
sourcing of foreign APIs the issues of counterfeit drugs updates on
quality standards
Much has happened in the area of bulk pharmaceutical good
manufacturing practice (GMP) and validation since the first
publication of Validation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.
Revised, updated, and expanded, this second edition includes new
chapters addressing postapproval changes, technology transfer,
international cGMP guidelines/FDA guidance progress, and facility
inspection issues. The basic philosophy and principles of GMP and
validation have not changed, but new terminology had been
introduced, and old terminology had been better defined, improving
the understanding of related concepts and principles. The book
gives you a working knowledge of the regulatory process that will
facilitate your organization's compliance with regulations.
This book deals with the formulation of the thermodynamics of
chemical and other systems far from equilibrium. It contains
applications to non-equilibrium stationary states and approaches to
such states, systems with multiple stationary states, stability and
equi-stability conditions, reaction diffusion systems, transport
properties, and electrochemical systems. The theoretical treatment
is complemented by experimental results to substantiate the
formulation.

A clear and comprehensive framework for bridging the widening gap
between theorists and empiricists in social science The credibility
revolution, with its emphasis on empirical methods for causal
inference, has led to concerns among scholars that the canonical
questions about politics and society are being neglected because
they are no longer deemed answerable. Theory and Credibility stakes
out an opposing view-presenting a new vision of how, working
together, the credibility revolution and formal theory can advance
social scientific inquiry. This authoritative book covers the
conceptual foundations and practicalities of both model building
and research design, providing a new framework to link theory and
empirics. Drawing on diverse examples from political science, it
presents a typology of the rich set of interactions that are
possible between theory and empirics. This typology opens up new
ways for scholars to make progress on substantive questions, and
enables researchers from disparate traditions to gain a deeper
appreciation for each other's work and why it matters. Theory and
Credibility shows theorists how to create models that are genuinely
useful to empirical inquiry, and helps empiricists better
understand how to structure their research in ways that speak to
theoretically meaningful questions.

An overview of the 'two books' of God - nature and Scripture -
showing that they give complementary descriptions of one single
reality. It grapples with key contemporary issues like the nature
of consciousness and care of the environment. The book argues
strongly against the idea of 'a God of the gaps' and against a
conflict view of science and Christian belief. It demonstrates the
essential role of faith in shaping and nurturing the enterprise of
science. The book provides an essential perspective for a society
dominated by science and its consequences. Key features: o Brings
together Christian thought and the natural scientific disciplines.
o There is no other overall treatment at a scholarly level o
Includes a discussion of the important debates and interpretations
in the last 25 years.
