From the supplier: Authors of scholarly articles need to understand the provisions of copyright law. One important mistake with legal implications that many students and professionals make is to submit an article to more than one publisher at a time. This is usually considered unethical, since only one periodical should make the initial publication, while others merely publish reprints. Copyright Act of 1976 definitions and provisions as well as guidelines in handling copyrights are presented for academic authors.

Book Description

First published in 1989, I Dream a World, a collection of 75 portraits, has become a landmark in publishing history. Now the 10th anniversary of this book is being celebrated with this completely revised and updated edition that charts the achievements of a remarkable group of African-American women and their continued impact on the world.

Many changes have occurred since Brian Lanker set out to capture the faces of both the prominent and unsung women who've made a difference. Sixteen of the original 76 women are no longer among us, including Septima Clark, Barbara Jordan, Clara McBride (Mother) Hale, and Betty Shabazz. But, as this new edition reveals, all of them have left behind an enduring legacy for future generations.

Most importantly, in revising and updating I Dream a World, we celebrate not only the event of its publication, but the continued achievements of an extraordinary group of women who remain vitally alive as role models for the next century.

This is Great "Her"story.......2006-03-14

I was given this book when I was a freshman in architecture college. When I saw Ms Sklarek, I immediately wrote the publisher and got her addres and wrote her a letter. To my surprise she wrote back to me and her later inspired me to continue studying architecture. Now...17 years and three degrees later I came across her name again during a conversation and I decided to contact her again and again, she sent me her business card. Since our architectural firm has a committee that procures speakers, I plan to invite her to my firm to give a presentation on Women in Architecture. So, I said all that to say...not only should we find our mentors, but we should also communicate with them whenever we can.

The PERFECT hand-me-down.......2006-03-04

I was blessed to recieve this book in 1990 as a gift from a dear friend. Throughout the years this book has been a form of encouragement in my daily life through various things. Once my daughter turned ten we sat down together and read through I DREAM A WORLD, She was captivated. I have now passed this book on to my daughter and she proudly displays it in her room with trophies, clay art, pictures, and souviners.

Beautiful!.......2005-11-30

This is such a beautiful, respectable book! The portraits & stories of AA are profound & present fantastic role models for today's young AA girls. A hearty "thank you" to those responsible for compiling & publishing this book!

It encourages one's own dreams!.......2003-04-25

I Dream a World is inspiring in its beautiful photography and the brief stories it shares about the women in the pictures. While it touches on their life stories, this book shares these women's thoughts. That is what draws me closer to this book each time I open it. The women inside, and the book itself, will make you think about your dreams and encourage you to work towards them.

No matter what your race or gender, give this book to anyone who needs encouragement. I especially enjoy recommending this book to young women who can learn a lot from the women within its pages.

Most Excellent.......2000-11-19

I DREAM A WORLD is a most excellent book. The photographs of the women are like portraits of their souls. What makes this book so wonderful is that each woman's story is told in her own words. This is more of the real history. Everyone should read this book because it is not only black history or women's history, it is American history.

Among the best of Disney's presentations.......2007-03-09

I first read these stories as a child when they came out in Disney comic books and I've never forgotten them. My friends and I would check out the latest Disney comics to see if the Donald and Scrooge stories were drawn by the "good duck artist" and only buy the comic books if they were. Of course Carl Barks was uncredited, so we never knew the "good duck artist's" name, but his drawings and his humor were unmistakable. Barks was one of the most talented cartoonists of his time, and his stories -- they're really quests, often based on ancient myths -- are always delightful and have stood the test of time. A wonderful gift for any child (or grown-up) who likes good graphic story-telling.

Unbelievable Car Transformations!.......2003-12-05

"Mea Culpa"- I have to confess, I never watched The Discovery Channel's television series, Monster Garage. Then again, for that matter, I have refrained these days from watching television altogether!

Monster Garage, as I have been informed by several television mavens, is one of the hottest realty shows, and after reading the fan book Inside Monster Garage,written by Ken Vose, I can fully understand why people are attracted to this fascinating series.

Relying on glossy and detailed photos combined with Vose's crafted words, this 175- page soft cover book show- cases how these unbelievable feats are accomplished.
It is as if readers are given a backstage pass where they can witness what goes on behind the scenes, listen to the interviews with some of the principal characters, and savor tidbits of trivia mentioned in the pleasurable sidebars. The trivia will surely come in handy at cocktail parties.

The book traces various episodes, wherein readers are privy to the workings of a group of skilled, imaginative and creative individuals, who nearly do the impossible by transforming an automobile into something outrageous.
Bear in mind that their budget is limited to three thousand dollars, and the time frame to accomplish the feat is five days.

Without doubt, readers who have seen the series, will vividly remember some of these mind boggling inventions such as: the school bus pontoon boat: the Lincoln Town Car Limousine turned into a fire truck: the Chevy Suburban transformed into a wedding chapel, where a couple actually performs their wedding ceremony: turning a Ford Mustang into the world's fastest lawnmower.

In addition, each episode lists the members of the crew, the specs, and comments made by their leader Jesse James pertaining to the objectives of the transformation, his final remarks, as well as some intriguing information concerning the vehicle or the project.
An example- I bet you did not know that in 1939 the official color for school buses was changed from Omaha orange to chrome yellow. How about this tidbit-the largest pipe organ in the world is located not in a cathedral in Europe, but in a department store in Philadelphia.

As an added bonus, the book includes interviews with some of the "movers and shakers" of the show.

One that is particularly interesting is with Jesse James, whom the book states "may well become the first blue-collar television hero who actually works with his hands for a living. He is not an actor, singer, or an entertainer. He's definitely not a talking head. He's a welder and a fabricator, one who makes awesome machines that look great, work the way they should, and go fast."
James comes off, as a down to earth guy who maintains all he wanted to do was to focus on people making something out of nothing. As he says, "people dig that."

Vose successfully achieves a delicate balance between the stunning images and his words that are so critical in creating this memorable, solid, and sumptuously illustrated book.

Inside Monster Garage is moreover a fun read, and to re-quote James, "people dig that." I am sure one day the book will even become a collector's item.

Wire is proving to be an increasingly influential band. Ever since their first album, Pink Flag, they have earned the admiration of fans and musicians alike.

Customer Reviews:

An excellent oral history of the band by its members........1998-09-18

The band Wire has always been an enigmatic enseamble. In this book, Kevin Eden has gathered the original band members to talk about their history, their creative methods, their goals, and of course their music. The results are very illuminating, not only for those with an interest in this band, but for anyone curious about the dynamics and interaction that come from being in a rock group. All in all, a very readable and complete document (and eyewitness) of an interesting musical experiment.

Customer Reviews:

pleasant read, good ideas, valuable.......2007-09-19

An honest appraisal of the fundraising industry and how to make it work better.

There are also many creative ideas you can adapt to your personal opportunities. Of several such books I've read recently, this was the best.

The personal side of fundraising.......2004-12-30

Burnett skillfully shows how to satisfy "the bottom line" through a positive relationship with donors. Practical, relevant tips are offered for reaching out to potential donors and making them feel part of the mission. It's a pleasure to see someone writing about "the psychology of fundraising." A well-crafted, beneficial read.

Brilliant!.......2003-08-03

Ken Burnett is one of the world's great, and most respected, fundraisers, and this is one of the most important fundraising books you'll ever read. Relationship Fundraiisng is on every top 10 list I've ever seen. And it deserves to be. Most non-profits do not treat their donors well, and therefore raise less income than they could. When you follow Ken's advice you will raise more money for your mission. I know Ken personally and while I've raised many tens of millions for non-profits, and have been fundraising for 25 years, every time I hear Ken speak, or read his books and articles, I learn something new.

Relationship Fundraising Should Be Part of What We All Do.......2003-02-25

Many of us know that it's more important then ever to build relationships with our donors and prospects. Ken Burnett has been talking about it for over 10 years and the newest edition of his book on Relationship Fundraising is even more relevant today than when it was first written. Ken skillfully uses his extensive experience and insight to focus on what it really is all about through both what has already worked elsewhere and what we should strive to achieve. This book is easy and enjoyable to read and supports our ambitions for techniques including donor development and moves management but it is so much more than that. Relationship Fundraising takes lessons from yesterday and gives you the inspiration to truly get back to people and build positive lasting relationships into the future. Each of us can benefit from going beyond the buzz words and see what it is really all about or at least re-establish the importance of Relationship Fundraising by reading this invaluable book.

Book Description

Paul Clemens grew up in the northeast corner of Detroit, just south of the city’s famed 8 Mile border. In this moving and affectionate memoir, Clemens, born the year Detroit’s first black mayor (the legendary Coleman Young) was elected, tracks his own growth to maturity against the background of the city’s long decline during Young’s twenty years at the helm.

Made in Detroit describes what it was like to grow up white and working class in a city that had become emblematic of white flight and urban decay. Clemens writes with passion and unflinching honesty about the crime and the prejudices, both black and white, that marked his days in Detroit, and about the linguistic confusions that attend being a minority in a city where minorities are the majority. His neighborhood’s common denominator, Catholicism, helped keep Detroit’s disorder at a distance. Likewise, Clemens’s father, a car enthusiast and weekend drag racer of the kind only Detroit can produce, helped keep at arm’s length the racism that infected much of white Detroit. Though he may have grumbled about the corruption and inefficiency of the Young administration, he would not tolerate expressions of racial hostility.

Made in Detroit is the story of a young man’s education in social and racial realities most writers would rather avoid. But it is also the story of a literary apprenticeship in the classic American mold. In addition to his youthful Catholicism, Clemens acquired another belief–in reading and writing–and he embraced the writer’s vocation with the enthusiasm that only those raised in a household devoid of books can. Yet, in coming to grips with Detroit, and race relations in America in general, he discovered that there are places–geographic, mental, emotional–where even literature cannot help.

This is a story about being caught in the middle: about being white in a black city, urban in suburban America, blue collar in an increasingly obsolete Rust Belt, and Catholic in a place where churches close at an unprecedented pace. Sparing no one–including himself–Clemens depicts with raw authenticity and redemptive grace the realities of one city’s, and one family’s, recent history.

White and private schooled in Detroit.......2007-07-09

Also being a white kid in a black city, I can relate to this book, as I too was sent to private schools to avoid the "dreaded" public schools in the Motor City.
CONFESSIONS OF A CATHOLIC SCHOOLGIRL by Michelle Kane is another good book set in the city of Detroit, although the main character is from a broken home and not as lucky as Clemens to have both parents to turn to in confusing times.Confessions of a Catholic Schoolgirl

A wonderful personal history, set in a decaying town.......2006-11-03

When I ordered this book, I thought that it might be about someone closer to my age (64) who grew up in the City of Detroit. It turns out to be a much younger man: one who grew up during the years just after I moved away from Michigan in 1972.
Although this book is somewhat different than what I expected, it turned out to be a thoughtful read. Yes, there is a lot of Detroit history and visits to places I recall, but you do not have had to live in Michigan to enjoy this book. It covers family life, religion, schooling, racial issues and much more. I think that the book does bog down a bit near the end. This is where the author is trying to resolve much of his upbringing and beliefs. Nevertheless, MADE IN DETROIT is very worthwhile. Particularly wonderful is the description of the author's dad and his continuing episodes throughout the book. Reminded me a lot of my old man and many other Detroit relatives and acquaintances of my parents. The occasional glimpses into the personality of Coleman Young (Mayor of Detroit for many years) are quite humorous. Mr. Young was a real genuine character.

TOO MUCH SELF AGGRANDIZEMENT.......2006-03-17

If the author had spent more time telling us about Detroit and less time telling us how literate he is then it would have been a lot better book.

Capitalizing on the 8 mile mythos.......2006-02-20

Were it not for Eminem's diatribes of the hood and a handful of curious Detroiter's (former and current), I can't imagine what interest this book would hold for anyone. I know the area Clemens speaks of and it is nothing short of amazing that he has so little to write about that is interesting. I suspect that the author was an "academic-in-waiting" from his earliest years and that the sounds and heat of the street were a little too dangerous for his sensitive soul. I will give him credit for being a decent writer, though. Furthermore, claims by a number of reviewers that Mr. Clemens is racist are pure politically correct nonsense. It is more likely the case that the author is guilty of being white and a bit naive.

The Decline of the Auto Industrial Beginnings........2006-02-05

In the early 1930s, Detroit was the fourth-largest city in America due mainly to Southern migration to find jobs in the auto manufacturing plants. "Its population lured in part by Henry Ford's promise of a five-dollar workday, had doubled between 1910 and 1920 and increased another sixty percent in the next decade, by which time it exceeded a million and a half residents." At its peak, the Great Migration to Michigan's southeastern corner seemed poised to go higher. In 1950, the city's population peaked at just below two million residents; in the 60s, it continued to dip to 1.67 million and, in 1970, that number slipped to 1.5 million.

This memoir of Paul Clemens, whose family lived in the northeast corner of Detroit in a bungalow, covers the decline during the twenty-year-reign of Mayor Coleman Young. Elected the year Paul was born (1973), one year after Motown Records was moved from Detroit to Hollywood. "In 1980, after Young had served a term and a half in office, the population fell to 1.2 million and, in 1990, the total number of residents stood at just over a million. The population is now well under that figure, and will never again come within whispering distance of it."

The city had been settled in 1701 by Frenchmen who had come down from Montreal in the company of Algonquin Indians to set up a trading post. Detroit can now be reached from Windsor, Canada, through an underwater mile tunnel; it was the most Canadian of American cities with Young as Detroit's uncontested king. Like our former mayor who was in control and power for fourteen years, Young allowed the inner city to decline while he played politics. "The distinguishing feature of Young's tenure was that, as the years went on, he found himself in firmer control of less and less."

One redeeming feature of the town was the Belle Island where they held the bicycle races, the elegantly laid out interior designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the architect of Central Park. At the time of the Iranian hostage crisis, the gas shortages, and the Olympics boycotts, it seemed to be "a national political trendsetter, an area in which large numbers of ethnic Catholics and unionized blue-collar workers decided to vote against Jimmy Carter in the 1980 presidential election."

By the time Paul left his narrow world to go off to college, "Metropolitan Detroit was now four million people, with less than a quarter of that in the city itself. To most people, Detroit now meant everything but." He relates how life was as he lived it and charted the city's long decline during Young's twenty years at the helm. This year, the Motor City will recover somewhat for the one-day event when sports fans will converge for the 40th Super Bowl at the stadium there for the Pittsburgh Steelers/Seattle Seahawks game.

Product Description

Clemens's life has been shaped by three powerful factors: his autoworker father's rock-solid decency and fair-mindedness; a good Catholic education through high school (and natural bookishness); and the experience of growing up as a white kid in a black city. This last aspect forms the basis of Clemens's probing, insightful memoir. In 1973, Clemens's birth year, Coleman Young became Detroit's first black mayor and reigned for 20 years thereafter. During that time, the city lost half its population and nearly all its white citizens, and became the murder, arson and unwed mother capital of the non-warring world, with enough crime, corruption and lack of common sense at government levels to classify as a Third World city. Is such a statement racist? Clemens wrestles with that question, using his own life experience, especially in high school sports, and his obsessive reading of James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Malcolm X, Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor and even Coleman Young. He concludes that he is not a racisthe's in fact become a middle-class liberal. Though Clemens retains doubts, he seems as fair in his self-analysis as his much-loved father, and despite some scares, he has not yet abandoned Detroit. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Review Praise for Made in Detroit: In Made in Detroit, Paul Clemens tells a personal account of the life and death of an American city. Love among the ruins is never easy, sweet, comfortable, or without a sense of injury, and so it proves here. With clarity, courage, and a deep familiarity with his literary predecessorsfrom James Joyce to James BaldwinClemens has written a book as riven, wounded, and yet surprisingly durable as its subject.

Book Description

This is the first historically comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the causes, content, and consequences of nationalism in China, an ancient empire that has struggled to construct a nation-state and find its place in the modern world. It shows how Chinese political elites have competed to promote different types of nationalism linked to their political values and interests and imposed them on the nation while trying to repress other types of nationalism. In particular, the book reveals how leaders of the PRC have adopted a pragmatic strategy to use nationalism while struggling to prevent it from turning into a menace rather than a prop.
