Book Synopsis Undocumented by : Dan-el Padilla Peralta
Download or read book Undocumented written by Dan-el Padilla Peralta and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An undocumented immigrant’s journey from a New York City homeless shelter to the top of his Princeton class Dan-el Padilla Peralta has lived the American dream. As a boy, he arrived in the United States legally with his family. Together they had traveled from Santo Domingo to seek medical care for his mother. Soon the family’s visas lapsed, and Dan-el’s father eventually returned home. But Dan-el’s courageous mother decided to stay and make a better life for her bright sons in New York City. Without papers, she faced tremendous obstacles. While Dan-el was only in grade school, the family joined the ranks of the city’s homeless. Dan-el, his mother, and brother lived in a downtown shelter where Dan-el’s only refuge was the meager library. At another shelter he met Jeff, a young volunteer from a wealthy family. Jeff was immediately struck by Dan-el’s passion for books and learning. With Jeff’s help, Dan-el was accepted on scholarship to Collegiate, the oldest private school in the country. There, Dan-el thrived. Throughout his youth, Dan-el navigated two worlds: the rough streets of East Harlem, where he lived with his brother and his mother and tried to make friends, and the ultra-elite halls of a Manhattan private school, where he immersed himself in a world of books and rose to the top of his class. From Collegiate, Dan-el went on to Princeton, where he made the momentous decision to come out as an undocumented student in a Wall Street Journal profile a few months before he gave the salutatorian’s traditional address in Latin at his commencement. Undocumented is essential reading for the debate on immigration, but it is also an unforgettable tale of a passionate young scholar coming of age in two very different worlds. Praise for Undocumented: “Undocumented is an impassioned counterargument to those who feel, as did some of Peralta’s more xenophobic classmates, that ‘illegals’ are good-for-nothings who take jobs from Americans and deserve to be kicked out of the country. No one who reads this story of a brilliant young man and his proud mother will automatically equate undocumented immigrant with idle parasite. That stereotype is something else we shouldn’t take for granted.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Dan-el Padilla Peralta’s story is as compulsively readable as a novel, an all-American tall tale that just happens to be true. From homeless shelter to Princeton, Oxford, and Stanford, through the grace not only of his own hard work but his mother’s discipline and care, he documents the America we should still aspire to be.” —Dr. Anne-Marie Slaughter, President of the New America Foundation

Download or read book Discovering the Lost Dutchman Mine written by R. Baxa and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October of 1891 Jacob Waltz, the only man alive knowing the exact location of a rich gold mine in the Superstition Mountains, lay dying on a make-shift bed. Prior to his final breath he declared that his mine was once owned by a Mexican mining family with the last name "Peralta". Moments later he passed-on to meet his Maker, taking with him the exact location of a mine so rich it could make twenty men millionaires. For almost six decades, men searched for wealth beyond their imagination using the incomplete directions the Dutchman provided. During those decades, lives and fortunes were lost and still the location of the mine site remained a mystery. Eventually, the slopes and canyons cleared as the clues and information concerning the whereabouts of the Lost Dutchman Mine moved from first hand statements to the unsavory realm of legend and lore. In 1949 the discovery of the Peralta Stone Maps by Travis Tumlinson renewed the search for the lost mine, and once again the Superstitions were filled with men seeking incredible wealth. Once again lives and fortunes were lost in futile attempts to read the encrypted maps. Again decades passed as thoughts and information about the mine dropped deeper into the realm of "legend and lore". The search is over! The trail to the lost mine site has been discovered and the encryption used by the creators of the Peralta Stone Maps is laid bare for all to see. "Discovering the Lost Dutchman Mine" is the turning point in history where "legend and lore" become historic fact.
Book Synopsis Positive Linear Maps of Operator Algebras by : Erling Størmer
Download or read book Positive Linear Maps of Operator Algebras written by Erling Størmer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, setting out the theory of positive maps as it stands today, reflects the rapid growth in this area of mathematics since it was recognized in the 1990s that these applications of C*-algebras are crucial to the study of entanglement in quantum theory. The author, a leading authority on the subject, sets out numerous results previously unpublished in book form. In addition to outlining the properties and structures of positive linear maps of operator algebras into the bounded operators on a Hilbert space, he guides readers through proofs of the Stinespring theorem and its applications to inequalities for positive maps. The text examines the maps’ positivity properties, as well as their associated linear functionals together with their density operators. It features special sections on extremal positive maps and Choi matrices. In sum, this is a vital publication that covers a full spectrum of matters relating to positive linear maps, of which a large proportion is relevant and applicable to today’s quantum information theory. The latter sections of the book present the material in finite dimensions, while the text as a whole appeals to a wider and more general readership by keeping the mathematics as elementary as possible throughout.

Book Synopsis Mapping Indigenous Land by : Ana Pulido Rull
Download or read book Mapping Indigenous Land written by Ana Pulido Rull and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1536 and 1601, at the request of the colonial administration of New Spain, indigenous artists crafted more than two hundred maps to be used as evidence in litigation over the allocation of land. These land grant maps, or mapas de mercedes de tierras, recorded the boundaries of cities, provinces, towns, and places; they made note of markers and ownership, and, at times, the extent and measurement of each field in a territory, along with the names of those who worked it. With their corresponding case files, these maps tell the stories of hundreds of natives and Spaniards who engaged in legal proceedings either to request land, to oppose a petition, or to negotiate its terms. Mapping Indigenous Land explores how, as persuasive and rhetorical images, these maps did more than simply record the disputed territories for lawsuits. They also enabled indigenous communities—and sometimes Spanish petitioners—to translate their ideas about contested spaces into visual form; offered arguments for the defense of these spaces; and in some cases even helped protect indigenous land against harmful requests. Drawing on her own paleography and transcription of case files, author Ana Pulido Rull shows how much these maps can tell us about the artists who participated in the lawsuits and about indigenous views of the contested lands. Considering the mapas de mercedes de tierras as sites of cross-cultural communication between natives and Spaniards, Pulido Rull also offers an analysis of medieval and modern Castilian law, its application in colonial New Spain, and the possibilities for empowerment it opened for the native population. An important contribution to the literature on Mexico's indigenous cartography and colonial art, Pulido Rull’s work suggests new ways of understanding how colonial space itself was contested, negotiated, and defined.

Download or read book The Age of Walls written by Tim Marshall and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author examines the borders that shape our world in “an incisive, meticulous survey of humanity’s physical barriers” (Booklist, starred review). The globe has always been a world of walls, from the Great Wall of China to Hadrian’s Wall to the Berlin Wall. But a new age of isolationism is upon us, as evidenced by Britain’s Brexit, and growing support for a US/Mexico border wall. China holds back Western culture with the great Firewall, while European countries erect barriers against immigrants, terrorism, and currency issues. In fact, more than a third of the world’s nation-states have barriers along their borders. In The Age of Walls, Tim Marshall examines how walls and borders have been shaping our political landscape for hundreds of years and how they figure in the diplomatic relations and geo-political events of today. Written in his brisk, inimitable style, he draws on his real life experiences as a reporter from hotspots around the globe, and provides an engaging context that is often missing from political discussion.

The book "THE LOST DUTCHMAN MINE and PEG LEG PETE MINE" may lead one to the forgoing conclusion in regards to the Lost Dutchman Mine. However, after over five years of research and writing this writer can state that his conclusions are not fact nor fiction, just supposition. However, the book is designed to allow the reader to answer the forgoing questions about fact or fiction about the Lost Dutchman Mine. In regards to the Peg Leg Pete Mine (a supposition essay) the reader is allowed to answer the question about factor fiction for themselves. This writer's first journey into the past began when he wrote "THE EL MONTE PARK HISTORY" when he was working at El Monte Park (Lakeside, California). as a Park Ranger After, thirteen months of research and writing the completed work (THE EL MONTE PARK HISTORY) contained twelve pages. Years later in an abandoned pump house (8'x16') located in El Monte Park; Artist/Muralist Mona and Ranger Harold Cohn created the "THE EL MONTE OAKS MUSEUM" by Mona Mills, Artist/ Muralist painting murals on the interior walls of the abandoned pump based on the book "the EL MONTE PARK HISTORY". I addition the second article this write saw published was titled: 'THE GOLDEN ONION" which appeared un the November/December issue of "GOLD PROSPECTOR MAGAZINE". Years later, Ranger Cohn took a one day course offered by Cuyamaca College, El Cajon, California titled: "INDIANS of the Desert". The course was a driving/walking tour of ancient Native American site in the Anza-Borrego Stte Park (California). Lowell and Diana Lindsay of Sunbelt Books were the instructors. it was during this tour this writer saw his first pictograph (example of Native American rock art). Diana Lindsay was giving a supposition explanation of the pictograph to the group (30-35) people. The pictograph measured *'8x12". First she said the meaning of the pictograph could be spiritual. Next she stated the pictograph could be about fertility. Then one of the group hollered out: "ITS GRAFFITI!". Then it was like a black curtain dropped. The people disappeared. There was just this writer and this writer and the pictograph. I shouted out: "THE DAMNED THING IS A MAP!' I returned to the real world at this point. I was welcomed the group\s laughter which continued the rest of the day and all of the next day for the class titled: "PIONEER'S of the DESERT: Years later I was taking a creative writing course titled: "ARTICLES WRITING". As with all creative writing, if you turned your three assignment you automatically received your "A" for the class. I had a bad case if writer's block , I was it trouble! I stuck! Then said to myself write about that pictograph you saw in the desert. As with all creative assignments every one in the class receives a copy of the article the writer has written as the writer reads it aloud. After the writer is finished the writer's work open to comments by the class. After I finished reading my article, 'THE STONE SPOKE: a classmate, "A LITTLE OLD LADY" screamed: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT I answered: MADAMN, I JUST DID! Years later and years of research and writing I wrote the e-book titled" THE STONE SPOKE". The forgoing book contains a series of supposition essay of Native American rock and related subjects.

Book excerpt: An eye-opening exploration of race in America In this deeply inspiring book, Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi recount their experiences talking to people from all walks of life about race and identity on a cross-country tour of America. Spurred by the realization that they had nearly completed high school without hearing any substantive discussion about racism in school, the two young women deferred college admission for a year to collect first-person accounts of how racism plays out in this country every day--and often in unexpected ways. In Tell Me Who You Are, Guo and Vulchi reveal the lines that separate us based on race or other perceived differences and how telling our stories--and listening deeply to the stories of others--are the first and most crucial steps we can take towards negating racial inequity in our culture. Featuring interviews with over 150 Americans accompanied by their photographs, this intimate toolkit also offers a deep examination of the seeds of racism and strategies for effecting change. This groundbreaking book will inspire readers to join Guo and Vulchi in imagining an America in which we can fully understand and appreciate who we are.
