Download or read book Pioneering Women in American Mathematics written by Judy Green and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the result of a study in which the authors identified all of the American women who earned PhD's in mathematics before 1940, and collected extensive biographical and bibliographical information about each of them. By reconstructing as complete a picture as possible of this group of women, Green and LaDuke reveal insights into the larger scientific and cultural communities in which they lived and worked." "The book contains an extended introductory essay, as well as biographical entries for each of the 228 women in the study. The authors examine family backgrounds, education, careers, and other professional activities. They show that there were many more women earning PhD's in mathematics before 1940 than is commonly thought." "The material will be of interest to researchers, teachers, and students in mathematics, history of mathematics, history of science, women's studies, and sociology."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Golden Gulag by : Ruth Wilson Gilmore
Download or read book Golden Gulag written by Ruth Wilson Gilmore and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2007-01-08 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1980, the number of people in U.S. prisons has increased more than 450%. Despite a crime rate that has been falling steadily for decades, California has led the way in this explosion, with what a state analyst called "the biggest prison building project in the history of the world." Golden Gulag provides the first detailed explanation for that buildup by looking at how political and economic forces, ranging from global to local, conjoined to produce the prison boom. In an informed and impassioned account, Ruth Wilson Gilmore examines this issue through statewide, rural, and urban perspectives to explain how the expansion developed from surpluses of finance capital, labor, land, and state capacity. Detailing crises that hit California’s economy with particular ferocity, she argues that defeats of radical struggles, weakening of labor, and shifting patterns of capital investment have been key conditions for prison growth. The results—a vast and expensive prison system, a huge number of incarcerated young people of color, and the increase in punitive justice such as the "three strikes" law—pose profound and troubling questions for the future of California, the United States, and the world. Golden Gulag provides a rich context for this complex dilemma, and at the same time challenges many cherished assumptions about who benefits and who suffers from the state’s commitment to prison expansion.

Book Synopsis Jewel of the Desert by : Sandra C. Taylor
Download or read book Jewel of the Desert written by Sandra C. Taylor and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1942, under the guise of "military necessity," the U.S. government evacuated 110,000 Japanese Americans from their homes on the West Coast. About 7,000 people from the San Francisco Bay Area--the vast majority of whom were American citizens--were moved to an assembly center at Tanforan Racetrack and then to a concentration camp in Topaz, Utah. Dubbed the "jewel of the desert," the camp remained in operation until October 1945. This compelling book tells the history of Japanese Americans of San Francisco and the Bay Area, and of their experiences of relocation and internment. Sandra C. Taylor first examines the lives of the Japanese Americans who settled in and around San Francisco near the end of the nineteenth century. As their numbers grew, so, too, did their sense of community. They were a people bound together not only by common values, history, and institutions, but also by their shared status as outsiders. Taylor looks particularly at how Japanese Americans kept their sense of community and self-worth alive in spite of the upheavals of internment. The author draws on interviews with fifty former Topaz residents, and on the archives of the War Relocation Authority and newspaper reports, to show how relocation and its aftermath shaped the lives of these Japanese Americans. Written at a time when the United States once again regards Japan as a threat, Taylor's study testifies to the ongoing effects of prejudice toward Americans whose face is also the face of "the enemy."

Book Synopsis The History of Claremore First United Methodist Church by : Ron Scott
Download or read book The History of Claremore First United Methodist Church written by Ron Scott and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a church that began serving a small community in Indian Territory shortly after the end of the Civil War. For many years, the church provided a place for families to worship through world wars, pandemics, and financial crises. Toward the end of the twentieth century, the church envisioned and built a new campus to serve a growing community. This bold action of faith and stewardship positioned the church for the 21st century. In 1999, with the arrival of a senior pastor with a vision of what Claremore First United Methodist Church (CFUMC) could become, the church began a remarkable period of growth and expansion of outreach ministries. For the first two decades of the 21st century, CFUMC doubled in membership and tripled in worship attendance. Through local missions, it also became known as "the church that helps people." The book describes how these extraordinary results were achieved when many mainline churches were struggling and should be of interest not only to local and statewide Methodists, but to any church or nonprofit that relies on gifts and volunteers to complete its mission. About the Author Ron Scott is a lifelong Methodist and has been a member of CFUMC since 1971. He has served in several administrative positions and ministries, and he recognized the importance of documenting the incredible story of CFUMC. In 2018, he offered to lead the effort to write a complete church history. Ron and his wife, Sally, have three children and eight grandchildren.
