Sharing the Dream
States that White males matter very much to discussions of race, ethnicity, and gender in the US due to their numbers and the influence they wield. This book explores the heterogeneity of white male America, taking into account such factors as age, ethnicity, ideology, social class, regional background, occupational status, and sexual orientation.
A Town Divided
Arrogance in a small town may be compared to a societal game. The object of the game is to convince as many opponents as possible to change sides, using verbal or written means, including insults and innuendo to accomplish this goal. When nastiness fails to attract anyone from the opponents' side, the game is over. Unfortunately, in the small Western town of River Valley, members of the two teams may remain permanently divided. Two men from different classes in society, Franklin Gillard and Jack Parker, have become team captains in this competition. Assistant County Prosecutor Gillard started the game, while Parker was unintentionally drawn into it. The important question is: Will the town o...
Cancer Informatics
Cancer Informatics chronicles the development of the National Cancer Institute's new Cancer Informatics Infrastructure (CII) - an information management system infrastructure designed to faciliate clinical trials, provide for reliable, secure information exchange, and improve patient care. The book details the challenges involved in creating and managing such a knowledge base, including technologies, standards, and current, state-of-the-art applications. The ultimate goal of CII is to function as an enabler of clinical trials, expediting the clinical trials lifecycle, faciliating faster and safer drug development and more appropriate treatment choices for cancer patients. Contributors address the role the CII must play in converting the growing knowledge of genes, proteins, and pathways into appropriate preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic measures. Presented in four sections, the first provides an overview of the processes involved in moving the infrastructure for cancer from theory into practice. Sections two through four offer the latest work done in the areas of technology, cancer-specific and national standards, and applications to faciliate clinical trials.

Identity Politics
The subject of identity politics has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. In this collection of topical articles, readers will become familiar with a wide range of opinions and news concerning individual and group identities that form around race, sexual orientation, gender, political party affiliation, and more. The political usefulness of certain identities is explored, with a particular focus on the 2016 presidential election and the implications of one identity being politically asserted over another. Media literacy terms and questions will engage readers to consider the topic beyond the text.

Something That You Know
Perhaps the finest memoir ever was never written at all. It was performed. I’m referring to an improvised scene in a now obscure Harrison Ford movie entitled Blade Runner. In it, the gifted German actor and poet, Rutger Hauer, plays, Roy Batty, a replicant. A replicant is basically a machine, but one capable of human emotion. And in this final scene, Roy, is dying exactly as you’d expect a machine to die. Just like a common flashlight, Roy’s batteries are getting low. But Roy is dying a machine death but at the same time feeling and expressing human emotions, a thing no flashlight I’m aware of can do, not even the long black ones the police carry and sometimes use as a weapon. It’s...
