Deciding, individually to hide in plain sight; arriving to class in Long Island University at the same time they grappled determinedly for the very same seat in the very back of the large introductory program amphitheater. They were, in no particular order, Ezra Goldman, Max Ottoman, Douglas Fields and Ira Sinclair. No class was big enough for the four of them. Try as they might, they couldn’t decide who should occupy the coveted seat, so the seat went empty as the four young assuming gladiators stood guard. Each man had told their co-conspirators just why ‘he’ should be granted the seat. After hearing each argument, ‘No’ one willingly relinquished their hold on the seat. The class ended with those obstinate guys standing in a cluster around the vacant seat. Needless to say taking notes was difficult if not impossible while standing guard holding onto their undeserving possession.
America the beautiful. It is truly a beautiful country, comprised of hundreds and hundreds of unique cities, towns, communities, villages – all situated and spread out randomly in this wilderness, this land designated as the United States. It seemed so that we can find our way about, locating each other and finding those not lost, we identify spaces by selective names to coincide with the numerical values made possible for mapping out space. Some spaces are more populated and better known than others. Our country is divided into segments called states. There are fifty, not all attached, and they each have their own name. The subject of this book is primarily one southern state called Missi...

Western culture has long been fascinated by black women, but a history of enslavement and colonial conquest has variously labeled black women's bodies as "exotic" and "grotesque." In this remarkable cultural history of black female beauty, Janell Hobson explores the enduring figure of the "Hottentot Venus." In 1810, Saartjie Baartman was taken from South Africa to Europe, where she was put on display at circuses, salons, and museums and universities as the "Hottentot Venus." The subsequent legacy of representations of black women's sexuality-from Josephine Baker to Serena Williams to hip-hop and dancehall videos-continues to refer back to this persistent icon. This book analyzes the history of critical and artistic responses to this iconography by black women in contemporary photography, film, literature, music, and dance.
The Principles of Heterocyclic Chemistry presents a unified account of fundamental heterocyclic chemistry with the emphasis placed on the correlations between the methods of preparation and the properties of the various ring systems. This book opens with an introductory chapter that discussesfundamental concepts of the electronic theory of organic chemistry and the relationship of heterocyclic and carbocyclic aromatic compounds. This is followed by separate chapters on the chemistry of the six-membered ring compounds containing one or more heteroatoms, five-membered ring compounds, three- and four-membered rings, and the physical properties of representative heterocyclic compounds. Each chap...
