Lecture Notes in Algebraic Topology
The amount of algebraic topology a graduate student specializing in topology must learn can be intimidating. Moreover, by their second year of graduate studies, students must make the transition from understanding simple proofs line-by-line to understanding the overall structure of proofs of difficult theorems. To help students make this transition, the material in this book is presented in an increasingly sophisticated manner. It is intended to bridge the gap between algebraic and geometric topology, both by providing the algebraic tools that a geometric topologist needs and by concentrating on those areas of algebraic topology that are geometrically motivated.

Who is Black?
Focusing primarily on Americans' views of blackness, Davis provides cross-cultural comparisons to demonstrate how other countries' interpretations of who is black vary. He details and closely analyzes the history of the "one-drop rule," which states that any person having at least one black ancestor is defined as black. He probes the social and legal consequences of this definition, and examines other ways of viewing who is black in the United States. Davis also includes an insightful look at black singer Lena Horne's struggles with her own racial identity. ISBN 0-271-00739-7: $25.00.
