The Book of Awesome Black Americans
“Activists and rap stars, abolitionists and pioneers, inventors and scientists surge with life throughout this thrilling and comprehensive work.” —Jennifer Maritza McCauley, National Endowment for the Arts Fellow A #1 Bestseller in Teen & Young Adult 21st Century U.S. History We are familiar with a handful of African Americans who are mentioned in American history books, but there are also countless others who do not get recognized in mainstream media. Their actions may not have appeared to shake the world, but their contributions to shifting American culture were just as groundbreaking. The achievements of the Black Americans included in this book range from athletic to artistic, lite...
The Brightest Mirror of God's Works
John Calvin’s perspectives on the nature, calling, and destiny of the human being is scattered all over his extensive corpus of writings. This book attempts to provide an accurate account of the main theological motifs that governed Calvin’s doctrine on the human being, while keeping in mind variable factors such as the historical development of Calvin’s thought, the pastoral and often unsystematic orientation of his theology, and the formative impact doctrinal controversies had on his thoughts. The contribution focuses specifically on Calvin’s understanding of the created structure of the human being, her sinful nature, the human being’s union with Christ, the limits of human reas...
The Almanac Of Women And Minorities In World Politics
The Almanac of Women and Minorities in World Politics is a reference book that provides political and biographical details on the achievements of women and minorities in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of every nation (and most dependent territories) in the world. The "Executive" section on a particular country might include information on that country's first woman president, or its first minority prime minister, for example. It also includes information on the first female cabinet member, and first female ambassador. Likewise, the "Legislative" section provides details on the first women and minority members of the national parliament. And, the "Judicial" section might give data on the country's first women and minority judges. The book also features a number of shorter, politically-oriented biographical sketches that chronicle all the women--and certain minority individuals--who have influenced the political environment of their nation, either locally or internationally, both adversely and constructively, since 1900.
Den lyserøde trekant mellem politik, aids og kultur
Dette er vores erindringer om vores politiske arbejde og arbejde med at lede Landsforeningen og dermed vores personlige vinkel på foreningens historie. På den ene side skriver vi om vores egne oplevelser, de politiske debatter vi deltog i, de udvalg og kommissioner vi var med i, møder og samarbejder med politikere, embedsmænd og andre beslutningstagere samt det samfund, som Danmark var dengang. På den anden side skriver vi om det indre liv og de mange aktiviteter, som Landsforeningen dengang var præget af og som vi også var del af. Vores historie har fokus på perioden fra midt i 1970erne frem til 2002 med enkelte tråde både længere tilbage og længere frem i tiden.
Women of the Foreign Office
Since the suffrage campaigns in the early twentieth century, the advancement of women's rights in the UK has been nonstop. Proponents of the cause have aimed for equality across all sectors: personal and civil rights, employment rights, equal pay – and yet Britain's first official female ambassador did not take up her position until 1976. Many obstacles lay between a capable, educated woman and the fulfilment of her potential. Here, Elizabeth and Richard Warburton cast a detailed eye over the advancement of women in the Foreign Office, as diplomats, ambassadors, ministers and Foreign Secretary. Leaving no stone unturned, they discuss the culturally conservative, closed pillar of the Foreign Office in the context of the times, and of the development of women's rights both in the UK and across the first world. Supported by first-person accounts, they explore the stories of those who successfully broke through the constraints of convention, prejudice and law, and why.
Augustoprøret 1943
Den 29. august 1943 brød den danske samarbejdspolitik med tyskerne endeligt sammen, og Danmark tog fast plads i den allierede lejr. Interneringen af den danske hær og sænkningen af den danske flåde 29. august har siden stået som ikoniske billeder på samarbejdspolitikkens sammenbrud, men i virkeligheden begyndte kollapset en måned før - og bredte sig som en bølge af folkelige protester fra Odense til Esbjerg, Ålborg, Nyborg og Korsør, før det endte i hovedstaden. I AUGUST 1943 fortæller Simon Ankjærgaard den dramatiske og ofte glemte historie om danskernes trodsighed hen over landet i form af både sabotage og store demonstrationer. Det sker med udgangspunkt i nogle af hovedpersonerne i de forskellige byer. Bogen er blevet til gennem research i store og små arkiver og udkommer rigt illustreret i stort format.
Thermoelectrics Handbook
Ten years ago, D.M. Rowe introduced the bestselling CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics to wide acclaim.

Reflecting the latest trends and developments, the Thermoelectrics Handbook: Macro to Nano is an extension of the earlier work and covers the entire range of thermoelectrics disciplines. Serving as a convenient reference as well as a thorough introduction to thermoelectrics, this book includes contributions from 99 leading authorities from around the world. Its co...
