Building a Roll-Off Roof Observatory
Almost every amateur astronomer who has taken the pursuit to its second level aspires to a fixed, permanent housing for his telescope, permitting its rapid and comfortable use avoiding hours of setting-up time for each observing session. A roll-off roof observatory is the simplest and by far the most popular observatory design for today’s practical astronomers. Building a Roll-off Roof Observatory is unique, covering all aspects of designing a roll-off roof observatory: planning the site, viewing requirements, conforming to by-laws, and orientation of the structure. The chapters outline step-by-step construction of a typical building. The author, both an amateur astronomer and professional landscape architect, is uniquely qualified to write this fully-detailed book. A professionally designed roll-off observatory could cost as much as $3000 just for the plans – which are provided free with Building a Roll-off Roof Observatory.

Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education
Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education brings together scholarship that uses critical race theory (CRT) to provide a comprehensive understanding of race, racism, social justice, and experiential knowledge of African Americans’ mathematics education. CRT has gained traction within the educational research sphere, and this book extends and applies this framework to chronicle the paths of mathematics educators who advance and use CRT. This edited collection brings together scholarship that addresses the racial challenges thrusted upon Black learners and the gatekeeping nature of the discipline of mathematics. Across the ten chapters, scholars expand the uses of CRT in mathematics education and share insights with stakeholders regarding the racialized experiences of mathematics students and educators. Collectively, the volume explains how researchers, practitioners, and policymakers can use CRT to examine issues of race, racism, and other forms of oppression in mathematics education for Black children and adults.
Superbeauty
The name J. Stephen Hicks is synonymous with quality and excellence in photography. At the age of 19, Hicks purchased his first camera. Immediately, as he likes to explain, "I found my first true love." He spent his last year at Colorado University taking only art and photography classes, before realizing a more serious photography program was what he needed. He then moved out to California and began classes at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara. Just as Hicks had a passion for nature's beauty, he also possessed a deep affinity for the beauty of women, which led him to a studio manager job at Playboy. There he worked for such great photographers as Phillip Dixon, Richard Fegley, Ken Marcus, and Arny Freytag. Soon, J. Stephen Hicks the glamour photographer was born.
