Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1980 Census introduced a radical change in the measurement of ethnicity by gathering information on ancestry for all respondents, regardless of how long ago their forebears migrated to America, and by allowing respondents of mixed background to list more than one ancestry. The result, presented for the first time in this important study, is a unique and sometimes startling picture of the nation's ethnic makeup. From Many Strands focuses on each of the sixteen principal European ethnic groups, as well as on major non-European groups such as blacks and Hispanics. The authors describe differences and similarities across a range of dimensions, including regional distribution, income, marriage patterns, and education. While some findings lend support to the "melting pot" theory of assimilation (levels of educational attainment have become more comparable and ingroup marriage is declining), other findings suggest the persistence of pluralism (settlement patterns resist change and some current occupational patterns date from the turn of the century). In these contradictions, and in the striking number of respondents who report no ethnic background or report it incorrectly, Lieberson and Waters find evidence of considerable ethnic flux and uncover the growing presence of a new, "unhyphenated American" ethnic strand in the fabric of national life.

This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity did not begin in Bethlehem. The sacred promise of a redeemer was known to ancient people. We can find it written not only in Genesis of the Bible but also in the early constellations and myths of ancient people. We also find it among artifacts and early worship practices. We can see that Christianity was not borrowed from pagan myths and mysteries, but rather those myths and mysteries contain a knowledge (though imperfect) of a redeemer known from the earliest ages. This knowledge has flowed from the very beginning of history.
