  • Release : 2021-01-03
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 114 pages

Download or read book The Jim Crow Car written by J C Coleman and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-03 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time three decades removed from the Civil War, the Reverend J.C. Coleman, author of THE JIM CROW CAR is a black activist traveling the country. He experiences the indignities forced upon his race in every state and witnesses the aftermath of the greatest indignity of all-lynching-murder in its vilest form. His mode of travel is the Jim Crow car, not for the benefit of his own people, but for the benefit of white passengers aghast at the idea of sitting by his side. His goal is to spread the word across the world of the innocence of the murdered, the injustice of denied rights, the dignity and worth of a people whose desire is only the enjoy the rights and opportunities they deserve in the country of which they are citizens. But Reverend Coleman's own voice is not the only voice he provides. We hear those of plaintiffs and defendants in late 19th century legal cases-those seeking to deny and those to grant justice for former slaves, free persons of color, and their descendants. We hear the courageous voice of journalist Ida B. Wells Barnett. But, most of all, we hear the voices of long ago crying for peace and justice.

Book When Species Meet

    Book Details:
  • Author : Donna J. Haraway
  • Publisher : U of Minnesota Press
  • Release : 2013-11-30
  • ISBN : 1452913536
  • Pages : 439 pages

Download or read book When Species Meet written by Donna J. Haraway and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2013-11-30 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, about 69 million U.S. households had pets, giving homes to around 73.9 million dogs, 90.5 million cats, and 16.6 million birds, and spending more than 38 billion dollars on companion animals. As never before in history, our pets are truly members of the family. But the notion of “companion species”—knotted from human beings, animals and other organisms, landscapes, and technologies—includes much more than “companion animals.” In When Species Meet, Donna J. Haraway digs into this larger phenomenon to contemplate the interactions of humans with many kinds of critters, especially with those called domestic. At the heart of the book are her experiences in agility training with her dogs Cayenne and Roland, but Haraway’s vision here also encompasses wolves, chickens, cats, baboons, sheep, microorganisms, and whales wearing video cameras. From designer pets to lab animals to trained therapy dogs, she deftly explores philosophical, cultural, and biological aspects of animal–human encounters. In this deeply personal yet intellectually groundbreaking work, Haraway develops the idea of companion species, those who meet and break bread together but not without some indigestion. “A great deal is at stake in such meetings,” she writes, “and outcomes are not guaranteed. There is no assured happy or unhappy ending-socially, ecologically, or scientifically. There is only the chance for getting on together with some grace.” Ultimately, she finds that respect, curiosity, and knowledge spring from animal–human associations and work powerfully against ideas about human exceptionalism.

Book Genesis

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jan Sapp
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2003-09-11
  • ISBN : 9780198035503
  • Pages : 384 pages

Download or read book Genesis written by Jan Sapp and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-11 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genesis: The Evolution of Biology presents a history of the past two centuries of biology, suitable for use in courses, but of interest more broadly to evolutionary biologists, geneticists, and biomedical scientists, as well as general readers interested in the history of science. The book covers the early evolutionary biologists-Lamarck, Cuvier, Darwin and Wallace through Mayr and the neodarwinian synthesis, in much the same way as other histories of evolution have done, bringing in also the social implications, the struggles with our religious understanding, and the interweaving of genetics into evolutionary theory. What is novel about Sapp's account is a real integration of the cytological tradition, from Schwann, Boveri, and the other early cell biologists and embryologists, and the coverage of symbiosis, microbial evolutionary phylogenies, and the new understanding of the diversification of life coming from comparative analyses of complete microbial genomes. The book is a history of theories about evolution, genes and organisms from Lamarck and Darwin to the present day. This is the first book on the general history of evolutionary biology to include the history of research and theories about symbiosis in evolution, and first to include research on microbial evolution which were excluded from the classical neo-Darwinian synthesis. Bacterial evolution, and symbiosis in evolution are also excluded from virtually every book on the history of biology.
