Using student writing from his "Interpersonal Relationships and Race" course Dr. Rupert Nacoste presents North Carolina State University (NCSU) students' voices describing their new awareness and growing understanding of neo-diversity. Neo-diversity is what we live with today; a time and circumstance when for all of us, contact with people who do not look like us happens every day, and is unavoidable. In their own words, NCSU students describe how they have experienced the anxiety of being in interaction with a person who is not like them in some way (by race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation). These students then speak out about how their new understanding of that anxiety has changed them and made them to want to accept the reality of neo-diversity. These students howl that all students at NCSU should learn to interact with people who are not like "you" because that is the only way to make 21st America a good place for everyone to live. Read this book to hear the new howl of the Wolfpack.
The Roman Occupation of Britain and its Legacy

The Roman Occupation of Britain and its Legacy

This book tells the fascinating story of Roman Britain, beginning with the late pre-Roman Iron Age and ending with the province's independence from Roman rule in AD 409. Incorporating for the first time the most recent archaeological discoveries from Hadrian's Wall, London and other sites across the country, and richly illustrated throughout with photographs and maps, this reliable and up-to-date new account is essential reading for students, non-specialists and general readers alike. Writing in a clear, readable and lively style (with a satirical eye to strange features of past times), Rupert Jackson draws on current research and new findings to deepen our understanding of the role played by Britain in the Roman Empire, deftly integrating the ancient texts with new archaeological material. A key theme of the book is that Rome's annexation of Britain was an imprudent venture, motivated more by political prestige than economic gain, such that Britain became a 'trophy province' unable to pay its own way. However, the impact that Rome and its provinces had on this distant island was nevertheless profound: huge infrastructure projects transformed the countryside and means of travel, capital and principal cities emerged, and the Roman way of life was inseparably absorbed into local traditions. Many of those transformations continue to resonate to this day, as we encounter their traces in both physical remains and in civic life.

Abandoned and Vanished Railways of Leicestershire and Rutland
Leicestershire and Rutland have a rich railway heritage. Some the earliest railways in the world were built here and by the 1920s, Leicestershire had one of the densest rail networks of any English county. But from the 1950s onward the branch lines closed, and in 1969 even the main line of the mighty Great Central Railway closed. Today viaducts march across valleys carrying footpaths instead of steam trains, stations have been converted into houses or industrial estates, and cuttings slice dramatically through hills. Three of the closed lines have reopened as heritage railways, running steam excursions for tourists and locals. This book will look at each of the vanished or abandoned lines in turn. It will outline their construction and history, then look at the line as it is today. This volume will be an invaluable aid to those who go in search of the Abandoned and Vanished Railways of Leicestershire and Rutland.
