HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS HARD MICHAEL CARSON, a high school senior, wants to bring a little "blackness" to his small, predominately White, hometown of Grainger, Tennessee - starting with his school. Shouldn't be a problem, right?Wrong...there are many problems. The rEVOLUTIONS of Michael Carson, a fictionalized memoir from debut writer James "Mickey" Gwyn, fulfills a promise he made to a few former classmates. This novel chronicles the twists and turns of a teen's naive mission to organize a ragtag group of kids to fight for a Black Students Association. Michael could never have imagined what lay ahead; including putting his own life at risk.In pursuit of his quest, Michael has to contend with a school administration dead set on stopping his dream, a bigoted classmate, unsupportive peers, a close friend's unexpected pregnancy and a personal relationship that goes against all that Michael stands for. Does underdog Michael overcome countless obstacles and reach his goal? The rEVOLUTIONS of Michael Carson takes readers on an emotional journey to reveal the answer.

The Heresies of the Plymouth Brethren (1883)

The Heresies of the Plymouth Brethren (1883)

sidottu
The Heresies Of The Plymouth Brethren is a book written by James C. L. Carson and published in 1883. The book is a critical examination of the beliefs and practices of the Plymouth Brethren, a Christian movement that emerged in the early 19th century. Carson argues that the Plymouth Brethren have strayed from orthodox Christian doctrine and have embraced a number of heretical teachings. He examines their views on the nature of Christ, the authority of Scripture, the role of the Holy Spirit, and other key theological issues. Carson also critiques the practices of the Plymouth Brethren, including their approach to worship, their rejection of formal church structures, and their emphasis on individual interpretation of Scripture. The book is written from a conservative Protestant perspective and seeks to expose what the author sees as dangerous departures from traditional Christian teaching. Despite its age, The Heresies Of The Plymouth Brethren remains an important work for those interested in the history of Christian theology and the development of Protestantism.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1883 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Mo

Mo

Everybody liked Mo. Throughout his political life and especially during his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976 thousands of people were drawn to Arizona congressman Morris K. Udall by his humor, humanity, and courage. This biography traces the remarkable career of the candidate who was "too funny to be president" and introduces readers to Mo the politician, Mo the environmentalist, and Mo the man. Journalists Donald Carson and James Johnson interviewed more than one hundred of Udall's associates and family members to create an unusually rich portrait. They recall Udall's Mormon boyhood in Arizona when he lost an eye at age six, his service during World War II, his brief career in professional basketball, and his work as a lawyer and county prosecutor, which earned him a reputation for fairness and openness. Mo provides the most complete record of Udall's thirty-year congressional career ever published. It reveals how he challenged the House seniority system and turned the House Interior Committee into a powerful panel that did as much to protect the environment as any organization in the twentieth century. It shows Udall to have been a consensus builder for environmental issues who paved the way for the Alaska Lands Act of 1980, helped set aside 2.4 million acres of wilderness in Arizona, and fought for the Central Arizona Project, one of the most ambitious water projects in U.S. history. Carson and Johnson record Udall's early opposition to the Vietnam War at a time when that conflict was largely perceived as a just cause, as well as his early advocacy of campaign finance reform. They also provide a behind-the-scenes account of his run for the presidency the first House member to seek the office in nearly a century which gained him an intensely loyal national following. Mo explores the paradoxes that beset Udall: He was a man able to accomplish things politically because people genuinely liked and respected him, yet he was a loner and workaholic whose focus on politics overshadowed his personal life. Carson and Johnson devote a chapter to the famous Udall sense of humor. They also look sensitively at his role as a husband and father and at his proud and stubborn bout with Parkinson's disease. Mo Udall will long be remembered for his contributions to environmental legislation, for his unflagging efforts in behalf of Arizona, and for the gentle humor with which he conducted his life. This book secures his legacy.

Low-Carbon Investing

Low-Carbon Investing

James Patrick Costello

Green River Sustainable Financial Services
2018
pokkari
This book is for people who understand that carbon emissions are driving the dangerous phenomenon of global warming, and who wish to do their part in mitigating this risk by lowering the carbon footprint of their investments - without sacrificing investment performance.The most important new trend in investing today goes by the acronym E-S-G, which involves evaluating a company's investment potential by scrutinizing its Environmental, Social and Governance practices.Within ESG strategies, analysts have developed tools for measuring the "carbon footprint" of companies and funds. Morningstar, Inc. just launched a Carbon-Risk assessment tool that measures how vulnerable a company or fund is to the inevitable transition from a fossil-fuel based economy to a lower-carbon economy. There is a looming problem: As so often happens, ESG has been manipulated by some financial firms to camouflage a continued reliance on fossil fuel company investments, in a process known as "Green Washing." This book will help investors make sure the high performance funds included in their portfolios use an ESG process that emphasizes fossil fuel divestment and carbon footprint reduction But finding low-carbon, high performance funds is not the end of the investment process. The next challenge is building a portfolio: selecting a strategically diversified group of six to twelve funds that together match the unique risk tolerance and goals of each investor.To help investors navigate the financial services industry, Patrick also explains: The attributes of different kinds of investment vehicles How to build diversified, risk-calibrated investment portfolios How to bypass financial propaganda and stay focused on long term investment goals The differences in expertise and accountability offered by various types of financial professionals How to avoid hidden fees and unnecessary investment limitations

Carbon Dioxide Equilibria and Their Applications

Carbon Dioxide Equilibria and Their Applications

James N. Butler

CRC Press Inc
1991
nidottu
Carbon dioxide, bicarbonate ion, and carbonate ion comprise the most important acid-base system in natural waters, and the equilibria between them regulate the pH of seawater, as well as most rainwater, stream water, river water, and groundwater. Carbon Dioxide Equilibria and Their Applications provides a clear, compact presentation of this topic, which is central to geochemistry and environmental engineering. It emphasizes a rigorous mathematical and thermodynamic basis for calculations and their application to realistic problems. The book's first four chapters present the basic equations, mathematical techniques for visualizing and manipulating them, and data on equilibrium constants and activity coefficients. These are presented in the general context of acid-base titration and solubility of CaCO3. The remaining chapters show how these concepts and techniques are applied to geochemistry and oceanography, in addition to their applications to water conditioning. Specific topics discussed include acid rain, freshwater, seawater, carbonate sediments in the deep oceans, the effects of increased atmospheric CO2 on the oceans, estuarine waters, brines, hydrothermal solutions, pH adjustment, prediction of calcium carbonate saturation, corrosion inhibition, and water softening.
