Racial Awareness Conversations for Everyone (R.A.C.E. Cards) are intended to foster open communication around issues of race. Composed of forty-eight exploratory prompts, this deck facilitates discussion and reflection about racism, racial bias and prejudice. Based on the Crawford Bias Reduction Theory and Training (CBRT), developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Dana E. Crawford, R.A.C.E. Cards are divided into three distinct learning, practising and action tiers: Awareness cards, Investigation cards and Reduction cards. Perfect for use both as journal prompts for individuals and to facilitate professional trainings, R.A.C.E. Cards are a highly effective tool for anyone seeking a greater understanding of racial bias and how it can be mitigated.
This work examines the development of votive offerings at Athens during the fourth century B.C., as well as the social and artistic changes this accompanied. It provides a valuable catalogue of the Attic votive inscriptions to Athena Ergane and the increasingly popular healing deities, in particular Asklepius. It not only provides a detailed epigraphic and linguistic analysis of the votive texts, but also contextualises them into the archaeological sites, artistic scene, religious landscape and society they belong to. Through this combination of detailed study and broad contextualisation, the affinities between 4th century votive habits and those of the preceding period are examined, as is the emergence of new motifs that became increasingly prevalent throughout the Hellenistic period. As a result this book provides a new insight into the dynamic and important subject of social change in late Classical and early Hellenistic Greece, through the lens of votive healing offerings, a highly evocative and insightful class of object.
Time-tested information written from decades of collective experience, designed for all who seek peace, teach peace, demonstrate peace and celebrate peace.
This is Book 1 in the series. One reason for writing these books came from the need to gather together the hotchpotch array of facts dotted about in bits and pieces all over the Web, and then to add to them facts from my own knowledge and experience. I hope as a result that you'll find more of the facts you're looking for, more easily, in just one place. It also seemed to me in looking at information on the Internet, that articles about animals were often either very "scientific", with headings like "taxonomy" and "societal considerations" at the one extreme, or else over-simple picture books or articles for beginning readers at the other. Animals, like us, have personalities - and neither of these approaches gave them the "roundness" and depth of character they deserve. The books try to remedy this. Perhaps the best way to illustrate what they offer is to give just a very small sampling from the animal descriptions inside this book: ...the aardvark is like no other animal in Africa - or anywhere else, for that matter It looks as if it was put together, like a Lego set, from bits and pieces of other animals - none of which, as it happens, are its relatives. Its nose looks a bit like that of a pig - which explains the name "Aardvark", which is Afrikaans for "Earth Pig" Its ears are as big as a rabbit's. Its sticky tongue is longer than a chameleon's ... It has claws like a bear's.... on webbed feet like a duck's ... and a kangaroo would be proud of its tapering, muscular tail. Yet its closest (but very distant) living relative is the elephant.... ... Buffalos are fiercely protective of one another. Calves are pushed into the middle of a circle of adult buffalos when threatened, and injured animals are also sheltered by their companions in a similar way. Buffalos which have been blinded are protected by the herd, even while it is on the move Not content with simply defending weaker animals in the herd, buffalos have been known to seek out and destroy the cubs of lions which attack them to prevent the cubs from growing up and attacking in the future..... .... If you're a male baboon and want to be "king" of the troop you have to fight for the privilege As a female, however, you can only be "queen" if your mother is queen before you. And if she isn't then as a little girl baboon, you have to be content to grow up with whatever rank your own mother has - presumably as a baboon duchess, if you're lucky; a serving wench if you're not ... ...For young children the sound produced at a rock concert is not a problem - but for their parents, it's positively painful That's because for us humans (parents, anyway ) the level at which noise becomes painful is 120 "decibels"(which is the name scientists give to a measurement of noise ), and a good rock concert can reach around 115 decibels (which is the point where even scientists start to understand the measurements they use ). Bats can make sounds up to 140 decibels That's louder than anything other than a fighter jet in the air, and also louder than any other mammal on the ground, either But why does it need to be so loud?... ... Usain Bolt is the fastest human being on earth. His average speed over 100 metres is 37.58 km/h (23.35 mph) and his fastest recorded speed is 44.16 km/h (27.44 mph). But just how fast is that? Well, Usain would have to run at his TOP speed to outrun an elephant, which averages 40 km/h over a short distance, he would have difficulty catching his neighbour's domestic cat, with a top speed of over 48 km/h, and against his own pet cheetah (named "Lightning Bolt", would you believe ), he literally wouldn't even get out of the starting blocks In fact, driving one of his Ferraris on the M1 in the UK (with a maximum speed limit of 112.7 km/h) Usain still wouldn't catch Lightning Bolt over 100 metres with the animal's top speed of around 115 km/h These are just a sample of what the book offers.

Ali "Zoe" Adam, and Regan "RAW, The Mad Scientist" Whiteside, skillfully unwrap the self-crippling paternalistic doctrine of the Democratic Party, its covert racism and its harmful effect on the African-American community while giving a parallel exposition of the Republican Party's core values and economic principles. In a thought provoking well written exposition, Adam and Whiteside, leave no subject behind; immigration, entitlement reform, abortion, gun control, white privilege, and many other emotionally laden explosive topics are confronted head on and translated into Hip-Hop vernacular. The Hip-Hop B.L.A.C.K Republican Manifesto will transform the political landscape of the entire country for four years to come.
