“Race” and Racism

“Race” and Racism

R. Perry

Palgrave Macmillan
2007
nidottu
'Race' and Racism examines the origins and development of racism in North America. It addresses the inception and persistence of the concept of 'race' and discusses the biology of human variance, addressing the fossil record of human evolution, the relationship between creationism and science, population genetics, 'race'-based medicine, and other related issues. The book explores the diverse ways in which people in a variety of cultures have perceived, categorized, and defined one another without reference to any concept of 'race.' It follows the history of American racism through slavery, the perceptions and treatment of Native Americans, Jim Crow laws, attitudes toward Irish and Southern European immigrants, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, the civil rights era, and numerous other topics.

By the Rasping in My Lungs Something Evil This Way Comes: The Chronicle of an Independent Air Quality Field Researcher and Activist Presenting a Perso

R. Perry Walker

This book is a detailed autobiographical account of Walker's decade of science-based challenges of natural gas development activities in the Jonah Field, Pinedale Anticline Field, and proposed Wyoming Range fields located in Sublette County, Wyoming. This story exposes the intense political interagency conflicts that constantly impeded meaningful regulatory actions to address growing hydrocarbon and ozone air pollution from natural gas drilling and production. The purpose of this book is to articulate a warning. The oil and gas industry is adept at the art of maneuver to gain support of local and higher politicians. Furthermore, regulatory legerdemain is a skillful art practiced by state and federal regulators who seek to appear environmentally proactive but who actually favor developers. Finally, when presented with new science, they perfunctorily dismiss it. Walker's approach is unique as he applies his former U.S. Air Force professional science experience to the role of independent unfunded citizen scientist. He reveals that while national concern over fracking practices has focused on ground water damage, fracking chemicals lofted into the local air mass by well completion flaring must also be considered. About the Author R. Perry Walker grew up in Wyoming, graduated from the University of Wyoming with a B.Sc. in Physics and joined the U.S. Air Force the same year. He served in the Viet Nam War and then elected to become a career officer. He earned an M.Sc. in Nuclear Reactor Engineering at the University of Lowell, Massachusetts. His military career involved research in a variety of high-tech fields including infrared imaging, underground nuclear testing, and nuclear weapons effects on optics in support of President Reagan's Space Defense Initiative. He holds a U.S. patent and has authored twenty-one classified technical papers about military technologies as well as eighteen public comment and analysis documents about air quality impacts from natural gas development in western Wyoming.

New Environmentalism

New Environmentalism

Chris R. de Freitas; Martin Perry

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2012
sidottu
This book explains the role of New Zealand’s environmental agencies and regulatory legislation, taking in the impact of international agreements and treaties. It traces the fortunes of sustainable policy approaches and analyzes the activities of the public agencies charged with managing the environment. Moving on to a detailed thematic status report on New Zealand’s environment, it examines rural, freshwater, coastal, oceanic, atmospheric and urban zones. Finally, chapters detail public perceptions and normative environmental values as well as the depth of business commitment to environmental responsibility. An ideal introduction to the topic for a diverse range of scholars, the book eschews any specific theoretical framework in charting the recent evolution, current operation and future trajectory of environmentalism in New Zealand. It backs strategic advice with both social and ecological data, and raises questions over the country’s reputation for greenness at the same time as recognizing its numerous achievements. With neat summaries of key issues at the end of each chapter, expansive guidance on further reading, and a multitude of examples ideal for classroom debate, this volume gives us an informed, objective, and wide-ranging appraisal on a topic of increasing centrality in the policy debate.

Silence and Voice in the Study of Contentious Politics

Silence and Voice in the Study of Contentious Politics

Ronald R. Aminzade; Jack A. Goldstone; Doug McAdam; Elizabeth J. Perry; William H. Sewell; Sidney Tarrow; Charles Tilley

Cambridge University Press

pokkari
The aim of this book is to highlight and begin to give ‘voice’ to some of the notable ‘silences’ evident in recent years in the study of contentious politics. The seven co-authors take up seven specific topics in the volume: the relationship between emotions and contention; temporality in the study of contention; the spatial dimensions of contention; leadership in contention; the role of threat in contention; religion and contention; and contention in the context of demographic and life-course processes. The seven spent three years involved in an ongoing project designed to take stock, and attempt a partial synthesis, of various literatures that have grown up around the study of non-routine or contentious politics. As such, it is likely to be viewed as a groundbreaking volume that not only undermines conventional disciplinary understanding of contentious politics, but also lays out a number of provocative new research agendas.

An examination of the 1999 conflict in Kosovo, with a focus on joint military operations. The 1999 military operation against the Yugoslav Army in Kosovo suggests several areas in which Joint military operations were deficient. This study examined all aspects of the Kosovo conflict, including its political and historical underpinnings, in an attempt to understand these deficiencies and to recommend improvements. This document--provided in both a classified and unclassified version--is based on extensive original source documents and interviews with most of the principal participants, and serves as the definitive Army record on Kosovo. While the primary focus of the research was on U.S. Army involvement, it covered many other aspects of Operation Allied Force. Topics included NATO objectives in Operation Allied Force, air and ground planning, evolution of the air operation and its effects on fielded Yugoslav forces, Task Force Hawk, and peace operations.

The Quest for Purpose

The Quest for Purpose

Perry L. Glanzer; Jonathan P. Hill; Byron R. Johnson

State University of New York Press
2017
sidottu
Demonstrates how students and educators can resist narrow, utilitarian views of higher education's purpose.While the search for meaning and purpose appears to be a constant throughout human history, there are characteristics about our current time period that make this search different from any other previous time, particularly for college students. In this book, Perry L. Glanzer, Jonathan P. Hill, and Byron R. Johnson explore college students' search for meaning and purpose and the role that higher education plays. To shed empirical light on this complex issue, the authors draw on in-depth interviews with four hundred college students from different types of institutions across the United States. They also analyze three sets of national survey data: the National Study of Youth and Religion, College Students Beliefs and Values, and their own Gallup-conducted survey of 2,500 college students. Their research identifies important social, educational, and cultural influences that shape students' quests and the answers they find. Arguing against a utilitarian view of education, Glanzer, Hill, and Johnson conclude that colleges and universities can and should cultivate and aid students in their journeys, and they offer suggestions for doing so.
