Work And The Glory 3-Pack: Pillar Of Light / American Zion / A House Divided, The (Widescreen) : "The Work And The Glory" 3-Pack includes "Pillar Of Light", "American Zion" and "A House Divided". "The Work And The Glory: Pillar Of Light": Adapted from Gerald N. Lund's best selling series, "The Work And The Glory" is a moving love story set against the backdrop of religious intolerance on the American frontier of the early 1800's. Recently moved to upstate New York from the comfort of their Vermont homestead, the Benjamin Steed family makes their way into the established social structure of Palmyra. In their attempt to settle peacefully into the new community they find the help that they have hired to clear their land is at the center of a religious controversy - a controversy that threatens to tear the family apart. Two of the Steed brothers contend for the favor of a wealthy merchant's daughter and they find themselves on opposite sides of the religious question. As the family struggles to smooth the contention they find themselves twisted into deeper issues of family loyalty and the pursuit of truth. "The Work And The Glory II: American Zion" sets the story of the fictional Steed fami...
The Invisible Poor: America's Forgotten Workers by David K. Shipler, ISBN 0375408908 : ""Most of the people I write about in this book do not have the luxury of rage. They are caught in exhausting struggles. Their wages do not lift them far enough from poverty to improve their lives, and their lives, in turn, hold them back. The term by which they are usually described, 'working poor, ' should be an oxymoron. Nobody who works hard should be poor in America." --from the Introduction From the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Arab and Jew, a new book that presents a searing, intimate portrait of working American families struggling against insurmountable odds to escape poverty. As David K. Shipler makes clear in this powerful, humane study, the invisible poor are engaged in the activity most respected in American ideology--hard, honest work. But their version of the American Dream is a nightmare: low-paying, dead-end jobs; the profound failure of government to improve upon decaying housing, health care, and education; the failure of families to break the patterns of child abuse and substance abuse. Shipler exposes the interlocking problems by taking us into the sorrowful...
Killing the Black Body by Dorothy Roberts, ISBN 0679758690 : This is a no-holds-barred response to the liberal and conservative retreat from an assertive, activist, and socially transformative civil rights agenda of recent years--using a black feminist lens and the issue of the impact of recent legislation, social policy, and welfare "reform" on black women's--especially poor black women's--control over their bodies' autonomy and their freedom to bear and raise children with respect and dignity in a society whose white mainstream is determined to demonize, even criminalize their lives. It gives its readers a cogent legal and historical argument for a radically new, and socially transformative, definition of "liberty" and "equality" for the American polity from a black feminist perspective. The author is able to combine the most innovative and radical thinking on several fronts--racial theory, feminist, and legal--to produce a work that is at once history and political treatise. By using the history of how American law--beginning with slavery--has treated the issue of the state's right to interfere with the black woman's body, the author explosively ...
El Coran: The Koran, Spanish-Language Edition : One of the great masterpieces of world thought, a work of immense religious and literary value, the Qur'an, or Cor'an in the present version, is read and studied by Muslims, spiritual seekers, and students of religion, history, and Middle Eastern culture. Considered a direct message from Allah to humanity, transmitted through the Prophet Muhammad, it extends beyond spiritual concerns to social codes of conduct, scientific knowledge, political and legal wisdom, and even prophecies of future events. Julio Cortes's Spanish translation uses a thoughtful, sensitive style to bring to life both the poetry and the wisdom of this seminal work that has been, and remains, a guiding work in the lives of millions of people in many cultures, past and present.
Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington, ISBN 0451527542 : A MAN WHO OVERCAME THE BONDS OF SLAVERY TO BECOME A SPOKESMAN FOR HIS PEOPLE. Historically acknowledged as one of America's most powerful and persuasive orators, Booker T. Washington consistently challenged the forces of racial prejudice at a time when such behavior from a black man was unheard of. While he mollified white leaders by publicly agreeing with their racist views of social parity, he also worked tirelessly to convince blacks to work together as one people in order to improve their lives and the future of their race. Up From Slavery is the dramatic autobiographical account of how one man stood fast against the social and idealogical bias prevalent in his day. It tells the story of Washington's unique American experience -- a struggle that he began as a slave and never gave up. From his fight for education to his founding of the world-renowned Tuskegee Institute, Washington's Up From Slavery is one of the most significant and defining works in American literature.
Black Power: The Politics of Liberation in America by Stokely Carmichael, ISBN 0679743138 : In 1967, this revolutionary work exposed the depths of systemic racism in this country and provided a radical political framework for reform: true and lasting social change would only be accomplished through unity among African-Americans and their independence from the preexisting order. An eloquent document of the civil rights movement that remains a work of profound social relevance 25 years after it was first published.

Using movement, objects, images and sounds, La Gegene evokes the Algerian War and its related acts of violent torture as well as today's media deluge. Filmed in an experimental fashion, this documentary depicts the strength of this activist art work as it invites viewers to question social, political, historical, and contemporary events.
When Work Disappears: The Work of the New Urban Poor by William Julius Wilson, ISBN 0679724176 : Wilson, one of our foremost authorities on race and poverty, challenges decades of liberal and conservative pieties to look squarely at the devastating effects that joblessness has had on our urban ghettos. Marshaling a vast array of data and the personal stories of hundreds of men and women, Wilson persuasively argues that problems endemic to America's inner cities--from fatherless households to drugs and violent crime--stem directly from the disappearance of blue-collar jobs in the wake of a globalized economy. Wilson's achievement is to portray this crisis as one that affects all Americans, and to propose solutions whose benefits would be felt across our society. At a time when welfare is ending and our country's racial dialectic is more strained than ever, When Work Disappears is a sane, courageous, and desperately important work. "Wilson is the keenest liberal analyst of the most perplexing of all American problems...[This book is] more ambitious and more accessible than anything he has done before.
Grandes Muralistas (Full Frame) : "Diego Rivera" - (December 8, 1886 - November 24, 1957) was a Mexican painter and muralist born in Guanajuato, Mexico. Diego is perhaps best known by the public world for his 1933 mural, "Man at the Crossroads," in the lobby of the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center. When his patron Nelson Rockefeller discovered that the mural included a portrait of Lenin and other communist imagery, he fired Rivera, and the unfinished work was eventually destroyed by Rockefeller's staff. The film "Cradle Will Rock" includes a dramatization of the controversy. Diego Rivera was born to a Converso family (descended from Jews who converted to Roman Catholicism) Rivera was sponsored to study art in Europe by the governor of the State of Veracruz. On his arrival in Europe in 1907 Rivera initially went to study with Eduardo Chicharro in Madrid, Spain, and from there proceeded to Paris, France, to live and work with the great gathering of artists in Montparnasse, especially at La Ruche, where his friend Amedeo Modigliani painted his portrait in 1914. In 1956 he made his second trip to Russia (his first was in 1927-...
History of African-American Artists: From 1792 to the Present : A landmark work of art history: lavishly illustrated and extraordinary for its thoroughness, A History of African-American Artists -- conceived, researched, and written by the great American artist Romare Bearden with journalist Harry Henderson, who completed the work after Bearden's death in 1988 -- gives a conspectus of African-American art from the late eighteenth century to the present. It examines the lives and careers of more than fifty signal African-American artists, and the relation of their work to prevailing artistic, social, and political trends both in America and throughout the world. Beginning with a radical reevaluation of the enigma of Joshua Johnston, a late eighteenth-century portrait painter widely assumed by historians to be one of the earliest known African-American artists, Bearden and Henderson go on to examine the careers of Robert S. Duncanson, Edward M. Bannister, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Aaron Douglas, Edmonia Lewis, Jacob Lawrence, Hale A. Woodruff, Augusta Savage, Charles H. Alston, Ellis Wilson, Archibald J. Motley, Jr., Horace Pippin, Alma W. Thomas, and many ot...
Our Daily Bread And Other Films Of The Great Depression (Full Frame) : Franklin Roosevelt's 1933 inauguration marked a rebirth of hope among Americans and inaugurated an era of government activity and social experiment designed to pull the country out of the great economic depression in which it had been mired for years. Although Hollywood movies, especially those made under the Production Code, were intended as escapist entertainment and seldom addressed issues of the time, the independent "Our Daily Bread" and the superb nonfiction films in this collection not only accurately mirror the 1930s but also are eloquent works of artistic merit. "Our Daily Bread" (1934) is a landmark of socially conscious films, produced and directed by King Vidor, who made such earlier masterworks as "The Big Parade", "The Crowd", "Hallelujah!", and "The Champ". This deeply personal work was rejected by the studios, nor could Vidor obtain bank financing for a film reflecting unfavorably on banks. In the end he mortgaged his home and most of his possessions to finance "Our Daily Bread", which was released by United Artists at the insistence of its partner and Vidor's friend, Char...

What's Going on in There?: How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life by Lise Eliot, ISBN 0553378252 : As a research neuroscientist, Lise Eliot has made the study of the human brain her life's work. But it wasn't until she was pregnant with her first child that she became intrigued with the study of brain development. She wanted to know precisely how the baby's brain is formed, and when and how each sense, skill, and cognitive ability is developed. And just as important, she was interested in finding out how her role as a nurturer can affect this complex process.

Drawing upon the exploding research in this field as well as the stories of real children, What's Going On in There? is a lively and thought-provoking book that charts the brain's development from conception through the critical first five years.
