Product Description
The history of the American twentieth century is largely one of race relations. As the twentieth century unfolded, racial tensions between major racial and ethnic groups often exploded. From the backlash against Eastern and Southern European immigration in the early part of the century to the Civil Rights movement and race riots of the 1960s to the backlash against Latino immigration at the century's end, understanding race relations is central to meeting curricular U.S. history standards. The five-volume Race Relations in the United States in the Twentieth Century set incomparably encapsulates the explosive century, with a desirable decade-by-decade overall organization especially tailored for student assignments. The set provides comprehensive reference coverage of the key events, influential voices, race relations by group, legislation, media influences, cultural output, and theories of inter-group interactions that have been evident in the last century and related to race. Each volume, written by an historian, covers two decades. The set format includes this coverage per decade: Timeline, Overview, Key Events, Voices of the Decade, Race Relations by Group, Law and Government, Media and Mass Communications, Cultural Scene, Influential Theories and Views of Race Relations, Resource Guide, allowing comparison of topics through the century. The bulk of the coverage is topical essays, written in a clear, encyclopedic style. Each volume contains a selected bibliography and index. Historical photos complement the text. Volumes include: BLRace Relations in the United States, 1900-1920 BLRace Relations in the United States, 1920-1940 BLRace Relations in the United States, 1940-1960 BLRace Relations in the United States, 1960-1980 BLRace Relations in the United States, 1980-2000. ...

As questions of citizenship generate new debates for this generation of Americans, Thomas argues for revitalizing the role of literature in civic education. He considers 4 case studies in which individuals are presented in literature as "the good citizen," "the patriotic citizen," "the independent citizen," and "the immigrant citizen." He also provides analysis of the civic mythology surrounding Abraham Lincoln and the case of Ex parte Milligan. Engaging current debates about civil society, civil liberties, civil rights, and immigration, Thomas draws on the complexities of law and literature to probe the complexities of U.S. citizenship. ...

Excerpt: World War II: Lieutenant General Sir Leslie James Morshead KCB, KBE, CMG, DSO, ED (18 September 1889 26 September 1959) was an Australian soldier with a distinguished career in both world wars. He is considered to rival John Monash for the appellation of "Australia's greatest general". He commanded the Australian troops at the Siege of Tobruk and Second Battle of El Alamein where Australian troops inflicted crushing defeats on the German Afrika Korps. During World War II, Morshead was known to his soldiers, in part affectionately, as "Ming the Merciless", after the villain in Flash Gordon comics. Morshead was born on 18 September 1889 in Ballarat, Victoria, the sixth of seven children of William Morshead, a gold miner, and his wife Mary Eliza Morshead, formerly Rennison. He was educated at Mount Pleasant High School and the Melbourne Teachers Training College, from which he graduated in 1910. He became a schoolteacher, teaching first at Tragowell i...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=206165 ... Read more

Mad Dog (Hooked on Phonics, Book 20)
ISBN 1887942416 - All right, I'll admit it. The dog standing on top of the cat on the cover is what made me want to read to this one. I love dogs, I love cats, but books that make me laugh trump them both and don't shed.

Mad Dog is a bad dog, who gets into everything. No one wants anything to do with him until he changes his ways.

The rhyming text is ok, but I have to admit it's starting to grate on my nerves that at least half of all books for kids are in rhyme. One thing that might be a plus for some - the story is by Marjorie Adams, who is identified inside the back cover as a second grader; her story will keep them reading. Author Leslie McGuire does a good job with simple, easy to read text but illustrator Steve Haefele makes this book. The images are laugh-out-loud funny, bright and colorful and suited to the whimsical story. Few books for First Graders have ever appealed to me quite so much.
