Encompassing Pulitzer Prize winners Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Rita Dove, national icons Maya Angelou and Nikki African Giovanni, and prominent cult figures Zora Neale Hurston and Octavia Butler, African American women's literature is the one of the fastest growing areas of American literature today. This is the first comprehensive anthology of African American women's literature. This is the only book that covers all historical periods, from the 18th century up through the early years of the 21st century; and all genres: from poems, essays, journal entries, and short stories to novels and black feminist criticism. An exciting and interested reader for anyone who wants a comprehensive package of African-American women's writings.

Midwives, women healers and root workers have been central figures in the African American folk traditions. Particularly in Black communities in the rural south, these women served vital social, cultural and political functions. It was believed that they possessed magical powers: they negotiated the barrier between life and death and were often regarded as the "knower" in a community. Today even as medical science has discredited or superseded their power, granny midwives have resurfaced as pivotal characters in the narratives of contemporary African American literature.  Granny Midwives and Black Women Writers examines the lives of real granny midwives and other healers--through oral narratives, ethnographic research and documentation--and considers them in tandem with their fictional counterparts in the work of Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, Alice Walker and others.

Catching a snake in the dorm, being a mother to fifty girls, bartering in the marketplace, handing out food to villagers during the drought, being "bit" by a cheetah, coping with homesickness, and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro were just some of the adventures and challenges Valerie faced as a student missionary at Maxwell Adventist Academy in Kenya. What Valerie didn't expect during her year abroad was how much she fell in love with her adopted country and how difficult it was to adjust to life once she came back to the States. It's Worth the Sacrifice chronicles her student missionary (SM) experience and offers advice to those interested in going overseas. Valerie hopes that what she learned will help other SMs while serving and during re-entry.

In 1985 Leonard Lake and Charles Chi-tat Ng were suspected of killing over a dozen people. All this only came to light after both of them were caught for shoplifting in South San Francisco and Lake, rather than face being imprisoned, committed suicide. Charles Ng fled to Canada to avoid getting arrested and became a fugitive. After this happened, Ng was instantly labeled as the son from Hell, a sadistic monster, a killing machine and a cold-blooded killer who microwaved a baby. A six-year legal battle between Canada and the United States ended in September 1991 with Ng’s extradition to California to face trial on 12 murder charges. Incarcerated in Canada, Ng educated himself about American laws so that he was able to manipulate the legal system to delay his trial, which finally began in October, 1998. Millions of taxpayer dollars were spent bringing Ng to justice. In July, 1999 Charles Chi-Tat Ng was convicted of murdering eleven people (six men, three women, and two babies) in one of California’s most gruesome, terrifying, torture killing sprees. Conducting a series of interviews inside the walls of California State Prison at Folsom while Charles Ng awaited trial, and later at San Quentin Prison Valerie Lee asked the questions that everyone wanted to ask and heard the answers that Ng gave or evaded.

The purpose of this deskbook is to provide a survey of the law and techniques associated with the common body of law, science, and economics constituting natural resource damage assessment. The frameworks for liability and the goals under the federal statutes providing a right of action for natural resource damages are substantially the same. The law and technical approaches for natural resource damage assessment under one statute tend to build the base for assessment under other statutes. Thus, natural resource damage assessment is best undertaken with an understanding of legal developments under all the federal natural resource damage statutes and the technical approaches used for assessment. The body of the deskbook presents both analysis of law and practical information about the elements of natural resource damage assessment and technical approaches used. The deskbook is written with both environmental managers and lawyers in mind.
