Conflict and Accommodation focuses on the political behavior of the 600,000 men in the coal and steel industries, to reveal a fascinating correlation between labor-management conflict and the fortunes of American socialism. Nash presents data from election returns, newspapers, union journals, government reports, and taped interviews with retired coal miners to support the view that the alternation of conflict and accommodation, characteristic of American labor history, has broad political implications.

"A well-researched and practical guide to understanding the physical health needs of people diagnosed with mental illness. The book's major strength is distilling the practical steps that nurses can take to improve their practice in this area. It is written in an engaging style, and covers topics central to improving mental health service users' physical health and well being." Dr Patrick Callaghan, Professor of Mental Health Nursing and Chartered Health Psychologist, University of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, UK
 "This is a well set out book which goes into a good amount of detail about physical health without overwhelming the reader with information. Each chapter takes you through simple, yet thought-provoking, exercises and then follows these up with further answers or guidelines finishing with a small quiz to test what you have learnt ... It provides a basic overview of the subject without losing the reader in the complexities of physical health. Reading the book I felt more confident in the subjects covered and felt I would be able to tackle the assessment and care of the physical health of my patients in a much more proficient way."

Islam among Urban Blacks: Muslims in Newark, New Jersey: A Social History

Islam among Urban Blacks examines the evolution of Muslim community development in our nation's third oldest city, Newark, New Jersey. It is an historical account of the efforts of a diverse community that over several decades grappled with the challenge of establishing a respected place for their Islamic lifestyle within the United States of America. Further, it is a story linked closely to the experience of African Americans who have claimed Islam as their religion and struggled to create and to maintain an identity in the social fabric of Newark's twentieth-century Black religious culture. Few historians have acknowledged that Newark's Muslim community contributed to the enrichment of the city's urban culture. However, the community was also impacted by the industrial Newark of the early twentieth-century and the promise of American freedom just as other ethnic and religious communities in the area. The complexities of race, identity, inter-religious and intra-religious relations are the four central themes explored within this scholarly work.

When it comes to big data processing, we can no longer ignore concurrency or try to add it in after the fact. Fortunately, the solution is not a new paradigm of development, but rather an old one. With this hands-on guide, Java and Scala developers will learn how to embrace concurrent and distributed applications with the open source Akka toolkit. You’ll learn how to put the actor model and its associated patterns to immediate and practical use.
Throughout the book, you’ll deal with an analogous workforce problem: how to schedule a group of people across a variety of projects while optimizing their time and skillsets. This example will help you understand how Akka uses actors, streams, and other tools to stitch your application together.
<ul>
<li>Model software that reflects the real world with domain-driven design</li>
<li>Learn principles and practices for implementing individual actors</li>
<li>Unlock the real potential of Akka with patterns for combining multiple actors</li>
<li>Understand the consistency tradeoffs in a distributed system</li>
<li>Use several Akka methods for isolating and dealing with failures</li>
<li>Explore ways to build systems that support availability and scalability</li>
<li>Tune your Akka application for performance with JVM tools and dispatchers</li>
</ul>
