In fact, she is one of the great leaders of all time. This is clear instantly to anyone who reads her story, told calmly and clearly,absent any self-aggrandizement or ego. Her role was that of countless women organizers such as Rosa Parks in Birmingham and Fannie Lou Hamer in Mississippi, almost the only female leaders' names we have from that Movement, and the barely-known student leader Anne Moody (whose moving autobiography, "Coming of Age in Mississippi" is another powerful document of that time) who actually risked their lives every day to do the monumentally hard,thankless,daily organizing work that persuaded Black people one by one throughout the South to risk their livelihoods, their housing and credit for basic food supplies at the local white landowner's grocery store, and their very lives, to come to a meeting, or register to vote, or take any first step to be involved in overthrowing America's apartheid regime, known as "Jim Crow" in areas where to join the NAACP meant being lynched. She matter-of-factly shows it to be a role largely unrewarded, unnoticed by the mass media, and never credited at all. Moreover, she had to fight every day, every week, every month, not to be thrown out of regular SCLC meetings by Dr. Ralph Abernathy, who resented her leadership status apparently for no other reason than that she was a woman, and enormously effective. Dr. King, in defending her place at the meeting, clearly knew he would have no crowds to march in front of at all were it not for women like Septima Clark.

I really enjoyed this book and felt like it dealt well with some real feelings children might have about moving. I liked how the parents handled their childs way of dealing with his problems.

This must have book for anyone who loves strawberries. The book features delicious recipes including breakfasts, main courses, salads, desserts, frozen desserts, beverages, and jellies all made with strawberries. There are two sections filled with over 30 full-color photos of some of the recipes. Thankfully, the recipes use common ingredients and are fairly easy to make.

It's really hard to choose a favorite recipe. I love the breakfast puff, coffee cake and pizza (a pastry crust topped with strawberries and jelly and served chilled). The chicken fillet with strawberry peppercorn cream sauce and strawberry avocado salad mold are also divine. You must try jubilee, meringue, angel cake, and frozen white chocolate mousse cake with strawberries.

With over 120 decadent strawberry recipes, I promise you will never get bored.

This is such a cute (not to mention funny!) play. It captures all of the Peanuts characters well and is also very much fun to perform.

We are attempting to use this methodology for planning and review of onboard Aerospace Software, will give an update when we have actually used it in anger!

The latest revision of the well known COCOMO constructive cost model is calibrated with a Bayesian approach that balances 161 industry reference points with the determination of software development experts. Software engineers use the COCOMO model to make financial decisions, set project budgets and schedules, negotiate tradeoffs, plan to maintain or upgrade legacy products, and decide where to implement process improvement. The model equations are provided including normative calibration using 5 scale factors and 17post-architecture effort multipliers. The criteria described for assessing your project for scale factors and effort multipliers are fuzzy in some cases (Default to the nominal level when in doubt). The model can accept estimates of either logical lines of code or function points as the primary input parameter. The book is accompanied with a CD that contains the USC implementation of the COCOMO model and some instructional videos. The final 2/3 of the text covers emerging extensions such as object point data, application point data, phase schedule and effort model (COPSEMO), dynamic COCOMO, RAD schedule estimation model (CORADMO), commercial-off-the-shelf integration model (COCOTS), quality estimation (COQUALMO), and productivity estimation (COPROMO). Read "Software Engineering Economics" published in 1981 for additional background information on the COCOMO model.

This is great guidence for the people who involved in software cost estimation to deal with the current software engineering issues. It definitely helps to estimate the project's schedule and effort using COCOMO II (Implementation of the model).

The book takes a completely different view of our nation's history from the late 1800's through the late 19000's than the average history text book most of us read in high school. Side bars and tid bits add anecdotal highlights to the information covered in that section or chapter which keep it relevant and interesting. It was very refreshing to see things from the bottom up. i.e. What was happening with this or that wave of immigration that caused the City's and Urban areas to change in this way, that caused the political and religious environment to change in that way, that caused this person to be elected, that caused this law to be passed, that caused this backlash, that led to this conflict, that led to this resolution. Instead of - this war was faught and this official was elected and this country won. It is biased towards labor and labor's role in building this country, so if you want traditional conservative history, this isn't the book for you. But if you like to read some of the stuff they don't tell you in high-school history 101, this is it. I'll never look at labor disputes or the immigration question the same way again. I came away from the book with a greater understanding and retained more of how we got to the 21st century in America from the 19th century.

When I saw this book, I bought it straightaway, because labor history gets short-shrift in American society. I'm sorry to see it's out-of-stock, but am unsurprised.

While this book is fairly mainstream in its orientation, it is very readable and thorough, covering the struggle of working people through the late 1800s to the early 1990s.

I consider this book a good starting point for people interested in working people's history. What makes it especially rich is the narrative flow and personal stories that appear throughout it, and the sidebars with songs and other miscellaneous information. This is the way a history book should be written.

Who Built America? Is an excellent look at US history in the 20th century from the foundation up. The authors provide relevant and insightful information about immigration, the working class, unions, and the political and military events that shaped our country. The events are thoroughly discussed in terms of cause and effect, and followed through with anecdotal side bars and highilights. Because the text follows a contextual historical line, the information is readily understood and retained. Who Built America? was used as the assigned text in a US History class I took. While I read it willingly as assigned in the class, it is a book I have returned to on numerous occasions since. I highly recommend Who Built America? for everyone and anyone who would like to know not just who was elected when, and what wars were fought with whom, but why and how it effects every one of us.

It is neat to have the original script to this knockout musical. It is set up like the "Peanuts" comic books. Nostalgic to say the least!

This is NOT the score, it is the vocal selections!!

"You're a good man Charlie Brown...is one of the worlds best musicals! I love the theater and this is by far one of the best musicals I've ever seen. If you like musicals like I do get the CD or see the cartoon of the musical. For more information E-Mail me at SMF Broadway@aol.com.

The third installment of TRMGS is a welcome addition to the canon of literature for the role-playing game Space:1889. Although some of the material is re-printed from the old GDW magazine Challenge, the bulk of this title is new, fresh information. The quality of this volume stands up well with the previous two volumes, and it is clear that the publisher (Heliograph, Inc.) is starting to better understand DTP layout and the limitations and/or strengths of their printer, Lightning Print, Inc.

The only quibble that keeps me from rating this volume with 5 stars, is the interior artwork. Bob Brown's drawings are a welcome addition but do not (in this reviewer's opinion) stand up well against the vintage victorian artwork (clipart) in this volume or against the art originally produced for Space: 1889 and associated articles in GDW's Challenge magazine.

That quibble coupled with an over-abundance of advertising for other Heliograph projects, serve as annoying distractions to an otherwise excellent volume. That all said, I am looking forward to volume #4.

Interesting that Mr.Pinnock likes dialogs with such aberrant groups like Processists and Liberals. Perhaps they expand his horizons in theological construction and creative doctrinology.

The fruits of such dialogs are apparent in his books like 'Most Moved Mover' (very borderline mormonistic, bi-polar processist);
'Searching for an Adequate God'-a dialog between Openist and Process theories; and this volume, which just goes to show the genuine Evangelical reader how far Mr. Pinnock has departed from Historic Biblical Christianity in his formulations of bizarre, heterodox, aberrant, post-modernist pseudo-didactics.

The reader can only conclude that Mr. Pinnock has no 'openness' for dialogs with Evangelicals. He can only receive new, novel, ground-breaking, cutting edge stimulation from outside the Historic Christian faith. His trajectory would be more accurately characterized as 'Devangelical'.

In his attempt to traverse a crosswalk into frontier territory to find the crossfire, he only stumbles into the crosshairs of anti-evangelical crossbows and the uncharted no-man's land of crosswinds and cross purposes, leaving the Biblical Cross behind
