| 10 | Title: | The second machine age: work, progress, and prosperity in a time of brilliant technologies | | | | Creator: | Brynjolfsson, Erik. | McAfee, Andrew. | | | | Notes: | Includes bibliographical references and index. This book takes a look into the future of business, work, and the economy in a digital world. In recent years, computers have learned to diagnose diseases, drive cars, and win at Jeopardy!. Advances like these have created unprecedented economic bounty, but in their wake median income has stagnated and the share of the population with jobs has fallen. In this book the authors reveal the technological forces driving this reinvention of the economy and chart a path toward future prosperity. They describe how humans will have to keep pace with machines in order to become prosperous in the future and identify strategies and policies for business and individuals to use to combine digital processing power with human ingenuity. -- From book jacket. | | | | Extent: | 306 pages ; 25 cm | | | | Subjects: | Information technology -- Economic aspects | Economic development -- Technological innovations | Progress -- Social aspects | Social stratification | Economic development Technological innovations | Information technology Economic aspects | Progress Social aspects | Social stratification

| 14 | Title: | The reinvention of Atlantic slavery: technology, labor, race, and capitalism in the greater Caribbean | | | | Creator: | Rood, Daniel | | | | Notes: | Includes bibliographical references and index. "The Reinvention of Atlantic Slavery shows how, at a moment of crisis after the Age of Revolutions, ambitious planters in the Upper US South, Cuba, and Brazil forged a new set of relationships with one another to sidestep the financial dominance of Great Britain and the northeastern United States. They hired a transnational group of chemists, engineers, and other 'plantation experts' to assist them in adapting the technologies of the Industrial Revolution to suit tropical needs and maintain profitability. These experts depended on the know-how of slaves alongside whom they worked. Bondspeople with industrial craft skills played key roles in the development of new production technologies like sugar mills. While the very existence of skilled enslaved workers contradicted the racial ideologies underpinning slavery and allowed black people to wield new kinds of authority within the plantation world, their contributions reinforced the economic dynamism of the slave economies of Cuba, Brazil, and the Upper South. When separate wars broke out in all three locations in the 1860s, the transnational bloc of masters and experts took up arms to perpetuate the Greater Caribbean they had built throughout the 1840s and 1850s. Slaves played key wartime roles on the opposing side, helping put an end to chattel slavery. However, the worldwide racial division of labor that emerged from the reinvented plantation complex has proved more durable."--Provided by the publisher. | | | | Extent: | xiii, 272 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm | | | | Subjects: | Slavery -- Economic aspects -- Caribbean Area -- History | Slavery -- Economic aspects -- United States -- History | Plantations -- Economic aspects -- Caribbean Area -- History | Plantations -- Economic aspects -- United States -- History | Technology -- Economic aspects -- Caribbean Area -- History | Technology -- Economic aspects -- United States -- History | Slavery -- Caribbean Area -- History -- 19th century | Slavery -- United States -- History -- 19th century | Plantations Economic aspects | Slavery | Slavery Economic aspects | Technology Economic aspects

| 18 | Title: | Race, rigor, and selectivity in U.S. engineering: the history of an occupational color line | | | | Creator: | Slaton, Amy E., 1957- | | | | Notes: | Includes bibliographical references and index. "Despite the educational and professional advances made by minorities in recent decades, African Americans remain woefully under-represented in the fields of science. technology, mathematics, and engineering. Even at its peak, in 2000, African American representation in engineering careers reached only 5.7 percent, while blacks made up 15 percent of the U.S. population. Some forty-five years after the Civil Rights Act sought to eliminate racial differences in education and employment. what do we make of an occupational pattern that perpetually follows the lines of race?" "Race, Rigor, and Selectivity in U.S. Engineering pursues this question and its ramifications through historical case studies. Focusing on engineering programs in three settings - in Maryland, Illinois. and Texas, from the 1940s through the 1990s - Amy E. Slaton examines efforts to expand black opportunities in engineering as well as obstacles to those reforms. Her study reveals aspects of admissions criteria and curricular emphases that work against proportionate black involvement in many engineering programs. Slaton exposes the negative impact of conservative ideologies in engineering. and of specific institutional processes - ideas and practices that are as limiting for the field of engineering as they are for the goal of greater racial parity in the profession."--Jacket. | | | | Extent: | xiv, 281 pages ; 25 cm | | | | Subjects: | Engineering -- Study and teaching -- United States -- History | Discrimination in education -- United States -- History

| 19 | Title: | Teaching Shakespeare in primary schools: all the world's a stage | | | | Creator: | Kucharczyk, Stefan | Kucharczyk, Maureen | Horace Howard Furness Memorial Library (University of Pennsylvania) | Horace Howard Furness Memorial Fund | | | | Notes: | Includes bibliographical references and index. "Teaching Shakespeare in Primary Schools offers guidance and practical ideas for teaching Shakespeare's plays across Key Stage 1 and 2. It demonstrates how the plays can engage young readers in exciting, immersive and fun literacy lessons and illustrates how the powerful themes, iconic characters and rich language remain relevant today. Part 1 explores the place of classic texts in modern classrooms, how teachers can invite children to make meaning from Shakespeare's words and considers key issues such as gender and race, and embraces modern technology and digital storytelling. Part 2 presents Shakespeare's plays: The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth and The Winter's Tale. For each play there is a suggested sequence of activities that will guide teachers through the process of inspiring children, incubating ideas and making connections all before responding to it through drama, writing and other subjects. You don't need to be an actor, a scholar or even an extrovert to get the best out of Shakespeare! Written by experienced teachers, this book is an essential resource for teachers of all levels of experience who want to teach creative, engaging, and memorable lessons"-- | | | | Extent: | 144 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm | | | | Subjects: | Shakespeare, William, -- 1564-1616 -- Study and teaching (Primary) | Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 | Education, Primary | Instructional and educational works | Instructional and educational works
