David B.Smith provides the detailed history of how the goal of equity in health care provision remains unfulfilled to this day. He analyzes the historic crucial time periods when decisions were made and practices established. He describes the mechanisms leading to different health care for white and black and for rich and poor. He documents the economic and the ethnic prejudicial bases for this abridgement of civil rights. This book is a must for all concerned about American justice.

Wonderful job Kathleen! Great information for potential patients.

"Heart's Home" opens with Scotty Tockterman proposing to Tracey Gordon, the director of the Gold Rush Museum. Even though they have known each other only two months, she says yes. A few minutes later, Scotty jumps in the water to aid a woman with two children whose car plunges off the levee. Although the three accident victims survive, Scotty isn't seen again. Two weeks later, when a Coast Guard pilot shows up at her door, Tracey discovers Scotty isn't the person she knew; he isn't even Scotty.

Tracey Gordon has two mysteries to solve; who was the man she was going to marry and why did he want to marry her? She also needs to find out if the man claiming to be Steve Tockterman is who he says he is. All of this is complicated by her attraction to the real Steve Tockterman who insists on helping her find out who has been impersonating him and why. The impersonator knew too much about him to be a total stranger...he had known his nickname "Scotty" from high school even though his real name was Steven Clay Tockterman. He knew that the Tockterman family had a great deal of money and much more. Slowly, the two of them are able to put the pieces together and along the way, fall in love.

The author, Eloise Barton, weaves a tale of money, friends, intrigue, deceit, and love which you will have fun following. She is very adept at creating characters who are real and whom you will want to get to know better. "Heart's Home" is a well-written story by an obviously talented writer. You are guaranteed to laugh with Tracey and Steve as they solve the mystery of Scotty and more.

Freeman Barton is a well-trained biblical and historical scholar who nevertheless can write clearly and simply for non-scholars. This book is one of the best introductions available to the subject known as "conditional immortality." From the Middle Ages onward, the doctrine of the unconditional immortality of the human spirit developed and became the prominent view in most Christian denominations. By this doctrine, everybody has eternal life -- most people have an agonizing one in hell forever, while some have a blissful one in heaven forever. However, many scholars have shown that the evidence from the Bible favors the view that the human spirit is not automatically eternal, but has to be granted eternal life by God. Barton examines in rather ample detail (for so compact a book) the evidence for both automatic immortality and conditional immortality, and in the process teaches the reader a great deal about the whole afterlife perspective of the Bible. I think he succeeds admirably in his task, and this book is timely and interesting reading.

Barton has great colorful drawings in his childrens books and this one was my daughter's favorites. A little girl alligator goes trick or treating and meets some very strange neighbors. She has a great adventure with her new friends, many of whom look familiar to us grownups.

Just another great story by Wayne Barton & Stan Williams, a marshall on the trail of the killers of his partner gets involved in the makings of a range war between two ranchers instigated by the bad guys, read this one carefully to see if you can figure out who the other bad guy is, it had me stumped as I couldn't wait to find out and really hated to finish the book, one of the best that I have read in a long time.

A History of Education Book 11 is an excellent read. It throws out the window all the myths that are out there about deficiency in academic prowess with respective to the black race.

A FACINATING JOURNEY, A THRILL BEYOND COMPREHENSION, A BOOK THAT BRINGS TO LIGHT TRUTH THAT HELPS FURTHER UNDERSTANDING AND BREAKS MISCONCEPTIONS, AN ADVENTURE TO BEHOLD...I have not read a book a powerful as "A History of Racism and Terrorism, Rebellion and Overcoming. The surprise of this fantastic work was that the book begins by explaining who actuall invented racism, and to my shocking surprise, it was not the Europeans of the last five hundred years, but a people and nation who have had the most putrid form of racism and discrimination on earth since the period of about 1500 BC. This form of racism is the root of color, class, caste and some ethnic racism found today. Yet, the early inventors of this racism corrupted an already established social order and religion and used the idea of skin color stratification to create a form of racism that would benefit them economically.The book discusses how the Bible and other ancient religious texts were used to invent and justify racism after one group of people who invaded Egypt were driven out of power and placed in captivity by the native Egyptians who had themselves suffered brutality and racist treatment. Yet, in that culture and civilization, the powerbrokers who were the High Priests, curtailed and controled the power of the foreign kings, thus keeping any ideologies foreign to Egypt from permeating the minds of the inhabitants.The enslavement and degradation of the Hebrews in Egypt led to the religious myths and writings of the Hebrews that degraded and created the type of sanctified racism that exists today in many religions. Biblical stories such as "The Curse of Canaan," (who is the ancestors of some of the present peoples of the Mediterranean and Southern Europe) was turned to "The Curse of Ham," who was supposed to be the "father" of the Black race. The myth that Ham was "cursed" led to the justification for the enslavement of Blacks/Africans around the world and the corruption of religion up to the King James translation of the Bible, as the book, "A History of Racism and Terrorism, Rebellion and Overcoming," clearly explains.Racism was not as putrid during the Greek and Roman Periods of domination, according to the writer of this book and references that were checked. In fact, the Greeks dispised the blonde-haired/red-haired Celtics and other Europeans and saw them as backward and uncivilized, while they praised and saw the Ethiopians (a term used for all Africans) and Egyptians as the founders of civilizations as well as part of the many Black nations of Southern Lands, as well as regions like India.The first establishment of racism occurred during the time of Shakespeare (which my countrymen here in England don't like hearing about), but the fact is works like "Othello" contributed to the negative feelings against the descendants of Black Moors who had lived in England for some time as well as Blacks in general. This idea of Black degredation spread to the Americas during slavery and led to some of the most brutal treatment and degrading of humans on earth over a period of five hundred years. Yet, out of this came some of them most effective military tactics, especially guerilla warfare used by slaves and the idea of scorched-earth warfare used against plantation owners and during the Haitian Revolution.The stupidity of racism and the reason for its promotion is shown in the way the English aristocracy classified the Irish as being "nonwhite," in order to exploit them. Hence, racism is seen as a system of exploitation for economic benefit with the schemes, tricks and enforcements needed to keep the victims from rising out of their conditions.The legacy of racism today continues as the book explains and shows to be the fact. The book describes the new tools of racism being used to corrupt, divide and cause confusion among all people in America today. The crucial point made is that racism is very costly and those who sit silently by and tolerate it because they are benefiting from it, they are going to be the ones who will loose the most when racism is found to be a detriment to all humanity.For centuries, many Europeans have felt the guilt of being associated with those who participated and contributed to European slavery, racism and present racism and discrimination, however, after reading this book, many have come to realize that slavery, racism, discrimination and other forms of degredation of humans destroys the humanity of the oppressor and the oppressed both and that an old system of degredation of Europeans (such as the Irish) was taken from Europe and spread around the world over the past 500 years. Yet, while racism was absent or very insignificant in Early Europe, it was the most vile form of existence for a large number of people in a certain nation and region on planet Earth for thousands of years.This book "A History or Racism and Terrorism, Rebellion and Overcoming," pub. by Xlibris.com enlightens and it is recommened for all who are interested in knowing the facts and the truth as well as enjoying a strong and powerful book.The resistence to slavery and racism by Blacks all over the Americas, the development of their own institutions, the continuation of legacies of religion, creativity, craftsmanship, culture, cooking, language and other forms of culture brough from Africa and beaten out of some slaves, continue to survive. In fact the book shows that while Christian missionaries have done the most they could to remove Africa's spiritual base and prodded Africans to believe in religions that encouraged slavery and racism, many Africans in the Americas preserved their ancient religions that taught them that they were to fight and resist all evil, especially slavery and racism. Thus, when the founder of the Haitian Revolution, Boukman dedicated the Haitian Revolution to a Vadu God, he was carrying out a tradition that Christianity had not broken. Finally, the book explains that the more racism and discrimination against Blacks increase, the deeper into the ancient African culture and modern sense of Black nationalism and push to uplift that occurs.

As one of Dr. Palmer's students at Georgia State University, I found him to be an excellent professor, one who is proficient not only in film but also in literature and classical studies. His insights to this very-American genre is, at least, obtainable and useful. His instruction, as well as his writing, is readable and his insights are easily applied to the study of nott only film noir, but any other discipline of film studies. By breaking down a few select examples from the film noir genre (Murder, My Sweet, Taxi Driver, Double Indemnity, Vertigo, etc.) he traces several key characteristics of the typical film noir, like issues of character, plot, theme, sexuality, and feminism. To be frank, I do not have to book in front of me so I can not quickly review it fully and wholly, complete with specific quoted passages to back up my recommendation. It is an affordable book so please trust me. This is an indispensable book for the film noir student
