Birthplace, Migration and Crime
by Ronald D. FrancisAn historical and contemporary account of migrant crime in Australia, this book explores a range of issues from mental health and victimology to immigration policy and legal analysis, arguing that it is birthplace, not race, which impacts upon crimes committed by migrants.
Birthright
by Stephen R. KellertHuman health and well-being are inextricably linked to nature; our connection to the natural world is part of our biological inheritance. In this engaging book, a pioneer in the field of biophilia--the study of human beings' inherent affinity for nature--sets forth the first full account of nature's powerful influence on the quality of our lives. Stephen Kellert asserts that our capacities to think, feel, communicate, create, and find meaning in life all depend upon our relationship to nature. And yet our increasing disconnection and alienation from the natural world reflect how seriously we have undervalued its important role in our lives.Weaving scientific findings together with personal experiences and perspectives, Kellert explores specific human tendencies--including affection, aversion, intellect, control, aesthetics, exploitation, spirituality, and communication--to discover how they are influenced by our relationship with nature. He observes that a beneficial relationship with the natural world is an instinctual inclination, but must be earned. He discusses how we can restore the balance in our relationship by means of changes in childhood development, education, conservation, building design, ethics, and everyday life. Kellert's moving book provides exactly what is needed now: a fresh understanding of how much our essential humanity relies on being a part of the natural world.
Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America (Studies in Legal History)
by Martha S. JonesBefore the Civil War, colonization schemes and black laws threatened to deport former slaves born in the United States. Birthright Citizens recovers the story of how African American activists remade national belonging through battles in legislatures, conventions, and courthouses. They faced formidable opposition, most notoriously from the US Supreme Court decision in Dred Scott. Still, Martha S. Jones explains, no single case defined their status. Former slaves studied law, secured allies, and conducted themselves like citizens, establishing their status through local, everyday claims. All along they argued that birth guaranteed their rights. With fresh archival sources and an ambitious reframing of constitutional law-making before the Civil War, Jones shows how the Fourteenth Amendment constitutionalized the birthright principle, and black Americans' aspirations were realized. Birthright Citizens tells how African American activists radically transformed the terms of citizenship for all Americans.
Birthright: Christian, Do You Know Who You Are?
by David C. NeedhamDavid Needham asks "Christian, do you know who you are?" in this remarkable and easy-to-understand rerelease of his book about the Christian's birthright. He offers fresh insight into the theological problem of Christian identity, biblically based teaching, and a challenge for personal enrichment and further Bible study. Birthright achieves an excellent balance between the theological and the practical. The author's sincerity and candid writing style are guaranteed to buoy the spirits of readers.
Birthright: The True Story that Inspired Kidnapped
by A. Roger Ekirch"Ekirch out-kidnaps Stevenson in this thrilling, thoroughly documented story." --Booklist, starred review No saga of personal hardship so captivated the British public in the eighteenth century as that of James Annesley, the presumptive heir of five aristocratic titles and scion of the mighty house of Annesley. Kidnapped at twelve years of age by his uncle and sold into indentured servitude in America, James would ultimately escape after toiling for twelve years in Delaware, returning to Ireland to bring his blood rival, the Earl of Anglesea, to justice in one of the epic trials of the century. Set against the volatile backdrop of Georgian Ireland, historian A. Roger Ekirch recounts the extraordinary family drama that inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel Kidnapped "with dash and clarity" (Kirkus Reviews).

Bis dass der Tod euch scheidet - Eine Geschichte über Glaube, Hoffnung und Liebe
by Eva Markert Jeff and Suzanne CoulterJeff und Suzanne Coulter sind seit 1987 verheiratet. Jeff Coulter wurde 1966 geboren und stammt aus Williamsburg, Ohio. Im jungen Erwachsenenalter war er ein gläubiger Christ, doch beim Tod seiner Mutter 1988 geriet er an einen Scheideweg und wandte sich von Gott ab. Am 22. April 2014 wurde Jeff bei einem Frontalzusammenstoß beinahe getötet. Entgegen aller Wahrscheinlichkeit überlebte er den Unfall, doch eine Woche später erlitt er eine mehrfache Lungenembolie. Nur einer von zwanzig übersteht ein solches traumatisches Ereignis. Jeff glitt hinein in die Leere des Nichts – die absolute Abwesenheit Gottes. In einen Abgrund, der erfüllt war von dämonischen Wesen und Symbolen der Hölle und des Todes. Wie durch ein Wunder überlebte Jeff nicht nur den Unfall und die Embolie, sondern Gott befreite ihn auch von seiner Trunksucht und seiner chronischen Depression. Während der ganzen Zeit war seine Frau Suzanne an seiner Seite, als ob dort auf Gottes Geheiß ihr Platz wäre. Sie hat ihm geholfen, seinen Weg weiterzugehen. Seitdem hat Jeff sein Leben erneut Christus geweiht. Er widmet sich kirchlichen Ämtern sowie geistlichen Aufgaben, die er im Internet wahrnimmt, und hat verschiedene Bücher verfasst.
Bis(s) ins Innere des Protons: Ein Science Slam Durch Die Welt Der Elementarteilchen, Der Beschleuniger Und Supernerds
by Boris Lemmer„Bei vielen seiner witzigen Ideen, Physik humorvoll zu erklären, war ich echt sauer. Ich dachte mir: Warum zum Teufel bin ich da nicht drauf gekommen ...“Vince Ebert, Diplomphysiker und KomikerGeben Sie's zu, wir alle fragen gerne mal: „Was ist da drin?“ – und einige, die hören mit dem Fragen einfach nicht mehr auf. Sie haken nach, bis es als Antwort nur noch gibt: „Das war’s, kleiner geht’s nicht mehr.“Da wo's klein wird, wird die Welt plötzlich ganz verrückt: Aus purer Energie werden Teilchen erzeugt. Materieteilchen bekommen Geschwister aus Antimaterie. Teilchen, die es eigentlich gar nicht geben dürfte, entstehen plötzlich aus dem Nichts. Die Natur leiht sich Energie, die eigentlich gar nicht da ist. Kräfte verhalten sich völlig anders als alles, was wir aus dem Alltag kennen. Das ist die Welt der Teilchenphysik.Teilchenphysiker bauen die größten Experimente aller Zeiten, um die kleinsten Teilchen des Universums zu untersuchen. Sie gehen an die Grenzen des technisch Machbaren und arbeiten dabei über Landesgrenzen hinweg zusammen.Wer das alles auch so spannend findet wie die Teilchenphysiker selbst, ist herzlich eingeladen, dieses Buch zu lesen. Wer glaubt, dass man davon ohne ein Studium in der Teilchenphysik nichts versteht, der auch. Quantenfeldtheorien, Teilchenbeschleuniger, Higgs-Mechanismus und Co. werden hier nämlich statt durch fiese Formeln mit Hilfe von Affen, Enten, Igeln, Bibern und anschaulichen Bildern erklärt. Okay, die fiesen Formeln gibt's auch ab und zu –aber in Kästen, für die, die's wissen wollen. Und mit Hilfe von verlinkten Videos kann man dann auch noch direkt eintauchen in die Welt des CERN, des Teilchenbeschleunigers LHC und des ATLAS Experiments. Viel Spaß dabei!

Weil er schon immer wissen wollte, woraus die Welt zusammengebaut ist, entschloss er sich zu einem Physikstudium an der Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen und promoviert zur Zeit an der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. Er arbeitet am ATLAS-Experiment, einem der beiden großen Allzweckdetektoren am weltgrößten Teilchenbeschleuniger LHC am Forschungszentrum CERN in Genf. Das Jahr 2012 verbrachte er am CERN und feierte mit seinen Kollegen unter anderem die Entdeckung des Higgs-Teilchens. Weil er seine Forschung so spannend findet, erzählt er gerne davon. Am liebsten so, dass es jeder versteht. Forschung zu vermitteln ist sein großes Hobby. Daher ist er auch ein großer Fan der Science Slams, bei denen er selbst mehrfach mitmachte und 2011 die deutsche Meisterschaft gewann.
Bisbee
by Annie Graeme LarkinVisually, the Bisbee of today remains a community frozen in time, with Main Street retaining its character from 1910. The discovery of copper deposits in the Mule Mountains brought forth a wealth that enabled a substantial community. Profitable mining ventures and a need for labor drew thousands of miners from around the world to work in Bisbee. These individuals added a distinct flavor to the area. Like countless other Western mining camps, Bisbee evolved from a rough frontier community surviving disastrous fires and floods into a town with a substantial population and solid foundation. Bisbee's seemingly inexhaustible mineral wealth resulted in the community becoming a center of economic and political power in an emerging territory on its way to statehood. It was Arizona's greatest copper camp.
Bisbee
by Ethel Jackson PriceIn the early 1900s, it was the largest city between St. Louis and San Francisco, bustling with the raw material of Wild West legends. Bisbee's infamous Brewery Gulch once supported 47 saloons and was considered the "liveliest spot between El Paso and San Francisco." By the 1970s, opportunists had relieved Bisbee's Mule Mountains of billions of pounds of copper, 102 million ounces of silver, 2.8 million ounces of gold, and millions of pounds of zinc, lead, and manganese. The ore reserves were depleted, and when the last pickaxe struck plain old dirt, a mass exodus of miners collapsed the real estate market. But the lure of cheap land was a magnet for retirees, hippies, and artists. Boarding houses were converted into charming bed and breakfasts. Antique stores, galleries, cafes, and restaurants replaced the saloons. These days, a vibrant and eclectic community of ranchers, politicians, and free spirits; a well-preserved architectural and historic heritage; and "the most perfect year-round climate" make Bisbee, the county seat, a one-of-a-kind gem.
Biscayne National Park (Images of Modern America)
by James A. Kushlan Kirsten HinesBiscayne National Park protects the larger portion of south Florida�s Biscayne Bay, a uniquely tropical lagoon harboring crocodiles, manatees, dolphins, and Caribbean fish. Tropical trees cover its islands, while the world�s fourth-longest coral reef sits offshore. Native Americans lived here thousands of years ago; the Spanish held it for 200 years. Hundreds of ships foundered on the reef, fueling a lucrative wrecking industry. In the late 1800s, hardy homesteaders created an agricultural and fishing community. In the 1920s and 1930s, it became a playground for the newly rich and famous. Bracketed by Miami and Key Biscayne to the north and Key Largo to the south, the nearby population eventually grew to over 2.5 million residents and over 14 million annual visitors. To protect these unique natural and historical resources and to assure its enjoyment by future generations, a half century ago, the federal government created Biscayne National Monument, which later became Biscayne National Park.

Biscuits

The first recipe in the book is a master recipe with step-by-step photographs showing how to make the perfect biscuit.In an evocative and enlightening introduction, Ellis delights readers with biscuit history and its intimate connections with southern culture and foodways.
