By The People: A History Of The United States (AP Edition)
by James W. FraserThis is a history of the many different peoples who have shaped the United States as it is today. Whenever possible, I have focused on the stories of average everyday women and men who have created this country. In a survey of U.S. History it is essential to tell the stories of the leaders--the people from George Washington to Barack Obama and also from Benjamin Franklin to Andrew Carnegie to Jane Addams--who have had been the best known leaders of their generation. At the same time I believe it is equally important to tell the story of some of those whose names have been forgotten--women and men who fought in the Revolutionary army, enslaved people who ran away or found other ways to resist and ultimately gain freedom, women who worked for decades to win the right to vote, immigrants who came to the United States in the hope of building a better life, American Indians of many different tribes who found ways to maintain their cultures in spite of formidable obstacles. These and many other people are essential to the story that is told in this book.

Women in Mexico: A Past Unveiled (Translations from Latin America)
by Julia Tuñón Pablos Alan HyndsThroughout Mexico's history, women have been subjected to a dual standard: exalted in myth, they remain subordinated in their social role by their biology. But this dualism is not so much a battle between the sexes as the product of a social system. The injustices of this system have led Mexican women to conclude that they deserve a better world, one worth struggling for.<p><p> Published originally in Spanish as Mujeres en México: Una historia olvidada, this work examines the role of Mexican women from pre-Cortés to the 1980s, addressing the interplay between myth and history and the gap between theory and practice. Pointing to such varied prototypes as the Virgin of Guadalupe, La Malinche, and Sor Juana, Tuñón contrasts what these women represent with more realistic but less-exalted counterparts such as Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, La Güera Rodríguez, and Juana Belén Gutiérrez de Mendoza. She also discusses the identity transformation by which indigenous women come to see themselves as Mexicanas, and analyzes such issues as women's economic dislocation in the labor force, education, and self-image.<p> In challenging the illusion that historians have created of women in Mexico's history, Tuñón hopes to recover feminism—with its strengths and weaknesses, its vision of the world that is both intellectual and full of feeling. By examining the social world of Mexico, she also hopes to determine those situations that cause oppression, exploitation, and marginalization of women.

Psychology And Christianity: Five Views (Second Edition) (Christian Association For Psychological Studies Books)
by Eric L. Johnson David G. Myers Stanton L. Jones Robert C. Roberts David A. Powlison P. J. Watson John H. Coe Todd W. HallHow are Christians to understand and undertake the discipline of psychology? This question has been of keen interest (and sometimes concern) to Christians because of the importance we place on a correct understanding of human nature. Psychology can sometimes seem disconnected from, if not antithetical to, Christian perspectives on life. How are we to understand our Christian beliefs about persons in relation to secular psychological beliefs? This revised edition of a widely appreciated text now presents five models for understanding the relationship between psychology and Christianity. All the essays and responses have been reworked and updated with some new contributors including the addition of a new perspective, the transformative view from John Coe and Todd Hall (Biola University).

College Algebra: Graphs and Models
by Marvin L. Bittinger Judith A. Beecher David J. Ellenbogen Judith A. Penna<p>This new review feature is designed to give each student the opportunity to be successful in this course by providing a quick review of topics from intermediate algebra that will be built upon in new college algebra topics. The review can be used in an individualized instruction format since some students will require more review than others. Treating the review in this manner will allow more time to cover the college algebra topics in the syllabus. <p>On the other hand, some instructors might choose to review some or all of the topics with the entire class at the beginning of the course or in a just-in-time format as each is needed. We think that instructors will appreciate the flexibility that the Just-in-Time feature offers. Additional resources in the MyMathLab course reflect the themes of just-in-time review and concept retention. For example, new Cumulative Review assignments allow students to synthesize and retain concepts learned throughout the course. <p>The Just-in-Time review topics within MyMathLab allow for assignable Getting Ready review quizzes that lead to personalized Getting Ready homework focused on areas in which students need additional practice. Our overarching goal is to provide students with a learning experience that will not only lead to success in this course, but also prepare them to be successful in the mathematics courses that they take in the future.</p>

Geometric and Topological Inference (Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics #57)
by Jean-Daniel Boissonnat Frédéric Chazal Mariette YvinecGeometric and topological inference deals with the retrieval of information about a geometric object using only a finite set of possibly noisy sample points. It has connections to manifold learning and provides the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of the rapidly evolving field of topological data analysis. Building on a rigorous treatment of simplicial complexes and distance functions, this self-contained book covers key aspects of the field, from data representation and combinatorial questions to manifold reconstruction and persistent homology. It can serve as a textbook for graduate students or researchers in mathematics, computer science and engineering interested in a geometric approach to data science.
