Florida Almanac 2012

Bernie McGovern

Beschreibung

This complete reference book includes everything that anyone would want to know about the Sunshine State. Florida natives, visitors, and new residents will discover the extensive and accurate knowledge it provides. From basic history and tourist information to obscure facts, such as the size of the largest squash grown, this book has it all. After reading the list of derivatives for the name of each Florida county, the Lake City Reporter called a previous edition of this book “indispensable” and described it as containing “just about everything you ever wanted to know about Florida—and a good deal of information you probably never really thought about.” The almanac works as a combination atlas, directory, tourist guide, reference manual, and history book—all in one. In addition to listings of national memorials, monuments, and landmarks, this volume contains road maps of each county, charts of rivers and waterways, and facts about Florida’s geography and climate. For those who are visiting the state, there are sections on major attractions, annual festivals, state parks, and lodging as well as regulations for boating, fishing, and hunting. The chapters on education, crime, residency, taxes, and utilities will be invaluable to people who are considering moving to Florida. Anyone interested in the history and settlement of the Sunshine State will appreciate the facts about Native American cultures and the chronology of major events in Florida’s past. This new and improved edition contains updated statistics on all the topics found in the past annuals, plus a new hurricane survival guide. Facts are easy to locate, with all of the subjects covered listed in a table of contents and in a detailed index.

Survival Guide - Filter and Find...

Jordan Gunner

The following topics are included in this 2-book combo:
Book 1: This book covers a range of topics that don’t seem to be related at first, but if you look closer, you’ll see the bigger picture. All of these topics are more or less connected to the idea of fending for yourself, being able to survive off the grid, or in case of a major disaster.
The first chapter focuses on something specific: Survival in the jungle. As we all know, the jungle is beautiful but also infested with bacteria, bugs, venomous and predatorial animals, and full of both toxic and edible plants. Learning what to do there can make all the difference if you were ever to make it through in such a climate.
After this, the book highlights what to do in case of a hurricane or an earthquake, two disasters that could very well happen in many people’s areas.
Third, we will talk about food preservation, since this is one of the most important and basic survival skills everyone should have.
Book 2: In this short but informative book, we will focus on three essentials of survival skills:
First, we’ll talk about the best ways to purify water. This, alone, is something all people need to know. Water can make you sick or heal you and keep you alive. Knowing what you’re doing, is what will help you most.
Second, the book focuses on First Aid skills. If you ever get wounded, exhausted, dehydrated, or you encounter something like a sprained ankle or major bruise, what do you do? You rely on your knowledge and fix it! Learn how in this book!
Third, an emphasis is placed on finding water in the desert. Many misconceptions about this have been circling around on the internet. It is our mission to help you learn the truth: What works and what doesn’t.
Seek knowledge and you will survive!

Calculating Race - Racial...

Benjamin Wiggins

In Calculating Race, Benjamin Wiggins analyzes the historical relationship between statistical risk assessment and race in the United States. He illustrates how actuarial science transformed the nature of racism and helped usher racial disparities in wealth, incarceration, and housing from the nineteenth century into the twentieth.Wiggins begins by tracing how the life insurance industry utilized race in its calculations at the end of the nineteenth century, focusing particularly on Prudential and its aggressive battles with state regulators to discriminate against clients and adjust rates on the basis of race. He then turns his focus to the collection of racial statistics in the Illinois state penitentiary system in the late nineteenth century and the state's subsequent development of predictive sentencing and parole formulas in the 1920s that weighed race as a key factor.Next, he investigates the role of race in the state-sponsored mortgage insurance program of the Federal Housing Administration between the start of the New Deal and the beginning of the Cold War and its prolonged effects on mortgage lending. Wiggins concludes with an analysis of the use of race in the statistical risk assessments across financial institutions and government programs during the post–civil rights movement era.
