Sinossi

Highway Creation examines the transformative impact of the Interstate Highway System on American society and its economy. This book explores how the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 spurred unprecedented mobility and economic development. It reveals that prior to this system, a fragmented network of poorly maintained roads hindered both interstate commerce and personal travel, underscoring the vital role of infrastructure in shaping a nation's trajectory.

 
The book delves into the historical context, economic transformations, and social consequences of highway creation, illustrating how this massive undertaking reshaped urban planning, spurred suburbanization, and influenced commuting patterns. It emphasizes that the Interstate Highway System was more than just a construction project; it acted as a catalyst for economic growth and societal change.

 
Each chapter builds upon the last, beginning with the political climate leading to the 1956 Act, then moving to the economic impacts, and finally assessing the long-term social consequences. Highway Creation offers a comprehensive understanding of a pivotal moment in American history by integrating economic data, historical records, and case studies. By connecting to fields such as urban planning and political science, the book provides valuable insights for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in the forces that have shaped modern America, addressing the lasting legacy of the Interstate Highway System and its relevance to modern transportation needs.

Black Women Ivory Tower -...

Jasmine L. Harris

Black women are heading to college in record numbers, and more and more Black women are teaching in higher education. But these statistics don’t guarantee our safety there.  
 
Willpower and grit may improve achievement for Black people in school, but they don’t secure our belonging. In fact, the very structure of higher education ensures that we’re treated as guests, outsiders to the institutional family—outnumbered and unwelcome. 
 
In this compelling exploration of what it means to be a Black woman pursuing higher education, Dr. Jasmine L. Harris moves beyond the “data points” to examine the day-to-day impacts of racism in education on Black women as individuals, the longer-term consequences to our personal and professional lives, and the generational costs to our entire families. 
 
“I want to arm as many Black girls and women as I can with the knowledge about these spaces that I lacked,” says Dr. Harris. “By laying bare my own traumas, and those of Black women before me, I am providing them the tools to protect themselves, with an understanding of how deliberately many institutions will try to undercut them.” 
 
Trial and error have been required of Black students to navigate systems of discrimination and disadvantage. But this book now offers useful support, illuminating the community of Black women dealing with similar issues. The author’s story is not unusual, nor are her interactions anomalies. Black Women, Ivory Tower explores why.

This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Dutch.
In Unit 1 you will hear Dutch decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said.
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Dutch speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Dutch. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Dutch at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Dutch, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
