  Climate change. Two words that are quickly becoming the clarion call to action in the twenty-first century. It is a voter issue, an economy driver, and a defining dynamic for the foreseeable future. Yet, in Black communities, climate change is seen as less urgent when compared to other pressing issues, including police brutality, gun violence, job security, food insecurity, and the blatant racism faced daily around the country. 
   
   
   
  However, with Black Americans disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change—making up 13 percent of the US population but breathing 40 percent dirtier air and being twice as likely to be hospitalized or die from climate-related health problems than white counterparts—climate change is a central issue of racial justice and affects every aspect of life for Black communities. 
   
   
   
  In Before the Streetlights Come On, climate activist Heather McTeer Toney insists that those most affected by climate change are best suited to lead the movement for climate justice. McTeer Toney brings her background in politics, community advocacy, and leadership in environmental justice to this revolutionary exploration of why and how Black Americans are uniquely qualified to lead national and global conversations around systems of racial disparity and solutions to the climate crisis.

  An analysis of the efforts of American nurses to establish nursing as an academic discipline and nurses as valued researchers in the decades after World War II. 
   
  Nurses represent the largest segment of the U.S. health care workforce and spend significantly more time with patients than any other member of the health care team. Dr. Nurse probes their history to examine major changes that have taken place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth century. The book reveals how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II. 
   
  Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to construct a science of nursing—distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences—that would provide the basis for nursing practice. Their efforts transformed nursing’s labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and proved how the application of their knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing’s future, Dr. Nurse highlights how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery.

  Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) is a vital component of modern healthcare, providing crucial diagnostic information to aid in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. It encompasses a broad range of laboratory tests and analyses that are performed on patient samples to provide data essential for clinical decision-making. As healthcare continues to evolve, the role of medical laboratory scientists becomes increasingly significant, and understanding the field is essential for those entering the profession. 
  The history of medical laboratory science dates back to the late 19th century, when advancements in microbiology, chemistry, and hematology laid the foundation for laboratory testing. Early laboratory pioneers such as Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch revolutionized the understanding of infectious diseases, while the development of diagnostic tools allowed for the detection of bacteria and other pathogens in clinical samples. As science and technology advanced throughout the 20th century, laboratory science grew to encompass an even broader range of tests, including blood analyses, genetics, and molecular diagnostics. 
  The role of the medical laboratory scientist is multifaceted. These professionals work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, research institutions, and public health laboratories. They are responsible for performing laboratory tests, analyzing results, maintaining laboratory equipment, and ensuring the accuracy and precision of test outcomes. In addition, medical laboratory scientists play a critical role in monitoring the quality of laboratory processes and adhering to safety and regulatory standards. They also collaborate with physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to ensure that test results are properly interpreted and applied to patient care.

  The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
   
   
    
  Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
   
   
    
  Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.
