Dorothy Height’s "thought-provoking story about what it takes to enact change and embody the spirit of liberation" (Black Issues Book Review) Dorothy Height marched at civil rights rallies, sat through tense White House meetings, and witnessed every major victory in the struggle for racial equality. In her best-selling memoir, she walks us through her remarkable life of service and leadership. We witness her childhood encounters with racism and thrill at her New York college life during the Harlem Renaissance. We see her march against lynchings, sit with her onstage as Martin Luther Kin

This dissertation is about the Weil height of algebraic numbers and the Mahler measure of polynomials in one variable. We investigate connections between the normalizer of a stabilizer and lower bounds for the Weil height of algebraic numbers. In the archimedean case we extend a result of Schinzel [Sch73] and in the non-archimedean case we establish a result related to work of Amoroso and Dvornicich [Am00a]. We establish that amongst all polynomials in Z [x] whose splitting fields are contained in dihedral Galois extensions of the rationals, x3 - x - 1, attains the lowest Mahler measure dif

This classic book brings to life imperial Rome as it was during the second century A.D., the time of Trajan and Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, and Commodus. It was a period marked by lavish displays of wealth, a dazzling cultural mix, and the advent of Christianity. The splendor and squalor of the city, the spectacles, and the day’s routines are reconstructed from an immense fund of archaeological evidence and from vivid descriptions by ancient poets, satirists, letter-writers, and novelists-from Petronius to Pliny the Younger. In a new Introduction, the eminent classicist Mary Beard appraise

A fascinating story of medical experimentation, parental love, and the extreme measures taken to make children fit within “the norm.” Most people rarely think about their height beyond a little wishing and hoping. But for the parents of children who are ridiculed by their peers for being extraordinarily tall or extraordinarily short, height can cause great anguish. For decades, the medical establishment has responded to these worries by prescribing controversial treatments and therapies for children who fall outside of the “normal” height range. While some have benefited, many have suffere
