Lakeland, the historical African American community of College Park, was formed around 1890 on the doorstep of the Maryland Agricultural College, now the University of Maryland, in northern Prince George's County. Located less than 10 miles from Washington, D.C., the community began when the area was largely rural and overwhelmingly populated by European Americans. Lakeland is one of several small, African American communities along the U.S. Route 1 corridor between Washington, D.C., and Laurel, Maryland. With Lakeland's central geographic location and easy access to train and trolley transportation, it became a natural gathering place for African American social and recreational activities, and it thrived until its self-contained uniqueness was undermined by the federal government's urban renewal program and by societal change. The story of Lakeland is the tale of a community that was established and flourished in a segregated society and developed its own institutions and traditions, including the area's only high school for African Americans, built in 1928.

An innovative art program of generously sized illustrations ? each including a key concept statement and review question -- provides a consistent learning environment enabling students to make the connection between text and visual elements. A concise narrative, praised by students for its straightforward and easily comprehensible writing style, emphasizes scientific content over extraneous detail. Exhibits ?specially designed self-contained lessons -- provide students with the extra help needed to learn the numerous structures that constitute certain body systems ? most notably skeletal muscles, articulations, blood vessels and nerves. The duel themes of homeostasis and disruptions to homeostasis are effectively presented through the relevant use of in-chapter applications, end-of-chapter disorder boxes, and end-of-chapter lists of medical terminology. Continued coverage of scientific research and breakthroughs in understanding the human body keep the book on the cutting edge. Carefully integrated learning aids, such as pronunciations, word roots, summary tables, and cross-references complement the readable narrative.

The petroleum age began about 150 years ago. Easily available energy has s- ported major advances in agriculture, industry, transportation, and indeed many diverse activities valued by humans. Now world petroleum and natural gas s- plies have peaked and their supplies will slowly decline over the next 40–50 years until depleted. Although small amounts of petroleum and natural gas will remain underground, it will be energetically and economically impossible to extract. In the United States, coal supplies could be available for as long as 40–50 years, depending on how rapidly coal is utilized as a replacement for petroleum and natural gas. Having been comfortable with the security provided by fossil energy, especially petroleum and natural gas, we appear to be slow to recognize the energy crisis in the U. S. and world. Serious energy conservation and research on viable renewable - ergy technologies are needed. Several renewable energy technologies already exist, but sound research is needed to improve their effectiveness and economics. Most of the renewable energy technologies are in uenced by geographic location and face problems of intermittent energy supply and storage. Most renewable technologies require extensive land; a few researchers have even suggested that one-half of all land biomass could be harvested in order to supply the U. S. with 30% of its liquid fuel! Some optimistic investigations of renewable energy have failed to recognize that only 0. 1% of the solar energy is captured annually in the U. S.

Provides a new approach to the psychology of human development by integrating psychological and philosophical insights on human virtue and authentic selfhood. Presents Erikson's contributions within the more general 'Care Structure, ' described by Heidegger as the central structure of human existence. The major effect of this broader understanding is to give new meaning to Erikson's schedule of virtues, to see them as the central structures organizing the themes and experiences of specific stages of development.
