Environmental Stress and African Americans: The Other Side of the Moon
Carroll contends that race is brought to the consciousness of African Americans every day through interaction with employers, service providers, landlords, the police, and the media, and examines the stress experienced by blacks merely as a result of being African American. Micro-aggressions include experiences such as being denied service, being falsely accused, being negatively singled out on account of one's race. The author labels the stress that results from such micro-aggressions as Mundane Extreme Environmental Stress--which she says is a daily experience, has a significant impact on one's psychological well being and world view, is environmentally induced, and is detracting and energy consuming.

Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Vol. VII: Chaucerian and Other Pieces, Being a Supplement to the Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer (in Seven Volu
It is impossible to overstate the importance of English poet GEOFFREY CHAUCER (c. 1343-c. 1400) to the development of literature in the English language. His writings--which were popular during his own lifetime with the nobility as well as with the increasingly literate merchant class--marked the first celebration of the English vernacular as a tongue worthy of literary endeavor, most notably in his unfinished narrative poem The Canterbury Tales, the format and structure of which continues to be imitated by writers today. But the impact of Chaucer's work was felt even into the 16th and 17th centuries, when the first major collections of his writings set a high standard for how authors should be presented to the reading public. This widely esteemed seven-volume set--first published in the 1890s by British academic WALTER WILLIAM SKEAT (1835-1912), Erlington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Cambridge University--is based solely on Chaucer's original manuscripts and the earliest available published works (with any significant variations or deviations between versions highlighted in the extensive notes), and comes complete with Skeat's informative commentary on many passages. Volume VII features works generally appended to collections of Chaucer's work, and sometimes attributed to him, including: - Thomas Usk: "The Testament of Love" - "The Plowmans Tale" - "Jack Upland" - John Gower: "The Praise of Peace" - Thomas Hoccleve: "The Letter of Cupid" - John Lydgate: "The Complaint of the Black Knight" - Sir Richard Ros: "A Balade: Warning Men to Beware of Deceitful Women" - and more.
