The Black Geographic explores the theoretical innovations of Black Geographies scholarship and how it approaches Blackness as historically and spatially situated. In studies that span from Oakland to the Alabama Black Belt to Senegal to Brazil, the contributors draw on ethnography, archival records, digital humanities, literary criticism, and art to show how understanding the spatial dimensions of Black life contributes to a broader understanding of race and space. They examine key sites of inquiry: Black spatial imaginaries, resistance to racial violence, the geographies of racial capitalism, and struggles over urban space. Throughout, the contributors demonstrate that Blackness is itself a situating and place-making force, even as it is shaped by spatial processes and diasporic routes.

Mentoring is important in the socialization and support of new employees. My research agenda focuses on exploring mentoring experiences, and how these experiences shape and inform the leadership practices of school leaders. This handbook offers an international view of mentoring and will aid scholars in their exploration of mentoring paradigms, practices, programs, and possibilities.

An excellent book with life lessons for the workplace

This book breaks down complex topics in regional, urban economics and economic development in to simple easy-to-understand concepts, particularly on location analysis, regional growth models, urban economics and land use patterns. I would highly recommend this book for students, community development practitioners and policy makers.

Seminal in the field of biogeography.

This book is a crucial resource for my research group.

This book guides my academic career.

A House Made of Stars is Tawnysha Greene's first novel.

This book provided me the opportunity to reflect about what is important to me in my role in the university and helped to regain some of the joy and passion for preparing future teachers. It helped me to manage expectations and balance my responsibilities (including understanding "No." is a complete sentence) so I could love teaching again.

It was influential on my intellectual journey.

Coetzee's novel confronts us with the hardest, most beautiful problems of being human.

I have been using this book in my teaching of immunology.

This is a novel about a journey, about skill, about mysteries, and about larger forces in the world shaping our own and working around us. It's also about the complexity of human experience. All of these themes resonate with me in one way or another. I first read it when I was around 18, and I particularly loved it because it made me think hard about questions of morality and coexistence while also providing that fantasy escape which I've always craved. The story in Sailing to Sarantium finishes in a second book, Lord of Emperors.

I enjoyed reading this book. It reminds me to be patient and stay focused when striving to develop meaningful work.

Dr. Navjot S. Sodhi co-advised my M.Sc. thesis research at the National University of Singapore (NUS). As Professor of Conservation Ecology at NUS, he inspired, mentored and trained a generation of young conservation scientists from Southeast Asia and globally. This book, published in 2010, was conceived and edited by Navjot and his close friend and collaborator, Dr. Paul Ehrlich, with the aim of making conservation science education accessible to students and researchers in the tropics, where financial resources are usually limited. Therefore, this book was made freely available to the public (https://conbio.org/publications/free-textbook/) to access and download. It is also notable that this edited volume features a chapter on invasive species written by Dr. Daniel Simberloff, Gore Hunger Professor of Environmental Science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Navjot, unfortunately, passed on in 2011 due to lymphoma. I will always be grateful for his mentorship and friendship, and I will always remember the days I spent with him and his family in Boston when I first visited the US to interview for Ph.D. programs. We all miss you, Navjot.
