Concepts of 'race' and racism are central to British history. They have shaped, and been shaped by, British identities, economies and societies for centuries, from colonialism and enslavement to the 'hostile environment' of the 2010s. Yet state and societal racism has always been met with resistance. This edited volume collects the latest research on anti-racist action in Britain, and makes the case for a multifaceted, historically contingent 'tradition' of British anti-racism shaped by local, national and transnational contexts, networks and movements. Ranging from Pan-Africanist activism in the 1890s to mutual aid women's groups in the 1970s, from anti-racist trade union marches in Scotland to West African student groups in North East England - this book explores the continuities and interruptions in British anti-racism from the nineteenth century to the present day.

Praise for the previous edition: "...aided by clear diagrams and photographs, as well as sidebars that cover historical background, notable scientists, and practical applications of the chemistry concepts."—The Horn Book Guide Without the different states of matter—the solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas that make up our universe—the world would be a very boring place. States of matter are constantly changing form all around us: hot showers steam up the bathroom mirror, gaseous water falls to the ground as snow, liquid escapes from our skin to cool the body, and plasma moves from the atmosphere to the surface of the Earth via lightning strikes. But, as readers of this insightful eBook will learn, these things don't happen by accident. States of Matter: Gases, Liquids, Solids, and Plasmas, Third Edition deciphers the science behind these chemical states to present an engaging and eye-opening reference enhanced by full-color photographs and illustrations.

Praise for the previous edition: "...clear and detailed...informative...comprehensive...will be [a] useful addition to most libraries."—School Library Journal The versatility of carbon is what makes this element such a large part of human life. All life on Earth is carbon-based, and humans cannot live without it. In addition, most of the energy that humans use to power homes and cars comes from carbon combustion. As a result of these multiple, widespread uses of carbon, humans have accidentally disrupted the Earth's balance of this element—with largely unknown future consequences. Now, science looks to the chemistry of carbon to set the balance straight. Carbon Chemistry, Third Edition describes how carbon is an essential element for life on Earth, where it is found in everyday life, and what is being done to offset the increased carbon emissions modern life has caused.
