""The Knowledge Book"" is a unique interdisciplinary reference work for students and researchers concerned with the nature of knowledge.

Sommario/riassunto

Immigration is a topic on the minds of a large portion of Americans. In 2006, a series of large marches and political debates shook the nation to the core. With the 2008 presidential campaign under way, the controversy is alive and well.
