Sommario/riassunto

" A] collection of scholars has] released a monumental study called A Common Destiny: Blacks and American Society. It offers detailed evidence of the progress our nation has made in the past 50 years in living up to American ideals. But the study makes clear that our work is far from over." --President Bush Remarks by the president to the National Urban League Conference The product of a four-year, intensive study by distinguished experts, A Common Destiny presents a clear, readable "big picture" of blacks' position in America. Drawing on historical perspectives and a vast amount of data, the book examines the past 50 years of change and continuity in the status of black Americans. By studying and comparing black and white age cohorts, this volume charts the status of blacks in areas such as education, housing, employment, political participation and family life.

Sommario/riassunto

Germanium is an important semiconductor material used in transistors and various other electronic devices. Its major end uses are fibre-optic systems and infrared optics, but it is also used for polymerisation catalysts, as well as in electronics and solar cell applications. This book presents current research in the study of germanium, including



properties and generation by irradiation of germanium point defects in Ge-doped silica; Germanium encaged fullerene-synthesis; research of silicon and germanium structures with films of oxides and fluoride rare earth elements and new generation germanium detectors for double beta decay searches.
