Every day in the United States, people test their luck in numerous lotteries, from state-run games to massive programs like Powerball and Mega Millions. Yet few are aware that the origins of today’s lotteries can be found in an African American gambling economy that flourished in urban communities in the mid-twentieth century. In Running the Numbers, Matthew Vaz reveals how the politics of gambling became enmeshed in disputes over racial justice and police legitimacy. As Vaz highlights, early urban gamblers favored low-stakes games built around combinations of winning numbers. When these games became one of the largest economic engines in nonwhite areas like Harlem and Chicago’s south side, police took notice of the illegal business—and took advantage of new opportunities to benefit from graft and other corrupt practices. Eventually, governments found an unusual solution to the problems of illicit gambling and abusive police tactics: coopting the market through legal state-run lotteries, which could offer larger jackpots than any underground game. By tracing this process and the tensions and conflicts that propelled it, Vaz brilliantly calls attention to the fact that, much like education and housing in twentieth-century America, the gambling economy has also been a form of disputed terrain upon which racial power has been expressed, resisted, and reworked.

A book written on empirically researched facts that won’t necessarily be taught in the classroom due to curriculum being a leverage of power, Rise, My Setting Son is designed to open the eyes and minds of Black men and more to the possibilities of acknowledging our part of being controlled in our positions of lack. Not a book to be used to cause division, but a book to help determine the spirit in which we exist in society and to acknowledge we are more alike than not. A book with hopes to motivate all cultures, but specifically, urge Black men to take control of our choices, our communities, and our futures through getting involved and leading communities to make changes. We have all we need to be better…it’s time to make a choice.

Leadership and Innovation During Crisis: Lessons from the Iraq War examines the role of leadership during wartime innovation efforts and finds that the senior military leader is essential for successful innovation, affecting both the likelihood of innovation and the form it takes. Through use cases and examples from the Iraq War, the author shows that innovation only occurs if leaders actively embrace innovation and employ the appropriate influence tactics to overcome the inherent individual and organizational resistance to change. Although this book only examines wartime innovation in the military, the findings also apply broadly to peacetime and non-military innovation efforts.

Located in a strategic position on the southern flank of the Ammonite hill country, overlooking the Madaba Plain, the earliest settlement at Tall Jawa dates to the Iron I period (1100-900 BC). This settlement was redesigned during Iron Age II (900-600 BC), and consisted of a walled town, surrounded by a casemate style fortification system and a multi-chambered gate complex. Major buildings, standing to the second storey, are described in detail with their furnishings and contents. A marked change in architecture, ceramic technology, and high status artefacts mark the high point of Tall Jawa during the period of the Assyrian empire (730-600 BC). The major features of each structure are illustrated both in the text and on a CD-ROM. This volume presents the final report of six seasons of excavations at Tall Jawa in central Jordan. The particular focus of this report is the architecture and stratigraphy of the settlements which occupied the site during the Iron Age (1100-600 BC).
