Still, if your work requires you to do any halftoning implementation or modification, you need this book. If you can only afford one, read Ulichney from the library and then buy Kang since he quotes the earlier work extensively.』
『Digital halftoning, a key technology in the printing and display industries, is the focus of this comprehensive text. The content is aimed at technical professionals in the field of digital color imaging who want to understand the halftone process or design halftone screens and screenless processes for research and development purposes. It also is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in printing and graphic arts. The book is organized in four parts: Part I describes halftone development and techniques from a technological and historical viewpoint. Part II presents tools for color measurement and image analysis. Part III covers fundamental concepts, models, and metrics for halftone design. Part IV presents in-depth discussions of each major halftone technique.』

Contrasting with the atmosphere of the authorizing legislation, society believed that these women needed to work outside the home and those who did not were 'lazy'. Black women especially found themselves being portrayed as the 'outsider'. White women were still on welfare and had always comprised a majority of the program recipients, but politicians knew they could not create public outrage and internal disorder against somebody who more or less resembled the status quo. They had to attack somebody who was so `different' from themselves. Neither the realities of a tight job market, lax community infrastructure, non-existent mass transit, or the exorbitant cost of quality and safe child care shattered those carefully-spun stereotypes. That positioning also made it easy for the government to ignore how little the monthly check was actually buying by the 1990's because it had not been adjusted for inflation. 』 (Color of Welfare) 『The Color of Welfare does an excellent job of tracing the evolution of the U.S. welfare state. Quadagno explores the major programs of the welfare system. The main conclusion is that racism was the major factor in the development of policies designed to help those in need. Quadagno chronicles the political games and their impact on the services to the poor. Each major program or department responsible for the distribution of welfare benefits is explored and critiqued. Overall, a good source of background knowledge of the maze of the programs and benefits that make up the welfare system.』 『Thirty years after Lyndon Johnson declared a War on Poverty, the United States still lags behind most Western democracies in national welfare systems, lacking such basic programs as national health insurance and child care support. Some critics have explained the failure of social programs by citing our tradition of individual freedom and libertarian values, while others point to weaknesses within the working class. In The Color of Welfare, Jill Quadagno takes exception to these claims, placing race at the center of the "American Dilemma," as Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal did half a century ago. The "American creed" of liberty, justice, and equality clashed with a history of active racial discrimination, says Quadagno. It is racism that has undermined the War on Poverty, and America must come to terms with this history if there is to be any hope of addressing welfare reform today. From Reconstruction to Lyndon Johnson and beyond, Quadagno reveals how American social policy has continually foundered on issues of race. Drawing on extensive primary research, Quadagno shows, for instance, how Roosevelt, in need of support from southern congressmen, excluded African Americans from the core programs of the Social Security Act. Turning to Lyndon Johnson's "unconditional war on poverty," she contends that though anti-poverty programs for job training, community action, health care, housing, and education have accomplished much, they have not been fully realized because they became inextricably intertwined with the civil rights movement of the 1960s, which triggered a white backlash. Job training programs, for instance, became affirmative action programs, programs to improve housing became programs to integrate housing, programs that began as community action to upgrade the quality of life in the cities were taken over by local civil rights groups. This shift of emphasis eventually alienated white, working-class Americans, who had some of the same needs--for health care, subsidized housing, and job training opportunities--but who got very little from these programs. At the same time, affirmative action clashed openly with organized labor, and equal housing raised protests from the white suburban middle-class, who didn't want their neighborhoods integrated. Quadagno shows that Nixon, who initially supported many of Johnson's programs, eventually caught on that the white middle class was disenchanted. He realized that his grand plan for welfare reform, the Family Assistance Plan, threatened to undermine wages in the South and alienate the Republican party's new constituency--white, southern Democrats--and therefore dropped it. In the 1960s, the United States embarked on a journey to resolve the "American dilemma." Yet instead of finally instituting full democratic rights for all its citizens, the policies enacted in that turbulent decade failed dismally. The Color of Welfare reveals the root cause of this failure--the inability to address racial inequality.』
