Labor leader, civil rights activist, outspoken feminist, African American clergywoman--Reverend Addie Wyatt stood at the confluence of many rivers of change in twentieth century America. The first female president of a local chapter of the United Packinghouse Workers of America, Wyatt worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and Eleanor Roosevelt and appeared as one of Time magazine's Women of the Year in 1975. Marcia Walker-McWilliams tells the incredible story of Addie Wyatt and her times. What began for Wyatt as a journey to overcome poverty became a lifetime commitment to social justice and the collective struggle against economic, racial, and gender inequalities. Walker-McWilliams illuminates how Wyatt's own experiences with hardship and many forms of discrimination drove her work as an activist and leader. A parallel journey led her to develop an abiding spiritual faith, one that denied defeatism by refusing to accept such circumstances as immutable social forces.

Miss Addie's Gift: Portrait of an American Folk Artist

MISS ADDIE'S GIFT; Portrait of an American Folk Artist, is a biography/full-color catalogue/tribute to North Carolina self-taught artist, Addie James (1943-2011). Author Kate Merrill, longtime gallery owner and co-owner of Merrill-Jennings Galleries in Davidson, NC, represented Miss Addie from 2000 to Addie's death in 2011, and during that time helped elevate the artist to national prominence. The text not only includes Kate's assessment of how to place Addie in art history--- in that complex maze of what is lumped together as primitive, na ve, folk, or outsider art--- but also conveys Kate's deep friendship with her subject. After hours of taped interviews, the text also weaves Addie's first-person narrative as well as Addie's original poems through the presentation. The result is a colorful art book which evolves as a portrait of as unique human being who inspires hope in a troubled time when peace and joy seem all but lost. As opposed to being an academic critique, Miss Addie's Gift, should appeal to a mainstream audience, especially all women, African Americans, art and folk art lovers---indeed anyone open to an inspirational message. Addie James was an African American mother of five, grandmother of six, who never learned to drive a car, nor did she stray far beyond her hometown of Statesville, North Carolina. She worked in the cotton fields, endured segregation, financial hardship, and personal tragedy. Yet neither her art nor her spirit reflected one trace of bitterness. Addie painted for as long as she could remember, graduating from crayons and pencils to watercolors, acrylics, and all manner of mixed media. She painted on any material available: fabric, cardboard, wood...even the jackets of broken books. As a young woman, Addie was an accomplished fashion designer with a flair for sewing. She filled notebooks with her designs, translated them to clothing, and received an offer to design as a professional. Because she was busy raising a family, Addie ignored the opportunity in favor of making clothes for her children's paper dolls and capturing her fashions in her paintings. Miss Addie wrote poetry and songs. She adorned quilts, chairs, gourds, and handmade fans with her art. If painting had been a lifelong passion, it became a necessity when her husband died in the early nineties: I use drawing as a stress reliever. It brings me fun and joy. Indeed, all Addie's work reflected her natural joy in everyday living. Much of her subject matter can be described as the five "F's" fun, fashion, friends, family, and faith. While living the African-American experience in Statesville could not have been easy for Miss Addie, her art always spoke with a positive voice. If Addie had a dark side, it seldom showed in her art. Over the years, Addie James slowly attracted critical attention. Her art was featured in community shows, The Wallace House at Mitchell Community College, the Iredell Museum of Arts and Heritage and the Statesville Depot. In February 2002 and 2003 Miss Addie had major One-Woman Show at Merrill-Jennings Galleries in Davidson. The gallery represented her exclusively. Addie James saw herself, quite correctly, as a serious, dedicated painter. Her unselfconscious balance of ego and humility were key to her success and a joy to behold. When Addie James died unexpectedly in August, 2011, her friends, family, collectors and the art world at large lost an authentic American treasure. While she will be terribly missed, her gift will live forever in her art.

She is a feisty social worker. He is an accomplished chiropractor. Her life needs an adjustment, and he's just the man to do it.Addisyn "Addie" Gabriel always knew she needed an alpha male to take her in hand. Former Marine Special Forces Operator turned chiropractor, Doctor Bradley Murphy, is that and so much more. Addie soon discovers that happiness lies with following the doctor's orders.
In 1910, the two sisters, eleven- and twelve-year-old Maud and Addie, are eagerly anticipating their Summer Social in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. However, the event does not quite go according to plan, and the two girls are swept out to sea as they are rowing home at the day’s end. They find themselves adrift in the unforgiving North Atlantic with only the contents of a picnic hamper to sustain them and a carriage blanket to keep them warm. Finding their way through stormy seas, the girls finally make landfall on a deserted island. With string and a jackknife recovered from Maud’s pockets and a parasol and novel contributed by Addie, the girls create a world for themselves among the island dunes, keeping company with sea birds and other sea creatures. Their ensuing adventures test their wits and, in the process, forge a bond that enables them to survive.
CHILDREN $ GANGSTERS & NAZIS OH, MY Set in 1939 New York, this wonderfully warm and funny Damon Runyonesque-like piece deals with Addie Russell, a lady nightclub owner, who takes under her wing two orphaned Jewish refugee children. The children are in the country illegally and are also being pursued by a Nazi agent because, unknown to them, they have in their possession a vital piece of microfilm. The story is populated with nasty gangsters, comic gangsters and, of course, a handsome F.B.I. man to serve as Addie's romantic interest. If you enjoyed GUYS AND DOLLS and the lighthearted Warner Brothers gangster films (like A SLIGHT CASE OF MURDER and BROTHER ORCHID) of the late thirties, then this one should delight you.
Instructional Design: The ADDIE Approach

The Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate (ADDIE) process is used to introduce an approach to instruction design that has a proven record of success. Instructional Design: The ADDIE Approach is intended to serve as an overview of the ADDIE concept. The primary rationale for this book is to respond to the need for an instruction design primer that addresses the current proliferation of complex educational development models, particularly non-traditional approaches to learning, multimedia development and online learning environments. Many entry level instructional designers and students enrolled in related academic programs indicate they are better prepared to accomplish the challenging work of creating effective training and education materials after they have a thorough understanding of the ADDIE principles. However, a survey of instructional development applications indicate that the overwhelming majority of instructional design models are based on ADDIE, often do not present the ADDIE origins as part of their content, and are poorly applied by people unfamiliar with the ADDIE paradigm. The purpose of this book is to focus on fundamental ADDIE principles, written with a minimum of professional jargon. This is not an attempt to debate scholars or other educational professionals on the finer points of instructional design, however, the book's content is based on sound doctrine and supported by valid empirical research. The only bias toward the topic is that generic terms will be used as often as possible in order to make it easy for the reader to apply the concepts in the book to other specific situations.
