This is an amazing story based on Kossula's memories of his long-ago life in his beloved Africa. Through Kossula and the other's resilience, they not only survived the horrific Middle Passage on the last known slave ship, the Clotilda, but slavery, the American Civil War, the Reconstruction of Alabama, and the Jim Crow period. After the American Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation, Kossula and the newly freed Africans tried, but failed to return to their beloved homeland, Africa. The group reunited from various plantations, alongside American-born, formerly enslaved men, women, and children. The Africans bought land and formed their own self-sufficient world in this unique cultural section of Mobile, Alabama, now known as Africatown. The Founders appointed tribal leaders and governed Africatown according to customary African laws, spoke their own regional language, kept their own customs, used African irrigation and gardening techniques from Africa, and built their own social structures. Always proud of their African roots, they passed their African memories and rich culture on to their generation. This book will take young readers on an exciting journey. They will learn various facts about the young boy, Kossula, and his life in West Africa. This story will give them a better understanding and an appreciation of our African history while embracing our rich African heritage. I have also added a family tree in the book for children. This is a great way to get kids involved and interested in their family history. This book will be an essential addition to your library and to your family's book collection, and it is certain to inspire our children for years to come. Ten percent of all the proceeds from the book will be donated to Africatown's Non-profit Organizations.

This book is a catalogue of my paintings arranged by subject matter. Each topic has a brief description before it describing the techniques I use for painting the painting or why and how they make me feel. It begins as an autobiography and how I became an Abstract Realistic painter. I am a self-taught painter although I did have a little help at the beginning. I met one person who taught me very elementary things about painting and the tools to use. He taught me how to stretch a canvas, the value of using good quality paints like Golden Paints and a special wall easel. Years later my husband and I set up our studio at our home in Pennsylvania. It is 20' by 30' and has 3 skylights on the east side. We have color corrected lights throughout. There are three drafting tables, one for my husband and myself and a framing table and three easels, one for him and two for me. I like to work on two paintings at the same time sometimes. I have a kiddie pool set up for pouring paints on to canvases, which works out well for smaller canvases. When I have larger canvases I take them outside and do the pouring there. There are racks for storing canvases and cabinets for tools, canvases and paints. I have fun painting in a studio filled with music and light. Whether I am in a small New York apartment kitchen, a large art studio in Pennsylvania or a redone second bedroom in Florida I always feel comfortable in my workspace painting. I am an acrylic painter whose paintings emphasize dynamic texture and color. My paintings make use of bright colors using " marks". A "mark-making" technique emphasizes visual brush strokes. These strokes of thick paint produce an almost three-dimensional quality of textures and movement, displaying an emotional abstract-realistic presentation. I started using this technique years ago when I first started painting. I just came naturally, effortlessly to me and it felt comfortable and natural. I have tried some variations of it but I have always come back to it like an old friend. Sometimes I employ glazing or transparencies of a color or layering of color. I also use a pouring technique of liquid paint to bend colors. They flow freely into each other and it is magical the way the colors seamlessly mix together. The individual brush strokes of color develop into a painting. I use lots of colors, bright colors and thick coats of paint. I use heavy body Golden Acrylic Paint and their liquid paint. Generally I paint right out of the jar with many values of a color to get the effect I want. The inspiration for my paintings comes from nature, plants, fish, and the sky plus other dream-like, creative states of mind. Other times the blank canvas inspires me. Sometimes I limit my palette to certain colors to develop my painting, using only those colors. Often I have a specific creative idea in mind and then attempt to reproduce it on the canvas. The finished painting is sometimes different from my original vision. The idea morphs and changes as I paint. Either way, there is a lot of creativity and spontaneity applied to the process. There is a chapter on my Moons and Suns, which I am best known for although Landscapes are also included. The Abstracts and Experimental chapter is next. As an Abstract Realistic painter the following chapters are done in a purely representational way of Flowers, Animals and Fish, Sumi'-e Chinese ink paintings, dedicating paintings and Weavings. The completed painting I hope emotes en emotion or memory. I want a painting to be ever changing to the viewer and pleasing to the eye. My favorite times are in the beginning and end of a piece, and then again when the painting finds a home. It is very inspiring and motivating when people connect with my paintings and want to live with them as part of their art collection. They appreciate my vision. That is my goal and a measure of my success.
A Christian Devotional: Ditch New Year Declarations, Declare 30 Words of Life

They were mad, of course. Or evil. Or godless, amoral, arrogant, impersonal, and inhuman. At best, they were well intentioned but blind to the dangers of forces they barely controlled. They were Faust and Frankenstein, Jekyll and Moreau, Caligari and Strangelove-the scientists of film and fiction, cultural archetypes that reflected ancient fears of tampering with the unknown or unleashing the little-understood powers of nature. In From Madman to Crime Fighter, Roslynn D. Haynes analyzes stereotypical characters-including the mad scientist, the cold-blooded pursuer of knowledge, the intrepid pathbreaker, and the bumbling fool-that, from medieval times to the present day, have been used to depict the scientist in Western literature and film. She also describes more realistically drawn scientists, characters who are conscious of their public responsibility to expose dangers from pollution and climate change yet fearful of being accused of lacking evidence. Drawing on examples from Britain, America, Germany, France, Russia, and elsewhere, Haynes explores the persistent folklore of mad doctors of science and its relation to popular fears of a depersonalized, male-dominated, and socially irresponsible pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. She concludes that today's public response to science and scientists-much of it negative-is best understood by recognizing the importance of such cultural archetypes and their significance as myth. From Madman to Crime Fighter is the most comprehensive study of the image of the scientist in Western literature and film.

The desert has a hypnotic presence in Australian culture, simultaneously alluring and repellent. The 'Centre' is distant and unknown to most Australians, yet has become a symbol of the country. This exciting book reveals the singular impact that the desert, both geographical and metaphorical, has had on Australian culture. At the heart of this highly illustrated full colour book is the profound relationship that Aboriginal Australians have with the desert, and the complex ways in which they have been seen by white people in this context. The various attempts to conquer and colonise the 'hideous blank' by nineteenth-century explorers is covered in illuminating ways. In the twentieth century the desert was rediscovered by travellers, artists, novelists, poets and film makers. More recently the desert has been promoted as a site for eco-tourism, new age enlightenment and environmental renewal.

This well-illustrated volume is the most comprehensive account of Australian astronomy to date. It is both an indispensable reference book on the history of astronomy in Australia, and a highly readable study of a scientific discipline in the context of emerging nationhood. It covers not only the science, but the individuals involved and the social and economic climate in which they worked. Starting from the ancient Aboriginal beliefs about the Sky World - the earliest known astronomy, anywhere in the world - we are led through to the most exciting high-tech current and projected research being carried out at Australia's world-class national astronomy facilities, and by groups in Australian universities. All branches of astronomy are covered - optical, infrared, X-ray, gamma-ray, microwave, gravitational wave and theoretical - including the contribution of amateur astronomers. The non-technical language, many illustrations, and explanatory figures, ensure that this guide will appeal to a wide range of readers - including professional astronomers, historians of science, students, amateur astronomers and general readers.

W eksperymencie laboratoryjnym zbadano dynamikę r żnych frakcji fosforu w wzbogaconych fosforitach skalnych z fosfobakteriami. Zabieg TRP EnFYM z PB odnotowal najwyższą ilośc wszystkich frakcji fosforu niezależnie od rodzaju gleby i byl stosunkowo lepszy od MRP EnFYM z PB i bez PB. PB mial korzystny wplyw na r żne frakcje P niezależnie od gleby i fosforyt w skalnych. W eksperymentach polowych plon ziarna kukurydzy byl najwyższy (6,62 t/ha) w przypadku 100% P jako TRP EnFYM z PB (T14) w por wnaniu z SSP na czarnej glebie wapiennej. Najwyższa efektywnośc wykorzystania fosforu, efektywnośc fizjologiczna i stosunek B: C byly najwyższe w T14. W czerwonej glebie niekalkowej najwyższe plony ziarna i lodyg zaobserwowano w T2 (100% P jako SSP) i byly one por wnywalne z T8 (100% P jako MRP EnFYM z PB). Wzrost poziomu P spowodowal wzrost plonu ziarna i lodyg. Najwyższy PUE odnotowano w T2, a następnie w T8, a wraz ze wzrostem poziomu P odnotowano wzrost PUE. Najwyższa wydajnośc fizjologiczna zostala odnotowana w T2. Najwyższy wsp lczynnik reakcji odnotowano w T6. Najwyższy stosunek B: C odnotowano w T7, a następnie w T8.

Women’s Conflicts About Eating and Sexuality explores the strong relationships food and sex have represented to women over the years. No other book has spelled out so clearly the parallels between sex and eating nor integrated the relationship of these to women’s basic need to be loved.Today’s dilemma for women--be fat or go hungry--and the endless variations and unsatisfying solutions to this problem have contributed to the incidence of anorexia, bulimia, and obesity. The pursuit of slimness, the obsession with having the perfect body, excessive aerobicizing, and diet books ad nauseam are all part of this phenomenon. Authors in Women’s Conflicts About Eating and Sexuality skillfully discuss the parallel between women’s obsession with sex and romance in the fifties and their obsession with food today. An important book for all women, it sheds light on the complex issues facing women and devotes special attention to the career woman and the additional pressures to be slim and stay slim.The woman who reads this potentially life-changing book can examine, question, and change her behavior, using the specific step-by-step program aid included in the book. This book is for every woman who has ever worried about being too fat or too sexual. Women’s Conflicts About Eating and Sexuality will appeal to women of all ages--young women and their mothers will be fascinated by the parallels between sexual obsessions of thirty years ago and the eating obsessions of today.This healing book will particularly attract single career women for whom sex and relationships are fraught with complications. Counselors and therapists will find this book an excellent resource in their work with helping women. It is also a good auxiliary text for courses in Women’s Studies focusing on psychology and history of women and the sociology of women and eating disorders.
