Book Synopsis 150 Years Later by : Melvin J. Collier
Download or read book 150 Years Later written by Melvin J. Collier and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 150 Years Later is a unique story of DISCOVERY, TRIUMPH, and CELEBRATION. No other book unravels a historical mystery that led to an unprecedented family reunion. This book takes readers on a mouth-dropping quest that mended ties that were broken during slavery. In 1859 near Abbeville, South Carolina, 12-year-old Bill Reed was forever separated from his family. His father was sold away, and his mother, grandmother, and other family members were all taken away from the state soon afterwards. Waving goodbye to them, young Bill would never lay eyes on them ever again. He left South Carolina in 1866, shortly after he was emancipated, and moved to northern Mississippi after he was told that Mississippi was the "land of milk and honey with fat pigs running around with apples in their mouths." He died near Senatobia in 1937, at the age of 91, never learning that his family had been within 75 miles away from him, also in northern Mississippi. 150 Years Later is a riveting story of discovery that chronicles Collier's relentless journey of unearthing his great-grandfather Bill's mysterious history, finding his family's whereabouts and their living descendants, and breaking down barriers to mend the broken ties in an emotional reunion in 2009 - 150 years later. The involuntary break-up of families during slavery due to selling and other means was very common. However, the discovery of those lost branches and the reuniting of the descendants after 150 years is uncommon. This is what makes 150 Years Later very captivating and uplifting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mississippi to Africa captures Collier's fourteen-year journey in unearthing the buried history of his maternal grandmother's family - a journey that took him back seven generations, from northern Mississippi to the Piedmont hills of South Carolina, and even back to a specific people and region in West Africa where his ancestry undoubtedly began. Trekking the paths of his ancestors and their displaced relatives before Emancipation (1863), this emotion-filled journey traversed down an intricate paper trail of federal, state, and local records, other public records, and oral histories, presented in a narrative style to inspire, entice, and propel readers into the fascinating world of genealogy and historical discoveries. Collier also uncovered the ways in which his ancestors ingeniously retained aspects of their African heritage. DNA technology confirmed his research findings and verified ancestral ties. The reader will gain many research tips and techniques along the journey.

Book Synopsis The International after 150 Years by : George Comninel
Download or read book The International after 150 Years written by George Comninel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Workingmen’s Association was the prototype of all organizations of the Labour movement and the 150th anniversary of its birth (1864-2014) offers an important opportunity to rediscover its history and learn from its legacy. The International helped workers to grasp that the emancipation of labour could not be won in a single country but was a global objective. It also spread an awareness in their ranks that they had to achieve the goal themselves, through their own capacity for organization, rather than by delegating it to some other force; and that it was essential to overcome the capitalist system itself, since improvements within it, though necessary to pursue, would not eliminate exploitation and social injustice. This book reconsider the main issues broached or advanced by the International – such as labor rights, critiques of capitalism and the search for international solidarity – in light of present-day concerns. With the recent crisis of capitalism, that has sharpened more than before the division between capital and labour, the political legacy of the organization founded in London in 1864 has regained profound relevance, and its lessons are today more timely than ever. This book was published as a special issue of Socialism and Democracy.
Book Synopsis Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy: The Story of Little Women and Why It Still Matters by : Anne Boyd Rioux
Download or read book Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy: The Story of Little Women and Why It Still Matters written by Anne Boyd Rioux and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On its 150th anniversary, discover the story of the beloved classic that has captured the imaginations of generations. Soon after publication on September 30, 1868, Little Women became an enormous bestseller and one of America’s favorite novels. Its popularity quickly spread throughout the world, and the book has become an international classic. When Anne Boyd Rioux read the novel in her twenties, she had a powerful reaction to the story. Through teaching the book, she has seen the same effect on many others. In Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, Rioux recounts how Louisa May Alcott came to write Little Women, drawing inspiration for it from her own life. Rioux also examines why this tale of family and community ties, set while the Civil War tore America apart, has resonated through later wars, the Depression, and times of changing opportunities for women. Alcott’s novel has moved generations of women, many of them writers: Simone de Beauvoir, J. K. Rowling, bell hooks, Cynthia Ozick, Jane Smiley, Margo Jefferson, and Ursula K. Le Guin were inspired by Little Women, particularly its portrait of the iconoclastic young writer, Jo. Many have felt, as Anna Quindlen has declared, “Little Women changed my life.” Today, Rioux sees the novel’s beating heart in Alcott’s portrayal of family resilience and her honest look at the struggles of girls growing into women. In gauging its current status, Rioux shows why Little Women remains a book with such power that people carry its characters and spirit throughout their lives.

Book Synopsis The New York Times Book of Medicine by : Gina Kolata
Download or read book The New York Times Book of Medicine written by Gina Kolata and published by Union Square & Co.. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we live longer, healthier lives than ever before in history—a transformation due almost entirely to tremendous advances in medicine. This change is so profound, with many major illnesses nearly wiped out, that its hard now to imagine what the world was like in 1851, when the New York Times began publishing. Treatments for depression, blood pressure, heart disease, ulcers, and diabetes came later; antibiotics were nonexistent, viruses unheard of, and no one realized yet that DNA carried blueprints for life or the importance of stem cells. Edited by award-winning writer Gina Kolata, this eye-opening collection of 150 articles from the New York Times archive charts the developing scientific insights and breakthroughs into diagnosing and treating conditions like typhoid, tuberculosis, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimers, and AIDS, and chronicles the struggles to treat mental illness and the enormous success of vaccines. It also reveals medical mistakes, lapses in ethics, and wrong paths taken in hopes of curing disease. Every illness, every landmark has a tale, and the newspapers top reporters tell each one with perceptiveness and skill.
Book Synopsis Identity, Gender, and Sexuality by : Peter Fonagy
Download or read book Identity, Gender, and Sexuality written by Peter Fonagy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'While Freud opened the door on the formative and motivating power of sexuality, contemporary psychoanalysts, with some notable exceptions, have consigned sexuality to the psychoanalytic closet. This book not only re-opens the door on the broad subject of psychosexuality, but also provides fresh insights into heterosexuality, bisexuality, homosexuality, gender identity disorder, transvestism and transsexualism. This publication brings together some of the leading psychoanalytic authorities from around the globe to consider in depth the complex interweaving of identity, gender and sexuality from theoretical, clinical, historical and research perspectives. The author strongly recommends "Identity, Gender and Sexuality" to those looking for a book that does not pull punches. The reader will find a debate about the relative merits of clinical, empirical, and conceptual research, critical assessments of interdisciplinary findings from infant and child development research, embodied cognitive science, academic psychology, neurobiology, genetics, ethology, and other fields of inquiry, and honest and illuminating psychoanalytic case studies. - Donald Campbell

Download or read book Cerdà written by Francesc Magrinyà and published by Actar. This book was released on 2017 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a tribute to the first modern urban planner and his product: the Eixample, which is today the thriving and undisputed center of the Barcelona metropolitan area. The city of Barcelona as constructed over the last 150 years on the strength of Ildefons Cerdà's 1859 'Project for the Reform and Expansion' bears living witness to the modernity of a way of thinking and making the city. An appreciaton of the values of the Eixample that have taken shape in the last century and a half affords illuminating insights into what it means to plan, design and build a city. The chapter structure is devoted to an orderly analysis in the first instance of the elements that articulate the construction of the Eixample -- the residential fabric, the grid, the street, the chamfered corner and the sewers -- and then of the city blocks and the various configurations associated with housing, industry, amenities and open spaces. The book intentionally focuses on the Eixample as a whole -- what we know as the Cerdà Eixample -- instead of confining itself to the more central Eixample traditionally associated with Modernista architecture.

Book Synopsis Ealy Family Heritage by : Melvin J. Collier
Download or read book Ealy Family Heritage written by Melvin J. Collier and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ealy Family Heritage, Documenting Our Legacy is a fascinating body of work that not only documents the Ealy Family's history back to the 1700s, but it also captures the history of the Leake County, Mississippi communities where the family's presence dates back to circa 1835. That was when the family patriarch, Robert "Big Bob" Ealy, was transported to central Mississippi from Nash County, North Carolina as an enslaved young man. His enslaver, William "Billy" Eley, used him as a breeder. With his wife Jane Parrott, Big Bob Ealy had 12 children. Three additional children have been found. Because of his forced task of slave breeding, more will likely be unearthed in the future due to DNA technology. This first volume documents over 3,500 descendants. The family ancestral homes are the Lena and Tuscola communities of Leake County, but many descendants also resided and still live in Leake, Scott, Rankin, Hinds, and Madison County, Mississippi. During the 20th Century Great Migration, scores of Ealys migrated to Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Las Vegas, and other points North and West. Ealy Family Heritage, Documenting Our Legacy highlights four key areas - family, community, church, and school. These topics help to provide a comprehensive history of the family. A family history is more than just names, places, and dates. That's boring. However, this book is like no other family publication because it is chockfull of pictures, stories, and memories from family elders and others about the family, the communities, the churches, and the early schools for African Americans in southern Leake County. Oral history is a major part of family history research, as it gives life to the deceased ancestors. Ealy Family Heritage, Documenting Our Legacy was authored by Melvin J. Collier, a renowned genealogy researcher and author of two genealogical books, Mississippi to Africa, A Journey of Discovery and 150 Years Later, Broken Ties Mended. Collier is a great great grandson of Big Bob & Jane Ealy. He first heard his paternal grandmother, the late Mrs. Willie Ealy Collier, utter Big Bob's name from her lips when he was a teenager. Consequently, he began his genealogy research of the Ealy Family in 1993, nearly three years after his grandmother's passing, recalling much of the information she relayed to him. He has currently traced the Ealy Family's history back to Big Bob's mother, Annie, who was born circa 1795. Her name was given to numerous descendants. Collier discovered an unfortunate saga that involved the "ownership" of Annie and three of her children. They were the subject of an 1832 North Carolina court case, William Hunt vs. Edwin Bass et al, 17 N.C. 292, which went all the way to the North Carolina Supreme Court. Collier's research has also taken Jane Parrott's family history back to the 1700s to Lunenburg County and Brunswick County, Virginia. He has also uncovered autosomal DNA evidence of the family's African roots. In Ealy Family Heritage, Documenting Our Legacy, Collier uniquely combines the process of genealogy research with story-telling. He discloses how he researched the enslaved ancestors of Big Bob and Jane, while still telling the stories of their lives and their descendants' lives during slavery and afterwards. This also makes this book a great publication for even non-descendants who are interested in African American genealogy research. This book can also serve as a great template on how to organize and write a family history book. Whether if one is an Ealy descendant or not, this book is a great educational resource.
