Book Synopsis North Jersey Legacies by : Gordon Bond
Download or read book North Jersey Legacies written by Gordon Bond and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-18 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that the Dust Bowl hit New Jersey? Twice? How about that a mysterious experiment in "subliminal advertising" was conducted at a Fort Lee, New Jersey movie theater? Or that railroad communication was advanced on a northwest New Jersey railroad line? Or that America first heard about the Russians launch of Sputnik 2 (with a dog onboard) thanks to a Ukrainian refugee in Perth Amboy, New Jersey? Or that prisons could buy a custom electric chair from a Trenton, New Jersey electrician? Or that aviation matured into an industry thanks to Newark Airport? This book is a collection of articles from www.GardenStateLegacy.com, an online quarterly magazine devoted to New Jersey history that the author began in 2008. The Garden State features to some degree even as a footnote in larger historical stories far more often than one might think. It could just be a matter of someone from the state going on to something of historic importance somewhere else; or that by dumb luck something just happened to occur within its borders. New Jersey may be a footnote in these tangential tales, but they are the kind of unexpected connections that makes exploring New Jersey's history so delightful.
Book Synopsis Hidden History of South Jersey by : Gordon Bond
Download or read book Hidden History of South Jersey written by Gordon Bond and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Jersey is perhaps best known for its beachside boardwalks, glitzy Atlantic City hotels and blueberry farms, but behind these iconic symbols are the overlooked tales that are unique to New Jersey. While much of Harriet Tubman's life is well known, her time in Cape May is usually overlooked by biographers. Few know that the classic American drive-in movie theaters were born in South Jersey. Even the famous Wildwood, with its distinctive Doo-Wop architecture, hides forgotten stories: at the height of its popularity, this shore town was hosting some of the country's first rock-and-roll acts. Often overshadowed by its more urban northern counterpart, South Jersey nonetheless has a hidden past. In this collection, author Gordon Bond uncovers the most intriguing of these tales.

Book Synopsis The Foundations of Communication in Criminal Justice Systems by : Daniel Adrian Doss
Download or read book The Foundations of Communication in Criminal Justice Systems written by Daniel Adrian Doss and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myriad forms of communication occur within the criminal justice system as judges and attorneys speak to juries, law enforcement officers interact with the public, and the news media presents stories of events in courtrooms. Hindrances abound, however. Law enforcement officers and justice system personnel often encounter challenges that affect their ability to communicate with others, ranging from language barriers, to conflicting accounts of witnessed events, to errors caused by malfunctioning technology. Examining the relevancy of the U.S. Constitution to modern communications, The Foundations of Communication in Criminal Justice Systems demonstrates how information is conveyed from multiple perspectives in a range of scenarios, enabling readers to see how these matters relate to and affect the criminal justice system. Topics covered include: How to use the communications process within the justice system from the crafting of messages through the solicitation of feedback Effective methods for persuading individuals and audiences Federal regulations in the workplace and workplace communications tactics How law enforcement and public safety entities use marketing and advertising to influence the general public How to use multimedia resources when communicating Using multiple communications styles to support effective leadership The book concludes with discussions on innovations in communication technology, natural language processing, cybernetics, and other emerging concepts. With an emphasis on logical reasoning in communication, the book explores the perspectives of numerous players in the justice system, from patrol officers to attorneys. Supplemented by examples of written communication templates that can be adapted within a law enforcement organization, it provides readers with solid theoretical and applied approaches to the subject matter.
Book Synopsis To Cast a Freedman's Vote by : Gordon Bond
Download or read book To Cast a Freedman's Vote written by Gordon Bond and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 31, 1870, Thomas Peterson became the first African American in the United States to cast a ballot under the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The opportunity to become that first voter came to Peterson by luck, with the encouragement and celebration of his white neighbors in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. The city's unusually progressive community stood in contrast with what was happening elsewhere in the country, especially the rise of Jim Crow in the former Confederacy. As such, Peterson's story has been retold since mostly through a white lens, where the man becomes a prop. Looking beyond the moment that made him famous, however, reveals a more complicated and relevant narrative. His post-vote embrace of civic life as a citizen reflected the hope felt by many Black people during Reconstruction - a hope that would be largely killed within Peterson's lifetime, from the "Compromise of 1877" that ended Reconstruction to the "separate but equal" of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Indeed, it resonates with 21st century conversations about race and suffrage. These days, Peterson's story is presented as a step in an evolution towards a more perfect union. Yet, by attempting to recenter him in the narrative, the story becomes more complicated, more fascinating, and more relevant. At the same time, that context makes what happened in that New Jersey port city 150 years ago all the more remarkable. Thomas Peterson sits at the intersection of suffrage, citizenship, and Civil Rights history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest Hill, located in the North Ward of Newark, overlooks the Passaic River to the east and Branch Brook Park to the west. This desirable residential area is filled with large homes representing a variety of architectural styles, from Richardsonian Romanesque to Craftsman. In the mid-1800s, three major landowners acquired most of the former farmland on the northern edge of Newark. These men built mansions for themselves and modest housing for those who worked in their nearby plants. With easy commuting access to downtown Newark and New York City, the Forest Hill neighborhood was marketed to wealthy professionals. One local landmark is the old Tiffany factory. A 52-block area of Forest Hill has been designated a National Historic District and is listed in the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places. Forest Hill showcases the rich architectural and community history of this Newark neighborhood.

It offers a discursive framework on ways to examine the conceptualizations of African social development and a critical discourse on debunking the misconceptions that are attached to African location in the global arena.

Book Synopsis The Country Practitioner by : Sandra M. a
Download or read book The Country Practitioner written by Sandra M. a and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Country Practitioner is the story of a short-lived but lively medical journal published in New Jersey between 1879 and 1881. Today, copies of this long-forgotten journal are found in only a handful of archival collections. It's editor, Ellis P. Townsend, M.D., of Beverly, N.J., created a publication for general practitioners in villages across America, who, in his view, were underserved by the urban medical journals of the day. Townsend brought his own strong opinions on topics such as bloodletting, obstetrics, and diphtheria to the Country Practitioner. He also editorialized, often tartly, on the tribulations of general practice and the woes of medical editors. Townsend's personal odyssey included service in a Gettysburg military hospital, a post as medical officer for an ill-fated engineering expedition in the deep Amazon, and his death in Montana following frostbite while on a medical call.

Book Synopsis General Joseph Bloomfield by : Donald Johnstone Peck
Download or read book General Joseph Bloomfield written by Donald Johnstone Peck and published by Flying Camp Press. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A longtime leader of the New Jersey Society for the Abolition of Slavery, and founder of Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party in New Jersey, to this day General Joseph Bloomfield is regarded as Woodbridge, New Jersey's most illustrious citizen. The great-grandson of a founding family of the oldest chartered township in the state, Joseph Bloomfield was both a lawyer and soldier, but his elite background and Revolutionary War service quickly propelled him into political leadership, and in time he was elected governor. As the narrative of Bloomfield's life unfolds, the reader steps back in time to trying political, religious and social issues faced by the founders of the State of New Jersey and the United States of America. Strongly influenced and driven to action by the religious enthusiasm of the Presbyterian Church and its political agenda based on rights, General Bloomfield served with distinction in George Washington's Flying Camp. During the course of the war he participated in the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth, and endured harsh conditions at both Morristown and Valley Forge. After a period of indecision, General Bloomfield emerged as one of a few genuine "landed aristocrats" in New Jersey who was willing to join the Jefferson cause, as opposed to the Federalist Party. As governor he used his moral and political leadership to initiate the gradual emancipation of slavery in New Jersey with his signing of the Gradual Emancipation Act of 1804. He later served with distinction in the War of 1812 and was twice elected to the United States House of Representatives.
