Thomas Day

Master Craftsman and Free Man of Color

By: Patricia Phillips Marshall,Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll

Marshall and Leimenstoll have researched Day's remarkable life and work thoroughly, identifying a great quantity of his known and attributed furniture and interior woodwork, finding myriad published sources for his design elements, and examining a wide range of documents to trace his career and describe his world. Their research, along with the wealth of images of Day's unique furniture and interiors, constitutes a book of major, lasting value. "Catherine Bishir, author of North Carolina Architecture "This book, featuring the story and workmanship of Thomas Day, a free man of color in slaveholding North Carolina, is a fascinating addition to the corpus of literature concerning the anomalies and complexities of life in the Old South. A slaveholder as well as a skilled craftsman, Thomas Day occupied an unusual and privileged position. These fine illustrations of his craftsmanship help to explain why. "Daniel c. Littlefield, University of South Carolina "Thomas Day's creative genius, his skill in the design and fabrication of furniture and decorative woodwork, and the scope of his business establish him as a major founder of the North Carolina furniture industry.

Bitterroot

The Life and Death of Meriwether Lewis

By: Patricia Tyson Stroud

Through a retelling of Lewis's life, from his resourceful youth to the brilliance of his leadership and accomplishments as a man, Patricia Tyson Stroud shows that Jefferson's unsubstantiated claim of his protégé's suicide is the long-held bitter root at the heart of the Meriwether Lewis story.

Native Providence

By: Patricia E. Rubertone

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Native Providence

Memory, Community, and Survivance in the Northeast

By: Patricia E. Rubertone

2021 Choice Outstanding Academic Title A city of modest size, Providence, Rhode Island, had the third-largest Native American population in the United States by the first decade of the twentieth century. Native Providence tells the stories of the city's Native residents at this historical moment and in the decades before and after, a time when European Americans claimed that Northeast Natives had mostly vanished. Denied their rightful place in modernity, men, women, and children from Narragansett, Nipmuc, Pequot, Wampanoag, and other ancestral communities traveled diverse and complicated routes to make their homes in this city. They found each other, carved out livelihoods, and created neighborhoods that became their urban homelands--new places of meaningful attachments. Accounts of individual lives and family histories emerge from historical and anthropological research in archives, government offices, historical societies, libraries, and museums and from community memories, geography, and landscape. Patricia E. Rubertone chronicles the survivance of the Native people who stayed, left, and returned, or lived in Providence briefly, who faced involuntary displacement by urban renewal, and who made their presence known in this city and in the wider Indigenous and settler-colonial worlds. Their everyday experiences reenvision Providence's past and illuminate documentary and spatial tactics of inequality that erased Native people from most nineteenth- and early twentieth-century history.

Justice Rising

Robert Kennedy’s America in Black and White

By: Patricia Sullivan

“In most accounts of the tumultuous 1960s, Robert Kennedy plays a supporting role...Sullivan corrects this and puts RFK near the center of the nation’s struggle for racial justice.” —Richard Thompson Ford, Washington Post “A profound and uplifting account of Robert F. Kennedy’s brave crusade for racial equality. This is narrative history at its absolute finest.” —Douglas Brinkley, author of Rosa Parks “A sobering analysis of the forces arrayed against advocates of racial justice. Desegregation suits took years to move through the courts. Ballot access was controlled by local officials...Justice Rising reminds us that although he was assassinated over 50 years ago, Kennedy remains relevant.” —Glenn C. Altschuler, Florida Courier “A groundbreaking book that reorients our understanding of a surprisingly underexplored aspect of Robert Kennedy’s life and career—race and civil rights—and sheds new light on race relations during a pivotal era of American history.” —Kenneth Mack, author of Representing the Race “Brilliant and beautifully written...could hardly be more timely.” —Daniel Geary, Irish Times Race and politics converged in the 1960s in ways that indelibly changed America. This landmark reconsideration of Robert Kennedy’s life and legacy reveals how, as the nation confronted escalating demands for racial justice, RFK grasped the moment to emerge as a transformational leader. Intertwining Kennedy’s story with the Black freedom struggles of the 1960s, Justice Rising provides a fresh account of the changing political alignments that marked the decade. As Attorney General, Kennedy personally interceded to enforce desegregation rulings and challenge voter restrictions in the South. Morally committed to change, he was instrumental in creating the bipartisan coalition essential to passing the 1964 Civil Rights Act. After his brother’s assassination, his commitment took on a new urgency when cities emerged as the major front in the long fight for racial justice. On the night of Martin Luther King’s assassination, two months before he would himself be killed, his anguished appeal captured the hopes of a turbulent decade: “In this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of nation we are and what direction we want to move in.” It is a question that remains urgent and unanswered.

Maximizing Effectiveness in Dynamic Psychotherapy

By: Patricia Coughlin

The best therapists embody the changes they attempt to facilitate in their patients. In other words, they practice what they preach and are an authentic and engaged, as well as highly skilled, presence. Maximizing Effectiveness in Dynamic Psychotherapy demonstrates how and why therapists can and must develop the specific skills and personal qualities required to produce consistently effective results. The six factors now associated with brain change and positive outcome in psychotherapy are front and center in this volume. Each factor is elucidated and illustrated with detailed, verbatim case transcripts. In addition, intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy, a method of treatment that incorporates all these key factors, is introduced to the reader. Therapists of every stripe will learn to develop and integrate the clinical skills presented in this book to improve their interventions, enhance effectiveness and, ultimately, help more patients in a deeper and more lasting fashion.

When a Congregation Is Betrayed

Responding to Clergy Misconduct

By: Candace R. Benyei,E. Larraine Frampton,Nancy Myer Hopkins,Patricia L. Liberty,Deborah J. Pope-Lance

Other books have been written about clergy misconduct and its effects on congregations. Some are by victims. Others are written by professionals for a professional audience. Until now, however, there hasn't been a book for the congregational leaders who must deal with the fallout of clergy misconduct. Both the afterpastors--the interim or settled pastors who follow misconducting pastors--and lay leaders need guidance about how to assess and effectively respond to the misconduct, how to care for the victim/survivor, and how to carry out the mission and ministry to which the congregation has been called.

Nature's Paintbox

A Seasonal Gallery of Art and Verse

By: Patricia Thomas

How would you capture winter’s crispness, spring’s softness, summer’s freshness, and autumn’s richness? In this inspiring title, poet Patricia Thomas imagines each season rendered in a different art medium. Pen and ink, with spots of color, capture winter’s mood, while pastel chalks make spring flowers bloom into life. The see-through hues of watercolors celebrate summer’s warmth, while vibrant oils perfectly paint fall’s majestic scenes. Artist Craig Orback takes up the poem’s challenge in his marvelous illustrations, using each of the mediums described. Just as the seasons move seamlessly into one another, so too do the art styles blend together, then emerge in full splendor, and blend again as the next season approaches.

What Ever Happened to Ratsy Patsy?

By: Patricia Thomas

BOOK SUMMARY What Ever Happened to Ratsy Patsy? is a collection of true happenings in the lives of Patricia, her husband, her children and their children. Some of these stories are actually life and death situations from which Almighty God spared those involved. Some stories are heart rendering, some are like watching a thriller on television, and some will make you smile and laugh. Enjoy! AUTHOR BIO Patricia F. Thomas was born in Edwardsville, Pennsylvania in March 1936. Her love of reading and writing began in school and continues to this day. When she was a Reading Aide a number of years ago at a local grade school teaching second and third graders, she wrote several stories for the kids. She and the children also wrote a fun Christmas play with each child having a part using hand puppets sewn by her Sister, Sharon. They presented the play for the Principal of the school and he thought it was wonderful. Patricia firmly believes education is the key to a strong foundation for life. She especially believes reading and the comprehension thereof is of the utmost importance. Her favorite past-time is, of course, reading. Patricia and her family relocated to California in the early 60's for her health and their son's health concerns. It has been a great adventure living on the west coast. Although Patricia is 74, she still works full time as an administrative assistant for a local architectural firm. Patricia has a husband, two sons, two grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. She believes having this book published will hopefully bring enlightenment, understanding and appreciation for all God does for His children.

Thomas Day

Master Craftsman and Free Man of Color

By: Patricia Phillips Marshall,Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll

Thomas Day (1801-61), a free man of color from Milton, North Carolina, became the most successful cabinetmaker in North Carolina--white or black--during a time when most blacks were enslaved and free blacks were restricted in their movements and activities. His surviving furniture and architectural woodwork still represent the best of nineteenth-century craftsmanship and aesthetics. In this lavishly illustrated book, Patricia Phillips Marshall and Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll show how Day plotted a carefully charted course for success in antebellum southern society. Beginning in the 1820s, he produced fine furniture for leading white citizens and in the 1840s and '50s diversified his offerings to produce newel posts, stair brackets, and distinctive mantels for many of the same clients. As demand for his services increased, the technological improvements Day incorporated into his shop contributed to the complexity of his designs. Day's style, characterized by undulating shapes, fluid lines, and spiraling forms, melded his own unique motifs with popular design forms, resulting in a distinctive interpretation readily identified to his shop. The photographs in the book document furniture in public and private collections and architectural woodwork from private homes not previously associated with Day. The book provides information on more than 160 pieces of furniture and architectural woodwork that Day produced for 80 structures between 1835 and 1861. Through in-depth analysis and generous illustrations, including over 240 photographs (20 in full color) and architectural photography by Tim Buchman, Marshall and Leimenstoll provide a comprehensive perspective on and a new understanding of the powerful sense of aesthetics and design that mark Day's legacy.
