Destination: Tamakwa Territory

By: Phyllis A. Harrison

The world is in turmoil, the future uncertain, the present dangerous. Securing a better future requires desperate measures and the fortitude to see it through. Europe's political landscape in 1643 has become too dangerous for fugitive Giles Montroville to continue living in the city of Amsterdam. Nearby European countries have been unable to provide safe haven for him. He needs to find a fast route to safety for himself aqnd his young family. When he is offered the chance to emigrate to New Amsterdam and work for the West India Company. Giles seizes the opportunity. Given the difficult and violent conditions in the colony, it seems more an act of insanity or desperation that self-preservation. Mannahatta Island far enough away to offer a chance of survival and the possibility of future wealth. Great fortunes have already been made by a few from the bounty of the foreign wilderness, especially from the pelts of the beaver, the "tamakwa" as they called in the language of some of the indigenous people on the new continent. Giles knows that the journey will be long and arduous and there will be hard work ahead of them after they get there, but the voyage proves to be longer and more difficult than he imagined. Challenges arise that he has not foreseen, both during the voyage and waiting for them in the new land. His strength of will is tested as he battles incidents on the journey and his own fears. Determination and willpower are needed just to keep Giles believing that they will reach their destination safely and that the future will bring them security along with a new life.

The Beginning and End of John Jefferson High School

Preserving the History of Success Despite Segregation

By: Phyllis Hogan

Nothing—I mean nothing—could stand in the way of achieving my goal of preserving the history of success despite the challenges of segregation at John Jefferson High School. It didn’t matter that my resources were very limited. There was a sense of urgency! I believe God chose a “little nobody” like me to preserve this history before it is lost forever. Writing this book was no easy task; however, the research was an amazing experience. In the beginning, some former students were reluctant to talk and to share their few treasured pictures with me. On the other hand, some were excited to share. When I started on this journey, I didn’t have a computer. Also, because of arthritis, I would often have to straighten my fingers and continue to write. Pain was ignored; I was on my unstoppable mission. Another challenge I met was dealing with my job. At times, I would get so exhausted that I would have to stop working on the book for a while. When graduates finally opened up, they would talk to me on the telephone for hours. They could not stop talking. An additional problem was limited funds. I had to use paper from my old school and work tablets to handwrite information. Finally, I knew that I would need help with typing and editing, and God blessed me with Mrs. Deanna Issac, Dr. Nanthalia McJamerson, and Dr. Gwendolyn Duhon. I had faith that I could accomplish this task, this mission. Now, the rest is history.

Santa Claus, Last of the Wild Men

The Origins and Evolution of Saint Nicholas, Spanning 50,000 Years

By: Phyllis Siefker

Much of the modern-day vision of Santa Claus is owed to the Clement Moore poem "The Night Before Christmas." His description of Saint Nicholas personified the "jolly old elf" known to millions of children throughout the world. However, far from being the offshoot of Saint Nicholas of Turkey, Santa Claus is the last of a long line of what scholars call "Wild Men" who were worshipped in ancient European fertility rites and came to America through Pennsylvania's Germans. This pagan creature is described from prehistoric times through his various forms--Robin Hood, The Fool, Harlequin, Satan and Robin Goodfellow--into today's carnival and Christmas scenes. In this thoroughly researched work, the origins of Santa Claus are found to stretch back over 50,000 years, jolting the foundation of Christian myths about the jolly old elf.

High Performance Liquid Chromatography & Capillary Electrophoresis

Principles and Practices

By: Andrea Weston,Phyllis R. Brown

HPLC and CE: Principles and Practice presents the latest information on the most powerful separation techniques available: high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Fundamental theory, instrumentation, modes of operation, and optimization of separations are presented in a concise, non-technical style to help the user in choosing the appropriate technique quickly and accurately. Well- illustrated and containing convenientend-of-chapter summaries of the major concepts, the book provides in-depth coverage of trouble-shooting, improvement of resolution, data manipulation, selectivity, and sensitivity.Graduate students, technicians, and researchers who must use separations with little or no background in analytical chemistry can overcome separation anxiety and get started in obtaining the best possible separations in minimal time. The book will alsobe useful to analytical chemists who need a better understanding of theory and processes. - Fully up-to-date information on both HPLC and CE includes troubleshooting and comparisons of the two techniques - Applicable to a wide variety of separation problems - Covers basic concepts governing any separation as well as instrumentation and how to use it - Helps the user to obtain optimal resolution in minimal time - Contains information on special procedures such as chiral separations, affinity chromatography, and sample preparation - Includes information on upcoming trends such as miniaturization - Major concepts in each chapter are organized to allow access to information easily and quickly - Contains practical bibliography for accessing the literature
