Book excerpt: From author Erica Sandifer comes Sunshine in the Delta, a tale of life and love and everything in between, set in the Mississippi Delta during the early 1960s. Money, Mississippi, just beyond the Tallahatchie River, the town is a vast, flat land with fields of corn and cotton, split in half by the long and dusty Money Road. Right alongside the road in an old shack, lives Miss Neeyla Jean, along with her six younger siblings, a mean-spirited mother, and a blatantly belligerent father. Because of her parent's tumultuous relationship, Neeyla is responsible for caring for her siblings. As a result, she leaves school at the age of fourteen to find a job. It is then that her beautiful--but mischievous--older cousin, Reena, finds her a job housecleaning at the Bakers. Neeyla begins working for Mrs. Baker and her handsome, blue-eyed son, Henry. When Neeyla loses her younger brother to a train accident, further dividing her family, her bond with Mrs. Baker allows her to cope--and the friendship they share teaches her important life-long lessons along the way. Miss Neeyla Jean becomes the very definition of the word triumph, overcoming obstacle after obstacle, and she eventually realizes an enduring fact of life: The sun will always shine brightly after the storm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clear Skies in the Delta chronicles the Sandifers as they depart from the sunshine and innocence of the Money Road. Neeyla the main character is coming of age with a baby girl in tow. She learns not only survival and independence as she and her siblings adjust to their new way of life in Greenwood, but she also learns hard lessons about life and love as well. Neeyla, with the aid of the family's matriarch, her mother Carrie, adapts to life in the Mississippi Delta as they take up residence around various places in town. The family initially settles on the edge of town in East Greenwood where the fragrant honeysuckles grow plentiful in deep ditches surrounded by mounds of plush green clover grass. The homes resemble "tiny matchboxes with the windows cut out" but inhabit myriads of hospitable souls. Here we find Neeyla's journey of self-discovery begins where she explores the depth and fiber of her surrounding through the eyes of both her family and her child. Later, as Neeyla begins her true walk towards independence, she truly learns the lessons of a lifetime about marriage and the "for better" or "for worse" it often entails while she raises her only child. After a fatal stab at romance, Neeyla quietly matures into a new kind of independence while working as a Nurse's assistant when she moves with her daughter to the worst part of town GP (Gangsta's Paradise). However, this otherwise impoverished environment provides the perfect stimuli to create a purposeful canvas for her now teenage daughter to emerge from the depths of degradation and despair. Tracy excels as an honor student, visual artist, and later earns a full scholarship to college. It is at this point that Neeyla herself begins to fulfill the matriarchal role as Tracy Lynn's voice becomes more prominent in the novel as she is now coming of age herself. Neeyla and her Cousin, Reena Sandifer soon become reaqauinted, and we find that Reena has chosen a life of success as a college professor and the wife of a Nigerin ophthalmologist. However, she is still the same fast tail Reena and is as buck wild as ever. After Tracy's graduation, Reena returns home from Illinois during the Christmas holidays, and the family is met with a stunning surprise. Reena and her husband Adebiyi are returning to Lagos, Africa for the summer, and Reena has decided to take Tracy Lynn back with them to help teach the Yorubi children English. Neeyal becomes both incensed and enraged. "You ain't taking my child to no Africa with all them wild...animals roaming around. Find you something else to do like spend that mane's money." After a time of self-reflection and a cry of independence from Tracy, Neeyla relinquishes her overprotectiveness of her daughterand concedes to Reena'a wishes. Later in July, after Tracy's first year of college, the scenery shifts to the picturesque city of Lagos, Adebiyi's hometown. Here we are presented with a host of characters as sunny as the town itself. Fatima, Adebiyi's older sister, embraces Tracy from the moment she lays eyes on her and takes it on herself to teach her both custom and cuisine. Lotus, the housekeeper, is loaded with biting wit as so causes chaos for no apparent reason. Finally, Amir who is Reena's personal driver, among other things, has his own share of skeletons in the closet with Reena's as we ultimately learn that all is not fair in love and war. Near the end of the story, we witness the naming of Amir's wife Adeaze's twin sons during the Naming Ceremony where Reena finds herself caught in the middle of a vicious love triangle and call home to Neelyla for advice.

Download or read book Solar Radiation and Daylight Models written by Tariq Muneer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-03-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cost of operating a building far exceeds the cost of constructing it, and yet until recently little attention was paid to the impact of solar radiation on the costs of heating, cooling and ventilation. And now that there has been a surge in interest in energy efficiency and solar design, architects and designers need a practical guide to the modelling and application of solar energy data. There are many different models and techniques available for calculating the distribution of solar radiation on and in buildings, and these algorithms vary considerably in scope, accuracy and complexity. This book demonstrates which of these predictive tools gives the best results in different circumstances, including explaining which models can be best used in different parts of the world. The author has had over twenty-five years of experience of dealing with solar energy data from four continents and has used that experience in this book to show the development not just of knowledge but also the growing sophistication of the models available to apply it.

This book was released on 1996-04-11 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What activities might a teacher use to help children explore the life cycle of butterflies? What does a science teacher need to conduct a "leaf safari" for students? Where can children safely enjoy hands-on experience with life in an estuary? Selecting resources to teach elementary school science can be confusing and difficult, but few decisions have greater impact on the effectiveness of science teaching. Educators will find a wealth of information and expert guidance to meet this need in Resources for Teaching Elementary School Science. A completely revised edition of the best-selling resource guide Science for Children: Resources for Teachers, this new book is an annotated guide to hands-on, inquiry-centered curriculum materials and sources of help in teaching science from kindergarten through sixth grade. (Companion volumes for middle and high school are planned.) The guide annotates about 350 curriculum packages, describing the activities involved and what students learn. Each annotation lists recommended grade levels, accompanying materials and kits or suggested equipment, and ordering information. These 400 entries were reviewed by both educators and scientists to ensure that they are accurate and current and offer students the opportunity to: Ask questions and find their own answers. Experiment productively. Develop patience, persistence, and confidence in their own ability to solve real problems. The entries in the curriculum section are grouped by scientific area--Life Science, Earth Science, Physical Science, and Multidisciplinary and Applied Science--and by type--core materials, supplementary materials, and science activity books. Additionally, a section of references for teachers provides annotated listings of books about science and teaching, directories and guides to science trade books, and magazines that will help teachers enhance their students' science education. Resources for Teaching Elementary School Science also lists by region and state about 600 science centers, museums, and zoos where teachers can take students for interactive science experiences. Annotations highlight almost 300 facilities that make significant efforts to help teachers. Another section describes more than 100 organizations from which teachers can obtain more resources. And a section on publishers and suppliers give names and addresses of sources for materials. The guide will be invaluable to teachers, principals, administrators, teacher trainers, science curriculum specialists, and advocates of hands-on science teaching, and it will be of interest to parent-teacher organizations and parents.
