Download or read book Lucy s Legacy written by Dr. Donald Johanson and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Lucy is a 3.2-million-year-old skeleton who has become the spokeswoman for human evolution. She is perhaps the best known and most studied fossil hominid of the twentieth century, the benchmark by which other discoveries of human ancestors are judged.”–From Lucy’s Legacy In his New York Times bestseller, Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind, renowned paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson told the incredible story of his discovery of a partial female skeleton that revolutionized the study of human origins. Lucy literally changed our understanding of our world and who we come from. Since that dramatic find in 1974, there has been heated debate and–most important–more groundbreaking discoveries that have further transformed our understanding of when and how humans evolved. In Lucy’s Legacy, Johanson takes readers on a fascinating tour of the last three decades of study–the most exciting period of paleoanthropologic investigation thus far. In that time, Johanson and his colleagues have uncovered a total of 363 specimens of Australopithecus afarensis (Lucy’s species, a transitional creature between apes and humans), spanning 400,000 years. As a result, we now have a unique fossil record of one branch of our family tree–that family being humanity–a tree that is believed to date back a staggering 7 million years. Focusing on dramatic new fossil finds and breakthrough advances in DNA research, Johanson provides the latest answers that post-Lucy paleoanthropologists are finding to questions such as: How did Homo sapiens evolve? When and where did our species originate? What separates hominids from the apes? What was the nature of Neandertal and modern human encounters? What mysteries about human evolution remain to be solved? Donald Johanson is a passionate guide on an extraordinary journey from the ancient landscape of Hadar, Ethiopia–where Lucy was unearthed and where many other exciting fossil discoveries have since been made–to a seaside cave in South Africa that once sheltered early members of our own species, and many other significant sites. Thirty-five years after Lucy, Johanson continues to enthusiastically probe the origins of our species and what it means to be human.

Download or read book The Randolph Ward and Persis Sowl Legacy Volume I written by Mary Ward MacDonald and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Ward and George Soule arrived in America in the early 1600's. Eventually, in 1849, their family lines merged with the marriage of Randolph Ward and Persis Sowl. This is not a family with a glorious past, filled with famous people. Instead, it is and was composed of ordinary human beings who tended, overall, to work hard and live good lives . The families that descended from the 1849 marriage, especially two of its lines, had more than their share of tragedies, including horrendous deaths and even a few murders. The author's research and analysis of the findings helped clarify and, in some cases, correct family lore that, like the telephone game, led to distortions or erroneous stories through the years. In 1858, Randolph and Persis Ward moved from Attica, Wyoming County, NY, to Montague, Muskegon County, MI, with their three oldest children: Solon, John Marian, and Anson. There, three additional children were born: Dennis, Morris, and Mary Lucretia (Grace to the family). The marriage of Randolph Ward and Persis Sowl was not happy, nor did it endure. Their divorce in November 1865 was only the second to come before the Chancery (Circuit) Court in Muskegon County. Divorce at that time was both rare and shocking, and this divorce was no exception. Its ramifications affected their six children, the last of whom was born after the divorce, as well as the next generations. Their descendants suffered more than its share of tragedies, including divorce (before they were common), drownings, fatal fires, disease, premature deaths of parents, a train accident, and, yes, even a few murders. Today, only a few descendants live in Muskegon County; the rest have scattered throughout Michigan, Florida, the Midwest, and the East and West coasts; none could be found in Wyoming County, NY. But today, in spite of these heartbreaks, their descendants number well into the hundreds, partly due to advances in medicine, better worker safety, improved fire prevention, and other advances in the 20th and 21st Centuries. The largest portion of the book is about the generations that lived between 1849 and 1949, simply because more material and pictures are available for these generations then those that preceded them and because documents for the period after 1949 are not available, either because they have not been released (detailed information from Federal census reports are not released until 72 years after enumeration) or because the data concerning living generations is too sensitive, particularly in terms of today's identity theft concerns. However, where provided, there are pictures and information about the current generations. The size of the book necessitated publishing it in two volumes. The Randolph Ward and Persis Sowl Legacy, Volume I, follows the Ward and Soule histories from their arrival in America and continues through the lives of the six children of Persis and Randolph. It also includes the stories about the descendants of the five younger children: John M., Anson, Dennis, Morris, and Mary L. (Grace). The Randolph Ward and Persis Sowl Legacy, Volume II, tells about the descendants of Solon Ward, including the lines that merged into the family, such as the Stones, Nichols, and Mongeaus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments and researchers from industrial countries have been measuring science and technology for more than seventy years. This book provides an historical examination of official science and technology statistics and indicators in Western countries and addresses the following questions: What were the main historical moments that led to the development of statistics on science and technology? What were the main socio-political stakes behind the activities of science measurement? What were the philosophical and ideological conceptions that drove measurement? What statistics and indicators were developed and how were they constructed? The first part of the book concentrates on the construction and development of science and technology statistics from 1930 to the present, the principles at work, and the vested interests and forces behind that construction. The second part analyzes to what uses statistics were put, and with how much confidence actors used statistics to document their case or to promote their political agenda.

Download or read book A Legacy Remembered written by Ann Noling and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Medford, Massachusetts has been home to a thriving African American community, where families have lived for generations since the end of the Civil War. The stories of its residents have been fading as elders die and families move away. Most of the history of this neighborhood resides within the memories of these few remaining elders. The discovery of over one hundred funeral programs, saved and collected by residents since the mid-twentieth century, tell the stories of residents who have passed on but made countless contributions to the community. These funeral programs, along with supplemental interviews, illustrate how past residents developed community resources and used ingenuity to help create a strong neighborhood of their own. Within these pages are stories of personal perseverance and tenacity, humor and resiliency. Through portraits of individuals, West Medfords African-American neighborhood of the past is documented, through the sharing of the lives of men and women, and how they interfaced to create a solid community, despite societal and economic obstacles.

Download or read book The Contradictions of the Legacy of Brown V Board of Education Topeka 1954 written by Dianne Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that separate school facilities were inherently unequal and thus unconstitutional and illegal. Today, 50 years after this landmark decision, much debate surrounds the efficacy of the ruling, particularly for its impact on the education of children of color in U.S. schools. In reality, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, was never solely about education; neither did the case include only plaintiffs from Topeka. Both points are important to note as we reflect on the legacy of Brown a half century after the ruling. This journal offers articles, an interview, book reviews and a media review around this area.
