  • Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry
    ROLL OF THUNDER HEAR MY CRY MILDRED D. TAYLOR NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER Author's Note My father was a master storyteller. He could tell a fine old story that made me hold my sides with rolling laughter and sent happy tears down my cheeks, or a story of stark reality that made me shiver and be grateful for my own warm, secure surroundings. He could tell stories of beauty and grace, stories of gentle dreams, and paint them as vividly as any picture with splashes of character and dialogue. His memory detailed every event of ten or forty years or more before, just as if it had happened yesterday. By the fireside in our northern home or in the South where I was born, I learned a history not then written in books but one passed from generation to generation on the steps of moonlit porches and beside dying fires in one-room houses, a history of great-grandparents and of slavery and of the days following slavery: of those who lived still not free, yet who would not let their spirits be enslaved. From my father the storyteller I learned to respect the past, to respect my own heritage and myself. From my father the man I learned even more, for he was endowed with a special grace that made him tower above other men. He was warm and steadfast, a man whose principles would not bend, and he had within him a rare strength that sustained not only my sister and me and all the family but all those who sought his advice and leaned upon his wisdom.

  • The Thing Around Your Neck
    ALSO BY CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE Half of a Yellow Sun Purple Hibiscus For Ivara CONTENTS Cell One Imitation A Private Experience Ghosts On Monday of Last Week Jumping Monkey Hill The Thing Around Your Neck The American Embassy The Shivering The Arrangers of Marriage Tomorrow Is Too Far The Headstrong Historian CELL ONE he rst time our house was robbed, it was our neighbor Osita who climbed in through Tthe dining room window and stole our TV, our VCR, and the Purple Rain and Thriller videotapes my father had brought back from America. The second time our house was robbed, it was my brother Nnamabia who faked a break-in and stole my mother’s jewelry. It happened on a Sunday. My parents had traveled to our hometown, Mbaise, to visit our grandparents, so Nnamabia and I went to church alone. He drove my mother’s green Peugeot 504. We sat together in church as we usually did, but we did not nudge each other and stie giggles about somebody’s ugly hat or threadbare caftan, because Nnamabia left without a word after about ten minutes. He came back just before the priest said, “The Mass is ended. Go in peace.” I was a little piqued. I imagined he had gone o to smoke and to see some girl, since he had the car to himself for once, but he could at least have told me where he was going. We drove home in silence and, when he parked in our long driveway, I stopped to pluck some ixora owers while Nnamabia unlocked the front door.

  • The Life of James Clerk Maxwell by Lewis Campbell and William Garnett
    THE LIFE OF JAMES CLERK MAXWELL WITH A SELECTION FROM HIS CORRESPONDENCE AND OCCASIONAL WRITINGS AND A SKETCH OF HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO SCIENCE BY LEWIS CAMPBELL, M.A., LL.D. PROFESSOR OF GREEK IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREWS AND WILLIAM GARNETT, M.A. LATE FELLOW OF ST. JOHN S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE PROFESSOR OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY IN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, NOTTINGHAM WITH THREE STEEL PORTRAITS, COLOURED PLATES, ETC. London MACMILLAN AND CO. 1882 ii © copyright 1997 Sonnet Software, Inc., all rights reserved. And SO thou wast made perfect! Not a friend Might step between thee and the sore distress Which thou with strong and patient godliness Enduredst uncomplaining to the end. Heroic saint! Bright sufferer! Thou dost lend To science a new glory. Midst the press Of boasters, all thy meek-eyed fame confess, And worldlings thine unworldliness commend. Shine on, pure spirit! Though we see thee not, Even in thy passage thou hast purged away The fogs of earth-born doubt and sense-bound thought From hearts that followed thine all-piercing ray. And while thou soarest far from human view, Even thy faint image shall our strength renew. iii © copyright 1997 Sonnet Software, Inc., all rights reserved. PREFACE TO THE 1997 DIGITAL PRESERVATION (Second Edition, 1999) Friday the thirteenth of December 1996 was a lucky day. Daylight, such as it was, found me traveling south from Syracuse on Route 81 in a cold windy rain. I was going to visit an old friend from Cornell, L. Pearce Williams, Professor Emeritus, History of Science and Technology, Cornell University. I had spent the previous several weeks searching library catalogs on the Internet for a copy of The Life of James Clerk Maxwell by Lewis Campbell and William Garnett.
