Moreover, they have done so over the years from as far back as colon- ial days. Their contributions while admirable in themselveshave been all the more remarkable because what they did was oftenaccomplished in the face of discour4ng social and political harrierscreated because of their race. Still, these men were able to summon up some unusualinner resources that enabled them to makeexceptional use of their consider- able mental taknts and imagination. They discovered, created,and in- vented in the arenas of communications, transportation,industry, agri- culture, health. housing. and clothing. Mankind hasbeen benefited by their contributions. Yet despite their accomplishments,black American scientists and inventors remain largely anonymous. This book gives the stories of twelve fascinatingscientists and in- ventors of color Each of them seemed to rossess someintuitive ability t? ask ihe right questions about the natureof things and of man and then t out on a determined path to find answers.While these twelve were lected for their scitntific and inventive excellence. one noteswith in- rest that they were also fami:y men, goodcitizens, and oft( n concerned Fabout the welfare of their feliowman. No attempt has been made to present the complete sagaof black American scientists, nor to treat in detail the technical aspectsof their special fields. Rather, the intent has been to enlighten,inspire, and speak to the social need of establishing,maintaining, and improving the "good" human environment that eocourages discovery andthe full development and utilization of the talents to which this countryhas given birth. With the possibility of a world famine a frighteningthreat, and dwindling and irreplaceable hydrocarbon sources of energy a starkpossibility, our needs demand no less. Edward S. Jenkins -Ark ERNEST E. JUST Cell Physiologist 1883-1941 Edward S. Jenkins HE tall.slenderblack teenager watched the docks grow smaller as Tthe ship steamed out into the Atlantic. He could hardly beblamed for feeling a mixture of excitement and apprehe..sion as he movedfarther from his native Charleston. South Caro linErnest Everett Just had been born in that city seventeen years earlier on a hot August 14.1883,NC had almost no chance to ever know his father because the elder Just, a jock worker, had died when Ernest was only four years old. With the principal breadwinner gone. Ernest had begun to work at a tender age. laboring long, sweaty hours in the fields to help his mother support the family. Though he could not have known it at the time, even as he culti- vated the grounds and harvested the crops, he was laying a foundation for a far different life. But as hard and as willingly as he worked in the tields to help the family. Ernest applied himself even more enthusiastically to his studies. His keen mind absorbed quickly what was taught him at school, and he seemeci to possess an unending curioF;ty for more knowledge. His mother, a school teacher, recognized her son'Sacademic talents and knew that he had to have a chance for a college education. So, when at seventeen the lad completed high school in Charleston. Ernest and his mother decided he should go north for further schooling. Considering the times, this was a courageous and farsighted deci- sion. For then a high school education was looked upon as a fine accom- plishment for a black youth. Besides, there were no scholarships and little, if any, encouragement to go off to college. To make matters worse. Ernest did not even have train fare to leave Charleston. But Ernest had spent all his life in Charleston. He knew that ships were corning to and going from the docksdocks his father hadhelped build. He decided to hire himself out to one of them, earn fare to New York, and there earn enough money to enroll in college. Thus, thc mix- ture of excitement and apprehensionexcitement because he believed that what he was doing was going to lead to new experiences, new knowl- edge: apprehension because he was leaving the only life he had known family. friends, the wharves, the soiland heading into a new life, to a c.ertain degree into the unknown. At Kimball Academy Young Ernest Just arrived in New York with $5 in ,his pocket. Seek- ing information on college enrollment, he learned that his educational background was simply too impoverished for him to meet entrance re- quirements. He was told about Kimball Union Academy in New Hamp- shire where he could upgrade his background but that it would take him jimr years to get ready for college. Undaunted, Ernest found a job and worked four feverish weeks for the registration fee to attend the school. At Kimball. Ernest plunged ink) his studies in characteristic fashion aggressively and energetica:ly. The record he established there was brilliunt. He served as president of the debate society and editor of the school's paper. He completed a four-year program in three years and graduated with honors. At Dartinouth Ernest Just entered Dartmouth College in New Hampshire as he had Kimballeager to learn. At first he did nol find the institution to his lik- ing Ilecause he had expected a greater seriousness among students than he found. Also. he was a bit dismayed over what he thought was an over- emphasis on football. But when he enrolled in a coufse in biology in a class taught by the noted biologist WilliArn Patten everything chlviged. More particularly, it was the teaching of Patten and the reading of an es- say on the biological cell that stirred_ hisimagination and profoundly challenged his disciplined mind. For Just. Dartmooth had now become the place to be. He had found what he was looking for. The past and the pmsent began to come info focuS. Now he began to understand how science and the plants and ani- mals in the fields of South Carolina were united. He knew what he must become, a research biologist, specializing in cytology, meaningSpecializ- ing in the study of cells. Although much was klready known about this marvelous microsc9pic living unit. it was the unknown about the cell that spurred Ernest on. After that, he took every course in- biology Dart- mouth College had to offer. During his senior year, Ernest spent a great deal of time in undergraduate research. In 1907, four years after he en- tered Dartmouth, he received the bachelor's degree. He had been elected to the Phi Beta kappa honorary fraternity, was awardedspecial honors in history and zoology, and was the only person in his class to graduate magna cum laude (with high praise). At Howard In October 1907 Ernest 'Just went to Howard University in Wash- 'ington. D. C., to teach biology at a salary of $4(X) per year. There he plunged into his work with his usual energy and dedication. In 1912 he became head of the Biology Department at a salary of $1200 undheld that Nst until his death in 1941: In the meantime.

But not before she agreed to take a fl yer as an actress with a guest shot on the hit tele vi- sion sitcom Ugly Betty. It seemed like a harm- Aless diversion from all the drama and pressure in her life. She reasoned, how hard could it be to play herself? In the episode, Betty is dancing with her husband at their wedding when the couple is suddenly interrupted by Adele. Th ere is some harmless banter and the next thing we know Adele is up on stage singing the song “Right As Rain.” Adele realized that that kind of promotion in America was well worth the eff ort, but would later acknowledge in Vogue that the Ugly Betty experience cured her of any future acting aspirations. “I can’t watch it. I was so uncomfortable. I am the worst actress of all time.” But Adele was thankful for the momentary respite from Marc Shapiro her day job as singer-songwriter on the rise.

  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.

  • Interdisciplinary Convergences with Biology and Ethics Via Cell Biologist Ernest Everett Just and Astrobiologist Sir Fred Hoyle
    Interdisciplinary Convergences with Biology and Ethics via Cell Biologist Ernest Everett Just and Astrobiologist Sir Fred Hoyle Theodore Walker Jr. Biology and ethics (general bioethics) can supplement panpsychism and panentheism. According to cell biologist Ernest Everett Just (1883-1941) ethi- cal behaviors (observable indicators of decision-making, teleology, and psy- chology) evolved from our very most primitive origins in cells. Hence, for an essential portion of the panpsychist spectrum, from cells to humans, ethical behavior is natural and necessary for evolutionary advances. Also, biology- based mind-body-cell analogy (Hartshorne 1984) can illuminate panenthe- ism. And, consistent with panpsychism, astrobiologist/cosmic biologist Sir Fred Hoyle (1915-2001) extends evolutionary biology and life-favoring teleology be- yond planet Earth (another Copernican revolution) via theories of stellar evo- lution, cometary panspermia, and cosmic evolution guided by (finely tuned by) providential cosmic intelligence, theories consistent with a panentheist natural theology that justifies ethical realism. * This deliberation is a significant reworking of »Advancing and Challenging Classical Theism with Biology and Bioethics: Astrobiology and Cosmic Biology consistent with Theology,« a 10 August 2017 paper presented at the Templeton Foundation funded international confer- ence on Analytic Theology and the Nature of God: Advancing and Challenging Classical Theism (7-12 August 2017) at Hochschule für Philosophie München [Munich School of Philosophy] at Fürstenried Palace, Exerzitienhaus Schloss Fürstenried, in Munich, DE— Germany.

  • Celebrates 25 Years. 25Th Anniversary Collector’S Edition Dear Students, Educators,And Friends
    South Carolina African American History Calendar Celebrates 25 Years. 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Dear Students, Educators,and Friends, One of the highlights of my year is the unveiling of the new African American History Calendar, for it is always a wonderful time of renewing friendships, connecting with new acquaintances, and honoring a remarkable group of South Carolinians. This year is even more exciting, for the 2014 calendar is our 25th Anniversary Edition! For a quarter of a century, the Calendar project has celebrated the lives, leadership, and experiences of gifted people who have shaped who we are as a State and as South Carolinians. Initially developed as a resource for teachers as they include African American history in their classroom curriculum, the Calendar has become a virtual Hall of Fame, combining recognition with education and drawing online visitors from around the globe. Thus far, 297 African Americans with South Carolina roots have been featured on the Calendar’s pages. They represent a wide array of endeavors, including government and military service, education, performing and fine arts, business, community activism, and athletics. They hail from every corner of the state, from rural communities to our largest cities. And each has made a difference for people and for their communities. The Calendar, with its supporting educational materials, has always been designed to help students understand that history is about people and their actions, not simply dates or places. While previous editions have focused on individuals, the 25th Anniversary Edition spotlights 12 milestone events in South Carolina’s African American History. Driven by men and women of courage and conviction, these events helped lay the foundation for who we are today as a State and who we can become.

During deglaciation from 21-7.5 ka BP, and owing to the interactions of ice margin positions, crustal rebound and regional topography, this basin was much more widely connected hydrologi- cally, draining by various routes to the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, and receiving over- ~ flows from lakes impounded north and west of the Great Lakes-Hudson Bay drainage divide. /~ Early ice-marginal lakes formed by impoundment between the Laurentide Ice Sheet and the southern margin of the basin during recessions to interstadial positions at 15.5 and 13.2 ka BE In ~ ~i each of these recessions, lake drainage was initially southward to the Mississippi River and Gulf of ~ Mexico.
