A True Storyteller...
After finishing Morrow's book, I can truly say he is a wonderful storyteller in the most traditional African manner. I thoroughly enjoyed his candor, his rhythm, his honesty, his humor! Nana Morrow is for "real" and represents African American literature (as narrative) very well. It is not surprising that he was able to pull off so many antics with reciprocal respect and collaboration. He is what Fela might call an "African man, Original"! His love for women was refreshing especially during this age of female-bashing by some African American comedians. He loves women and what women represent to many men on both sides of the Atlantic. As he weaved his stories, I felt like I was there; and it helped to be familiar with some of his locales and behaviors of the locals. I sat back and enjoyed the stories. Thank you Nana for being "real"; not intellectual; not touristy, but genuinely in love with African life!!!! While I know I would never have the courage to follow in your footsteps, I thank the Ancestors for your allowing we "armchair" explorers to join you in a wonderful adventure!

WAR, AND THE AFTERMATH
THE AFTERMATH:
Following my four years tour of duty (one in Korea and 2, 1/2 in
Japan)
my quest for self discovery, begins with my introduction to
nationalism in New York City during the cultural revolution of the
early 1960s. Disillusioned with the social and political situation
that prevailed at that time, I moved to Accra, Ghana with less than
$300.00 and a vow to make a new home for myself. My Sankofa
concentrates on my eleven years (1965 to 1976) living, working and
traveling in Ghana, Togo and the Ivory Coast".

MY SANKOFA; is a must read for every African American.

my sankofa
This book was inspirational. It was so inspirational I visited Ghana on a vacation. I found Agogo and it was heart warming. I would suggest any reader with the interest in Africa visit this country. Also, one could make friends with the people and share their culture. Too often we stay at home and miss the world. I would like to thank the writer for such a venture to the motherland.

A Very Exciting and Interesting Account
This book is an exciting and interesting account of an African-American who "returned" to the land of his ancestors - West Africa - at a time when most of the world believed that Africa was a land covered entirely by jungles and inhabited by primitive people.I traveled to West Africa at about the time this author was returning to the US.It was both a spiritual and historical journey that still affects me and will affect me for the rest of my life.It is a must read for anyone who wants to know the real Africa beyond the animal stories of the Safari travelers and the depressing troubling stories in today's news.

From the author: Distance run tests are often used to estimate peak oxygen uptake (peak V|O.sub.2~) in children. This study examined the concurrent validity of a 20-min steady-state jog (20MSSJ). The sample consisted of 43 boys and 32 girls who performed a 20MSSJ and completed a maximal treadmill test 1 week later. Peak V|O.sub.2~ was measured by indirect calorimetry. Subject characteristics were as follows: boys, mean age = 15.1 |+ or -~ 1.0 years, mean peak V|O.sub.2~ = 46.4 |+ or -~ 7.7 ml|kg.sup.-1~|min.sup.-1~, mean 20MSSJ = 2.3 |+ or -~ 0.5 miles; girls, mean age = 15.3 |+ or -~ 1.1 years, mean peak V|O.sub.2~ = 40.4 |+ or -~ 5.1 ml|kg.sup.-1~|min.sup.-1~, mean 20MSSJ = 2.1 |+ or -~ 0.5 miles. The correlation between 20MSSJ and peak V|O.sub.2~ was .68 across boys and girls. The regression slopes of the boys and girls were common, but the intercepts differed, F (1, 72) = 10.9, p |is less than~ .05. The influence of weight and skinfold fat was examined. Separate models were developed, and the R for each was increased to .79 (SEE = 4.45 ml|kg.sup.-1~|min.sup.-1~) for the model using weight and .80 (SEE = 4.36 ml|kg.sup.-1~|min.sup.-1~ for the model using sum of skinfolds. The regression equations are as follows: peak V|O.sub.2~ = 35.10 + 6.19 (Run) + 2.96 (Gender) - 0.26 (Skinfold fat) peak V|O.sub.2~ = 33.94 + 7.64 (Run) + 5.84 (Gender) - 0.18 (Weight) (Run = 20MSSJ performance in miles; Gender: females = 0, males = 1; Skinfold fat = sum of two-site skinfolds in mm; Weight = body weight in kg). These data demonstrate that the 20MSSJ is a valid index of peak V|O.sub.2~ in adolescents and can be used to estimate the peak V|O.sub.2~ of boys and girls with accuracy similar to that which is obtained with other prediction models.

From the supplier: The validity of the 20-minute steady-state jog (20MSSJ) as a measure of maximal oxygen uptake in adolescents was tested. In addition, the effects of gender, body weight, age, height and body composition on the test was examined. The results showed that 20MMSSJ is a valid index of peak maximum oxygen uptake. Although 20MSSJ can be used to predict oxygen uptake, a model must take into consideration the effects of gender, body weight and skinfold fat for more accurate estimates.

From the supplier: An evaluation is presented on two sets of parameters for flexibility testing, using Asian adults from Hong Kong as test subjects. Findings indicate that all sit-and-reach testing protocols were similar in their criterion-related validity, regardless of the use of end or difference scores.

From the supplier: Reliability assessment from small sample size analyses have a large standard error so that the lower limits of the 0.95 confidence intervals (CI) have reliability values, implying an unacceptable level of measurement error. The sample size is significant in performing a powerful significance test. Verifying a test should have a minimum of 30 subjects representing the defined population. With a sample size of 50, the lower CI limit for a rxx of 0.60 is less than 0.40.
