The Greatest.
Sterling A. Brown is one of - if not the - greatest black poet of 20th Century America, and - regardless of race - a giant of the literary landscape of the past 100 years.Ironically, he is also one of the most obscure, as is evidenced by the fact that this is only the second review of a book that has long been listed here on Amazon.

Brown brings color; character; realness.But he cannot be written-off as some southern, black dialect poet.His range is tremendous.He can move seamlessly between dialect-heavy poems like Johnny Thomas or Joe Meek to more traditional, "literary" poetry like the beautiful Rain, or Mill Mountain.

More than anything, his work strikes the reader with a profound sense of time and place.Opening this volume of poetry gives you a vivid glimpse of the America that Brown knew; the America that existed for many black Americans of his day.

the book is good
i think the poet writes in showing how the blacks endured through suffering and tragedy. ... Read more

Valuable introduction
This is a valuable introduction to the range of challenges in making high-quality tiled displays - covering most of the fundamental methods used to make it all possible - to impress the viewer with really large screens. The principles and practice of tiled-displays are set out in detail; system-engineering aspects at the product-level are not covered here.

The overview of mathematical approaches is particularly useful to the newcomer, but make sure your mapping and matrix math are in good shape before you start on this.

Recent publications by the authors (find them via Google Scholar) - and others - have extended this field considerably since the book's publication, but are easier to understand having studied this book.

Product Description
“On that day you captured me in the well-founded orchard and led me away from my father and friends to sacred Lemnos, I fetched a hundred oxen for you.” So Lykaon spoke to Achilleus when he met Lykaon on the battlefield. For seven years he labored as a slave in a foreign land, a royal Trojan in bondage. Earning through skill and the favor of the gods, he rose to be the chief steward of the king’s house. Then fate intervened again and he returned across the sea to Troy to face his kidnapper, the famed and fierce Achilleus, on the battlefield. This book is an introduction to Iliad, a companion piece that will let the novice reader learn the tales that Homer doesn’t tell. The main plot is taken from Homer himself, the story of Lykaon related briefly in Book 21 of the Iliad, and expanded to inform and entertain the beginning lover of Greek myth and history. ...

Product Description
This comprehensive study of one of the most ecologically rich regions of the Southeast underscores the relevance of archaeological research in understanding long-term cultural change. Taking a holistic approach, this compilation gathers ecological, historical, and archaeological research written on the distinctive region of the Southeast called the Gulf coast blackland prairie. Ranging from the last glacial period to the present day, the case studies provide a broad picture of how the area has changed through time and been modified by humans, first with nomadic bands of Indians trailing the grazing animals and then by Euro-American settlers who farmed the rich agricultural area. Contemporary impacts include industrialization, aquaculture, population growth, land reclamation, and wildlife management. It is believed that the Black Belt and the Great Plains were contiguous in the past and shared the same prairie vegetation, insects, and large fauna, such as bison. Swaths and patches of limestone-based soils still weave a biological corridor through what is now Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.In analyzing this distinct grassland ecosystem, the essays compare both the mega and minute flora and fauna sustained by the land in the past and present, reveal what foods were harvested by early inhabitants, their gathering techniques, and diet changes over the 10,000-year period of native occupancy; survey the documents of early explorers for descriptions of the landform, its use, and the lives of inhabitants at the time of contact; and look at contemporary efforts to halt abuse and reverse damage to this unique and shrinking biome. This book demonstrates that the blackland prairie has always been an important refuge for a teeming array of biological species, including humans. It will have wide scholarly appeal as well as general interest and will be welcomed by archaeologists, biologists, botanists, ecologists, historians, librarians, politicians, land managers, and national, state, and local administrators. ...

Product Description
Literary short stories by established and emerging writers.

Excerpts:
John S. Walker
Among the Least of These
She was the kind that would hang on, who had the faith of a mustard seed, but brimmed with a severe hope. His father, the pastor of a congregation of Swedish Presbyterians, had spent hours at her bedside when they believed the fever was finally going to take her.

Shimon Tanaka
The Suit
He had seen much of America--it was all an adventure--but the reigning irony seemed to be the way his world had shrunk down to where his life mostly consisted of his part-time job in the dining hall and the desk in his room.

Michael L. Guerra
Plush
This is the kind of intimate detail my father has shared with me over the years. Instead of telling me about his life, he tells me about the people he has encountered along the way.

Patrick Hicks
57 Gatwick
It started when the family of seat 18G wanted to know who sat in 18F. They wanted to send a sympathy card, which turned into a three-page letter, which turned into a phone call.

Kim Brooks
The Houseguest
Auer had tried to explain to her that there were things more important in life than a well-set table and sated babies warm in their beds, but it was 1938, and these were difficult arguments to make.

Rikki Clark
The Widower Garden
Irma and Orly moved into their house when Orly got work at the forge down the block. Even now, you can hear the rhythm of the hydraulic press ironing out the steel at the forge, and all seems right with the world.

Sean Padraic McCarthy
Preservation
Aidan hated leaving her there, seeing her face, pleading with him as he made his way to the door--Judas--but he didn t know what else to do; it was the only daycare even close to working within his budget.

Lisa Graley
Vandalism
There comes a time when you want only to sit on your porch, he told Glenn Turley. You want to think over things you've done or haven't done--not things you're planning to do.

Andrew Thomas Scott
A Shell of Blue Luminosity
Mr. Patel leaned down and said, "Daniel Megargel, we are very sorry for you." From beside him, Mrs. Patel said, "And for Angie." They left the car and walked back toward the office; they kept in step and close together, their shoulders touching.

Terrence Cheng
The Boy
His father was always looking for the next best thing, even though he had worked at the same restaurant ever since he could remember.

Barry Unsworth
Interview by Kevin Rabalais
Joseph Conrad had a wonderful sense of the scene, in which physical environment and the dramatic moment and the actual visual experience all fuse together into a wonderful, memorable scene that lives with you forever.
