The black experience in America--starting from its origins in western Africa up to 1961--is examined in this seminal study from a prominent African American figure. The entire historical timeline of African Americans is addressed, from the Colonial period through the civil rights upheavals of the late 1950s to 1961, the time of publication. "Before the Mayflower" grew out of a series of articles Bennett published in Ebony magazine regarding "the trials and triumphs of a group of Americans whose roots in the American soil are deeper than the roots of the Puritans who arrived on the celebrated Mayflower a year after a 'Dutch man of war' deposited twenty Negroes at Jamestown." Bennett's history is infused with a desire to set the record straight about black contributions to the Americas and about the powerful Africans of antiquity. While not a fresh history, it provides a solid synthesis of current historical research and a lively writing style that makes it accessible and engaging reading.
After discussing the contributions of Africans to the ancient world, "Before the Mayflower" tells the history of "the other Americans," how they came to America, and what happened to them when they got here. The book is comprehensive and detailed, providing little-known and often overlooked facts about the lives of black folks through slavery, Reconstruction, America's wars, the Great Depression, and the civil rights movement. The book includes a useful time line and some fascinating archival images.

Описание: When studying solid geometry, there is no substitute for holding a model in your hands, and this fun but challenging book offers that very opportunity. Twelvecut-and-assemble models of icosahedra offer children and professional mathematicians alike a tangible way to appreciate the structure and intrinsic beauty of polyhedra. The models range in difficulty from simple to complex. Some feature colors that reveal their relationships, and all five underlying shapes are rendered in white to emphasize their overall structure and to allow model-makers to color them as they wish. This hands-on educational activity book includes complete step-by-step instructions and diagrams for assembly plus mathematical explanations of the geometric shapes.

Описание: Excerpt from Ancestors and Descendants of Joshua Williams, a Mayflower Descendant and Pioneer In preparing this little volume I have endeavored with utmost fidelity to avoid errors in names and dates. Handwriting is often difficult to decipher. Various members of the family have not always agreed upon essential facts. I have travelled hundreds of miles, examined voluminous records, and spent no end of time and money. That I have escaped errors and written an infallible history is too much to hope. This much, however, has been accomplished: Written records long buried have been unearthed. Oral recollections that must shortly perish with the passing of older members of the family are now in tangible form. To have assembled together this hitherto unwritten history is a satisfaction in itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
