Book Description
Generations Recording: Genealogical Findings and Memories of the Gaines and Robinson Families By: Ruby Robinson Ennis Ruby Robinson Ennis is a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a retired educator. Interest in her family genealogy led her to record information about her paternal ancestors that she learned from her father. Ennis validates much that her father told her through research. Through DNA testing, she traces strands of her paternal and maternal families to Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Her personal memories of her families and her ability to connect incidents in their lives with the black experience in America prove to be lively and enlightening. Photographs from her mother’s scrapbook that date from the late 19th century, the early 20th century and later further enhance her genealogical account.

The Record of Transmitting the Light
Author: Francis Dojun Cook
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0861717554
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The Record of Transmitting the Light traces the inheritance of the Buddha's enlightenment through successive Buddhist masters. Written by a seminal figure in the Japanese Zen tradition, its significance as an historical and religious document is unquestionable. And ultimately, The Record of Transmitting the Light serves as a testament to our own capacity to awaken to a life of freedom, wisdom, and compassion. Readers of Zen will also find the introduction and translation by Francis Dojun Cook, the scholar whose insights brought Zen Master Dogen to life in How to Raise an Ox, of great value.

On the Generation and Directional Recording of Waves in the Arctic Ocean
Author: Leonard A. LeSchack
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Ocean waves
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
An experiment to investigate the directional nature and the possible generation mechanisms for waves on the Arctic Ocean, an ocean almost entirely covered with sea ice, is described. The waves under consideration have periods between 10 and 100 seconds and amplitudes between 0.001 and 2.0 centimeters. In the present work an array of two continuously recording gravimeters 1,240 meters apart was established at drift station ARLIS II. Observed waves with distinct periods were associated with a storm over Siberia. A continuously recording microbarograph sensitive to atmospheric micropressure oscillations in the 10- to 100-second period range was also installed at ARLIS II. Distinct oscillations were observed in this period range having amplitude of from 20 to 400 dynes/sq cm. Power spectra of micropressure records made before, during, and after a storm show that oscillation amplitude is proportional to the period of the oscillation and speed of local winds. Cross correlation between the micropressure records and wave records taken with a gravimeter at the same location as the microbarograph shows a positive correlation between the micropressure waves and the ocean waves. This correlation appears to vary with the direction of the local surface wind. These micropressure waves contained sufficient force to bend the ice and generate the observed water waves. (Author).
