Edited by the leaders in the fi eld, with chapters from highly
renowned international researchers, this is the fi rst coherent
overview of the latest in silicon nanomembrane research. As such,
it focuses on the fundamental and applied aspects of silicon
nanomembranes, ranging from synthesis and manipulation to
manufacturing, device integration and system level applications,
including uses in bio-integrated electronics, three-dimensional
integrated photonics, solar cells, and transient electronics. The
first part describes in detail the fundamental physics and
materials science involved, as well as synthetic approaches and
assembly and manufacturing strategies, while the second covers the
wide range of device applications and system level demonstrators
already achieved, with examples taken from electronics and
photonics and from biomedicine and energy.
First published in 1934 and revised in 1962, this book gathers
journalist and historian Joel Augustus Rogers' columns from the
syndicated newspaper feature titled Your History. Patterned after
the look of Ripley's popular Believe It or Not the multiple
vignettes in each episode recount short items from Rogers's
research. The feature began in the Pittsburgh Courier in November
1934 and ran through the 1960s.
An eye-opening account of the great black personalities of world history. In this first volume: outstanding blacks of Asia and Africa, and historical figures before Christ -- including Akhenaton, Aesop, Hannibal, Cleopatra, Zenobia, Askia the Great, the Mahdi, Samuel Adjai Crowther, and many more. World's Great Men of Color is a comprehensive account of the great Black personalities in world history. J. A. Rogers was one of the first Black scholars to devote most of his life to researching the lives of hundreds of men and women of color. This first volume is a convenient reference; equipped with a comprehensive introduction, it treats all aspects of recorded Black history. J. A. Rogers's book is vital reading for everyone who wants a fuller and broader understanding of the great personalities who have shaped our world. The companion volume covers the great Blacks of Europe, South and Central America, the West Indies, and the United States, including Marcus Garvey, Robert Browning, Dom Pedro, Alexandre Dumas, Joachim Murat, Aleksander Sergeevich Pushkin, Alessandro de' Medici, St. Benedict the Moor, and many others.
In the Sex and Race series, first published in the 1940s, historian
Joel Augustus Rogers questioned the concept of race, the origins of
racial differentiation, and the root of the "color problem." Rogers
surmised that a large percentage of ethnic differences are the
result of sociological factors and in these volumes he gathered
what he called "the bran of history"--the uncollected, unexamined
history of black people--in the hope that these neglected parts of
history would become part of the mainstream body of Western
history. Drawing on a vast amount of research, Rogers was
attempting to point out the absurdity of racial divisions. Indeed
his belief in one race--humanity--precluded the idea of several
different ethnic races. The series marshals the data he had
collected as evidence to prove his underlying humanistic thesis:
that people were one large family without racial boundaries.
Self-trained and self-published, Rogers and his work were immensely
popular and influential during his day, even cited by Malcolm X.
The books are presented here in their original editions.
Originally published in 1959 and revised and expanded in 1989, this
book asserts that Africans had contributed more to the world than
was previously acknowledged. Historian Joel Augustus Rogers devoted
a significant amount of his professional life to unearthing facts
about people of African ancestry. He intended these findings to be
a refutation of contemporary racist beliefs about the inferiority
of blacks. Rogers asserted that the color of skin did not determine
intellectual genius, and he publicized the great black
civilizations that had flourished in Africa during antiquity.
According to Rogers, many ancient African civilizations had been
primal molders of Western civilization and culture.
2013 Reprint of 1957 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Joel
Augustus Rogers (1880-1966) was a Jamaican-American author,
journalist, and historian who contributed to the history of Africa
and the African diaspora, especially the history of African
Americans in the United States. His research spanned the academic
fields of history, sociology and anthropology. He challenged
prevailing ideas about race, demonstrated the connections between
civilizations, and traced African achievements. He was one of the
greatest popularizers of African history in the 20th century.
Roger's work is a compendium of "amazing facts" he presents to
confirm the Black man's central position in World History. It is a
comprehensive sketch compiled from various scholarly sources. Among
other things, Rogers provides to support that the Biblical Jews
were indeed a black people.
Patterning or lithography is at the core of modern science and
technology and cuts across all disciplines. With the emergence of
nanotechnology, conventional methods based on electron beam
lithography and extreme ultraviolet photolithography have become
prohibitively expensive. As a result, a number of simple and
unconventional methods have been introduced, beginning first with
research demonstrations in the mid 1990s. This book focuses on
these unconventional patterning techniques and their applications
to optics, organic devices, electronic devices, biological devices,
and fluidics.
