Mr. Thomas Andrew Dorsey's telephone number was given to the writer
of this newly released book by the name, Thomas A. Dorsey, Father
of Black Gospel Music An Interview, by a directory assistance
operator in Chicago, Illinois. The writer, at the time, (1975) took
a chance and called, not expecting the first publisher of Black
Gospel Music, to answer the phone. A very hoarse voice said
"Hello," and the writer recognized it immediately as being the
voice he had heard on a recording about Gospel Music that Mr.
Dorsey had done. After being asked if he would consent to being
interviewed Mr. Dorsey unenthusiastically said yes. He was
unenthusiastic the writer later discovered, because fortune hunters
and status seekers had been plaguing him for interviews. Honored
that Mr. Dorsey had said yes, the writer took a train from Kansas
City, Missouri to Chicago, to interview this man who had written
hundreds of songs.

This book brings together the major techniques used in the
isolation or enrichment of individual populations of organelles and
other subcellular structures from plants with the goal that, by
being able to isolate subcellular structures, the research and
understanding of various facets of compartmentalized function in
plant cells can be advanced. Written for the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology series, expert contributors provide
chapters that contain introductions to their respective topics,
lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step,
readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on
troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and
practical, Isolation of Plant Organelles and Structures: Methods
and Protocols will greatly aid those who regularly isolate
subcellular components as well as those whose research has lead
them to focus on a subcellular compartment or a particular process
for the first time, thus producing the need to be able to isolate
it or enrich it for study.
