THE FIRST PRESIDENT children. But the oral history of the
descendants of this African American family tells a different
story. THE CONTROVERSY son. Others will find it difficult, if not
impossible, to believe that Washington had an intimate relationship
with a slave named Venus. Their fateful union during the era of
antebellum slavery produced a son, West Ford. THE SECRET Vernon,
each generation continued to walk a precarious line, bearing the
weight of their heritage and battling issues of skin color, status,
and identity. Linda Allen Bryant, a descendant of West Ford, pens
her family's narrative history in I Cannot Tell a Lie. Their
genealogy is rich in adventure, love, tragedy, sacrifice and
courage--a story that will haunt you long after you turn the last
page.
This book provides an up-to-date critical analysis of the
integration of environmental policies into US free trade
agreements. The work focuses on the evolution of the design of
environmental policies and analyzes their effectiveness. Starting
with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) leading to the
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the book examines the history of
policy integration. In doing so, it provides an overview of the
major trade-related environmental policies and presents empirical
research on their effectiveness, a discussion of the continued
demand for policy integration in light of the effectiveness, and
recommendations for addressing shortcomings. The main objective of
the book is to inform the ongoing policy debate over integration of
environmental policies into trade agreements. The current
renegotiation of NAFTA provides an opportune time for undertaking
this critical review of trade-related environmental policies. As
our understanding and knowledge of the environmental policies
associated with US trade agreements, in particular for NAFTA, has
grown significantly over the past twenty-five years, this book
provides a timely and critical update for this policy debate.
Students and scholars of environmental law, trade and economics,
and specifically US trade, environmental policy and law will find
this book of great interest.
Teach your students based on their readiness levels with tiering
strategies from Joni Turville, Linda Allen, and LeAnn Nickelsen.
You'll offer lessons designed to challenge each student
appropriately, and in ways that save time and yield actual
progress. In this book, the authors demonstrate how tiering, a
standards-based differentiation strategy which uses readiness as a
basis for instructional planning, helps teachers introduce the
right degree of content complexity for each student. The result?
Greater student success and less time spent re-teaching. This book
provides a comprehensive introduction to tiering plus step-by-step
instructions for using it in your classroom. Also included are 23
ready-to-apply blackline masters, which provide helpful ideas for
activities and classroom management.

As evidenced in interviews included in this volume, many African
American filmmakers consider themselves artists first, their
ethnicity being only part of what influences their work. This is
the first book by an African American on contemporary African
American filmmakers. Here directors and producers speak for
themselves, posing challenges to current thinking in the field.
Special emphasis is given to the filmmakers' productions and their
experiences. Essays on historic figures reveal the rich history of
the African American contribution to cinema. From Oscar Micheaux
and Spencer Williams to Neema Barnett and the team of George
Jackson and Doug McHenry, this revealing reference work will
enlighten scholars, students, and film buffs.
As early as 1899, African Americans were involved in the
filmmaking industry. Oscar Micheaux took directing, writing, and
producing to a higher level with the release of his first film in
1918; by 1948 he had made more than forty films. Currently, by
international world cinema standards, the African American
tradition rivals cinema from anywhere in the world, but these
filmmakers face a quandary: whether to make films through the
Hollywood system or follow an independent vision. This book
presents a cross-section of filmmakers from each camp and also
focuses on those who work in both arenas.
KEY BENEFIT This reference introduces a variety of mathematical
models for biological systems, and presents the mathematical theory
and techniques useful in analyzing those models. Material is
organized according to the mathematical theory rather than the
biological application. Contains applications of mathematical
theory to biological examples in each chapter. Focuses on
deterministic mathematical models with an emphasis on predicting
the qualitative solution behavior over time. Discusses classical
mathematical models from population, including the Leslie matrix
model, the Nicholson-Bailey model, and the Lotka-Volterra
predator-prey model. Also discusses more recent models, such as a
model for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus - HIV and a model for
flour beetles. KEY MARKET Readers seeking a solid background in the
mathematics behind modeling in biology and exposure to a wide
variety of mathematical models in biology.

Have you ever met someone who you swear you met before, perhaps in
another life? What if this person was to become one of the most
influential romances of your life? What if God sent you this
person, but you constantly questioned their presence? Anyone who
has ever struggled with the ups and downs of true love will relate
to the portrait of heartbreak in Until We Meet Again, Dear John by
new author Linda Allen. With the unique ability to speak with and
console the souls of the departed, Allen puts all her psychic tarot
cards on the table in this journey of self-discovery. She taps into
her intuitive abilities with the spiritual world to look for signs
from God on a large boulder she comes across that resembles the
hand of God, to chance meetings at home and abroad with John, a man
who had instantly captured her heart. Readers will laugh, cry, and
identify with the chaotic link that leads to marital happiness with
another man only God could provide.
