Georgetown's little-known Black heritage shaped a Washington, DC,
community long associated with white power and privilege. Black
Georgetown Remembered reveals a rich but little-known history of
the Georgetown Black community from the colonial period to the
present. Drawing on primary sources, including oral interviews with
past and current residents and extensive research in church and
historical society archives, the authors record the hopes, dreams,
disappointments, and successes of a vibrant neighborhood as it
persevered through slavery and segregation, war and peace,
prosperity and depression. This thirtieth anniversary edition of
Black Georgetown Remembered, first published in 1991, features more
than two hundred illustrations, including portraits of prominent
community leaders, sketches, maps, and nineteenth-century and
contemporary photographs. A new chapter includes a conversation
with former and current Georgetown residents reflecting on the
community, past and present. Black Georgetown Remembered is a
compelling and inspiring journey through more than two hundred
years of history. A one-of-a-kind book, it invites readers to share
in the lives, dreams, aspirations, struggles, and triumphs of real
people, to join them in their churches, at home, and on the street,
and to consider how the unique heritage of this neighborhood
intersects and contributes to broader themes in African American
and Washington, DC, history and urban studies.
The Eighty-Second National Meeting of the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers, held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, from August
29 through September 1, 1976, had as one of its themes the topic of
transport processes. One of the sessions related to this theme was
"Transport Processes in the Oceans" chaired by R. P. Shaw and R. J.
Gibbs. This session was devoted to the study of transport processes
and their hydrodynamic modeling in large water bodies such as
oceans and lakes; transport of both dissolved and solid material
was con sidered. The interest developed at the session led to the
conclu sion that the papers presented there should be published as
a set rather than dispersed among the various technical journals
that rep resent the wide variety of technical affiliations of the
authors. This variety, in fact, is typical of this particular field
with con tributors identified as chemical engineers, civil
engineers, environ mental engineers, mechanical engineers,
oceanographers and applied mechanicians to name just a few. Such an
interdisciplinary area re quires more effort in keeping abreast of
developments than do the traditional areas, since new material may
be developed and presented in a wide range of technical journals
and professional meetings."

..".the most comprehensive and expansive book ever written on
the subject of Retail Real Estate Development. Gibbs is by far the
most prominent advocate for reforming retail planning and
development in order to return American cities to economic and
physical prominence."-Stefanos Polyzoides, Moule & Polyzoides
Architects & UrbanistsThe retail environment has evolved
rapidly in the past few decades, with the retailing industry and
its placement and design of "brick-and-mortar" locations changing
with evolving demographics, shopping behavior, transportation
options and a desire in recent years for more unique shopping
environments.
Written by a leading expert, this is a guide to planning for
retail development for urban planners, urban designers and
architects. It includes an overview of history of retail design, a
look at retail and merchandising trends, and principles for current
retail developments.
"Principles of Urban Retail Planning and Development" will:
Provide insight and techniques necessary for historic downtowns and
new urban communities to compete with modern suburban shopping
centers. Promote sustainable community building and development by
making it more profitable for the shopping center industry to
invest in historic cities or to develop walkable urban communities.
Includes case studies of recent good examples of retail
development
This book tackles the challenges of how to make sense of
qualitative data. It offers students and researchers a hands-on
guide to the practicalities of coding, comparing data, and using
computer-assisted qualitative data analysis. Lastly, Gibbs shows
you how to bring it all together, so you can see the steps of
qualitative analysis, understand the central place of coding,
ensure analytic quality and write effectively to present your
results.

The title of my book says it all, 'Restless Hearts." It is a Poem
book about Love, Romance, and Heartbreaks, which we all have
experienced at one time or another in our life. I don't exactly
remember what prompted me to write love poems, I guess the
experiences that I have endured over my lifetime still burns in my
subconscious and I feel a need to get it out in the open and down
on paper. There is something in this book that every one of us can
relate to. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do and don't
miss my special edition of, "The Cowboy And The Brown-Eyed Saloon
Girl," A love story. 'I am the hopeless romantic'... so they say.

The book is a "how to" create a community-wide awareness from a
multi-cultural, interdenominational, holistic, and theological
perspective for at-risk and troubled youth(s). It is based on my
experiences as a Christian educator, youth counselor and pastor.
Through personal witness of African-American youths, I have
experienced first-hand and swallowed the bitter pill of poverty,
violence, victimization and homicide. African-American youth(s) are
statistically the greatest perpetrators of crime in the
communities, and the lowest academic achievers. It is my hope to
create a greater community-wide awareness at a time when society
will see black youth(s) beyond the playing field and look for the
real role models in their respective communities such as; teachers,
pastors, mothers, fathers, and grandparents. In my book, I will
place greater emphasis on the role of parenting and education in
influencing youth(s) to partake in activities which will hone their
abilities and create positive outlooks on life. The active
involvement of various organizations, schools and individuals could
hasten the achievement of these goals; for unity leads to
revolutionary reform. Interpersonal violence has a dramatic impact
on the health of American youth(s). Homicides, the salient and
easily measured impact, account for one of every five deaths among
youths, ages fifteen to twenty-four and 58 per cent of deaths among
black males fifteen to nineteen. From 1985 through 1990, firearm
homicide rates increased 141 per cent for all fifteen-to-nineteen
year olds and nearly tripled among black males in this age group.
Positive Adolescent Choices Training (P.A.C.T.) designed
specifically for African-American male and female adolescents,
applies cognitive training methods in small group settings in six
skill areas. Elementary school teachers (preferably), select
students for participation based on social skill deficiencies,
problems with aggressive behavior, or history of victimization.
Training is provided twice a week in fifty minute sessions for half
of the school year. PACT volunteers will facilitate the training
and are aided by a high-quality video tape that demonstrates the
skills in realistic situations.
Edited by the inventor of PCR and two prominent experts in PCR
techniques, this first comprehensive handbook on the Polymerase
Chain Reaction has the most up to date methodological protocols
from the world's leading laboratories. Included are exciting new
techniques and enhanced methods, previously unavailable in book
form, that show the novice and experienced PCR user exactly how
they can optimize their results. The applications chapters are
quite unique, with the foremost researchers providing not only
protocols, but explaining why PCR has revolutionized their
particular field. Future enhancements of PCR as well as new
potential uses are discussed. Readers will learn how PCR has
