Book Description
Long before moving away from The Bottom, the poor black district of Beaumont, Arkansas, David and Mary Green yearn to escape the rural south and find a better life. The family steals away in the night, seeking a new beginning in St. Louis, Missouri. Even though St. Louis is more than they hoped for, their son, Otto, succumbs to the draw of the streets; he's lured into the dangerous world of bootlegging alcohol at the height of Prohibition.This fictional story of a large African American family from Arkansas and their move to a new life in St. Louis documents the history of black migration to the north in the 1920s and '30s. Cook vividly captures the tone of the times in this story filled with details of the family's lives-from births, marriages, separations, and deaths, to their compelling experiences with racism and Jim Crow laws, criminal activity, and, eventually, redemption.Written in memoir form, "Uncle Otto" is a nostalgic tribute to Winfred Cook's disabled uncle.

Book Description
The heartaches and drama of Nazi persecution are brought to life in this Jewish family saga. Its author, Brigid Grauman, has drawn on the intimate memoirs and diaries of no less than seven of her forebears to recreate a vivid picture of that darkest of eras. Brigid's book combines the searing experiences of her family with her own compassion and affection. Her family members spring to life and step from the page. "Uncle Otto's Puppet Theatre" takes the reader through two centuries of Jewish life, spanning peasant years in rural Moravia to headlong flight from Central Europe and hard-earned new lives in America. The humanity and gifted storytelling of this book emulates the emotional impact of "The Diary of Anne Frank" and "The Hare with Amber Eyes", and is a tribute to the courage of the author's own family.

Book Description
This Open Access book gives a comprehensive account of both the history and current achievements of molecular beam research. In 1919, Otto Stern launched the revolutionary molecular beam technique. This technique made it possible to send atoms and molecules with well-defined momentum through vacuum and to measure with high accuracy the deflections they underwent when acted upon by transversal forces. These measurements revealed unforeseen quantum properties of nuclei, atoms, and molecules that became the basis for our current understanding of quantum matter. This volume shows that many key areas of modern physics and chemistry owe their beginnings to the seminal molecular beam work of Otto Stern and his school. Written by internationally recognized experts, the contributions in this volume will help experienced researchers and incoming graduate students alike to keep abreast of current developments in molecular beam research as well as to appreciate the history and evolution of this powerful method and the knowledge it reveals.
