Innovation! It’s the cure-all for an ailing America. So says conventional wisdom.
And the engine of innovation is the American university – the wellspring of new
knowledge to fill the technology and commercialization pipeline. But universities
and their faculty are under attack as being poor stewards of what some perceive
as a new mission. Who is right? What is the real story? Go Forth and Innovate!
reveals a personal perspective on the inner workings of the modern research
university and its role in the innovation ecosystem. |

Together Forever is a genealogical study of the family of Adam Ivy Morgan
and Eva Lucinda Stoner both of whom were born during the Civil War and died in the 1920s.
The ancestral family trees of Adam and Eva are presented beginning with the period of
the Revolutionary War up to their birth and include principally the Morgan and Stoner
families of Rowan County, North Carolina. Their descendants up to the modern day are
tracked. The book is more than a simple accounting of the family trees and includes
extensive analysis of historical records as well as oral tradition. While a genealogical
tract, Together Forever is also the story of a family formed and forged by the
cataclysm of the American Civil War. |
