Woodson, Sr.; Biographies of Contributing Authors; Endnotes and Acknowledgments. " "An indispensable corrective to the falsified version of black history presented by The 1619 Project, radical activists, and money-hungry "diversity consultants." In the rush to redefine the place of black Americans in contemporary society, many radical activists and academics have mounted a campaign to destroy traditional American history and replace it with a politicized version that few would recognize. According to the new radical orthodoxy, the United States was founded as a racist nation -- and everything that has happened throughout our history must be viewed through the lens of the systemic oppression of black people. Rejecting this false narrative, a collection of the most prominent and respected black scholars and thinkers has come together to correct the record and tell the true story of black Americans in all its complexity, diversity of experience, and poignancy. Collectively, they paint a vivid picture of black people living the grand American experience, however bumpy the road may be along the way. But rather than a people apart, blacks are woven into the united whole that makes this nation unique in history." -- from the rear outer jacket. "1776 Unites represents a nonpartisan and intellectually diverse alliance of writers, thinkers, and activists focused on solutions to our country's greatest challenges in education, culture, and upward mobility. We acknowledge that racial discrimination exists - and work toward diminishing it. But we dissent from contemporary groupthink and rhetoric about race, class, and American history that defames our national heritage, divides our people, and instills helplessness among those who already hold within themselves the grit and resilience to better their lot in life. 1776 Unites maintains a special focus on voices in the black community who celebrate black excellence, reject victimhood culture and showcase the millions of black Americans who have prospered by embracing the founding ideals of America. We are intellectuals, journalists, entrepreneurs, and grassroots activists, celebrating the progress America has made, the resilience of its people, and our future together. We seek decisive action in restoring our people's confidence and advancing the cause of actual justice in the face of hostile messages that degrade the spiritual, moral, and political foundations of our nation." -- from the inner front jacket flap.

1st Edition. FIRST EDITION OF THE 1st PUBLISHED DESCRIPTION OF H. S. BLACK'S INVENTION OF THE 'STABILIZED FEEDBACK AMPLIFIER, CONSIDERED BY SOME THE MOST IMPORTANT BREAKTHROUGH OF THE 20th CENTURY IN THE FIELD OF ELECTRONICS GIVEN ITS WIDE AREA OF APPLICATION (Wikipedia). Initially, Black's idea - feeding a portion of an amplified signal from a later part of a circuit to an earlier part -- was considered "so revolutionary that they found it difficult to accept. Though vacuum tubes and transistors are inherently nonlinear, Black's work manifest the idea that they can be made to operate in an almost linear fashion through the use of negative feedback. The American patent took nine years to obtain and the British Patent Office treated the invention as they treated applications for patents for perpetual motion machines: they demanded a working model" (Bennett, A History of Control Engineering, 70). Black's idea, in his own words, was for "an amplifier whose overall performance is perfectly constant, and whose output distortion constitutes only one hundred millionth of the total energy, although the component parts may be far from linear in their response and their gain may vary over a considerable range. benefits [that] can be obtained by simply throwing away some gain and by utilizing 'feedback action'" (ibid). Black first presented the principles of the negative feedback amplifier at a convention of electrical engineers in January of 1934, the first printed presentation of his work appearing, then, in the paper offered here. Interestingly, by the time of Black's speech and paper, his invention was already seven years old; the principle of his repeater amplifiers had already been well-developed and tested. Both the speech and paper represented the first time information about Black's work was made public. Part of what this meant was that "the paper was not a tentative account of a new invention, but a succinct and confident description of a maturing device that had passed through difficult years of development and come to practical fruition" (ibid).
