Quantum Leaps in Princeton's Place (signed first edition)

Award-winning journalist, Dr. Donna Clovis, recounts the stories of Princeton, New Jersey, in the early 1900s through the late 1950s through the eyes of two of the oldest citizens by means of interviews, diaries, and articles. The synchronicity of being at the right place at the right time for the interviews, locations, and journals plays a major role in the construction of the book.

Dr. Donna L. Clovis is a graduate of Columbia University in New York City in journalism and the humanities. She has won a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize and a first-place feature-writing award for the National Association of Black Journalists. Dr. Clovis has also won two journalism fellowships: the McCloy Fellowship from the American Council on Germany and Harvard University and a Prudential Fellowship from Columbia University. She is also the Albert Einstein Education Award winner for achievements that produce a significant improved educational environment from the governor of New Jersey.

Dr. Clovis is interested in documentary work and storytelling that comes from this type of journalism. She especially loves talking with older people, to hear about their lives. This is the basis of her story and the synchronicity that occurred as she gathered the information through interviews and researching articles. It is called being in the right place at the right time. Dr. Clovis lives in the Princeton Junction area and loves to travel to other countries to learn more about people and culture.
