Question about "from among"

Hi,

I want to ask a question about preposition compound "from among".

1) You may choose a book from among these.

Can I say "You may choose a book among these"?

2) They were elected from among the employees.

Can I say "They were elected from the employees"?

If not, why are two prepositions necessary?

Regards,

Stephen

your answer is not clear.

I think the main question is whether you can say "from among."
