Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Americans Happily his conception of what distinction and dignity included for a man like himself took in a great deal; nearly everything, in fact, except tolerance and a sense of humour. He had been gifted with a robust frame which he had been at pains to break to manly accomplishments: he could ride and shoot, fence, box, wrestle, and swim with proficiency; he openly despised any man not a consumptive who could not; and these consumptive he despised, instinctively, in secret. He had inherited a strong, dull intelligence in which he never found anything which he had not first put there; but from his childhood good masters had been offered him; he had spent a certain number of hours every day in adding to the stock of notions they had given him, and it was not his habit to forget what he had once learned. Neither was it his habit to unlearn anything: what had once obtained lodgment in his head formed an insuperable obstacle to the passage of everything not consistent with it; and the considerable library he had collected at Estcourt served mainly to dress out his preconceptions in the foppery of scholarship. He had been a young buck in his day, looking at himself seriously in the glass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Americans of to-Day and to-Morrow A Fine young fellow in a Western college, with that secret desire to do large things with his life hidden away in his breast, as it is in the hearts of most young Americans, said one day, after finishing a thesis on the great days of a former time in history: "Why could not I have lived in that day? Men did great things and did them well then. What sheer joy to be one of the people who dominate human events!" He had been studying and writing of one of the ruling nations of history.

Book Synopsis Stories of Great Americans by : Edward Eggleston
Download or read book Stories of Great Americans written by Edward Eggleston and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Great Americans: For Little Americans The primary aim of this book is to furnish the little learner reading matter that will excite his attention and give him pleasure, and thus make lighter the difficult task of learning to read. The ruggedness of this task has often been increased by the use of disconnected sentences, or lessons as dry and uninteresting as finger exercises on the piano. It is a sign of promise that the demand for reading matter of interest to the child has come from teachers. I have endeavored to meet this requirement in the following stories. As far as possible the words chosen have been such as are not difficult to the little reader, either from their length or their unfamiliarity. The sentences and paragraphs are short. Learning to read is like climbing a steep hill, and it is a great relief to the panting child to find frequent breathing places. It is one of the purposes of these stories to make the mind of the pupil familiar with some of the leading figures in the history of our country by means of personal anecdote. Some of the stories are those that every American child ought to know, because they have become a kind of national folklore. Such, for example, are "Putnam and the Wolf" and the story of "Franklin's Whistle." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Americans (Classic Reprint) written by Hugo Munsterberg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Americans To outline American life for readers beyond the sea is one thing; to appear before an American audience and to tell them solemnly that there is a Republican and a Democratic party, and that there are troubles between capital and labour, is quite another thing. To inform my German countrymen about America may be to fill a long-felt want; but, as a German, to inform the Ameri cans on matters which they knew before they were born seems, indeed, worse than superfluous. When I was urged, on so many sides, to bring my Americans before the Americans, it was, therefore, clear to me from the outset that I ought not to do it myself under any circumstances. If I had translated the book myself, it would have become simply an Eng lish book, written in English by the author and yet its only pos sible right to existence must lie in its reflected character, in its hav ing been written for others, in its coming back to the New World from the Old. My friend, Dr. Holt, who has been for years my assistant in the Harvard Psychological Laboratory, has assisted, therefore, in this social psychological experiment, and translated the book from the German edition.

Baker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday Classics Seventh Reader American Life and Literature for Grammar, Grades and Junior High Schools This volume of the Everyday Classics is prepared with a two-fold purpose: (1) to introduce young people to a part of that common cultural material which is now a part of' our inheritance, and (2) to put them into sympathy with some of the feelings and ideals which are in a special sense Ameri can. The importance of unifying our national life has not for more than a century seemed so urgent as in these last few years. The school, and particularly the literature read there, have long been recognized as among the most potent means of building such national unity. It has been our purpose also so to choose and arrange the material of the book as to provide for that real study and reflection, that growing consciousness of power that should come from the courses in the highest elementary grades and the Junior High School. The administrative segregation of the Junior High School from the grades below it should be based on a course of study differentiated, but not too sharply, from the work of the preceding year. One way of doing this is to bring like elements in the work into groups constituting larger units. Most of the selections in this volume will suggest to the alert teacher other books and articles on similar themes.

Book Synopsis Twelve Americans by : Howard Carroll
Download or read book Twelve Americans written by Howard Carroll and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twelve Americans: Their Lives and Times A Disposition to belittle and disparage public men is very properly held to be a characteristic failing of the Republic. Yet we are told that it is not more prevalent in our American Union than it was in the commonwealths of ancient Greece, and that it is not more distinctly marked in the United States of to-day than it was during the lifetime of the fathers of the country. Whether it be more justifiable is a question less open to discussion than whether there is great danger of its being too freely indulged There is certainly no necessary connection between the service of the people and the imputation of base motives to those who, by election or appointment, assume public responsibilities. It is equally certain that there is nothing more misleading than to deal with a human being, in any of the relations of life, as a mere bundle of qualities attributed to him by common rumor, and associated with none of the shades of character, impulse, and motive which really combine to make him what he is.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lady at Home: Or, Leaves From the Every-Day Book of an American Woman I was sitting, one day, pleasantly occupied with a new volume, when the door Opened quietly, and my cook, an Irish girl, (a very excellent one, by the way, ) came in, and advanced towards me. Well, Jane, is any thing wanted? I asked, in the mild tone in which I always endeavor to speak to my domestics. I should like to go out for a couple of hours, if you have no objection, Mrs. Elmwood, Jane replied, in a respectful voice. Now Jane had been out only two days before, on her regular afternoon for going, and I felt that it was hardly right for her to want two afternoons in the week. So I said, a little coldly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • “An instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions—now with a new Afterword by the author. #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, O: The Oprah Magazine, NPR, Bloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, The New York Public Library, Fortune, Smithsonian Magazine, Marie Claire, Slate, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews Winner of the Carl Sandberg Literary Award • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize • National Book Award Longlist • National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist • Dayton Literary Peace Prize Finalist • PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Finalist • PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Longlist • Kirkus Prize Finalist “As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not.” In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched, and beautifully written narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their outcasting of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity. Original and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.
Book Synopsis American Anniversaries by : Philip Robert Dillon
Download or read book American Anniversaries written by Philip Robert Dillon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Anniversaries: Every Day in the Year, Presenting Seven Hundred and Fifty Events in United States History, From the Discovery of America to the Present Day To find an unexplored region in the realm of reference books is an unwonted achievement. Yet that is what the writer of the following pages seems to have done. Makers of almanacs and compilers of calendars have indeed made short excursions into the domain of American Anniversaries but their contributions are obvious and fragmentary to the point of tantalization. In this volume the leading events of American history arc treated comprehensively and with a degree of scholarship that deserves to be called scientific. The material has been gathered during years of research; the selections have been made judiciously, with a discrimination that is as evident from the omissions as from what is included. Difference of opinion there may be as to the proportionate emphasis laid upon the several events and to the comparative space allotted to each. But few if any readers will quarrel with the author's predilection for the dramatic and romantic aspects of history nor with his patriotic purpose as manifest throughout the book. As to the style, which maintains the best traditions of American literature as developed in the field of journalism there would seem to be no question as to its sober eloquence nor its adequate enthusiasm where the subject warrants it. The simplicity of the scheme of classification approaches a stroke of genius and with the system of cross references provided by the index makes the contents of the book readily available. The need for such a book is undeniable. The occasional speaker in the pulpit and upon the platform; the orator of the day; as well as those whose voices arc heard through the daily press will alike welcome a handy volume that reminds them from day to day of the supreme moments in American history.
