Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Park and Pavement A kindergarten - a children's garden. We have accepted the term for our language, but have not absorbed its fullest meaning. With this I do not say that Froebel, the most fundamental of all reformers, understood a kindergarten to consist of walks and lawn and plants with happy children as the fortunate possessors. I mean more. The writer of these paragraphs, who never attended an established kindergarten and yet enjoyed the kindergarten in its most unrestricted meaning, who developed in a profession on just such lines as Froebel laid down, feels it his duty to build upon and build out Froebel's lines with the aid of his professionalism. I have in mind a kindergarten which has added to all of Freebel's methods the fullest complement which nature can place within a child's reach and comprehension. This land of vast dimensions must do more than merely accept Froebel's teachings. 'we must improve upon them, and bestow upon them that liberality which is ours, as soon as an occasion appeals to us. The time is drawing close when the kindergartens will be made part of our free school system. How will we be prepared for such change? Shall we move from the empty stores and vacant ﬂats, now set aside for our children, to the basements of the school buildings? Let us give the matter our most earnest study, and let us realize that it is easier to direct the run of a brooklet than to change the volume of a deeply bedded river. The broad acres of our United States are yet comparatively undivided, and, except where the most expensive real estate demands business buildings to tower Skyward, none are too costly to furnish the ground upon which our kindergartens shall be founded. Let us insist at the very outset of our movement upon the proper reservation, and nothing will prevent us from securing for our children what, through them, will redound to far more benefit to the land than the most gorgeous improvement we could devise.

Even Gramercy Park looked bleak and cheerless while a brougham of elegant trim, with two liveried men on its box, rattled up to the door of a mansion just south of Irving Place. The inmate, a young man, wrapped to his ears in a huge coat lined with sable, remained inside his carriage until the footman's hellring had been answered. Then he lightly bounded forth upon the pavement, and ran up the stoop into the open doorway, which was immediately closed behind him by another foot man inside the hall.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Roads and Pavements The problems involved in the construction and maintenance Of rural highways differ materially from those which are encountered in the improvement and care Of city streets, and therefore this discussion Of the subject Of Roads and Pavements will be divided into Part I, Country Roads, and Part II, City Pavements. In each division Of the subject certain general principles will first be considered, and the further discussion will be divided according to the several materials in use for road surfaces. It will not always be possible to keep the several portions entirely distinct, but a knowledge Of the intention in this respect will make it easier to understand the method Of presentation or to turn readily to the discussion Of any particular phase Of the subject. The classification Of road surfaces into country Roads and City Pavements is partly according to the most general use Of each, and partly according to the elaborateness Of the construction. According to the somewhat loose classification here adopted road surfaces for country roads consist Of two parts, subgrade and wearing coat; while city pavements consist Of four parts, sub grade, foundation, a binder or cushion course, and a wearing coat.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pavements and Roads: Their Construction and Maintenance This book is a compilation of articles which have appeared in recent volumes of The Engineering and Building Record, edited with a view of eliminating whatever was of timely or local interest, and arranged by divisions for convenience of use. The science of paving and the need of proper maintenance of pavements is yet comparatively little understood in this country, and the same is true in even greater degree with regard to roads. The editor of the journal named was led to give the matter special attention by seeing what was done in Europe, during his visits there, and finally began an investigation of work on streets and roads in England, France and other countries, the result of which was the gathering of a large and very valuable mass of information in regard to the subject. Of this everything likely to be of practical use in America was printed in The Engineering and Building Record, and is given here in more convenient shape. With it appears a large quantity of matter from American sources, including the prize essays on Road Construction and Maintenance submitted in the competition instituted by the journal named in December, 1889. It will be seen that the great bulk of the book is made up of records of experience and statements of cost in different places. The comments are based on this experience.

Book excerpt: Irreverently funny and surprisingly moving, All Passion Spent is the story of a woman who discovers who she is just before it is too late. After the death of elder statesman Lord Slane—a former prime minister of Great Britain and viceroy of India—everyone assumes that his eighty-eight-year-old widow will slowly fade away in her grief, remaining as proper, decorative, and dutiful as she has been her entire married life. But the deceptively gentle Lady Slane has other ideas. First she defies the patronizing meddling of her children and escapes to a rented house in Hampstead. There, to her offspring’s utter amazement, she revels in her new freedom, recalls her youthful ambitions, and gathers some very unsuitable companions—who reveal to her just how much she had sacrificed under the pressure of others’ expectations.

Book excerpt: No one could have planned for this... Lara Carson left her family and boyfriend Flynn eighteen years ago without a word to anyone. Why has no one heard from her since? Does it mean anything that she's suddenly reappeared in Bath just in time for her ex–best friend Evie's wedding? And what about Flynn? Even the most eagle–eyed observer can't tell whether he's happy to see her, or just stunned. While secrets pile up on secrets, and the gossip mill wings into high gear, the brand–new life Lara's searching for becomes ever more elusive. There's a lot of catching up for everyone to do, and Lara's return is going to be anything but a walk in the park. Praise for To the Moon and Back: "A tremendous look at friendship, hope, romance, and second chances."—RT Book Reviews, 4 stars "A romantic and lighthearted story...fans will eat this story up."—Publishers Weekly "Mansell crafts a lovely story with multiple plotlines, characters, and love interests."—USA Today "Absolutely, positively and outstanding story."—Night Owl Reviews Reviewer Top Pick, 5 stars

Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.

Book excerpt: This is a dystopian social science fiction novel and morality tale. The novel is set in the year 1984, a fictional future in which most of the world has been destroyed by unending war, constant government monitoring, historical revisionism, and propaganda. The totalitarian superstate Oceania, ruled by the Party and known as Airstrip One, now includes Great Britain as a province. The Party uses the Thought Police to repress individuality and critical thought. Big Brother, the tyrannical ruler of Oceania, enjoys a strong personality cult that was created by the party's overzealous brainwashing methods. Winston Smith, the main character, is a hard-working and skilled member of the Ministry of Truth's Outer Party who secretly despises the Party and harbors rebellious fantasies.
