Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Readings in English History In offering to teachers of English history a new collection of readings the compilers of this volume believe that they arc meeting a widely recognized need. The time was when teachers in convention discussed the value of such collateral reading. Now they seek for ways and means. The value of the work is no longer in question. The general sentiment of teachers and the requirements of the colleges alike demand more than the best textbook can offer. The new demand, however, creates new problems. Where and how may suitable readings be obtained? The best equipment, undoubtedly, is furnished by a large school library with a great variety of books from which to choose and many duplicate copies of the most useful works. Hut the expense involved is very great - so great as to be in many cases prohibitory. The best alternative appears to he a collection of such extracts as arc suited to the purpose. By this means the pupil is furnished at moderate cost with the best a library affords. If the selections prove interesting he is impelled to go further afield by himself. The selection of such material is not easy. The need is for vivid and interesting reading calculated to produce a clear and definite impression. At first sight the field from which one may choose appears wide and fruitful, but it soon narrows down to a very limited area. Selections from the sources ''have been widely recommended and somewhat lavishly supplied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English History Drawn From the Original Sources: Intended to Illustrate a Short History of England All intelligent teachers of history realize the desira bility of having their students do more reading of history than is contained in the text-book, and most of them agree that this is best found in records and writings contemporary with the events being studied. But the practical problem of providing such readings for classes is by no means easy to solve. Those who have tried to procure the necessary number of copies of books, to dis cover English translations, to find applicable passages, and to make practicable requirements best know the difii culties of the task. I hope that this book of readings from the original sources of English history will help to overcome these obstacles.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings From English History, Vol. 2: From Cressy to Cromwell But on every man and woman personally, by head, which was hence called a poll-tax. This was levied from people who had till now been free from taxation, and who were just awaking to the injustice of their state as serfs, or bondsmen, bound to do service in labour on their lords' lands. A preacher named John Ball fanned the discontent into a temper of rebellion; and in 1381 the commons rose in the Peasant Revolt.

This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Gandhi to Osama bin Laden, from Mao to Churchill, and from Kipling to Salman Rushdie, Twentieth Century Voices: Selected Readings in World History offers a wide variety of primary sources for students of the Twentieth Century world. While all students will benefit from these readings, Michael G. Vann used his expertise in teacher training to specifically compile this collection to prepare students who intend to teach in California high school classrooms. Thus, the sources are organized with an eye to the California State Standards for 10th grade World History. Furthermore, Vann, an active member of the World History Association and an officer in the California World History Association (a WHA regional affiliate), has framed these primary sources with current trends in the historiography of World History. Specifically, the collection rejects discounted Eurocentric narratives and gives voice to traditionally marginalized historical actors in the history of imperialism, communism, and the Cold War. Along with many classic documents from key historical moments, readers will find several sources that challenge conventional wisdom about this tumultuous century. Michael G. Vann is an Associate Professor of World History at Sacramento State University, vice president of the California World History Association, and a past president of the French Colonial Historical Society. In addition to teaching World History for undergraduate and graduate students, he offers courses on imperialism, Southeast Asia, and genocide. Vann is active in teacher training for California high school teachers. His publications include The Colonial Good Life: A Commentary on Andre Joyeux s Vision of French Indochina, a special issue of the World History Association Bulletin on France in World History, and over a dozen academic journal articles on French colonialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recommended English Readings for High Schools The purpose of this book is to provide for each half year in the four years of the high school course a list of books adapted to the age of the pupils and so grouped as to suggest a special interest every term. Conditions vary so widely, that teachers will often wish to direct their pupils in one term to the groups suggested for another term. No book can take the place of per sonal contact between teacher and pupil. It has seemed, how ever, in the main, that much time could be saved for busy teachers by providing for every pupil an outline such as this. Dictation of lists is a waste of class time; copying posted lists is a waste of pupils' time outside of class. Questions will naturally arise as to the reason for choosing certain groups for certain terms. While the arrangement is not intended to be hard and fast, and the Index will make it easy for the teacher to select groups in whatever order he desires, there have been definite purposes in view.

This book was released on 1974-08-29 with total page 1322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than fifty specialists have contributed to this new edition of volume 1 of The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.
