Book Synopsis The Eldest Daughter Effect by : Lisette Schuitemaker
Download or read book The Eldest Daughter Effect written by Lisette Schuitemaker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What do Angela Merkel, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christine Lagarde, Oprah Winfrey, Sheryl Sandberg, JK Rowling and Beyoncé have in common?" was the headline in the English newspaper The Observer in 2014. "Other than riding high in Forbes list of the world’s most powerful women," journalist Tracy McVeigh wrote in answer to her own question, "they are also all firstborn children in their families. Firstborn children really do excel." So what does it mean to be an eldest daughter? Firstborns Lisette Schuitemaker and Wies Enthoven set out to discover the big five qualities that characterize all eldest daughters to some degree. Eldest daughters are responsible, dutiful, thoughtful, expeditious and caring. Firstborns are more intelligent than their siblings, more proficient verbally and more motivated to perform. Yet at the same time they seriously doubt that they are good enough. Being an eldest daughter can have certain advantages, but the overbearing sense of responsibility often gets in the way. Parents may worry about their ‘difficult’ eldest girl who wants to be perfect in everything she does whilst her siblings may not always understand her. "The Eldest Daughter Effect" shows how firstborn girls become who they are and offers insights that can give them more freedom to move. And parents will gain a better understanding of their firstborn children and can support them more fully on their way.

This process can easily separate the professional from the amateur or part time agent. Professional Real Estate Agents and Real Estate Brokers face a tough challenge every day. Negotiating an offer written on behalf of a buyer; Professional Realtors stand out from the general public as experts in their field. Whether it's a matter of disclosure requirements, ethics or simply due diligence on behalf of a transaction, it's important to seek the advice and representation of a true full time professionally licensed Realtor in every real estate transaction regardless of what side you may be on.

"It is my intent to supply the reader an easy to understand publication that they can use as they proceed in searching for their new home or additional property for their family, future and investments."

Book Synopsis The Children who Fought Hitler by : Sue Elliott
Download or read book The Children who Fought Hitler written by Sue Elliott and published by John Murray. This book was released on 2010-05-13 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people know that Ypres, centre of First World War remembrance, was once home to a thriving British community that played a heroic role in the Second World War. This expatriate outpost grew around the British ex-servicemen who cared for the war memorials and cemeteries of 'Flanders Fields'. Many married local women and their children grew up multi-lingual, but attended their own school and were intensely proud to be British. When Germany invaded in 1940 the community was threatened: some children managed to escape, others were not so lucky. But, armed with their linguistic skills and local knowledge, pupils of the British Memorial School were uniquely prepared to fight Hitler in occupied territory and from Britain. Still in their teens, some risked capture, torture and death in intelligence and resistance operations in the field. An exceptional patriotism spurred them on to feats of bravery in this new conflict. Whilst their peers at home were being evacuated to the English countryside, these children were directly exposed to danger in one of the major theatres of war. James Fox was a pupil at the British Memorial School in 1940 and he has made it his mission to trace his former school friends. The Children Who Fought Hitler is their story: a war story about people from an unusual community, told from a fresh and human perspective.

Book Synopsis Child Labor in America by : Chaim M. Rosenberg
Download or read book Child Labor in America written by Chaim M. Rosenberg and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-08-02 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the close of the 19th century, more than 2 million American children under age 16--some as young as 4 or 5--were employed on farms, in mills, canneries, factories, mines and offices, or selling newspapers and fruits and vegetables on the streets. The crusaders of the Progressive Era believed child labor was an evil that maimed the children, exploited the poor and suppressed adult wages. The child should be in school till age 16, they demanded, in order to become a good citizen. The battle for and against child labor was fought in the press as well as state and federal legislatures. Several federal efforts to ban child labor were struck down by the Supreme Court and an attempt to amend the Constitution to ban child labor failed to gain enough support. It took the Great Depression and New Deal legislation to pass the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (and receive the support of the Supreme Court). This history of American child labor details the extent to which children worked in various industries, the debate over health and social effects, and the long battle with agricultural and industrial interests to curtail the practice.
