Download or read book Lafayette written by Mary McCosker and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's Lafayette is a modern East Bay suburb with a long and intriguing history of people, agriculture, and commerce. The story began in the summer of 1846, when Elam Brown and 13 families left St. Joseph, Missouri, in wagon trains and embarked on a sixmonth journey west to establish new homes and lives. By February 1848, Brown and his family had purchased the Rancho Acalanes in Contra Costa County from a San Francisco financier and had established the settlement that would later became Lafayette. Gradually Brown sold his land to other settlers, and the community began to grow. Eventually homes, stores, roads, schools, and churches were built. In these pages, the genesis of Lafayette, along with the story of its creators and early residents, is revealed in stirring early imagery.

Book Synopsis The Boys' Life of Lafayette [Illustrated] by : Helen Nicolay
Download or read book The Boys' Life of Lafayette [Illustrated] written by Helen Nicolay and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1920. Helen Nicolay's The Boys' Life of Lafayette is a historical biography that has become familiar in almost every American home, and in this case it is written and illustrated in a style that makes it a double inspiration for study on the part of the newcomer in the midst of us. Here the new American will get a great deal of Washington, as well as of Lafayette, but also of the young Frenchman's home life, and of the noble wife that never complained at being left alone while her husband was across the sea fighting against autocratic tyranny. Mrs. Nicolay enlarges her book with some of Lafayette's share in the French Revolution, which will be a double service to her young reader and the older people who need especially a thorough understanding of the spirit of Lafayette. -The Brooklyn Daily Eagle (Jan. 17, 1921) Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette (6 September 1757 - 20 May 1834), in the U.S. often known simply as Lafayette, was a French aristocrat and military officer who fought in the American Revolutionary War. A close friend of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson, Lafayette was a key figure in the French Revolution of 1789 and the July Revolution of 1830. -Wikipedia Excerpt from The Boys' Life of Lafayette PREFACE This is no work of fiction. It is sober history; yet if the bare facts it tells were set forth without the connecting links, its preface might be made to look like the plot of a dime novel. It is the story of a poor boy who inherited great wealth; who ran away from home to fight for liberty and glory; who became a major-general before he was twenty years old; who knew every nook and corner of the palace at Versailles, yet was the blood-brother of American Indians; who tried vainly to save the lives of his king and queen; who was in favor of law, yet remained a rebel to the end of his days; who suffered an unjust imprisonment which has well been called "a night five years long"; who was twice practically Dictator of France; and who, in his old age, was called upon to make a great decision. But it is no work of fiction. It is only the biography of a French gentleman named Lafayette. ____________________________ CONTENTS OF "THE BOYS' LIFE OF LAFAYETTE" PREFACE I WARRIORS AND WILD BEASTS II EDUCATING A MARQUIS III A NEW KING IV AN UNRULY COURTIER V LEADING A DOUBLE LIFE VI A SEA-TURN VII AN AMERICAN PILGRIMAGE VIII AN ASTONISHING RECEPTION IX PROVING HIMSELF A SOLDIER X LETTERS XI A FOOL'S ERRAND XII FARCE AND TREACHERY XIII A LIAISON OFFICER XIV NEAR-MUTINY AND NEAR-IMPRISONMENT XV HELP-AND DISAPPOINTMENT XVI BLACK TREACHERY XVII PREPARING FOR THE LAST ACT XVIII YORKTOWN XIX "THE WINE OF HONOR" XX THE PASSING OF OLD FRANCE XXI THE TRICOLOR XXII THE SANS-CULOTTES XXIII POPULARITY AND PRISON XXIV SOUTH CAROLINA TO THE RESCUE!

Book Synopsis Elements of Japanese Design by : Boye Lafayette De Mente

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the elements of the timeless beauty that is Japanese design in this concise reference volume. Japanese design is known throughout the world for its beauty, its simplicity, and its blending of traditional and contemporary effects. This succinct guide describes the influence and importance of 65 key elements that make up Japanese design, detailing their origins—and their impact on fields ranging from architecture and interior design to consumer products and high fashion. Learn, for example, how the wabi sabi style that's so popular today developed from the lifestyle choices made by monks a thousand years ago. And how unexpected influences—like tatami (straw mats) or seijaku (silence)—have contributed to contemporary Japanese design. Elements of Japanese Design offers new insights into the historical and cultural developments at the root of this now international aesthetic movement. From wa (harmony) to kaizen (continuous improvement), from mushin (the empty mind) to mujo (incompleteness), you'll discover how these elements have combined and evolved into a powerful design paradigm that has changed the way the world looks, thinks and acts. Chapters include: Washi, Paper with Character Ikebana, Growing Flowers in a Vase Bukkyo, The Impact of Buddhism Shibui, Eliminating the Unessential Kawaii, The Incredibly "Cute" Syndrome Katana, Swords with Spirit

Book Synopsis Lafayette: Hero of the American Revolution by : Gonzague Saint Bris
Download or read book Lafayette: Hero of the American Revolution written by Gonzague Saint Bris and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-05-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rousing story of Lafayette—aide-de-camp and “adopted son” of George Washington—exploring his vital role in the American Revolution. In this long-overdue history of Marquis Gilbert de Lafayette, acclaimed French author Gonzague Saint Bris recounts Lafayette's invaluable contributions to the American War of Independence and, later, the French Revolution of 1789. The first study of Lafayette to appear in almost ten years, Saint Bris’ new volume recounts the young Lafayette's personal friendship with George Washington, who went so far as to refer to Lafayette as his “adopted son,” and his pivotal role as Washington’s aide-de-camp in helping establish the fledgling American nation. Lafayette’s presence at the British surrender at Yorktown is a stark reminder of just how closely our forefather's victory hinged on the help of our French allies, who were roused into action by Lafayette himself. equally absorbing and less well known is Lafayette's idealistic but naive efforts to plant the fruits of the American-style democracy he so admired in the unreceptive soil of his homeland.
Book Synopsis Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies by : Danielle Aubert
Download or read book Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies written by Danielle Aubert and published by Metropolis Books. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lafayette Park, an affordable middle-class residential area in downtown Detroit, is home to the largest collection of buildings designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the world. Today, it is one of Detroit's most racially integrated and economically stable neighborhoods, although it is surrounded by evidence of a city in financial distress. Through interviews with and essays by residents; reproductions of archival material; and new photographs by Karin Jobst, Vasco Roma, and Corine Vermeulen, and previously unpublished photographs by documentary filmmaker Janine Debanné, Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies examines the way that Lafayette Park residents confront and interact with this unique modernist environment. Lafayette Park has not received the level of international attention that other similar projects by Mies have. This may be due in part to its location in Detroit, a city whose most positive qualities are often overlooked in the media. This book is a reaction against the way that iconic modernist architecture is often represented. Whereas other writers may focus on the design intentions of the architect, authors Aubert, Cavar and Chandani seek to show the organic and idiosyncratic ways that the people who live in Lafayette Park actually use the architecture and how this experience, in turn, affects their everyday lives. While there are many publications about abandoned buildings in Detroit and about the city's prosperous past, this book is about a remarkable part of the city as it exists today, in the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis Big Truths for Young Hearts by : Bruce A. Ware
Download or read book Big Truths for Young Hearts written by Bruce A. Ware and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2009-03-31 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equips parents to guide their young children through all major doctrines in an understandable, chapter-a-day format. Sure, it's easy to teach your children the essentials of Christian theology when you're a theology professor. But what about the rest of us? With Big Truths for Young Hearts, Bruce Ware, (you guessed it!) a theology professor, encourages and enables parents of children 6-14 years of age to teach through the whole of systematic theology at a level their children can understand. Parents can teach their children the great truths of the faith and shape their worldviews early, based on these truths. The book covers ten topics of systematic theology, devoting several brief chapters to each subject, making it possible for parents to read one chapter per day with their children. With this non-intimidating format, parents will be emboldened to be their children's primary faith trainers-and perhaps learn a few things themselves along the way.
