Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Half Century of Minneapolis The general plan of the book has been that of grouping events of common interest rather than the chronological listing of happenings without regard to their relations and significance. With this design in mind the first seven chapters and the last are devoted to sketching several not definitely limited periods in the city's history, while Chapters VIII to XXVIII, inclusive, take up separate phases of the life and activities of the city, each account being in a measure complete in itself. In this method of treating the history of Minneapolis, much in the way of anecdote and reminiscence of the pioneers - which would find a place in a more extended work - has been, of necessity, omitted. Many side lights, however, are thrown upon the story of the city in the biographical sketches of men who have had a part in its building. These brief sketches will give an insight into the character of the people of Minneapolis which, possibly, could be oh tained in no other way, and will give to outsiders an explanation of many things which may seem to them incredible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Minnesota: A History for Children IN giving to the public this little book on the History of Minnesota, the author makes no claim that much is presented in the way of new material, but hopes that the fact that it is written for chil dren will make it possible, as it has not been before, for the children of Minnesota to learn the history of her past and hence to love it. While many things are necessarily omitted, not only for lack of space, but also because they are not of particular interest to children, the aim throughout the work is accuracy.

Download or read book On Being Well Coordinated written by Fred Basolo and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2003-10-14 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable book distils the research accomplishments of Professor Fred Basolo during the five decades when he served as a world leader in the modern renaissance of inorganic chemistry. Its primary focus is on the very important area of chemistry known as coordination chemistry. Most of the elements in the periodic table are metals, and most of the chemistry of metals involves coordination chemistry. This is the case in the currently significant areas of research, including organometallic homogenous catalysis, biological reactions of metalloproteins, and even the solid state extended structures of new materials. In these systems, the metals are of primary importance because they are the sites of ligand substitution or redox reactions. In the solid materials, the coordination number of the metal and its stereochemistry are of major importance. Some fifty years of research on transition metal complexes carried out in the laboratory of Professor Basolo at Northwestern University is recorded here as selected scientific publications. The book is divided into three different major research areas, each dealing with some aspect of coordination chemistry. In each case, introductory remarks are presented which indicate what prompted the research projects and what the major accomplishments were. Although the research was of the academic, curiosity-driven type, some aspects have proven to be useful to others involved in projects that were much more applied in nature. Contents: Ligand Substitution Reactions of Transition Metal ComplexesApplication of Reaction Mechanisms to the Synthesis of Metal ComplexesCarbon Monoxide Substitution Reactions of Metal CarbonylsMetal Nitrosyl CarbonylsCatalysis of CO Substitution in Metal CarbonylsMigratory Insertion ReactionsOxygen Atom Transfer to Metal CarbonylsSynthetic Oxygen Carries of Biological Interestand other papers Readership: Researchers in the solution of metals, as well as bioinorganic, organometallic and solid state chemistry.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minnesota Brief Sketches of Its History, Resources and Opportunities If the hills and valleys of our state could answer to our questioning; if the sighing of its pine forests were a language; if its thousands of limpid lakes, flashing back the brightness of the sun, could reflect the scenes that have been mirrored in them; if its boundless prairies could repeat the story of their transformation from the roaming-ground of herds of bison into waving seas of grain; if the rich mines of iron ore at the north could tell of the persistent prospecting and the enterprise in railway building that unlocked their wealth; if we could hear such voices from the past, we should be thrilled with the romantic narrative of Minnesota, and our hearts would be deeply stirred with sympathy for the hardships and persevering courage of its people, and with admiration for their achievements. Previous to the settlement of this area by white immigration, which may be said to have begun in 1849, when the Territory of Minnesota was organized, there were nearly two hundred years of gradually increasing knowledge of the geography of this state. During the first century, its explorers were French, chiefly led to this distant region for the profits of the fur trade. In the first half of the second century, after the British conquest of Canada, the explorers were English-speaking traders and travelers; and in its latter half, expeditions sent by the United States government to acquire information of the unsettled parts of the Northwest Territory and of the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase. The entire history to be here briefly sketched is thus divisible into three parts: 1. The period of French exploration in Minnesota, from 1655 to 1763, the date of the cession of Canada to the English; 2. The period of English colonial and United States exploration, from 1763 to 1849; 3. The period of Minnesota's territorial and state development, from 1849 to 1904. The three periods together span two and a half centuries. About a third of this state, lying east of the Mississippi and of a line drawn to the north from its head at Lake Itasca, belonged to the Northwest Territory, for which Congress enacted the Ordinance of 1787. The other two-thirds were acquired by the United States in the Louisiana Purchase, negotiated with the government of France under Napoleon, April 30, 1803.

Download or read book The Pastor s Library written by Robert A. Yost and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spirit of Cyril Barber’s classic work from the 1970s, The Minister’s Library, Robert Yost provides students and pastors with expert guidance on building a working ministerial library. From Old and New Testament languages, lexical aids, and grammatical tools, to commentaries and theologies as well as pastoral resources, Yost is a trustworthy guide through the multiplicity of books that seem to just keep rolling off the presses. Far more than just a guide to commentaries as are so many works today, this resource is a balanced pastoral tool for pastors and students who are overwhelmed by the proliferation of literature in the fields of biblical and pastoral studies.
Download or read book The Last Half Century written by Morris Janowitz and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1978 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Last Half-Century represents the culmination of a lifetime of scholarship by Morris Janowitz. In this comprehensive and systematic analysis of the major trends in American society during the past fifty years, he probes the weakening of popular party affiliations and the increased inability of elected representatives to rule. Centering his work on the crucial concept of social control, Janowitz orders and assesses a vast amount of empirical research to clarify the failure of basic social institutions to resolve our chronic conflicts. For Janowitz, social control denotes a society's capacity to regulate itself within a moral framework that transcends simple self-interest. He poses urgent questions: Why has social control been so drastically weakened in our advanced industrial society? And what strategies can we use to strengthen it again? The expanation rests in part on the changes in social structure which make it more and more complicated for citizens to calculate their political self-interest. At the same time, complex economic and defense problems also strain an already overburdened legislative system, making effective, responsive political rule increasingly difficult. Janowitz concludes by assessing the response of the social sciences to the pressing problem of social control and asserts that new forms of citizen participation in the government must be found.
