Book excerpt: In the springtime of 1886, three women leave their comfortable homes and head out for a mountain retreat, bound for adventure and self-discovery. Addie's old friend Ethel has been away at the Territorial University of Washington for the past four years, earning her Bachelor of Science degree. So much has happened in that time, they scarcely know each other any more. When Ethel proposes a trip to a hot spring on Mt. Rainier that the other students raved about, it seems like a perfect opportunity to re-build old bonds and create new ones. Addie invites her friend Lizzie along, sure that the trip will become a golden memory for all of them. But as they head out to the mountain together, each woman carries the problems of home with her. On the eve of their departure, Addie makes a discovery that shakes her faith in her perfect marriage to its very core. Lizzie can't stop thinking about her own failure to realize her ultimate dream, and Ethel wonders if she'll ever work out what, exactly, it means to be a woman. Their journey together presents its own challenges, not the least of which begin when Ethel adopts an orphaned owl chick and decides to bring it along with them. Before they can all go home again, each of the three women will have to look to her friends for advice on dealing with life's difficult issues, and at the same time look within herself to find her own definition of womanhood.

Download or read book Bicycles and Tricycles written by James Zimmerhoff and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-10 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A BICYCLE or a tricycle is a more or less complex machine, and for a thorough appreciation of the stresses and strains to which it is subjected in ordinary use, and for its efficient design, an extensive knowledge of the mechanical sciences is necessary. Though an extensive literature on nearly all other types of machines exists, there is, strange to say, very little on the subject of cycle design ; periodical cycling literature being almost entirely confined to racing and personal matters. In the present work an attempt is made to g^ve a rational account of the stresses and strains to which the various parts of a cycle are sub- jected ; only a knowledge of the most elementary portions of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry being assumed, while graphical methods of demonstration are used as far as possible. It is hoped that the work will be of use to cycle riders who take an intelligent interest in their machines, and also to those engaged in their manufacture. The present type of rear-driving bicycle is the outcome of about ten years* practical experience. The old * Ordinary,' with its large front driving-wheel, straight fork, and curved backbone, was a model of simplicity of construction, Digitized by CjOOQIC vi Bicycles and Tricycles but with the introduction of a smaller driving-wheel, driven by gearing from the pedals, and the consequent greater complexity of the frame, there was more scope for variation of form of the machine. Accordingly, till a few years ago, a great variety of bicycles were on the market, many of them utterly wanting in scientific design. Out of these, the present-day rear-driving bicycle, with diamond-frame, extended wheel-base, and long socket steering-head -- the fittest -- has survived. A better techni- cal education on the part of bicycle manufacturers and their customers might have saved them a great amount of trouble and expense. Two or three years ago, when there seemed a chance of the dwarf front-driving bicycle coming into popular favour, the same variety in design of frame was to be seen ; and even now with tandem bicycles there are many frames on the market which evince on the part of their designers Utter ignorance of mechanical science. If the present work is the means of influencing makers, or purchasers, to such an extent as to make the manufacture and sale of such mechanical monstrosities in the future more difficult than it has been in the past, the author will regard his labours as having been entirely successful. The work is divided into three parts. Part I. is on Mechanics and the Strength of Materials, the illustrations and examples being taken with special reference to bicycles and tricycles ; Part II. treats of the cycle as a complete machine ; and Part 1 1 L treats in detail of the design of its various portions.
