Download or read book Builders and Deserters written by Peter Konecny and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1999-10-19 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a student meant much more than simply attending classes. The new Soviet student was expected to engage in activities ranging from work in local Communist Party organizations to participation in collectivization brigades in the countryside. Builders and Deserters explores how student attempts to accommodate personal ambition and established cultural traditions with the numerous obligations that came from their privileged status led to a difficult relationship with the state. Konecny discusses changes in the higher education system and everyday life from the pre-revolutionary period to the beginning of World War II. He also considers the world of politics and political activism, training in and out of the classroom, and the ways in which students both conformed to and deviated from explicit standards of social conduct and "Communist morality" under Stalinism. This is the first comprehensive analysis of the important role played by students in the Soviet socialist revolution during the inter-war period. The breadth of subject matter and thematic issues will interest scholars and students of Soviet history, as well as specialists in comparative education and youth culture.

Download or read book The Fountain of Youth written by Douglas V. Maurer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the teeming frontier wilderness of northeast Florida, the Fountain of Youth chronicles the continuing saga of the Ribault family. Investing each generation with its own identity as historical events both factual and metaphysical unfold, one idea survives: to discover the mythic fountain of youth. More than Montezumas treasure or El Dorado, this secluded hideaway had become a holy grail for the Ribaults. Deep in the dense forest of the Marshlandic Kingdom, the quest for Ponce de Leons miracle springs was conducted as generations explored and mapped the region before Napoleon Ribault finally makes a mythic discovery.
