Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Services and Notices of George William Salter, of Washington, D. C: Born, Barnegat, N. J. December 30, 1853; Died, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, S. A. March 27, 1880 The father of the deceased was then one of the teachers of the Sabbath school, and, if I recollect aright, George was one of the boys brought by Brother Dyre to me for drill and instruction in regard to the coming Sabbath School celebration. I formed his acquaintance about that time, and I became more intimately acquainted with him afterwards. He was an associate of my own son, who has gone before, and was an intimate in my own family. I had, therefore, an opportunity to learn a great deal about him in his natural character, as well as in his subsequent developments. He was, what many have remarked of him to me, a natural born gentleman. He had those qualities of head and heart which won the esteem of all who came in contact with him. Amiable in character, he never, so far as I remember, expressed an unkind sentiment, but, on the contrary, his judgments always seemed to be dictated by kindness and love. Shortly after I removed my family to Washington, there was a class of four boys organized, of which George was one. Of these, but one now lives, J. Alexander Edgar, the Secretary of the Sabbath school, and the son of the Sabbath school Superintendent, and I am thankful that every one of those boys were brought into the fold. Our dear George was somewhat late in manifesting his adhesion to Christ, but we hear that it was not a death-bed repentance, but that the seed which had been planted, and the prayers which had gone up in his behalf in former years, had brought forth fruit, and that before the hand of disease was upon him he had considered the great subject of eternity and had given his heart to Christ, and he left a testimony - I believe it was contained in a letter to the Superintendent of his Sabbath school - in which he testified his hope of everlasting life. While I thank God for this very satisfactory conclusion of a career in these three cases, that was evinced under such favorable circumstances, we have reason to-day to be grateful above all things.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter objections of car manufacturers by a major scandal involving General Motors, its private detectives, Ralph Nader, and a gutty cigar-chomping old politician. The act is a success story for government safety regulation. It has cut highway death and injury rates by over seventy percent in the years since its enactment, saving more than two million lives and billions of taxpayer dollars. But the car safety wars have never ended. GM has recently been charged with covering up deadly defects resulting in multiple ignition switch shut offs. Toyota has been fined for not reporting fatal unintended acceleration in many models. Honda and other companies have—for years—sold cars incorporating defective air bags. These current events, suggesting a failure of safety regulation, may serve to warn us that safety laws and agencies created with good intentions can be corrupted and strangled over time. This book suggests ways to avoid this result, but shows that safer cars and highways are a hard road to travel. We are only part of the way home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is possible to eliminate death and serious injury from Canada’s roads. In other jurisdictions, the European Union, centres in the United States, and at least one automotive company aim to achieve comparable results as early as 2020. In Canada, though, citizens must turn their thinking on its head and make road safety a national priority. Since the motor vehicle first went into mass production, the driver has taken most of the blame for its failures. In a world where each person’s safety is dependent on a system in which millions of drivers must drive perfectly over billions of hours behind the wheel, failure on a massive scale has been the result. When we neglect the central role of the motor vehicle as a dangerous consumer product, the result is one of the largest human-made means for physically assaulting human beings. It is time for Canadians to embrace internationally recognized ways of thinking and enter an era in which the motor vehicle by-product of human carnage is relegated to history. No Accident examines problems related to road safety and makes recommendations for the way forward. Topics include types of drivers; human-related driving errors related to fatigue, speed, alcohol, and distraction and roads; pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit; road engineering; motor vehicle regulation; auto safety design; and collision-avoidance technologies such as radar and camera-based sensors on vehicles that prevent crashes. This multi-disciplinary study demystifies the world of road safety and provides a road map for the next twenty years.

Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.
