Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Plan of Franklin Park and Related Matters The taking of land having been completed, instructions were given for the preparation of a plan in general accordance with the views which had determined the locality and the limits of the proposed park. In December, 1884, a series of propositions in regard to the principal features of the plan were submitted and approved by the Board. In the spring of 1885 a preliminary drawing of the plan was submitted, and, to facilitate discussion, the lines of it were fully staked on the ground and followed out by the Commissioners. After debate this study, with some immaterial variations, was approved as the basis of the final plan. Later, a change in the membership and a re-organization of the Board having occurred, the preliminary plan was reviewed and found acceptable. Still later the Commissioners, to be satisfied as to various conditions of park economy, visited and made a comparative examination of several large parks in use. January 30, 1886, at a meeting of the Commissioners held at the office of the Landscape Architect on the park site, the Mayor being present, the finished general plan was presented and considered. February 10, the Commissioners voted as follows: - (1) That the plan prepared by the Landscape Architect, now before the Board, is adopted as the Plan of Franklin Park. (2) That the Landscape Architect is requested to prepare a statement for publication explanatory of the plan, and setting forth the views of the undertaking that he has presented to the Board.

Download or read book Franklin Park written by Julie Arrison and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franklin Park was meant to be the crown jewel of the Emerald Necklace, Boston's famed park system. It was also meant to be the epitome of Frederick Law Olmsted's distinguished career as the father of American landscape architecture. Its 527 acres of open space have been a salvation from urban plight and also the center of urban controversy. Today the community around the park remains strong and depends upon the work of volunteers, advocacy groups, and the City of Boston. The photographs in Franklin Park have been collected from a variety of personal collections and public archives in an effort to illustrate the park's history from its inception in the 1880s through its rebirth in the 1990s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Benjamin Franklin Parkway has sliced through the Logan Square neighborhood of Center City (downtown) Philadelphia since World War I. Named after Philadelphia's favorite son, the mile-long boulevard begins at city hall and heads diagonally towards Logan Circle before reaching the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The postcards and other images in this work show the parkway's development and its role in Philadelphia's civic and cultural life. Despite often serving as a speedway into and out of town, the Ben Franklin Parkway is a triumph in urban planning that has become a treasured part of the City of Brotherly Love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Book excerpt: A classic work of American literature that has not stopped changing minds and lives since it burst onto the literary scene, The Things They Carried is a ground-breaking meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive power of storytelling. The Things They Carried depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and the character Tim O’Brien, who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three. Taught everywhere—from high school classrooms to graduate seminars in creative writing—it has become required reading for any American and continues to challenge readers in their perceptions of fact and fiction, war and peace, courage and fear and longing. The Things They Carried won France's prestigious Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize; it was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
