Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictures of Heroes and Lessons From Their Lives Some of the more scenic incidents in the long procession of History have been chosen for description in the following pages. The moment has generally been selected when the great man of the age was at his greatest, or when the age had most need of its great man. Whether we regard the latter as the doer of the work, or simply as the tool by which the work was done when the time was ripe for the doing of it, it is still the Individual who arrests our sympathies, and who images the time to our apprehensions. These Etudes offer no unity of design. They are as roving as the steps of the artist who wanders up and down in search of picturesque effects, filling his sketch-book at the prompting of wayward fancy.

The book provides an understanding of how ideas are shaped in American society by the interplay between government power, private enterprise, and organized advocacy groups. The story is complex with many different and conflicting strands. In a broad sense, it is the story of the public education of the American people. The book does not attempt to measure the actual effect of various media, but it does show what was intended for the education of the public mind by forces that shaped and continue to shape the content of schools, movies, and broadcasting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a curricular framework for students grades 6–12 that school librarians and teachers can use collaboratively to enhance reading skill development, promote literature appreciation, and motivate young people to incorporate reading into their lives, beyond the required schoolwork. Supporting Reading Grades 6–12: A Guideaddresses head-on the disturbing trend of declining leisure reading among students and demonstrates how school librarians can contribute to the development of lifelong reading habits as well as improve students' motivation and test scores. The book provides a comprehensive framework for achieving this: the READS curriculum, which stands for Read as a personal activity; Explore characteristics, history, and awards of creative works; Analyze structure and aesthetic features of creative works; Develop a literary-based product; and Score reading progress. Each of these five components is explained thoroughly, describing how school librarians can encourage students to read as individuals, in groups, and as school communities; support classroom teachers' instruction; and connect students to today's constantly evolving technologies. Used in combination with an inquiry/information-skills model, the READS curriculum enables school librarians to deliver a dynamic, balanced library program that addresses AASL's Standards for the 21st-Century Learner.
