Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara Thurston stood at the window of a large old-fashioned house, looking out into Connecticut Avenue. It was almost dark. An occasional light twinkled outside in the street, but the room in which Barbara was stationed was still shrouded in twilight. Suddenly she heard a curtain at the farther end of the drawing-room rustle faintly. Bab turned and saw a young man standing between the curtains, peering into the shadows with a pair of near-sighted eyes. Barbara started. The stranger had entered the room through a small study that adjoined it. He seemed totally unaware of any other presence, for he was whistling softly: "Kathleen Mavourneen."
Download or read book Sisters Schoolgirls and Sleuths written by Carolyn Carpan and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2008-12-04 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girls series books have been popular since the early 1840s, when books about Cousin Lucy, a young girl who learns about the world around her, first appeared. Since then, scores of series books have followed, several of them highly successful, and featuring some of the most enduring characters in fiction, such as Nancy Drew. In recent decades, series books like The Baby-Sitters Club and Sweet Valley High have become staples for young readers everywhere. In Sisters, Schoolgirls, and Sleuths: Girls' Series Books in America, Carolyn Carpan provides a social history of girls' series fiction published in America from the mid-19th century through the early 21st century. Carpan examines popular series, subgenres, themes, and characters found in approximately 100 series, noting how teenage girls are portrayed in girls' series fiction and how girls' series reflect or subvert the culture of the era in which they are produced. Her study also focuses on the creation, writing, and production of such books. This is the first study of American girls' series books to examine the entire genre from its beginnings in the 1840s to the present day, revealing facts about a sub-genre of children's and young adult literature that has rarely been studied. Appendixes in this volume include a listing of the girls' series covered in the book as well as important books about girls' series fiction.

Download or read book The Peep of Day written by Favell Lee Mortimer and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This one is more of a comprehensive study of the Bible that covers creations, the Life and death of Jesus, his Resurrection, Ascension into Heaven, and life after Jesus in the Bible and Revelations. It was a collection of the author's teaching notes published to educate mainly children in simple terms. Favell Lee Mortimer was a British Evangelical writer of educational books for children. Bevan supervised children's religious education on her father's estates, and her interest in academic writing developed from that experience. She created her own method of teaching children to read that was based on 'flash cards' rather than traditional books.

Download or read book The Electric Car in America 1890 1922 written by Kerry Segrave and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electric vehicle seemed poised in 1900 to be a leader in automotive production. Clean, odorless, noiseless and mechanically simple, electrics rarely broke down and were easy to operate. An electric car could be started instantly from the driver's seat; no other machine could claim that advantage. But then it all went wrong. As this history details, the hope and confidence of 1900 collapsed and just two decades later electric cars were effectively dead. They had remained expensive even as gasoline cars saw dramatic price reductions, and the storage battery was an endless source of problems. An increasingly frantic public relations campaign of lies and deceptive advertising could not turn the tide.

Download or read book Girls in Trouble with the Law written by Laurie Schaffner and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2006-09-06 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Girls in Trouble with the Law, sociologist Laurie Schaffner takes us inside juvenile detention centers and explores the worlds of the young women incarcerated within. Across the nation, girls of color are disproportionately represented in detention facilities, and many report having experienced physical harm and sexual assaults. For girls, the meaning of these and other factors such as the violence they experience remain undertheorized and below the radar of mainstream sociolegal scholarship. When gender is considered as an analytic category, Schaffner shows how gender is often seen through an outmoded lens. Offering a critical assessment of what she describes as a gender-insensitive juvenile legal system, Schaffner makes a compelling argument that current policies do not go far enough to empower disadvantaged girls so that communities can assist them in overcoming the social limitations and gender, sexual, and racial/ethnic discrimination that continue to plague young women growing up in contemporary United States.
