Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fresh-Air Book Mr. J. P. Muller scarcely needs an introduction to English students of Physical Culture, but a few particulars concerning his work and his career may be of interest to the general reader. Mr. Muller's first book, by which he is chiefly known, embodies (as he states in his preface) a Simple system of caring for the body, which is certainly unique in respect of the rubbing exercises or Skin massage, which form part of it. That system, the outcome of many years' serious study, has become widely known and appreciated throughout Scandinavia, Northern and Southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The book describing it has been translated into several languages, and over three hundred and fifty thousand copies have been printed, including a very large edition in English. Mr. Muller's idea is the human form perfectly developed, and he has gone for his models to the classic figures of ancient Greece, which, and the literature concerning them, he acknowledges as the origin of much of his inspiration and enthusiasm. (the famous statue of Apoxyomenos in the Vatican at Rome is his favourite). He is no idolator of muscle, as such; he does not believe in the development Of one portion of the body over another, but what he does desire is the all-round development, internal and external, of the human form, giving it health, and strength, and beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fresh Air Child "Wonder who that can be!" This exclamation was addressed by Mrs. Mary Brown to her own ears. The only creature in the room with her was Watch, the dog. If he heard her voice at all, as he lay behind the stove, he gave no heed to it. He had grown so accustomed to her habit of self-communication that he always waited until she addressed him directly before he gave heed. He had settled himself snugly to sleep, perhaps to dream of the woodchuck whose hole out in the orchard had been the subject of his investigation for the past few days. His mistress's conversation disturbed him not the least. "Whoever he is, he is coming in here," the woman continued. She had observed that the vehicle had stopped at the gate. A man had gotten out, and was just leading the horse through when she spoke the second time. There wasn't anything about the visitor that helped her to identify him. Though she knew every person, and every horse, and every vehicle within a radius of miles, these all refused to be placed. "Guess he's some one from town. Wants to engage some butter, maybe. Might have waited and seen Davy in town to-morrow. Let me see. Wouldn't promise him any before next month. Cows aren't doing very well yet. Wonder who he is, anyway!" By this time the stranger was hitching the horse at the post before the door. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fresh Air and How to Use It There is no point at which the campaign against tuberculosis has had a more beneficial effect on popular opinion than in the change of attitude toward the value of fresh air both in health and disease. Emphasized first as an agent of cure, the public is now beginning to recognize its value as a mode of prevention. There has resulted a demand for advice and information as to methods of obtaining fresh air which the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis is endeavoring to meet by the publication of the present volume. In preparing this book Dr. Carrington has kept constantly in mind the practical difficulties which the modern house dweller must meet in his attempt to avoid the evils of our present methods of construction. These difficulties serve also to emphasize the profound ignorance which surrounds the whole question of interior ventilation. No other problem of public hygiene is more in need of thorough investigation. The present widespread interest in the subject affords ground for hope that such investigation will not be long delayed.

This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fresh Air Charity in the United States After waiting several months for further replies, another attempt was made after this fashion. The Charity Organization Societies in all the cities of inhabitants or over, not already heard from, were addressed, this time with a personal letter to the secretary of the society. Any other agencies known to be doing Fresh Air work, but from whom no direct information had as yet been obtained, were similarly approached. Not infrequently, a correspondence protracted through the summer of 1896 was neces sary before the facts desired could be secured. The tables are them selves witnesses to not a few failures to make the returns complete. In New York City, the inquiry was simplified by easy access to the agencies themselves. Reliance upon correspondence was, if possible, less satisfactory here than elsewhere. Personal visits, ex plaining the purpose of the inquiry, proved the one effective way of ensuring the cooperation of the societies and churches con cerned.

Book excerpt: A beautiful collectible hardcover edition of the father of Korean American literature's "wonderfully resplendent evocation of a newcomer's America" (Chang-rae Lee, author of Native Speaker) A Penguin Vitae Edition Having fled Japanese-occupied Korea for the gleaming promise of the United States with nothing but four dollars and a suitcase full of Shakespeare to his name, the young, idealistic Chungpa Han arrives in a New York teeming with expatriates, businessmen, students, scholars, and indigents. Struggling to support his studies, he travels throughout the United States and Canada, becoming by turns a traveling salesman, a domestic worker, and a farmer, and observing along the way the idealism, greed, and shifting values of the industrializing twentieth century. Part picaresque adventure, part shrewd social commentary, East Goes West casts a sharply satirical eye on the demands and perils of assimilation. It is a masterpiece not only of Asian American literature but also of American literature. Penguin Vitae―loosely translated as "Penguin of one's life"―is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.
Download or read book The Hanging on Union Square written by H. T. Tsiang and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A subversively comic, genre-bending satire of bourgeois life by an essential Chinese American voice, featuring an introduction by New Yorker writer Hua Hsu, author of the acclaimed memoir Stay True A Penguin Classic It's Depression-era New York, and Mr. Nut, an oblivious American everyman, wants to strike it rich, even if at the moment he's unemployed, with no job prospects in sight. Over the course of a single night, in a narrative that unfolds hour by hour, he meets a cast of strange characters—disgruntled workers at a Communist cafeteria, lecherous old men, sexually exploited women, pesky authors—who eventually convince him to cast off his bourgeois aspirations for upward mobility and become a radical activist. Absurdist, inventive, and suffused with revolutionary fervor, and culminating in a dramatic face-off against capitalist power in the figure of the greedy businessman Mr. System, The Hanging on Union Square is a work of blazing wit and originality. More than eighty years after it was self-published, having been rejected by dozens of baffled publishers, it has become a classic of Asian American literature—a satirical send-up of class politics and capitalism and a shout of populist rage that still resonates today.

Download or read book Maisie Dobbs written by Jacqueline Winspear and published by Soho Press. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A female investigator every bit as brainy and battle-hardened as Lisbeth Salander." —Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air, on Maisie Dobbs Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was thirteen. Her employer, suffragette Lady Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright youngster under her wing. Lady Rowan's friend, Maurice Blanche, often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized Maisie’s intuitive gifts and helped her earn admission to the prestigious Girton College in Cambridge, where Maisie planned to complete her education. The outbreak of war changed everything. Maisie trained as a nurse, then left for France to serve at the Front, where she found—and lost—an important part of herself. Ten years after the Armistice, in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive. Her very first case involves suspected infidelity but reveals something very different. In the aftermath of the Great War, a former officer has founded a working farm known as The Retreat, that acts as a convalescent refuge for ex-soldiers too shattered to resume normal life. When Fate brings Maisie a second case involving The Retreat, she must finally confront the ghost that has haunted her for over a decade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “perfectly executed suspense tale very much in the mode of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca” (The Washington Post) from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10, The Lying Game, and The Turn of the Key. On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person—but also that the cold-reading skills she’s honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased…where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the center of it. Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspenseful style, this is a “captivating and eerie page-turner” (The Wall Street Journal) from the Agatha Christie of our time.
