Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twentieth Century Child I Have understood from a proverb to that effect, that "bachelors' wives and old maids' children" are objects of much scorn to the experience married person and parent; but no one has ever said a word in condemnation of bachelors' children. Another proverb which intimates that lookers-on see most of the game may apparently be applied to their case. A large number of children - the majority, I suppose - confide everything about themselves to their parents, and nothing about their parents or home to anybody else. A certain number of others confide everything about their home and their parents to some outside friend, and regard all their guardians as quaint specimens of natural history, rather liable to bite, most comfortable at a distance, but quite interesting topics for conversation with intimate friends. The former and more common kind of home-life one watches with love and envy, but with no more intimate comprehension than may come from memories of ones own childhood.

Download or read book The Child s Conception of the World written by Jean Piaget and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2007-09-09 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A milestone of child psychology, The Child's Conception of the World explores the ways in which the reasoning powers of young children differ from those of adults. What conceptions of the world does the child naturally form at the different stages of its development? To what extent does the child distinguish the external world from an internal or subjective world and what limits does he or she draw between the self and objective reality? These questions make up the first problem, the child's notion of reality. A second fundamental problem is the significance of explanations put forward by the child. What use does he or she make of the notions of cause and law? Is the form of explanation presented by the child a new type? These and like questions form the second problem, the child's notion of causality. Jacques Voneche, Director of the Piaget Archives in Geneva, Switzerland, provides a preface to this classic in which he reveals the provanance of The Child's Conception of the World within the context of Piaget's other work and the then-burgeoning field of developmental psychology.

Download or read book The Story of a Child Classic Reprint written by Margaret Deland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of a Child is written by the American novelist, short story writer, and poet Margaret Deland. Through her writing, Deland promoted and engaged in the literary realism movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This movement encouraged authors to write about contemporary life and society as they knew it in the spirit of creating realism in novels and other forms of writing as opposed to the more romanticized or sensationalized works that society had become accustomed to reading. Truly a master of the style, Deland's narrative is compelling and realistic enough to convince even the most skeptical reader. In this novel, Deland explores what it was like to grow up in late nineteenth century America in the confines of what, on the surface, appears to be a normal family. But no life is without conflict, and true to her exploration of realism, Deland tackles the conflict within her setting head on without apology. Only by overcoming their major conflicts can the family prove that it's the ties that bind are always the strongest. Even the oddest family members have their moments at center stage in an effort to come to the aid of the rest of the family in this most difficult of changes. Deland's ability to establish engaging and exciting characters remains unmatched to this day, and as a result this book stands out as a very significant piece of American literature. The Story of a Child is an American novel written during the literary realism movement and echoes the beliefs of that movement. Deland creates an interesting glimpse into the late 1800s family and the challenges this family, especially the growing children, must face. This book is an engaging and entertaining read for anyone interested in realistic novels, history, and classic literature.

Download or read book Wastepaper Modernism written by Joseph Elkanah Rosenberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Henry James' fascination with burnt manuscripts to destroyed books in the fiction of the Blitz; from junk mail in the work of Elizabeth Bowen to bureaucratic paperwork in Vladimir Nabokov; modern fiction is littered with images of tattered and useless paper that reveal an increasingly uneasy relationship between literature and its own materials over the course of the twentieth-century. Wastepaper Modernism argues that these images are vital to our understanding of modernism, disclosing an anxiety about textual matter that lurks behind the desire for radically different modes of communication. At the same time that writers were becoming infatuated with new technologies like the cinema and the radio, they were also being haunted by their own pages. Having its roots in the late-nineteenth century, but finding its fullest constellation in the wake of the high modernist experimentation with novelistic form, "wastepaper modernism" arises when fiction imagines its own processes of transmission and representation breaking down. When the descriptive capabilities of the novel exhaust themselves, the wastepaper modernists picture instead the physical decay of the book's own primary matter. Bringing together book history and media theory with detailed close reading, Wastepaper Modernism reveals modernist literature's dark sense of itself as a ruin in the making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Radiant Motherhood: A Book for the Twentieth Century Mother Yet far be it from me to ignore or forget the claims of father hood. A father is his child's defender, his model, his court of last resort. A home without a father, children brought up by the mother only, because death has snatched away the father, are objects of pity. The in uence of both parents is needed for the symmetrical development of childhood. The mans province is in the open. The woman's is eternally within the home. She touches the finer issues, she holds the keys of destiny. As she impresses her sons and daughters, so will they be stamped for all time.

Download or read book The Child s Story of the Greatest Century Classic Reprint written by Charles Morris and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child's Story of the Greatest Century If any of my young friends are newspaper readers, they must have seen a great deal said in the beginning of the year 1900 about the Nineteenth Century. Thus there was quite a dispute about when it began and when it ended. Some said it began with the year 1800 and ended with the year 1899. Others said it began January 1, 1801, and ended at the close of December, 1900. Nearly everybody thought the last dates to be the right ones, for they said that the first century began on the first day of the year 1, the second century on the first day of the year 101, and all other centuries in the same way, till the nineteenth century, which began with the year 1801. I do not think we need trouble ourselves much about this. I am not writing this book to tell when the nineteenth century be an and ended, but what it was like and what great things took place in it. There have been many important centuries since the world began, but most men say that the nineteenth century was the most important of them all. It did more for man and for civilization than any two centuries that had gone before it. No one can know what history means, or what the progress of the world has been, unless he knows a great deal about this wonderful century. It has been the century of invention. When it began men did the most of their work with their hands; now they do the most of it with machines. It has been the century of science.

Download or read book Handwriting of the Twentieth Century written by Rosemary Sassoon and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating and wide-ranging book charts developments in the teaching and study of handwriting over the course of the twentieth century. The book shows how changing educational policies, economic forces and inevitable technological advance have combined to alter the priorities and form of handwriting. This 'long and sometimes sorry story' tells also of the sheer pain and hard work of children forced to follow the style of the day, and of the reformers who have sought to simplify the teaching and learning of handwriting over the years. Illustrated throughout with examples from copybooks and personal handwriting from across the world, the book is a compelling historical record of techniques, styles and methods.
