Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verner's Pride The rays of the afternoon sun, drawing towards the horizon, fell on a fair scene of country life; flickered through the young foliage of the oak and lime-trees, touched the budding hedges, rested on the growing grass, all lovely in their early green, and lighted up the windows of the fine mansion, that, rising on a gentle eminence, looked down on that fair scene as if it were its master, and could boast the ownership of those broad lands, of those glinting trees. Not that the house possessed attraction for those whose taste inclined to the antique. No time-worn turrets were there, or gabled ends, or crooked eaves, or mullioned Gothic casements. Neither was the edifice constructed of grey stone, or of bricks toned down with age. It was a handsome, well-built white mansion, giving promise of excellent rooms within, whose chimneys never smoked or windows rattled, and where there was sufficient space to turn in. The lower windows opened on a gravelled terrace, which ran the whole length of the house, a broad flight of steps descending from its centre. Lawns, gently sloping, extended from the terrace, on either side the steps and the broad walk which branched from them; lawns gay with parterres of flowers already scenting the air, and giving promise of the advancing summer. Beyond, were covered walks, yielding a shelter from the sultry noontide sun; shrubberies and labyrinths of intricate turnings and windings, suggestive of secret meetings, were secret meetings desirable; groves of scented shrubs; cascades and rippling fountains; mossy dells, concealing the sweet primrose, the sweeter violet; and verdant spots open to the country round, the charming distant scenery. These open places were supplied with benches, where you might sit and feast the eyes upon the exquisite views through the livelong summer day. It was not summer yet - scarcely spring - and the sun, I say, was drawing to its setting, lighting up the large clear windows as with burnished gold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verner's Pride, Vol. 1 of 3 And that is the introduction. And now we must go back to the golden light of that spring evening. Ascending the broad flight of steps and crossing the terrace, the house door is entered. A spacious hall, paved with delicately-grained marble, its windows mellowed by the soft tints of stained glass, whose pervading hues: are Of rose and violet, gives entrance to reception rooms on either side. Those on the right-hand are mostly reserved for state occasions; those on the left are dedicated to common use. All these rooms are just now empty Of living occupants, save one. That one is a small room on the right, behind the two grand drawing rooms, and it looks out on the s1de Of the house towards the south. It is called Mr. Verner's study. And there sits Mr. Verner himself in it, leaning back in his chair and reading. A large fire burns in the grate, and he is close to it: he is always chilly. Ay, always chilly. For Mr. Verner's last illness at least, what will in all probability prove his last; his ending - has already laid hold Of him. One gene ration passes away after another. It seems but the other day that a last illness seized upon his father, and now it is his turn: but several years have elapsed since then. Mr. Verner is not sixty, and he thinks that age is young for the disorder that has fastened on him. It is no hurried disorder; he may live for years yet; but the end, when it does come, will be tolerably sudden: and that he knows. It is water on the chest. He is a little man with light eyes; very much like what his father was before him: but not in the least like his late brother Sir Lionel, who was a very fine and handsome man. He has a mild, pleasing countenance: but there arises a slight scowl to his brow as he turns hastily round at a noisy interruption. Some one had burst into the room - forgetting, probably, that it was the quiet room of an invalid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verner's Pride, Vol. 3 of 3 Agitated with these and many other conflicting thoughts, Lionel lay on his uneasy bed, and saw in the morning light. He did not rise until his usual hour: he would have risen far earlier but for the fear of disturbing Sibylla. To lie there, a prey to these reflections, to this terrible suspense, was intolerable to him, but he would not risk the waking her. The day might prove long enough and bad enough for her, without arousing her to it before her time. He rose, but she slept on still: Lionel did wonder how she could. Not until he was going out of the room, dressed, did she awake She awoke with a start. It appeared as if recollection, or partial recollection, of the last night's trouble flashed' over her. She pushed aside the curtain, and called to him in a sharp tone of terror. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Adult Learner written by Malcolm S. Knowles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
