Download or read book Young Folks History of Russia Classic Reprint written by Nathan Haskell Dole and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young Folks' History of Russia It has been well said by a recent author that the aim of all the great reforms made in Russia since Peter the Great has been to undo what he did or tried to do. That struggle is still going on, and with Such throes that it sometimes seems as though the building itself must fall in ruins. The history of modern Russia is the history of a transition, and must needs be unfinished until the transition is complete. The death of an emperor or the execution of an assassin is not the end of an epoch. In a book for young people a long list of authorities may be spared; it is sufficient to state that the facts have been drawn from the best sources, - Russian, German, French, and English. In the first part Russian names have been done away with English equivalents take their places. A table follows for convenience. In all cases difficult words are avoided so far as possible, and it is hoped that this Young Folks' History of Russia is at least readable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Germany: From Its Invasion by Marius to the Year 1850; For the Use of Young Persons The Roman writers who describe Germany as it was two thousand years ago, speak with horror of its cold and inhospitable climate, its heaths and swamps; and above all of a Wild tract of woodland, called the Hercynian Forest, which extended, as they were told, more than sixty days' journey in length, and nine in breadth. The inhabitants of this desolate region were men of gigantic stature, with fair complexions, long yellow hair, and large well-opened blue eyes. The clothing of both sexes was simple being nothing more than a woollen tunic without sleeves, which covered only the body, leaving the arms, legs, and thighs entirely unprotected. In some parts of the country the men wore skins of wild beasts, arranged in such a manner that the fur of the animal's head formed a hood, out of which a pair of blue eyes might be seen glaring fiercely beneath the grinning tusks of a boar, or the horns of a wild bull.

Download or read book Young Germany written by Walter Laqueur and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young Germany explores the revolt of the younger generation in Germany from 1896 to 1933. It is a readable history of the Free Youth Movement, one of the most significant factors in shaping modern Germany. Laqueur, who grew up in Germany, retraces the history of the movement, its central ideas, and its cultural background.Today his study is of even greater interest and importance than when it was first published in 1962.

It inspired all of the ideas which continue to preoccupy proponents and students of generational conflict today.
Download or read book Story of the World War for Young People Classic Reprint written by William Lewis Nida and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of the World War, for Young People A complete and impartial history of the World War cannot be written for some years, but the main facts, including the causes of the terrible struggle, are known today. Inasmuch as our soldiers are risking their lives on European battlefields, our boys and girls are eager to know what it is all about. They want to read about the war in language that they can understand. Teachers are bewildered with the great mass of material not yet put in small enough compass for pupil and teacher to use in the school room. The author of this book asked his upper grade teachers to teach the facts of this war even if the history of other wars had to be eliminated to do it, and met with this reply: "How can we teach what we ourselves do not know? Give us a book to guide us." Realizing that few teachers have either the time or the historical training needed to sift and organize the mass of information in print about the war today, the author has prepared this volume as a foundation upon which to build a study of the conflict that is occupying our deepest interests. We are no longer an isolated nation. We must teach our children the main facts and tendencies of world events. The study of the War can be made the basis of a wider study of present world history so that we may all understand the part we are playing in international affairs. So at the risk of some revision upon the raising of the censorship, the author has ventured to write this account for the boys and girls about the momentous affairs of today.

Download or read book A People s History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.
Download or read book Our Young Folks Abroad written by James D. McCabe and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Young Folks Abroad: The Adventures of Four American Boys and Girls in a Journey Through Europe to Constantinople Although many books of travel have appeared in past years, it has seemed to the author and the publishers of this volume that there is room for one which shall bring up before the young readers of this country the principal places and scenes of the most charming portions of the Old World, together with such incidents of their history and romance as will interest without fatiguing. The plan adopted has some elements of novelty. An American gentleman and his wife sail for Europe, taking with them their son and daughter, and their nephew and niece. They travel through portions of England, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, until they reach Genoa. There they engage a swift-sailing yacht, and make a pleasant summer cruise in the Mediterranean, visiting Mentone, Monaco, Nice, Leghorn, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Palermo, and other points in Sicily, Athens, and Constantinople, where the voyage is brought to an end. The narrative consists of a recital of their adventures, the wonderful things they saw, and the impressions of the younger portion of the party. The author has not relied solely upon his imagination in the treatment of his subject, for while the names and characters of the travellers are fictitious, he has drawn freely upon his own experience during several visits to Europe. His aim, throughout, has been to instruct, as well as to amuse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
