Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A City Reader for the Fourth Year This book is the outgrowth of the author's experience, as teacher and supervisor, with thousands of children in several public schools of New York City. Like many other teachers, she has found that the majority of children do not care for classical literature because they do not understand it. The classical literature of England and America does not represent modern industrial conditions. Its traditions are peculiarly those of the Anglo-Saxon race. The genius of authors leads them to treat of subjects beyond the comprehension of the average child, and the beauties of their style involve forms of language that are too difficult for most children. This book has been prepared with the above conditions in mind. The chief aims that have governed the selection of material are: (1) That the general limits of the content be determined by the city child's experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City and Town: A Fourth Reader Like its predecessor, City And Town, A Third Reader, this book primarily aims to stimulate the child's interest in city life. Recognizing the fact that most fourth readers deal with country life, the fairy story, the folk story, and the myth, nature study and geographical subjects, the author has endeavored to lighten the monotony of the child's reading plan by giving him an enticing background of everyday city and village life. The policeman, fireman, postman, street cleaner, and the many other figures familiar to the child of city or town, are dealt with in a manner to inform and interest, and through each story there runs an appeal to the awakening civic pride of the reader.

Download or read book The City Reader written by Richard T. LeGates and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixth edition of the highly successful The City Reader juxtaposes the very best classic and contemporary writings on the city to provide the comprehensive mapping of the terrain of Urban Studies and Planning old and new. The City Reader is the anchor volume in the Routledge Urban Reader Series and is now integrated with all ten other titles in the series. This edition has been extensively updated and expanded to reflect the latest thinking in each of the disciplinary areas included and in topical areas such as compact cities, urban history, place making, sustainable urban development, globalization, cities and climate change, the world city network, the impact of technology on cities, resilient cities, cities in Africa and the Middle East, and urban theory. The new edition places greater emphasis on cities in the developing world, globalization and the global city system of the future. The plate sections have been revised and updated. Sixty generous selections are included: forty-four from the fifth edition, and sixteen new selections, including three newly written exclusively for The City Reader. The sixth edition keeps classic writings by authors such as Ebenezer Howard, Ernest W. Burgess, LeCorbusier, Lewis Mumford, Jane Jacobs, and Louis Wirth, as well as the best contemporary writings of, among others, Peter Hall, Manuel Castells, David Harvey, Saskia Sassen, and Kenneth Jackson.

Download or read book City and Town written by Pauline Frost Rafter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City and Town: A Third Reader Third grade readers may be divided into two gen eral classes. The first of these lays strong emphasis upon the imaginative element in literature, as the fairy story, folk tale, fable, and myth. The second corre lates closely with nature study. Other features that may be included in these readers are employed merely to relieve the monotony of an otherwise one idea book. It is true that children are interested in, and should become acquainted with, both of the above types of readers, but such readers, excellent to a limited extent, are not adequate. A well-balanced reading plan should provide material which appeals to the many sides of the child's experience and to the multiplicity of his interests and tastes. Three definite objects have been kept in mind in the preparation of this book which is offered to satisfy the demand for variety.

Download or read book Under Bow Bells written by John Hollingshead and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under Bow Bells: A City Book for All Readers The twenty-five stories and sketches which compose this book are selected from certain papers written and published by me, during the last two years, in the "Household Words." They have been popular with the public and the press in a periodical form; and I hope they will not lose any of their popularity or readable quality in the form of a book. They have been placed together because they all deal with, or revolve round, one centre - the City; and being written with this design of future united republication, they fall naturally into their appointed places, without any elaborate introduction, any material alteration, or any laboured connecting link. This gives them their claim to their first title of "Under Bow Bells." Their second title of "A City book for all Readers" is given to them because, in accordance with the leading principle of the journal in which they originally appeared, they have endeavoured to retain some degree of fancy and imagination, while touching upon the driest subjects.

Download or read book Monsieur written by Lawrence Durrell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the olive trees of southern France to Gnostic cults in Egypt, a man and his lovers are invented and reinvented in this first volume of a great literary adventure. For British doctor Bruce Drexel, a return to Provence is bittersweet. Here, at a rustic chateau, he once fell in love with Sylvie, the Frenchwoman who would become his wife, and befriended her brother, Piers. The three made up a peculiar, potent ménage for years until Sylvie’s descent into madness and Piers’s suicide. As Drexel attends to Piers’s affairs, he becomes steeped in the memories of a spiritually transformational trip to Egypt; the band of intellectual confederates who used to be his intimate friends; and a three-sided love that became his reason for being. So begins Monsieur, the masterful first entry of Durrell’s Avignon Quintet, an infinite regress of memory and imagination that challenges the formal conventions of fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Country Reader, Vol. 1: Book One IN preparing this American edition of Mr. Buchanan's Country Readers, I have tried throughout to preserve the simple language of the English author. Naturally, many changes were necessary to make the book suitable for our American schools. Volume I is devoted entirely to farm animals, an arrangement which I think is highly desirable. Volume II will deal with the soil and crops. As Mr. Buchanan states in his preface to the English edition, this book is not intended for very young children, but for the older children of both our rural and city schools; children who are able to read and understand the meaning of ordinary English words. The value of reading - especially of reading aloud - in training the young mind is, I think, recognized by all. It is the aim of these readers to assist in this valuable training by presenting correct information about those things around us which we have found to be especially inter esting to the child.

Download or read book The Classical Hollywood Reader written by Steve Neale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Classical Hollywood Reader brings together essential readings to provide a history of Hollywood from the 1910s to the mid 1960s. Following on from a Prologue that discusses the aesthetic characteristics of Classical Hollywood films, Part 1 covers the period between the 1910s and the mid-to-late 1920s. It deals with the advent of feature-length films in the US and the growing national and international dominance of the companies responsible for their production, distribution and exhibition. In doing so, it also deals with film making practices, aspects of style, the changing roles played by women in an increasingly business-oriented environment, and the different audiences in the US for which Hollywood sought to cater. Part 2 covers the period between the coming of sound in the mid 1920s and the beginnings of the demise of the `studio system` in late 1940s. In doing so it deals with the impact of sound on films and film production in the US and Europe, the subsequent impact of the Depression and World War II on the industry and its audiences, the growth of unions, and the roles played by production managers and film stars at the height of the studio era. Part 3 deals with aspects of style, censorship, technology, and film production. It includes articles on the Production Code, music and sound, cinematography, and the often neglected topic of animation. Part 4 covers the period between 1946 and 1966. It deals with the demise of the studio system and the advent of independent production. In an era of demographic and social change, it looks at the growth of drive-in theatres, the impact of television, the advent of new technologies, the increasing importance of international markets, the Hollywood blacklist, the rise in art house imports and in overseas production, and the eventual demise of the Production Code. Designed especially for courses on Hollywood Cinema, the Reader includes a number of newly researched and written chapters and a series of introductions to each of its parts. It concludes with an epilogue, a list of resources for further research, and an extensive bibliography.

Download or read book Cities written by John Reader and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “vastly entertaining” history of urban centers—from the ancient world to today (Time). From the earliest example in the Ancient Near East to today’s teeming centers of compressed existence, such as Mumbai and Tokyo, cities are home to half the planet’s population and consume nearly three-quarters of its natural resources. They can be seen as natural cultural artifacts—evidence of our civic spirit and collective ingenuity. This book gives us the ecological and functional context of how cities evolved throughout human history—the connection between pottery making and childbirth in ancient Anatolia, plumbing and politics in ancient Rome, and revolution and street planning in nineteenth-century Paris. This illuminating study helps us to understand how urban centers thrive, decline, and rise again—and prepares us for the role cities will play in the future. “A superb historical account of the places in which most of us either live or will live.” —Conde Nast Traveller
