The stories we tell about ourselves and our communities. This is a book about stories created in imaginary play and the way they impact upon our lives. From childhood we learn about ourselves from the stories other people tell us and the stories we tell about ourselves. From these stories we begin to form our identity and a sense of self. Some of these stories make us proud and strong in the sense of who we are, but this is not always so.

More and more of us, in life and work then, can expect to find ourselves in front of an audience hoping to move hearts and minds. If you want to shape a collective vision, craft a compelling case or simply explain your plans with clarity and purpose, this book will help you write and deliver a memorable speech. There are many different skills involved in speaking well, but ultimately you need to know how to choose and organize words - you need to be able to write.
Let's Subtract - Mary Hurt and the Sing and Learn Chorus
To the boys and girls who will use this record:
Arithmetic is one of the most important subjects you will ever study. Wherever you may live, whatever you may do, you can be sure that arithmetic has something to do with it. When we learn our addition, subtraction, multiplication and division tables, we are preparing ourselves for not only our studies in higher grades, but for a busy, grown-up life. I have been teaching boys and girls like yourself by the very same method on this record, and this is the way we do it: First we go over our tables completely. Then we listen carefully to them once more, and finally test ourselves. In this manner, we have been able to learn our tables very quickly. I hope you will enjoy studying your tables in this new way. Practice faithfully every day, and you will see how soon it will be before you know them all.
Learning is fun!
