"Would-bc astronauts have to be educated people and good sportsmen; healthy, strong, and tough. Of course, you read books on space, and this book is also concerned with space. But this is not just a good reading, nor is it just a textbook. It is meant to be read as a make-it book and think-it book. You will make simple models and devices to perform fascinating “space” experiments. Who knows, maybe these simple projects will eventually lead you to the ramp of a spaceship. Good luck, dear friends, and a happy journey!"
This cookbook covers the years 1840 through 1945, a time during which American cookery underwent a full-scale revolution. Gas and electric stoves replaced hearth cookery. Milk products came from commercial dairy farms rather than the family cow. Daily meals were no longer bound by seasons and regions, as canned, bottled, and eventually frozen products flooded the market and trains began to transport produce and meat from one end of the country to the other.
There is a great deal of evidence linking disturbances in neurotransmission to various diseases. For example, Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive mental deterioration in which there is memory loss along with the loss of control of bodily functions that eventually results in death, is thought to involve impaired function of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in some neurons.
The authors of this volume open the door to the possibility of a broader space in which many of the constructs we entertain separately—adult insight, intelligence, cognition, reflective thinking, interpersonal competence, self-efficacy, and others—are eventually known as a web in which development sponsors learning and learning fuels development.
Framing the West: Race, Gender, and the Photographic Frontier in the Pacific Northwest
Framing the West argues that photography was intrinsic to British territorial expansion and settlement on the northwest coast. Williams shows how male and female settlers used photography to establish control over the territory and its indigenous inhabitants, as well as how native peoples eventually turned the technology to their own purposes.
