This is a true story of a family struggling to survive during the depression of the 1030s. They farmed with two mules and crude farm implements. The land was rocky and the topsoil thin. The boys wore shirts and slept under sheets made from fertilizer sacks, and the mother and the only daughter often wore dresses and underwear made from flour sacks that came with print designs. But they were proud of their independence and didn''t want charity. The book gives details about how they farmed in those days and about the families of relatives and friends.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

The bi-directional relationships within the personal and contextual environments of adolescents are critical to the development of adolescents and their transition into adulthood. Opportunities for youth to participate in and provide leadership in meaningful programs, gain life skills, and interact with adults in sustained relationships are key features leading to positive youth development(PYD). Youth engagement in research and evaluation is described as an engaging pathway to PYD. The purpose of this study was to measure changes in levels of PYD through adolescent participation in youth participatory evaluation and youth community action training (YPE/YCAT). Seventy-four conveniently sampled senior 4-H members from eight Oregon County 4-H programs participated in a longitudinal study over the course of six months. Each county was represented by a treatment and comparison group. County teams in the treatment group were trained in youth participatory evaluation and youth community action (YPE/YCA). The county teams within the treatment group were expected to return to their respective counties and conduct youth participatory evaluation (YPE) projects using community issues forums. Significantly and consistently higher levels of the PYD indicators of competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution (six Cs) were predicted for the treatment group participating in YPE/YCAT relative to the comparison group not participating in YPE/YCAT. A multi-dimensional survey comprised of the Generalized Self- Efficacy Scale(competence), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (confidence), and Connection, Character, Caring and Contribution Scales was emailed monthly over the course of six months, via Survey Monkey, to the 74 subjects in the eight counties. Twenty-three subjects (31%) completed the survey at all six time points: 14 subjects in the treatment group and nine in the comparison group. Given the small sample size, age, gender, and ethnicity were not considered in the analysis. The nonparametric Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Tests were used to analyze the data. The dependent variables included competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution as indicators of PYD. The independent variable consisted of YPE/YCAT administered to the treatment group. The one-tailed Mann-Whitney U Test found no significant and consistent differences (p u003e .05) in mean scores between the treatment and comparison groups relative to the six Cs following the training of the treatment group in YPE/YCA. The one-tailed Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test found no significant and consistent differences (p u003e .05) in scores within the treatment group relative to the six Cs following the training of subjects in YPE/YCA. The treatment group''s participation in YPE/YCAT did not significantly and consistently affect the levels of competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution as indicators of PYD.

This catalogue accompanies a collaborative exhibition between the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation and the National Agricultural Library (Beltsville, Maryland). Inspiration and Translation: Botanical and Horticultural Lithographs of Joseph Prestele and Sons runs from 11 September to 22 December 2005 at the Institute and from 1 March through 31 May 2006 at the National Agricultural Library. Joseph Prestele (1796¿1867) was a flower painter and a master of lithography, the technique of engraving on stone. Skilled in painting and botany, he produced work of aesthetic and scientific value. His three sons, Joseph Jr. (1824¿1880s), Gottlieb (1827¿1892) and William Henry (1838¿1895), followed in his artistic, but not all in his religious, footsteps.
