The Best Places You've Never Seen: Pennsylvania's Small Museums, A Traveler's Guide - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: You know the Carnegie Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but have you ever visited the Toy Robot Museum in Adamstown or Bill's Old Bike Barn in Bloomsburg? The Tom Mix Museum in Mix Run? The Houdini Museum in Scranton? Pennsylvania's many small museums are easy to miss in an age of instant information and superhighways. After reading Therese Boyd's guide, however, you'll rush to get off the beaten track to find them. Pennsylvania's little wonders are as entertaining as they are educational. Unlike large museums, which display masterpieces of art and other 'important' items, small museums feature objects that would otherwise be thrown away and forgotten everything from spittoons to high button shoes and trolley cars. Some small museums, such as the Richard Allen Museum, serve a serious purpose; others are playful, even eccentric. All offer a fresh perspective on how people have lived and worked. Of the hundreds of small museums throughout Pennsylvania, Boyd concentrates on forty-two she considers well worth a detour. These range from Kready's Museum, where visitors can savor the simple pleasures of a country store, to the Vocal Groups Hall of Fame and Museum, where music fans can listen to 'golden oldies' and pore over memorabilia (including sequined dresses once worn by the Supremes). Boyd's book is a comprehensive, illustrated guide to the best small museums in Pennsylvania. It weaves amusing anecdotes about Boyd's own visits to the museums along with descriptions of their histories and collections. Her guide provides travel directions as well as complete information about each museum's visiting hours, Website, and contact information.
As You Like It (Webster's Thai Thesaurus Edition) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Webster’s paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings inEnglish courses. By using a running English-to-Thai thesaurus at the bottom of each page, thisedition of As You Like It by William Shakespeare was edited for three audiences. The first includesThai-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a ForeignLanguage (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® orTOEIC® preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled inbilingual education programs or Thai speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The thirdaudience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Thai in order to takeforeign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®) 1 or similar examinations. Byusing the Webster's Thai Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader canenrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Thai or English.Webster’s edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number ofdifficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions aregiven lower priority compared to “difficult, yet commonly used” words. Rather than supply a singletranslation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Thai, allowing readers to bettergrasp the ambiguity of English, and avoid them using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Havingthe reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention andunderstanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficultword is not translated on a page, chances are that it has been translated on a previous page. A morecomplete glossary of translations is supplied at the end of the book; translations are extracted fromWebster’s Online Dictionary.

Teen Driving (Issues That Concern You) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In the case of Robertson v. the Department of Public Works, JusticeTolman of the Washington State Supreme Court stated that:Complete freedom of the highways is so old and well establisheda blessing that we have forgotten the days of the Robber Baronsand toll roads, and yet, under an act like this [regarding a lackof jurisdiction in a case on driving without a license], arbitrarilyadministered, the highways may be completely monopolized;if, through lack of interest, the people submit, then they maylook to see the most sacred of their liberties taken from themone by one, by more or less rapid encroachment.The question remains, though: Is driving a right or a privi-lege? Nina A. of Byron Center, Michigan, published an articleon teenink.com describing the day she decided it was indeed aprivilege. While driving her little blue Geo Tracker early onemorning, struggling to stay awake, she ran a red light and causedan accident. She wrote, “Nothing is more important than hav-ing enough sleep to drive safely and keep myself and others safe(and possibly even alive). These are all reminders of just how biga privilege driving really is.”If driving were considered a right, instead of a privilege, shouldanyone be able to just hop into a vehicle—car, truck, tractortrailer—and hit the interstate? What of learning the traffic lawsfirst and passing a driver’s license test? Should people have tostudy driving laws in advance, or will they automatically figureout how it all works when they jump behind the wheel of a 4,000-pound car or an 80,000-pound 18-wheeler? What happens if theydo not figure it out quickly enough? Somebody dies.

Love You More - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Who do you love?It‟s a question anyone should be able to answer. A question that defines a life, creates afuture, guides most minutes of one‟s days. Simple, elegant, encompassing.Who do you love?He asked the question, and I felt the answer in the weight of my duty belt, the constrictiveconfines of my armored vest, the tight brim of my trooper‟s hat, pulled low over my brow. Ireached down slowly, my fingers just brushing the top of my Sig Sauer, holstered at my hip.“Who do you love?” he cried again, louder now, more insistent.My fingers bypassed my state-issued weapon, finding the black leather keeper that heldmy duty belt to my waist. The Velcro rasped loudly as I unfastened the first band, then thesecond, third, fourth. I worked the metal buckle, then my twenty pound duty belt, complete withmy sidearm, Taser, and collapsible steel baton released from my waist and dangled in the spacebetween us.“Don‟t do this,” I whispered, one last shot at reason.He merely smiled. “Too little, too late.”“Where‟s Sophie? What did you do?”“Belt. On the table. Now.”“No.”“GUN. On the table. NOW!”In response, I widened my stance, squaring off in the middle of the kitchen, duty belt stillsuspended from my left hand. Four years of my life, patrolling the highways of Massachusetts,swearing to defend and protect. I had training and experience on my side.I could go for my gun. Commit to the act, grab the Sig Sauer, and start shooting.Sig Sauer was holstered at an awkward angle that would cost me precious seconds. Hewas watching, waiting for any sudden movement. Failure would be firmly and terribly punished.Who do you love?He was right. That‟s what it came down to in the end. Who did you love and how muchwould you risk for them?“GUN!” he boomed. “Now, dammit!”I thought of my six-year-old daughter, the scent of her hair, the feel of her skinny armswrapped tight around my neck, the sound of her voice as I tucked her in bed each night. “Loveyou, Mommy,” she always whispered.Love you, too, baby. Love you.His arm moved, first tentative stretch for the suspended duty belt, my holstered weapon.One last chance …I looked my husband in the eye. A single heartbeat of time.Who do you love?I made my decision. I set down my trooper‟s belt on the kitchen table.And he grabbed my Sig Sauer and opened fire.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
