Usborne First Reading
No full textThis is my first find in a series of -- apparently -- sixteen First Reading books by Usborne including three fables. All sixteen are pictured on the endpapers. I have ordered TMCM and GGE from the same series. This is a sturdy book, about 8 x 5, containing 48 pages. This telling highlights Harry Hare's ugly boasting. He is a delivery man by trade. He trains hard for the race; in fact, his over-training seems to lead to his tiredness along the way. He actually decides to have a nap in this version. The book seems to me typical of Usborne in the charming way Howarth fills out each picture with small animals going about their various tasks. Good examples include the hedgehog accountant on 10 and 11, the weasel (?) announcer perched in a tree branch on 27, and the skateboarding mouse on 35. Pages 44-46 give a short introduction to fables.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Retold by Mairi Mackinno
Usborne First Reading
No full textThis book is a fellow member with The Hare and the Tortoise Based on a Story by Aesop from 2007 in Usborne's First Reading series. Like it, it is a sturdy book, about 8 x 5, containing 48 pages. This telling dramatizes Tom's emotions when he finds what he thinks is a stone left in place of a stolen egg. When the goldsmith in town pays him a great deal of money for it, he buys Elena a dress, but she says that they need to fix the roof. The next day's egg takes care of that. Soon they have a new house and servants working their garden, and they are rich. But they want more. Elena has the key thought: The little white goose must be full of gold. Is it believable that killing the goose returns them to their former poverty? The last few pages offer a description of fables that sets up for this story's moral: Don't be greedy or you might lose everything. The book has a ribbon to help keep one's place in the story.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Retold by Mairi Mackinno
WTT 2
No full textThis version of BW is well told and illustrated. The boy's second trick, weeks after the first, makes the villagers cross. The next day he has to issue his third cry, to which no one responds. And the boy went home without his sheep. The story is followed by two simple puzzles. Tadpoles are structured to provide support for newly independent readers, as the final page puts it. One such support is large print.Apparent first printingRetold by Elizabeth Adam
Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients

(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 24Region: Upper NileThis picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente
Daniel Emmett postcard
No full textPostcard of Daniel Emmett and his home in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Emmett is considered to be the author of the antebellum song "Dixie," written in 1859, which became the unofficial song of the Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. He was born in Mount Vernon in 1815 and taught himself the fiddle, and later became associated with minstrel shows and helped to define that genre. Minstrel shows traveled around the United States, presenting skits and musical performances. Emmett also composed many other songs, including "Old Dan Tucker," "Turkey in the Straw," and "The Blue Tail Fly." He died in 1904
