Hold My Hand: A Father and Son Book

Mirror Comics Studios
2018
nidottu
Since the beginning of time, the hand has taken us beyond ourselves. It has played a unique role in the rapport between humans. It greets. It recognizes, assists, comforts and reassures. It caresses, prays, blesses, gives, teaches and leads the way. A veritable extension of the heart itself, the hand is the privileged link in the art of emotional communication. Without fanfare, it is silent - a representative of the unsaid. The hand in the Bernard Poulin, Dominic Bercier story 'Hold My Hand' speaks of the rite of passage as experienced and shared by one generation and another. Interestingly, the proffered hand described in this story is reminiscent of the relationship between the author and the illustrator. Poulin and Bercier met several years ago at the Centre d'Excellence Artistique De La Salle. The former was a professional visual artist, the latter a student. From that time forward, the author has been mentor to the younger illustrator. In essence, 'Hold My Hand' is a wondrous intergenerational collaboration. And, for the benefit of us all, let us hope it is not the last such project between Poulin and Bercier. From the Afterword by Jean-Claude Bergeron Founder and First Coordinator Centre d'Excellence Artistique De La Salle, Ottawa, Canada.
A Linguistic Description and Computer Program for Children's Speech
Geoffrey J. Turner; Bernard A. Mohan

sidottu
This book presents a framework for the linguistic analysis of speech and a computer program to process the results of this analysis. The model of description for the linguistic analysis is that known as ‘scale-and-category’ grammar. It is particularly suited for a study of how people use their language, and especially for a sociologically-oriented study of linguistic behaviour. By incorporating a concept of ‘delicacy’, it enables the investigator to vary, according to his particular interests, the amount of detail he enters into at various points in the description. The present authors have made use of this facility and discuss the special interests, sociological and psychological, that influenced their choice of detail.The computer program analyzes the grammatical structures written in a linear notation. A second version has been written which allows easy modification to handle a variety of grammatical schemes, and the program has application to the processing of the analysis of sequential behaviour in general, especially where there are complex relations between the units analyzed.

A fascinating look at the storied World Series of 1906--a thrilling contest between the Chicago Cubs and their upstart crosstown rivals, the Chicago White Sox. The local press nicknamed the Sox the "Hitless Wonders"--a team that emerged as American League champs without a productive offense. But player/manager Patsy Dougherty led a team that knew when and where the hits were needed, and the hits were never needed more than in their first World Series appearance. The Sox took off with a stunning Game One victory, and never looked back. A Chicago that had rebuilt itself from the Great Fire that had left it in ashes only 35 years earlier was now the focal point of an entire baseball-loving nation. The city, the fans, and the players were on display, and for six thrilling nights in fall, baseball fans everywhere were on the edge of their seats, and the Second City was, most certainly, the First City of Baseball.
The La Follettes of Wisconsin—Robert, Belle, and their children, Bob Jr., Phil, Fola, and Mary—are vividly brought to life in this collective biography of an American political family. As governor of Wisconsin (1901–06) and U.S. Senator (1906–25), ""Fighting Bob"" battled relentlessly for his Progressive vision of democracy—an idealistic mixture of informed citizenry and enlightened egalitarianism. By contrast, the private man suffered from intense, isolated periods of depression and relied heavily on his family for survival. Together, ""Old Bob"" and his beloved wife, Belle Case La Follette—a lawyer, journalist, and Progressive leader in her own right—raised their children in the distinctly uncompromising La Follette tradition of challenging social and political ills. Fola became a campaigner for women's suffrage, Phil was governor of Wisconsin, and ""Young Bob"" became a U.S. senator.
America Afire is the powerful story of the election of 1800, arguably the most important election in America's history and certainly one of the most hotly disputed. Former allies Adams and Jefferson, president versus vice president, Federalist versus Republican, squared off in a vicious contest that resulted in broken friendships, scandals, riots, slander, and jailings in the fourth presidential election under the Constitution. The election of 1800 (not unlike that of 2000) was a tumultuous one, replete with an attempt to steal the victory from a controversial winner; deadlocked parties hell-bent on success; and a nation divided. Thomas Jefferson vs. John Adams--one of the most slanderous campaigns in the history of the nation. Added to that were backroom connivings and threatened riots serious enough to badly bend a young and shaky electoral system. The election ended in a tie--between the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates. After 7 straight days of voting in the Congress, Jefferson finally became president. America Afire is a timely tale that not only enlightens and entertains, but reassures us of the continuity and durability of our institutions.

Henry Knox and the Revolutionary War Trail in Western Massachusetts
Bernard A. Drew
McFarland Co Inc

pokkari
During the winter of 1776, in one of the most amazing logistical feats of the Revolutionary War, Henry Knox and his teamsters transported cannons from Fort Ticonderoga through the sparsely populated Berkshires to Boston to help drive British forces from the city. This history documents Knox's precise route--dubbed the Henry Knox Trail--and chronicles the evolution of an ordinary Indian path into a fur corridor, a settlement trail, and eventually a war road. By recounting the growth of this important but under appreciated thoroughfare, this study offers critical insight into a vital Revolutionary supply route.
Black Stereotypes in Popular Series Fiction, 1851-1955

Even well-meaning fiction writers of the late Jim Crow era (1900-1955) perpetuated racial stereotypes in their depiction of black characters. From 1918 to 1952, Octavus Roy Cohen turned out a remarkable 360 short stories featuring Florian Slappey and the schemers, romancers and ditzes of Birmingham's Darktown for The Saturday Evening Post and other publications. Cohen said, "I received a great deal of mail from Negroes and I have never found any resentment from a one of them." The black readership had to be satisfied with any black presence in the popular literature of the day. The best known white writers of black characters included Booth Tarkington (Herman and Verman in the Penrod books), Irvin S. Cobb (Judge Priest's houseman Jeff Poindexter), Roark Bradford (Widow Duck, the plantation matriarch), Hugh Wiley (Wildcat Marsden, the war veteran who traveled the country in the company of his goat) and Charles Correll and Freeman Gosden (radio's Amos 'n' Andy). These writers deservedly declined in the civil rights era, but left a curious legacy that deserves examination. This book, focusing on authors of series fiction and particularly of humorous stories, profiles 29 writers and their black characters in detail, with brief entries covering 72 others.
This book looks at more than 500 fictional works featuring the rugged Mounties, overlapping such genres as Westerns, romances and mysteries.

The illustrated text is intended as a reference and collectors' guide. For those researching Canadian popular fiction, entries are keyed to listings and critical discussion in more than thirty other reference works. Also included are miscellaneous Big Little Books, comic books, comic strips, TV and radio shows, operas, stage dramas, and musicals.
Clarence E. Mulford (1883-1956) was a Brooklyn City Hall clerk when he wrote the first of his popular Bar-20 Western tales in 1905. Beginning in 1935, Hollywood brought Hopalong Cassidy to the screen in sixty-six films. When actor William Boyd sold the Hoppies to television, he touched off the first merchandising bonanza of the video age. This biography of Mulford shows how he was betrayed by his literary creation at the same time that he made a modest fortune. This book, first published in 1991, combines a biography of the writer; a detailed examination of his Hopalong Cassidy and other prose works, and works based on his own characters by other writers such as Louis L'Amour; an overview of the motion picture series; a description of the radio and television shows; an overview of the graphic versions of Hoppy in comic books and newspaper comic strips; a listing of merchandising tie-ins; and a bibliography of published critical, biographical and historical works dealing with Mulford and Cassidy. Because Mulford kept unusually detailed records, this book gives a rare glimpse into the mechanics of writing and marketing popular fiction in the first half of the century as well as a profile of an industrious and fascinating writer and his characters.
