How often do you stop to think about how your street got its name, or why it starts and ends where it does? The former City of Collingwood (incorporating Abbotsford, Clifton Hill and Collingwood) has its history written in its streets and the more one discovers about its past, the more meaningful the names and layout of the streets become.

n 1993, The New Yorker published Calvin Trillin’s memorable article on the eccentric Flavel family of Astoria, the descendants of Captain George Flavel, whose ornate Queen-Anne-style mansion is a tourist draw today. With Trillin’s gracious consent, “First Family of Astoria” is reprinted in Part One of Astorians, Eccentric and Extraordinary, making its first appearance in book form.Part Two carries on the theme with portraits of fifty-five other notable Astorians. Five Oregon writers have captured the essence and the flavor of vivid personalities that include the notorious shanghaier Bridget Grant; the charming scoundrel Mayor Francis Clay Harley; the elusive English “barmaid” Jane Barnes, the first white woman in the Pacific Northwest; and Rolf Klep, who believed he could create a major maritime museum in an economically depressed town—and made it happen.In biology, it is said that the richest life forms reside at the edge of the ecosystem. Astoria epitomizes edges—the edge of the country, the edge of a great river, the edge of the Pacific Ocean, and the edge of our American culture. This book celebrates the larger-than-life quality that has appeared with regularity in the town’s two-hundred-year history. As Steve Forrester, publisher of The Daily Astorian, notes in the book’s introduction: “Extraordinary people are not necessarily eccentric. But eccentrics are driven to do extraordinary things.”
How can a graphic novel teach you to solve physics problems? By making the process more fun and more engaging for readers, this practical guide really works to help students tackle real problems in algebra-based college physics. Along the way, readers will also be equipped with useful problem-solving techniques and physical concepts.This problem-solving guide, developed by physicist/author Dr. Scott Calvin and engineer/artist Dr. Kirin Furst, is aimed at students in college-level general physics courses. Instead of just providing brief answers to sample questions or discussions of physics concepts without showing how to apply them to difficult problems, Cartoon Physics stresses how to approach problems, what to do if you get stuck, and techniques that can be applied broadly.Features:Detailed, step-by-step solutions for more than one hundred college-level exam problemsGraphic novel (cartoon) formatFormula sheet, units sheet, and technique-choice flowchart Task Tags indexing problems by technique (momentum, energy) no matter what chapter they appear inA t-rex on a trampoline!

Barn har ulik utrustning fra naturens side; ulike erfaringer, ønsker, mål og ambisjoner for sin hverdag og for fremtiden. Det å kunne forvalte sitt eget liv dreier seg om å kunne bruke sine ressurser, kapasitet og muligheter til å øve innflytelse på sin egen situasjon. Barn i utvikling og vekst trenger stabile, trygge og tilgjengelige voksne som kan verne, bekrefte, støtte og inspirere. Forskningen viser at foreldrene har en helt avgjørende betydning for barns skolegang. Barn som er plassert av barnevernet, har vist seg å komme spesielt dårlig ut i skolen. De er derfor avhengige av at profesjonelle voksne overtar foreldrenes ansvar for opplæringsomsorgen. Dette er utgangspunktet for denne boka.(pdf, 173,62 kB)

Karin Bergoo Larsson and the Emergence of Swedish Design

Identified as "the first designer of what would become known as Swedish Modern" by the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., Karin Bergoo Larsson (1859-1928) was a mother of eight and wife to Sweden's beloved painter, Carl Larsson. Herself a well-regarded artist, she gave up painting when she married, at the request of her husband. Taking up needles and cloth, she then turned a somewhat ugly cottage--Lilla Hyttnas in the tiny village of Sundborn, Sweden--into a designer showcase. Inspired by the Swedish countryside, she filled the home with handcrafted wall hangings, bed coverings, tablecloths, pillow covers and even furniture of her own design, while greatly influencing her husband's work by encouraging him to move away from dark oils to more illuminating and light-filled watercolors. His paintings of their home made her interior designs famous, and her influence continues to inform the concepts of retail giant IKEA.
