【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Fish Stories【電子書籍】[ Frank Koffend ]

＜p＞In the 17 chapters contained in "Fish Stories," author Frank Koffend covers a lot of ground. Having spent almost the entirety of his eight - plus decades on this earth fishing (or learning how), there is a lot to be learned in the written material here. Koffend begins by telling the reader a little bit about himself ? he grew up in Central Wisconsin where, for little boys, fishing was as common as playing marbles at recess. Being the fifth of five kids, Frank was given almost complete freedom by his mother (some readers might be shocked to learn of his exploits on 39-mile Lake Winnebago in a tiny boat, no life jackets, as 9-and-10- year-olds. When Frank was 14, he and a friend rode bicycles to Canada. The next year he went with the same friend on a hitchhiking adventure ? approximately 6,500 miles from Wisconsin to Los Angeles, down to Mexico and up the Pacific Coast Highway to Portland, then back through Idaho, Montana and Yellowstone to his home in Wisconsin. The following year, when Frank was 16, he ran a Pitch-Til-You-Win game at a traveling carnival. Being the fifth kid, and nine years behind his identical twin sisters, Frank felt he was obviously a mistake but made the best of it by promising himself one of the finest, and most adventurous - lives possible. In Chapter one of his book, Frank takes fishing history way back to medieval times, when Dame Juliane Berner wrote the first and most complete book about fishing that had been circulated to the masses. In chapter two, though, we learn about the Chinese in the fourth century who used silk lines to fish while trolling. He also describes how hooks have evolved, from the indigenous people of the Americas using chert and bone, to European blacksmiths forging them from metal. The history of fishing line and hooks is a lot more interesting than it may sound. In chapter three, one of the most famous fishermen of our time, Sir Isaac Walton, mentions a new invention briefly in his 1655 work called "The Compleat Angler" something called a "wheel," which is actually one of the first reels. A century later, a man named Onesimus Ustonson advertised his "multiplying brass winches" for fishing in 1770. By the 1800s there were precision reels on the market, made by Germans, and the sport of fishing quickly became accessible to the common man. In the following chapters Koffend covers everything from artificial baits and lures to the companies who produced them and the men who created them. One particularly entertaining chapter features the Mepps squirrel-tail spinner lure and how the company's owner still pays the same for a squirrel tail as he did decades ago. Chapters nine and ten cover the baskets used over the years to put fish in, as well as the outboard motors that kept the fishing boats moving along on the water. Chapter eleven covers some "really big fish" and Frank's encounters with them, while chapter twelve is all about a topic that is dear to the author's heart ? the love that kids have always had for fishing. In the pages that follow, Frank spins tales of canoeing the dangerous Canadian boundary waters of the Quetico and beyond (all with a line in the water), as well as his more genteel times as a youth summering on Lake Winnebago. It was there that he learned the ins and outs of sailboat racing (all while usually keeping a line in the water). Koffend's last few chapters highlight his time on a property he co-owned with a friend on "The Pike" in Wisconsin, how the Henry and Cremora Rogers house in Appleton, Wisconsin (his current northern home) has a connection with sport fishing, and a few memories of some his finest pescatarian experiences. This book is one that anyone can enjoy, even if they've never picked up a pole.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This essential text for primary trainees and teachers examines the key skill of writing beyond the earliest school years. Teaching writing involves much more than simply teaching the mechanics of spelling, grammar and punctuation, important though these are. There are particular issues around writing in school, including the fact that children’s writing consistently lags behind their reading in external tests such as SATs, boys’ relative lack of success and teachers’ lack of confidence in modelling writing. This book addresses these topics as well as focusing on other pertinent practice issues such as working with proficient writers, engaging disengaged writers and working with children who have EAL and SEN.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Critical and necessary, this book provides a window into the education and lives of Black boys in early childhood settings. Drawing on Black Critical Theory and Black Male Studies, and applying portraiture methodology, Bryan explores experiences of Black boys and their male teachers in ways that affirm their humanity and acknowledge the consequences of existing in a white supremacist system. Bryan’s nuanced and comprehensive portraits honor the voices of Black boys and their male teachers, and counter the one-dimensional and essentialist perspectives that proliferate in our schools, which Bryan identifies as anti-Black misandry.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Introducing BlackBoyCrit Pedagogy, Bryan addresses the impact of socially constructed stereotypes and perceptions in the classroom and highlights the importance of educators who challenge such practices. In so doing, he provides a much-needed in-depth examination of pedagogies, literacies, and practices Black male teachers employ, as well as a perceptive view of the academic and social landscapes Black boys must navigate.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

"Though surrounded by officers and citizens," writes the young Frenchman, "his majestic face and form could not be mistaken, while his kind and noble manners were not less unmistakable." The veteran commander and the boyish lover of liberty and adventure were instantly drawn to each other. Washington invited Lafayette to join him at a review of the American armyー"eleven thousand men, only fairly armed, and worse clothed, their best clothing the gray hunting shirts of the Carolinas." "We can not but feel a little abashed," remarked Washington, "in the presence of an officer who comes to us from the army of France."＜br /＞ "It is to learn, not to teach, that I am here," was the modest reply. "This way of talking," adds Lafayette, "made a good impression, for it was not common among the Europeans."＜br /＞ On the 11th of September, 1777, Lafayette saw his first battle. The English had landed at the Capes of the Delaware, and marched on Philadelphia. Washington was deceived by bad scouts, and before he knew it the British had got past his army; and though the Americans fought bravely, they were obliged to give way. In trying to rally them, Lafayette was badly wounded by a musket-ball in the leg. For some time, in his zeal, he did not notice the wound, until an aide-de-camp saw the blood, which had filled his boot, and was running over the top. Hastily dismounting to have the wound bandaged, Lafayette instantly took to his saddle again; and it was only at midnight, a dozen miles from the battle-field, and when a stand had at last been made, that he consented to give up and be properly cared for. For six weeks he was kept in bed; and it was not until the latter part of November that he again entered active service, which he did before his wound was fully healed. On the 25th of that month, at the head of three hundred and fifty men, he was making a "reconnoissance," i. e., trying to find where the enemy were, and how many there were of them, when he suddenly came upon the British advance guard, strongly placed, with cannon. With a daring joined with prudence which was very rare in one so young, he attacked the enemy with such spirit that they thought he must have a large force with him, and retreated. Lafayette, who knew he might soon be surrounded with his little band, withdrew rapidly to a place of safety. "My experiment would have cost me dear," he writes, "if those who might have destroyed me had not counted too much on those who ought to have captured me."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Father Act In The Hour【電子書籍】[ Jerome Morris ]

＜p＞Father Act In The Hour deals with the very important element of “Fatherhood” and the comparison between Abba Father as our Heavenly Father and the earthly, biological father as it relates to the responsibilities towards our families. As Abba Father has a responsibility towards His children, so too does the biological father have a sole responsibility to impart wisdom, knowledge, insight and understanding with a clear vision and direction the family need to follow.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It looks at the fundamental importance of the impact that the father plays in the lives of his children and family holistically. A father is an indispensable link between his family and the path they take in life as a trend setter and atmosphere changer. The presence or absence of the father will determine the trajectory of the lives of his children.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The biggest plague or pandemic the world faces today is not HIV and AIDS, nor Cancer or Tuberculosis, but rather the absence of fathers in the lives of their children and families.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is a must have for every household whether there is a father present or not. Let the Fathers Arise.＜br /＞ About the Author＜/p＞ ＜p＞Jerome Morris is an enthusiast who loves and is passionate about his family. He is happily married with three boys and is serving in the office of an Evangelist at Jabula Destiny Ministries International, The Super Mega Church. Being exposed to a present yet absent father in his childhood, Jerome vowed that he would not follow in the same footsteps, hence his every day involvement in the lives of his children and the lives of other children growing up without a “father figure”. Jerome is very passionate about people empowerment and development and strives towards changing the mindset of people. Fatherhood is a topic that he holds dear to his heart and he has committed his life to changing the “norm” of absent fathering in the lives of many.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
