Summary

Hezekiah Butterworth's 'Zigzag Journeys in the White City. With Visits to the Neighboring Metropolis' is a captivating travelogue that takes readers on a literary tour of Chicago and its surrounding areas during the Columbian Exposition of 1893. Through vivid descriptions and engaging narratives, Butterworth paints a rich picture of the architectural marvels and cultural experiences of the time. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, the book provides insights into the historical significance of the White City and its impact on American society. Hezekiah Butterworth, a renowned author and educator, drew inspiration for this book from his passion for history and his desire to educate young readers about the world around them. His background in writing educational materials for children is evident in the way he presents complex historical events in a way that is easy to understand and engaging for readers of all ages. I highly recommend 'Zigzag Journeys in the White City' to anyone interested in American history, architecture, or the cultural impact of world fairs. Butterworth's detailed account of the Columbian Exposition offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in the country's past, making it a valuable read for both scholars and casual readers alike.

    Why do People Like Gaming? Well, many millions of professionals and worried parents have been asking themselves this very question for at least fifty years. 
When video gaming started in the Seventies, most people saw it as a bit of fun, but as the craze took hold, even in that decade, intellectuals and educationists began calling it `a stupid distraction`, and the gamers `dumb`. This continued until fairly recently, and millions of disparaging words were written about video games and gamers.  
However, the tide is now turning, and `experts` are pontificating on the positive aspects of gaming on gamers…even on very young ones. All the while this debate swirled around them, gamers just got on with what they liked doing the most - playing video games. 
Much has been written about why gaming took the youth of the Seventies by storm, and why now, people of all ages love to play. Some like the rôle-playing, others like the virtual risk-taking, and others like to hone skills that they would not ordinarily use. 
Some even dream of joining the thin ranks of the millionaire élite gamers. 
Whatever your reason, may you long derive pleasure from your hobby, and may The Force be with you! 
The information in this ebook on various types of games, video, computer, arcade and related subjects, is organised into 16 chapters of about 500-600 words each.
