Summary

Burton Egbert Stevenson's 'The Young Train Dispatcher' emerges as a vivid foray into the early 20th-century railroading profession, instilled with the ethos of adventure and duty. Enriched with historically illustrative details, the narrative unfolds through a lively prose that both captivates and educates, harkening back to an era when rail was the pulsating artery of progress. DigiCat Publishing's meticulous reproduction of this work ensures that Stevenson's storytelling prowess—a blend of robust character development and meticulous plotting within its literary context—remains accessible to a contemporary audience, fostering an appreciation for the historical significance of railroad literature within the broader corpus of American classics.

The author, a prolific writer and librarian, was an embodiment of the intellectual curiosity of his time, and 'The Young Train Dispatcher' is reflective of this ethos. Stevenson's personal fascination with the rail system and the people who maintained its crucial operations is palpable in his detailed depictions of a dispatcher's life, undeniably drawn from the author's own observant nature and comprehensive research. The narrative paints a panorama of the trials and triumphs inherent in the orchestration of the steel web that interconnected cities, industries, and lives.

Recommended for readers who relish historical narratives imbued with authentic detail and those seeking to understand the fabric of early industrial America, 'The Young Train Dispatcher' stands as a testament to Stevenson's ability to enshroud factual pillars in engaging storytelling. DigiCat's dedication to animating Stevenson's work in modern formats allows a new generation to appreciate the nuanced interplay between mankind and machine. This book, therefore, is more than just a tale of youthful tenacity; it is a celebration of an era that laid tracks for the future.

It's not just what you say, but how you say it. Good communicators know this, but it's often easier said than done. Teachers, leaders, and speakers are often left bewildered, wondering why the content that was so carefully planned and delivered seems to fall flat with the audience. The art of communication requires more than the transfer of information; it both connects with and engages the hearer. To communicate well, speakers must understand both their audience and themselves. 
 
 
 
Speaking by the Numbers offers a strategy that combines communication principles with Enneagram wisdom to help leaders, pastors, and teachers understand how to convey content in ways that both inspire and connect with their audiences. Using the Enneagram wisdom of triads and stances, communicators can learn insight into the ways that various Enneagram numbers receive and process information. Sean Palmer draws from his extensive experience as a public speaker to develop communication strategies that lead to connection, transformation, and mobilization of audiences. Providing real examples of speeches he has given, Palmer shows how he uses the Enneagram to craft a message that connects with his audience. 
 
 
 
A healthy marriage of Enneagram wisdom and communication skill can help us speak with clarity into the heart of where people live, love, and experience life.

Are you curious to learn what set Russia on its present-day course? 
The Russian Revolution is a perfect example of how history can contract and become exceedingly dense and complex. Untangling the Russian Revolution (in fact, Russian revolutions) must start by considering events that happened centuries before February 1917. Only in this way can we understand the multitude of events compressed into the short months of the decisive year 1917. 
The Russian Revolution, apart from the Chinese Revolution, is perhaps the biggest social experiment the world has ever known. Suddenly, millions of people found themselves living in a country led by fervent Marxists who had grand plans not only for their country but also for all humanity. 
Finally, the Russian Revolution continues to shape global politics, with modern-day Russia built directly on the ruins of the great Communist revolution. 
In this audiobook, you will learn about:The early days of the Russian Empire, the legendary Ruriks, and how Russians accepted Christianity.The radicalization of social movements, personified in the typical anarchist, Sergey Nechaev.Bloody precursors of the Russian Revolution, such as the assassination of Emperor Alexander II by anarchists.The inert and anachronistic Nicholas II Romanov who unwittingly contributed to his empire’s downfall.Fervent, feverous, and audacious Vladimir Lenin who led the revolution toward its radical turn in October 1917.The chaos of the Russian Civil War and the birth of war communism and the Red Terror.The aftermath of the Revolution: Lenin’s sudden illness and the political struggles of his successors.The rise of Stalin, who would lead the USSR into its most glorious and horrifying moments.

A playbook for designing schools where no student is marginalized. 
 
 
 
Educators all over the country are waking to a collective realization: The hope and compassion they have for their students is not enough to counteract the inequitable policies and practices of the school system. Students and communities who have been historically disenfranchised along lines of race and disability continue to face predictable barriers to opportunity and independence. 
 
 
 
In Build Equity, Join Justice, the authors present a new path forward that leads away from deficit-focused policies and toward strengths-based practices. The authors' ten equity-advancing principles, based on the groundbreaking work of the SWIFT Education Center in multiple school districts, are designed to address the learning needs and social concerns of all students without requiring them or their advocates to "ask permission" to be included. Complete with practical tools and reflective activities throughout, this book empowers educators at every level to transform their schools into equity-advancing, justice-centered institutions.
