Synopsis

The author and illustrator Ernest Thompson Seton was a prominent naturalist and founder of the Boy Scouts of America. An Englishman of Scottish ancestry, Seton was raised in North America, his family having emigrated to Canada in 1866. He gained experience as a naturalist by trailing and hunting in the prairie country of Manitoba. He used this knowledge as the basis for his pioneering series of animal fiction books. His most enduring work is ‘Wild Animals I Have Known’ (1898), featuring the beloved tale of the wolf Lobo. Deeply concerned for the future of the prairie, Seton fought to establish reservations for Indians and parks for animals threatened by extinction, as well as providing children with the opportunities for nature study. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Seton’s complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

    A poignant meditation on mortality from a beloved Canadian poet
    		 
    A writer friend once pointed out that whenever Stuart Ross got close to something heavy and “real” in a poem, a hamburger would inevitably appear for comic relief. In this hybrid essay/memoir/poetic meditation, Ross shoves aside the heaping plate of burgers to wrestle with what it means to grieve the people one loves and what it means to go on living in the face of an enormous accumulation of loss. Written during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, shortly after the sudden death of his brother left him the last living member of his family and as a catastrophic diagnosis meant anticipating the death of his closest friend, this meditation on mortality — a kind of literary shiva — is Ross’s most personal book to date. More than a catalogue of losses, The Book of Grief and Hamburgers is a moving act of resistance against self-annihilation and a desperate attempt to embrace all that was good in his relationships with those most dear to him.

    The founding of Rome is one of the most famous legends in history, blending myth and reality to shape the origins of one of the greatest civilizations of the ancient world. According to Roman tradition, the city was established in 753 BCE by Romulus, the first king of Rome, after he and his twin brother, Remus, were rescued and raised by a she-wolf. This tale, passed down through generations, symbolized Rome’s strength, resilience, and divine favor. While the legend is deeply ingrained in Roman identity, historians believe the city’s origins were more complex, involving the gradual unification of Latin and Etruscan tribes. 
    The early formation of Rome was influenced by its strategic location along the Tiber River. The site provided access to trade routes, fresh water, and natural defenses, making it an ideal settlement for early inhabitants. Archaeological evidence suggests that small villages existed in the area long before Rome’s legendary founding, with early settlers engaging in agriculture, trade, and warfare. These early communities gradually coalesced, forming a unified society under a monarchical system. The first rulers of Rome were part of the Roman Kingdom, a period that saw the development of political institutions, religious practices, and military organization that would shape the city’s future. 
    Roman society during its early years was structured around family and clan-based systems, with the patricians, or aristocratic families, holding the majority of political power. The king was the central authority, responsible for religious duties, military leadership, and lawmaking. However, his rule was supported by a council of elders known as the Senate, which played an advisory role. Over time, tensions arose between the patricians and the common people, or plebeians, who sought greater political representation. These early power struggles foreshadowed the later conflicts that would lead to the transition from monarchy to a republic.

    In The Great Upheaval, Arthur Levine and Scott Van Pelt examine higher and postsecondary education to see how it has changed to become what it is today—and how it might be refitted for an uncertain future. 
     
     
     
    Taking a unique historical, cross-industry perspective, Levine and Van Pelt perform a 360-degree survey of American higher education. Combining historical, trend, and comparative analysis of other business sectors, they ask 
     
     
     
    ● how much will colleges and universities change, what will change, and how will these changes occur? 
     
     
     
    ● will institutions of higher learning be able to adapt to the challenges they face, or will they be disrupted by them? 
     
     
     
    ● will the industrial model of higher education be repaired or replaced? 
     
     
     
    ● why is higher education more important than ever? 
     
     
     
    The book is neither an attempt to advocate for a particular future direction nor a warning about that future. Rather, it looks objectively at the contexts in which higher education has operated—and will continue to operate. It also seeks to identify likely developments that will aid those involved in steering higher education forward, as well as the many millions of Americans who have a stake in its future.
