Synopsis

In "Boy Scouts on the Open Plains; Or, The Round-Up Not Ordered," G. Harvey Ralphson combines adventure with the values of early 20th-century Americana, presenting a vivid tapestry of camaraderie, self-reliance, and the great outdoors. The narrative follows a group of Boy Scouts as they embark on a thrilling journey across the expansive plains, navigating challenges that test their resourcefulness and teamwork. Ralphson'Äôs literary style, characterized by vivid descriptive passages and an engaging, action-driven plot, captures the spirit of the scouting movement during a time when it was a burgeoning cultural phenomenon aimed at youth development and outdoor education. G. Harvey Ralphson, a passionate advocate for youth and outdoor activities, was deeply influenced by the Boy Scouts' principles of leadership and moral character. His own experiences as an outdoor enthusiast and educator inspired his desire to instill these values in young readers through compelling stories that emphasize growth through adventure. The early 20th century was a pivotal time for the scouting movement, and Ralphson's work reflects a keen understanding of its cultural significance, aiming to inspire a generation through fiction. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of youth literature and early American culture. Offering insights into perseverance, friendship, and the joys of exploration, Ralphson'Äôs tale not only entertains but also imparts enduring lessons that resonate with readers of all ages. Its rich narrative and moral undertones make it a charming addition to the canon of children's adventure literature.

    Drawing on extensive historical and anthropological research, personal accounts, and interviews with people who work in the funeral industry, Penny Colman examines the compelling subjects of death and burial across cultures and societies. The text, enriched with stories both humorous and poignant, includes details about the decomposition and embalming processes (an adult corpse buried six feet deep without a coffin will usually take five to ten years to turn into a skeleton) and describes the various customs associated with containing remains (the Igala people in Nigeria have a custom of burying people in as many as twenty-seven layers of clothing). Intriguing facts are revealed at every turn; for example, in Madagascar winter was considered the corpse-turning season.This comprehensive book also includes a list of burial sites of famous people, images in the arts associated with death, fascinating epitaphs and gravestone carvings, a chronology and a glossary, and over a hundred black-and-white photographs, most of which were taken by the author.Penny Colman writes with compassion and intelligence and humanizes the difficult subjects of death and burial. The result is a powerful look at an inevitable part of life--death.

    Kit may be the youngest wizard ever, but she sure doesn’t feel like the best wizard. Her magic just keeps going wrong, and other weird stuff is happening too: talking animals, exploding fireballs, and a very strange new arrival in the local park. Even Dogon (the half dog, half dragon) is droopy! So Kit and her two best friends—animal-whispering Alita and studious Josh—set off with Faith the librarian to investigate this wild magic that’s causing so much commotion. Their journey takes them to a Scottish loch, where they meet an eco-conscious wizard and some very grumpy mermaids (careful, they pinch!). But the danger is greater than they imagined, and it will take everybody’s help to set things right again.
