Sinossi

In "Carpentry for Boys," James Slough Zerbe presents a comprehensive guide that marries practical skills with educational values, emphasizing the importance of craftsmanship in character building. Written in an engaging, instructional style, the book serves as an introduction to carpentry tailored specifically for younger audiences, replete with diagrams and step-by-step projects. Within the context of early 20th-century America, when hands-on skills were highly prized, Zerbe's work stands out as both a nostalgic homage and a pragmatic resource, blending the exploration of materials with foundational lessons in responsibility and teamwork. James Slough Zerbe, an educator by trade, was passionate about instilling practical skills in youth, influenced by the growing industrialization of his time. His own experiences in woodworking and his belief in manual labor's formative role in education shaped his pedagogical approach. With a robust background in teaching and a vision of fostering self-reliance among boys, Zerbe authored this book to enrich the lives of his readers with both knowledge and skill, reflecting his commitment to practical education. "Carpentry for Boys" is an essential read for parents, educators, and young aspiring carpenters alike. It not only provides invaluable skills in woodworking but also advocates for the personal development that comes from engaging in hands-on projects. This book encourages creativity, discipline, and a sense of accomplishment, making it a timeless resource that resonates with the spirit of learning and exploration.

Whether someone has started a rescue ranch on purpose or circumstances align to match up the right horse with the right person, stories of second chances warm our hearts and restore our hope. 
     
     
     
    This emotional and inspiring collection of true stories introduces you to a pony who helps a little girl get over her fear of riding, a donkey who discovers his purpose protecting vulnerable lambs, blind horses who teach their human about courage, and even a pony who somehow figures out how to drive a golf cart. By turns humorous and heartwarming, these delightful tales are the perfect companion for those times you long to slow down, take a load off, and enjoy the ride.

    Meet Dave. Dave is Prime Minister. Dave really wants to do the right thing. He keeps telling us he wants to do the right thing. Again and again and again. One afternoon he told us four times in half an hour.
    
    
    
    Then he went off and did the right thing. Every morning when he wakes up, he reminds himself to remind us that he's doing the right thing.
    
    
    
    But what is the right thing? And what is the wrong thing? And is doing the right thing the right thing or the wrong thing to do? Or is doing the wrong thing the right thing to do when doing the right thing might turn out to be the wrong thing, and doing the wrong thing might turn out to be the right thing?
    
    
    Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER
    
    
    You can always count on Americans to do the right thing – after they've tried everything else WINSTON CHURCHILL
