Summary

In his book 'Carpentry for Boys', James Slough Zerbe meticulously guides young readers through the fundamentals of woodworking, providing detailed instructions on various projects from simple to more complex. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book not only serves as a practical guide but also as a reflection of the early 20th century American interest in manual skills and craftsmanship. Zerbe's emphasis on precision and craftsmanship resonates with the broader societal emphasis on practical education during his time. James Slough Zerbe, a prolific author and educator, drew from his own experience in woodworking and education to create 'Carpentry for Boys'. With a background in engineering and a passion for hands-on learning, Zerbe sought to empower young readers with practical skills they could apply in their daily lives. His dedication to promoting manual dexterity and problem-solving shines through in the detailed instructions and illustrations provided in the book. I highly recommend 'Carpentry for Boys' to young readers interested in acquiring practical skills and to anyone interested in the history of manual education. Zerbe's timeless lessons on precision, craftsmanship, and problem-solving continue to resonate with readers today.

    A Stranger’s Pose is an evocative and mesmerising account of travels across different African cities. With lyrical and absorbing prose, Emmanuel invites the reader to share in his travels, and the encounters he made along the way. Alongside these depictions of new places and people is a compelling, and very personal, meditation on the meaning of home, and the importance of intimacy to a lone traveller. Through these vignettes—an arrest in a market in N’djamena, meeting the famed photographer Malick Sidibe in Bamako, speaking with a migrant in Tangier who says “the sea is the only way,”—Emmanuel showcases the generosity of strangers, the power of language and translation, and much more.

    Do you remember the best summer of your life? 
New York City, 1945. Marjorie Jacobson and her best friend, Marty Garrett, arrive fresh from the Kappa house at the University of Iowa hoping to find summer positions as shopgirls. Turned away from the top department stores, they miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co., becoming the first women to ever work on the sales floor—a diamond-filled day job replete with Tiffany blue shirtwaist dresses from Bonwit Teller's—and the envy of all their friends. 
Hart takes us back to the magical time when she and Marty rubbed elbows with the rich and famous; pinched pennies to eat at the Automat; experienced nightlife at La Martinique; and danced away their weekends with dashing midshipmen. Between being dazzled by Judy Garland's honeymoon visit to Tiffany, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with Café society, she fell in love, learned unforgettable lessons, made important decisions that would change her future, and created the remarkable memories she now shares with all of us.

    This chronicle of one of England’s most popular railway museums tells the remarkable story of four friends who turned their boyhood dream into reality.   Located in the Didcot Railway Centre in Oxfordshire, England, the Great Western Society is dedicated to preserving the steam locomotives and other artifacts of Great Western Railway. Starting in the 1830s and operating well into the 20h century, G.W.R. brough a sense of romance to train travel as it connected London to Western England and Wales. But while this British railway company is truly legendary, The Great Western Society has a fascinating history of its own.   Formed in 1960, The Great Western Society was founded by a group of schoolboys who wanted to save a Great Western Tank locomotive and an auto trailer. A letter they sent to The Railway Magazine proposing their idea led to one of Britain’s most successful heritage railway projects. Today that original project has blossomed into the best collection of Great Western rolling stock and locomotives in the world.
