Summary

In "The Boy Scouts on Belgian Battlefields," John Henry Goldfrap artfully intertwines adventure and patriotism in a compelling narrative set against the backdrop of World War I. The novel follows a group of Boy Scouts as they navigate the perils of war-torn Belgium, showcasing their bravery, resourcefulness, and unwavering spirit. Goldfrap's literary style masterfully combines vivid descriptions with a straightforward, engaging prose that captures the innocence of youth while confronting the harsh realities of conflict. The book stands as a testament to the ideals of camaraderie and heroism prevalent in early 20th-century literature, mirroring the zeitgeist of a nation grappling with the realities of global warfare. John Henry Goldfrap, an author whose early life was marked by a passion for adventure and service, was motivated to write this book during a time of national strife. With a background that likely involved outdoor pursuits and a strong sense of duty, Goldfrap sought to portray the Boy Scouts not merely as children but as capable agents of courage and resilience, embodying the spirit of a generation facing unprecedented challenges. I highly recommend "The Boy Scouts on Belgian Battlefields" to readers of all ages, especially those interested in historical fiction that melds adventure with moral themes. Goldfrap'Äôs work not only entertains but also educates, providing a lens into the significant role of youth during wartime and encouraging a sense of duty and bravery in the face of adversity.

    Starrs presents a contemporary understanding of adolescence, identifying three principal character styles and offering experience near descriptions of the modern day adolescent. The author demonstrates how each configuration style in adolescence elicits a predictable response in parents and examines the challenges and dilemmas facing parents in today's world, highlighting the patterns and pitfalls which often render parental interventions ineffective. Developmentally attuned parenting strategies are outlined, pertaining to each configuration style. The in depth analysis of adolescent process and parental response has implications for the therapeutic encounter. Intervention focuses both on one- to-one work with the adolescent and parental involvement. The complexity of working with adolescents and parents who demonstrate psychological entrenchment is also outlined.

    ●	the political context behind the events that unfolded

    This book offers an account of Carnatic music culture drawing on the knowledge of T. Sankaran, a musician raised in an illustrious non-Brahmin devadasi family, and his long affiliation with cultural institutions including All India Radio (AIR) and the Tamil Isai Sangam (Tamil Music Academy). Sankaran examines the cultural and social matrix in which Carnatic music was cultivated and consumed in mid-twentieth century India, including the ways that musicians negotiated caste politics and the double standard for male and female musicians. The memoir provides insight into the way AIR worked as a modern, bureaucratic institution, and how the opening of government music colleges interacted with caste politics and shifted women's participation in public performance. The book is polyvocal, as Sankaran's writing is interwoven with passages from Daniel M. Neuman's book The Life of Music in North India, which inspired Sankaran's project, as well as transcripts from interviews with Sankaran by Matthew Allen. Includes rare archival photos.

    ***NEW ZEALAND’S LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE*** 
    Two New Zealand Classics—now available with an introduction by Amberley Ember. 
    The year is 1865. 34-year-old Annie, freshly married, sets sail for New Zealand where she will serve as a helpmeet for her second husband, Fred. They live in Christchurch until they can build their house in the sheep-farming Canterbury High Country. Soon, Lady Annie Barker is tending to dogs and chickens, learning how to boil potatoes and galloping side-saddle on her horse through the fresh, miasma-free air. Just when the newlyweds begin to feel settled, they are caught in a great snowstorm, and swindled in a land deal. 
    This is two books in one: Station Life in New Zealand (1870) and Station Amusements (1873).
