Synopsis

The Banjo and Mandolin Club, huddled together on the right of the platform in Assembly Hall, strummed diligently and with enthusiasm, their zeal atoning for shortcomings due to lack of practice. For this was the first night of the fall term, and many members had not touched their instruments since the final chord had been twanged on class day. (Brewster, playing second mandolin, was doing bravely with a silver dime, having lost his pick and not being able to borrow one!) Beyond the platform some two hundred and fifty clear-eyed, clean-skinned boys sang the words with vim. Many, unable to satisfactorily express their enthusiasm vocally, kept time with their feet. Across the platform from the musicians sat the Assistant Principal, Mr. Collins, the physical instructor, Mr. Bendix, the head coach, Mr. Payson, the president of the First Class, Lawrence Goodyear, and the football captain, Dan Vinton. The mass meeting had been called to formally open the football season at Yardley Hall School. The song ended in a final triumphant burst of sound and Goodyear arose. As he moved to the front of the platform the applause began, the stamping of feet and the long-drawn “A-a-ay!” repeated over and over until Goodyear’s upraised hand commanded quiet.

    Early Greek Philosophy & Other...

    "The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets—like Slave and Master morality, the Superman—can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling of difficult and abstruse subjects. "Truth and Falsity," and "The Greek Woman" are probably the two essays which will prove most attractive to the average reader."

    The Boy Who Made Dragonfly - A...

    As readers of Tony Hillerman's detective novels know, he is a skilled interpreter of southwestern Indian cultures. In this book, first published in 1972, he recounts a Zuni myth first recorded a century ago by the anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing. Hillerman's version of the story, written to be read by children ten years old and up, will have equal appeal for adults with an interest in Native American culture. 
     
    "In our society," Hillerman explains, "this would be called a 'Bible story.' Like stories based on the Old Testament, this narrative is intended to teach both the history and morality of a people." It tells the consequences of a drought in which Zuni crops were ruined and the tribe was forced to accept charity from neighboring Hopis.

    Have you recently lost your beloved pet, or do you feel that painful moment approaching? 
    When you lose a pet, you don’t just lose an animal — you lose a part of yourself. 
    Years of unconditional love, shared moments, and comforting daily routines suddenly vanish into a deafening silence that no one ever really prepares you for. 
    They tell you things like “it was just a pet” or “time heals all wounds”, but those who haven’t loved so deeply could never understand the pain. 
    Meanwhile, life goes on around you as if nothing happened. And you’re left trying to figure out how to move forward when everything around you — every corner, every habit — reminds you of them. 
    We’ll meet again at the Rainbow is a heartfelt and compassionate guide created to walk alongside you through this journey, and to help you gently turn the pain into a memory full of love. 
    What you’ll find in We’ll meet again at the Rainbow:Why your pain feels so intense—andwhy that’s completely normalHow to overcome guilt and stop asking yourself “What if…?”The stages of grief: what to expect and how to move through them mindfullyPractical techniques used by psychologists and therapists to help restore emotional balanceHow to keep your bond with your dog alive—even after their physical absenceWhy welcoming another dog does NOT mean betraying the one you lostA set of SELF-HELP TOOLS to ease the pain and help you breathe againBegin to rediscover serenity—one page at a time.
