Beschreibung

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: "What Katy Did," a universal children's classic


Originally published in 1872, “What Katy Did” is an 1872 children's book written by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey under her pen name Susan Coolidge. It is a delightful children’s classic that manages to be charming yet poignant in an unexpected way.

“What Katy Did” follows the adventures of a twelve-year-old American girl, Katy Carr, and her family who live in the fictional lakeside Ohio town of Burnet in the 1860s. Katy is a tall untidy tomboy, forever getting into scrapes but wishing to be beautiful and beloved. When a terrible accident makes her an invalid, her illness and four-year recovery gradually teach her to be as good and kind as she has always wanted.

"What Katy Did" was followed by four sequels that continued one of the most important series in children's literature: "What Katy Did at School," "What Katy Did Next," "Clover" and "In the High Valley."

    Was John the Baptist among the greatest people who ever lived? And if so, what does that mean for every disciple of Jesus today? 
    John the Baptist was Jesus’ relative, lifelong friend, and closest collaborator—of whom Jesus said, “Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater.” 
    In this insightful biography, Charles Croll offers a fresh perspective on the man who introduced the Trinity to the world and prepared the way for Pentecost. With clarity and depth, John the Baptist: A Biography explores his background, message, and lasting influence—not only on Jesus’ ministry but also on the early church. 
    This audiobook combines accessible storytelling with rigorous scholarship, making the life and teaching of John the Baptist vivid and relevant for modern listeners. 
    "Whether from a historical or a spiritual standpoint, this is a fascinating, scholarly, very inspiring account of the life and legacy of Jesus' cousin—the one he called the greatest man in the world. I couldn’t put it down and could not recommend it more." 
    — Sandy Millar, Former Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton, Honorary Assistant Bishop in London

    General George S. Patton was one of the most influential military leaders of the 20th century, his name forever linked with boldness, aggression, and relentless pursuit of victory. His legacy as a tactical genius in World War II is undisputed, particularly for his innovative strategies and dynamic leadership during key campaigns in Europe. Patton’s approach to warfare, characterized by rapid movement, audacity, and the application of psychological warfare, was a departure from traditional military doctrine and left an indelible mark on modern military tactics. 
      
    Patton’s leadership was grounded in his deep understanding of warfare, which was built upon a combination of formal training, historical knowledge, and an innate sense of battlefield dynamics. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he believed in the power of initiative, often taking risks to strike the enemy when and where they least expected it. His emphasis on speed and maneuverability — particularly through the use of tanks and combined arms tactics — allowed his forces to outpace and outflank the enemy, creating chaos and forcing decisive confrontations on his terms. This ability to maintain the initiative and exploit weaknesses in enemy lines was a hallmark of Patton's genius.

    “This military biography clearly and informatively rescues from an undeserved obscurity one of the Union’s key commanders at the battle of Gettysburg.” —Midwest Book Review Citizen-soldier Strong Vincent was many things: Harvard graduate, lawyer, political speaker, descendent of pilgrims and religious refugees, husband, father, brother. But his greatest contribution to history is as the savior of the Federal left flank on the second day at Gettysburg, when he and his men held Little Round Top against overwhelming Confederate numbers. Forgotten by history in favor of his subordinate, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Vincent has faded into relative obscurity in the decades since his death. This book restores Vincent to his rightful place among the heroes of the battle of Gettysburg: presenting his life story using new, never-before-published sources and archival material to bring the story of one of the most forgotten officers of the American Civil War back to the attention of readers and historians.“This is a well-researched and well-written book, and the author makes a strong case for Colonel Vincent’s essential role in the union victory at Gettysburg.” —The Journal of America’s Military Past “Erie, Pennsylvania historian Hans G. Myers brings to life an overlooked Gettysburg hero . . . a good, well-researched biography certainly worth the read.” —Maine at War“Readers of battle history, in particular the voluminous literature on Gettysburg, will find interest in both the short life of Strong Vincent and the hereto unheralded role his decisions played in saving the Federal left flank at Little Round Top.” —Journal of MilitaryHistory
