My Century in History: Memoirs
by Thomas D. ClarkThe imminent American historian and author of A History of Kentucky shares his life story, spanning the twentieth century.When Thomas D. Clark was hired to teach history at the University of Kentucky in 1931, he began a career that would span nearly three-quarters of a century and would profoundly change not only the history department and the university but the entire Commonwealth. His still-definitive AHistory of Kentucky (1937) was one of more than thirty books he would write or edit that dealt with Kentucky, the South, and the American frontier.In addition to his wide scholarly contributions, Clark devoted his life to the preservation of Kentucky’s historical records. He began this crusade by collecting vast stores of Kentucky's military records from the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the Civil War. His efforts resulted in the Commonwealth’s first archival system and the subsequent creation of the Kentucky Library and Archives, the University of Kentucky Special Collections and Archives, the Kentucky Oral History Commission, the Kentucky History Center (recently named for him), and the University Press of Kentucky.Born in 1903 on a cotton farm in Louisville, Mississippi, Thomas Dionysius Clark would follow a long and winding path to find his life’s passion in the study of history. He dropped out of school after seventh grade to work first at a sawmill and then on a canal dredge boat before resuming his formal education. Clark’s earliest memories—hearing about local lynch-mob violence and witnessing the destruction of virgin forest—are an invaluable window into the national issues of racial injustice and environmental depredation. In many ways, the story of Dr. Clark’s life is the story of America in the twentieth century. In My Century in History, Clark offers vivid memories of his journey, both personal and academic, a journey that took him from Mississippi to Kentucky and North Carolina, to leadership of the nation’s major historical organizations, and to visiting professorships in Austria, England, Greece, and India, as well as in universities throughout the United States.An enormously popular public lecturer and teacher, he touched thousands of lives in Kentucky and around the world. With his characteristic wit and insight, Clark now offers his many admirers one final volume of history—his own.

My Dad Makes the Best Boats
by Jo Johnson'How can we talk to our children about Brain Injury?' This is a regularly asked question by parents who have suffered a brain injury and their respective partners. This book has been designed so that children between five and eight can read it independently. However, ideal if should be used with an adult to facilitieate discussion about all aspects of family life and to enhance general emotional wellbeing. This book deliberately makes brain injury one of many things going on for this small group of children because for most children it is only one of many issues in their family life. This story is intended to emphasize that all families are different, with their own strengths and weaknesses and different experiences. Brain injury is another experience that some people encounter and others do not. 'My Dad Makes the Best Boats' should prove to be a great reassurance and comfort for children coping with a parent's brain injury. The book presents situations in which brain injured people can be angry, forgetful or unreasonable and shows that it is not the fault of either parent or child and children should not blame themselves. It also demonstrates the positive aspects of life with a brain injured parent and the enjoyable times that can be spent together'. Headway: The Brain Injury Association 'This book has proved to be a very useful support mechanism for service users and families in the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust. We are sure that this will continue to be the case, especially with the inclusion of new activity pages; Professor Michael Oddy, Director of Clinical Services Brain Injury Rehabilitiation Trust.

My eerste leesboek
by Annerie Du Toit Amber RichardsVoorwoord Hierdie e-boek is doelbewus sonder enige illustrasies (behalwe vir die een hierbo). Dit dien as 'n hulpmiddel om jong lesers op te lei hoe om te lees en daar word spesifiek op die woorde gefokus sodat die kinders se aandag nie deur die illustrasies afgetrek kan word nie. Dit is ’n groot stap na afloop van die leer van die alfabet en die fonetiek van elke letter. Dit begin met drieletter-woorde en beweeg dan na vier en vyf letters en 'n paar groter woorde. Dan word daar na hierdie spesifieke woorde gekyk in die gebruik van volledige sinne. Dit help wanneer die kinders hierdie woorde verbaliseer en só die woorde memoriseer deur dit gereeld te gebruik. Dikwels memoriseer kinders woorde deur middel van illustrasies in plaas daarvan om die woord te lees. Woorde wat rym word ook doelbewus in hierdie boek geskommel ten einde dit meer uitdagend te maak. Ek is tans besig om ’n tweejarige te leer lees, wat my gemotiveer het om hierdie boek te skryf. Hy het reeds die alfabet onder die knie, klein- en hoofletters en die fonetiek daarmee saam. Dit was moeilik om eenvoudige “woordeboeke” sonder enige illustrasies op te spoor om as die aanknopingspunt te gebruik. Hiermee dien hierdie boek as ʼn hulpmiddel om hom te leer en ek is seker daar is ander mense wat ook hierby sal baat. Ek hoop u vind dit as ʼn nuttige hulpmiddel vir jou jong leser.
