Book Description
Coming Over discusses the English migration to New England in the seventeenth century and shows the importance of English connections in the lives of American colonists. David Cressy reviews the information available to prospective migrants, the decisions they had to reach and the actions necessary before they could settle in America. English men and women moved to New England with a variety of motives, and in a multitude of circumstances. 'Puritanism', involving religious harassment in England and the desire to follow God's ordinances in America, was only one of many factors impelling people to move. Rather than developing in wilderness isolation, the society and culture of seventeenth-century New England were constantly shaped by their English roots. A two-way flow of correspondence, messages and information linked colonists to their homeland. Family duties, political sympathies, friendships, business and legal obligations all led to a continuing attachment across the Atlantic. In treating early America from a British perspective, as a part of English history, Professor Cressy provides us with many insights into the seventeenth century.

Book Description
World War I was a global cataclysm that toppled centuries-old dynasties and launched "the American century." Yet at the outset few Americans saw any reason to get involved in yet another conflict among the crowned heads of Europe. Despite its declared neutrality, the U.S. government gradually became more sympathetic with the Allies, until President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany to "make the world safe for democracy." Key to this shift in policy and public opinion was the belief that the English-speaking peoples were inherently superior and fit for world leadership. Just before the war, British and American elites set aside former disputes and recognized their potential for dominating the international stage. By casting Germans as "barbarians" and spreading stories of atrocities, the Wilson administration persuaded the public--including millions of German Americans--that siding with the Allies was a just cause.

Book Description
Arthur Ransome's 'Swallows & Amazons' series is a collection of 12 adventure novels that follow the exciting escapades of the Walker and Blackett children during their summer holidays in the English Lake District. Ransome's vivid and descriptive writing style brings to life the beauty of the setting and the imaginative adventures of the young characters. The books are filled with sailing expeditions, treasure hunts, and daring missions, making them a delightful read for both children and adults alike. Set in the early 20th century, the series provides a nostalgic glimpse into a bygone era of childhood adventure and camaraderie. Arthur Ransome, a former journalist and foreign correspondent, drew inspiration from his own experiences sailing and exploring the Lake District when writing the 'Swallows & Amazons' series. His love for the outdoors and his deep understanding of children's perspectives shine through in his storytelling, capturing the essence of childhood wonder and exploration. I highly recommend 'Swallows & Amazons' to readers of all ages who enjoy timeless adventure stories with a nostalgic charm. Ransome's classic series is sure to captivate and inspire the imagination of anyone who embarks on this literary journey.

Book Description
His responsibility for overseeing the Homicide Unit and everyday exposure violent crimes throughout the city of Birmingham led Herman Hinton to write this novel depicting a young man who takes a circuitous route in his quest to restore the luster in his parents' dismal marriage. While in pursuit of what he believes is the key to restoring happiness in his family, Trey Wilcox meets some interesting people who at one time or another crossed paths with his dad, and makes other amazing discoveries. But more than anything else, this long and winding voyage reinforces his belief that family and lifelong relationships are vitally important for survival. This book is designed to help restore family values, to encourage friendly relationships, and to truncate the rise in the number of dysfunctional families across the globe. It is also designed to uplift victims of violent crimes, who might still be in despair because of the unwarranted trauma they have experienced.

Book Description
This practical book addresses the consistent questions that were posed by secondary social studies teachers during professional learning sessions. In particular, it examines ways to break through the inclination and perception expressed by many teachers that "my kids cannot do that." Drawing on 22 years as a high school history teacher, 7 years as a state level curriculum specialist, and extensive work with in-service teachers across the country, the author provides research-based guidance for engaging students in investigating the past. Lesh examines ways to develop effective questions that guide historical inquires, how to utilize discussion in the classroom, and how to align assessment to inquiry. He also shows teachers how to incorporate difficult histories within an inquiry framework. Each chapter uses a specific lesson, framed by student work, to illuminate approaches in real classroom scenarios. Topics include The Pullman Strike of 1894, the Marcus Garvey question, Dust Bowl Migrants, Mao and Communist China, the LGBTQ+ fight for rights, and multiple lessons from World War I. This follow-up to the author's book "Why Won't You Just Tell Us the Answer?" fills in gaps and expands tools and classroom examples to assist today's teachers. Book Features: Offers ways to promote teacher growth as it pertains to historical thinking. Demonstrates how to align investigating the past with the needs of reluctant readers and students with special needs. Provides lesson materials and instructional guidance. Addresses how to teach difficult subjects, such as LGBTQ+ history. Aligns historical literacy with inquiry-based instruction.
