Book Description
Excerpt from The Plymouth Rock Standard and Breed Book: A Complete Description of All Varieties of Plymouth Rocks, With the d104 in Full From the Latest (1915) Revised Edition of the American Standard of Perfection as It Relates to All Varieties of Plymouth Rocks, Also, With Treatises in Breeding, Reading, Fee The organization of the American Poultry Association was effected at Buffalo. New York. February, 1873, by delegates from different state and county associations, prominent breeders, fanciers, and other interested persons from different sections of the United States and Canada. Mr. W. H. Churchman of Wilmington. Delaware, was the first president and Mr. J. M. Wade of Philadelphia, the first secretary. At that time the fundamental object of this organization was to standardize the different varieties of domestic and ornamental fowls, and to that end. a complete Standard of Excellence, for all varieties then recognized, was formulated and adopted which was recommended as the guide for judging at all poultry exhibitions. The American Poultry Association has since broadened its scope and annual conventions have visited nearly all of our large industrial centers. The first edition of the Standard was issued in February, 1874. It has been followed by several revised editions, but the work of the first Standard makers was so thorough, accurate and far-seeing that but few changes, and these of minor importance, have been necessary. Many new breeds and varieties, nearly all of later origin, have been admitted. After a few editions, the title "Standard of Excellence" was changed to read. "Standard of Perfection" as one. theoretically at least, more in accord with its prescribed ideals. Until 1905, all editions contained text descriptions only, and no attempt was made to delineate ideal fowls. The 1905 edition contains this innovation. The illustrations were line drawings by the best known poultry artists of that time. These were received with approval, in sufficient measure so that the plan of presenting outline illustrations of many of the leading varieties were continued.

Book Description
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Book Description
In A History of Modern Psychology in Context, the authors resist the traditional storylines of great achievements by eminent people, or schools of thought that rise and fall in the wake of scientific progress. Instead, psychology is portrayed as a network of scientific and professional practices embedded in specific contexts. The narrative is informed by three key concepts—indigenization, reflexivity, and social constructionism—and by the fascinating interplay between disciplinary Psychology and everyday psychology.
