DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrancell Lee Schrader has written a heart warming and inspiring story based on the life of her grandmother Frances S. Lee. This remarkable trailblazing lady was a member of the Colorado Legislature in 1899/1900, twenty years before the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. Appalled by the horror of children working in the mines, Frances passed the Child Labor Law, the Compulsory Education Act, and much other landmark legislation protecting the health and safety of children. Frances was the first women ever to preside over the Colorado House of Representatives and won a gold medal from the Cripple Creek Miners as one of the ¡°Immortal Thirty Three¡± legislators who could not be bribed. Because she was known for her principle of not accepting gifts from anyone outside her family, her honesty and integrity shine like a beacon in today¡_s world. In the legislature again in 1913/14 at the time of the infamous Ludlow Massacre, Frances battled courageously on behalf of the miners. Lady of the Immortal Thirty Three is a rich tapestry woven of treasured family lore and amazing Colorado history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf I could talk to you about anything, it could be so much about life. Do you see life as a spectrum of colours which enhances it everyday or adds value to it ? Do you see it as a blank page which is just filled with events? The palette called life just cannot be empty but is full of vibrant colours on a page with elaborate description of all that happens. The best colours are found on the palette of life. The artist is you and you need to decide which colour you would use where. It only takes a blank space to start and when we do it is the colours and strokes that matter most. Some might see it as a blank canvas waiting to be brought to life just by a stroke by an artist. We all draw differently and we all express differently. A picture drawn by one person will differ even if the other draws the same. We see things differently don’t we? But every stroke of the brush adds something to the canvas and so does everything you say or do. What if I call life a rainbow? A rainbow that is rare yet fills the day or moment with happiness. A rainbow which has only seven colours but together gives the plain blue sky a different look altogether. I am sure all of you have seen the arch of the rainbow. What if I say it is a smile from above. The one just there , who looks down at us puts this smile on our face, which if you see from his side, is correct in shape. A smile that tries to fit in as many as it can. The one above just watches us smiling at the rainbow. Rainbow , the colours that dance between the raindrops and the sunlight. Colours that are just that little moment that you get between the good times and bad. Colours that turn a dull moment to life. The colours that suddenly appear turning a gloomy day to a cheerful one. Yet this sight is rare and short lived and is caught by only a few who notice it. They either enjoy the sight of a rainbow alone or share it with others. So is life, either to be lived alone or with people around you. There might be moments of happiness that bring you together or moments that you need when you feel low. In both of these situations the people present with you are just like the rainbow. You might not meet them always but whenever they are present they add the smile to your face or give you strength in times when you need it most. The colours are reflections of your inner self. They depict the various moods, the feelings , the emotions that are within you. The same colour might speak a different language for each one of us. The way we behave, the way we do things in life or simply the way we dress shows the dominant colour that we carry with us that particular day. Colours have a language of their own which is interpreted differently by individuals. But the rainbow is there, just waiting for the rays of the sun to outshine the drops of rain that seem to suddenly come out of nowhere. These drops of rain might seem colourless but can beautifully bring out the vibgyor which everyone watches in awe. Let me help you see this beautiful life with the various colours of a rainbow. Let me bring in the rainbow , for you to smile as you read what I share with you.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn evocative and richly illustrated exploration of flowers and how, over the centuries, they have given us so much sustenance, meaning, and pleasure The bright yellow of a marigold and the cheerful red of a geranium, the evocative fragrance of a lotus or a saffron-infused paella--there is no end of reasons to love flowers. Ranging through the centuries and across the globe, Kasia Boddy looks at the wealth of floral associations that has been passed down in perfumes, poems, and paintings; in the design of buildings, clothes, and jewelry; in songs, TV shows, and children's names; and in nearly every religious, social, and political ritual. Exploring the first daffodils of spring and the last chrysanthemums of autumn, this is also a book about seasons. In vibrant detail and drawing on a rich array of illustrations, Boddy considers how the sunflower, poppy, rose, lily--and many others--have given rise to meaning, value, and inspiration throughout history, and why they are integral to so many different cultures.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPopular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Highlights from Volume 22 include: . the writings of Charles Kingsley . excerpts from Rudyard Kipling . excerpts from the Koran . the poetry of Jean de la Fontaine . selections from Charles Lamb's Essays of Elia . the literary criticism of Andrew Lang . the poems of Sidney Lanier . and much, much more.
