This eleventh edition was developed during the encyclopaedia's transition from a British to an American publication. Some of its articles were written by the best-known scholars of the time and it is considered to be a landmark encyclopaedia for scholarship and literary style.

From June 28, 1933 to June 27, 1934, every day for a year, Dorman B. E. Kent wrote an article for the Montpelier Evening Argus about the people, places and events of late 19th and early 20th century Montpelier and many surrounding towns. In these articles he mentions thousands of people by name and writes a compelling history of Montpelier not so much through the eyes of the community leaders and high society types that often dominate such histories, but through anecdotes of those both great and small and in doing so he gives a good account that should be of interest to all of those who can trace their roots back to the smallest state capitol in the country.

A Tragedy of America's Sixties! A Young Idealist's Wrenching Journey! In a small Midwestern city, young James Brandes seems destined for success. His family cares for him, while teachers nurture his inquisitive mind. With friends he has traditionally good times. Not for long though, as The Vietnam War begins to encroach on church, home, and school. James' idealism wavers at the state university, where President Johnson's policies activate protests and fray campus life. When LBJ withdraws from the upcoming election, hope revives but only briefly. Evens in Washington, home and the university weave together as Howard, James' hometown buddy, goes off to Vietnam while James becomes more involved in campus protest activity. When Nixon covertly bombs Hanoi and invades Cambodia, another hometown friend, Randy, lures James into an act forever transforming him and those he has known. Based loosely on actual happenings at the University of Wisconsin in the late 1960's and 1970, EVENTS OF THE DAY recreates one of America's most turbulent eras. A story of government gone wrong. Of personal courage. Of love snatched away by history.

New York Times Bestseller "I never thought science could be funny . . . until I read Frank Einstein. It will have kids laughing." —Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid "Huge laughs and great science—the kind of smart, funny stuff that makes Jon Scieszka a legend." —Mac Barnett, author of Battle Bunny and The Terrible Two Clever science experiments, funny jokes, and robot hijinks await readers in the first of six books in the New York Times bestselling Frank Einstein chapter book series from the mad scientist team of Jon Scieszka and Brian Biggs. The perfect combination to engage and entertain readers, the series features real science facts with adventure and humor, making these books ideal for STEM education. This first installment examines the science of “matter.” Kid-genius and inventor Frank Einstein loves figuring out how the world works by creating household contraptions that are part science, part imagination, and definitely unusual. In the series opener, an uneventful experiment in his garage-lab, a lightning storm, and a flash of electricity bring Frank’s inventions—the robots Klink and Klank—to life! Not exactly the ideal lab partners, the wisecracking Klink and the overly expressive Klank nonetheless help Frank attempt to perfect his inventions.. . . until Frank’s archnemesis, T. Edison, steals Klink and Klank for his evil doomsday plan! Integrating real science facts with wacky humor, a silly cast of characters, and science fiction, this uniquely engaging series is an irresistible chemical reaction for middle-grade readers. With easy-to-read language and graphic illustrations on almost every page, this chapter book series is a must for reluctant readers. The Frank Einstein series encourages middle-grade readers to question the way things work and to discover how they, too, can experiment with science. In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews raves, “This buoyant, tongue-in-cheek celebration of the impulse to ‘keep asking questions and finding your own answers’ fires on all cylinders,” while Publishers Weekly says that the series “proves that science can be as fun as it is important and useful.” Read all the books in the New York Times bestselling Frank Einstein series: Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor (Book 1), Frank Einstein and the Electro-Finger (Book 2), Frank Einstein and the BrainTurbo (Book 3), and Frank Einstein and the EvoBlaster Belt (Book 4).

Like the picture of the little sparrow, you see here, God is watching over you and cares for you. He has plans for you. Taken nearby Caesarea Phillippi at the foot of Mt. Hermon in the Golan Heights. Remember, not to worry. His eye is on you as on the Sparrow, "Yet not one of them is forgotten in God's sight" (Luke 12:6). The purpose of this book is to assist and help the reader strengthen his/her faith and trust in Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of all who have a simple and enduring love of God. My hope is from your "testing of the spirits," you will see that God's organizational plan is perfect and is given for our edification and instruction. His timeline to the end of days is right on track. Like the sparrow, God has a special plan for you, as it is written: For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) If you know about Jeremiah, it would seem as if our Lord had left him and had forsaken him. But God was hidden in the background, watching him like He watches the sparrow. The reader is about to embark on an adventure with no doubt bumps along the road. Please, whenever a spot in this book hits hard against your traditions, education, or social surrounding, just keep on reading to the end. Trust in God. As it is written, "In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?" (Psalm 56:4). Please, enjoy your journey! 2

The initiative came about in the wake of the Pentagon's Vietnam War history project and was designed to bring an anti-war counter-narrative about the war and its impact on the populations of all involved in the Vietnam War. These letters were written by Vietnam War veterans, their families, anti-war resistors and anyone whose life was impacted by the war. They were delivered to the "Wall" on Memorial Day 2015 and 2016.
