The first communities were the Chautauquas, where lectures on philosophy, science or politics were offered. For the devout, there were Camp Meetings where one attended purely for religious instruction. Spiritualist camps were among the rarest and incorporated séances to talk to your dead ancestors.\/While attending programs, families could engage in outdoor recreation and craft classes. Tents were first used for accommodations but were quickly replaced by wooden frame cottages in Victorian, Arts and Crafts and Adirondack styles.

Here are approximately 3900 different kinds, from simple hitches to \"Marlingspike Seamanship.\" Mr. Ashley has included almost everything there is to know about them. Precisely named and classified (some new ones for the first time officially), they can be easily found in the big index. He tells when they appeared, something about their history, and what they are good for. Above all, Mr. Ashley gives explicit directions on how to tie them. He describes each step simply and clearly in the text and has penned right alongside some 7000 drawings to make it still more graphic. This book and a piece of cord will open a new and challenging world of practical adventure to readers of all ages. There are many distinctive features to this informal encyclopedia. Outstanding are the delightful sketches and illustrations by the author that enliven every page. Mr. Ashley, a prominent marine artist, is at his best here. Sailors have been the greatest experimenters with rope, but since they have no monopoly on the art, the author describes knots used in over ninety other occupations. These range alphabetically from Archer to Yachtsman, and aesthetically from Florist to Hangman. The forty-one chapters include knots classed under such general types as \"Hooks, Beckets, and Toggles, \" \"The Noose, \" and \"Tricks and Puzzles.\" Mr. Ashley has devoted eleven years to writing this book, and it is based on forty years of looking for, trying out, and thinking up new knots. His drawings abound in humo and the text is full of colorful anecdotes.

Mexican cultures created corn in a specialized breeding process that it has been called man's first feat of genetic engineering.

Moore and Cherelle Parker. Kahan also shows us how Philadelphia has always been defined by ethnic, religious, and racial diversity--from the seventeenth century, when Dutch, Swedes, and Lenapes lived side by side along the Delaware; to the nineteenth century, when the city was home to a vibrant community of free Black and formerly enslaved people; to the twentieth century, when it attracted immigrants from around the world. This diversity, however, often resulted in conflict, especially over access to public spaces. Those two themes-- diversity and conflict-- have shaped Philadelphia's development and remain visible in the city's culture, society, and even its geography. Understanding Philadelphia's past, Kahan says, is key to envisioning future possibilities for the City of Brotherly Love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor: Paul Kahan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 424\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished: October, 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46246365954206,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0470\/9551\/3246\/files\/PhiladelphiaANaarativeHistory.png?v=1764620305"},{"product_id":"ben-fletcher-the-life-and-times-of-a-black-wobbly","title":"Ben Fletcher: The Life and Times of a Black Wobbly","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the early twentieth century, when many US unions disgracefully excluded black and Asian workers, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) warmly welcomed people of color, in keeping with their emphasis on class solidarity and their bold motto: \"An Injury to One Is an Injury to All!\"\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBen Fletcher: The Life and Times of a Black Wobbly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etells the story of one of the greatest heroes of the American working class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brilliant union organizer and a humorous orator, Benjamin Fletcher (1890-1949) was a tremendously important and well-loved African American member of the IWW during its heyday.
