Arthur Stanwood Pier's 'The Jester of St. Timothy's' is a captivating novel set in a boarding school, exploring the themes of friendship, loyalty, and the coming-of-age experience of young boys. The narrative is rich in detail and paints a vivid picture of the daily life and challenges faced by the students. Pier's writing style is reminiscent of classic boarding school novels, with a focus on character development and moral lessons intertwined with humor and wit. The book is a valuable contribution to the genre of school stories, offering a unique perspective on adolescence and social dynamics. Arthur Stanwood Pier, a prominent American author known for his works for young readers, draws on his own experiences in educational settings to craft a story that resonates with authenticity and relatability. His understanding of the complexities of youth and the importance of friendship shines through in 'The Jester of St. Timothy's,' making it a must-read for fans of coming-of-age tales and school novels. I highly recommend this book to readers looking for a well-crafted and engaging story with timeless themes and memorable characters.
This is a classic study of Philadelphia’s business aristocracy of colonial stock with Protestant affiliations. It is also an analysis of how fabulously wealthy nineteenth-century family founders produced a national upper-class way of life. But as that way of life came to an end, the upper-class outlived its function; this, argues E. Digby Baltzell, is precisely what took place in the Philadelphia class system. For sociologists, historians, and those concerned with issues of culture and the economy, this is indeed a classic of modern social science.
This book introduces the beginning student to the major concepts, materials and tools of the discipline of geography. While it presents geographic theory, as whole and for each of its parts, the chief emphasis is on concrete analysis and example rather than on abstraction, an approach which has proven more successful for undergraduate courses than those with a more heavily theoretical bias. The text was extensively re-written for the third edition, which enhanced its clarity and effectiveness, with expanded cartographic coverage.
