Bucks County's Benevolent Squire
George Frederick Tyler was born in 1883 into an enormously wealthy Philadelphia family whose money was made during the post-Civil War industrial era. Daniel Tyler, his grandson, explores GFT's life with no small degree of bias against what the author thought was an ostentatious lifestyle during the Great Depression when many were suffering. Subsequent research confirmed and challenged his predispositions. Established by GFT, Neshaminy Farms shipped Ayrshire heifers all over the world and produced high-quality Hereford cattle as well as wheat sought after by the Jewish community for its purity. A very private person, GFT enjoyed the privileges connected to wealth, yet he served as board president of the Abington Memorial Hospital, State Commander of the American Legion, and promoted the Boy Scouts of America. He and his wife Stella, as well as their heirs, made large gifts to Temple University, Bucks County Community College, Tyler Park, and Abington Memorial Hospital, to name a few. This is the story of a man who had everything and only needed to oversee his estate. Instead, George Frederick Tyler decided to create something worthwhile for the benefit of his fellow citizens.
The Little Dancin' Boy
Anton is a little boy who loves to dance. His parents and grandparents came from many places-England, Scotland, Spain, Mexico, and Vietnam-and the music and dance of those cultures flow through him. What's more, when he dances, he brings joy to everyone around him, because people who see him realize they are happiest when they dance. Throughout the world, Anton's reputation grows, and the leaders of many nations invite him to come dance for them to end conflict and bring about peace. And so he travels around the world, dancing and spreading hope to people everywhere. But one day, Anton finds himself in pain and unable to dance. None of his doctors can figure out what is wrong, and so he goes home, sad and weary. Will Anton's family be able to help him become the Little Dancin' Boy once more? In this bilingual children's story, one little boy, with the help of his family, shows the world that dance is the international language of peace and harmony.
The Unmade Man
Sometimes, when part of a man is lost, the rest seems in ruin. Sometimes it's the unknown that binds him together. By sliding the tattooed ribbon of runes across his skin, Boruin may chance upon powerful spells, but not knowing his own magic makes death the surer bet. When a mute boy reaches up and moves the runes, casting a spell as if born to the strange magic, Boruin finds the first lead to his blank past in thirty years. Discovering the truth of Boruin's forgotten youth will not be easy. His wraith guardian swings between moon-driven moods of lust and rage. The Fae courts are cracking mountains, stirring up ghosts, and waking flying serpents to find him. Each spinning of the tattoos is a...
The Uncommercial Traveller
'And O, Angelica, what has become of you, this present Sunday morning when I can't attend to the sermon; and, more difficult question than that, what has become of Me as I was when I sat by your side?' At the height of his career, around the time he was working on Great Expectations and Our Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens wrote a series of sketches, mostly set in London, which he collected as The Uncommercial Traveller. In the persona of 'the Uncommercial', Dickens wanders the city streets and brings London, its inhabitants, commerce and entertainment vividly to life. Sometimes autobiographical, as childhood experiences are interwoven with adult memories, the sketches include visits to the Pa...
Mastering Iron
Veins of iron run deep in the history of America. Iron making began almost as soon as European settlement, with the establishment of the first ironworks in colonial Massachusetts. Yet it was Great Britain that became the Atlantic world’s dominant low-cost, high-volume producer of iron, a position it retained throughout the nineteenth century. It was not until after the Civil War that American iron producers began to match the scale and efficiency of the British iron industry. In Mastering Iron, Anne Kelly Knowles argues that the prolonged development of the US iron industry was largely due to geographical problems the British did not face. Pairing exhaustive manuscript research with analys...
