Eliza Scidmore
'A wonderful connecting of two women writers' stories more than a century apart.' Julia Kuehn, The University of Hong Kong The first-ever biography of the pioneering female journalist who fought to bring Japanese cherry trees to Washington, DC Every age has strong, independent women who defy the gender conventions of their era to follow their hearts and minds. Eliza Scidmore was one such maverick. Born on the American frontier just before the Civil War, she rose from modest beginnings to become a journalist who roamed far and wide writing about distant places for readers back home. By her mid-20s she had visited more places than most people would see in a lifetime. By the end of the nineteen...
Summary of Patricia B. McConnell & Brenda Scidmore's The Puppy Primer
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Socialization is the process of exposing your puppy to a variety of things he may encounter as an adult dog, from young, bouncy children to someone in a wheelchair. This helps him grow up to be friendly and confident. #2 It is important to expose your puppy to different people and situations, as this will help him learn that people are not always harmful. Young pups should be exposed to positive interactions with people and new environments several times a week. #3 Puppies need to meet and interact with various different types of dogs to learn the rules of polite canine encounters. They should also meet different dogs of all sizes, shapes, and colors, so that they can learn how to play well with others. #4 Positive reinforcement is when you reward your dog when they do something you want them to do. It is important to remember that positive reinforcement is what makes your dog more likely to repeat a behavior.
Eliza Scidmore
Deeply researched and briskly written, this first-ever biography of Scidmore draws heavily on her own writings to follow major events of a helf-century as seen through the eyes of a remarkable woman who was far ahead of her time.
Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore and Japan
This book examines the extraordinary life and career of Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore (October 14, 1856-November 3, 1928). She was a pioneering American woman in many respects. Scidmore traveled to the American frontiers, such as the Dakota territory and the Alaskan wilderness--including the Aleutians--and wrote the first travel guide to Alaska. She was also the first female regular correspondent for National Geographic, and wrote extensively about exotic places in the Far East. Moreover, Scidmore was the original proponent for transplanting Japanese flowering cherry trees to the area around the Potomac tidal basin. However, few records of her life have been preserved, and her life is shrouded in mystery. It is high time that she be given overdue credit for enlightening Americans about exotic cultures, in general, and for introducing the Japanese flowering cherry trees to the U.S. capital, in particular.
Adventure Journalism in the Gilded Age
These new essays tell the stories of daring reporters, male and female, sent out by their publishers not to capture the news but to make the news--indeed to achieve star billing--and to capitalize on the Gilded Age public's craze for real-life adventures into the exotic and unknown. They examine the adventure journalism genre through the work of iconic writers such as Mark Twain and Nellie Bly, as well as lesser-known journalistic masters such as Thomas Knox and Eliza Scidmore, who took to the rivers and oceans, mineshafts and mountains, rails and trails of the late nineteenth century, shaping Americans' perceptions of the world and of themselves.
The Food Adventurers
A delectable gastronomic expedition into the linked histories of global travel and global cuisine. From mangosteen fruit discovered in a colonial Indonesian marketplace to caviar served on the high seas in a cruise liner’s luxurious dining saloon, The Food Adventurers narrates the history of eating on the most coveted of tourist journeys: the around-the-world adventure. The book looks at what tourists ate on these adventures, as well as what they avoided, and what kinds of meals they described in diaries, photographs, and postcards. Daniel E. Bender shows how circumglobal travel shaped popular fascination with world cuisines while leading readers on a culinary tour from Tahitian roast pig in the 1840s, to the dining saloon of the luxury Cunard steamer Franconia in the 1920s, to InterContinental and Hilton hotel restaurants in the 1960s and ’70s.
