Product Description
7. The Indians were, in many respects, a peculiar people. Though ignorant and savage, they were not idolaters. They believed in one God, whom they called the "Great Spirit." They were not shepherds or farmers, for they had no domestic animals except dogs, and their corn fields were but insignificant patches, cleared and cultivated by their women. They cleared these little patches of land by burning down the trees, and their plow was a crooked stick with which they scratched over the ground for planting the corn. The men hunted, and fought with other tribes, but disdained to be found engaged in any useful labor. ... Read more

Product Description
This edition is written in English. However, there is a running Hungarian thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of School History of North Carolina (From 1584 to the Present Time. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your Hungarian-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Hungarian, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. This edition is helpful to Hungarian-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. Students who are actively building their vocabularies in Hungarian or English may also find this useful for Advanced Placement® (AP®) tests.

Excerpt:The Kenan-Flagler Business School is the undergraduate and graduate business school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The school offers a BSBA, M.B.A, Executive M.B.A., Master of Accounting, Ph.D, as well as many executive education programs. Established in 1919 as the Department of Commerce of UNC Chapel Hill's College of Arts, the School was renamed the Kenan-Flagler Business School in 1991 to honor two prominent American business families and benefactors of the School: philanthropist Mary Lily Kenan Flagler and her husband, Henry Morrison Flagler. The renaming was in recognition of a generous gift from Frank Hawkins Kenan, another Kenan family member and benefactor of the School's Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise. In 1997, the McColl Building opened at Kenan-Flagler to complete today's campus. With 191,000 square feet (17,700 m2), Hugh McColl's namesake has more than tripled the space that the school occupied at Carroll Hall. The Kenan and Flagler Families - A Legacy of Leadership Both the Kenan and Flagler families have been well represented among leading entrepreneurs of their day. Mary Lily's brother, William R. Kenan Jr., discovered acetylene gas, which led to the creation of Union Carbide. Her husband, Henry Morrison Flagler co-founded the Standard Oil Co. with John D. Rockefeller and is responsible for the development of Florida's eastern coast. Prior to his arrival in Florida, the state was virtually inaccessible except by ship. Flagler founded what eventually became known as the Flagler System Companies made up of railroad, shipping, real estate, and hotel development and utility companies. The system's flagship was the famous Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach. The Kenan family's roots are intertwined not only w... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4722709 ... Read more

Product Description
A century ago, the Brevard Rosenwald School in Transylvania County, North Carolina, opened its doors to African American students from the community and the surrounding area. It was a microcosm of the community it served; teachers and pupils lived on the same streets, shopped in the same stores, worshiped at the same churches, and teachers and parents served on the same committees, confronted similar social and economic problems, and sought each other’s advice about issues in daily life.

This book is a history of the school, with special attention given to the years 1920 to 1966, and its attempts to improve the education of African Americans in the South. It also focuses on the school’s beginnings, development, significance to the community, closing, and the integration process and the Rosenwald community today. The author also presents narratives from former students about their experiences and educational goals, pursuits and accomplishments at the school and later in their lives. ... Read more

From "Nigger, Nigger, Black as Tar, Won't Go to Heaven in a Motor Car" to "They're Not Ready Yet," this book breathes life into an often-abandoned, rural Black family story. This book illuminates a struggle and hope for education in Southern desegregated grade schools and illustrates school experiences from multiple generations within three Black families as it introduces Black family pedagogy "of roots and wings"-keys to survival and success at a crossroads of law, tradition, and transition. Black Hands in the Biscuits Not in the Classrooms is a must read for lifelong students of education, sociology, public policy, and history. ... Read more
