Soldiers in petticoats : Appalachian educators - Sophia Sawyer, Emily Prudden, Martha Berry / by Reed, Betty Jamerson,1937-author.(CARDINAL)268743;
includes Bibliography references (pages 271-296) and index.Sophia Sawyer, Emily Prudden, and Martha Berry encountered sexism, prejudice, financial hardship, discrimination, challenging travel conditions, exclusion from the right to vote, and social complacency. On one occasion two militiamen showed up at the school door and threatened to arrest the teacher if she continued teaching black children to read. Another instructor dealt with murder and mayhem, violence, loss of life, and racial hostility. And a third was shunned by her neighbors because she associated with poor mountaineers and "begged" to keep her school open. Their victories against overwhelming obstacles on behalf of struggling youth in the Southern Appalachian region, as well as in Oklahoma and Arkansas, led each into a deeper Christian life. With vision, audacity, and resolution these teachers enabled students to succeed. Their accomplishments as educators and as Christians provide inspiration for today's readers. Sawyer, Prudden, and Berry were viewed in their culture as weak. However, they battled ignorance, bias, superstition, and even dirt, as they effectively changed the lives of thousands of children and adults. --

Everything you need to ace biology in one big fat notebook : the complete high school study guide / by Brown, Matthew,1994-author.;
Basics of biology -- The chemistry of life -- Cell theory -- Bacteria, viruses, prions, and viroids -- Protists -- Fungi -- Plants -- Animals -- The human body -- Genetics -- Life on Earth -- Ecosystems and habitats."The Big Fat Notebooks' big step up to high school continues! Announcing Biology, the third in the high school series. With over 5 million copies in print since 2016, and sales escalating every year, the Big Fat Notebooks series is revolutionizing the middle and high school study guide. And Biology continues with the high school STEM concentration, following Chemistry and Geometry, which in turn followed in the footsteps of the middle school series' bestselling titles, Math (TK million copies in print) and Science (with TK million copies in print). Wrapping its arms around a subject that covers everything from life at the molecular level to the entirety of an ecosystem, Biology tackles all the big ideas: biological classification and hierarchy, cell theory, genetics, the human body, evolution, and more. And it does so in that lively, useful, and intuitive way that makes the Big Fat Notebooks so singular and successful: Critical ideas are broken down and clearly explained; doodles illuminate tricky concepts; mnemonics provide memorable shortcuts; and quizzes recap it all. Plus, the author, Matthew Brown, a biomedical engineer and science communicator, has an easy, engaging way of bringing even the most complex scientific concepts to life."--Grades 10-12.Ages 14-18.
