A brief biography for each artist tells why his or her work is important, and a kid-tested art activity tries out the artist's approach. For Georgia O'Keeffe, the activity is a desert painting; for Frederic Remington, a face cast; for Leroy Nieman, a sketch of athletes; and for James Whistler, a clay engraving. Projects stress the creative process and encourage kids to try unusual techniques such as block printing, soak-stain, and stone carving as they learn about architecture, drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture. A resource guide provides a glossary of art terms, a list that groups the artists by style, a list of the artists' birthdays, an index of art supplies, and websites for viewing art online.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 263-277) and index."When a mixed martial arts (MMA) gym moves in across the street from his office, Jonathan Gottschall sees a challenge, and an opportunity.

Gottschall eventually works up his nerve, and starts training for a real cage fight. He's fighting not only as a personal test but also to answer questions that have intrigued him for years: Why do men fight? And why do so many seemingly decent people like to watch?"--Amazon.com.

In the hands of the people : Thomas Jefferson on equality, faith, freedom, compromise, and the art of citizenship / by Jefferson, Thomas,1743-1826,author.(CARDINAL)144839; Meacham, Jon,edito,r,writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)344468; Gordon-Reed, Annette,writer of afterword.(CARDINAL)211263; Ragosta, John A.,editor.(CARDINAL)309883; Thomas Jefferson Foundation,sponsor.(CARDINAL)538406;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 97-98).Introduction: to enlighten the people -- The ongoing quest for equality -- The right-and responsibility-to vote -- The vitality of a free press -- Faith and freedom -- The role of education -- Reflective patriotism versus reflexive partisanship -- The art and science of compromise -- Wealth and its disparities -- The question of immigration -- Threats to the republic -- The utility of hope -- Perspectives on Jefferson -- Other presidents on Jefferson and Jeffersonian America."Thomas Jefferson believed in the covenant between a government and its citizens, in both the government's responsibilities to its people and also the people's responsibility to the republic. In this illuminating collection, a project of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jon Meacham has gathered Jefferson's most powerful and provocative reflections on the subject, drawn from public speeches and documents as well as his private correspondence. Still relevant centuries later, Jefferson's words provide a manual for U.S. citizenship in the twenty-first century. His thoughts will re-shape and revitalize the way readers relate to concepts including Freedom: "Divided we stand, united we fall." The importance of a free press: "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." Public education: "Enlighten the public generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body & mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day." Participation in government: A citizen should be "a participator in the government of affairs not merely at an election, one day in the year, but every day.""--
