Updated July 2019. This 84-page book is the history of the beautiful view of the Empire State Building bisecting the Civil War memorial Arch in Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza. Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux ceded control of Central Park to their detractors and then designed their own park - the Brooklyn Park. Their first step was to create the Plaza in 1865 and define its axis aimed at exactly where the Empire State Building would be built 65 years later. “What artist so noble... directs the shadows of a picture so great that Nature shall be employed upon it it for generations, before the work he has arranged for her shall realize his intentions.” – Olmsted, 1852 This book contains 24 full page photos of the View and a section on the Concert Grove alignment, the Lincoln statue returning to Grand Army Plaza, and "Book Two of the Incomplete Collection" - 24 original drawings and paintings unrelated to the Mirador.

After ceding control of Central Park to their detractors, Vaux and Olmsted created their own park...the Brooklyn Park. First they built the Plaza and defined its axis. The axis is the essential element in America's most historic visual corridor. As a work-in- progress, this corridor would, in time, beautifully evoke their concern of an emerging European-style, wealth-based privileged class. Includes 12 full-page color images of the View from the Brooklyn Mirador.

"Somewhere In Brooklyn" is the odyssey of a young man named Joe and his search for identity during the turbulent 1970¿s. Although Joe was entrenched in the traditional values of his Fifties upbringing, the seduction of the Sixties began the erosion of the umbilical lines that tethered him to convention. The Seventies was the knockout punch that forced him to realize that the road to success, that he thought he was riding, was merely a gangplank. Park Slope, Brooklyn is where Joe lands and meets his true self. "Somewhere In Brooklyn" is a work of fiction loosely based on the real life experiences of its author.

Indigenous America In The Spanish Language Classroom written by Anne Fountain and has been published by Georgetown University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2023 with Indigenous peoples categories.

"Many Spanish language teachers have little understanding of the indigenous languages and cultures that are part of the Spanish-speaking Americas. This book proposes to fill that gap and help teachers include the history and culture of Indigenous Peoples using a social justice lens. Indigenous America begins with an overview of the history of colonialism throughout the Spanish-speaking Americas and ties it to language teaching curricula and standards. Each substantive chapter ends with a list of conclusions, a list of questions for discussion and debate, and a set of teaching topics and concrete classroom exercises. Fountain will include photographs of places, people, and artifacts to make this history tangible. Appendices with more details about incorporating some rich resources into the Spanish language classroom are included, as is a glossary of important terms. This book is the first resource of its kind and is timely--teachers are eager to include more voices in their courses"--
