The Via Afrika intermediate phase graded readers are divided into three sets of twelve readers: a Grade 4 level, a Grade 5 level and a Grade 6 level. However, you may find it useful to use all three sets in one grade to give learners an opportunity to read at their correct level. Learners should read books that are on their level or slightly below it, so that they can read easily and fluently. The reader should contain very few words that the learner cannot read or understand from the context. Once a learner has read all the books on a particular level, the learner can go on to the next level. Each set of readers is graded from an easy level (suitable for learners reading at the simplest level) to more difficult levels (suitable for the learner reading at the higher levels of the grade). There are fiction readers, non-fiction readers and readers that are a mixture of fact and fiction. Each reader includes a few questions to think about or for discussion in a group. Use the Via Afrika intermediate phase graded readers for independent reading, pair reading or guided group reading.

This volume of The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism, first published in 2000, provides a thorough account of the critical tradition emerging with the modernist and avant-garde writers of the early twentieth century (Eliot, Pound, Stein, Yeats), continuing with the New Critics (Richards, Empson, Burke, Winters), and feeding into the influential work of Leavis, Trilling and others who helped form the modern institutions of literary culture. The core period covered is 1910-60, but explicit connections are made with nineteenth-century traditions and there is discussion of the implications of modernism and the New Criticism for our own time, with its inherited formalism, anti-sentimentalism, and astringency of tone. The book provides a companion to the other twentieth-century volumes of The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism, and offers a systematic and stimulating coverage of the development of the key literary-critical movements, with chapters on groups and genres as well as on individual critics.

The essays in this new collection, all by outstanding experts in the field of modern literature, provide a different and more complex sense of Eliot's place in literary history. The eight essays are: "The Waste Land Fifty Years After," by A. Walton Litz; "The Urban Apocalypse," by Hugh Kenner; "The First Waste Land:' by Richard Ellmann;" The Waste Land: Paris 1922," by Helen Gardner; "New Modes of Characterization in The Waste Land," by Robert Langbaum; "Precipitating Eliot," by Robert M. Adams; "Fear in the Way: The Design of Eliot's Drama," by Michael Goldman; and "Anglican Eliot," by Donald Davie. Originally published in 1973. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Ocimum bacilicum L. is an aromatic herb commonly known as sweet basil or sweet tulsi. It is rich in secondary metabolites like phenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, aldehydes, flavonoids, steroids, glycosides, essential oils, saponins, and tannins. The presence of these compounds makes sweet basil one of the most commonly used plant in aromatherapy, perfume, cosmetics, and in foods. The utilization potential of the sweet basil in different industrial section increases its importance. The first chapter underlines secondary metabolites of sweet basil and their importance in different aspects. The second chapter considers the recent concepts of application organic manures in integration with inorganic fertilizers in different reviews and research studies that fulfills the nutritional needs in sweet basil and gives the best quality of it. The third chapter summarizes the potential uses, cultivation, and available germplasm of O. basilicum in Turkey. The fourth chapter reviews literature on antiviral activity of O. basilicum to find molecules capable of inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 main protease. This could permit the use of this plant in the fight against COVID-19 and associated diseases. The last chapter is an examination of antisickling activity of Ocimum Basilicum and some of its compounds.

This thesis identifies a force, inherent in the national security decision-making process, which contributed to the American involvement in Viet Nam. Termed "policy precedents," this force may be outside the control of the unwary decision maker and can result in irrational international behavior on the part of the nation. Once a policy or program becomes totally enmeshed within the governmental organization it becomes such a firm commitment that deviation from within becomes virtually impossible. At this point the means supplants the end and past policy drives present and future policies. Flexibility in decision making is lost and only a force from outside the government can effect a change. To develop this thesis the author employs the historical method and traces the development of American policy as directed toward Indochina and Viet Nam during the period 1944 to 1961. Policies are analyzed to isolate American national interests and objectives, to determine the courses of action considered, and to identify the stated rationale for selection of the final policy. The "classical" or "pure rationality" decision-making model is employed to assist in this analysis. To accomplish this research a great deal of material was reviewed, analyzed and isolated. The available literature, both the limited primary and voluminous secondary sources were reviewed.

Number, as applied to objects, is one of the first properties perceived by the child; he/she intuitively distinguishes between one and more than one, and easily learns to add and subtract small numbers before he/she learns to read.

Addition and Subtraction, which are the converse of each other, are given in immediate connection; so also are Multiplication and Division. Each combination is thus presented in a variety of forms and may be fully committed to memory without wearying the learner.

Every lesson is accompanied by exercises and illustrations. In the exercises all the elementary combinations are arranged progressively, and repeated many times; if the pupil becomes accurate and quick in these, he/she will acquire the basic operations of math.

Many teachers, of great ability and experience in the department of primary instruction, have kindly lent their aid to render the information in this book attractive, thorough, and practical.

Originally published in 1867, it has been republished because the methods in this book are timeless and it will give a child the ability to use a "text book" from our history, therefore engaging him/her in living history.
