Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish poet and author celebrated for
his children's stories but perhaps best known for his immortal
Fairy Tales meant for both adults and children and frequently
written in a colloquial style to veil their sophisticated moral
teachings. He broke new ground in terms of style and content by
using idioms and constructions of spoken language in a way that had
previously not been seen in Danish literature. His poetry and
stories have been translated into over 150 languages, inspiring a
wealth of films, plays and ballets. About the Illustrator: Anne
Anderson (1874-c.1940) was a Scottish illustrator chiefly noted for
her Art Nouveau children's book illustrations that display fluidity
typical of the movement. Characteristic of her work are decorative
and lightly drawn or painted illustrations of neatly dressed
children, neatly dressed with pear-shaped faces. Anderson's work
has been compared to that of Jessie M. King, a contemporary.

This book brings together a collection of research-based papers on
current issues in early childhood mathematics education that were
presented in the Topic Study Group 1 (TSG 1) at the 13th
International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13), held at
the University of Hamburg in 2016. It will help readers understand
a range of key issues that early childhood mathematics educators
encounter today. Research on early childhood mathematics education
has grown in recent years, due in part to the well-documented,
positive relation between children's early mathematical knowledge
and their later mathematics learning, and to the considerable
emphasis many countries are now placing on preschool education. The
book addresses a number of central questions, including: What is
mathematical structural development and how can we promote it in
early childhood? How can multimodality and embodiment contribute to
early mathematics learning and to acquiring a better understanding
of young children's mathematical development? How can children's
informal mathematics-related experiences affect instruction and
children's learning in different mathematics content areas? What is
the role of tools, including technology and picture books, in
supporting early mathematics learning? What are the challenges in
early childhood mathematics education for teachers' education and
professional development?

During the past 56 years Mary has either witnessed, been part
of, or has been on the receiving end of abuse. Many of us
experience abuse at one way or another in their lifetime. In fact,
some have become co-dependent during the abuse period for fear of
their life. Others have died and left this type of environment and
are still is the process of healing. Abuse happens at various
levels. The key is to recognize it and act on it no matter what
happens.
As many of us were growing up we have learned through the test
of time that abuse of any kind is wrong and should not be
tolerated. "No Man or Woman should be a victim or an abuser."
"Everyone should be treated equally." The Bible teaches that; "We
should treat others as we would want to be treated."
What you are about to read talks about psychical, psychological,
verbal, and emotional abuse at various levels. Some of the stories
discussed are long term, experienced, and others were witnessed.
There even are times when the parties involved became active
participants and become abusers themselves.
Many of us grew up believing that woman should be subordinate to
men. The Bible also teaches this idea. The difference is there are
no teachings that teach about it being okay to abuse one
another.
The Bible does teach us to; "Love our neighbor as
ourselves."

She won our hearts when she told us she was out to change the
world. But Ann Kiemel Anderson discovered that success can be
addictive, and soon she found that the world had changed her. Ann's
first book in five years, Seduced By Success chronicles two major
battles in her life: combating an addiction to the praise of others
and overcoming an addiction to pain medication for a chronic
illness. Drug-free for the last two years, Ann now shares
heart-to-heart with her readers, saying, "I no longer want power
and glory. God has given me a second chance to be used by Him. With
quiet joy, I prepare to write something beautiful for God."

Long before television and radio commercials beckoned to potential
buyers, the medicine show provided free entertainment and promised
cures for everything from corns to cancer. Combining elements of
the circus, theater, vaudeville, and good old-fashioned
entrepreneurship, the showmen of the American medicine show sold
tonics, ointments, pills, extracts and a host of other
""wonder-cures,"" guaranteed to ""cure what ails you."" While the
cures were seldom miraculous, the medicine show was an important
part of American culture and of performance history. Harry Houdini,
Buster Keaton, and P.T. Barnum all took a turn upon the medicine
show stage. This study of the medicine show phenomenon surveys
nineteenth century popular entertainment and provides insight into
the ways in which show business, advertising, and medicine
manufacture developed in concert. The colorful world of the
medicine show, with its Wild West shows, pie-eating contests,
clowns, and menageries, is fully explored. Photographs of
performers and of the fascinating handbills and posters used to
promote the medicine show are included.
