Michiko or Mrs.Belmont's Brownstone on Brooklyn Heights
by Clay LancasterMICHIKO is a little Japanese girl who, all alone, makes the long journey from a small country village in Japan to her new home and life in Brooklyn Heights.This is how Clay Lancaster's delightful picture-story for young readers begins. And before it ends, Michiko and her readers share many experiences-some happy, some sad, some surprising, and some just funny-as Michiko learns how life is lived in America.Immediately Michiko learns that Japan and America are quite different-New York's tall buildings, her new house (an old brownstone), her new guardian (Mrs. Belmont), and even American food are things she must get used to.At times Michiko finds herself frightened, or excited, or just plain bewildered about things like school, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Through Michiko, readers get the wonderful experience of rediscovering those American customs and traditions so often overlooked or taken for granted. Besides the typically American scenes and events, Michiko and her classmates also share a delightful surprise in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.Above all, Michiko's readers will see those human values of warmth, kindness, and generosity which every person in the world holds in common.

Colonial Empires
by FieldhouseThe character and style of this book were largely dictated by two circumstances. First, because it is one volume of an integrated series - the Fischer Weltgeschichte - its length is strictly limited and the subject-matter has to be related to that of other volumes. As a result, the treatment of most issues is necessarily very brief and the balance between different colonies and periods of time does not always reflect their intrinsic importance

Here Dr. Hurlbut retells this story in an objective, concise, and clear style, emphasizing the spirit of the church, its growth and maturation, and the causes leading to historic events and their resulting influence. Accurate, up-to-date, and vividly presented, Hurlbut's Story of the Christian Church traces the six general periods of church history from A. D. 30 to the present day. A concluding section, covering the period since Dr. Hurlbut's death, has been added in this revised edition, thus giving the reader a complete, easily understood overview of the Christian church.

Hall Of Fame
by EDITED BY DAVID HORSBURGH Notes exercises by MEERA SHENOYStudents who come to the PUC classes of our Universities, if they are to make the rapid improvement in English which so many academic disciplines of today demand, need plenty of reading material. Such material should be written with two-main aims: it should be interesting, and it should be comprehensible. This book has been produced to provide such material. The book contains short accounts of the lives or episodes from the lives, of seven men and one woman who, by their qualities of mind and heart, have presented an imperishable example of what man is capable of in terms of the great human values. Of the men, two are from India and one each from Greece, Germany, France, Russia and America; and the woman is probably the greatest that France has ever produced. Unfortunately the lives of great men are often presented as a series of dull facts. This book tries to avoid dullness and to create for the reader, through conversation and dramatised anecdote, the essential flavour of their greatness.
Introduction To Commutative Algebra
by Michael Atiyah I. G. MacdonaldThis book grew out of a course of lectures given to third year undergraduates at Oxford University and it has the modest aim of producing a rapid introduction to the subject. It is designed to be read by students who have had a first elementary course in general algebra. On the other hand, it is not intended as a substitute for the more voluminous tracts such as Zariski-Samuel or Bourbaki. We have concentrated on certain central topics, and large areas, such as field theory, are not touched. In content we cover rather more ground than Northcott and our treatment is substantially different in that, following the modern trend, we put more emphasis on modules and localization.
