Originally published in 1890, this is the classic indictment of slum life, written by one of the most famous reformers of the nineteenth century. 'How the Other Half Lives: Studies Among the Tenements of New York' explained not only the living conditions in New York slums, but also in the sweatshops in some tenements which paid workers only a few cents a day. The book explains the plight of working children; they would work in factories and at other jobs.
'Amateur weather forecasters (which includes just about everyone) will find this volume an informative and entertaining account of the why and how of the weather.' — The Nation In simple language, Eric Sloane explains the whys and wherefores of weather and weather forecasting — and does it in a style that's universally appealing. With humor and common sense shining through in a book that's also lively and informative, Sloane shows readers how to predict the weather by 'reading' such natural phenomena as winds, skies, and animal sounds. This beautifully illustrated and practical treasure trove of climate lore will enlighten outdoorsmen, farmers, sailors, and anyone else who has ever wondered what a large halo around the moon means, why birds 'sit it out' before a storm, and whether or not to take an umbrella when leaving the house.
Description: Pirandello began writing it in 1909. In an autobiographical letter, published in 1924, the author refers to this work as the '[B]itterest of all, profoundly humoristic, about the decomposition of life.' Vitangelo, the protagonist, discovers by way of a completely irrelevant question that his wife poses to him that everyone he knows and everyone he has ever met has constructed a Vitangelo persona in their own imagination and that none of these personas corresponds to the image of Vitangelo that he himself has constructed and believes himself to be. The listener is immediately immersed in a cruel game of confusing projections, mirroring the reality of social existence itself, which imperiously dictate their rules. As a result, the first, ironic 'awareness' of Vitangelo consists in the knowledge of that which he definitely is not; the preliminary operation must therefore consist in the spiteful destruction of all of these fictitious masks.
