This nostalgic book takes us back to a simpler time when being with family was the best feeling in the world. The lessons of television's iconic Little House on the Prairie are still being embraced by audiences worldwide, even thirty years after the passing of its creator, lead actor, director, and producer, Michael Landon. Author Alicia Hogan Murphy has comprised a collection of episode segments and cast reflections to honor the brilliance of Michael Landon and emphasize the timeless values and uplifting messages taught by his hit television series. Some of the topics touched on include staying positive, instilling courage in our kids, addressing racism and prejudice, dealing with bullying, being honest with ourselves, discipline, and having selfless concern for others. Earning praise and enthusiasm from cast members, the book offers a much-needed feeling of hope, community, and laughter, much like the show did. It is a refreshing journey into the past that will bring a sense of calm to the reader's present."--Amazon website.
This Is What Democracy Looked Like, the first illustrated history of printed ballot design, illuminates the noble but often flawed process at the heart of our democracy. An exploration and celebration of US ballots from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this visual history reveals unregulated, outlandish, and, at times, absurd designs that reflect the explosive growth and changing face of the voting public. The ballots offer insight into a pivotal time in American history—a period of tectonic shifts in the electoral system—fraught with electoral fraud, disenfranchisement, scams, and skullduggery, as parties printed their own tickets and voters risked their lives going to the polls.
