The Cairn Terrier (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic)

By: Florence M. Ross

Originally published in 1925, this extremely rare early work on the Cairn Terrier is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The author was a highly respected breeder of the day. The book's 110 pages cover all aspects of the Cairn Terrier. Beginning with the history of the breed, it moves on to discuss buying, breeding, feeding and showing amongst many other topics. There is an interesting chapter on "The inter-breeding of Cairn and West Highland White Terriers" and Baroness Burton (a noted breeder, exhibitor and judge of the day) contributes 2 chapters - "Present-Day Cairns" and "The Show Cairn". There is also a "Standard description of the correct appearance and scale of points" and a host of excellent photos of famous dogs of the day. This is a fascinating read for any Cairn Terrier enthusiast or historian of the breed and also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. CONTENTS INCLUDE: - ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY - PROGRESS AND DELINEATION - CLUBS AND THE STANDARD OF POINTS - PRESENT-DAY CAIRNS - THE SHOW CAIRN - INTERBREEDING OF CAIRN AND WEST HIGHLAND WHITE TERRIERS - HOW TO FORM A KENNEL - SELECTION OF STUD DOG AND MANAGEMENT OF BROOD BITCHES AND PUPPIES - HOUSING, REARING, FEEDING AND EXERCISING - SELECTION OF PUPPIES, CARE OF COAT AND PREPARATION FOR SHOWS, WITH HINTS ON RING CRAFT - SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS OF COMMON AILMENTS

Women and the Miners' Strike, 1984-1985

By: Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite,Natalie Thomlinson

Just days into the miners' strike of 1984-1985, a few women in coalfield communities around Britain began to meet to consider how they could support the strike, a clash with the Thatcher government over the future of the coal industry. Women ultimately formed a national network of groups that some observers saw as an 'alternative welfare state', helping to keep the strike going for just under a year. This book is the first study of this national movement, illuminating its achievements, but also telling the less well-known story of arguments and divisions with men in the National Union of Mineworkers and feminists in the women's liberation movement. Many women in the movement, despite their activism, resolutely denied that they were 'political' at all, defining themselves as 'ordinary' women, housewives, mothers, and workers; and, despite some claims that women activists had been transformed for ever by their experiences, most of those involved felt they had been changed only in more subtle ways. Women and the Miners' Strike is also the first to look beyond the activists to study the experiences of the majority of women in mining families who did not get involved in activism. Some of these women supported the strike by going out to work themselves to keep their families going; others supported their menfolk with practical and emotional support in the home. A large number were ambivalent about the dispute, even though the experiences of women whose husbands or fathers worked through the strike, or returned to work early, have generally been almost entirely obscured within popular memory. This book therefore also demonstrates how some women whose husbands broke the strike refashioned concepts like democracy and community to justify their actions, and how some even formed their own support groups to aid other women in their communities who found themselves under fire for opposing the strike. Through examining the stories of more than 100 women and their varied experiences during the strike, the book sheds new light on working-class women's relationship to the 'political' and the 'ordinary', and demonstrates the ways in which gender roles, working-class lifestyles, and coalfield communities changed in Britain over the post-war period.

Microcomputers in special education

selection and decision making process

By: Florence M. Taber

Intended for special educators, the book is designed to provide information for assessing classroom needs, making decisions about purchasing software and hardware, and using the microcomputer effectively. Each chapter begins with statements to think about and a list of sources. At the end of each chapter are questions and exercises designed to aid the reader in understanding chapter information. Six chapters cover the following topics (sample subtopics are in parentheses): introduction to the microcomputer (microcomputer languages); software considerations and evaluation (external and internal evaluation of software); hardware considerations and inservice education (peripherals); media selection and microcomputer uses (administrative uses); microcomputer uses in special education; and elementary programing for the microcomputer (program development support).
