Franklin Park

By: Daniel B. Pritchett,Amanda Helen Schmitt

The Treaty of Prairie du Chein, which relocated the Potawatomi Indians and other local tribes west of the Mississippi River, created opportunities for settlement along the Des Plaines River. Several families began to farm on land that they purchased from Claude La Framboise, Alexander Robinson, and the State of Illinois. The totality of this land extended from Irving Park Road to Grand Avenue and west to Mannheim Road. The confluence of the first two railroads constructed in this area after the Civil War attracted a developer named Lesser Franklin. The German immigrant purchased and subdivided four farms and subsequently began the configuration of a village. Franklin Park was incorporated in 1892. The succeeding 50 years, showcased by two world wars and the Great Depression, shaped this town into the fourth-largest industrial community in Illinois, a title it still holds today.

Win Some, Lose Some

G. Mennen Williams and the New Democrats

By: Helen W. Berthelot

Helen Berthelot's memoir, Win Some, Lose Some, tells the story of what happened behind the scenes at a pivotal point in Michigan political history. It's a chronicle of loyalty, devotion, vision, personality, and old-fashioned patriotism. Elected to office of governor in 1948, Democrat Mennen Williams served in that capacity until 1960. Despite opposition in the Republican legislature and resistance from the press, Williams garnered public support and literally built a state government that served the needs of the people. He left a legacy of elementary and secondary schools, college and university buildings, mental hospitals, roads, and bridges, especially his beloved Mackinac Bridge. Far more than a chronicle of Williams' career, Win Some, Lose Some reveals how politics and campaigning have changed —from budgets on a shoestring to multi-million dollar media exercises run by image makers, consultants, and market researchers.

Gender Equality in Primary Schools

Gender Equality in Primary Schools

A Guide for Teachers

By: Helen Griffin

This hands-on guide supports primary teachers and other school staff in challenging gender stereotypes, and sets out advice on how to implement gender equality and respect in the curriculum, and in all areas of school life. An increase in the number of transgender children - and a recognition of gender reassignment as a protected characteristic under the 2010 Equality Act - means that all primary schools need to ensure they are safe environments respectful of all genders. This book draws on the 'Gender Respect Project', which identified the need to address gender stereotyping and gender-based violence with children and young people. The book is full of lesson plans, case studies, clear guidance and recommended actions as well as further reading and resources. Extending beyond awareness of other genders, this book provides a framework for a gender equality approach in the classroom, and empowers children to think critically about gender and to respect themselves and others.

Modern Food, Moral Food

Modern Food, Moral Food

Self-Control, Science, and the Rise of Modern American Eating in the Early Twentieth Century

By: Helen Zoe Veit

American eating changed dramatically in the early twentieth century. As food production became more industrialized, nutritionists, home economists, and so-called racial scientists were all pointing Americans toward a newly scientific approach to diet. Food faddists were rewriting the most basic rules surrounding eating, while reformers were working to reshape the diets of immigrants and the poor. And by the time of World War I, the country's first international aid program was bringing moral advice about food conservation into kitchens around the country. In Modern Food, Moral Food, Helen Zoe Veit argues that the twentieth-century food revolution was fueled by a powerful conviction that Americans had a moral obligation to use self-discipline and reason, rather than taste and tradition, in choosing what to eat. Veit weaves together cultural history and the history of science to bring readers into the strange and complex world of the American Progressive Era. The era's emphasis on science and self-control left a profound mark on American eating, one that remains today in everything from the ubiquity of science-based dietary advice to the tenacious idealization of thinness.
