Although this fine book was meant orginaly for boys to build something beyond a scrap lumber club house, or create something more interesting out of a pile of loose brush, than a child's imagined fort, the wisdom is ageless for all to apply as a survival skill, or a temporary refuge. This is a practical, hands-on guide by one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America and a joy to read.Over 332 illustrations and clear, easy-to-follow text make this an invaluable book.

The purpose of the present volume differs from that of those which have preceded it in the following respect: It is essentially a book for the use of readers who desire to make as much a success of their vacation as possible, to know how to meet and overcome difficulties in the simplest way. It is even more extended in its purpose, for it exploits a number of schemes for the benefit of those who have permanent camps or dwellings in field and forest; also for those whose sphere of adventure takes them into the untrodden wilderness. The matter, except where it is expressly stated otherwise, is entirely new and original, and, as the author believes, will prove practically very useful to those for whom the book is designed. The diagrams and their explanations have been made whit great care, so as to render them as easily intelligible and as unambiguous. This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published 1906.

Each summer, millions of children complain, "There's nothing to do." Originally published in 1888, The American Boy's Handy Book resoundingly challenges this age-old dilemma by providing a huge number of ideas for fun and instructional projects for young boys. Everything from camping and kite building to raising dogs and building boats is detailed for the would-be adventurer and do-it your-selfer.

An award-winning performer, writer, and motivational speaker shows you how to discover your unlimited potential and use your inner strength to triumph over any obstacle. Based on his powerful, true journey from a childhood rife with poverty, incarceration, addiction, and rage, to the successful adult life he achieved, Daniel Beaty presents the tools you need to overcome adversity and achieve greatness. By outlining an alternative mode of thinking, especially for the modern African American man bombarded by negative stereotypes in the media, Beaty empowers the individual and encourages readers of all backgrounds to learn from their cultural and family heritage while forgiving and letting go of the negative, so that only the positive remains.Beaty’s story, supported by deeply personal advice from notable mentors such as Leontyne Price, Sidney Poitier, Ossie Davis, and Ruby Dee, serves as a strong reminder that success is ultimately possible not in spite of struggles but as a result of lessons learned and power drawn from those lessons.
