This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Lessons in Geography and Astronomy on the Globes: Supplementary to the Textbooks Generally Used on These SubjectsPupils, whose minds have been well disciplined by the study of the pure mathematics, may possibly dispense with the use of the globes in the study of Geography and Astron omy. But for the great majority of pupils in our common schools and academies, whose minds are not, and are not expected to be, thus thoroughly prepared and furnished, the use of the globes seems to be indispensable. And even for students in our colleges, Professor Olmsted says, The study of artificial globes cannot be too strongly recommend ed to the student of astronomy. Such being the case, it is surprising that these good old-fashioned implements of leam ing are not more generally introduced into our schools than they are, and, where they are introduced, that their useful ness is not more highly appreciated or made available.One cause of this unmerited neglect of the globes is thought to be the want of a concise and suitable text-book to be used by the pupil along with the globes. The old trea tises on the globes are too large and expensive and encum bered with extraneous matter for the present necessity and especially are they objectionable for the empirical and dogmatical form in which they present the truths and prob lems which they teach. All science, properly so called, is but the development of certain fundamental ideas or princi ples; and no science is properly taught or understood ex cept by a development of its first principles, - its details must be seen by the light of its fundamental ideas. This is true of Geography and Astronomy, wherein the principles and doctrines of pure geometry constitute the light by which alone a scientific knowledge of these branches of learning can be obtained.These same special objections to the old treatises on the globes lie with equal or greater force against abridgments of them and compilations from them; and they furnish a sufficient reason, why the attempts of this sort which have been made have not been acceptable in our schools.Accordingly, the small volume herewith presented to the schools of our land is an original work. In its plan and preparation, the aim has been to direct attention to actual phenomena as seen on the earth or in the heavens, to illus trate these by means of the artificial globes, and, throughout the whole, to show the principles on which the science and its problems are founded.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The life and death of Jack Fleming through his battle with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain cancer as told by his father, Ken. This is the story of a very brave young man. I was with him when he took his first breath and I was with him when he took his last. One was a moment of exquisite pleasure and the other was a moment of unimaginable pain. He gave life, and particularly the last two years struggling with terminal brain cancer, his best shot. He never stopped smiling; never gave up; never said no more. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain cancer on a cold, wet and wintry 8 July 2016. He was given 12 months to live. We got 22 months. In December 2017 we found out that none of the treatments were working and he was unlikely to live much longer. On 28 March 2018, we were told it was all over. He died at 1.45 pm on 15 April 2018. I promised him I would write a book. I kept my promise. — Ken Fleming - JACK EVAN FLEMING 25 November 1996 – 15 April 2018 RIPPraise for Jack's Story “Jack’s Story is gripping and confronting. Well done for having the courage to write it and get it out there in the public space. I'm sure many other families and health professionals will benefit from reading this book. It was a real tribute to Jack...and also demonstrated you're didn't leave a stone unturned in trying to find a solution to this aggressive cancer.” Dr Nick Cooling“Thank you for sharing Jack’s Story. I’m deeply sorry to hear about your son’s journey with cancer. As you know glioblastoma cancer has touched my life and those that I love dearly. I can only imagine how difficult this process is for you and your family. It sounds like Jack was surrounded with support and indeed possessed courage at its best. I know that the grieving process never quite ends, but in due time, the thought of your son will bring a smile to your lips sooner than a tear to your eye. Our sons gave us so much more than they knew, so much for us to cherish. Our memories of them will always be with us. Please know that Jill and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We’re in this with you. God Bless you.” Joseph R. Biden. Jr.“I would like to give my condolences to your family as no family should have to go through what your family endured. Taking the pain from your son’s story and turning it into a moving and beautifully honest book takes a lot of courage. I appreciate the bravery it took to write this book about what it is really like inside a life with glioblastoma multiforme.” Senator John McCain“I read Jack’s story in one night …couldn’t put it down … and despite knowing how it all ended, I was willing there to be a twist and turn on each page that would see a miracle happen. What a truly incredible story of hope, love, courage and ultimate tragedy.” Katie Murray“I’m so sorry that despite all the expert advice and treatment he received that no more could be done to save him. It is stories like these, and patients like Jack, that drive us to continue our work and research and clinical trials to try to find new and better treatments to counter this awful disease. Let’s hope we can make some more break throughs in memory of all the children and young adults like Jack.” Dr David Ziegler
