Books with author Mitchell S Weir

Excerpt from In War TimeIn the latter part of the afternoon of a summer day in the year 1863, a little crowd gathered near the door of the military hospital on Filbert Street, in the city of Philadelphia. Like the rest of the vast camps of the sick, which added in those days to the city population some twenty-five thousand of the maimed and ill, this one has been lost, in the healing changes with which civilizing progress, no less quickly than forgiving nature, is apt to cover the traces of war.The incident which drew to the hospital gate a small crowd was common in those days. Ambulances were bringing to its portal a share of such wounded men as were fit to be removed to a distance from Gettysburg and distributed among the great hospitals of the North. A surgeon in green sash and undress army uniform stood bareheaded within the shade of the doorway.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Book Education refers to the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. This can involve storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and research that is directed by a teacher. While education is generally guided educators (teachers), students may also educate themselves (i.e. self taught). The science of teaching is called pedagogy, with its stages often including: preschool (kindergarten), primary school, secondary school (and possibly college), university, or apprenticeship to a master tradesman. Also in this Book Science is a systematic enterprise that builds knowledge through formulating testable hypothese and predictions about the physical universe. Its earliest roots of science can be traced to Ancient Egypt, India and Mesopotamia in around 3500 to 3000 BC. Scientific fields may be divided into: natural sciences, which examine natural phenomena including biological lifeforms, and social sciences, which analyze human behavior and societies. Both are empirical sciences. Disciplines that may be termed interdisciplinary applied sciences include engineering and medicine. Mathematics, which is formally classified as a science, exhibits similarities and differences to empirical sciences.And in this Book Research is undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge, and the use of that knowledge to improve performance or undertake new activity. Research is used to establish new hypothese or test established hypotheses.
