Books with author William Harvey

This informal text, accompanied by more than 400 cartoon-style illustrations, is designed to teach the basics of practical conversational Spanish to all family members, with special focus on instructing younger children. The book recounts a typical day in children's lives, starting as they wake up in the morning and concluding at their bedtime. The illustrations on every page reinforce vocabulary retention and clarify word meanings. Boys and girls pick up new words, phrases, and language skills as they follow a day's events, starting in their bedrooms (toys, clothing, numbers) and moving through the house (names of family members, rooms, furniture). In the kitchen they learn Spanish words for appliances and food. Once outside, they walk along the street and pick up words for workers, cars, trucks, buses, and more. At school they learn Spanish words for objects in the playground and inside the classroom. Back home again and ready for dinner, they learn more Spanish words until bedtime. This new second edition includes expanded vocabulary and replaces the first edition's 90-minute audiocassette with two enclosed audio CDs. The compact discs complement the book's story line and familiarize kids with the sound of spoken Spanish in conversational settings. Here is a handy language program for self-learning at home, or for use as a supplement to classroom instruction.

Updated, and with audio compact discs to replace the old audiocassette tapes, this language-learning book-and-audio program is an informal, user-friendly Spanish course. It is specifically designed for non-Spanish speakers who need to learn fundamental words and expressions in Spanish in order to communicate with Latino employees in the household or workplace. This new edition keeps up with current social trends, taking into account the increasing frequency in which Anglos and Spanish-speakers converse not only as employers and employees, but also as co-workers. Rather than emphasize dry rules of grammar, author William Harvey teaches informal, idiomatic conversational Spanish. Both the book and the compact discs recreate typical scenes in household or workplace with appropriate dialogue passages. The compact discs, which may be used independently of the book, can also be purchased as a separate item.

This book is a thorough introduction to climate science and global change. The author is a geologist who has spent much of his life investigating the climate of Earth from a time when it was warm and dinosaurs roamed the land, to today's changing climate. Bill Hay takes you on a journey to understand how the climate system works. He explores how humans are unintentionally conducting a grand uncontrolled experiment which is leading to unanticipated changes. We follow the twisting path of seemingly unrelated discoveries in physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and even mathematics to learn how they led to our present knowledge of how our planet works. He explains why the weather is becoming increasingly chaotic as our planet warms at a rate far faster than at any time in its geologic past. He speculates on possible future outcomes, and suggests that nature itself may make some unexpected course corrections. Although the book is written for the layman with little knowledge of science or mathematics, it includes information from many diverse fields to provide even those actively working in the field of climatology with a broader view of this developing drama. Experimenting on a Small Planet is a must read for anyone having more than a casual interest in global warming and climate change - one of the most important and challenging issues of our time. This new edition includes actual data from climate science into 2014. Numerous powerpoint slides allow lecturers and teachers to more effectively use the book as a basis for climate change education.

"Faithful and Fearless: Major Howard Egan - Early Mormonism and the Pioneering of the American West" is the first scholarly biography to be published on one of the great frontiersman of the American West, Major Howard Egan. Written by award-winning historian William G. Hartley, this 619 page book is a well-researched and engaging history of Egan's riveting, often dangerous, exciting, and remarkable life experiences. Hartley goes far beyond a simple biographical sketch of Egan. He brings history alive in this fact-filled story of Egan and the key role he played in the development of early Mormonism and the American West. Known to be fearless and dependable, Egan was not one to shrink from danger or duty and was often called upon by leaders to do what most could not or would not do. His life experiences were wide and varied and he played and held key roles and positions in major historical events during the mid-19th century. An original 1847 Mormon Pioneer, Gold Rush participant, cattle drover, Utah War ammunition supplier and officer, trail blazer, Superintendent of the Overland Mail and Stagecoach, and Pony Express Superintendent and rider, his 63 years of life were "characterized by numerous acts of heroism and many hair-breath escapes." Howard Egan's three journals largely preserved in "Pioneering the West" are vital sources of history of the American West and are widely used by historians today. His impact on the American West is immeasurable. One of his most significant achievements was locating and making usable a vital central trail route from Salt Lake City to California south of the Great Salt Lake. "Egan's Trail," then road, became the major western wing route for the Pony Express and the overland stage coach. Open your copy and get ready to "tag along with Egan while he engages in exciting, dangerous, and dynamic developments in early Mormonism and the early American West." Description by Catherine Sloan Blake, Howard Egan Biography LLC

This brand-new Spanish vocabulary-learning book for children, ages seven through twelve, focuses on the use of verbs as it follows boys and girls through a typical day at home, at school, and at play. Taking an informal, child-friendly approach, author William Harvey places verbs in the context of activities and dialogue, in this way minimizing the use of tense endings lists, and other dreary facts kids would need to memorize. Children learn the use of action words--or verbs--easily and naturally as they live through a day's events, waking up in the morning, having breakfast, walking along a busy street, going to school, enjoying games in the playground, returning home for dinner, and ending their day at bedtime. This title can be used alone to teach Spanish verb usage, or it can serve as a complement to a companion title, Spanish Every Day, which teaches vocabulary by focusing mainly on Spanish nouns. Cartoon-style illustrations throughout.
