Fame did not interest Lucretia Garfield, wife of our twentieth President. In 1882, and again in 1887, she was invited to have her biography included in books about distinguished or famous American women. She refused in both cases stating that she was not distinguished. The story of James A Garfield's spectacular rise to the presidency of the United States has been told many times. But the forceful influence of his wife, Lucretia, has received little attention. So successful was she in staying out of the public eye that her name gradually vanished from sight. This new book explores the life of this accomplished and fascinating woman.

This bibliography gleans a comprehensive study of the late 19th century woman through both her status as an unsolicited political figure and her social contributions. Between both tenures of her husband's Presidency to her re-marriage and ardent involvement in the National Security League and Needlework Guild, Frances Cleveland transformed the persona of how the modern woman was viewed for the following century. Particular detail is given as to how she transformed the White House and socio-political landscape of her time with a forethought toward the future.

Citizen science programs encourage the general public to help professional scientists to collect data for research studies through training protocol. Most recently, there has been an increase in adolescent student participation in citizen science programs. With the advent of citizen science as an educational platform, researchers have studied the ways this type of initiative influences interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This interdisciplinary edited book entitled Enhancing STEM Motivation through Citizen Science Programs merges research findings, theoretical understandings, and practical applications from the fields of citizen science and educational psychology. The work outlines effective components of citizen science initiatives for both formal and informal educational settings, which promote STEM motivation among youth. Specifically, the chapters describe effective components of citizen science programs, curricula guidelines for K-12 and post-secondary courses, research findings on the impact of citizen science programs for student self-motivational beliefs, achievement, and STEM motivation, as well as guidelines for evaluating citizen science programs. The overarching goal of this work is to encourage partnerships between educators, administrators, students, scientists, naturalists, and stakeholders interested in fostering student motivation in STEM areas through citizen science programs. This edited book is suitable for educators interested in providing students with opportunities to participate in citizen science as well as researchers of education, science, and educational psychology.

Recent interest in the wives of American Presidents has led to the rediscovery of many First Ladies whose public service and accomplishments had been forgotten. The prime example is Lou Henry Hoover, a vivacious woman with a thoroughly modern approach to life, an unquenchable zest for living, and a long-term dedication to public service that dated from the Spanish-American War. Lou Henry Hoover: A Prototype for First Ladies provides readers with their first in-depth examination of the adventure-filled life and numerous public services of this complex and fascinating First Lady. Readers will wonder how Lou Hoover could have become a forgotten First Lady when they discover references to her zest for living and extensive public service activities in contemporary newspaper accounts and letters. The reason for the obscure knowledge about this First Lady is there was no access to her papers, and historians also had tended to dismiss Mrs. Hoover as an aloof and uncaring First Lady who lacked purpose, mission, or audience. The fog began to lift when her personal and public papers became available to historians in 1985.
