"MOURON, Marcia. You Can I Can: You Don't Have to be an "I CAN'T"! www.stopcanting.com 4to., (8 x 8 inches). Illustrated throughout by Ernie Eldredge. Original illustrated paper boards. AS NEW. My I CAN philosophy is if I catch myself thinking something sounds fun and I try it. I have got to say life really has been an amazing adventure following this philosophy. First edition, first printing. Very young children are amazing little beings, always investigating and trying new things. THEN I Can't thinking creeps in when they begin to register that some of the things they are trying are kind of hard to do. NEXT comes saying "I Can't do it." This I Can't thinking just limits them so much. Since many new things are hard at first, saying, "I Can't" quickly becomes a habit. Children may say "I Can't" even while they are actually trying. Lack of immediate success only reinforces the I Can't thinking. By the end of the book they will see they are an I CAN just waiting to be! With rhyme, YOU CAN I CAN speaks about fun things to do and demonstrates that saying "I Can't" means missing out on that fun. Moreover, from the very start one can ALWAYS be an I CAN that tries! Finally, the end of the book reveals the secret of how to go from being an I Can't to an I CAN! YOU CAN I CAN actually speaks to anyone, any age, who lets I Can't thinking limit how amazing one's life can be. All of the I CAN's and I Can'ts in the book came about from a casual discussion. One day I spoke with a friend who was taking a challenge.pick something that you have wanted to do and always thought that you couldn't. Then give yourself three months of trying to get it done. Thinking that idea seemed fun, I continued to play with it. The next morning over breakfast, it flashed through my mind, "Well, if I were to choose, I always wanted to write a children's book." What do you think the next words that flashed into my mind were?."but I Can't do that." That morning the I Can'ts and I CAN's were born. It has been so much fun. At each step along the way another member of the I CAN Team was added. These dear people have encouraged and supported me offering their time and talent. They helped turn this I Can't of a book into an I CAN. Ok, I admit, it did take longer than three months! Thank you for your interest, Marcia Mouron, www.stopcanting.com Marcia grew up in Birmingham, Alabama and graduated college in Elementary Education. She has always loved relating to young children, especially seeing their world written on their faces. Being a timid young child herself, she was only too aware of how much fun you miss out on by being worried about not being able to do things or to do them well. She has built her adult life around the philosophy of I CAN. One of the main points of the book is for children to understand, "I m an I CAN cuz I TRY"! and during the course of her life she has found it important to not fear for others to see her TRY, an extraordinary range of creative and constructive activities: Art, exhibiting both collage and acrylic paintings; Ballroom dancing, and entered a competition; Sculpture; Scuba diving; Bee-keeping; Creating a farm full of perennials, fruit trees, wildflowers and friends; Orchestrating retreat days at the farm for people wishing a getaway; Travelling abroad the first time alone; Keeping a blog, Nature Whispers, inspired by her love nature, which she records with photographs; Hiking; Camping; AND, accepting the personal challenge to write a children s book".

"Redoute is widely considered to have been the one of the best botanical illustrators; he had not only a breathtaking skill at translating the natural world onto paper but also strove to improve printing technology (he introduced ""stipple-engraving"" to France). His contributions to the art of botanical illustration are unequalled; in fact, the complete set of original volumes of Les Liliacees is highly prized -- its current value is approximately $400,000. For considerably less, you can have all of Redoute's 486 lilies, beautifully reproduced on thick, creamy paper. Flipping through, you'll be transported to the magical world of 19th-century botany. A pure delight.".

Though we might list the explorers who pushed west across America through the centuries -- Daniel Boone, Kit Carson, Lewis and Clark -- the hunger for the wildness of the frontier was fed foremost by artists. It is the portraits of Catlin and Bodmer, the landscapes of Bierstadt, the hunts of Alfred Jacob Miller that kindled the ardor for expansion. Tyler proceeds chronologically and geographically, from settlement in the northeast to expansion south and finally the great campaigns west to the Pacific.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2011. Quarto. Near Fine. "Observation is the most pervasive and fundamental practice of all the modern sciences, both natural and human. Its instruments include not only the naked senses but also tools such as the telescope and microscope, the questionnaire, the photographic plate, the notebook, the glassed-in beehive, and myriad other ingenious inventions designed to make the invisible visible, the evanescent permanent, the abstract concrete. Yet observation has almost never been considered as an object of historical inquiry in itself. This wide-ranging collection offers the first examination of the history of scientific observation in its own right, as both epistemic category and scientific practice. Histories of Scientific Observation features engaging episodes drawn from across the spectrum of the natural and human sciences, ranging from meteorology, medicine, and natural history to economics, astronomy, and psychology. The contributions spotlight how observers have scrutinized everything from seaweed to X-ray radiation, household budgets to the emotions with ingenuity, curiosity, and perseverance verging on obsession. This book makes a compelling case for the significance of the long, surprising, and epistemologically significant history of scientific observation, a history full of innovations that have enlarged the possibilities of perception, judgment, and reason."

Most arguments for a rediscovery of the body and the senses hinge on a critique of visualism in our globalized, technified society. This approach has led to a lack of actual research on the processes of visual enskillment. Providing a comprehensive spectrum of case studies in relevant contexts, this volume raises the issue of the rehabilitation of vision and contextualizes vision in the contemporary debate on the construction of local knowledge vs. the hegemony of the socio-technical network. By maintaining an ethnographic approach, the book provides practical examples that are both accessible to undergraduate students and informative for an academic audience.
