410 pages. Index. Reproductions of black and white photos. Printed upon glossy stock. "The essays make the case that historically many advances and discoveries regarding metals and ceramics came about through aesthetic curiosity and the desire to improve works of fine and decorative art, rather than through scientific investigation or in response to the need for products having practical utility. Other essays deal with the emerging understanding of the remarkable properties of steel, the positive uses of corrosion, ancient casting and molding techniques, and the connection between attempts to reproduce oriental porcelain in Europe and modern geological ideas. Still others are more philosophical in approach." - from dust jacket. Includes bibliography of the author's works. Average wear to unmarked book. Binding intact.

272 pages including glossary. Occasional black and white illustrations. "The literature in the readers of the lower grades must be largely that of the nursery tale and fairy lore, but when the children have reached the middle period of their public school course - in the Third Reader - they may be introduced with profit to more mature forms of literature, and acquire at an early age a taste for reading good books... A careful reading of properly chosen selections cannot fail to extend the knowledge of the pupils as well as to improve their taste and to develop their power of expression... The highest aim of all good teaching is the development of character, and the selections for practice in oral reading should illustrate the virtues in which the children should be established - the virtues that make for material success, and those especially that form and strengthen right principles of conduct and life." - from the preface. Contains primarily selections drawn from the works of writers in Britain with input from some of Canada's best known writers. Prescribed for use in the schools of British Columbia.
