of 1938, producer Dan Golenpaul had a fresh idea: why not allow the much-quizzed listeners to ask questions of the experts? This simple concept became the basis for "Information Please," a long-running and winning series that brought wit, style, and good-natured bantering into the homes of America for over a decade. Featuring host Clifton Fadiman, announcer Milton Cross, and a regular group of panelists that included Franklin P. Adams, John Kieran, and Oscar Levant, "Information Please" remains one of the most erudite, witty, and consistently entertaining quiz programs ever to hit the airwavesKid presidents: true tales of childhood from America's presidents (KID LEGENDS)
Par David Stabler. 2019
Every president started out as a kid! Forget the legends, tall tales, and historic achievements-before they were presidents, the future…
leaders of the United States had regular-kid problems just like you. John F. Kennedy hated his big brother. Lyndon Johnson pulled pranks in class. Barack Obama was bothered by bullies. And Bill Clinton was crazy clumsy (he once broke his leg jumping rope). Kid Presidents tells all of their stories and more in these hilarious biographies. History has never been this much fun!Dancing hands: how Teresa Carreño played the piano for President Lincoln
Par Margarita Engle. 2019
As a little girl, Teresa Carreño loved to let her hands dance across the beautiful keys of the piano. If…
she felt sad, music cheered her up, and when she was happy, the piano helped her share that joy. Soon she was writing her own songs and performing in grand cathedrals. Then a revolution in Venezuela forced her family to flee to the United States. Teresa felt lonely in this unfamiliar place, where few of the people she met spoke Spanish. Worst of all, there was fighting in her new home, too-the Civil War. Still, Teresa kept playing, and soon she grew famous as the talented Piano Girl who could play anything from a folk song to a sonata-so famous, in fact, that President Abraham Lincoln wanted her to play at the White House! Yet with the country torn apart by war, could Teresa's music bring comfort to those who needed it most?Franklin D. Roosevelt (MAKING OF AMERICA #bk. 5)

Roosevelt (1882-1945) won a record four presidential elections and is the longest-serving US president. During his time in office, he led the country through the Great Depression and World War II.

tout le continent. We the people of the United States, disait la déclaration d'indépendance des États-Unis de 1783. We are America, diront les Américains moins d'un siècle plus tard. Quelle a été l'influence de l'expédition de Lewis et Clark qui s'est déroulée de 1804 à 1806? Par une succession de brefs regards qui sont autant de courtes histoires, le lecteur sera entraîné dans un survol original qui le conduit à cette manifest destiny, quasi de droit divin, si chère aux Américains. À partir de l'acquisition du territoire de la Louisiane en 1803, le rouleau compresseur se met en branle. Britanniques et Espagnols sont repoussés, Canadiens et Mexicains sont évacués, les Indiens sont écrasés, anéantis. [...] -- 4e de couvLittle Leaders: Bold Women In Black History (Vashti Harrison)

Par Sasha Chapin. 2019
An enthralling journey into the world of chess—a story of heartbreak, obsession, failure, and the hunger for greatness Sasha Chapin…
is a victim of chess. Like countless amateurs before him—Albert Einstein, Humphrey Bogart, Marcel Duchamp—the game has consumed his life and his mind. First captivated by it as a member of his high school chess club, his passion was rekindled during an accidental encounter with chess hustlers on the streets of Kathmandu. In its aftermath, he forgot how to care about anything else. He played at all hours, for weeks at a time. Like a spurned lover, he tried to move on, but he found the game more seductive the more he resisted it. And so, he thought, if he can't defeat his obsession, he had to succumb to it. All the Wrong Moves traces Chapin's rollicking two-year journey around the globe in search of glory. Along the way, he chronicles the highs and lows of his fixation, driven on this quest by lust, terror, and the elusive possibility of victory. Stylish, inventive, and laugh-out-loud funny, All the Wrong Moves is a celebration of the purity, violence, and beauty of the gameCoach your readers into the sky with a few basic paper folds and a side of science.
