Dimensions: 7.8in. x 5.1in. x 0.1in.Floor Games is a short story by H. G. Wells. H. G. Wells had so much fun playing with his children on the floor of their playroom, he decided to write a jovial little book to inspire other parents in their pursuit of quality time with the kids. While the raw materials available from hobby stores of his day were woefully short of the variety and quality of what can be bought easily now, he and his sons created their own worlds to rule. This short work describes two games of imagination played out upon the floor of his home - an archipelago of islands, and a thoroughly integrated city, conveniently organized with two mayoral positions for his sons G. P. W. and F. R. W. While the toy people appearing in their worlds were oen of martial nature, Wells decided to leave description of military games to a later book: Little Wars. Herbert George H. G. Wells (21 September 1866 13 August 1946) was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is sometimes called The Father of Science Fiction, as are Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. His most notable science fiction works include The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Wellss earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often...

Architectural Toys The construction of an education Marco Ginoulhiac Italian architect living in Portugal and lecturing at FAUP - Faculdade de Ar- quitectura da Universidade do Porto. Abstract Towards the end of the XIXth century and the beginning of the XXth century, the toy market created a number of toys based on an emerging educational method under- lined by a constructivist approach. Indeed, both in Europe and United States, many companies were inspired by what was happening, almost at the same time, in sev- eral schools of Art and Architecture, in which the design studio teaching was based on an “atelier” system and pupils developed skills and autonomy through their own action. The paradigm of practice based on task simulation, either scien- tific or artistic, is still clearly visible in a number of toys which promoted skills development through playing.

A hawknosed young man with a pointing finger was prominent. His face worked violently, his lips moved very rapidly, but what he said was inaudible. Behind him the little rufous man with the big eyes twitched at his robe and offered suggestions. And behind these two clustered a great multitude of heated, excited, swarthy faces.... The emperor sat on his golden throne in the midst of the gathering, commanding silence by gestures, speaking inaudibly to them in a tongue the majority did not use, and then prevailing. They ceased their interruptions, and the old man, Arius, took up the debate. For a time all those impassioned faces were intent upon him; they listened as though they sought occasion, and suddenly as if by a preconcerted arrangement they were all thrusting their fingers into their ears and knitting their brows in assumed horror; some were crying aloud and making as if to fly. Some indeed tucked up their garments and fled. They spread out into a pattern. They were like the little monks who run from St.

The Wells Circle
The Wells Circle Arnim, Elizabeth von (1866-1941), novelist. Chiefly remembered today for Elizabeth and her German Garden (1898), she met HGW in late 1910 and began an affair with him which continued until 1912. His nickname for her was 'Little e'. In 1916 she married John Francis Russell, brother of Bertrand Russell, and continued to write novels, including Vera (1921) and The En chanted April (1923). She is portrayed as 'Mrs Harrowdean' in HGW' s novel Mr Britling Sees It Through. Bagnold, Enid (1889-1981 ), novelist and playwright. She and HGW met in 1916 and began a lifelong friendship. She served as a nurse in the First World War and wrote an account of her experiences, Diary Without Dates (1917). Her most well known work is the novel National Velvet (1935). Barrie, Sir James Matthew (1860-1937), novelist and playwright. The author of a number of successful novels, including A Window in Thrums, Margaret Ogilvy and Sentimental Tommy, Barrie met HGW in 1898 and the two began a lifelong friendship. It was Barrie's When a Man's Single (1888) which provided HGW with the inspiration to write articles on everyday topics instead of philosophical ideas and thus helped to launch him on his lit erary career (cf. Experiment in Autobiography, pp. 371-4). Baxter, William (1860-1934), local historian. HGW and Baxter's wife were fellow pupils at Mrs Knott's dame school in Bromley. Baxter later became a respected local historian, writing numerous articles on Bromley. He wrote a 32-page manuscript on HGW, now deposited at Bromley Library, and frequently wrote to HGW requesting biographical information.

G. Wells (1866-1946). Esta abordagem envolve, por um lado, as questões usuais que acompanham o trabalho do historiador, como por exemplo, sua concepção e diálogo com as fontes, temas preferenciais, filiação intelectual e recortes temáticos, mas especialmente a identificação de uma determinada concepção de tempo que se presume universal e o entendimento do papel da história em sua proposta de reforma social.
