[COMPLETE] Essays Collection #01 - rap

[msfry]

Oh yes please, I have this 3 titles in mind:

-Clear Shadows (1867)
-Human Forms in Nature: Ernst Haeckel’s Trip to South Asia and Its Aftermath
-Inventing the Recording By Eva Moreda Rodríguez

I found these 3 titles here: https://publicdomainreview.org/

Thanks in advance

It is a bit confusing at first, but Public Domain Review essays are not Public Domain. They just review publications that are PD.

Clear Shadows, for instance, was a magazine published in 1867, compiled mostly of pictures, not an actual essay suitable for this collection.

Human Forms in Nature
Ernst Haeckel’s Trip to South Asia and Its Aftermath
By Bernd Brunner
https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/inventing-the-recording/
This essay was published in 2017. Scanning the text, I discovered this line:
"As he later recalled in his book A Visit to Ceylon, Haeckel planned...".
I looked this book up on Internet Archive, published in 1883, https://archive.org/details/avisittoceylon00haecgoog/page/n8/mode/2up
Sounds interesting, alas, it is not an essay. But this is how we sometimes find PD books to record.

Inventing the Recording
By Eva Moreda Rodríguez
https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/inventing-the-recording/
This essay was published July 12, 2017
As above, you can peruse the essay looking for interesting titles relating to the topic, and maybe find a public domain essay.

Keep looking. You're bound to find something.

Hello again 🖐

This time I found a source that seems to be of PD.

Title: "The Circus, and Other Essays and Fugitive Pieces" by Joyce Kilmer

Link: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/39103 (I downloaded the last option HTML.zip)

In the index, figures the section "The Circus, and other essays" that contains (pardon the redudancy) several essays

2 of them caught my eye : Signs and Symbols and The Great Nickel Adventure( I'll pick one them if they're ok to use)


Thank you

[msfry]

We trust Gutenberg as a source, so anything from this book would be PD, whichever format you choose to read from.

Whether they are actual "essays" or "fugitive pieces" remains to be seen. I'll leave that up to you to decide, as defining what an essay is seems to be a bit of a conundrum.

Ok I see, thank you very much for your help and patience, msfry

Here's an example of a light-hearted essay by Stephen Leacock (if you don't think it fits the tenor of this collection, Michelle, I can adjust the intro/outro and take it to the Short Non-Fiction Collection instead, but I thought perhaps some levity might be ok here).

PL Notes for The Problem of Consciousness

This long file took awhile for me to get through. Had to do it in small gulps. Nothing against your delivery, it just reminded me of my experience PL'ing John Dewey, whose layers upon layers of qualifying remarks I found hard to follow. You did amazingly well with a tedious task, Glenn. Thank you for your contribution. That said, here are some notes:

.27 with reference to that phase of the subject matter, you say phrase
4:59 you say "which in addition were defined by definition", delete "defined"
15:33 is that typified by the usual stimulus-response situation, you say type of
23:18 - 20 Volume leaps up by 8.4 dB over 89dB, recommend de-amplifying -5 to match surrounding text
23:26 - :31 Volume leaps up by 7.7 dB, recommend de-amplifying -4 to match surrounding text
23:40 - 24:11 Volume drops by -2.2 dB, recommend amplifying this segment by +3 to match surrounding text
34:51 In the two fundamental cases, you say true
35:02 not be thought crucial., be is missing
37:40 in terms of peripherally initiated neural processes, you say instantiated
50:04 other behavior of the A-type, you say TAY-type

Please make these corrections from back to front (so as not to mess with the time stamps as you make the changes), reupload your corrected file, and post notice here with the new time.

Here is one observation which I understood perfectly:

"A child who has had his attention called to certain colors and who is, at the same time, given a name for these colors, is more likely to identify them in later experience than if no name had been given. The name serves as an incentive to the concentration of attention upon a particular phase of experience which would otherwise be lost in the general mass of sensations. Without the word, the possibility of dwelling upon the single phase of experience in thought would be small. This is the reason why the retention of facts in memory is so closely related to the naming of objects."

As a lifelong Montessori teacher, I spent many years "labeling the environment" for hundreds of children. For example, when a child paints a picture, Mommy naturally says "That's beautiful" and hangs it on the fridge. At parent/teacher meetings I taught them to quit judging and start describing/teaching, "I see a diagonal blue line coming from the upper corner of the paper. It crosses over this big red circle in the middle. Are those green dots at the bottom grass?"

This year I set myself the task to identify all the different kinds of sparrows that visit my feeders. Once the field guide points out the white circle around the eye of one type, the black line just over the eye of another type, a red beak, white tipped wings, or the shorter v-shaped tail of another type, only then do I notice it, and how valuable the labelling process is.

Thanks Michele, I expect to have time Friday this week to make the corrections.
