A timeless classic, this workbook-style text celebrates holidays—and the ESL learner! Each of the 20 chapters targets a holiday via an informative three-page reading. Key vocabulary is bolded and recycled. For example, the Valentine’s Day unit embraces the words romance, affection, sweetheart, companion, feelings and others that are then reviewed in matching exercises, sentence completions, and Internet tasks. Black and white photos further add to the celebration. Special appendices extend learning with relevant holiday “documents” (The Pledge of Allegiance, MLK’s I Have a Dream speech, etc.), gift-giving customs, and traditional songs. An answer key is in the back. Holidays included aside from the most common: President’s Day, St. Patrick’s, Easter, Memorial Day, The 4th of July, Election Day, Veterans Day, Cinco de Mayo, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, and Yom Kippur

The idealist William Wilberforce maneuvers his way through Parliament, endeavoring to end the British transatlantic slave trade

Unlike the other entries in the “Instant Expert” series, this quick guide to The Mayflower starts out with a lengthy re-enactment and even a title page that gives away its origin as a different film: Desperate Crossing: The Untold Story of the Mayflower. Although when compared to its fellow films (Instant Expert: The Story of Oil, Instant Expert: Ben Franklin) it contains a similar documentary outline of narration, expert interviews and re-enactments, the extensive period piece re-enactments (complete with accents and awkward sentence structure) weigh heavily on this piece, distracting from the historical recounting and the factual presentation of information

Elected President only to see the nation fracture in two, Lincoln led a confused and frightened people through the most terrible war in their history. At the same time, his own household mirrored the fissures that split the nation: the great emancipator was married to the daughter of a slave owner from Kentucky. Mary Todd Lincoln was an aristocratic southerner who met Lincoln when he was still a backwoods politician lacking in experience and sophistication. Although she remained fiercely loyal to her husband and the Union cause, two of her brothers fought for the South. Their marriage was long and turbulent, and knew many trials, including the loss of two children. Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided weaves together the lives of the two Lincolns, drawing us into their long-vanished world

Frederick Manion (Ben Gazzara), a lieutenant in the army, is arrested for the murder of a bartender, Barney Quill. He claims, in his defense, that the victim had raped and beaten up his wife Laura (Lee Remick). Although Laura supports her husband's story, the police surgeon can find no evidence that she has been raped. Manion is defended by Paul Biegler (James Stewart), a rather humble small-town lawyer. During the course of interviews, Biegler discovers that Manion is violently possessive and jealous, and also that his wife has a reputation for giving her favors to other men. Biegler realizes that the prosecution will try to make the court believe that Laura was the lover of the bartender and than Manion killed him and beat her up when he discovered them together. Manion pleads "not guilty" and Biegler, who knows that his case is weak, sets his assistants to try to find a witness who will save Manion
