Lithuanian Liteature: top Lithuanian books and writers | True Lithuania Lithuanian Literature Translated foreign literature is more popular in Lithuania than the Lithuanian one but some local "star authors" manage to write an extremely successful book now and then. For others a small market precludes from making a decent living as very few Lithuanian books get translated to English. Like other art, Lithuanian literature passed multiple distinct phases. Until the 19th century the folk tales/myths remained largely unwritten leaving the books to Christian religious works. The National Revival (19th century) brought Lithuanian language and national romantic topics to the Lithuanian readers, concentrating on beautiful nature, glorious Grand Duchy history and ethnic traditions. After that freedom was achieved (1918) literary experimentation prevailed in many new magazines, establishing a writer as an "anticonformist" figure, mostly either a neoromantic (seeking to unify ethnic tradition, Christianity and modernity) or a leftist.

Hands on Math Activities for Making Elementary Math Fun! Make Learning FUN with 50+ Hands-On Math Activities! Do you love math? I’m guessing that like many people, your answer is probably no! Math can be frustrating to kids if the concepts are hard to understand. Also, math requires a significant amount of memorization, and a lack of recall on the basic math facts can slow kids down and cause them to get answers wrong. No one enjoys being frustrated by tough concepts or humiliated by wrong answers! When my oldest son was about 11 years old, he announced that he hated math, but this kid also did things like time his Hot Wheels cars so that he could calculate how many feet per second they were traveling. Math is so much more appealing (or at least more tolerable) when you add a hands-on dimension.

These Ancient Trees Have Stories to Tell Over three trillion trees live on planet Earth, and yet we know so few of their stories. Of course all trees play an important role—purifying the air, hosting the feathered and the furry, teaching kids (and kids at heart) how to climb—but some have spent more time doing these things than others. Quiver trees, for example, can live up to 300 years, oaks can live a thousand years, and bristlecone pines and yews can survive for millennia. In 1999, photographer Beth Moon took it upon herself to begin documenting some of these more seasoned trees. She found some of her subjects through research and discovered others through tips from friends and enthusiastic travelers. “Sometimes the journey is half the fun,” says Moon, citing a tree in Madagascar that was particularly hard to find. Part of what intrigues her about these trees, which are older than many of our most established institutions, is what makes them last. Many of the real trees represented, however, face hard times ahead.

25 maps that explain the English language English is the language of Shakespeare and the language of Chaucer. It’s spoken in dozens of countries around the world, from the United States to a tiny island named Tristan da Cunha. It reflects the influences of centuries of international exchange, including conquest and colonization, from the Vikings through the 21st century. The origins of English 1) Where English comes from English, like more than 400 other languages, is part of the Indo-European language family, sharing common roots not just with German and French but with Russian, Hindi, Punjabi, and Persian. 2) Where Indo-European languages are spoken in Europe today Saying that English is Indo-European, though, doesn’t really narrow it down much. 3) The Anglo-Saxon migration Here’s how the English language got started: After Roman troops withdrew from Britain in the early 5th century, three Germanic peoples — the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes — moved in and established kingdoms. 4) The Danelaw 5)The Norman Conquest 9) Canada Learn more
