Introductions to each of the sections place the documents which include little-known texts as well as the classics within their cultural and historical context, providing biographical information for each author.

The texts are ordered chronologically, often subdivided by topics such as revolutionizing the family and relations between the sexes; education and women's literary culture; the anti-slavery movement; suffrage and other essential rights; and the professions and higher education.

Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc. Author : Library of Congress Publisher: N. Author : Mary N. Mary Woods dispels the prevailing notion that the profession developed under the leadership of men formally schooled in architecture as an art during the late nineteenth century.

Instead, she cites several instances in the early s of craftsmen-builders who shifted their identity to that of professional architects. While struggling to survive as designers and supervisors of construction projects, these men organized professional societies and worked for architectural education, appropriate compensation, and accreditation.

In such leading architectural practitioners as B. Carry On Book , when the whole book is available in Medium, the sequential releasing is no longer in effect. The other parts are hyperlinked to the earlier ones. The downside to that is that such unlisted stories are unavailable for generating income through the Members program of Medium.

Medium does provide a publication header on each story, that a reader can tap to get to the homepage of the publication, but I found it useful to add a standard footer image to each article as well, that provides the same function, as it is more useful — in my opinion — for the reader, after reading an article that they enjoyed, to be able to jump up to the homepage of the publication, rather than having to scroll up to the header.

I wanted something that was clearly setoff from my text in a different typeface, but not overshadowing it in any way either. I realized that what I wanted was a font size and style much like that of the attribution found underneath images on Medium. My solution was to do exactly that, only with a non-visible and diminutive image. I found a 1-pixel transparent gif and I place that where I want the notification to appear.

Navigation was another problem. Thus, your menu structure is normally restricted to just a top-level list of sections or groupings, each of which can only have a single story, or a list of stories without any deeper structure — you can only have a collection of stories that share a tag, a single story, or a page of featured stories.

I place it just above the start of the text, underneath the title. I did this because my book has a structural flow, and not just a collection of articles. Being able to move back-and-forth between sections makes sense for the kind of book I am publishing, where the reader may want to refer to another part of the text for needed information.

As an added bonus, the navigation bar I created adds a degree of empty space between the title and the body of text which in my opinion looks nicer. This is what the secondary navigation menu for my book looks like. Here is how I do this: I create a story without tags and no images that Joshua Weissman: An Unapologetic Cookbook serve as a table of contents for a subsection of the book.

There is nothing wrong with having a TOC discoverable in a search, and available for payment under the Medium Partner program. The final piece of the navigation puzzle is to use another hyperlinked attribution line as in the above examples to the next article in sequence within the book at the end of the article.
