Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Guardian Best Book of the Year “A gripping study of white power...Explosive.” —New York Times “Helps explain how we got to today’s alt-right.” —Terry Gross, Fresh Air The white power movement in America wants a revolution. Returning to a country ripped apart by a war they felt they were not allowed to win, a small group of Vietnam veterans and disgruntled civilians who shared their virulent anti-communism and potent sense of betrayal concluded that waging war on their own country was justified. The command structure of their covert movement gave women a prominent place. They operated with discipline, made tragic headlines in Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Oklahoma City, and are resurgent under President Trump. Based on a decade of deep immersion in previously classified FBI files and on extensive interviews, Bring the War Home tells the story of American paramilitarism and the birth of the alt-right. “A much-needed and troubling revelation... The power of Belew’s book comes, in part, from the fact that it reveals a story about white-racist violence that we should all already know.” —The Nation “Fascinating... Shows how hatred of the federal government, fears of communism, and racism all combined in white-power ideology and explains why our responses to the movement have long been woefully inadequate.” —Slate “Superbly comprehensive...supplants all journalistic accounts of America’s resurgent white supremacism.” —Pankaj Mishra, The Guardian

Book excerpt: Learn the simplicity of using hand tools, while you build! Traditional woodworking using hand tools can offer a more satisfying relationship with the wood and the creative woodworking process. It's quieter, cleaner and maybe even a little spiritual. It's no surprise that many "plugged-in" woodworkers are returning to the roots of this treasured skill. Where some hand-tool books focus solely on the use of hand tools, Made By Hand takes you right to the bench and shows you how to start building furniture using these tools. By working through the six projects in this book, you'll learn the basics of hand-tool woodworking and how to use the tools effectively and efficiently, then add joinery skills and design complexity. The accompanying DVD includes valuable insight into the tools themselves and a look at the techniques that make these tools work so well. If you're interested in hand tools, start here!

Download or read book Slob Proof written by Debbie Wiener and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 2008 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people think of hiring an interior decorator to help them design a house, an apartment, or just a room, they often have stars in their eyes. This is the opportunity to live out their dreams-maybe not Architectural Digest dreams, but at least House Beautiful, Country Living, or House & Garden. Then they spend a lot of time and money, admire their gorgeous home for a week or two, then realize that the one thing they should have considered was making the place . . . slob proof. In Slob Proof! Deborah Weiner passes on to readers real-life home decorating solutions that were previously available only to her clients at Designing Solutions in Silver Spring, Maryland-the secrets her husband and two sons taught her through years of sad experience. When you live with 'slobs'-basically, when you really live in your home, without designating off-limits rooms and untouchable furniture-you need to choose sofas and tables, carpets and tiling, curtains and blinds, and every other element you can think of that can stand the wear and tear of real life and still look great. In Slob Proof! readers will find so much advice: •Decorate for the way you really live-not the way you'd like to live-and spend money now on pieces that wear and clean well. •Lifestyle comes first-toys may never be put away, clothes may always be thrown on the bedroom floor, and feet won't be wiped, so dirt and mud is probably going to be tracked in every day. Plan ahead so these things won't ruin your home! •If you've got kids or a black Lab, white upholstery is not an option-and beige carpeting is on the endangered list, too. •If you think your family belongs in an institution, get institutional carpet! •Colour is your friend-you can use it to camouflage everyday life. And good lighting is a close second-it brings colour to life. Got a sloppy spouse who loves to eat late-night snacks while reclining on the living room sofa? Do your kids use your once-gleaming hardwood floors for indoor hockey practice while you're at work? Do your beds double as trampolines? Let Deborah Weiner take you by the hand, from room to room of your real-life house, filled with comfortable, functional furnishings that will hold up to the way you really live-and we're not talking about plastic covers here!

Download or read book Never Give Up the Jump written by Susan Gurwell Talley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The daughter of a D-Day paratrooper and her husband, a PTSD therapist, discover a family legacy of love, trauma, and resilience when they set out to explore a vast trove of WWII correspondence, official military documents, personal effects, and unique militaria found in closets and basements after her father’s death. Young Sue Gurwell had always known that her father had been a paratrooper. An old camo parachute from Holland served as her backyard tent, and high on a shelf she mustn’t touch, eight red devils in parachutes grinned from the front of mysterious drinking glasses Dad had sent Mom during the war. And then there was the special poem in his roll-top desk she sometimes snuck a peek at, written by a member of Dad’s regiment. This poem was a premonition of the sergeant’s death. “Yes,” her dad told her, “He was right—he died on D-Day.” But it’s not until 2016, after her parents had both passed away, that Susan Gurwell Talley and her husband Jack L. Talley begin to understand the true extent and significance of the wartime artifacts that had been staples of Sue’s childhood. The Talley’s discovered that Sue’s father, Lt. George L. Gurwell, Executive Officer, HqHq, 508th PIR, had silently squirreled away thousands of wartime documents in the family home. Like most combat veterans, George was never one to talk about the war; but the historic collection of official records, correspondence, photographs, maps, memorabilia, cultural artifacts, and unique ephemera constitute quite possibly the most extensive, various, and complete documentation of the 508th held privately today. This precious resource could not have passed into better hands than those of Jack and Sue Talley. Jack, a PhD psychologist specializing in PTSD, was the first to understand that George had PTSD symptoms that still lingered from the war years when he and George were introduced on June 6, 2001. That evening, the 57th anniversary of D-Day, George first opened up about the war, and preceded to talk late into the night. In that conversation lies the genesis of this book.
