Book excerpt: This book is about four brothers—two older and two younger—who experience multiple life-changing events starting with the murder of their parents on Thanksgiving night in 1985. The older brothers are street savvy, and the younger brothers are book smart. Their journey becomes one of survival because the older brothers make it a point that their younger brothers finish high school and pursue higher education. The older brothers have dead-end jobs, and they resort to hustling in the streets of Detroit. But they were not prepared for what they encounter along the way to money, power, and fortune. They spend countless time reflecting on what they will do when and if they find their parents’ killer, and the real twist takes place when they do. To the readers of this book, I hope you find the outcome inspiring.

This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: City Market's story begins with a penniless eighteen-year-old immigrant and closes with the business becoming part of the largest supermarket chain in the United States. In 1924, brothers Paul, Frank, Leo and Clarence Prinster bought a meat market in Grand Junction, Colorado, a business venture that would allow them to ride out the stock market crash and the Great Depression. It also allowed them to open the state's first supermarket in 1939, the beginning of an empire that remained in the family for over a century and helped shape the heritage of western Colorado. Tony Prinster shares how the City Market founders and its dedicated employees transformed a family business into the retail brand that touched the lives of so many people.
Download or read book 4 Brothers written by Andrew Miller and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-03-13 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4 Brothers (originally titled 1 Brother) is an excellent childhood memoir by Andrew Miller that has been cruelly sabotaged by his three brothers. It would have been a beautifully written, insightful and amusing account of growing up in Sydney through the 60's, 70's and 80's but instead has become a questionably written, argumentative, and occasionally vulgar piece which has somehow turned out to be wholly entertaining. Few memories are agreed upon, and many are strongly, if not hotly, debated. What is, superficially at least, a nostalgic and entertaining read, also turns out to be a valuable and penetrating look into character, birth order, parenting techniques, world views and obnoxious personalities - from four brothers who remember their childhood very differently, yet who at the same time remain the closest of friends and the loyalist of companions.

A Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People A Capitol Choices Noteworthy Title Everyone who knew them agreed. Alberto was the genius of the family. His younger brother Diego was his opposite--he didn't care much for books or schoolwork, and he had no idea what he would be when he grew up. But despite their differences, the two brothers shared an intense bond. Alberto Giacometti became one of the iconic artists of the twentieth century, whose tall, spindly sculptures grace the collections of museums around the world. Diego was always at his side, helping and encouraging, and in his spare time creating remarkable pieces of furniture, works of sculpture in their own right. The poignant story of brothers and sculptors Alberto and Diego Giacometti is skillfully brought to life in the hands of multiple Sibert Honor authors Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan, and the spectacular artwork of Hadley Hooper. This lavishly illustrated 64-page book includes extensive backmatter, complete with a timeline, source notes, photographs, and an essay on how to look at a Giacometti sculpture.

Book excerpt: "Brothers Four: Reliving the Great Depression and World War II" is one man's personal story of growing up during the Great Depression and going off to war with all three of his brothers. Jock Davis' story epitomizes the grit, determination, and striving for excellence that resonates from our accurately named "Greatest Generation." Despite years of economic hardship, the horrors of war, and the challenges of getting a college education and a job in postwar Arkansas, Davis climbed the ladder to success in the fledgling poultry industry and left a legacy of military achievement and business success for his family. In this intensely personal story, Davis walks readers through the history of his boyhood home, his career in the National Guard after WWII, and his many civic achievements and service opportunities. "Brothers Four" will again remind you why the WWII generation represents the very best of what America has to offer. But for the sake of love of family and friends during this traumatic time, plus Patriotism and love of country, victory would not have been possible.

Download or read book The Fourth Turning written by William Strauss and published by Crown. This book was released on 1997-12-29 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.
