Download or read book Mermaid in Chelsea Creek written by Michelle Tea and published by McSweeney's. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone in the broken-down town of Chelsea, Massachussetts, has a story too worn to repeat—from the girls who play the pass-out game just to feel like they're somewhere else, to the packs of aimless teenage boys, to the old women from far away who left everything behind. But there’s one story they all still tell: the oldest and saddest but most hopeful story, the one about the girl who will be able to take their twisted world and straighten it out. The girl who will bring the magic. Could Sophie Swankowski be that girl? With her tangled hair and grubby clothes, her weird habits and her visions of a filthy, swearing mermaid who comes to her when she’s unconscious, Sophie could be the one to uncover the power flowing beneath Chelsea’s potholed streets and sludge-filled rivers, and the one to fight the evil that flows there, too. Sophie might discover her destiny, and maybe even in time to save them all.

Download or read book This Is the One written by Daniel Taylor and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2011-11-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the One is a fascinating insight into the mindset and winning temperament of the recently retired Sir Alex Ferguson, the most success manager in English football. When This Is The One was first published in 2007 it was hailed by Michael Crick as 'one of the all-time Manchester United classics' and featured by The Times in their quest to find the 'Best Ever 50 Sports Books'. Written over the course of two eventful and controversial seasons, it offers a unique portrait of Sir Alex Ferguson from Daniel Taylor’s position behind the scenes as a football writer covering Manchester United for the Guardian. During the 2005-06 season, Taylor saw Ferguson at one of the lowest ebbs of his quarter of a century in charge, with a failing team, explosive fallouts with Roy Keane and Ruud van Nistelrooy, a disenchanted fan-base and speculation that he might be forced out of the job. The season that followed demonstrated why Ferguson deserves to be seen as the greatest manager the modern game has produced, with Manchester United deposing Chelsea as Premier League champions and eventually seeing off José Mourinho. Ferguson would later call it the 'greatest achievement' of his time at England’s biggest football club. This Is The One is the close-up, warts-and-all account of what happened during those two helterskelter seasons – the excruciating lows and the exhilarating highs. It is also a fascinating exploration of the many different facets of Ferguson himself, from his infamous 'hairdryer' treatment to the softer, more humane side of the most successful manager in the business.

Download or read book The Journey written by Greg Kaplan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rooted in humorous stories distilled with bits of sagely honest advice, The Journey goes beyond the well-chronicled college admissions madness and cuts to the core of parental angst with concrete suggestions for preparing children for a competitive and rapidly changing world. Young people face an increasing medley of challenges as they pursue higher education. Amid skyrocketing tuition costs, 43 million U.S. adults hold a whopping $1.78 trillion in student loan debt. College admission is significantly more competitive than it was just a few years ago, and today's students compete with international talent for education and career opportunities. As a result, 40% of Gen Z adults live at home and have gained a "failure to launch" reputation. Many lack the skills and perspective they need to become fulfilled adults because their educational journey did not prepare them to be thoughtful, authentic, or strategic in developing and achieving their goals. Enter The Journey. Written for both parents and students, this guide is comprised of advice and personal anecdotes drawn from college admissions counselor Greg Kaplan's work. Kaplan offers sobering statistics about the lacking capabilities of the next generation and prescribes stories of parenting strategies that succeed in raising independent children to achieve their long-term goals. Emphasizing the foundational tenets of a successful adult life-grit, leadership, and passion-Kaplan approaches the college admissions process with the intent of instilling transferable skills that will carry students well into adulthood. He asks students: What do you want to get out of your college career and work career? How can you make the most of the college journey to jumpstart your journey into the real world? He asks parents: Are you preparing your children to attain a life of health, happiness, and financial independence? This book is designed to support today's youth in identifying their passions and developing the grit and leadership skills they will need to make the most of future opportunities. The Journey calls on parents to both act and refrain from acting to help their children develop into capable and independent adults and calls upon students to take control of their own futures through easy to implement steps"--
