Book excerpt: 'This book is a splendid contribution to American history, and it deserves praise for its comprehensive and sensitive treatment of a topic that many would like to avoid. By taking the reader through the maelstrom and horrors of the black experience since the Civil War, the book provides a greater understanding of the pathological nature of racism and the profound contradictions between our national ideals and the realities of American society. It also helps dispel the myth that violence has been merely tangential to our national experience. American Historical Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: YOU’VE BEEN LIED TO BY THE GOVERNMENT We shrug off this fact as an unfortunate reality. America is the land of the free, after all. Does it really matter whether our politicians bend the truth here and there? When the truth is traded for lies, our freedoms are diminished and don’t return. In Lies the Government Told You, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano reveals how America’s freedom, as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, has been forfeited by a government more protective of its own power than its obligations to preserve our individual liberties. “Judge Napolitano’s tremendous knowledge of American law, history, and politics, as well as his passion for freedom, shines through in Lies the Government Told You, as he details how throughout American history, politicians and government officials have betrayed the ideals of personal liberty and limited government." —Congressman Ron Paul, M.D. (R-TX), from the Foreword

This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young executive (used to be me) gets a job in England just when his life was in disruption in the USA, takes a job abroad and finds he now is utterly lost, confused, and perplexed as he tries to learn life, geography, sophistication, integration, typical work days, and interpreting menus, all the while endeavouring to restart the life of a party-guy and babe-magnet...okay, I lied about the babe magnet part. One day, the EVP of his American corporation, He Who Must Be Obeyed, He From Whom All Blessing Flow, implied he should work somewhere else! In his second book, Henry departs from the biopic of his father and family, and opts for laughs this time. He reveals the inside story of the work ethic and social habits of the 70's executive, as he is exported to England to serve as the training manager for a prestige car franchise. In his story, which he terms 'faction', he reveals the truth behind what taking employment abroad can mean, and attempts to warn the casual reader of the dangers of certain foods, importation of girlfriends, predatory landladies, chartered airplanes, birthdays away, and even penetrating the 'Iron Curtain' with often hilarious results..a good read for those that were there, and those who only wish to have been there...prepare for a laugh either way. After all was said and done, Henry still resides in England with his English wife who hopes he doesn't go through with this book...not to mention the people who'll recognise themselves!

Download or read book Venice Desired written by Tony Tanner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there is one city that might be said to embody both reason and desire, it would surely be Venice: a thousand-year triumph of rational legislation, aesthetic and sensual self-expression, and self-creation--powerful, lovely, serene. Unique in so many ways, Venice is also unique in its relation to writing. London has Dickens, Paris has Balzac, Saint Petersburg has Dostoevsky, Dublin has Joyce, but there is simply no comparable writer for, or out of, Venice. Venice effectively disappeared from history altogether in 1797 after its defeat by Napoleon. From then on, it seemed to exist as a curiously marooned spectacle. Literally marooned--the city mysteriously growing out of the sea, the beautiful stone impossibly floating on water--but temporally marooned as well, stagnating outside history. Yet as spectacle, as the beautiful city par excellence, the city of art, the city as art and as spectacular example, as the greatest and richest republic in the history of the world, now declined and fallen, Venice became an important site for the European imagination. Watery, dark, silent, a place of sensuality and secrecy; of masks and masquerading; of an always possibly treacherous beauty; of Desdemona and Iago, Shylock, Volpone; of conspiracy and courtesans in Otway; an obvious setting for many Gothic novels--Venice is not written from the inside but variously appropriated from without. Venice--the place, the name, the dream--seems to lend itself to a whole variety of appreciations, recuperations, and and hallucinations. In decay and decline, yet saturated with secret sexuality--suggesting a heady compound of death and desire--Venice becomes for many writers what is was for Byron: both "the greenest island of my imagination" and a "sea-sodom." It also, as this book tries to show, plays a crucial role in the development of modern writing. Tanner skillfully lays before us the many ways in which this dreamlike city has been summoned up, depicted, dramatized--then rediscovered or transfigured in selected writings through the years.
