Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “He’s so funny, Ma. Uncle’s a bit like the Devil, isn’t he – if he knew the truth he’d only lie about it.” “Devil or not, you won’t pull the wool over his eyes. He’s always ten steps ahead. He’s like that electric hare at the greyhound races – you’re never going to catch him, no matter how hard you try.” Not a black hearted liar, more Prince of Fibs, Teresa’s uncle keeps everyone on their toes. Rich, a scholar, and ex-national boxing champion – some say a Communist crackpot – Fergus O’Flynn, with devilish cunning, teaches his pretty teenage niece higher things of life, even citing scripture, and how to fight dirty, take care of herself on Hope Street where she’s considered easy bait walking home from school. Neglect had once been his demon, allowing his own sister to die. He was never to let that happen again. Teresa prefers to watch the world from her giant fig tree. One day she is stirred into action, saving a street girl savagely beaten. She takes revenge; a plot unexpectedly hatched by her uncle. Set in Australia’s Tropics, more about school assignments than school proms; of an uncle who brings richness to Teresa’s life in guiding her to self acceptance while continually working behind the scenes. But Fergus is like those painted Russian dolls – out they come, small, large, larger again, all empty as before. Or is he? His fourth novel, Darryl Kennedy is a retired English teacher now writing fulltime in Australia.

Download or read book Not Funny written by Jena Friedman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Friedman's debut collection, Not Funny, takes on the third rails of modern life in Jena's bold and subversive style, with essays that explore cancel culture, sexism, work, celebrity worship, and...dead baby jokes. In a moment where women's rights are being rolled back, fascism is on the rise, and so many of us could use a breather as we struggle to get by, Jena applies her unique gifts to pull a laugh from things deemed too raw, too precious, and too scary to joke about. She shares her stories of taking on those who told her she was too brash, too edgy, and too "unlikable" to make it. She deftly dissects how we get coerced into silence on the issues that matter most, until they've gone too far afield to be turned back around again. And she shares her struggles to make it (-ish) in a world that, more often than not, would rather tune out than listen to a woman confronting the indignities we've been told to bear."--Dust jacket flap.

Download or read book A Medley of Short Stories written by Donald F. Megnin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Between the first and last series of stories the reader will find an amalgam of thoughts, experiences, maturation, and influences which have affected the life of the author. While some of the stories are humorous, tragic, rancorous or filled with questions the reader might ask himself/ herself, it is hoped that a new set of insights have been provided to give meaning to their lives. What drives persons to question their beliefs, growth, human examples and what has produced the type of person he/she has become? Everyone has grown up with persons who have influenced them more than they knew at the time of their encounter. It may only be years later that they may recognize who, what, and why they have experienced the vagaries of life unique to themselves. Even as a person's finger prints are unique and so uniquely differentiated that there are no two sets of finger prints alike among human beings, each one of us has his/her own unique lifetimes which no one else may have had. There are segments of a person's life which may resonate in terms of experiences, persons, events and places truly unique to themselves, but unduplicated in the same forms as those of their neighbors. A Medley of Short Stories attempts to illustrate how unique the totality of a person's life can be from beginning to end: from birth to death, from childhood to adulthood, from tragedy to success depending upon what a person makes of the lifetime experiences which everyone has but not everyone can turn to his or her advantage. It is the hope of the author to provide an insight and stimulus to the reader's reevaluation of his/her life which will assist in evaluating the heights and depths to which their own lives have evolved or are evolving in the course of their lifetimes."

Download or read book On Borrowed Time written by and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entitlements represent one of the largest and fastest-growing portions of the federal budget. They are regarded as sacrosanct by lawmakers, yet many people see them as one of the greatest threats to the American Dream. This volume argues that by sacrificing the future in order to pay ever-larger federal benefits through programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and federal pensions, entitlement spending has become a crushing burden to American workers. Peterson and Howe destroy myths surrounding entitlement spending. They show that the bulk of it does not go to the poor. The majority of the elderly are not needy and dependent. Entitlement programs, not defense spending, consume the largest share of the federal budget. In short, we cannot balance the budget without reducing entitlement spending. In a country that demands critical investments--improving public education, alleviating poverty, increasing professional opportunity--growth in entitlement spending is unaffordable. On Borrowed Time is an important and timely book that will be mandatory reading for policymakers, politicians, economists, and a general public concerned with its financial future. "This book should be read by everyone who wants to understand how government spending can be controlled."--Martin Feldstein, George F. Baker Professor of Economics, Harvard University "A powerful analyses and policy prescriptions which will challenge every thoughtful person coping with the dilemma of providing humane, but cost effective, entitlements."--Michael J. Boskin, Professor of Economics, Stanford University Peter G. Peterson is chairman and co-founder of The Blackstone Group. He is chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, founding chairman of the Institute for International Economics (Washington, D.C.), founding president of The Concord Coalition, and co-chair of The Conference Board Commission on Public Trust and Private Enterprises. Neil Howe is a partner and co-founder of LifeCourse Associates, a Virginia-based consulting firm and senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. A historian, economist, author, and speaker, he is the co-author (with William Strauss) of several books, including Generations, The Fourth Turning, and Millennials Rising.

Download or read book Making the American Mouth written by Alyssa Picard and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-21 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are Americans so uniquely obsessed with teeth? Brilliantly white, straight teeth? Making the American Mouth is at once a history of United States dentistry and a study of a billion-dollar industry. Alyssa Picard chronicles the forces that limited Americans' access to dental care in the early twentieth century and the ways dentists worked to expand that access--and improve the public image of their profession. Comprehensive in scope, this work describes how dentists' early public health commitments withered under the strain of fights over fluoride, mid-century social movements for racial and gender equity, and pressure to insure dental costs. It explains how dentists came to promote cosmetic services, and why Americans were so eager to purchase them. As we move into the twentyfirst century, dentists' success in shaping their industry means that for many, the perfect American smile will remain a distant--though tantalizing--dream.
