Download or read book Make Love Not War written by David Allyn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Helen Gurley Brown's Sex and the Single Girl hit bookstores in 1962, the sexual revolution was launched and there was no turning back. Soon came the pill, the end of censorship, the advent of feminism, and the rise of commercial pornography. Our daily lives changed in an unprecedented time of sexual openness and experimentation. Make Love, Not War is the first serious treatment of the complicated events, ideas, and personalities that drove the sexual revolution forward. Based on first-hand accounts, diaries, interviews, and period research, it traces changes in private lives and public discourse from the fearful fifties to the first tremors of rebellion in the early sixties to the heady heyday of the revolution. Bringing a fresh perspective to the turbulence of these decades, David Allyn argues that the sexual revolutionaries of the '60s and '70s, by telling the truth about their own histories and desires, forced all Americans to re-examine the very meaning of freedom. Written with a historian's attention to nuance and a novelist's narrative drive, Make Love, Not War is a provocative, vivid, and thoughtful account of one of the most captivating episodes in American history. Also includes an 8-page insert.

Download or read book The History of Vegas written by Jodi Angel and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of dark short fiction about neglected and troubled teenagers, named a San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of the Year. Trouble. From the first page of each of the edgy and unrelentingly intense stories in this debut collection, the teenaged characters are headed for big trouble. The adult world has mostly failed them, and they find themselves entering into highly charged situations where they make their own rules, with misguided understanding of the consequences. The stories burn hot and fast, providing searing insights into their world of sex, drugs, drinking, violence, and accidental grace, played out in small, tough towns. Written with raw directness and understanding that makes these stories impossible to forget, The History of Vegas announces an exciting, fresh talent. “Bright, brooding, iconic, and dark.” —Anthony Swofford, New York Times bestselling author of Jarhead “In essence, Angel is writing a kind of abbreviated naturalism, the kind of fiction that writers like Raymond Carver and Larry Brown honed to perfection. Angel excels at it as well, whether the setting is the urban jungle of Las Vegas, the dirt roads of the lonely, expansive West or even the seemingly placid suburbs.” —San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s World War II, and Denmark is occupied by German armed forces. Exasperated by the pacifist complacency of daily life under the Government’s co-operative agreement with the Germans, Danes are distancing themselves from the official stance. A nation-wide grassroots’ revolt is breaking out. By August 1943, insurrection against the German occupation flares into lawlessness and sabotage. In the provincial town of Odense, the Niemann family run a prosperous fashion house and factory that has always traded with Germany. As the insurgency builds, vigilantes hunt down collaborators and ‘terrain mattresses’: women who befriend Germans. When 17-yearold Maia Niemann`s secret infatuation with a German officer is revealed, there are disastrous ramifications. Overnight, she becomes the target of Danish patriotic zealots, and is forced to flee the town. Maia moves in with her Aunt Mille in Copenhagen, where she hopes to pursue her dreams of becoming a top fashion designer. But her aunt has secrets of her own; not least, her involvement in the resistance movement. Summer in Copenhagen heats up in more ways than one, until Maia is faced with the biggest dilemma of her life. The choices she is forced to make will bring drastic consequences.

Karen Nieto passed her earliest years as a feral child, left alone to wander the vast beach property near her family's failing tuna cannery. But when her aunt Isabelle comes to Mexico to take over the family business, she discovers a real girl amidst the squalor. So begins a miraculous journey for autistic savant Karen, who finds freedom not only in the love and patient instruction of her aunt but eventually at the bottom of the ocean swimming among the creatures of the sea. Despite how far she's come, Karen remains defined by the things she can't do—until her gifts with animals are finally put to good use at the family's fishery. Her plan is brilliant: Consolation Tuna will be the first humane tuna fishery on the planet. Greenpeace approves, fame and fortune follow, and Karen is swept on a global journey that explores how we live, what we eat, and how our lives can defy even our own wildest expectations.
