Download or read book Life on the Mississippi written by Mark Twain and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2000-10-31 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I am a person who would quit authorizing in a minute to go to piloting,' Mark Twain once remarked. 'I would rather sink a steamboat than eat, any time.' And in 1882, Twain did just that: he returned to the river of his youth as a mature writer determined to expand seven articles which he had serialized in The Atlantic Monthly in 1875 into the definitive travelogue on the great Mississippi. Although Life on the Mississippi was not commercially successful when first published in May 1883, it is the work that Twain later claimed was the favorite among his books. Twain's rich portrait of the Mississippi also marks a distinctive transition in the life of the nation, from the boom years preceding the Civil War to the sober times that followed. Yet it is infused with the irreverent humor that was his trademark. 'Mark Twain was the first writer who ever used the American vernacular at the level of art,' said Bernard de Voto. 'He had a greater effect than any other writer on the evolution of American prose.'

Book excerpt: Between the pages of this book are the very explicit detailed sexual behaviors of a one Keisha Klarke. The enjoyment of her participation is described in such realism, that the wording actually becomes imaginable, if not desired. In the midst of pulling her pants down, the young woman/growing adult somehow managed to maintain her objective, and achieve her set goals in the corporate world of big business. Unfortunately, most reckless endangering behaviors are associated with consequences that are usually harsh, or to the severity of being life threatening. As a young aggressive focused person, Keisha clearly placed the rewards of financial success first, with her ill advised styfe of sexing coming in a close second. STAY IN TOUCH, WITH YOUR DAMN SELF !!!
Download or read book In So Many Words written by Robert Schmuhl and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1975, Robert Schmuhl's writing and teaching have focused on American political culture and contemporary communication, particularly the news media. In So Many Words brings together nearly forty of Schmuhl's previously published essays, which have appeared in the Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, American Journalism Review, and Notre Dame Magazine, among others. From investigating contemporary political life, to assessing the current state of journalism, to ruminating on today's republic of letters, this volume demonstrates one writer's probing--and catholic--curiosity. Arranged thematically, with the essays divided into three sections--Matters Political and Journalistic, Matters Literary, and Matters Personal--In So Many Words invites readers to ponder a wide range of issues, such as the debate over preemptive war, the compositional idiosyncrasies of wordsmiths, and the vagaries of media punditry. Variety, in both subjects considered and approaches pursued, is a hallmark of this collection. The essay form allows the author to move back and forth between longer and shorter expositions and serious or more playful perspectives. The phrase "in so many words" carries two meanings: precision or exactitude in language and candor or plain speaking. This is a book that lives up to its title by presenting arguments and dramatizing adventures in no uncertain terms. Whether stimulating thought, generating controversy, or evoking laughter, the consistently high quality of Schmuhl's writing throughout In So Many Words offers both elucidation and enjoyment. "If you--like most of us--find wisdom and wit in seriously short supply, you can get yourself an immediate refill by reading and relishing Robert Schmuhl's In So Many Words. In his inspired essay on U.S. foreign policy, 'Going Our Way,' Schmuhl proves to be a prophet--with both honor and wisdom; in 'Confessions of a Quote Slut,' his humor pulls back the curtain and reveals 'dark secrets' about those of us who make contemporary journalism. I am completely confident if you read 'Between Books' and 'Scout's Honor'--and the pieces in between--Schmuhl, just as he made me, will make you laugh and will make you think." --Mark Shields, syndicated columnist, political commentator for The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS "Bob Schmuhl is the guy I read when I want to understand how things political, cultural, and journalistic interact--and how the world works as a result. He's an analyst who is cool and collected, and so it's cool to know that he's collected, between cloth covers." --David M. Shribman, executive editor of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, syndicated columnist, and Pulitzer prize winner "I've known and respected the work of Bob Schmuhl my entire professional life. This collection of his work shines with enthusiasm for journalism, American culture, and the English language." --Roy Peter Clark, senior scholar, The Poynter Institute, and author of Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer

Download or read book Pigskin Nation written by Jesse Berrett and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cast as the ultimate hardhats, football players of the 1960s seemed to personify a crewcut traditional manhood that channeled the Puritan work ethic. Yet, despite a social upheaval against such virtues, the National Football League won over all of America—and became a cultural force that recast politics in its own smashmouth image. Jesse Berrett explores pro football's new place in the zeitgeist of the 1960s and 1970s. The NFL's brilliant harnessing of the sports-media complex, combined with a nimble curation of its official line, brought different visions of the same game to both Main Street and the ivory tower. Politicians, meanwhile, spouted gridiron jargon as their handlers co-opted the NFL's gift for spectacle and mythmaking to shape a potent new politics that in essence became pro football. Governing, entertainment, news, elections, celebrity--all put aside old loyalties to pursue the mass audience captured by the NFL's alchemy of presentation, television, and high-stepping style. An invigorating appraisal of a dynamic era, Pigskin Nation reveals how pro football created the template for a future that became our present.
