Download or read book Hollybush written by Charles E. Martin and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1993-08-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Appalachian community of Hollybush, first settled in 1881, grew to a population of some 150 people on thirty farm sites. Charles Martin shows that its abandonment in 1960 resulted from technological change, which brought social upheaval manifested in the region's now-vanished architecture." "Martin's analysis makes innovative use of the techniques of oral history and material culture. The essential data incorporated within the building survey document the physical displacement that occurred in the community as it attempted to switch from an agrarian to an industrial system. The author assesses the resulting social conflict, showing how coal provided the catalyst for change to which residents so profoundly reacted. In the experience of Hollybush the author discovers a paradigm of the social changes wrought by industrialism elsewhere in America."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Holly Bush Road written by A.A. Valentine and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holly Bush Road An Angelica Barrister Story By: A.A. Valentine In order to gain, we must sacrifice. And if a large group, such as a town, took this to heart, what would be the outcome? What sort of sacrifice is necessary, and who is willing to sacrifice what they hold dearest to them for the greater good? Holly Bush Road is the origin story for the main character, Angelica Eva Barrister. This book focuses mainly on the family’s experience at their farmhouse on Holly Bush Road, and it introduces us to a sense of balance that is needed to be maintained, not only in our lives but in nature also. Perhaps we should rejoice in the “good” times, or perhaps we should be preparing ourselves for the “bad” times that will inevitably come.
Download or read book A Name on a Wall written by Mark Byford and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-11-07 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unusual coincidence occurred early one morning at the most visited war memorial in the United States as a shaft of sunlight hit one of the 58,282 names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The name was Larry Byford. So begins a unique personal journey to discover the story of the name on the wall. Travelling more than 30,000 miles, from east Texas to Vietnam, Mark Byford learns about the lasting impact on Larry's siblings, friends and the comrades who were there with him on the day he died in the summer of 1967. He pinpoints why that time became the turning point of America’s most divisive war of the twentieth century. A Name on a Wall is a gripping true story that focuses on duty, heroism and fate. We learn not only about the tragic loss of Larry Byford, a draftee rifleman in Vietnam, but also the contrasting war story of the author’s own father, Lawry Byford, a draftee from Yorkshire, for whom the Second World War became the springboard for a new life filled with opportunities. Forty years after the final American combat troops left Vietnam, thirty years after The Wall was built to heal a nation, and in the light of the recent controversial wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, what lessons, if any, have been learnt through the ultimate sacrifice of the name on a wall?

Download or read book Scottish Rock written by Gary Latter and published by Pesda Press. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best mountain, crag, sea cliff and sport climbing in Scotland. From the Foreword by Hamish MacInnes . "If you have an ambition to do all the climbs in these two Scottish Rock guides I think you'd better schedule time off in your next life. This labour of Gary's has been of gargantuan proportions. Those of you who use the guides will benefit by his dedication and the sheer choice offered; if you divide the retail price of these by the number of good routes you'll realise this is a bargain. Volume 1 covers a proliferation of Scottish crags up to the natural demarcation of the Great Glen. They are easier to access than most in Volume 2 and present infinite variety. I have been a long-time advocate of selected climbs and the use of photographs to illustrate both climbs and action. I'm glad that this principle has been used throughout these two volumes. It gives you a push to get up and do things. The list seems endless and if you succeed in doing half of them you'll be a much better climber and know a lot more about Scotland - have a good decade!"

Download or read book The Avenue Goes to War written by R. F. Delderfield and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The residents of a South London street face World War II together in this novel from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Dreaming Suburb. Years ago, the Great War tore apart the lives of the families living on Manor Park Avenue in South London. Now, as Allied and Axis armies rage across Europe in an even more devastating conflict, the residents of the Avenue struggle to cope with the sacrifices England must make as their nation’s place in the world irrevocably changes. Longtime homeowner Jim Carver, who lives in Number Twenty, had his fill of combat in the trenches of France more than twenty years ago. But when the Luftwaffe rains death from above on his beloved street, he dedicates himself to the war effort. Carver’s eldest son, Archie, has come a long way from grocer’s errand boy to owner of a chain of successful shops. His illicit affair with a neighbor whose husband is fighting for King and Country threatens to undo everything he has achieved. Esther Frith lives a solitary life in Number Seventeen, seemingly oblivious to the aerial onslaught ravaging the Avenue now that the war has turned her family into casualties. And across the road at Number Twenty-Two, reclusive Harold Godbeer hates what the war is doing to his country. He realizes that even if England succeeds in helping defeat the Axis’s tyrannical dictators, his nation will be but a shadow of its former glory. Living side by side as their neighborhood becomes a battleground, two generations of Manor Park Avenue must unite if they—and their way of life—are to survive during wartime, in this moving novel about the connections we forge during times of trouble, which was also adapted for British television.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riding the wave of the very popular Regency genre, The Gentleman Spy Mysteries series mixes dark mystery with happily ever after romances to capture the hearts of readers. Includes all four books in the darkly romantic Gentleman Spy Mysteries! If you love Regency era mysteries and romance, you'll love the Gentleman Spy Mysteries. Book One, The Innkeeper's Daughter follows Agent-to-the-Crown Sir Henry March and his beautiful and feisty common-born mistress, Eliza Broad, who proves herself to be a worthy partner in the fight against enemy agents running a dark sadistic world of sex trafficking that has eluded Sir Henry for years. Book Two, The Gentleman's Daughter, continues with the story of Sir Henry, who according the rules of society, must marry a lady above reproach to give his illegitimate daughter, Emily, entrance into society. Just when he thinks there are no women of interest, he meets Isabella who is as beautiful as she is talented. But Isabella doesn't plan to marry, and wants to forget a painful past. To keep her overbearing mother at bay, she embarks on a fake courtship with Sir Henry, which soon turns to love. All the while, the same enemy agents are still at work, and it falls to Sir Henry to save Isabella from their dark world. Book Three, The Memory of Her, follows Sir Henry's best friend, Allen Strathem, as he recuperates from the horrors of war, and the woman who nurses him to health, and Sir Henry's former mistress, Eliza Broad. As he regains his strength, and the two of them find love, they must battle together to elude and capture the men who tortured Allen during the war - only to find out that something much more dark is afoot. Finally, in Book Four, The Spy's Daughter, Sir Henry's daughter, Emily, is ready to enter society; however, her illegitimacy may overshadow her wealth, beauty, and talent. But it may be another barrier that stands in her way, the enemy forces who have always eluded her father. Max Warthon is the grandson of one of those dark and powerful agents, and he knows that getting too close to Emily will lead to peril, but he cannot resist her. Their whirlwind romance attracts everyone's attention — and raises the ire of his grandfather. With old secrets standing in their way, will Emily and Max be able to unravel the mystery of an ancient hatred and unmask the true enemy once and for all?

Eliza Broad has overcome trauma and loss to become the confident woman and spy she is today. Allen Strathem, fellow spy and good friend, has loved Eliza since the moment he first set eyes on her. But he left England without telling her so, bound for a mission on the Crimea with his secret buried deep. When he returns, Eliza is tasked with helping Allen recover from the horrors he has experienced, and she dedicates herself to banishing the specters of his Russian captivity and restoring the sparkle in his eyes. As Allen recuperates, they realize danger has followed him back to England. Together, they set a trap for the man who tortured him, only to discover something far more menacing afoot. With danger and intrigue around every corner, Eliza and Allen rely on and trust each other, and soon their once-buried love becomes a driving force. The perilous adventure they share and thrive on binds them together, but will that be enough to protect them from those who wish to see them dead?
