Book excerpt: Friendships last a lifetime in It’s About Time, and each begins and ends with stories—stories ranging from the daily struggles of child rearing and marital strife to an unresolved, forbidden love, and the loneliness of widowhood. It’s About Time snapshots the stories of four very different women over three subsequent decades as the lives of Phoebe, Abagail, Hannah, and Tammy interlace through periods of joy and seasons of strife. Beginning in the nineteen-sixties, each member of the Bridge Club narrates her experiences, hopes, fears, and secrets as world events, technology, and the actions of others change their lives. As time passes, they support each other as they raise their families, educate their children, deal with financial crises, explore new generations and romantic relationships, as well as face the difficulties of retirement and the loss of their spouses. The enduring relationships of women are powerfully strong through transition and redemption. But can these friendships weather any storm? Will the Bridge Club survive the stresses of bank fraud, affairs, illness, and aging?

Download or read book No Requiem for the Space Age written by Matthew D. Tribbe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the summer of 1969-the summer Americans first walked on the moon-musician and poet Patti Smith recalled strolling down the Coney Island Boardwalk to a refreshment stand, where "pictures of Jesus, President Kennedy, and the astronauts were taped to the wall behind the register." Such was the zeitgeist in the year of the moon. Yet this holy trinity of 1960s America would quickly fall apart. Although Jesus and John F. Kennedy remained iconic, by the time the Apollo Program came to a premature end just three years later few Americans mourned its passing. Why did support for the space program decrease so sharply by the early 1970s? Rooted in profound scientific and technological leaps, rational technocratic management, and an ambitious view of the universe as a realm susceptible to human mastery, the Apollo moon landings were the grandest manifestation of postwar American progress and seemed to prove that the United States could accomplish anything to which it committed its energies and resources. To the great dismay of its many proponents, however, NASA found the ground shifting beneath its feet as a fierce wave of anti-rationalism arose throughout American society, fostering a cultural environment in which growing numbers of Americans began to contest rather than embrace the rationalist values and vision of progress that Apollo embodied. Shifting the conversation of Apollo from its Cold War origins to larger trends in American culture and society, and probing an eclectic mix of voices from the era, including intellectuals, religious leaders, rock musicians, politicians, and a variety of everyday Americans, Matthew Tribbe paints an electrifying portrait of a nation in the midst of questioning the very values that had guided it through the postwar years as it began to develop new conceptions of progress that had little to do with blasting ever more men to the moon. No Requiem for the Space Age offers a narrative of the 1960s and 1970s unlike any told before, with the story of Apollo as the story of America itself in a time of dramatic cultural change.

Download or read book Cold Sweat written by Yamma Brown and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being the child of a global superstar is never easy, but being the daughter of the "Hardest Working Man in Show Business"—that's a category unto itself. Like every little girl, Yamma Brown wanted her father's attention, but fame, drugs, jail, and the complicated women in James Brown's life set the stage for an uncommon childhood. She got caught in the same trap as her mother, doing things in her adult life and troubled marriage that, as a child, she'd promised herself she'd never do. The struggles she went through, both as a child and as an adult, make for a gripping read and, in the end, a profound examination of the nature of celebrity, violence, and survival. Though packed with celebrity appearances ranging from Michael Jackson to Al Sharpton, Cold Sweat ultimately focuses on an everyday issue faced by millions of women—domestic violence—and in this book Yamma faces it in an honest and powerfully moving way.
