Book excerpt: It is the summer of 1892 and fifteen-year-old Tilly Pound has come to Linden Rise – the holiday cottage of the genteel but dysfunctional Culverton family – to work as a housemaid. She starts as just another member of ‘the help’ but, as the years pass and the 19th century judders its unwieldy way into the 20th, this tough and resourceful young woman becomes an anchor in a fragmenting world. Mr and Mrs Culverton are trapped in a loveless marriage, rocked by his obvious infidelities and marked by her helplessness and fragility. Their children are raising themselves until Tilly arrives, and it remains to be seen whether her lively good sense can change their lives for the better . . . A beautifully written, razor-sharp saga that paints a vivid portrait of the fraught and nuanced relationships between parents and their children, Linden Rise is full of the charming child characters that Richmal Crompton always evokes so beautifully.
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the American Medical Empire written by Robert A. Linden and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are four major dilemmas at work in the rapid decline of the United States' healthcare system: the disappearing primary care sector, healthcare insurance reform, the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on the practice of medicine, and reform of malpractice litigation. In this book, Dr. Robert A. Linden provides a comprehensive explanation of these dilemmas, from the perspective of a primary care physician who has spent 30 years working directly with patients and seeing first-hand how changes in the system have impacted patients and physicians. Dr. Linden sorts out the fragments of information that most readers get through the media and fills in the blanks to provide a clear picture of what's wrong with the U.S. healthcare system, an impartial review of proposed solutions, and a look at what other countries have done to reform their healthcare systems. Unlike many academician authors who have covered the problems only in part with skewed information, this book will finally help the healthcare consumer understand the problems facing us and form their own assessments of what should be done to restore the American healthcare system.
Download or read book Karl Kraus and the Discourse of Modernity written by Ari Linden and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ari Linden’s Karl Kraus and the Discourse of Modernity reconsiders the literary works of the Viennese satirist, journalist, and playwright Karl Kraus (1874–1936). Combining close readings with intellectual history, Linden shows how Kraus’s two major literary achievements (The Last Days of Mankind and The Third Walpurgis Night) and his adaptation of The Birds by Aristophanes (Cloudcuckooland) address the political catastrophes of the first third of Europe’s twentieth century—from World War I to the rise of fascism. Kraus’s central insight, Linden argues, is that the medial representations of such events have produced less an informed audience than one increasingly unmoved by mass violence. In the second part of the book, Linden explores this insight as he sees it inflected in the writings of Søren Kierkegaard, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor Adorno. This hidden dialogue, Linden claims, offers us a richer understanding of the often-neglected relationship between satire and critical theory writ large.

Download or read book Royal Murdoch written by Robert Harlow and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2002-04-04 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Royal Murdoch is Robert Harlow´s first novel, published in 1962 and reprinted now as part of a plan to bring all of the author´s nine novels together under one imprint and make them available to a new audience. When Royal Murdoch was first published it was called a strong debut work, and it began to build Harlow´s reputation as one of his country´s better story-tellers. Royal Murdoch was a soldier from the Boer War and a restless pioneer by nature. He married Emma, a young and inexperienced Halifax woman, and brought her west in 1909 as far as the railroad would take them. Unceremoniously arriving at the confluence of the Linden and the Swifter Rivers, Royal decided that this was home, set up a tent with a hand-sawn floor and re-enforced with four-foot high log walls that were proof enough against the long and very cold winter. Gradually, he cleared twenty acres of land and built a cabin for him and Emma to live in. During this time, Yvonne, a young aboriginal woman, ran away from her native village and, at the end of steel, she found a construction camp, which included the usual prostitutes who had followed the men as they moved west across the Rockies into British Columbia. Yvonne lived nearby in a shelter she built herself and she too entertained men from the camp. Soon she was pregnant. Her son Roger was born and named for her father, Roger LaPointe - the name went back to the 1830s when a Voyageur stayed with Yvonne´s band, called now the Crest Indians, and fathered the first of four generations of Roger LaPointes. Yvonne needed help with her child, and this encouraged Emma Murdoch to make her biggest mistake since marrying Royal. She took on Yvonne as a servant, thinking it both a charitable act and help for herself in the never-ending drudgery of life beyond the edge of civilization. Royal, unsatisfied with Emma stiffly submitting to his sexual needs, began to visit with Yvonne. He built Emma the big house at the western side of his twenty acres and moved Yvonne into the cabin. Gradually he became Roger´s substitute father. Yvonne lived long enough to bring up Roger and then she died of tuberculosis. Royal, meanwhile, living a settled life with Emma in the big house and Yvonne in the cabin, became the first mayor of the town he was credited with founding. He nearly ignored his children, Ruby and Jeremy, while he lived a public life and one that brought him both influence and some wealth. Now Royal is 78 and dying of cancer. Propped up in a borrowed hospital bed overlooking his twenty acres, he is by turns cantankerous and painfully in need of nursing. Emma is old now too, and she has taken in a young convent bred Indian woman, Mary-Ann, to help her during Royal´s last days. When she senses that Royal´s end is near, Emma asks Ruby and Jeremy to come home and say goodbye to their father, and, at Royal´s request, she also invites Roger LaPointe. She hopes for reconciliation, relief from her sense of failure as both mother and wife. With his two best friends, his doctor and his lawyer, Royal has embarked on one last entrepreneurial adventure. Together the three of them are drilling for oil on his lawyer´s acreage outside of Linden. Royal´s son Jeremy, see this as both a way into his father´s affections and additional money in his inheritance. Ruby, who grew up looking after Jeremy, and hating Roger because he was the only child Royal paid attention to, concentrates on trying to make new contact with her mother. Roger comes back, as he does every summer to sketch and paint in Yvonne´s cabin, finds out from Monica, the reporter on the Linden paper, that Royal is dying and he is welcome in Emma´s house. The Murdochs are news now that Royal is dying, and Monica is curious about what is going on there. When a travelling circus and carny show comes to town Jeremy, who is a drinker, chooses that night to
