Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you think that we are rascals? Do you see the word ‘silly’ on our foreheads? We expected you to talk about Corona, the steps taken by you to control the spread of Corona. We expected you to declare packages for the farmers whose milk is unsold, vegetables are destroyed and thrown out of the fields. We expected the packages for the workers. We expected you to talk about whether you will definitely end the lockdown and declare some policies for the workers who are walking for hundreds of miles without having food to eat. But what did you say? “Taali Bajao, Thaali Bajao, Ghanti Bajao.” And now, light the lamps. What kind of lamps have you had lightened in the last six years? If you had done it, you would not have asked us to light the lamps. Our decision is final. Final means final. We won’t switch off the lights and light the lamps. Final.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've spent years hoping someone would finally hear me. It's easier not to try anymore... Ten years after leaving his small Minnesota hometown in his rearview mirror for what Nolan Grainger was sure would be the last time, life has decided to throw the talented musician a curveball and send him back to the town he lived in but was never really home. At twenty-eight, Nolan has traveled the world as a successful concert violinist with some of the best symphonies in the country. But success breeds envy, and when Nolan's benefactor and lover decides Nolan has flown high enough, he cruelly clips Nolan's wings. The betrayal and ensuing scandal leaves the violinist's career in shambles and with barely enough money to start fresh somewhere beyond his vindictive ex's powerful reach. But just as he's ready to get his life back on track, Nolan gets the call he's been dreading. After a stroke leaves his father a partial invalid, duty-bound Nolan returns to Pelican Bay and a life he's spent years trying to forget. When he's forced to use the last of his own money to keep from losing the family home, desperation has him turning to the one man he'd hoped never to see again... Even if I could speak, there wouldn't be anyone there to listen... Pelican Bay's golden boy, Dallas Kent, had the quintessential perfect life. Smart, gorgeous, and popular, the baseball phenom was well on his way to a life filled with fame and fortune. But more importantly, he had a one-way ticket out of Pelican Bay and far away from the family who used love as currency and whose high expectations were the law of the land. But a stormy night, sharp highway curve and one bad decision changed everything, leaving Dallas with nothing. Because the accident that took his parents, his future and his crown as the boy who could do no wrong, also stole his voice. Despised for the horrific wreck that ended the lives of two of Pelican Bay's most respected residents, Dallas has retreated to a secluded stretch of land where he's found refuge in a menagerie of unwanted animals that don't care that he once had the world at his feet or that he'll never speak again. But when the quiet, bookish boy he wasn't allowed to notice in school suddenly reappears ten years later at Dallas's wildlife rehab center in desperate need of a job, Dallas is thrust back into a world he's worked hard to escape. Dallas's silence was supposed to send Nolan scurrying, but what if Nolan ends up being the one person who finally hears him? Will two men who've been fleeing from the past finally come home to Pelican Bay for good or will the silence drive them apart forever?

Book excerpt: A missing man sparks a chase through Africa to track down true evil. In a luxury private safari lodge in Kruger National Park, Detective Sergeant Tom Furey has just woken to a bodyguard’s worst nightmare. The VIP in his charge, British Assistant Minister for Defence, Robert Greeves, has vanished. Knowing his career is on the line, Furey vows not to stop until Greeves is found – dead or alive. He and his South African counterpart, Inspector Sannie van Rensburg, go against official orders and start the hunt for the suspected band of terrorists through the outer limits of the National Park to the coastal waters of Mozambique. Increasingly drawn to Tom, Sannie can’t resist becoming more and more involved in his dangerous mission, even risking her job to help him. By the time Tom and Sannie discover that their foes are as elusive and deadly as the stealthy predators of the African bush, it is their lives, and those of their loved ones, that are at risk. This is a fight to the death, and involves a crime beyond anyone’s worst imaginings.
Download or read book Silent Answers written by Sebastian Costard and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-02 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book of short stories is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. Sebastian Costard's Silent Answers is a box of chocolates. I didn't read Costard's stories in the order you see here; I chose them randomly. It doesn't matter; each one was a new experience. I read The Triangle first and felt like a voyeur when a quirky woman entered the story and the life of a stressed attorney. Costard's twists and turns brought Kate Chopin's tales to mind. A story of coming to terms with death and lost friendships in Costard's Sarah's Folly might feel way too familiar for some readers. But the sweetness in this story gives hope to all who have gone through this kind of suffering. In his stories I traveled from France to Latvia to London to China to California to South Carolina and Georgia, Florida, and farther. It's a pleasure to read of places I've visited - or may never visit - and feel as though I were there. Costard has done the traveling for all of us and became steeped in the varied cultures. And because of his writing, I became engulfed in those same cultures as I immersed myself in each story. It's not only the traveling that drew me in. Each character was totally different from others I met throughout the book. Obviously Costard observes and understands human nature. Real people, real problems, but not so real solutions. Just like a box of chocolates, I never knew what I was going to get, but I knew from the first story I would be entertained. The next best thing to being entertained? Learning something. Hostile takeovers, Jewish religious holidays, American Indian history, French wine, Chinese culture, the goodness of caring neighbors - this and more I found inSebastian Costard's Silent Answers. Forrest Gump, your momma was a wise woman. Susan Polonus Mucha Author of Deadly Deception
Download or read book The Silent Majority written by Matthew D. Lassiter and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2007-08-26 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suburban sprawl transformed the political culture of the American South as much as the civil rights movement did during the second half of the twentieth century. The Silent Majority provides the first regionwide account of the suburbanization of the South from the perspective of corporate leaders, political activists, and especially of the ordinary families who lived in booming Sunbelt metropolises such as Atlanta, Charlotte, and Richmond. Matthew Lassiter examines crucial battles over racial integration, court-ordered busing, and housing segregation to explain how the South moved from the era of Jim Crow fully into the mainstream of national currents. During the 1960s and 1970s, the grassroots mobilization of the suburban homeowners and school parents who embraced Richard Nixon's label of the Silent Majority reshaped southern and national politics and helped to set in motion the center-right shift that has dominated the United States ever since. The Silent Majority traces the emergence of a "color-blind" ideology in the white middle-class suburbs that defended residential segregation and neighborhood schools as the natural outcomes of market forces and individual meritocracy rather than the unconstitutional products of discriminatory public policies. Connecting local and national stories, and reintegrating southern and American history, The Silent Majority is critical reading for those interested in urban and suburban studies, political and social history, the civil rights movement, public policy, and the intersection of race and class in modern America.
Download or read book The Silent Guns of Two Octobers written by Theodore Voorhees and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silent Guns of Two Octobers uses new as well as previously under-appreciated documentary evidence to link the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Checkpoint Charlie tank standoff to achieve the impossible—craft a new, thoughtful, original analysis of a political showdown everyone thought they knew everything about. Ultimately the book concludes that much of the Cold War rhetoric the leaders employed was mere posturing; in reality neither had any intention of starting a nuclear war. Theodore Voorhees reexamines Khrushchev’s and Kennedy’s leadership, decision, and rhetoric in light of the new documentary evidence available. Voorhees examines the impact of John F. Kennedy's domestic political concerns about his upcoming first midterm elections on his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis through his use of back-channel dealings with Khrushchev during the lead-up to the crisis and in the closing days when the two leaders managed to reach a settlement.

As if that wasn’t hard enough, she also has to adjust to the hearing culture, which she finds frustrating.
