Book excerpt: Advertised as "a new standard for living," the Lustron Home was introduced in 1948 in response to the urgent need for housing for veterans returning from World War II and their rapidly growing families. These enameled steel, prefabricated houses became very popular, and were heavily promoted from 1948 to 1950. Approximately 2,500 went up all over the United States and even South America. This work chronicles the history of the Lustron Corporation--how it got started and why it failed. The architectural differences between the six basic models of the Lustron Home, and how they could be built in as little as two days, are fully described. Also included is a listing that documents the location, model, color and various other particulars of the roughly 2,500 houses completed.

Now it's a race against the clock to try and solve the elaborate riddle the killer has left for the agents. And while they're trying to piece together the puzzle, the murderer is getting ready to conduct a second deadly experiment; one involving eight college students and the things they fear most. Lost in the abundance of clues and suspects, the agents are part of their own experiment- one where time is running out and failure may mean the deaths of many. Will the murderer be found? Will the potential victims be saved? Or will the experiments end up leaving everyone scared to death?

Download or read book Renewing a Modern Denomination written by Andy Goodliff and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an exploration of the renewal of the Baptist Union of Great Britain in the 1990s, the only historic UK denomination which grew in this period. It was an exciting time, with plenty of denominational activity and engagement, both theological and institutional. The book tells this story focusing on the particular individuals involved and the wide-ranging discussions centered around mission and identity, ministry, associating, and ecumenism. It argues that there were competing visions emerging from two different streams of thought which whilst not divisive caused tension. At the end of the decade structural changes were introduced with hope for the new millennium, but the book contends that opportunities were missed for a more deeply theological renewal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Walker, who goes by the name J-Money, was born on the West Side of Chicago, Illinois. He later moved to Chicago’s west suburb, Maywood, Illinois, as a juvenile. Maywood is where he began his string of robberies. He and his gang committed robberies from Maywood to the West Side of Chicago for years. J-Money was arrested for robbery several times as a juvenile and as an adult. After doing time in the penitentiary, he came home a young man. He needed his own money, which led him to getting it the only way he knew how—robbing with his gang. The war also was still on with their rival street. A few of J-Money’s gang members find themselves locked up also. Though J-Money is street, he, too, is a ladies magnet. J-Money is having more sex than a little, which is why at nineteen, he got Lala pregnant a month after he came home from prison. This was also the same age he met a woman whom he fell in love with at first sight. Yvette is twenty-seven and married with five children. Yvette is a neighbor-turned-friend of J-Money’s auntie, Leana. Yvette and her husband, Dub, are on the verge of divorce after repeatedly trying to make it work for, at least, their kids’ sake. J-Money has never been in or believed in love nor has he ever been in a serious relationship. Yvette’s marriage is on the rocks. She has to make a decision not only for her, but her kids too. These are people who are a product of their environment, which is the ghetto. Police brutality, gang violence, poverty, struggle, and risk. J-Money has a flock of girls and is addicted to the street life. Will he leave all the girls alone for his first love or is it just puppy love? Which will he choose, the streets or love? Yvette is married with children and has just inherited a big lump sum of money. Will she leave her husband and find new love? Or will she settle because she wants her kids to have a normal household with mom and dad? Read the book, and you’ll find out because I’m not telling you!

Download or read book Consuming Agency in Fairy Tales Childlore and Folkliterature written by Susan Honeyman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Honeyman looks at manifestations of youth agency (and representations of agency produced for youth) as depicted in fairy tales, childlore and folk literature, investigating the dynamic of ideological manipulation and independent resistance as it can be read or expressed in bodies, first through social puppetry and then through coercive temptation (our consumption replacing the more obvious strings that bind us). Reading tales like Popeye, Hansel & Gretel, and Pinocchio, Honeyman concentrates on the agency of young subjects through material relations, especially where food signifies the invisible strings used to control them in popular discourse and practice, modeling efforts to come out from under the hegemonic handler and take control, at least of their own body spaces, and ultimately finding that most examples indicate less power than the ideal holds.

This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will Prentiss grew up in a broken home, struggling for guidance as a teenager, he moved in with his mother who was part of an Christian group. But he was subjected to violent abuse until he fled in fear of his life. Searching for meaning, still seeking his grounding through faith, he eventually found himself at a mosque and decided to become a Muslim. He became a strong advocate of his new community, married a Muslim woman, and faced discrimination after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But when Muslim friends begin planning to go abroad to carry out jihad, he started working with the FBI. Although he felt compromised and conflicted, he took pride in knowing that he was protecting his community and serving his country-but that did not assuage the guilt he felt in betraying his community. Focused on themes such as morality, justice, and what it means to be an American, this account offers insights into a religion that is deeply misunderstood while sharing the true story of someone weighing the balance between faith and patriotism.
