Download or read book Memories of Winter Ball written by Lou Hernández and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-05-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an oral history of the Latin American baseball leagues of the mid-20th century. Interviews with dozens of former major league players, who participated in the winter leagues of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico and Venezuela, provide a fascinating view of life in all of these countries during the most nostalgic era of baseball. For the majority of the players, it was the first time in their lives living in a foreign country; some of the more fortunate made trips to the Caribbean Series. The players' recollections range from their experiences on and off the field, to where they lived, what they ate, the ballparks, other players and irrepressible fans. The stories are often juxtaposed against the backdrop of Latin American political history, adding to the unique international flavor.

Download or read book Remembering War written by J. M. Winter and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a masterful volume on remembrance and war in the twentieth century. Jay Winter locates the fascination with the subject of memory within a long-term trajectory that focuses on the Great War. Images, languages, and practices that appeared during and after the two world wars focused on the need to acknowledge the victims of war and shaped the ways in which future conflicts were imagined and remembered. At the core of the "memory boom" is an array of collective meditations on war and the victims of war, Winter says. The book begins by tracing the origins of contemporary interest in memory, then describes practices of remembrance that have linked history and memory, particularly in the first half of the twentieth century. The author also considers "theaters of memory"-film, television, museums, and war crimes trials in which the past is seen through public representations of memories. The book concludes with reflections on the significance of these practices for the cultural history of the twentieth century as a whole.

Her best friend, Taliba Jones, accompanies Winter on this never-ending quest for personal acceptance and understanding, yet there are times when Winter feels as if she's destined to be alone, and a failure in her endeavors. Then comes the day Winter's mother presents her with a curious heirloom-an ancient bracelet that is bequeathed to the women in her family at the age of thirteen. Winter's dreams soon become a doorway to the past, as she bears witness to the magical awakening of bracelet owners past. Forever changed by their newfound abilities, will Winter be next in this long line of girls whose lives are touched by the bracelet's power?

Book excerpt: Do you sometimes find it difficult to engage your loved one with dementia? To help them stay calm in the midst of an emotional reaction? To find activities you can share with them that encourage peaceful interaction? This book can help. Winter (A Season of Memories) is the second in a series of four books highlighting childhood memories from each of the four seasons. Paging through this book is an activity that will capture your loved one's attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax. People with dementia often have difficulty with short-term memory, but many of their long-term memories are intact. As your loved one is reminded of the activities of childhood, they may be inspired to talk about their own childhood or the joy they experienced raising their own children. The childhood memories included in this book are simple ones that will be familiar to all seniors, such as building a snowman, cutting out paper snowflakes, making snow angels, and experiencing the joy of Christmas. Each "memory" is a short, uplifting story of a few sentences in large-print text illustrated by a full-page, full-color photo. At Sunny Street Books, we design books specifically for seniors with dementia. Families, caregivers, and memory care staff can share our books with the people they care for.

Download or read book Like Snowflakes written by B. a. Harper and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-11-07 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I originally wrote this collection, back in 2012 for Christmas and never really intended for them to be published. You see, they are very personal to me, I was taken from my family, when I was a boy and grew up hoping that they would one day, come looking for me. But that was not to be, at least not yet. But a man can dream. The idea behind this collection was to write a collection of Christmas stories, all based around a different Christmas story tradition. Each with its own internal logic and tone, despite all of them being set around the same family. That is why some of the stories are realistic and others are more fantastical.
