Book excerpt: "In the Fall of 2010 I gave an assignment in my Appalachian Literature class at Berea College, telling my students to write their own version of "Where I'm From" poem based on the writing prompt and poem by George Ella Lyon, one of the preeminent Appalachian poets. I was so impressed by the results of the assignment that I felt the poems needed to be preserved in a bound document. Thus, this little book. These students completely captured the complexities of this region and their poems contain all the joys and sorrows of living in Appalachia. I am proud that they were my students and I am very proud that together we produced this record of contemporary Appalachian Life" -- Silas House

Download or read book Bhujia Barons written by Pavitra Kumar and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How a family-run business from humble Bikaner transformed Haldiram into a global, much-loved brand In the early twentieth century, a young man, Ganga Bhishan Agarwal, aka Haldiram, gained a reputation for making the best bhujia in town. Fast-forward a century and the Haldiram’s empire has revenue much greater than that of McDonald’s and Domino’s combined. In Bhujia Barons, Pavitra Kumar tells the riveting story of the Agarwal family in its entirety—a feat never managed before. It begins in dusty, benign Bikaner and traces the rise and rise of this home-grown label, now one of the most-recognized Indian brands in the world. The Haldiram’s story is not an average business story—it’s chock-full of family drama, with court cases, jealousy-fuelled regional expansion, a decades-old trademark battle, and a closely guarded family secret of the famous bhujia. Fast-paced and captivating, this book provides a delicious look into family business dynamics and the Indian way of doing business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this poignant and evocative novel by acclaimed author Kristina McMorris, a country is plunged into conflict and suspicion—forcing a young woman to find her place in a volatile world. Los Angeles, 1941. Violinist Maddie Kern’s life seemed destined to unfold with the predictable elegance of a Bach concerto. Then she fell in love with Lane Moritomo. Her brother’s best friend, Lane is the handsome, ambitious son of Japanese immigrants. Maddie was prepared for disapproval from their families, but when Pearl Harbor is bombed the day after she and Lane elope, the full force of their decision becomes apparent. In the eyes of a fearful nation, Lane is no longer just an outsider, but an enemy. When her husband is interned at a war relocation camp, Maddie follows, sacrificing her Juilliard ambitions. Behind barbed wire, tension simmers and the line between patriot and traitor blurs. As Maddie strives for the hard-won acceptance of her new family, Lane risks everything to prove his allegiance to America, at tremendous cost. Skillfully capturing one of the most controversial episodes in recent American history, Kristina McMorris draws readers into a novel filled with triumphs and heartbreaking loss—an authentic, moving testament to love, forgiveness, and the enduring music of the human spirit. “Readers of World War II fiction will devour Kristina McMorris's Bridge of Scarlet Leaves, a poignant, authentic story of Japanese and American lovers crossed not only by the stars but by the vagaries of war and their own country's prejudices.” —Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us

Download or read book Lincolnites and Rebels written by Robert Tracy McKenzie and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-09 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the start of the Civil War, Knoxville, Tennessee, with a population of just over 4,000, was considered a prosperous metropolis little reliant on slavery. Although the surrounding countryside was predominantly Unionist in sympathy, Knoxville itself was split down the middle, with Union and Confederate supporters even holding simultaneous political rallies at opposite ends of the town's main street. Following Tennessee's secession, Knoxville soon became famous (or infamous) as a stronghold of stalwart Unionism, thanks to the efforts of a small cadre who persisted in openly denouncing the Confederacy. Throughout the course of the Civil War, Knoxville endured military occupation for all but three days, hosting Confederate troops during the first half of the conflict and Union forces throughout the remainder, with the transition punctuated by an extended siege and bloody battle during which nearly forty thousand soldiers fought over the town. In Lincolnites and Rebels, Robert Tracy McKenzie tells the story of Civil War Knoxville-a perpetually occupied, bitterly divided Southern town where neighbor fought against neighbor. Mining a treasure-trove of manuscript collections and civil and military records, McKenzie reveals the complex ways in which allegiance altered the daily routine of a town gripped in a civil war within the Civil War and explores the agonizing personal decisions that war made inescapable. Following the course of events leading up to the war, occupation by Confederate and then Union soldiers, and the troubled peace that followed the war, Lincolnites and Rebels details in microcosm the conflict and paints a complex portrait of a border state, neither wholly North nor South.

Download or read book The Power of Divine Timing written by Joy Yascone Elms and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secret to success in every endeavor is timing. What Divine Time are you on now? Take a look inside to find out! This is The Power of Divine Timing 2019! The Power of Divine Timing 2019 is an annual astrological guide and method that helps readers to nurture the correct source at the right time to create desired results based on astrological timing. You’ve heard the term, “have an attitude of gratitude”; but how can you be gracious if you can’t see the blessings, you’re supposed to be grateful for? Indeed, sometimes we have starved the blessings so much, it’s as if they do not exist, or they have simply withered and died. That’s sad; right? Humans tend to naturally feed the wrong source, challenges. You may also know that whatever we feed, whatever we nurture, grows stronger. You hear this time and time again from wise and prophetic teachers: “Live in the moment.” How do you do that when you don’t know what moment you’re in—or where to place your intention and energy? That’s where The Power of Divine Timing 2019 comes in! This is The Power of Divine Timing 2019—the technique that locates your specific, personal Universal blessings and challenges in real time and simply teaches you how to starve your challenges and to nurture and grow your blessings! The question then becomes: what happens to something that starves? It cannot exist without a source of energy feeding it. So, this, simply put, means you can starve your challenges to death until they have no power to survive and wreak havoc in your life. For, what I have intrinsically found is that when you focus on the blessings in your life, solutions for life’s challenges can be found there. It’s really quite easy. Each chapter focuses on the planet's current transits and movements, how they affect each astrological sign from the perspective of Challenges, Blessings, Change, and how to approach your current chart utilizing The Power of Divine Timing Technique. You should read both your Sun and rising sign. As you get familiar with this year’s challenges and apparent Universal Blessings, you can start to nurture the right source. As you nurture the correct source, you will notice your life shifting, the challenges diminishing, and the blessings increasing. I have included exercises and suggestions for each of the astrological signs, and transits, to assist you in nurturing the right source.
