Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A letter from America, crafted by a pair of beloved aunts, is sent overseas to relatives in Avellino, Italy. Addressed to the parents of three teenage girls, it implores them to send their daughters to the maiden aunts, for it is only in America where opportunity knocks on every door. The girls leave for America filled with dreams, but their dreams shatter after a startling realization. Can they escape misery and poverty and ultimately find joy? Find out as the three sisters carve out their destinies in American Music. The story opens in 1906 as three teenage sisters are greeted by a pair of beloved aunts on a New York City pier. The sisters soon discover their aunts' deceitful reasons for calling them to America. The eldest sister rebels and attempts an escape late one night. On the fire escape, she encounters a beautiful man, a neighbor from the tenement apartment, one flight above. After she reveals the facts of her troubled experience, she accepts his proposal of marriage. The Angenetti family settles and takes root in the slums on the Lower East Side. The head of the household takes number bets for a living, and admits to being a small fish in the syndicate's big pond. As the illicit business grows, so does the family - along with chaos and crime. Chaos increases within the household as gamblers traipse in and out the kitchen to place bets. The family keeps on the move, one step ahead of the cops. The first-born son plays with matches under the third-born infant's crib; the child is left with a claw-like hand. The family's chaotic way of life is taken as matter-of-fact.
Download or read book In the Blink of an Eye written by Stefana Sabin and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From monocles to pince-nez and goggle-eyes, a cultural and technological history of glasses in fact and fiction. This book examines those who wore glasses through history, art, and literature, from the green emerald through which Emperor Nero watched gladiator fights to Benjamin Franklin’s homemade bifocals, and from Marilyn Monroe’s cat-eye glasses to the famed four-eyes of Emma Bovary and Harry Potter. Spectacles are objects that seem commonplace, but In the Blink of an Eye shows that because they fundamentally changed people’s lives, glasses were the wellspring of a quiet social, cultural, and economic revolution. Indeed, one can argue that modernity itself began with the paradigm shift that transformed poor eyesight from a severely limiting disease—treated with pomades and tinctures—into a minor impairment that can be remedied with mechanisms constructed from lenses and wire.
Download or read book With a Little Help from My Fiends written by Michael McCarty and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Michael McCarty's 'A Little Help from My Fiends' truly shines. His collection of short stories is a lovingly created, watered with blood and harvested at the peak of ripeness kind of work. The approach to the collection is so fresh that -- were it a steak -- you would note still a bit of warmth and even a faint pulse. You see, each story in this collection is co-authored with another excellent storyteller. Mark McLaughlin, Terrie Leigh Relf and Dave Miller, to name a few, make appearances. Each short story is prefaced with a few words that identify the co-author, point to an interesting tidbit of the tale's creation, and never fail to show McCarty lauding the co-author while remaining modestly in the background." -- Sylvia Cochran

Download or read book Does It Matter written by Nicholas G. Carr and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2004-04-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, and even since the bursting of the technology bubble, pundits, consultants, and thought leaders have argued that information technology provides the edge necessary for business success. IT expert Nicholas G. Carr offers a radically different view in this eloquent and explosive book. As IT's power and presence have grown, he argues, its strategic relevance has actually decreased. IT has been transformed from a source of advantage into a commoditized "cost of doing business"--with huge implications for business management. Expanding on Carr's seminal Harvard Business Review article that generated a storm of controversy, Does IT Matter? provides a truly compelling--and unsettling--account of IT's changing business role and its leveling influence on competition. Through astute analysis of historical and contemporary examples, Carr shows that the evolution of IT closely parallels that of earlier technologies such as railroads and electric power. He goes on to lay out a new agenda for IT management, stressing cost control and risk management over innovation and investment. And he examines the broader implications for business strategy and organization as well as for the technology industry. A frame-changing statement on one of the most important business phenomena of our time, Does IT Matter? marks a crucial milepost in the debate about IT's future. An acclaimed business writer and thinker, Nicholas G. Carr is a former executive editor of the Harvard Business Review.
