Download or read book NIGHT PEOPLE and Other Tales of Working New York written by John Pietaro and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-11-03 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NIGHT PEOPLE and Other Tales of Working New York - Preface is by noted historian Paul Buhle. NIGHT PEOPLE is a collection unashamed to be called 'contemporary proletarian literature'. The energy and emotions within these stories are of the people, the workers who make the City run. But this book's scope also reaches into the asphalt itself and the mountains above--heralding the heartbeat of the land mass beneath us, acting as both oracle and protagonist. Night People speaks of those who labor on or who struggle with joblessness, those who strive toward artistic goals or advocate for others, those who face challenges of conscience and those who are simply of the streets. It brings to life the people who provide the soundtrack, the color, the breadth: those who thrive and those who perish in New York's wake. Here is a love song to reality, mourning the anguish and championing the everyday. --Author John Pietaro is a writer and musician. By day, he works in the Labor Movement in NYC.

Download or read book Night time and Sleep in Asia and the West written by Lodewijk Brunt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideas and practices concerning sleep and night-time are constantly changing and widely varied in different cultures and societies. What we do during the day and night is the result of much political struggle. Trade unions, political parties, entrepreneurs, leaders and schools boards, all have an interest in questions of timing for the opening and closing of shops, the starting hours of schools and factories, and the number of hours people have to work and sleep. By drawing together comparative case studies from countries in both Asia and Europe, Night-time and Sleep in Asia and the West allows the reader to track the differences in the cultural importance given to the night, and to compare the ways in which the challenges and opportunities of modernity have been played out in the East and the West.

Book excerpt: Why is it called this name? Because before I was born, my parents, who were superstitious and liked to look for fortune tellers to tell divination, asked someone to pinch their fingers, and didn't ask who the fortune teller was. I didn't know. I heard my grandmother say that it was the result of a very popular fortune teller who went to the next village. This question can be calculated.
