Download or read book Olga s War The Memoir of Olga Zervoulakos Owens written by David Rutter and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet "Olga." You won't forget her. Olga was the ninth and last of Angel and Maria Zervoulakos' children and the only girl. He was an officer in the Greek navy, a courtier to the royal household, then a refugee to America where he enlisted in the U.S. Cavalry and was sent to Manila to fight insurgents. He then became the real-life Filipino reincarnation of Sam Spade who played poker with Eisenhower, helped capture spies and adored the opera. Olga was his "Little Princess" who dodged bombs and bullets and ultimately triumphed over the Japanese occupation of Manila in World War II. She was the architect of the plan that saved her family when the Japanese destroyed the city. She had been a child of wealth who, at age 13, was suddenly impoverished and shoved into the night at the point of a Japanese bayonet. All that she had known was gone, except for devotion to a family filled with heroes. She surrendered her childhood, but claimed a dignity, grace and zest for life. She grew up in war. She was stronger than it was. Hers is a grand coming of age story told against the backdrop of incomprehensible hardship. It's a thriller and even more a personal, spiritual revelation. She survived starvation, a brutal military establishment and the murder of 100,000 of her fellow Manilans in February 1945. She saw it, felt it, conquered it. Olga is a wonderful little girl, and then a spectacular woman, whom readers will come to love. David Rutter, the author, spent 40 years as a journalist and wrote millions of words. None mattered more to him than the story of "Olga." David Lynn Rutter spent four decades as an award-winning reporter, columnist, editor and publisher for six newspapers in five states. Rutter was born in Danville, Kentucky, grew up in Indiana and, as did his fellow Kentuckian, Abraham Lincoln, followed destiny to Illinois where he now lives in Evanston, Il., with his wife, Naomi.

Download or read book Twenty Thousand Roads written by David Meyer and published by Villard. This book was released on 2008-01-29 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A terrific biography of a rock innovator that hums with juicy detail and wincing truth. . . . Page after page groans with the folly of the ’60s drug culture, the tragedy of talent toasted before its time, the curse of wealth and the madness of wasted opportunity.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE LOS ANGELES TIMES • NAMED ONE OF THE FIVE BEST ROCK BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ROLLING STONE As a singer and songwriter, Gram Parsons stood at the nexus of countless musical crossroads, and he sold his soul to the devil at every one. His intimates and collaborators included Keith Richards, William Burroughs, Marianne Faithfull, Peter Fonda, Roger McGuinn, and Clarence White. Parsons led the Byrds to create the seminal country rock masterpiece Sweetheart of the Rodeo, helped to guide the Rolling Stones beyond the blues in their appreciation of American roots music, and found his musical soul mate in Emmylou Harris. Parsons’ solo albums, GP and Grievous Angel, are now recognized as visionary masterpieces of the transcendental jambalaya of rock, soul, country, gospel, and blues Parsons named “Cosmic American Music.” Parsons had everything—looks, charisma, money, style, the best drugs, the most heartbreaking voice—and threw it all away with both hands, dying of a drug and alcohol overdose at age twenty-six. In this beautifully written, raucous, meticulously researched biography, David N. Meyer gives Parsons’ mythic life its due. From interviews with hundreds of the famous and obscure who knew and worked closely with Parsons–many who have never spoken publicly about him before–Meyer conjures a dazzling panorama of the artist and his era. Praise for Twenty Thousand Roads “Far and away the most thorough biography of Parsons . . . skewers any number of myths surrounding this endlessly mythologized performer.”—Los Angeles Times “The definitive account of Gram Parsons’ life–and early death. From the country-rock pioneer’s wealthy, wildly dysfunctional family through his symbiotic friendship with Keith Richards, Meyer deftly illuminates one of rock’s most elusive figures.”—Rolling Stone “Meticulously researched . . . Though Meyer answers a lot of long-burning questions, he preserves Parsons’ legend as a man of mystery.”—Entertainment Weekly “Meyer gives Parsons a thorough, Peter Guralnick-like treatment.”—New York Post

Download or read book Owens Valley Revisited written by Gary D. Libecap and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the contemporary West, pressures to more effectively reallocate water to meet growing urban and environmental demands are increasing as environmental awareness grows and climate change threatens existing water supplies. The legacy of Owens Valley raises concerns about how reallocation can occur. Although it took place over seventy years ago, the water transfer from Owens Valley to Los Angeles still plays an important role in perceptions of how water markets work. The memory of Owens Valley transfer is one of theft and environmental destruction at the hands of Los Angeles. In reassessing the infamous transfer, one could say that there was no "theft." Owens Valley landowners fared well in their land and water sales, earning more than if they had stayed in agriculture. In another sense, however, "theft" did occur. The water was not literally stolen, but there was a sharp imbalance in gains from the trade--with most of the benefits going to Los Angeles. Owens Valley, then, demonstrates the importance of distributional issues in water trades when the stakes are large. Los Angeles water rights in the Owens Valley and Mono Basin have again been a front-page issue since 1970. New environmental and recreational values and air pollution concerns have ushered in demands to curtail the shipment of water from source regions for urban use. Owen's Valley Revisited: A Reassesment of the West's First Great Water Transfer carefully explores how these sagas were addressed, considering the costs involved, and alternative approaches that might have resulted in more rapid and less contentious remedies. This analysis offers insights to guide the ongoing conversation about water politics and the future thereof. .
