Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Monsters are Due in Madison Square Garden, as Herb Fry told his story, his friend Daniel Spiegel mentioned his own association with mobster Meyer Lansky. In Star Spangled Knuckle Duster, we hear the full story of this encounter, which pits Lansky’s boys against dark forces at work in New York. In a tale more hard-boiled than the eggs on a Seder Plate, they face the Nazis of the German American Bund, who appear to have their very own costumed comic book hero on their team. But the anti-fascist mobsters also have help in the shape of the mysterious Donna Meyrink.

Prepare yourself for a trip into the cinema's heart of darkness to discover an early talkie whose soundtrack is a killer.
Download or read book Finding Jung written by Frank N. McMillan and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available electronically in an open-access, full-text edition from the Texas A&M University Libraries' Digital Repository at http://oaktrust.library.tamu.edu/handle/1969.1/146844. Frank N. McMillan Jr., a country boy steeped in the traditional culture of rural Texas, was summoned to a life-long quest for meaning by a dream lion he met in the night. On his journey, he followed the lead of the founder of analytical psychology, Carl Jung, and eventually established the world’s first professorship to advance the study of that field. McMillan, born and raised on a ranch near Calvert, was an Aggie through and through, with degrees in geology and petroleum engineering. As an adult working near Bay City, Texas, he was lunching in a country café when by chance he met abstract expressionist painter Forrest Bess, who was ecstatically waving a letter he had received from Jung himself. The artist’s enthusiastic description of Jung as a master psychologist, soul doctor, and healer led McMillan to the Jung Center in Houston, where he began reading Jung’s Collected Works. McMillan frequently said, “Jung saved my life.” Finding Jung: Frank N. McMillan Jr., a Life in Quest of the Lion captures McMillan’s journey through the words of his own journals and through reflections by his son, Frank III. David Rosen, the holder of the first endowed McMillan professorship at Texas A&M University, adds insights to the book, and the late Sir Laurens van der Post, whom the elder McMillan met at the Houston Jung Center in 1979, authored a foreword to the book before his death. This is a story that sheds light on the inner workings of the self as well as the Jungian understanding of the Self. In often lyrical language, it gives the human background to a major undertaking in the dissemination of Jungian scholarship and provides a personal account of a life lived in near-mythic dimensions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailing is a proud American tradition and 'Windjamming to China' evokes that tradition in a way that it will never be forgotten. 'Windjamming to China' sails on the fringes of history. It covers the first half of the twentieth century, a time when almost all wind-driven vessels of the sailing age had been replaced by steam and diesel.In the larger sense, the book is about the American sailor, a folk character and even a hero, who speaks through the mists of 200 years of history, shouting for recognition. The American sailor was born on the icy shores of Plymouth, he was rocked by the waves.

Book excerpt: With the collapse of the back elevation of our tenement we were shipped out to one of those new housing schemes being built on the outskirts of Glasgow and I hated leaving the soo-side behind. I kept going back for this is where I felt I belonged. In this book I have tried to keep alive those memories that people of my generation can all relate to, just ordinary everyday things we all done in the Gorbals and Oatlands and which are forever embedded in our minds, not forgetting walks over to the toon either. I left Glasgow when I was 20 years old (48 years ago) but like most exiles, Glasgow has never left us.
Download or read book The Soccer Diaries written by Michael J. Agovino and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although soccer had long been the world’s game when Michael J. Agovino first encountered it in 1982, here it was just a poor cousin to American football, to be found on obscure UHF channels and in foreign magazines. But as Agovino himself passionately pursued soccer, Americans got wise and turned it into one of the most popular sports in the country. Agovino’s love affair with soccer is a portrait of the game’s culture and an intimate history of the sport’s coming of age in the United States. Agovino’s quest takes him from the unkempt field in the Bronx where he taught himself to play to some of the sport’s most storied venues and historic matches. With Agovino we travel from school fields to Giants Stadium, then from England to Germany, Italy, and Spain, along the way taking in the final days of the North American Soccer League, the 1994 World Cup, and the birth of Major League Soccer. Offering the perspective of fan, player, and journalist, Agovino chronicles his obsession with the sport and its phenomenal evolution.

They meet Hampus Cedergren – a local police officer who most definitely does not welcome the group, particularly Nadia and her methods of interrogation.
