Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young Englishwoman—akin to a Jane Austen heroine—transforms the lives of a couple who has suffered tragic loss in this story of love and redemption Fourteen years after her death, the ghost of their baby daughter, Sarah, haunts world-famous playwright Emmanuel Joyce and his fragile, embittered wife, Lillian. They have each learned to cope in their own way: Emmanuel seduces his secretaries and Lillian keeps photos of her lost child on the dressing table of every hotel they visit. They’re always on the move as they travel from city to city accompanied by Emmanuel’s orphaned, hero-worshipping manager, Jimmy. But now a minor crisis looms: Emmanuel’s latest secretary has taken a near-lethal dose of drugs on the eve of the Joyces’ departure for New York to cast his new play. They need to hire a replacement immediately. Enter stage right: Alberta Young. A clergyman’s daughter from Dorset, Alberta arrives for the interview clutching a copy of Middlemarch. She is unlike anyone Emmanuel, Lillian, or Jimmy has ever known. And little by little, she will transform all their lives. Narrated by four main characters, The Sea Change moves from London to New York to Athens and, finally, to the Greek island of Hydra. The bestselling author of the Cazalet Chronicles delivers a novel about learning to move beyond the past without giving up our memories, and how we can change and grow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athens, the capital of Greece, is a city rich in history, culture, and significance. Known as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, Athens offers a unique blend of ancient and modern influences. The city's historical significance is evident in its iconic landmarks, such as the Acropolis and Parthenon, which draw millions of visitors each year. Athens is not just a city of the past, but a vibrant metropolis that continues to evolve while preserving its cultural heritage. Athens has played a pivotal role in shaping the political, philosophical, and artistic foundations of the Western world. It was in this city that great philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle taught, and where the concept of democracy was first conceived and practiced. The Athenian democracy, though different from modern democratic systems, laid the groundwork for the political systems we see around the world today. Despite its ancient roots, Athens is a bustling modern city. It is home to over three million people and serves as the economic, political, and cultural center of Greece. The city is a melting pot of traditions and contemporary influences, with bustling markets, modern art galleries, and a thriving culinary scene. The juxtaposition of ancient ruins and contemporary buildings creates a unique atmosphere that is both timeless and dynamic. The climate of Athens is another aspect that makes it a fascinating destination. With hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, the city enjoys a Mediterranean climate that is ideal for both locals and tourists. The warm weather allows for outdoor activities and the exploration of its many historical sites throughout the year. Athens' role in international affairs, both historically and currently, cannot be overstated. The city has hosted numerous important events, including the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 and the 2004 Summer Olympics. These events showcased Athens to the world, highlighting its rich heritage and its capability to host large-scale international events. Athens is a city of great historical importance and contemporary relevance. Its contributions to art, philosophy, politics, and sports have left an indelible mark on human history. As you delve into the history and culture of Athens, you will discover a city that is not only a testament to ancient achievements but also a vibrant and dynamic metropolis of today.
Download or read book Milwaukee Television History written by Dick Golembiewski and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Milwaukee - not New York, Chicago or Los Angeleswas the scene of a number of television firsts: The Journal Company filed the very first application for a commercial TV license with the FCC in 1938. The first female program director and news director in a major market were both at Milwaukee stations. The city was a major battleground in the VHF vs. UHF war that began in the 1950s. The battle to put an educational TV station on the air was fought at the national, state and local levels by the Milwaukee Vocational School. WMVS-TV was the first educational TV station to run a regular schedule of colorcasts, and WMVT was the site of the first long-distance rest of a digital over-theair signal." "This detailed story of the rich history of the city's television stations since 1930 is told through facts, anecdotes, and quotations from the on-air talent, engineers, and managers who conceived, constructed, and put the stations on the air. Included are discussions of the many locally-produced shows - often done live - that once made up a large part of a station's broadcast day. Through these stories - some told here for the first time - and the book's extensive photographic images, the history of Milwaukee television comes alive again for the reader." "From the first early tests using mechanical scanning methods in the 1930s, through the first successful digital television tests, the politics, conflicts, triumphs, and failures of Milwaukee's television stations are described in fascinating detail." --Book Jacket.
