Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rising Tide The street was very quiet, - except when the barber's children squabbled shrilly, or Baker's livery-stable sent out a few funeral hacks, or when, from a barred window in the ell Of the Payton house, there came a noisy laugh. And always, on the half-hour, the two mules went tinkling along, their neat little feet cupping down over the cobble stones, and their trace-chains swinging and sagging about their heels. The conductor on the car had been on the route so long that he knew many Of his patrons, and nodded to them in a friendly way, and said it was a good day, or too cold for the season; occasionally he imparted information which he thought might be Of interest to them. On this October afternoon of brown fog and occasional dashes Of rain he enlightened a lady with a vaguely sweet face, who signaled him to stop at no. 15. Miss Payton's out, he said, pulling the strap over his head and bringing his car to a standstill; but her ma's at home. I brought the Old lady back on my last trip, just as Miss Freddy was starting Off with that pup Of hers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Rising Tide written by Ronald Inglehart and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-14 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century gave rise to profound changes in traditional sex roles. However, the force of this 'rising tide' has varied among rich and poor societies around the globe, as well as among younger and older generations. Rising Tide sets out to understand how modernization has changed cultural attitudes towards gender equality and to analyze the political consequences of this process. The core argument suggests that women and men's lives have been altered in a two-stage modernization process consisting of (i) the shift from agrarian to industrialized societies and (ii) the move from industrial towards post industrial societies. This book is the first to systematically compare attitudes towards gender equality worldwide, comparing almost 70 nations that run the gamut from rich to poor, agrarian to postindustrial. Rising Tide is essential reading for those interested in understanding issues of comparative politics, public opinion, political behavior, political development, and political sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life at High Tide There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Thus the poet - and poetry, of the old order at least, always waiting upon great events, has found in the high-tide flotations of masterful heroes to fortune themes most flatteringly responsive to its own high tension. The writer of fiction has no such afflatus, no such high pitch of life, as to outward circumstance, in his representation of it, as the poet has; and therefore his may seem to the academic critic the lesser art - but it is nearer to the realities of common human existence. He deals with plain men and women, and the unmajestic moments of their lives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Rising Tide will sink its fangs into you, keeping you awake into the wee hours of the night Could Maura's life get any worse? ...turns out it most certainly can. Isolated and sheltered by her lonely mother, Maura's never been able to make friends. She seems to drive her classmates away—except for the odd times they pay enough attention to torture her—but she doesn’t understand why. Maura considers herself to be a freak of nature, with her unusually pale skin and an aversion to the sun that renders her violently nauseous. Her belief is only worsened by the fact that almost everyone around her keeps their distance. Even her own father deserted her before she was born, leaving Maura alone with her emotionally distant mother, Caelyn. Even though Maura is desperate for answers about her unknown parent, Caelyn remains heartbroken and her daughter can’t bring herself to reopen her mother’s wounds. Or is there a more sinister reason Caelyn refuses to utter a word about her long-lost love? When a cruel prank nearly claims Maura’s life, one of her classmates, Ron, rushes to her rescue. Darkly handsome & mysteriously accepting, Ron doesn’t seem to want to stay away, but Maura is reluctant to get too close, since her mother has announced she’s moving the two of them to Vancouver…nearly 3,000 miles away from their hometown of Indiana, Pennsylvania. If life wasn’t already challenging enough, Maura begins to experience bizarre, physical changes her mother seems hell bent on ignoring, compelling Maura to fear for her own life. Vicious nightmares, blood cravings, failing health and the heart-shattering loss of Ron—as well as the discovery of a tangled web of her own mother's lies—become obstacles in Maura's desperate quest for the unfathomable truth she was never prepared to uncover. ˃˃˃ Sure to become one of the Books to Read of the year, Rising Tide: Dark Innocence isn’t the usual YA vampire tale. Full of Mystery and Suspense, this Vampire Mystery Thriller packs just enough Romance & Humor, while delivering plenty of Dark Fantasy served with a side of the Supernatural.

Maura doesn't live in Castle Dracula in Transylvania, but she must still discover the bloodlines constructing the creature she is destined to become, while overcoming social issues, such as bullying, that rock her world. She is an strong Urban Fantasy female protagonist readers love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rising of the Tide: The Story of Sabinsport Ralph Gardner was only 28. He had graduated six years before at a Western university where for the moment the sins of contemporary business and politics absorbed the interest of the greater part of faculty and students. There was a fine contempt for all existing expressions of life, a fine confidence in their power to create social institutions as well as forms of art which would sweep the world of what they called the worn out. Whatever their professions, they went forth to lay bare the futility and selfishness and greed of the present world. They had no perspective, no charity, no experience, but they had zeal, courage, and the supporting vision of a world Where no man knew want, no woman dragged a weary life through factory or mill, no child was not busy and happy. Never has there poured into the country a group more convinced of its own righteousness and the essen tial selfishness of all who did not see with their eyes or share their confidence in the possibility of re encra tion through system. Like revolutionists in al ages they felt in' themselves the power to make over the 'world and like them they carried their plans carefully diagramed in their pockets.
