Download or read book THE UNTOLD STORIES written by KASHVI ROHATGI and published by Manojvm Publishing House. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of short stories of fourteen women who have worked in the field of science and technology. This book narrates their professional journeys and celebrates their success, while also highlighting certain gender biases faced by them. I have often heard this remark inadvertently made by males, in general, while driving on the road, “No wonder it’s a woman driver.” This has always sparked a question in my mind – Are professions stereotyped? Are there professions marked as “Only for men.” Though we are living in the twenty-first century and see a plethora of women being successful and soaring to heights, yet I wonder if gender bias still exists in our society. A huge amount of importance is being placed on gender equality and inclusivity and things have drastically changed for the better as compared to my grandmother times. If both men and women are equal, then why do we need to highlight “Gender equality.” Does this mean that males regard females as less smart and less efficient? Maybe always not but in a few instances, it continues. While writing this book, I interviewed female research scholars, doctors, IT professionals, lecturers, and some homemakers to ask this question – if they faced incidents involving gender bias. To my surprise, some of them did, while others did not. Some of them went on to share these incidents, while some didn’t want to. The common pattern I observed among women in the field of Science and Technology was related to delayed promotion due to their prioritising their families or not being considered smart enough. The other issue was long hours or rather odd hours of working to complete a project deadline making it at times difficult for women to do it for obvious reasons of safety and security. Even with the same hours of education and hard work, female doctors continued to be addressed as “Sisters” and some female IT professionals weren’t considered competent at times, due to their gender.

Download or read book The Wonder Crew written by Susan Saint Sing and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wonder Crew presents the fascinating story of how the salty coach of the Annapolis crew team, Coach Richard Glendon, seized the sport of rowing first from the Ivy League schools and then the imposing British with a new style both uniquely American and very much his own. Glendon took a group of young midshipmen with humble origins and dominated a sport once the domain of the privileged. After stunning the Ivy Leagues in race after race, the US Naval Academy team won a shot at the Olympics. Their task was nearly impossible: for hundreds of years, the British Navy ruled the world and their supremacy of the seas naturally made them dominant in the sport of rowing. With the hopes of a nation, Navy went into the heart of Europe and in thrilling fashion defeated the heavily favored Brits to win the gold medal in 1920. With Glendon's new American style, the US won Gold for forty straight years, the longest winning streak in any single sport in Olympic history. Rich in history, with brave characters, American ingenuity, and dramatic training and competition, Susan Saint Sing's The Wonder Crew is the first comprehensive account of the 1920 Olympic Navy crew team and their inspirational coach who forged the dramatic story of their quest for Olympic gold.

Download or read book Marvel Comics written by Sean Howe and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The defining, behind-the-scenes chronicle of one of the most extraordinary, beloved, and dominant pop cultural entities in America’s history -- Marvel Comics – and the outsized personalities who made Marvel including Martin Goodman, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby. “Sean Howe’s history of Marvel makes a compulsively readable, riotous and heartbreaking version of my favorite story, that of how a bunch of weirdoes changed the world…That it’s all true is just frosting on the cake.” —Jonathan Lethem For the first time, Marvel Comics tells the stories of the men who made Marvel: Martin Goodman, the self-made publisher who forayed into comics after a get-rich-quick tip in 1939, Stan Lee, the energetic editor who would shepherd the company through thick and thin for decades and Jack Kirby, the WWII veteran who would co-create Captain America in 1940 and, twenty years later, developed with Lee the bulk of the company’s marquee characters in a three-year frenzy. Incorporating more than one hundred original interviews with those who worked behind the scenes at Marvel over a seventy-year-span, Marvel Comics packs anecdotes and analysis into a gripping narrative of how a small group of people on the cusp of failure created one of the most enduring pop cultural forces in contemporary America.

Download or read book Tinderbox The Untold Story of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire and the Rise of Gay Liberation written by Robert W. Fieseler and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner • Edgar Award (Best Fact Crime) Winner • Lambda Literary's Judith A. Markowitz Award for Emerging LGBTQ Writers Finalist • Housatonic Book Award (Nonfiction) Finalist • Randy Shilts Award for Gay Nonfiction A Stonewall Honor Book in Nonfiction (American Library Association) Best Book of the Year: Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal and Shelf Awareness An essential work of American civil rights history, Tinderbox mesmerizingly reconstructs the 1973 fire that devastated New Orleans’ subterranean gay community. Buried for decades, the Up Stairs Lounge tragedy has only recently emerged as a catalyzing event of the gay liberation movement. In revelatory detail, Robert W. Fieseler chronicles the tragic event that claimed the lives of thirty-one men and one woman on June 24, 1973, at a New Orleans bar, the largest mass murder of gays until 2016. Relying on unprecedented access to survivors and archives, Fieseler creates an indelible portrait of a closeted, blue- collar gay world that flourished before an arsonist ignited an inferno that destroyed an entire community. The aftermath was no less traumatic—families ashamed to claim loved ones, the Catholic Church refusing proper burial rights, the city impervious to the survivors’ needs—revealing a world of toxic prejudice that thrived well past Stonewall. Yet the impassioned activism that followed proved essential to the emergence of a fledgling gay movement. Tinderbox restores honor to a forgotten generation of civil-rights martyrs.

Download or read book Las Vegas the Untold Stories written by John Romero and published by Abbott Press. This book was released on 2012-08-14 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youre about to enter a city that has no equal. It was built by extraordinary people with imaginative minds. Did they drink? Not sure, but why else would they build it in a Nevada desert? Some say you can go anywhere in the world and discover that people not only know about Las Vegas--theyd give anything to get there. True. As soon as I graduated from college I took an all-night bus to reach a city Id heard of, but never seen. I stayed 30 years. Damn good years, too. And the mystique of the entertainers and the film stars and the elaborate restaurants and 24-hour-a-day casinos never wore off. I spent 20 of my years at the Sahara, on the Strip, got inside the gambling business in the 60s and loved it. Helped it, too, with my writing and my inventions. The Mob was still around in those days. They were the first venture capitalists and owned a piece of every casino in town. Did that stop anyone from having a good time? Of course not. Gradually the Mob faded away--which is what happens when an FBI office with 15 agents sets up shop in town. But the gaiety didnt stop for a second, even when corporations realized they were the big guys now. Our Sahara entertainment director stunned us in 1964 when he made a deal with The Beatles to play two shows. I met the boys after dark at a small Las Vegas airport, rode with them to the Sahara and helped get them to their suite before teen age girls tore their clothes off. So take a chance, have a seat and enjoy that drink in front of you. Its time to start the show. --John Romero

Download or read book The Friendly Orange Glow written by Brian Dear and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when Steve Jobs was only a teenager and Mark Zuckerberg wasn’t even born, a group of visionary engineers and designers—some of them only high school students—in the late 1960s and 1970s created a computer system called PLATO, which was light-years ahead in experimenting with how people would learn, engage, communicate, and play through connected computers. Not only did PLATO engineers make significant hardware breakthroughs with plasma displays and touch screens but PLATO programmers also came up with a long list of software innovations: chat rooms, instant messaging, message boards, screen savers, multiplayer games, online newspapers, interactive fiction, and emoticons. Together, the PLATO community pioneered what we now collectively engage in as cyberculture. They were among the first to identify and also realize the potential and scope of the social interconnectivity of computers, well before the creation of the internet. PLATO was the foundational model for every online community that was to follow in its footsteps. The Friendly Orange Glow is the first history to recount in fascinating detail the remarkable accomplishments and inspiring personal stories of the PLATO community. The addictive nature of PLATO both ruined many a college career and launched pathbreaking multimillion-dollar software products. Its development, impact, and eventual disappearance provides an instructive case study of technological innovation and disruption, project management, and missed opportunities. Above all, The Friendly Orange Glow at last reveals new perspectives on the origins of social computing and our internet-infatuated world.

Download or read book Crash on J Bird Road written by Van Griffin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of the book Crash on J Bird Road is basically the story of my best friend and his tumultuous journey through life. It was a journey that eventually led to his ultimate demise. I wanted to let the reader know that up front because even though his story is one worth telling, this book is really about me, my politics and certain events that shaped my thinking. I have intertwined my best friends story with my life story throughout this book. Hopefully, you will understand, by the end, how his journey, and my own, connect to form the thought process I have toward life as I now see it. You see, I am a Black Republican living in the Deep South. There is not many of us in this country but the ones most of us see do not resemble myself. I am a long haired hippie that wears baggy clothes and only has one suit that I wear to funerals and weddings. I will probably wear it to my funeral. My main reasoning for writing this book is to let the world know that all Republicans are not the same and we all have different reasons why that party is our choice. We all dont believe in the same things nor have identical morals. And lastly, but most importantly, I want everyone to know we are NOT all Conservatives. In my case, the choice to be a Republican is a very controversial one, as you can imagine. It is not only controversial to my family but to society as a whole. Black people are supposed to be Democrats. ALL black people. This book is not about race or money or anything of that nature. It mainly focuses on the dangers of dependency and it gives two completely different versions of how too much of it can be a detriment to ones self and ones life as a whole. It is also about the dangers of not paying attention and not finding the reasons of why we do the things we do as human beings. My life has been one long journey of hustling and finding a way to make it in this world NOT doing things by the book. And as you will read, you will see that I made it in a very unorthodox fashion.

Download or read book Kalahandi The Untold Story written by Dr Tapan Kumar Pradhan and published by Kohinoor Books. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-three delightful real life stories and fifteen heart touching poems describe in graphic details the economic and sexual exploitation of poor tribal people of Kalahandi by scheming moneylenders, businessmen, local contractors, politicians and indifferent bureaucrats. The stories have been originally written in English, while the poems have been translated from the original Odia. For his poem collection on Kalahandi the author had won Sahitya Akademi's Golden Jubilee prize for poetry in 2007. Once known as the “rice bowl” of Odisha, Kalahandi became infamous for large scale starvation deaths in the 1980s. The agrarian economy of Kalahandi was devastated following a 20 year long famine starting in 1965. Poor people in interior pockets died in hordes although Kalahandi district as a whole remained rice surplus even during the famine decades. Therefore the author contends that, although the famine was a natural calamity, the starvation deaths were an avoidable man made disaster. The stories and poems included in this book are written in a very simple language, in the form of funny real life anecdotes. But underneath their humorous exterior, these highly symbolic stories offer in-depth diagnosis as well as practical solutions to various grassroots level socio-economic problems in a penetrating manner.

This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This colourful and thoroughly researched history of the Lord Delamere branch of the British aristocracy focuses on the famous Vale Royal Abbey in Cheshire, England. The Cholmondeley family, who owned the Abbey throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, are described in lavish and intimate detail as they maneuvered to maintain, through three generations, their status as a leading family in the United Kingdom. Beginning in the late 17th century, we follow Charles Cholmondeley as he served as a member of the King’s army in Canada in the war against the French. Part I witnesses the ubiquitous Thomas Cholmondeley who purchased the title ‘Lord (Baron) Delamere’ for £5000 from the British crown in 1821. Part II covers the 2nd Lord Delamere, Hugh Cholmondeley, who led a very sad and difficult life, and experienced the deterioration of Vale Royal. Part III reviews the life of Hugh Cholmondeley, Jnr., 3rd Lord Delamere, his abandonment of Vale Royal Abbey and his relocation to East Africa. Narcissistic Hugh was part of the notorious “happy valley crowd” of Kenya and their lives of debauchery, sex and drugs. The Vale Royal Abbey lives on today, a national treasure and testament to the intriguing lives of those who occupied it over the centuries.

Download or read book The Secret History of Wonder Woman written by Jill Lepore and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Within the origin of one of the world’s most iconic superheroes hides a fascinating family story—and a crucial history of feminism in the twentieth-century. “Everything you might want in a page-turner…skeletons in the closet, a believe-it-or-not weirdness in its biographical details, and something else that secretly powers even the most “serious” feminist history—fun.” —Entertainment Weekly The Secret History of Wonder Woman is a tour de force of intellectual and cultural history. Wonder Woman, Jill Lepore argues, is the missing link in the history of the struggle for women’s rights—a chain of events that begins with the women’s suffrage campaigns of the early 1900s and ends with the troubled place of feminism a century later. Lepore, a Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer, has uncovered an astonishing trove of documents, including the never-before-seen private papers of Wonder Woman’s creator, William Moulton Marston. The Marston family story is a tale of drama, intrigue, and irony. In the 1920s, Marston and his wife brought into their home Olive Byrne, the niece of Margaret Sanger, one of the most influential feminists of the twentieth century. Even while celebrating conventional family life in a regular column that Marston and Byrne wrote for Family Circle, they themselves pursued lives of extraordinary nonconformity. Marston, internationally known as an expert on truth—he invented the lie detector test—lived a life of secrets, only to spill them on the pages of Wonder Woman. Includes a new afterword with fresh revelations based on never before seen letters and photographs from the Marston family’s papers, and 161 illustrations and 16 pages in full color.
