Book excerpt: According to American Demographics magazine, by the year 2010 the number of married couples without children is expected to increase by nearly 50%, to nearly 31 million. The non-profit organization, Childless By Choice, reports that one in seven married couples in the United States is consciously deciding not to have children. For more married couples than ever before, their life plan together does not include raising a family. Yet, as these numbers grow, in many ways society continues to frown on the choice not to have children. Although more couples are making this decision, they often feel misunderstood, and face societal misperceptions about themselves, their marriage, and their choice not to have children. Through candid interviews and photographs, Families of Two: Interviews with Happily Married Couples Without Children by Choice takes us into the lives of happily married couples without children by choice. It dispels the myths often associated with this choice, helps couples who are deciding whether to have children, and offers insight to friends and family of couples who have chosen or may choose not to have children. Families of Two expands our ways of understanding marriage in today’s society, and gives examples of roadmaps for marriage without children. Families of Two celebrates the many people who are living lives that do not include parenthood, and the many ways to live happily ever after.
Download or read book Levittown written by David Kushner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decade after World War II, one entrepreneurial family helped thousands of people buy into the American dream of owning a home, not just any home, but a good one, with all the modern conveniences. The Levitts--two brothers, William and Alfred, and their father, Abe--pooled their talents in land use, architecture, and sales to create story book town with affordable little houses. They laid out the welcome mat, but not to everyone. Levittown had a whites-only policy. This is the story that unfolded in Levittown, PA, one unseasonably hot summer in 1957 on a quiet street called Deepgreen Lane. There, a white Jewish Communist family named Wechsler secretly arranged for a black family, the Myers, to buy the little pink house next door. What followed was an explosive summer of violence that would transform their lives, and the nation. It would lead to the downfall of a titan, and the integration of the most famous suburb in the world. It's a story of hope and fear, invention and rebellion, and the power that comes when ordinary people take an extraordinary stand.
Download or read book Two Families written by Harold Johnson and published by Purich Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Nations Elders interpreted treaties as instruments that gave Europeans the right to settle here, share resources, and build a relationship of equality with those who were here before. These elders did not intend the treaties to allow the subjugation and impoverishment of First Nations, or give settler governments the right to legislate every aspect of First Nations activities. In an easy to read narrative, Harold Johnson presents an eloquent view, on behalf of a people, of what treaties represent, including the justice system and reconciliation of laws, resources and taxation, assimilation, leadership and sovereignty, Constitutional rights, youth, and relations between next generations.

Download or read book Two Families West written by Stephen S. Pickering and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Omaha to Oakland, from Coffeyville to Contra Costa County, two immigrant families act out the American dream. This true story of two Midwestern families begins in England and Prussia, and hopscotches across the U.S. to chronicle the lives of the Foltzes and Pickerings. Settled in Omaha and small-town Kansas respectively, they seek advancement – through jobs, romance, higher education, lower humidity. And advancement, for most, leads west. Their narrative is the story of America writ small, in sharply rendered profi les: of Clarence Foltz, Omaha physician and thrower of dinner-table bones; Ruth, his wife, diffi dent but weary of hot summers and capable of hurling dishes when the subject is his philandering; their four daughters, who form a string quartet and build their own couture. Th e youngest becomes a stewardess in the pioneer days of commercial aviation. The Pickerings have their own quirks. Th omas, scion of a prosperous English farming family, chucks it all and joins the 1851 gold rush in Australia. His brother John, a newly minted lawyer, goes to Kansas to be a farmer. Divorce scatters Thomas’s family; a son invests (unwisely) in California orange groves. The two clans connect in Depression-era Seattle when George Pickering meets Ethel Foltz. Th ey marry, and World War II prods an ingathering of the family to California, where Clarence and Ruth now reside, escaping Omaha’s weather. Some serve in the Pacifi c Th eater. In postwar Oakland Ethel indulges her love of music, studies voice and makes prominent friends. As the years begin to claim family members, some branches will die out. If there is a moral, it is the importance and comfort of memory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One might think that a common name such as Brown would lead to an ordinary family. That is not the case for this family. Descended from John Brown and his family, who traveled on board the Mayflower, they descended from the Kings and Queens of Europe and can be traced back to the Merovingian Kings of France and the Sea Kings of Norway. Among the most notable ancestors are John Brown of the Mayflower, Robert Dudley (a favorite of Queen Elizabeth), the Lords of Kerr in Selkirk, Scotland, the Dukes of Northumberland, and the Douglas family. The Colaw/Coler/Kohler family shares the same German ancestors as President Roosevelt and includes the Comte Jean de Graf in Picardy, France."--
