Download or read book On The Wing of Speed written by Donald T. Phillips and published by Donald T Phillips. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early days of 1781 cast a cold shadow over the downtrodden American Continental army. Mutiny, the recent disastrous losses in South Carolina at Camden and Charleston, and Benedict Arnold's betrayal called General George Washington's leadership into question. Faced with the possibility of either a crushing defeat or a brilliant victory, Washington's loyalty to the fledgling United States compelled him to make a bold offensive stroke in the late summer of 1781. In less than a month, he marched the combined American and French armies to Yorktown, Virginia nearly 450 miles south of their encampment at New York to face the might of the British army. Through a riveting mixture of fact and dialogue, noted author Donald T. Phillips chronicles the remarkable events of the Siege of Yorktown. From dramatic artillery assaults to the celebrated American and French attacks and, finally, to the incredible British surrender, On The Wing Of Speed delivers a thrilling tale of courage, strength, and devotion.

Download or read book The Riddles of the Sphinx written by Anna Shechtman and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A surprising and ambitious investigation of language and the varied ways women resist the paradoxes of patriarchy both on and off the page."—New York Times Combining the soul-baring confessional of Brain on Fire and the addictive storytelling of The Queen’s Gambit, a renowned puzzle creator’s compulsively readable memoir and history of the crossword puzzle as an unexpected site of women’s work and feminist protest. The indisputable “queen of crosswords,” Anna Shechtman published her first New York Times puzzle at age nineteen, and later, helped to spearhead the The New Yorker’s popular crossword section. Working with a medium often criticized as exclusionary, elitist, and out-of-touch, Anna is one of very few women in the field of puzzle making, where she strives to make the everyday diversion more diverse. In this fascinating work—part memoir, part cultural analysis—she excavates the hidden history of the crossword and the overlooked women who have been central to its creation and evolution, from the “Crossword Craze” of the 1920s to the role of digital technology today. As she tells the story of her own experience in the CrossWorld, she analyzes the roles assigned to women in American culture, the boxes they’ve been allowed to fill, and the ways that they’ve used puzzles to negotiate the constraints and play of desire under patriarchy. The result is an unforgettable and engrossing work of art, a loving and revealing homage to one of our most treasured, entertaining, and ultimately political pastimes.
Download or read book The Upstairs Delicatessen written by Dwight Garner and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garner gathers a literary chorus to capture the joys of reading and eating in this comic, personal classic. Reading and eating, like Krazy and Ignatz, Sturm und Drang, prosciutto and melon, Simon and Schuster, and radishes and butter, have always, for me, simply gone together. The book you’re holding is a product of these combined gluttonies. Dwight Garner, the beloved New York Times critic and the author of Garner’s Quotations, serves up the intertwined pleasures of books and food. The product of a lifetime of obsessively reading, eating, and every combination therein, The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading is a charming, emotional memoir, one that only Garner could write. In it, he records the voices of great writers and the stories from his life that fill his mind as he moves through the sections of the day and of this book: breakfast, lunch, shopping, the occasional nap, drinking, and dinner. Through his lifelong infatuation with these twin joys, we meet the man behind the pages and the plates, and a portrait of Garner, eager and insatiable, emerges. He writes with tenderness and humor about his mayonnaise-laden childhood in West Virginia and Naples, Florida (and about his father’s famous peanut butter and pickle sandwich), his mind-opening marriage to a chef from a foodie family (“Cree grew up taking leftover frog legs to school in her lunch box”), and the words and dishes closest to his heart. This is a book to be savored, though it may just whet your appetite for more.
Download or read book Dollars to Donuts written by Sudie Gal and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone loves a captivating story, but seldom do we recognize God calling us to live one! Especially while wading through the floodwaters. The Gospels reveal the real cost of following Jesus. It cost the disciples dearly to follow Him--cost in terms of their families, jobs and livelihoods, their fortunes, securities in the familiar, even their lives... When Sudie Gal was reborn in the Holy Spirit in July of 1977, she never could have imagined then the painful cost of following Jesus the rest of her days. He would eventually ask nearly everything of her as she found herself caregiving for her defiant, elderly mother in her dementia. God may call you to one day leave all the people and things you love most. Perhaps He already has. If so, possibly He's guiding you to be the character that overcomes in the great story of your life! Just remember, you are never alone! He is with you always! Let Jesus be your Rock! He is available. Able. And amazingly, all that you need! Here now in this testimony of joyously surviving by His Divine Guidance, Sudie shows us through her torturous trials, the tremendous cost of her faith walk--even carried by Jesus, on His great shoulders through the floodwaters to high ground. Rescued, released, redeemed! "Godspeed!" ("Prosperous journey!") is this author's prayer for you! By our trials and scars we become most assuredly one of His Overcomers! Hallelujah! "Dollars to donuts"--an old-world expression meaning a certainty, a pseudo-betting term. "I'll bet my dollars to your donuts (or buttons, cobwebs--whatever you have of no value) that I'm right!" was one of her mother's favorite sayings--as she was always "right," and everyone else could just go, well, they could just go.

It’s Christmastime again in Fallingbrook, Wisconsin. Emily has truly decked the halls of her donut shop and decorated her donuts with festive designs from green and red frosting to snowflake sprinkles. For the annual Ice and Lights Festival, she’s commissioned a sculpture with three ice-carved donut shapes to form a holey snowman, Frosty the Donut. She has one Christmas wish this year—to spend some time under the mistletoe with a certain detective. But the holidays just aren’t the same without an unexpected disaster or two. A tour bus on its way to the festival has crashed and a snowstorm has left all the shaken passengers stranded and shivering. Emily and her friends open their homes to shelter the traveling families, while the bus driver is admitted to the hospital for his injuries. But the following morning, Emily discovers his body—buried beneath Frosty the Donut. The bus passengers show little sympathy for the man who dashed through the snow so badly, some claiming he was under the influence while behind the wheel. Emily also discovers that the driver had a history with folks in Fallingbrook. With multiple motives for murder piling up, it will take a Christmas miracle for Emily to solve this crime . . . Praise for Boston Scream Murder “Spooky delights don’t discourage a murderer in small town Wisconsin. . . . Cozy fare with a dollop of moonlight mist.” —Kirkus Reviews Includes delicious recipes!
