Download or read book Fire in the Ashes written by Jonathan Kozol and published by Crown. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerful and culminating work about a group of inner-city children he has known for many years, Jonathan Kozol returns to the scene of his previous prize-winning books, and to the children he has vividly portrayed, to share with us their fascinating journeys and unexpected victories as they grow into adulthood. For nearly fifty years, Jonathan has pricked the conscience of his readers by laying bare the savage inequalities inflicted upon children for no reason but the accident of being born to poverty within a wealthy nation. But never has his intimate acquaintance with his subjects been more apparent, or more stirring, than in Fire in the Ashes, as Jonathan tells the stories of young men and women who have come of age in one of the most destitute communities of the United States. Some of them never do recover from the battering they undergo in their early years, but many more battle back with fierce and often jubilant determination to overcome the formidable obstacles they face. As we watch these glorious children grow into the fullness of a healthy and contributive maturity, they ignite a flame of hope, not only for themselves but also for our society.

This book was released on 2024-09-09 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of several stories, as well as poems and other writings. What unites them is the notion of random connections with others, and with places, the natural world, and the imagination. Thus, a young man has three chance encounters on a trip to Europe that help him understand his own life. In another story, a young Hawaiian reflects on myth and the natural world as he considers new directions for his future. In another tale, a newspaper article brings back memories of fishing on the Platte River and a killer prizefighter on a Nebraska football field. Chance meetings on a beach and a dead bird leads to Shakespearean thoughts, and the imagination take us to the Greek islands in one case and into the mind of an ant in another. And so, these stories, poems and random thoughts reflect on where mind and imagination can lead, both outward into the world and within oneself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast ride through dizzying scientific extrapolations! When Paleontologist Karen Regan discovers a machine in 550 million year old rock, she is shocked to discover it appears intact. She calls on her former lover, Steve Ryle, to supply his revolutionary microscopic robots to explore the interior of the device. With the help of an engineer, Daltry, the three of them discover more than they dreamed possible: the machine not only is still active, but it has been waiting to deliver a terrible message — a message that cannot be heard, but must be experienced. A message that will transform each of them into something more — or less — than human. How these three explorers react to the gift of the Ediacaran machine will determine whether the human race survives or perishes. Praise for the “Ediacarian Machine” (which forms the first third of The Ediacaran Invasion, and was published in Analog Science Fiction) include: “A very classic skiffy scenario. It has robotics, alien wonders, mysteries to be solved, exploratory adventures, and cosmic scope. It has ethical issues to be worked out. No one is an idiot or a villain, even when they don’t agree. Fans should really like it. RECOMMENDED.” —Lois Tilton, writing in Locus ____________________ Short Novel 35,000 words DANGEROUS IDEAS In the spirit of The Twilight Zone and Golden Age Science Fiction, the Dangerous Ideas collection presents short novels of science fiction that explore the most extreme possibilities--and leave you in wonder.

Book excerpt: "Friday Night Lights meets Unbroken." —Tony Reali | "One of the most profound stories you will ever read." —Ian O'Connor | "Plaschke delivers a masterpiece." —Jeff Pearlman From L.A. Times columnist and ESPN Around the Horn panelist Bill Plaschke, a story of tragedy, triumph, and the remarkable power of high school football in one small California town On November 8, 2018, the Camp Fire ravaged the town of Paradise, California. The fire, which burned up to 80 acres per minute, killed 86 people, and nearly every building and home in the town was reduced to ashes. In a single day, Paradise, a proud working-class town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, saw its population fall from 25,000 to 2,000. The Paradise High football team had long been the town’s source of joy and inspiration. But in the wake of the fire, their season was abruptly cancelled on the eve of the playoffs. Their championship hopes were gone. Their program’s survival seemed doubtful—it wasn’t even clear whether Paradise High would continue to exist. Coach Rick Prinz had planned to retire that year after guiding the Paradise High Bobcats for two decades. But after the fire forever altered his beloved town, he realized he couldn’t walk away. What ensued was the challenge of a lifetime. Of the 104 football players at Paradise, 95 had lost their homes. His varsity squad, which had stood 76 strong the previous season, was down to 22. Most of those who remained were homeless, sleep-deprived, lost. On the first day of spring practice, on a debris-ridden patch of grass at nearby Chico Airport, Prinz’s team didn’t even have a football. It was the humble beginning to a memorable journey. Bill Plaschke, longtime columnist for the Los Angeles Times, followed the Paradise Bobcats throughout a most remarkable season. In this gripping, deeply-reported story of tragedy and resilience, Plaschke reveals the unique power of sports to unite, to inspire, and to heal. As the Paradise players fought to rebuild their broken lives, they found strength in the support of their teammates—and as football returned to Paradise, so, too, did the spirit of the town itself.
