Download or read book The Brats of Briarcliff written by George Davison Winius and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-04-22 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it might be loosely classified as a memoir, no one has ever written anything quite like this. It describes middle-class childhood in the 1930's through the relationships between five boys, and it breathes of foolishness, fantasy, improbability, and charm. A snake suddenly appears out of a hot air register and disrupts a bridge party, a young violinist forgets how to end his solo at a commencement and plays on (and on), a boat on wheels vibrates itself apart and a mysterious bullhead catfish substitutes for Moby Dick, then vanishes without drowning anybody. The author, a former writer at Time Incorporated who became a distinguished historian, has written an enchanting book, its chapters organized topically rather than sequentially--each devoted to a subject like cowboying, radio serials, wheels, indoor and outdoor games, love of steam locomotives, and discovery of sex. The final chapter suggests that the end of childhood coincides with an awareness that life can be wistful and poignant. And it concludes that buyouts and proto-globalization helped bring an end to that civic and regional integrity which underlay American life before television.

Paragonia is a world empire that thrives on strength and total control. There is no tolerance for independent thought or even the desire for basic human dignity through religion, philosophy, and close family ties. All are outlawed, and those who show this weakness are exploited in highly elaborate public executions. But Jade has a secret. She knows Paragonia's dictator, Owen Fireside, is responsible for her parents' murder. And it is this secret that inoculates her from Paragonia's propaganda and mind-control methods. As Jade plans to murder Fireside in retribution, she isn't aware there are others who also know about her secret. Leaders of the Hostile resistance have been watching her for many years, hoping to turn her and use her as a spy against Paragonia. Their plans include not only overthrowing Fireside's regime, but also destroying the Paragon elites, a highly organized network of families who keep humanity in a machine-like existence for their own purposes. But those of the Paragon trust no one—not even their premier spy and assassin. Will Jade be caught in their web of deception to be used as a weapon of evil instead of a weapon for good? This thought-provoking thriller will keep you engrossed as the deceptive strategies of evil doers try to erase anything that gets in their way.

This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "hilarious" (New York Times Book Review) collection of short stories from the award-winning humorist Simon Rich includes the story that inspired the Seth Rogen comedy An American Pickle. Twenty years ago, Barney the Dinosaur told the nation's children they were special. We're still paying the price. From "one of the funniest writers in America" comes a collection of stories culled from the front lines of the millennial culture wars (Jimmy So, Daily Beast). Rife with failing rock bands, student loans, and participation trophies, Spoiled Brats is about a generation of narcissists -- and the well-meaning boomers who made them that way. A hardworking immigrant is preserved for a century in pickle brine. A helicopter mom strives to educate her demon son. And a family of hamsters struggles to survive in a private-school homeroom. Surreal, shrewd, and surprisingly warm, these stories are as resonant as they are hilarious.

Download or read book Military Brats and Other Global Nomads written by Morten G. Ender and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2002-03-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After World War II, American political, military, corporate, and humanitarian responsibilities abroad expanded greatly. With families in tow, government officials, military service personnel, business executives, and missionaries began to travel and live, in increasing numbers, outside of their home country. Other nations followed suit. Ender examines this legacy of the late 20th century and analyzes the social, psychological, and historical imprints on people who came of age in these service organization families. Such international experiences impose specific demands on employees, their spouses and their children. These include relocation, risk of death or injury, family separation, and social controls on behavior. This collection contains thirteen essays by researchers studying children, adolescents, youth, and adults in a service organization family context, including the military, the State Department, international educators, and non-governmental organizations. The studies integrate research from sociology, psychology, child and adolescent development, family studies, and communications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated journalist R. W. ("Johnny") Apple was a veteran political reporter, a New York Times bureau chief and an incisive and prolific writer. But the role he was most passionate about was food anthropologist. Known both for his restless wideopen mind and an appetite to match, Apple was also a culinary scholar: witty, wide-ranging and intensely knowledgeable about his subjects. Far Flung and Well Fed is the best of legendary Times reporter Apple's food writing from America, England, Europe, Asia and Australia. Each of the more than fifty essays recount extraordinary meals and little-known facts, of some of the world's most excellent foods —from the origin of an ingredient in a dish, to its history, to the vivid personalities—including Apple's wife, Betsey—who cook, serve and eat those dishes. Far Flung and Well Fed is a classic collection of food writing— lively, warm and rich with a sense of place and taste—and deserves to join the works of A.J. Liebling, Elizabeth David, M.F.K. Fisher and Calvin Trillin on the bookshelf.

Book excerpt: Acclaimed Inda series within Sherwood Smith's epic fantasy Sartorias-deles universe • Military fantasy woven with courtly politics, vast worldbuilding, and diverse characters Inda was the second son of the prince and princess of Choraed Elgaer. It had been Inda's fate, as second son, to be his family's Shield Arm and spend his adult life protecting the lands his brother would one day inherit. But powerful factions in the royal court were committed to seeing Inda fail. For eight difficult years, Inda had been at sea, using an assumed name and forcing himself to never think of all he had lost. And he had created a new life, for the military skills that had been trained into him and his own inborn leadership ability could not be erased. After founding a mercenary marine company, he had earned a reputation for defeating dangerous pirate fleets. When Inda discovers that his home country is about to be attacked from the sea by an ancient enemy, he throws his carefully guarded anonymity to the winds and returns home. After nearly a decade at sea, Inda finds his home utterly changed. His good friend Evred, the formerly powerless and harassed younger prince, is now king. Evred has heard of Inda's martial accomplishments at sea, and is determined to make Inda his Royal Shield Arm—the person in charge of defending the entire kingdom. Though Inda is skilled, his experience is entirely naval. Can a former pirate captain alter his tactics to become a successful ground commander in time to save his endangered homeland?
