Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Gus Carson, World War II veteran, a survivor of the sinking of his ship in the Pacific. A Chicago cop, he’s suspended for a late night shooting at a brothel. Enter wealthy politico Arvis Hypoole. He hires Gus to find Jones. The caveat: He’s got one week to do it. The challenge: Everyone’s looking for Jones and most don’t want to find him alive.

Book excerpt: In the fictional town of Afton, Missouri, friendship and gossip go hand-in-hand. In Dear Midge, a collection of entertaining letters between the immensely popular Midge Clovis and her eccentric friends, the madcap life of the small town is slowly revealed through correspondence detailing the outrageously funny and slightly nutty events that occur around those who are just crazy enough to reside in Afton. From letters that request Midges assistance with town happenings like the Annual Afton Early Spring Winter Carnival and with social gatherings like the Cod Squad that eagerly searches for the best fish fry around town, it is soon evident that Midge is the go-to-gal, town confidante, avid collector of gossip, and connoisseur of all things potluckincluding deviled eggs, seven-layer dip with a shocking fifth layer, and a tantalizing sausage concoction. An authentically old-fashioned atmosphere abounds as Midge discovers the hidden joys behind a wacky white sale at Garrisons Grocer-rama and the personal rewards behind being member of the American Society of Ladies Unmentionables and Toys (also known as ASLUT). Dear Midge unveils the fun and merriment that surround a town that refuses to follow the Norman Rockwell standard in order to forge its rightful place in history.

Download or read book Six Crystal Princesses written by Piers Anthony and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this heroic Xanth adventure from the New York Times–bestselling author, there’s no time like the present to free six plucky princesses from the past. Young Vinia is enjoying her life with her boyfriend, Prince Ion. They complement each other perfectly: her telekinesis helps him walk, and his ambiance abolishes all allergens, allowing her to breathe freely. But Ion and his twin, Hilda, are bored with their easy royal lives and are restless for an adventure . . . While telling the story of how their parents met, the twins remember their mother was once captured by a dragon and frozen in crystal along with a half dozen other strong-willed princesses. She managed to escape, but the six other maidens continue to be held captive—which gives Vinia, Ion, Hilda, and Hilda’s caprine-crossbreed boyfriend the perfect excuse to embark on a quest. But first they must get the approval of their parents—and the Good Magician. Since Vinia is the protagonist in this story (though she’s much more comfortable as a background character), it’s up to her complete the Magician’s challenges. And then comes their greatest test: to free the princesses from their patriarchal prison, frozen in place by the Dragon with the Girl Tattoo . . . Praise for Piers Anthony “Piers Anthony is one of those authors who can perform magic with the ordinary. . . . [He] is a craftsman.” —A Reader’s Guide to Science Fiction “Anthony’s unflagging sparkle, verve and wordplay spin everyday trials of Mundane life into storytelling gold.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book On Personal Space the Traversable Self and the Happily Ever Experience written by Lisa Pavlik-Malone and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the symbolic relationship between personal space and the Cinderella fairy-tale. It characterizes personal space as having couched within it the traversable self, with a highly individual, rather idiosyncratic portion of this space comprised of neurocognitive memory content of an intra-personally deep, highly satisfying nature. It can be said that such nuanced associations are the essence of the happily ever personal experience. This book will be of interest to scholars and other researchers concerned with how cognition (including psychology and the brain, psychology and literature, philosophy of mind, and metaphor) might relate specifically to understanding personal space, as well as how it might be characterized within the context of a most shoe-centric fairy-tale.

Download or read book Competition in Socialist Society written by Katalin Miklóssy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the concept of "competition", which is usually associated with market economies, operated under state socialism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, where the socialist system, based on command economic planning and state-centred control over society, was supposed to emphasise "co-operation", rather than competitive mechanisms. The book considers competition in a wider range of industries and social fields across the Soviet bloc, and shows how the gradual adoption and adaptation of Western practices led to the emergence of more open competitiveness in socialist society. The book includes discussion of the state’s view of competition, and focuses especially on how competition operated at the grassroots level. It covers politico-economic reforms and their impact, both overall and at the enterprise level; competition in the cultural sphere; and the huge effect of increasing competition on socialist ways of thinking.
