Book excerpt: North End Boy is a fast-paced memoir about seven young friends coming of age in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The action takes place over two days in the summer of 1978 - a time before computers, before globalization, before the end of the Cold War - when most people still worked with their hands.At the beginning of the story, the friends are enjoying the late stages of an advanced adolescence with few ambitions and fewer responsibilities. Twenty-four hours later, they endure the loss of one of their own, a loss that forces adulthood upon them. Decisions have to be made - about families and careers, ultimately about their destiny. One embraces the family business. One moves out to California. One finds redemption in the Catholic Church. Another one doesn't. The author, Kevin Brady, was born and raised in the North End of Elizabeth, where his Irish immigrant parents settled after the war. An intensely local book, North End Boy is also a larger meditation on post-war America, as seen through the eyes of a young man with immigrant sensibilities and working-class roots.
Download or read book Elizabeth written by Jean-Rae Turner and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003-08-27 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth, New Jersey is a city of firsts: first English-speaking colony in the state, first state capital, first home of Princeton University, and the site of the first shots fired after the Declaration of Independence. This impressive history is bolstered by the town's production of the first U.S. Navy submarine, Singer sewing machine, and ice cream soda, but these triumphs should not overshadow the hardships endured along the way. With no precedent to guide the way, the industrious people of Elizabeth built traditions rather than uphold them, and for nearly 340 years this community has forged its own path against the landscape without losing its small-town flavor. Elizabeth: The First Capital of New Jersey is the uplifting record of the people who settled land and built homes, many of which are still populated by their descendants. Tales of the sacrifices of a rich colonial history lead seamlessly into stories about the Singer Sewing Machine Company, which changed the face of the city's commerce, and the Morris Turnpike and Central Railroad that form the heart of the transportation industry to which Elizabeth owes much of its economic well being. Presented in both lucid word and striking image, Elizabeth: The First Capital of New Jersey depicts the people, places, and events that secured Elizabeth's well deserved place in the history of America. The hard-working citizens who had the foresight to develop a diverse economic, religious, and cultural base for the "City of Churches" are memorialized in this new volume.

Download or read book Terror Over Elizabeth New Jersey written by Peter Zablocki and published by History Press. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With safety protocols in their infancy and the jet engine still in development, early commercial flight above American cities was too often deadly. Between December 1951 and January 1952, three separate plane crashes barreled down onto Elizabeth, New Jersey. Many dozens perished as the crashes destroyed entire city blocks and wreaked havoc throughout various neighborhoods. Frightened residents turned to the nearby Newark Airport for blame as a groundswell of political pushback occurred in an ultimately unsuccessful bid to stop the airport's expansion. President Truman formed an airport safety commission in response that recommended better zoning around airports and runways. Author Peter Zablocki tells the harrowing story of one of the most unique and tragic series of plane crashes in the nation's history.

Download or read book Understanding Violence written by Elizabeth Kande L. Englander and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What impels human beings to harm others -- family members or strangers? And how can these impulses and actions be prevented or controlled? Heightened public awareness of, and concern about, what is widely perceived as a recent explosion of violence -- on a spectrum from domestic abuse to street crime -- has motivated behavioral and social scientists to cast new light on old questions. Many hypotheses have been offered. This volume sorts, structures, and evaluates them.The author draws on contemporary research and theory in varied fields--sociology, clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, neuropsychology, behavioral genetics, child development, and education--to present a uniquely balanced, integrated, and readable summary of what we currently know about the causes and effects of violence. Throughout, she emphasizes the necessity of distinguishing among different types of violent behavior and of realizing that nature and nurture interact in human development. Controversial issues such as physical punishment and violent television programming receive special attention making this volume an important resource for all those concerned with violent offenders and their victims -- and for their students and trainees.In this third edition of Understanding Violence, author Elizabeth Kandel Englander draws on contemporary research and theory in varied fields to present a uniquely balanced, integrated, and readable summary of what we currently know about the causes and effects of violence, particularly its effect on children. The goal of this textbook is to give a critical review of the most relevant and important areas of research on street and family violence, examining why it is that people become violent. Between 1994 and 2004 the United States benefited from a dramatic decline in rates of violent crime. However, as the economy has weakened in recent years and tougher times have returned, the crime rate has shown signs of a modest
