Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2014 Lambda Literary Award in the Lesbian Memoir/Biography Category presented by the Lambda Literary Foundation This vivid memoir speaks the intense truth of a Bronx tomboy whose 1960s girlhood was marked by her father's lullabies laced with his dissociative memories of combat in World War II. At four years old, Annie Rachele Lanzillotto bounced her Spaldeen on the stoop and watched the boys play stickball in the street; inside, she hid silver teaspoons behind the heat pipes to tap calls for help while her father beat her mother. At eighteen, on the edge of ambitious freedom, her studies at Brown University were halted by the growth of a massive tumor inside her chest. Thus began a wild, truth-seeking journey for survival, fueled by the lessons of lasagna vows, and Spaldeen ascensions. From the stoops of the Bronx to cross-dressing on the streets of Egypt, from the cancer ward at Memorial Sloan-Kettering to New York City's gay club scene of the '80s, this poignant and authentic story takes us from underneath the dining room table to the stoop, the sidewalk, the street, and, ultimately, out into the wide world of immigration, gay subculture, cancer treatment, mental illness, gender dynamics, drug addiction, domestic violence, and a vast array of Italian American characters. With a quintessential New Yorker as narrator and guide, this journey crescendos in a reluctant return home to the timeless wisdom of a peasant, immigrant grandmother, Rosa Marsico Petruzzelli, who shows us the sweetest essence of soul.

Download or read book Waking the Lion written by Roger L. Jennings and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within each of us is the heart of a lion. Each of us can make a difference. One man, a hunchback working for the YMCA, saved 1,250,000 people from death. Others who could have helped to save humanity instead were self-dealing. Most people of the world would cower and run. They are called refugees. Americans are different. This American from the Y risked his own and his son's life to save people he did not know and who were not his countrymen. For his service, he became the highest decorated person in Greek history. This, incidentally, is the story of why Greeks hate Turks. Neither knows the truth of this tragedy, or how the Greeks with their superior negotiating skills could have, and still can, bond with the Turks as brothers. Both would benefit enormously. The Greeks and Greece need help, and the Turks could be their salvation. The principal character, the Y man Asa K. Jennings, was also a Methodist minister who lived by his principles. He so impressed the leader of the Muslim Turks, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, that the Gazi asked the Christian to set up programs that were based on Christian principles all around Turkey while the Gazi was closing the mosques and banishing the mullahs. Turkey changed from an imperial power to a nation that is at peace at home and abroad. Their growth has been impressive while the Greeks are mired in debt and political fighting. When elected officials will not bring peace and positive change, then it is up to the citizen, that's you, to take the steps necessary to force those changes that benefit humanity. When you read this book, you will see how this hunchback organized people to make a difference for so many helpless people. This book was prepared from thousands of documents left by Asa K. Jennings and his son. There is a higher calling than the daily grind, and to find it, look within your own heart. Roger L. Jennings On the Cover of the Book This lion protecting the lamb was a Christmas card sent to family and friends by my parents Asa W. and Irene M. Jennings"

Download or read book The Lion s Cub Le lionceau written by Margaret MacMillan and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Lion’s Cub, her 2018 Symons Medal address, eminent Canadian historian Margaret MacMillan examines the impact of the First War World on Canadian Confederation. With her characteristic flair and gift for telling detail, Margaret MacMillan shows the paradox of Canada’s experience in the First World War. On the one hand, the Great War, as it was originally known, brought Canada closer to nationhood and gave many Canadians a greater sense of identity. On the other hand, the Great War also marked a time when Confederation was shaken and very nearly came apart. Its divisive impact continued to be felt throughout the twentieth century. And can still be felt today, in Canada’s national political life, and in the relationship between Quebec and the rest of the country. Yet Canada survived, and continues to survive. And Margaret MacMillan concludes that this is the great strength of Confederation. The Lion’s Cub suggests Canada’s endurance should be recognized for the achievement it is. In a world where political boundaries are often as artificial as Canada’s, the ability of our “improbable country” to survive and prosper may be an example of hope for a wider world. The Symons Medal is one of Canada’s most prestigious honours. It is presented annually by the Confederation Centre of the Arts to honour persons who have made an exceptional contribution to Canadian life. Bilingual Edition - Historienne et écrivaine canadienne de réputation internationale, Margaret MacMmillan aborde la Première Guerre mondiale et ses répercussions paradoxales sur le Canada dans son discours prononcé en 2018 lors de la remise de la médaille Symons et intitulé Le lionceau. Avec son style caractéristique et son talent inné de narratrice, Margaret MacMillan a révélé le paradoxe saisissant de l’expérience canadienne durant la Première Guerre mondiale. En effet, si la Grande Guerre, comme on l’appelait à l’époque, a sensibilisé le Canada à l’idée de nation et a conféré à bon nombre de Canadiens un sentiment accru d’identité, elle a aussi symbolisé une époque où la Confédération canadienne fut fortement ébranlée et faillit même se désagréger. De plus, les risques de fracture résultant de la Grande Guerre perdurèrent durant tout le XXe siècle. Et aujourd’hui encore, ses effets continuent de se faire sentir dans la vie politique nationale canadienne, particulièrement dans les relations entre le Québec et le reste du pays. Pourtant, le Canada a survécu et continue de survivre. Selon Margaret MacMillan, c’est d’ailleurs la plus grande force de la Confédération canadienne. Dans son ouvrage intitulé Le lionceau, elle suggère que l’endurance et la résilience du Canada devraient être impérativement reconnues à leur juste valeur. Dans un monde où les frontières politiques sont souvent aussi artificielles que celles du Canada, la capacité à survivre et à prospérer de notre « pays improbable » est un brillant exemple d’espoir pour un monde plus vaste et plus divers. La médaille Symons est une des récompenses honorifiques les plus prestigieuses du Canada. Chaque année, elle est remise par le Centre des arts de la Confédération à une personne distinguée en reconnaissance de sa contribution exceptionnelle à la vie canadienne. Édition bilingue
Download or read book The Serengeti Lion written by George B. Schaller and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on three years of study in the Serengeti National Park, George B. Schaller’s The Serengeti Lion describes the vast impact of the lion and other predators on the vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle for which the area is famous. The most comprehensive book available on the lion, this classic work includes the author’s findings on all aspects of lion behavior, including its social system, population dynamics, hunting behavior, and predation patterns. “If you have only enough time to read one book about field biology, this is the one I recommend.”—Edward O. Wilson, Science “This book conveys not only the fascination of its particular study of lion behavior but the drama and wonder and beauty of the intimate interdependence of all living things.”—Saturday Review “This is an important book, not just for its valuable information on lions, but for its broad, open, and intelligent approach to problems that cut across the fields of behavior, populations, ecology, wildlife management, evolution, anthropology, and comparative biology.”—Richard G. Van Gelder, Bioscience
Download or read book The Lion s Share written by Guido Alfani and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most in-depth analysis of inequality and social polarization ever attempted for a preindustrial society. Using data from the archives of the Venetian Terraferma, and compared with information available for elsewhere in Europe, Guido Alfani and Matteo Di Tullio demonstrate that the rise of the fiscal-military state served to increase economic inequality in the early modern period. Preindustrial fiscal systems tended to be regressive in nature, and increased post-tax inequality compared to pre-tax - in contrast to what we would assume is the case in contemporary societies. This led to greater and greater disparities in wealth, which were made worse still as taxes were collected almost entirely to fund war and defence rather than social welfare. Though focused on Old Regime Europe, Alfani and Di Tullio's findings speak to contemporary debates about the roots of inequality and social stratification.

Download or read book In the Lion s Court written by Derek Wilson and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Henry VIII and his six wives is a well-known example of the caprice and violence that dominated that king's reign. Now Derek Wilson examines a set of relationships that more vividly illustrate just how dangerous life was in the court of the Tudor lion. He tells the interlocking stories of six men-all, curiously enough, called Thomas-whose ambitions and principles brought them face to face with violent death, as recorded in a simple mnemonic: 'Died, beheaded, beheaded, Self-slaughtered, burned, survived.' Thomas Wolsey was an accused traitor on his way to the block when a kinder death intervened. Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell, whose convictions and policies could scarcely have been more different, both perished beneath the headman's axe. Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, would have met the same end had the king's own death not brought him an eleventh hour reprieve. Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, and Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, though outliving the monarch, perished as a result of that war of ambitions and ideologies which rumbled on after 1547. Wriothesley succumbed to poison of either body or mind in the aftermath of a failed coup. Cranmer went to the stake as a heretic at the insistence of Mary Tudor, who was very much the daughter of the father she hated. In the Lion's Court is an illuminating examination of the careers of the six Thomases, whose lives are described in parallel-their family and social origins, their pathways to the royal Council chamber, their occupancy of the Siege Perilous, and the tragedies that, one by one, overwhelmed them. By showing how events shaped and were shaped by relationships and personal destinies, Derek Wilson offers a fresh approach to the political narrative of a tumultuous reign.
