The volume is filled with heartfelt stories.” —T: The New York Times Style Magazine "There are a bunch of beautifully illustrated watch books out there, but A Man & His Watch by Matt Hranek is more than that.

Through these intimate accounts and Hranek’s storytelling, the watches become more than just timepieces and status symbols; they represent historical moments, pioneering achievements, heirlooms, family mementos, gifts of affection, and lifelong friendships.

Download or read book The modern Plague written by Shashwat Dev and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2020-12-26 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is amidst a global storm that is set to change almost every social obligation which hitherto has commanded the human response. For most this is the first time that they are experiencing a historical event of such scale. “The Modern Plague- History Shared En Masse” is an attempt to portray the magnitude of this pandemic. Miseries have been inflicted upon everyone in varying degrees, for some it was question of life and death whereas for some it was a sort of solitary confinement for months. This book is an attempt to collage every story of this epic. From the world’s largest economic lockdown to the migration of labours on foot and from the fight for an investigation to know the origin of the virus to the race for a cure, every aspect has been touched upon. It has been almost a year since the world was hit by this catastrophe, yet every study on the virus makes us realize how little we know. This book tries to bring forth the reality and to argue whether the problems that people faced were genuine and uncontrollable or a result of complacency on the part of the authorities that were vested with the responsibility to tackle adversities such as these.
Download or read book Murder and Intrigue on the Mexican Border written by John A. Adams and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early 1914, Clemente Vergara discovered several of his horses missing and reported the theft to local authorities. The Webb County sheriff arranged for the South Texas rancher to meet with Mexican soldiers near Hidalgo to discuss compensation for his loss. Vergara crossed the Rio Grande, soon succumbed to a vicious physical assault, and was jailed. Days after incarceration in Hidalgo, his body was found hanging from a tree. The murder of Clemente Vergara contributed to events that put the United States and Mexico on the brink of war and opened the door for expanded American involvement in Mexico. Texas governor Oscar B. Colquitt seized upon the incident to challenge President Woodrow Wilson—a fellow Democrat—to intervene and even threatened retaliation by the Texas Rangers. Meanwhile, the White House played a larger strategic game with competing factions in the midst of the Mexican Revolution. Wilson’s apparent inaction heightened Colquitt’s demands to guarantee the safety of Americans and their property in the Texas borderlands, and the Vergara affair’s extensive media coverage convinced many Americans that intervention in Mexico was necessary. Author John A. Adams Jr. shows how an otherwise commonplace horse theft and murder revealed a tangled web of international relations, powerful business interests, and intrigue on both sides of the border. Readers will be captivated by Murder and Intrigue on the Mexican Border and the continuing legacy that border events leave on Texas history.
