Download or read book The Wagon and Other Stories from the City written by Martin Preib and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Preib is an officer in the Chicago Police Department—a beat cop whose first assignment as a rookie policeman was working on the wagon that picks up the dead. Inspired by Preib’s daily life on the job, The Wagon and Other Stories from the City chronicles the outer and inner lives of both a Chicago cop and the city itself. The book follows Preib as he transports body bags, forges an unlikely connection with his female partner, trains a younger officer, and finds himself among people long forgotten—or rendered invisible—by the rest of society. Preib recounts how he navigates the tenuous labyrinths of race and class in the urban metropolis, such as a domestic disturbance call involving a gang member and his abused girlfriend or a run-in with a group of drunk yuppies. As he encounters the real and imagined geographies of Chicago, the city reveals itself to be not just a backdrop, but a central force in his narrative of life and death. Preib’s accounts, all told in his breathtaking prose, come alive in ways that readers will long remember.

Download or read book The Wagon Travel Handbook written by David Renwick Grant and published by Long Riders Guild Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the dawning of the 20th century wagons of all sorts, shapes and sizes were mankind's main mode of travel. From donkey dray to ducal carriage, prairie schooner to farm cart, wagons assisted mankind with his labour or liberated him to explore the world. Sadly one of the victims of the internal combustion engine was the ancient art of wagon travel. Even in this day of GPS satellites and computerised cars, there are those who aspire instead to see the world glide by no faster than the trot of their gently pacing horse-drawn wagon. Yet had you longed to learn how to undertake a wagon journey, who could have taught you the everyday skills needed to travel across a host of countries and climates? You would have sought in vain for a guide to this lost knowledge - until now. This is the finest book ever penned about modern wagon travel, a volume which embodies a wealth of hard-earned experience and lore gained by David Grant. He is the legendary Scottish wagon-master who journeyed around the world with his family in a horse-drawn wagon, thereby gaining entry into The Guinness Book of World Records.

Book excerpt: Call the kids, grab the picnic basket, and load up the wagon for this colorful salute to the great American family hauler. The entire evolution of the station wagon is examined, from the "depot hacks" that shuttled passengers to their trains in the 1920s to today's popular SUVs and minivans. The emphasis, however, is decidedly on the fantastic classics that came into their own during the postwar boom of the 1950s and '60s, including the Chevrolet Nomad, Pontiac Safari, Studebaker Wagonaire, and Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Also included are beautiful woodys from several manufacturers and rare wagons from bygon manufacturers like Packard. The wonderful images in this nostalgic, one-of-a-kind history include period color photography, fascinating print advertisements, and exclusive modern color photographs of lovingly restored wagons.
Download or read book We Don t Exactly Get the Welcome Wagon written by Gerald P. Mallon and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on over twenty years of child welfare experience and extensive interviews with 54 gay and lesbian young people who lived in out-of-home-care child welfare settings in three North American cities--Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto--Gerald Mallon presents narratives of marginalized young people trying to find the "right fit." Mallon permits the voices of these young people to guide the research, allowing them to tell their own stories and to suggest what is important in their own words. Their experiences help the reader to begin to understand the discrepancies between the myths and misinformation about gay and lesbian adolescents and their realities in the out-of-home child welfare systems in which they live. The first comprehensive examination of the experiences of gay and lesbian youths in the child welfare system, We Don't Exactly Get the Welcome Wagon makes solid recommendations to social work practitioners as well as to policy makers about how they can provide a competent practice for gay and lesbian adolescents, and offers a methods chapter which will be useful in classroom instruction.
