Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The region of Alsace, France, 1942.Some things are to die for: Evangeline Pfeiffer has a stolen secret. There are those who would kill her to get it back. Ever since the German invasion, Evangeline Pfeiffer has worked at the bakery in the small French town of Turckheim. Each morning, together with Alain her brother, she helps make the bread and pastries for Joseph, the baker. It is a life of routine and order.But there is disaster waiting just round the corner and when Alain is arrested by the Gestapo for aiding the resistance, her quiet existence is shattered. Unwittingly, she becomes an accomplice in the murder of Nazi agent Ludwig Kraus and finds herself thrown together with the killer, a Polish spy code named Kasha. She's on the wanted list, her only hope is an escape to Spain. Taking the baker's van she and Kasha drive south. She has burnt her bridges - there is no going back. She is on the run - but the spy running with her might not be all he seems; Evangeline is suspicious; maybe he has another agenda - one that will not include her.Behind them as they twist and turn across Occupied France, their pursuers are closing in: the Gestapo, the German spy catchers (Sicherheitsdienst) and, most terrifying of all, the ruthless French secret police, La Carlingue. If they catch her she knows she will have little chance of survival: she will be raped, tortured and executed.In the city of Dijon Kasha is captured. On her own with her chances of escape fading she continues her flight south; all the while the net tightening around her. Arriving in the southern city of Lyon she makes contact with a resistance cell but she is unsure if she can trust them - everywhere there are informers. Then something happens - she meets Grainger, a British SOE agent - he could be the game changer. If she can persuade him to help her, this could be her ticket out. But Grainger is reluctant, he has his own mission, he can't afford passengers - nevertheless she's sticking to him. She's not about to let go...

Download or read book Flipped written by Wendelin Van Draanen and published by Ember. This book was released on 2003-05-13 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic he-said-she-said romantic comedy! This updated anniversary edition offers story-behind-the-story revelations from author Wendelin Van Draanen. The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is thinking that there’s maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices. The updated anniversary edition contains 32 pages of extra backmatter: essays from Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of inspiration, on the making of the movie of Flipped, on why she’ll never write a sequel, and a selection of the amazing fan mail she’s received. Awards and accolades for Flipped: SLJ Top 100 Children’s Novels of all time IRA-CBC Children’s Choice IRA Teacher’s Choice Honor winner, Judy Lopez Memorial Award/WNBA Winner of the California Young Reader Medal “We flipped over this fantastic book, its gutsy girl Juli and its wise, wonderful ending.” — The Chicago Tribune “Van Draanen has another winner in this eighth-grade ‘he-said, she-said’ romance. A fast, funny, egg-cellent winner.” — SLJ, Starred review “With a charismatic leading lady kids will flip over, a compelling dynamic between the two narrators and a resonant ending, this novel is a great deal larger than the sum of its parts.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred review

Download or read book On Art Labor and Religion written by Ellen Gates Starr and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Starr's interdisciplinary writings (touching on social work, religion, education, US history, women's studies, sociology, and urban studies) add to the growing anthology of women's history and the lived experiences of the common woman." --Choice Chicago was a tumultuous and exciting city in 1889. Immigration, industrialization, urbanization, and politics created a vortex of social change. This lively chaos called out for both celebration and reform, and two women, Ellen Gates Starr and Jane Addams, responded to this challenge by founding the social settlement Hull House. Although Addams is one of the most famous women in American history and a major figure in sociology, Starr remains virtually unknown. On Art, Labor, and Religion is the first anthology of Starr's writings and biography and makes evident her contributions to national and international sociological thought and practice. In addition to co-founding Hull House, Starr actively brought the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain to Chicago through extensive and intensive relations with this group of artisans, theorists, socialists, and proto-sociologists, founding a number of important societies based on their ideals and practices. Her writings on art, like those of William Morris and John Ruskin, stress the need for a unitary life and meaningful work that is aesthetically expressive and in harmony with nature and the community. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, she gained national fame as a visible socialist and advocate for women's labor movements whose activism helped secure greater safety for many strikers. An adherent of Fabian socialism, Starr's writings on labor unrest reflect her turning away from aestheticism toward more active political engagement. Her firm commitment to feminism, expressed between 1892 and 1920, reveal a pragmatic belief in human improvement, more inclusive democracy, and our capacity to end major social problems. On converting to Catholicism in 1920, she left Hull House to follow a more private spiritual journey, eventually entering the Benedictine religious order where she remained until her death in 1940. Her late religious and mystical writings renounce her former activism and the "Protestant ethic" in favor of an otherworldly dedication and an ordered life of prayer and devotion to Christ. Her essays make a distinct contribution to our knowledge about early sociology and the social settlement movement. This volume restores a significant figure to her rightful place in American social history. Mary Jo Deegan is professor of sociology at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. She is the author of Jane Addams and the Men of the Chicago School and the editor of George Herbert Mead's Essays in Social Psychology, both available from Transaction. Ana-Maria Wahl is assistant professor of sociology at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. She specializes in labor studies and comparative sociology with an emphasis on Mexico.
