Download or read book Women of a Certain Age written by Bob Freeman; Rosalie Freeman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE is an 80,000 word version of what goes on in a retirement village in South Florida as seen through the eyes of four senior women. Though this is a work of fiction, many of the situations depicted were real. The authors may have exaggerated these events but they do represent actual incidents that took place in senior communities. Written in an anecdotal style, this novel explores the premise that life goes on after Social Security as does dating and intimacy. Children, even when they are fully grown, pose headaches for their parents. Death is a frequent visitor; the inevitable is always at the next sunrise. These women cope with humor and love. All of this, and more, becomes a way of life and they learn to manage and to survive with the hands they are dealt. We view their heartbreaks, their joys, their good days and bad, and their intense loyalty to one another. The strength of WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE lies in its honest dialogue, realistic situations, and its portrayal of what occurs with the graying of senior women. We learn to love these people, flaws and all, as we begin to understand that they are all a reflection of ourselves and that one day, if we are lucky, we will walk in their shoes.

Download or read book Bayonne Boy written by Bob Vargovcik and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-04-28 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story about a young kid growing up in the blue-collar town of Bayonne, NJ. During the war years of the 1940s and his teenage years of the 1950s, Robert Vargovcik went off to make his mark on the world. Bayonne is located across the harbor from the southern tip of Manhattan. It was known for its oil refineries, but it also had a lot of heavy industries, chemical plants, foundries, and the like. Everybody had a good-paying job. The author grew up in close neighborhoods, and television and air-conditioning were on the distant horizon. It was the time of screen doors, front porches, and backyard swings. Evenings were spent with neighbors exchanging gossip and waiting for a cool breeze. Winters were spent playing board games. Thanks to gas rationing, the streets were the playgrounds, and seven-year-olds could roam far and wide and not worry their parents. They just had to make sure they were home for dinner.

Download or read book American Foundations written by Helmut K. Anheier and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations play an essential part in the philanthropic activity that defines so much of American life. No other nation provides its foundations with so much autonomy and freedom of action as does the United States. Liberated both from the daily discipline of the market and from direct control by government, American foundations understandably attract great attention. As David Hammack and Helmut Anheier note in this volume, "Americans have criticized foundations for... their alleged conservatism, liberalism, elitism, radicalism, devotion to religious tradition, hostility to religion—in short, for commitments to causes whose significance can be measured, in part, by the controversies they provoke. Americans have also criticized foundations for ineffectiveness and even foolishness." Their size alone conveys some sense of the significance of American foundations, whose assets amounted to over $530 billion in 2008 despite a dramatic decline of almost 22 percent in the previous year. And in 2008 foundation grants totaled over $45 billion. But what roles have foundations actually played over time, and what distinctive roles do they fill today? How have they shaped American society, how much difference do they make? What roles are foundations likely to play in the future? This comprehensive volume, the product of a three-year project supported by the Aspen Institute's program on the Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy, provides the most thorough effort ever to assess the impact and significance of the nation's large foundations. In it, leading researchers explore how foundations have shaped—or failed to shape—each of the key fields of foundation work. American Foundations takes the reader on a wide-ranging tour, evaluating foundation efforts in education, scientific and medical research, health care, social welfare, international relations, arts and culture, religion, and social change.

Osaki Once a samurai, always a Shiver... Kofi Olabasu needs a vacation. He's spent so much time looking out for his brother and working that he's completely neglected himself. To make matters worse, feelings for a man are driving him crazy. The moment Kofi feels Osaki, he knows something is about to change. Confused about his attraction to Osaki, he agrees to take a vacation and accepts Osaki's offer of being Kofi's tour guide in Japan. However, nothing is as it seems. Soon every dark corner is filled with danger and those who wish to do him harm. Osaki has a lot on his plate and love is the last thing he has time for.

All Osaki really has to do is focus on training and being the best tour guide possible for Kofi. But nothing ever goes as planned and soon rogue Shivers are popping out of the woodwork, hell-bent on destroying Osaki for his inheritance.

Koi Pyktis is the last of the Shivers and, lately, he's been feeling as if the whole world is in love, leaving him the odd Shiver out. Though he has his eyes on Kofi's friend, Christophe Sidler, he knows he must keep his hands off him. His father's enemies are out there and they seem hell-bent on starting a war between the Shivers and anyone else they want. Christophe Sidler has loved Koi Pyktis since the moment he laid eyes on the studly Greek. But he's fresh from mourning his mother, getting his feet wet in the business world and trying desperately not to put his foot in his mouth around Koi. However, what will Christophe feel and say when he finds out what Koi really is, and where will Christophe stand in the battle ahead?
