Book excerpt: On August 16, 1938 in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, a tiny boy opened his mouth and cried for the first time. As Germany persecuted Jews and Orson Wells prepared for his infamous War of the Worlds radio program, Edgar Allen Moore began his life as the second of three boys in a Scottish-Irish family who nurtured an insatiable curiosity and a zest for adventure. In his entertaining memoir, Moore chronicles his journey from childhood to adulthood as he experienced variability, excitement, and satisfaction while working in five different professions. As Moore shares how he was influenced not only by the death of his mother at a young age, but also by a post-war cultural environment, he details how he managed to become successful despite living with the effects of attention deficit disorder, an then-unknown affliction that would not be diagnosed until later in life. As he narrates his adventures from college to military assignments to eventual employment, Moore provides a compelling glimpse into what it is like to look at each sunrise as a new opportunity. WOW, What a Day! shares one baby boomers narrative of what it was like to grow up amid the chaos of World War II and the subsequent years as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and embraces enriching life experiences.

Download or read book What a Difference a Day Makes written by Steve Bergsman and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In What a Difference a Day Makes: Women Who Conquered 1950s Music, Steve Bergsman highlights the Black female artists of the 1950s, a time that predated the chart-topping girl groups of the early 1960s. Many of the singers of this era became wildly famous and respected, and even made it into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame. However, there were many others, such as Margie Day, Helen Humes, Nellie Lutcher, Jewel King, and Savannah Churchill, who made one or two great records in the 1950s and then disappeared from the scene. The era featured former jazz and blues singers, who first came to prominence in the 1940s, and others who pioneered early forms of rock ’n’ roll. In a companion volume, Bergsman has written the history of white women singers of the same era. Although song styles were parallel, the careers of Black and white female singers of the period ran in very different directions as the decade progressed. The songs of African American vocalists like Dinah Washington and Etta James were segregated to the R&B charts or covered by pop singers in the early and mid-1950s but burst into prominence in the last part of the decade and well into the 1960s. White singers, on the other hand, excelled in the early 1950s but saw their careers decline with the advent of rock music. In this volume, Bergsman takes an encyclopedic look at both the renowned and the sadly faded stars of the 1950s, placing them and their music back in the spotlight.

Book excerpt: "A refreshingly funny and blisteringly unsentimental coming-of-age memoir." -John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Turtles All The Way Down and The Fault in Our Stars In Akilah Hughes's world, family--and life--are often complicated, but always funny. Through intimate and hilarious essays, Akilah takes readers along on her journey from the small Kentucky town where she was born--and eventually became a spelling bee champ and 15-year-old high school graduate--to New York City, where she took careful steps to fulfill her dream of becoming a writer and performer. Like Tiffany Haddish's The Last Black Unicorn or Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? for the YA set, Akilah pens revealing and laugh-out-loud funny essays about her life, covering everything from her racist fifth grade teacher, her struggles with weight and acne, her failed attempts at joining the cheerleading team, how to literally get to New York (hint: for a girl on a budget, it may include multiple bus transfers) and exactly how to "make it" once you finally get there.
Download or read book One Day written by Gene Weingarten and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the 50 Best Nonfiction Books of the Last 25 Years”—Slate On New Year’s Day 2013, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Gene Weingarten asked three strangers to, literally, pluck a day, month, and year from a hat. That day—chosen completely at random—turned out to be Sunday, December 28, 1986, by any conventional measure a most ordinary day. Weingarten spent the next six years proving that there is no such thing. That Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s turned out to be filled with comedy, tragedy, implausible irony, cosmic comeuppances, kindness, cruelty, heroism, cowardice, genius, idiocy, prejudice, selflessness, coincidence, and startling moments of human connection, along with evocative foreshadowing of momentous events yet to come. Lives were lost. Lives were saved. Lives were altered in overwhelming ways. Many of these events never made it into the news; they were private dramas in the lives of private people. They were utterly compelling. One Day asks and answers the question of whether there is even such a thing as “ordinary” when we are talking about how we all lurch and stumble our way through the daily, daunting challenge of being human.

Book excerpt: This lovely, accomplished, and wryly humorous debut picture book reminds readers not to believe everything they hear. Four animals make their way to the lake, hoping they’ll be lucky enough to catch some fish for dinner. To their dismay, they arrive at the pier at same time, and each worries the others will wreck their day—the stork thinks he’s got bad luck now that the black cat has crossed his path, the cat worries that the raccoon will steal all his fish, the raccoon fears getting too close to the frog and his warts, and the frog hopes the stork doesn’t deliver any babies on the already too-crowded pier. But as this gentle, funny, and thoroughly satisfying picture book makes clear, it’s a mistake to judge others too quickly.
