Winston S. Churchill, Volume 4: World in Torment,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gilbert, Martin, PUBLISHER: Hillsdale College Press, "Winston S. Churchill: World In Torment, " is the fourth volume of the definitive biography of Winston S. Churchill. Covering the years to , Martin Gilbert's fascinating account carefully traces Churchill's wide-ranging activities and shows how, by his persuasive oratory, administrative skill, and masterful contributions to Cabinet discussions, Churchill regained, only a few years after the disaster of Dardanelles, a leading position in British political life.There are many dramatic and controversial episodes: the German breakthrough on the Western Front in March , the anti-Bolshevik Intervention in , negotiating the Irish Treaty, consolidating the Jewish National Home in Palestine, and the Chanak crisis with Turkey. In all these, and many other events, Churchill's leading role is explained and illuminated in Martin Gilbert's precise, masterful style.The Churchill who emerges from these pages is a complex, gifted, energetic, troubled man who made a forceful impact on his contemporaries; a man whose remarkable skills were admired by his colleagues, but who often angered - even maddened - them by what he said and did.In a moving final chapter, covering a period when Churchill was without a seat in Parliament for the first time since , Martin Gilbert brilliantly draws together the many strands of time in Churchill's life when his political triumphs were overshadowed by personal sorrows, by his increasingly somber reflections on the backward march of nations and society, and by his stark forecasts of dangers to come.

When she was young, Steffie Wyler always knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life: 1. Make ice cream. 2. Marry the coolest boy in town. 3. Live happily ever after. These days, Steffie is the proud owner of One Scoop or Two, a wildly popular ice cream parlor. But the cool guy left town right after high school, before they could scratch the surface of their mutual attraction to see what, if anything, lay beneath. Steffie's made a great life for herself in St. Dennis, but true love has never come knocking.

Now back in St. Dennis, Wade's determined to do whatever it takes to protect his friend's legacy--and to figure out, once and for all, if the sparks that fly whenever he's with Steffie are just temporary fireworks or the lights in the window leading him home.

Pursuing a Promise: A History of African Americans at

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brooks, F. Erik, PUBLISHER: Mercer University Press, In Statesboro, Georgia, two schools coexisted: one white and the other black. Yet, these schools were intertwined by their geographical location and the traditions of the segregated South. There are many glaring similarities between the white students of Georgia Southern University's forerunner, the First District A&M School, and the black students of the Statesboro Industrial and High School. Yet as happened all too often in the South as implementation of the federal court's desegregation orders took shape, "Negro" schools were downgraded or outright closed. Statesboro was no different. While, First District A&M became a regional university, Statesboro Industrial and High School was downgraded to a junior high school. In , integration on the higher-education level at Georgia's flagship university captured national attention. Few works if any have examined desegregation in the context of non-flagship universities. Likewise, there is a misguided mythology that desegregation occurred quietly at Georgia Southern University: it's clear that while there was not the violence and rioting seen elsewhere in Southern universities, blacks were marginalized and did not feel welcome at the college. A passive group after the initial integration, blacks adopted tactics of protest and confrontation to empower themselves. Taking a page from the Civil Rights Movement, black students and faculty established organizations to confront discrimination and gain access to campus leadership positions. This is a story about the defeats, victories, struggles, and developments of blacks at Georgia Southern University.

Paris Was the Place

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Conley, Susan, PUBLISHER: Alfred A. Knopf, From acclaimed author Susan Conley, a novel that gives us a luminous emotional portrait of a young woman living abroad in Paris in the s and trying to make sense of the chaotic world around her as she learns the true meaning of family. When Willie Pears agrees to teach at a Parisian center for immigrant girls who have requested French asylum, she has no idea it will utterly change her life. She has lived in Paris for six months, surrounded by the most important people in her life: her beloved brother, Luke, her funny and wise college roommate, Sara, and Sara's do-gooder husband, Rajiv. And now there is Macon Ventri, a passionate, dedicated attorney for the detained girls. Theirs is a meeting of both hearts and minds--but not without its problems. As Willie becomes more involved with the immigrant girls who touch her soul, the lines between teaching and mothering are blurred. She is especially drawn to Gita, a young Indian girl who is determined to be free. Ultimately Willie will make a decision with potentially dire consequences to both her relationship with Macon and the future of the center. Meanwhile, Luke is taken with a serious, as-yet-unnamed illness, and Willie will come to understand the power of unconditional love while facing the dark days of his death. Conley has written a piercing, deeply humane novel that explores the connections between family and friends and reaffirms the strength of the ties that bind.

Parables for Plain People

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Worrill, Jack, PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, Jack Worrill is a native of Atlanta, Georgia, and a graduate of Georgia Tech. He spent thirty five years as an advertising account executive and copy writer, the last portion of that time in his own one man agency. Over a forty year period he taught Bible to Sunday School classes ranging in age from three years old to what he calls "65 to Glory." He began singing in his church choir as a freshman in college and considered studying for the music ministry. However, the Lord had other plans, and it was only after forty-eight years-many of which were passed as lay song leader, occasional supply as choir leader and in serving several churches as interim music minister-that Jack was called as Minister of Music to a small church in Metropolitan Atlanta. He currently earns his livelihood repairing, restoring and re-caning chairs, rockers and wicker furniture. He demonstrates the art of chair caning at craft shows and state fairs, and teaches chair caning classes several times each year. He and his wife Lyn live in Marietta, Georgia, near their three married daughters, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. It is from this varied life experience that Jack's Parables for Plain People are drawn. They are all based upon his keen awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit, purposefully working out His Will, in even the most ordinary daily events, for those who put their faith and trust in Him.

Chesnutt and Realism: A Study of the Novels

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Simmons, Ryan, PUBLISHER: University Alabama Press, An important examination of Charles Chesnutt as a practitioner of realism. With the release of previously unpublished novels and a recent proliferation of critical studies on his life and work, Charles W. Chesnutt () has emerged as a major American writer of his time--the age of Howells, Twain, and Wharton. In "Chesnutt and Realism, "Ryan Simmons breaks new ground by theorizing how understandings of literary realism have shaped, and can continue to shape, the reception of Chesnutt's work. Although Chesnutt is typically acknowledged as the most prominent African American writer of the realist period, little attention has been paid to the central question of this study: what does it mean to call Chesnutt a realist? A writer whose career was circumscribed by the dismal racial politics of his era, Chesnutt refused to conform to literary conventions for depicting race. Nor did he use his imaginative skills to evade the realities he and other African Americans faced. Rather, he experimented with ways of portraying reality that could elicit an appropriate, proportionate response to it, as Simmons demonstrates in extended readings of each of Chestnutt's novels, including important unpublished works that have been overlooked by previous critics. "Chesnutt and Realism" also addresses a curiously neglected subject in American literary studies--the relationship between American literary realism and race. By taking Chesnutt seriously as a contributor to realism, this book articulates the strategies by which one African American intellectual helped to define the discourses that influenced his fate. Ryan Simmons is Assistant Professor of English at Utah Valley State College

Life, Death, and Doughnuts

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kasdin, Karen / Kasdin, Karin, PUBLISHER: Strategic Book Publishing, It is and the Katharine Gibbs Secretarial School in New York City is teeming with women. Over doughnuts, Sarah, Mitzi, Iris, and Ellie form a quirky quartet of secretaries-to-be. What ensues is a lifelong friendship carried out primarily through monthly dinner parties composed of the four women and their tag-along husbands. Over a span of 50 years, children are born, hearts are broken, a president resigns, a war is lost, careers peak and crash, weight is gained and lost and gained again, and all the while food is burned, fondued, flambed, whipped up, and brought in. Sadly, but not uncommonly, the husbands pass away one by one, revealing the unfortunate fact that most women outlive their mates. The girlfriends' individual responses to widowhood illustrate that "moving on" can have a host of meanings and that grief has no time frame. As the friends face downtime, distance, and loss, each discovers that a 50-year friendship, a healthy dose of humor, and an occasional doughnut can trump whatever else life drops in your path. Karin Kasdin has authored four books, the most recent of which is Watsamatta U: A Get-A-Grip Guide to Staying Sane through Your Child's College Application Process. She currently writes a parenting blog for The Faster Times, which can be viewed at thefastertimes.com. Kasdin grew up in Rochester, New York, and now lives and writes in Bucks County, Pennsylvania where she and her husband have raised three sons.

L’ isola degli aironi bianchi

AUTORE: Sue Monk Kidd CATEGORIA: Romanzi EDITORE: Arnoldo Mondadori COLLANA: Omnibus ISBN: ANNO: Settembre ° edizione CONDIZIONI:: Come nuovo, volume doppio (e mai aperto) di una collezione privata Jessie, pittrice quarantenne sposata da molti anni con Hugh, sta attraversando un periodo di crisi dopo la partenza per il college dell’unica figlia, quando riceve una telefonata inattesa che la costringe a partire per Egret Island, un’isoletta al largo del South Carolina dove è nata e cresciuta. Deve prendersi cura dell’anziana ed eccentrica madre. È passato ormai parecchio tempo da quando Jessie è stata lì l’ultima volta, e lei è comprensibilmente turbata all’idea di tornare nei luoghi dove suo padre è morto misteriosamente in un incidente di cui ha sempre creduto di essere la responsabile. Giunta a destinazione, i ricordi d’infanzia e la natura selvaggia del posto la investono con prepotenza facendole prendere le distanze dalla rassicurante routine della vita familiare e dal marito. Egret Island è un piccolo mondo a sé, un paradiso incontaminato dove tutto sembra sospeso nel tempo e nello spazio. Riserva naturale e rifugio di uccelli meravigliosi, l’isola ospita un antico monastero, nei pressi del quale Jessie incontra Thomas, un tempo avvocato e ora monaco benedettino, che ha scelto di cambiare radicalmente la sua esistenza dopo la tragica perdita di moglie e figlio. L’attrazione fra i due è immediata e trascinante, e Jessie deve confrontarsi con un’inaspettata sete di libertà che cerca di negare a se stessa. 7.

A Few Acres of Snow: Documents in Pre-Confederation Canadian

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thorner, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Utp Higher Education, For a generation or more there have been few books that brought together in accessible form the raw materials of Canadian history. In many minds the impression has taken root that those materials are uninteresting. This collection demonstrates the contrary and that these raw materials provide extraordinarily engaging and informative insights into the richness of Canadian history. This new edition of the first volume of Broadview's two-volume anthology of documents in Canadian history, A Few Acres of Snow, presents many new documentary sources on pre-Confederation Canadian history, combined with the most compelling passages from the first edition. Each chapter offers a group of source materials on particular themes or events, beginning with reports of First Nation contacts published in the Jesuit Relations and ending with the drive to Confederation. Documents bring vividly before the reader the experience of the Acadian Expulsion, the Siege of Quebec, Irish immigration during the famine years, life in the Ontario backwoods in the early nineteenth century, and the British Columbia gold rush. Included are document groupings that focus on the history of Canada's various regions; on social, cultural, political and intellectual history; on the experiences of women, of Native peoples, of immigrants and labour. Thomas Thorner is a member of the Department of History at Kwantlen University College: this is his fourth book. Thor Frohn-Nielsen, who assisted on this project, also works in the History Department at Kwantlen. Special Combination Price: Please note that a special discount price is available when this book is ordered shrinkwrapped together with A Country Nourished onSelf-Doubt: Documents in Post-Confederation Canadian History.

Dust Bowl Diary

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Low, Ann Marie / Low, Marie A., PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, "Life in what the newspapers call 'the Dust Bowl' is becoming a gritty nightmare," Ann Marie Low wrote in . Her diary vividly captures that "gritty nightmare" as it was lived by one rural family--and by millions of other Americans. The books opens in --"the last of the good years"--when Ann Marie is a teenager living with her parents, brother, and sister on a stock farm in southeastern North Dakota. We follow her family and friends, descendants of homesteaders, through the next ten years--a time of searing summer heat and desiccated fields, dying livestock, dust to the tops of fence posts and prices at rock bottom--a time when whole communities lost their homes and livelihoods to mortgages and, hardest of all, to government recovery programs. We also see the coming to maturity of the author in the face of economic hardship, frustrating family circumstances, and the stifling restrictions that society then placed on young women. Ann Marie Low's diary, supplemented with reminiscences, offers a rich, circumstantial view of rural life a half century ago: planting and threshing before the prevalence of gasoline-powered engines, washing with rain water and ironing with sadirons, hauling coal on sleds over snow-clogged roads, going to end-of-school picnics and country dances, and hoarding the egg and cream money for college. Here, too, is an iconoclastic on-the-scene account of how a federal work project, the construction of a wildlife refuge, actually operated. Many readers will recognize parts of their own past in Ann Marie Low's story; for others it will serve as a compelling record of the Dust Bowl experience.
