Book Synopsis 42 Is Not Just a Number by : Doreen Rappaport
Download or read book 42 Is Not Just a Number written by Doreen Rappaport and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baseball, basketball, football — no matter the game, Jackie Robinson excelled. His talents would have easily landed another man a career in pro sports, but in America in the 1930s and ’40s, such opportunities were closed to athletes like Jackie for one reason: his skin was the wrong color. Settling for playing baseball in the Negro Leagues, Jackie chafed at the inability to prove himself where it mattered most: the major leagues. Then in 1946, Branch Rickey, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, decided he was going to break the “rules” of segregation: he recruited Jackie Robinson. Fiercely determined, Jackie faced cruel and sometimes violent hatred and discrimination, but he proved himself again and again, exhibiting courage, restraint, and a phenomenal ability to play the game. In this compelling biography, award-winning author Doreen Rappaport chronicles the extraordinary life of Jackie Robinson and how his achievements won over — and changed — a segregated nation.
Download or read book Summer of '42 written by Herman Raucher and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2015-05-03 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A chronicle of one summer in a boy’s coming of age”—the international bestselling classic that became the basis for the Oscar-winning film (Medium). Captivating and evocative, Herman Raucher’s semi-autobiographical tale has been made into a record-breaking Academy Award-winning hit movie, adapted for the stage, and enchanted readers for generations. In the summer of 1942, Hermie is fifteen. He is wildly obsessed with sex, and passionately in love with an “older woman” of twenty-two, whose husband is overseas and at war. Ambling through Nantucket Island with his friends, Hermie’s indelible narration chronicles his frantic efforts to become a man, especially one worthy of the lovely Dorothy, as well as his glorious and heartbreaking initiation into sex. “Mr. Raucher scores most tellingly. His recall of nervous teen-age gaucheries is dead accurate, hilarious, tinged with sadness.”—The New York Times Book Review “A charming and tender novel . . . The overall effect is one of high hilarity. Raucher is a comic-artist who is able to convey the fears and joys . . . of the boy and at the same time give older readers a wrench in the heart. ”—Publishers Weekly
Download or read book 42 Today written by MichaeL G Long and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores Jackie Robinson’s compelling and complicated legacy Before the United States Supreme Court ruled against segregation in public schools, and before Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama, Jackie Robinson walked onto the diamond on April 15, 1947, as first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers, making history as the first African American to integrate Major League Baseball in the twentieth century. Today a national icon, Robinson was a complicated man who navigated an even more complicated world that both celebrated and despised him. Many are familiar with Robinson as a baseball hero. Few, however, know of the inner turmoil that came with his historic status. Featuring piercing essays from a range of distinguished sportswriters, cultural critics, and scholars, this book explores Robinson’s perspectives and legacies on civil rights, sports, faith, youth, and nonviolence, while providing rare glimpses into the struggles and strength of one of the nation’s most athletically gifted and politically significant citizens. Featuring a foreword by celebrated directors and producers Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon, this volume recasts Jackie Robinson’s legacy and establishes how he set a precedent for future civil rights activism, from Black Lives Matter to Colin Kaepernick.

Book Synopsis Fiat CR.42 Aces of World War 2 by : Håkan Gustavsson
Download or read book Fiat CR.42 Aces of World War 2 written by Håkan Gustavsson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fiat CR.42, a logical development of the Fiat CR.32, was the last single-seat fighter biplane to be produced. It entered service with the Italian Regia Aeronautica in May 1939 before being exported to Belgium, Hungary and Sweden. Its combat debut came when the Belgian air force threw its fleet into action during the German invasion of the Low Countries on 10th May 1940. Despite being quickly overwhelmed, the Belgian pilots managed to make a number of aerial claims. The CR.42 became heavily involved in the fighting in North Africa and although it was gradually replaced by more modern fighters, it continued in a point defence and ground support role until the end of the war. Drawing on research from a range of sources, this book examines the extensive employment of the Italian fighter plane during the course of World War II.
Book Synopsis Gladiator vs CR.42 Falco by : Håkan Gustavsson
Download or read book Gladiator vs CR.42 Falco written by Håkan Gustavsson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the Gloster Gladiator and the Fiat CR.42 Falco represented the peak in the development of the biplane fighter, which could trace its lineage back to World War I. However, by the time both aircraft entered service in the late 1930s, they were already obsolete. Nevertheless, they gave sterling service on all fronts in the Mediterranean and Africa in 1940–41. Indeed, the CR.42 was the Regia Aeronautica's staple fighter in both North and East Africa, Greece and over Malta in 1940–41, during which time its pilots routinely fought British and Commonwealth squadrons equipped in the main with Gladiator biplanes. Some bitter dogfights were fought between these two types as the Allies attempted to gain control of the skies over North Africa, Greece and East Africa. Both types were flown in the main by highly experienced pre-war pilots, and this in turn made for some closely fought engagements. The first known combat between the CR.42 and the Gladiator took place on 14 June 1940 over North Africa and the last engagement between the two types occurred on 24 October 1941 over the East African front.
Download or read book Kepler 42 written by Bob Lewis and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dawn of death for planet earth began on a beautiful summer day in the middle of July in the late 21st century. Terrorists, from who knows where, succeeded in exploding a series of ‘dirty bombs' in both New York and Washington. The great city was left little more than a pile of radioactive rubble. The nation's capitol, well, Washington just disappeared! Chaos seized the nation. During the widespread panic and confusion North Korea, led by an insane leader, succeeded in striking Northern California with a hydrogen bomb launched from a submarine. Some said it was aimed at Los Angeles, but the North Koreans were never very accurate. No one dreamed they could do it. Nobody devised any plausible reason why they should. But they did. The bomb struck just south of San Francisco. The result was catastrophic. There was no more Bay Area. The retaliation by the United States was swift and deadly. In a matter of days North Korea was completely annihilated, leaving only a vast, lifeless wasteland. But how could a nation, even a powerful one, strike back against this invisible band of terrorists? They simply melted into the shadows, waiting patiently to strike again. Russia, China, and the United States cobbled together an uneasy treaty. Everyone agreed that further use of nuclear weapons would threaten all life on earth. But the damage had been done, horrible damage. Nuclear Winter was settling upon a slowly dying planet. Within three years the Russians had hastily established a lunar colony. It was the only place mankind could go to escape the horrors of a waning world. It was the only place, until now.
Download or read book Malta 1940–42 written by Ryan K. Noppen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1940, the strategically vital island of Malta was Britain's last toehold in the central Mediterranean, wreaking havoc among Axis shipping. Launching an air campaign to knock Malta out of the war, first Italy and then Germany sought to force a surrender or reduce the defences enough to allow an invasion. Drawing on original documents, multilingual aviation analyst Ryan Noppen explains how technical and tactical problems caused the original Italian air campaign of 1940–41 to fail, and then how the German intervention came close to knocking Malta out of the war. Using stunning full colour artwork, this fascinating book explains why the attempt by the Axis powers to take the British colony of Malta ultimately failed.
