Book Synopsis The Faber Book of Christmas by : Simon Rae
Download or read book The Faber Book of Christmas written by Simon Rae and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like it or loathe it, the world's greatest religious festival is far more than the traditional package (largely invented by the Victorians) of Christmas trees, cards, decorations and stockings hung out for Santa Claus. It has a long history, with roots in a variety of pagan cultures, and legends from around the world. These, with its Christian bedrock in the gospel accounts of the Nativity, are well represented in this anthology, along with accounts of Christmas spent in climatic extremes and under a wide range of circumstances. From commercial kitsch in Japan and cricketing Christmases in Australia to cannibalism on the nineteenth-century American emigrant trail and forced carol singing in a German concentration camp, Simon Rae's book is full of intriguing and challenging surprises.

Book Synopsis Let Liberty Rise!: How America’s Schoolchildren Helped Save the Statue of Liberty by : Chana Stiefel
Download or read book Let Liberty Rise!: How America’s Schoolchildren Helped Save the Statue of Liberty written by Chana Stiefel and published by Scholastic Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did 121,000 Americans save their most beloved icon? Here is an inspiring story about the power we have when we all work together! "All rise to this evocative, empowering offering." -- Kirkus Reviews On America's 100th birthday, the people of France built a giant gift! It was one of the largest statues the world had ever seen -- and she weighed as much as 40 elephants! And when she arrived on our shores in 250 pieces, she needed a pedestal to hold her up. Few of America's millionaires were willing to foot the bill. Then, Joseph Pulitzer (a poor Hungarian immigrant-cum-newspaper mogul) appealed to his fellow citizens. He invited them to contribute whatever they could, no matter how small an amount, to raise funds to mount this statue. The next day, pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters poured in. Soon, Pulitzer's campaign raised enough money to construct the pedestal. And with the help of everyday Americans (including many thousands of schoolchildren!) the Statue of Liberty rose skyward, torch ablaze, to welcome new immigrants for a life of freedom and opportunity! Chana Stiefel's charming and immediate writing style is perfectly paired with Chuck Groenink's beautiful, slyly humorous illustrations. Back matter with photographs included.

Download or read book Liberty's Charge written by Audrey Glenn and published by Daughters of Columbia Books. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will Patience choose between a charming politician and a dashing patriot? Patience Hayes is desperate to finish an important legal case for her father, but her family and friends require a great deal of attention. Although her time is precious, when a handsome, patriotic printer asks to court her, she admires him enough to give him a chance. At the same time, she starts working closely with Gilbert Brand, the brother of a man accused of treason. Although Gilbert doesn’t share Patience’s political ideals, his kindness and humor readily charms her into sharing her heart. Gilbert Brand has spent much of his life struggling for basic necessities. When he lands a position as a Delaware delegate to the Second Continental Congress, he’s determined to use the position to elevate himself into a higher station in life–or at least make sure he never misses a meal again. He’s certain that if he can marry an heiress, he’ll finally have the life he’s always dreamed of. When he offers to help a lawyer’s daughter with his brother’s appeal, he never imagined he’d find himself falling in love with clever and beautiful Patience. Her encouragement makes him start to feel he’s already worth something. The attraction between Patience and Gilbert is undeniable, but neither is sure that’s the only thing that matters to a lasting relationship. Patience has to choose between a man who can give her the life she wants and a man she’s not sure she can live without, while Gilbert has to decide if a life very different from the one he’s imagined will bring him true happiness. Can he prove to Patience that he’s worthy of her trust before it’s too late?
Download or read book Liberty's War written by Herman E. Melton and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the dark days of World War II, merchant mariners made heroic contributions to the eventual Allied victory and suffered tremendous casualties in so doing. Among these were the engineers who toiled deep in the bowels of the ship and suffered appalling casualties. After the war, engineering personnel were unlikely to talk about their experiences, let alone write them down. These modest and self-effacing men were more comfortable in a world of turbines and pistons, so they seldom brought their stories forward. Liberty’s War sets out to explore the experiences of one such engineer, Herman Melton, from his time as a cadet at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy through his experiences at sea as a third assistant engineer. Melton’s story is representative of the thousands of Merchant Marine engineers who served on board Liberty ships during the war. Like many young Americans, he sought to do his part, and in 1942 he obtained an appointment to the newly created U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York. After graduating from the academy in 1944, he shipped out to the Pacific Theatre, surviving the sinking of his Liberty ship, the SS Antoine Saugrain, and its top-secret cargo.

Download or read book Liberty's Wounds written by Jeremy Amick and published by Yorkshire Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bryce Lockwood has amassed a trove of unique military experiences during a brief span of time. Born on a small farm in rural New York State in 1939, he graduated from high school in Afton, New York in 1957. He soon made the decision to enlist in the Marine Corps and, in 1960, married his fiancee, Lois. In the next few years, his military career led to language school in Monterey, California, where he completed Russian linguist training followed by Cold War assignments in locations such as Scotland, Turkey and the former West Germany. However, the most unforgettable moment of his military assignments came with temporary orders for service aboard the USS Liberty - a U.S. intelligence ship. While serving as a Russian linguist aboard the vessel, he lived through an attack by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats during the Six-Day War, resulting in the deaths of 34 and wounding 174 Americans. As the only U.S. Marine to survive the incident, Lockwood became the recipient of a Silver Star medal for rescuing three sailors trapped in flooded compartments in addition to receiving a Purple Heart for severe burns incurred in a torpedo explosion. Lockwood later served a tour in Vietnam and, in 1971, received a medical retirement after thirteen years of service. In recent years, he has sought the truth behind the unprovoked assault on the USS Liberty, which left many of his friends severely wounded or dead. In recent decades, Lockwood has joined other Liberty survivors in petitioning Congress for an open and thorough investigation of the attack.

Book excerpt: Liberty Kovacs' life story has all the elements of the American Dream, both its myth and its reality. Breaking free from the patriarchal rule of her Greek immigrant family, she set an uneasy but independent course that led to her becoming a nurse and marrying fellow Ohioan, the poet James Wright. Headed for the fabled Land of Happiness, Life broke in with all its unpredictable misery: living in Minneapolis with their two sons, the marriage was soon riven by alcoholism, angers, unspeakable trauma and eventually bitter divorce. Bereft but courageous, Liberty set a new course and headed west to San Francisco where she had a scholarship to study psychiatric nursing. A single mother, she experienced triumphs in her profession, married again and bore a third son - that household too fell victim to unhappiness and despairs. Yet with each blow, her spirit rose again and again, never giving up on herself or her sons, whom she writes about with disarming openness. -Merrill Leffler, publisher of Dryad Press, author of Partly Panemonium, Partly Love, Take Hold
