Book Synopsis Make Quilts Not War by : Arlene Sachitano
Download or read book Make Quilts Not War written by Arlene Sachitano and published by Zumaya Enigma. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s wintertime in Foggy Point, Washington, and tourists are as scarce as gold-plated thimbles at a thrift store. The denizens of the town decide that a colorful 1960s-themed festival is just the event to bring people out and get them moving and, hopefully, spending their money in the community. Clad in bellbottom jeans, granny dresses and afro wigs, the Loose Threads quilt group is excited to participate in the associated quilt display. All, that is, except Jenny Logan, the only member who has an authentic quilt from that era. Reluctantly, she agrees to display and talk about her quilt. A costumed participant is shot in front of Jenny’s quilt. Coincidence? Or is the quilt’s past endangering its owner’s future?
Download or read book Make Love, Not War written by David Allyn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Helen Gurley Brown's Sex and the Single Girl hit bookstores in 1962, the sexual revolution was launched and there was no turning back. Soon came the pill, the end of censorship, the advent of feminism, and the rise of commercial pornography. Our daily lives changed in an unprecedented time of sexual openness and experimentation. Make Love, Not War is the first serious treatment of the complicated events, ideas, and personalities that drove the sexual revolution forward. Based on first-hand accounts, diaries, interviews, and period research, it traces changes in private lives and public discourse from the fearful fifties to the first tremors of rebellion in the early sixties to the heady heyday of the revolution. Bringing a fresh perspective to the turbulence of these decades, David Allyn argues that the sexual revolutionaries of the '60s and '70s, by telling the truth about their own histories and desires, forced all Americans to re-examine the very meaning of freedom. Written with a historian's attention to nuance and a novelist's narrative drive, Make Love, Not War is a provocative, vivid, and thoughtful account of one of the most captivating episodes in American history. Also includes an 8-page insert.

Download or read book Coffee written by Jonathan Morris and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us can’t make it through morning without our cup (or cups) of joe, and we’re not alone. Coffee is a global beverage: it’s grown commercially on four continents and consumed enthusiastically on all seven—and there is even an Italian espresso machine on the International Space Station. Coffee’s journey has taken it from the forests of Ethiopia to the fincas of Latin America, from Ottoman coffee houses to “Third Wave” cafés, and from the simple coffee pot to the capsule machine. In Coffee: A Global History, Jonathan Morris explains both how the world acquired a taste for this humble bean, and why the beverage tastes so differently throughout the world. Sifting through the grounds of coffee history, Morris discusses the diverse cast of caffeinated characters who drank coffee, why and where they did so, as well as how it was prepared and what it tasted like. He identifies the regions and ways in which coffee has been grown, who worked the farms and who owned them, and how the beans were processed, traded, and transported. Morris also explores the businesses behind coffee—the brokers, roasters, and machine manufacturers—and dissects the geopolitics linking producers to consumers. Written in a style as invigorating as that first cup of Java, and featuring fantastic recipes, images, stories, and surprising facts, Coffee will fascinate foodies, food historians, baristas, and the many people who regard this ancient brew as a staple of modern life.

Book Synopsis Black Coffee Lightning David Lynch Returns to Twin Peaks by : Greg Olson
Download or read book Black Coffee Lightning David Lynch Returns to Twin Peaks written by Greg Olson and published by Fayetteville Mafia Press. This book was released on 2024-02-24 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greg Olson, author of David Lynch: Beautiful Dark, the essential book on Lynch' s life and art, has resided in the Twin Peaks region of the Northwest for decades, and David Lynch spent youthful years in the Northwest; both of their fathers were woodsmen. Lynch believes that the world hums with spirituality, and over a thirty-year span Lynch and Mark Frost created forty-eight hours of Twin Peaks TV and film, hypnotic cinematic music immersed in the depths and divine heights of human nature, an artistic song of the forest, America, the world, the cosmos. David Lynch is an international icon of visionary artistic innovation, humanistic thought and philanthropy, and spiritual exploration, and Twin Peaks: The Return is his magnum opus, a mytho-poetic summation of his deepest beliefs and concerns. Author Olson, in his characteristically intimate and personal way, traces the Twin Peaks currents of Lynch' s emotional-visceral storytelling, themes, imagery and sound: the way the artist and viewer share an electrified circuit of mystery and understanding. Olson details Lynch' s kinship with transcendence-seeking artists like William Blake, Walt Whitman, Jean Cocteau, Philip K. Dick and the post-World War II mystical Northwest painters. Small town values, coffee culture, the color pink, the Bible, Vedic literature, Marvel Comics Superheroes, and a Parisian camera crew wanting Olson to guide them throughTwin Peaks territory all make appearances. Olson' s chronicle includes personal interaction with Lynch, his colleagues, and the artist' s inner world of karmic balancing, reincarnation, spiritual evolution, and veneration of women. Twin Peaks centers on the abiding presence of a lost woman, Laura Palmer, the downward, then upward arc of her life, afterlife, and goddess potential. Olson. Lynch and Twin Peaks have been on parallel tracks for decades. Olson' s longtime love, Linda Bowers, died shortly before Twin Peaks: The Return aired, and his lived experience with Lynch' s art speaks to the healing power of artistic engagement.

Book excerpt: Major Crimes Detective John Albora is called to the murder scene of young, wealthy banker, G. Roderick Von Ness, at the mansion on Long Island’s Gold Coast. Roddy’s beautiful widow, Cherry, found his body in the early morning hours and called the police. She alone survives him. Several weeks before, five, high-powered New York bankers joined forces on a major real estate deal and now their projects could lose millions of dollars. The borrower, an underhanded Texan willing to try anything to win, forces the bankers’ hands through lies, trickery and women. So now, one banker is murdered, but only one of the five remains alive and well. Roddy was one of those five bankers. What happened to the other three? And the one who still lives? The case grows cold as Detective Albora is blocked at every turn. His FBI buddy, Bob Wilhelm, experiences setbacks in his investigation, too. Suspects come and suspects go, but old cops point the way. Dianne Goodwin enters Albora’s life, introduced by her young friend, Lanie Barnes, and Hunter Zane, Lanie’s unstable acquaintance. Zane, a broken, former CIA operative, is still willing to do things for a price, as John and Dianne are drawn together keeping secrets from the other. Their intimacy is disrupted by circumstances but neither will force the issue. Right now, it’s all too easy. As weeks pass, Roddy’s murder investigation becomes stale but good police work and the killer’s gross misjudgment brings the case to light. The story travels from New York’s Long Island to the Florida Keys with stops along the way. Who will do the right thing to get Roddy’s killer? What of John Albora and Dianne, and his old cop friends? And of course, the lovely widow and all of Roddy’s assets?
