Download or read book Marble Mountain written by Bud Willis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-03-29 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marble Mountain presents a personal account of a young mans 1966 combat tour as a Marine helicopter pilot. Of the many books I have read about Vietnam, Marble Mountain wins hand down for its raw honesty, youthful naivet, and pure readability.Through riveting imagery, Bud Willis finally opens a window of understanding for readers of any age to experience the conflicting drama of one of the most challenging periods of American history. Gripping, heart-wrenching, and realistic, Buds poignant memoir lingers with the reader well beyond the conclusion of the book with a powerful message that is as relevant today as it was 45 years ago. I thank the author and all of the men of VMO-2 for the patriotism, courage, and bravery that they demonstrated for future generations. They truly sparkled as shining examples othe Marine Corpss promise of a few good men. This book should be required reading for all Americans, and its timing could make it a bestseller.

Book Synopsis Michelangelo's Mountain by : Eric Scigliano
Download or read book Michelangelo's Mountain written by Eric Scigliano and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the fascinating, crucial, and often dangerous relationship between Michelangelo and the stone quarries of Carrara in this clear-eyed and well-researched exploration that “recounts the artist's large life and lasting works with care and reverence” (Booklist). No artist looms so large in Western consciousness and culture as Michelangelo Buonarroti, the most celebrated sculptor of all time. And no place on earth provides a stone so capable of simulating the warmth and vitality of human flesh and incarnating the genius of a Michelangelo as the statuario of Carrara, the storied marble mecca at Tuscany's northwest corner. It was there, where shadowy Etruscans and Roman slaves once toiled, that Michelangelo risked his life in dozens of harrowing expeditions to secure the precious stone for his Pietà, Moses, and other masterpieces. Many books have recounted Michelangelo’s achievements in Florence and Rome. Michelangelo’s Mountain goes beyond all of them, revealing his escapades and ordeals in the spectacular landscape that was the third pole of his tumultuous career and the third wellspring of his art. Eric Scigliano brings this haunting place and eternally fascinating artist to life in a sweeping tale peopled by popes and poets, mad dukes and mythic monsters, scheming courtiers and rough-hewn quarrymen. He recounts the saga of the David, the improbable masterpiece that Michelangelo created against all odds, of the twin Hercules that he tried to erect beside it, and of the Salieri-like nemesis who snatched away the commission, turning a sculptural testament to liberty into a bitter symbol of tyranny and giving Florence the colossus it loves to hate. In showing how the artist, land, and stone transformed one another, Scigliano brings fresh insight to Michelangelo's most cherished works and illuminates his struggles with the princes and potentates of Carrara, Rome, and Medici Florence, who raised intrigue to a high art.

Download or read book Bluestocking written by Bud Willis and published by Author House. This book was released on 2009-09-22 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLUESTOCKING is a powerful, back-to-basics tribute to the American working class family, and to the courageous people who press on against all odds to make good things happen. A humorous and inspirational piece of Americana, this book has a genuine simplicity that pulls you in, and transcends the unsuspecting reader. Sprinkled with entertaining great period images and historical tidbits, this moving, nostalgic memoir has life changing power. The message of gratitude is presented with class and humor in this unforgettable, artistically shaped true story. A must read for anyone longing for the return of the core values that made our country great. The fact that this woman raised all those kids with no husband, no help and no money and received absolutely no recognition, is something that needed to be rectified. I hope my book encourages others to write down their own stories, which can be as important as any other piece of American Literature.
