Download or read book Bad Monkey written by Carl Hiaasen and published by Vintage Crime/Black Lizard. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wickedly funny novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Squeeze Me in which the greedy, the corrupt, and the degraders of what’s left of pristine Florida—now, of the Bahamas as well—get their comeuppance. “[A] comedic marvel … [Hiaasen] hasn’t written a novel this funny since Skinny Dip.”—The New York Times Andrew Yancy—late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff’s office—has a human arm in his freezer. There’s a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it’s not called the roach patrol for nothing). But first—this being Hiaasen country—Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including his just-ex lover, a hot-blooded fugitive from Kansas; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen, whose suitors are blinded unto death by her peculiar charms; Yancy’s new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey, who with hilarious aplomb earns his place among Carl Hiaasen’s greatest characters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller • Finalist for the National Book Award • Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award • A Best Book of the Year as chosen by the New York Times (Notable), Seattle Times, San Francisco Chronicle, The Atlantic, St. Louis Post Dispatch, The Oregonian, and Book Page. "Masterful…Evocative and moving." —NPR For twenty-five years, a reclusive American novelist has been writing at the desk she inherited from a young Chilean poet who disappeared at the hands of Pinochet’s secret police; one day a girl claiming to be the poet’s daughter arrives to take it away, sending the writer’s life reeling. Across the ocean, in the leafy suburbs of London, a man caring for his dying wife discovers, among her papers, a lock of hair that unravels a terrible secret. In Jerusalem, an antiques dealer slowly reassembles his father’s study, plundered by the Nazis in Budapest in 1944. Connecting these stories is a desk of many drawers that exerts a power over those who possess it or have given it away. As the narrators of Great House make their confessions, the desk takes on more and more meaning, and comes finally to stand for all that has been taken from them, and all that binds them to what has disappeared. Great House is a story haunted by questions: What do we pass on to our children and how do they absorb our dreams and losses? How do we respond to disappearance, destruction, and change? Nicole Krauss has written a soaring, powerful novel about memory struggling to create a meaningful permanence in the face of inevitable loss. "This is a novel about the long journey of a magnificent desk as it travels through the twentieth century from one owner to the next. It is also a novel about love, exile, the defilements of war, and the restorative power of language." —National Book Award citation

Book Synopsis The Baseball Codes by : Jason Turbow
Download or read book The Baseball Codes written by Jason Turbow and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insider’s look at baseball’s unwritten rules, explained with examples from the game’s most fascinating characters and wildest historical moments. Everyone knows that baseball is a game of intricate regulations, but it turns out to be even more complicated than we realize. All aspects of baseball—hitting, pitching, and baserunning—are affected by the Code, a set of unwritten rules that governs the Major League game. Some of these rules are openly discussed (don’t steal a base with a big lead late in the game), while others are known only to a minority of players (don’t cross between the catcher and the pitcher on the way to the batter’s box). In The Baseball Codes, old-timers and all-time greats share their insights into the game’s most hallowed—and least known—traditions. For the learned and the casual baseball fan alike, the result is illuminating and thoroughly entertaining. At the heart of this book are incredible and often hilarious stories involving national heroes (like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays) and notorious headhunters (like Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale) in a century-long series of confrontations over respect, honor, and the soul of the game. With The Baseball Codes, we see for the first time the game as it’s actually played, through the eyes of the players on the field. With rollicking stories from the past and new perspectives on baseball’s informal rulebook, The Baseball Codes is a must for every fan.

Book Synopsis Sandy Hook by : Elizabeth Williamson
Download or read book Sandy Hook written by Elizabeth Williamson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carnegie Medal Nonfiction Longlist 2023 The Washington Post Best Non-Fiction Books of 2022 Publishers Weekly Best Books 2022 Kirkus Best Non-Fiction Books of 2022 Slate Best Books 2022 Chicago Tribune Best Books 2022 Los Angeles Times Best Books 2022 Based on hundreds of hours of research, interviews, and access to exclusive sources and materials, Sandy Hook is Elizabeth Williamson’s landmark investigation of the aftermath of a school shooting, the work of Sandy Hook parents who fought to defend themselves, and the truth of their children’s fate against the frenzied distortions of online deniers and conspiracy theorists. On December 14, 2012, a gunman killed twenty first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Ten years later, Sandy Hook has become a foundational story of how false conspiracy narratives and malicious misinformation have gained traction in society. One of the nation’s most devastating mass shootings, Sandy Hook was used to create destructive and painful myths. Driven by ideology or profit, or for no sound reason at all, some people insisted it never occurred, or was staged by the federal government as a pretext for seizing Americans’ firearms. They tormented the victims’ relatives online, accosted them on the street and at memorial events, accusing them of faking their loved ones’ murders. Some family members have been stalked and forced into hiding. A gun was fired into the home of one parent. Present at the creation of this terrible crusade was Alex Jones’s Infowars, a far-right outlet that aired noxious Sandy Hook theories to millions and raised money for the conspiracy theorists’ quest to “prove” the shooting didn’t happen. Enabled by Facebook, YouTube, and other social media companies’ failure to curb harmful content, the conspiracists’ questions grew into suspicion, suspicion grew into demands for more proof, and unanswered demands turned into rage. This pattern of denial and attack would come to characterize some Americans’ response to almost every major event, from mass shootings to the coronavirus pandemic to the 2020 presidential election, in which President Trump’s false claims of a rigged result prompted the January 6, 2021, assault on a bastion of democracy, the U.S. Capitol. The Sandy Hook families, led by the father of the youngest victim, refused to accept this. Sandy Hook is the story of their battle to preserve their loved ones’ legacies even in the face of threats to their own lives. Through exhaustive reporting, narrative storytelling, and intimate portraits, Sandy Hook is the definitive book on one of the most shocking cultural ruptures of the internet era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book Synopsis Hollywood's Master Showman by : Charles Beardsley
Download or read book Hollywood's Master Showman written by Charles Beardsley and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sidney Patrick Grauman (1879-1950) was the dominant movie palace impresario west of Chicago in the 1920s and one of the most flamboyantly successful theatrical talents ever associated with films. His story is the story of early motion pictures in Hollywood, a colorful and fascinating tale that needed to be told. Charles Beardsley has captured the narrative of Grauman's life using the words of the press, the accounts of friends, and analysis of his works. It is indeed a comprehensive and enlightening effort. Gentle and generous, soft-spoken and mild-mannered, possessing a wicked sense of humor and a brilliant imagination, Grauman had a genius for translating his personal visions into stage spectacles of awesome proportions. He was responsible for the design and construction of several famous and highly sophisticated Los Angeles theaters that bore his name over their marquees: Grauman's Million Dollar, Grauman's Egyptian, Grauman's Metropolitan, and Grauman's Chinese. He is credited with creation of the movie prologue, a type of stage show that he developed to precede the first-run silent films he exhibited. Many of the stage features that Grauman introduced have since become standard technical theater procedure and as such are in wide use today. In addition to being an industry giant, Sid Grauman was a friendly, generous, much-loved individual who adored practical jokes and enjoyed playing them upon such people as Charlie Chaplin. An affable man, Grauman was a gregarious personality who numbered among his associates the Hollywood greats: Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson, Dorothy and Lillian Gish, William S. Hart, Mabel Normand, Marion Davies, Cecil B. DeMille, D.W. Griffith, and Fred Niblo. Within these pages are a wealth of anecdotes about these people and many others who were prominent in developing silent films into the most popular universal entertainment medium of its time. Grauman's sumptuous movie palaces, elaborate and innovative staging, and keen eye for talent and publicity made him a legend in his lifetime, a man who is still remembered with awe and respect by all who saw his work in its prime. While this book deals extensively with the details of Grauman's management of his various houses, it is no mere documentary. Nor is it a chronological biography, since it explains Grauman's career and major professional achievements. Instead, it is a collection of narrative flashes, accurately reproducing the spirit of Grauman's life and times, that pick out an event in one decade to describe and illuminate an event in another. Grauman obtained his first taste of show business working with his father at Dawson, Alaska, during the 1898 Yukon Gold Rush and went on to become "Mr. Show Business" of Hollywood. This affectionate memoir covers Grauman's early years, his San Francisco theaters and his many discoveries, including Fatty Arbuckle, Al Jolson, Jackie Coogan, and Myrna Loy. The brilliant parade of prologues presented in the five Los Angeles Grauman houses and the premieres that drew crowds of over one hundred thousand screaming fans are described in vivid detail. Anecdotal and descriptive, this book goes behind the scenes to explain how Grauman designed and built his unique theaters, how he worked, and how he blended his prologues with live actors and symphony orchestras to enhance every film that he presented. Often called the Barnum of Hollywood, Sid Grauman was a great deal more. Not only did he glorify the movie prologue, he invented the red-carpet premiere. A colorful blend of Max Reinhardt, Sergei Diaghilev, David Belasco, Flo Ziegfeld, and Buffalo Bill Cody, he was still very much an original who left his singular mark on the silent film era. Until this lively, detailed portrait of the maestro, Grauman has never been fully documented. But that gap, a major one in the history of American films, has now been filled by this entertaining volume. Illustrated with period photographs, in black and white and color, a vivid portrait of this master showman has been achieved."--Dust jacket.
