Book excerpt: Extraordinary stories of ordinary men and women whose lives were changed forever by landmark legislation—and how they went on to change the country. Inspiring war stories are familiar. But what about after-the-war stories? From a Pulitzer Prize–winning author, Over Here is the Greatest Generation’s after-the-war story—vivid portraits of how the original G.I. Bill empowered an entire generation and reinvented the nation. The G.I. Bill opened college education to the masses, transformed America from a nation of renters into a nation of homeowners, and enabled an era of prosperity never before seen in the world. Doctors, teachers, engineers, researchers, and Nobel Prize winners who had never considered college an option rewrote the American Dream thanks to this most visionary legislation. “Vivid . . . Deeply moving, alive with the thrill of people from modest backgrounds discovering that the opportunities available to them were far greater than anything they had dreamed of.” —Los Angeles Times “Poignant . . . The human dramas scattered throughout the narrative are irresistible.” —The Denver Post “Fascinating . . . The book’s statistics are eye-opening, but it’s the numerous personal vignettes that bring this account to life. . . . At its best, these passages are reminiscent of Studs Terkel’s Depression-era and World War II oral histories.” —The Plain Dealer

Book excerpt: A wonderfully nostalgic and inspiring look at the center of the home front during World War II—New York City More than any other place, New York was the center of action on the home front during World War II. As Hitler came to power in Germany, American Nazis goose-stepped in Yorkville on the Upper East Side, while recently arrived Jewish émigrés found refuge on the Upper West Side. When America joined the fight, enlisted men heading for battle in Europe or the Pacific streamed through Grand Central Terminal and Pennsylvania Station. The Brooklyn Navy Yard refitted ships, and Times Square overflowed with soldiers and sailors enjoying some much-needed R & R. German U-boats attacked convoys leaving New York Harbor. Silhouetted against the gleaming skyline, ships were easy prey—debris and even bodies washed up on Long Island beaches—until the city rallied under a stringently imposed dim-out. From Rockefeller Center's Victory Gardens and Manhattan's swanky nightclubs to metal-scrap drives and carless streets, Over Here! captures the excitement, trepidation, and bustle of this legendary city during wartime. Filled with the reminiscences of ordinary and famous New Yorkers, including Walter Cronkite, Barbara Walters, and Angela Lansbury, and rich in surprising detail—from Macy's blackout boutique to Mickey Mouse gas masks for kids—this engaging look back is an illuminating tour of New York on the front lines of the home front.

Book excerpt: "On a train full of draftees heading for Europe, the DePaul sisters are looking for a third singer to transform their duo into a trio. They find her in Mitzi --a down-home girl with a secret: she's a Nazi spy with a slinky Dietrich accent and a microphone conveniently hidden in her lipstick. Seventeen rollicking Big Band numbers evoke the originals of the period while gently spoofing musical memories of the wartime era."--Publisher.
Download or read book Over Here written by Robert Schoenfeld and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an unusual and fascinating story of a young foreign medical school graduate who is beginning his four years of specialty training during the 1960s in a large County Hospital. OVER HERE picks up where Bobs first book, OVER THERE leaves off, which with humor, poignancy, and spectacular photography, colorfully described his fascinating six years of medical school in Switzerland. This new book follows Bob through his entire medical career which includes many aspects of his personal life, family illness, his successes and his personal failures. The reader will get a very unique insight into the mind of a young practicing physician as he confronts the many challenges of an evolving medical delivery system as well as those of his personal and professional life. You will read about the emergency ambulance rides he was required to make during his internship as well as some of the more interesting emergency room cases he treated and how he eventually founded and ran a very successful group practice. Be intrigued when you read about Bobs very unique and extraordinary interests outside his practice of medicine. Dr. Schoenfeld is married and has three children and four grandchildren. He maintains a strong interest in photography, both traditional and creative and has had two successful photographic exhibits in one of New Yorks most prestigious art galleries, the National Arts Club in Gramercy Park.

Book Synopsis Overeducated and Over Here: Skilled EU Migrants in Britain by : Bradley Saunders
Download or read book Overeducated and Over Here: Skilled EU Migrants in Britain written by Bradley Saunders and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK's offer of immediate free access to A8 workers resulted in a larger-than-expected influx of A8 migrants to the UK, which caused a public backlash and heated debates over the benefits and costs of large-scale immigration. Much has been written about the political and economic impact of this influx. This book focuses instead on the complex interweaving factors affecting the work and non-work lives of skilled migrant workers in the UK working in jobs which are not commensurate with their work experience, skills and interests. The focus on the European context addresses the need for a better understanding of contemporary labour mobility within the EU. The important, though often neglected, perspective of individuals who take on work below their level forms the focus of this book. In-depth interviews analyse the lived experiences of migrant workers in the UK working in jobs which are not commensurate with their qualifications and experience.

Book Synopsis Over Here, Over There by : William Brooks
Download or read book Over Here, Over There written by William Brooks and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2019-10-24 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Great War, composers and performers created music that expressed common sentiments like patriotism, grief, and anxiety. Yet music also revealed the complexities of the partnership between France, Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. At times, music reaffirmed a commitment to the shared wartime mission. At other times, it reflected conflicting views about the war from one nation to another or within a single nation.Over Here, Over There examines how composition, performance, publication, recording, censorship, and policy shaped the Atlantic allies' musical response to the war. The first section of the collection offers studies of individuals. The second concentrates on communities, whether local, transnational, or on the spectrum in-between. Essay topics range from the sinking of the Lusitania through transformations of the entertainment industry to the influenza pandemic.Contributors: Christina Bashford, William Brooks, Deniz Ertan, Barbara L. Kelly, Kendra Preston Leonard, Gayle Magee, Jeffrey Magee, Michelle Meinhart, Brian C. Thompson, and Patrick Warfield

Download or read book Drive written by Daniel H. Pink and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.
