Book Synopsis Please Pass the Biscuits, Pappy by : Bill Crawford
Download or read book Please Pass the Biscuits, Pappy written by Bill Crawford and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before movie stars Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger became governors of California, a popular radio personality with no previous political experience—who wasn't even registered to vote—swept into the governor's office of Texas. W. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel was a 1930s businessman who discovered the power of radio to sell flour. His musical shows with the Light Crust Doughboys (which launched the career of Bob Wills) and his radio homilies extolling family and Christian values found a vast, enthusiastic audience in Depression-era Texas. When Pappy decided to run for governor in 1938 as a way to sell more flour—a fact he proudly proclaimed throughout the campaign—the people of Texas voted for him in record numbers. And despite the ineptitude for politics he displayed once in office, Texans returned him to the governorship in 1940 and then elected him to the U.S. Senate in 1941 in a special election in which he defeated Lyndon Johnson, as well as to a full term as senator in 1942. While the hit film O Brother, Where Art Thou? celebrated a fictional "Please Pass the Biscuits, Pappy" O'Daniel, this book captures the essence of the real man through photographs taken by employees of the Texas Department of Public Safety, most of which are previously unpublished. Reminiscent of the work of WPA photographers such as Russell Lee and Dorothea Lange, these photos record the last unscripted era of politics when a charismatic candidate could still address a crowd from an unpainted front porch or a mobile bandstand in the back of a truck. They strikingly confirm that Pappy O'Daniel's ability to connect with people was as great in person as on the radio. To set the photos in context, Bill Crawford has written an entertaining text that discusses the political landscape in Texas and the United States in the 1930s, as well as the rise of radio as mass medium for advertising and entertainment. He also provides extensive captions for each picture. John Anderson, Photo Archivist of the Texas State Archives, discusses the work of Joel Tisdale and the other DPS photographers who left this extraordinary record of the greatest vote-getter in Texas history, who became one of America's first celebrities to cross the line from entertainment to political office.

Book excerpt: A brilliant Rex Stout murder mystery featuring Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin A bomb explodes in the desk drawer of a top TV executive.

The secretary who got passed around like an inter-office memo? Or the man who couldn’t wash the blood off his hands? Nero Wolfe didn’t want any part of it—but he was up to his neck in the toughest case of his career! “It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore.”—The New York Times Book Review
Book Synopsis Rainbows and Teardrops by : Maggie Foster
Download or read book Rainbows and Teardrops written by Maggie Foster and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-03-08 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rainbows and Teardrops is my personal story of early childhood. It is about perceiving the world and the people in it through the heart and mind of a child. Rainbows and Teardrops is an emotionally charged, real life drama that shares fear, pain, determination, hope and love. This is not a book about blame or judgement, more about how we begin to be in the world using our natural gifts and talents to overcome adversity. How to leave the past in the past while unconsciously transforming our gifts and talents into strengths, skills and resources that will serve us well later on in life. Rainbows and Teardrops is my tribute to parental patience, courage, endurance and unconditional love. This is a story about the survival of the human spirit. Sharing my story has been an emotional journey and I hope that anyone who cares for children including parents, teachers, nurses, doctors and other professional carers will benefit from this insight into a child’s world. It is often difficult for carers, especially professional carers, to recognise and evaluate the emotional damage that inappropriate adult behaviour has upon a child. As Helen Keller (1880-1968) once said: “I am only one, but I still am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something”.

Book Synopsis Rainbows from the Heart by : Barbara Bibas Montero
Download or read book Rainbows from the Heart written by Barbara Bibas Montero and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rainbows from the Heart tells of two young girls, very different, yet connected. Maya, Anglo and of relative affluent economic means, meets Luna, the daughter of Mexican migrant farm workers temporarily camped near Mayas home in rural Southwest Florida. In their brief encounters, Luna imparts a lifelong gift of a simple ritual passed down through the ages from ancient Mayan times. The exchange opens the eyes and heart of Maya, who realizes, almost without knowing, how spreading love and forgiveness enriches the giver. Interwoven into the story are elements of Mayan mysticism, which focuses on moving the struggle for justice beyond blame and anger to new possibilities in a non-violent way. Rainbows from the Heart transcends the material world and takes us beyond the human condition into a world of spirit. The story brings this gift back into the everyday lives of two young girls; using the power of ancient tradition to further this journey on earth we call life.

Book excerpt: Raising My Rainbow is Lori Duron’s frank, heartfelt, and brutally funny account of her and her family's adventures of distress and happiness raising a gender-creative son. Whereas her older son, Chase, is a Lego-loving, sports-playing boy's boy, Lori's younger son, C.J., would much rather twirl around in a pink sparkly tutu, with a Disney Princess in each hand while singing Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi." C.J. is gender variant or gender nonconforming, whichever you prefer. Whatever the term, Lori has a boy who likes girl stuff—really likes girl stuff. He floats on the gender-variation spectrum from super-macho-masculine on the left all the way to super-girly-feminine on the right. He's not all pink and not all blue. He's a muddled mess or a rainbow creation. Lori and her family choose to see the rainbow. Written in Lori's uniquely witty and warm voice and launched by her incredibly popular blog of the same name, Raising My Rainbow is the unforgettable story of her wonderful family as they navigate the often challenging but never dull privilege of raising a slightly effeminate, possibly gay, totally fabulous son. Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content

Book Synopsis Before Mandela's Rainbow by : Edward Joffe
Download or read book Before Mandela's Rainbow written by Edward Joffe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FUNNIER THAN ADRIAN MOLE AND FAR SEXIER! Does not skirt round the vast injustice of apartheid SUPERB MEMOIR Joffe is a man sui generis. Impish at times, but always interesting. Memorable and well written! AN INTIMATE, FUNNY, AND PROFOUND PERSONAL HISTORY Reading this funny, clever, sometimes vicious portrayal of growing up in Johannesburg in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, I found myself reminded of Blakes line To see a world in a grain of sand. This is because Joffe, in writing a detailed and often very amusing account of his personal adventures and misadventures, captures also the texture of the broader environment, the brutal decades of racist horror of his native land. Joffe relates events with the engaging rhythm of all great story tellers - there are villains like sadistic teachers and fatuous fathers-in-law, there are lost adolescents in pursuit of sex and meaning, there are coming of age crises and triumphs, and an almost Dickensian host of memorable, often quirky, family members and friends. Read it, and you will see what I mean. Read it and youll laugh frequently. Read it and youll better understand the last 80 years of South African history. BRILLIANT MEMOIR Fascinating portrait of life in pre-Mandela South Africa, packed with very fine vignettes. A page-turning account of adolescence and the pains of growing up.
