Book excerpt: How can one begin a worthwhile story without the immortal words Once upon a Time? My Once upon a Time is set in the 1940s and fabulous '50s, a time where our world was being redefined by a post-war economic boom, all the while remaining true to the universal and unchanging plights and endeavors of humanity that will forever remain untouched by the passage of generations. It is a story of my boyhood in Thomas, Oklahoma, from my earliest childhood memories all the way through high school graduation. And like my world at the time, my story both uniquely defines me and simultaneously reflects my mere commonality to all mankind. Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" implies that everyone and everything will ultimately be forgotten: "Nothing beside remains . . ." It is this espousal that should compel those of us who have stories to tell, and each of us does, to write them down, to pen them into timeless monuments to the past and heralds to the future before they escape into the mists of history. As we age, our treasured memories age with us . . . evolving into greater and greater historical and personal significance, but fading and calcifying as time marches on. Napoleon said that geography is destiny. I hope you'll find within these pages that mine was a blessed destiny . . . one each of us can find some relic to share in and relate to as I recount endearing times at home with my family, adventures with my brothers, and infamous school day escapades with my classmates who helped carry the 40's and 50's into the memories of our hearts.

Book Synopsis Cultural, Autobiographical and Absent Memories of Orphanhood by : Delyth Edwards
Download or read book Cultural, Autobiographical and Absent Memories of Orphanhood written by Delyth Edwards and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an empirically informed understanding of how cultural, autobiographical and absent memories of orphanhood interact and interconnect or come into being in the re-telling of a life story and construction of an identity. The volume investigates how care experienced identities are embedded within personal, social and cultural practices of remembering. The book stems from research carried out into the life (hi)stories of twelve undervalued ‘historical witnesses’ (Roberts, 2002) of orphanhood: women who grew up in Nazareth House children’s home in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Several themes are covered, including histories of care in Northern Ireland, narratives and memories, sociologies of home, and self and identity. The result is an impressive text that works to introduce readers to the complexity of memory for care experienced people and what this means for their life story and identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

Book Synopsis The Old Home Place by : Alvin H. 'Al' Terrell
Download or read book The Old Home Place written by Alvin H. 'Al' Terrell and published by BLACK OAK MEDIA INC. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "America, home of the brave and the free" This is a well-deserved description of America, but it hardly describes the complexity of our great nation. Describing America would be like describing a large, moving picture that is constantly changing. Each of its many components is different than all the others. To understand America one would have to understand every individual, in every culture, in every community. To leave out any piece of the big picture would distort America's image and deny the opportunity to know America itself. This book gives the reader a piece of the big picture that represents a bygone era. As a nation, we have made a lot of progress over the years and we can be proud of our accomplishments, but we should remember, our roots are the foundation of our success. Go back in time with the author to relive the old stories just as they happened in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s in rural Arkansas. Experience the humor, nostalgia, and the tragedy of a bygone era. Each reader will experience something different, but will come away enlightened having enjoyed these glimpses of a simpler time.
Book Synopsis A Time of Our Lives: How we grew up from the 1940s to the 1960s by : Gerald Rice
Download or read book A Time of Our Lives: How we grew up from the 1940s to the 1960s written by Gerald Rice and published by A Time of Our Lives Ltd. This book was released on 2014 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have often regretted that I did not ask my parents and grandparents what their lives were like when they were growing up and now much of what they knew and took for granted has been lost. My father and mother were both born almost 100 years before this book was written – my mother's father 136 years before. My father's father, born in 1891, worked in a linen mill as a “rougher” in 1911 and his thirteen year old sister worked in the same mill as a “doffer”. Neither of these jobs exist any more in this country and, while I might guess what a rougher did, I had no idea what a doffer's duties were until I searched on Google and discovered that she cleared heavy full bobbins from a spinning frame and replaced them with empty ones so that the machinery could continue spinning the linen yarn. How many similar changes have taken place since my grandparents were children that we no longer even know about? This book is an attempt to preserve for my children and grandchildren, and anyone else who might be interested, something of what it was like to grow up between the 1940s and 1960s (although there are some, perhaps many, who would say that I never grew up). I hope to show with examples from my own and others’ experiences, how people, especially young people, lived in the period from the 1940’s to the 1960’s - or, the “olden times”, that my children sometimes asked about when they were very young - and so bring to mind some of the happenings, sights, sounds and even smells of those days which were, in some ways, a golden time in which to be growing up in but an often difficult one for those already grown up. The book is also intended, for those of a similar age to my own, to be a walk through the meandering lanes of memories of our younger days but also to give our children and grand-children an idea of a time when ten year olds could go off on their own, or with one or two friends, for hours at a time and no one would be worried about what had happened to them or concerned that they might have fallen into some danger. Few “Health and Safety” regulations existed but instead, common sense usually prevailed. This was a time when children played in the street without danger from the few cars around, when they listened to Children’s Hour at five o’clock on the radio and, unless they were among the very, very few who had television at home, could only crowd round the windows of radio shops to watch the flickering black and white pictures of Muffin the Mule and of the Coronation in 1953 on small screen television sets. It was a time when children enjoyed simple pleasures, not that much different from their parents and grandparents. If we wanted to meet friends, we went round to their houses to see if they were in. We couldn’t call on a mobile phone, or even an ordinary landline phone because very few people where we lived had such a thing in the house. We certainly weren’t connected electronically 24/7 (what a dispiriting expression). We couldn’t text or tweet, so all contacts with our friends were face to face. We found enjoyment in skipping stones across a pond, in not stepping on the cracks in the pavement, in building up pictures in our minds while listening to the wireless and, certainly in my case, in reading. Perhaps we benefited from using our own imaginations to amuse ourselves, rather than relying on a constant barrage of images from a screen. The world of my childhood was certainly slower and simpler than now but I think this meant that we had more time just to be children. It was a time when we were satisfied with having less because there was less to have. This book is not intended as an autobiography, although, obviously, a considerable number of events of my life are included and the second part of the book tells of what was, for me, a very interesting and even exciting adventure in my early twenties. I hope you will also find it interesting. Rather than the book being an autobiography, I hope to show by episodes in my life and those of others what it was like to grow up in an aspirational and loving working class family, and many of these, and similar episodes, would have been part of the experience of growing up for many hundreds of thousands, indeed millions, of boys and girls around my age during the years about which I am writing. The book is largely in chronological order but not rigidly so, as I remember aspects of growing up in connection with different topics covered, hence the “meandering lanes of memories” mentioned above.

Book Synopsis History of Arbovirology: Memories from the Field by : Nikos Vasilakis
Download or read book History of Arbovirology: Memories from the Field written by Nikos Vasilakis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These books bring together a panel of expert arbovirologists who recall the history of arbovirology from very personal perspectives. In these timely volumes, the authors describe seminal moments in their experiences in the field and how they integrated these findings with lab studies to further clarify the ecology and epidemiology of diverse arboviruses. Authors identify the most pressing questions that remain to be answered, providing a basis for current research and a stimulus to engage those entering the field. Over the last 20 years a generational gap has developed between the giants of arbovirus research and discovery and the new generation. This gap developed due to an ebbing of training and investment in passing the scepter to the next generation, leading to a lack of continuity among the generations that threatens to derail the rich history of virus discovery, field epidemiology and understanding of the richness of diversity that surrounds us. This lack of continuity may have immediate and disastrous consequences for public health when yet to be discovered arboviruses emerge. The purpose of these books is to bridge this gap by providing a historical context for the work being done today and provide continuity between the generations. To this end, the books provide a narrative of the thrill of scientific discovery and excitement of field adventures and lab studies of that generation -- essential reading for every arbovirologist, and highly recommended for all virologists and public health officials, as well as those students considering future research options. Volume I consists of the personal reflections of arbovirologists who played a significant role in the advancement of arbovirology across the globe. Volume II transitions to descriptions of region-specific and virus family-specific perspectives of arbovirology, as well as recollections of the early events of molecular advances and pathogenesis studies. Volume I presents personal reflections from arbovirologists key to the understanding and advancement of this field Offers a comprehensive historical analysis of arbovirology by crucial contributors to this field First-hand narratives of seminal studies and experiments, illuminating how these have contributed to current knowledge

Book Synopsis Hollywood Remembrance and American War by : Andrew Rayment
Download or read book Hollywood Remembrance and American War written by Andrew Rayment and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hollywood Remembrance and American War addresses the synergy between Hollywood war films and American forms of war remembrance. Subjecting the notion that war films ought to be considered ʻthe war memorials of today’ to critical scrutiny, the book develops a theoretical understanding of how Hollywood war films, as rhetorical sites of remembering and memory, reflect, replicate and resist American modes of remembrance. The authors first develop the framework for, and elaborate on, the co-evolution of Hollywood war cinema and American war memorialization in the historical, political and ideological terms of remembrance, and the parallel synergic relationship between the aesthetic and industrial status of Hollywood war cinema and the remembering of American war on film. The chapters then move to analysis of Hollywood war films – covering The Great War, World War II, The Korean War, The Vietnam War, The Cold War, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq – and critically scrutinize the terms upon which a film could be considered a memorial to the war it represents. Bringing together the fields of film studies and memory studies, this book will be of interest to scholars and students in not just these areas but those in the fields of history, media and cultural studies more broadly, too.
