Book excerpt: Long before Oliver Sacks became a distinguished neurologist and bestselling writer, he was a small English boy fascinated by metals–also by chemical reactions (the louder and smellier the better), photography, squids and cuttlefish, H.G. Wells, and the periodic table. In this endlessly charming and eloquent memoir, the author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Awakenings chronicles his love affair with science and the magnificently odd and sometimes harrowing childhood in which that love affair unfolded. In Uncle Tungsten we meet Sacks’ extraordinary family, from his surgeon mother (who introduces the fourteen-year-old Oliver to the art of human dissection) and his father, a family doctor who imbues in his son an early enthusiasm for housecalls, to his “Uncle Tungsten,” whose factory produces tungsten-filament lightbulbs. We follow the young Oliver as he is exiled at the age of six to a grim, sadistic boarding school to escape the London Blitz, and later watch as he sets about passionately reliving the exploits of his chemical heroes–in his own home laboratory. Uncle Tungsten is a crystalline view of a brilliant young mind springing to life, a story of growing up which is by turns elegiac, comic, and wistful, full of the electrifying joy of discovery.

Download or read book Chosen written by Stephen Mills and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An unparalleled achievement, a work of shattering, almost unbearable radiance. I did not stop crying throughout. For Mills. For my young self. For all of us who have lived and continue to live in that pitiless abyss of childhood abuse. To read this courageous book is to be transformed utterly by Mills's empathy, resilience, and grace. Mark my words: Chosen is destined to be a classic because this is a book that will save lives." —Junot Díaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao At thirteen years old, Stephen Mills is chosen for special attention by the director of his Jewish summer camp, a charismatic social worker intent on becoming his friend. Stephen, whose father died when he was four, places his trust in this authority figure, who first grooms and then molests him for two years. Stephen tells no one, but the aftershocks rip through his adult life, as intense as his denial: self-loathing, drug abuse, petty crime, and horrific nightmares, all made worse by the discovery that his abuser is moving from camp to camp, state to state, molesting other boys. Only physical and mental collapse bring Stephen to confront the truth of his boyhood and begin the painful process of recovery—as well as a decades-long crusade to stop a serial predator, find justice, and hold to account those who failed the children in their care. The trauma of sexual abuse is shared by one out of every six men, yet very few have broken their silence. Unflinching and compulsively readable, Chosen eloquently speaks for those countless others and their families. It is a rare act of consummate courage and generosity—the indelible story of a man who faces his torment and his tormentor and, in the process, is made whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boyhood Reminiscences, 1855-1865 They say that when a man develops reminiscent tendencies and makes the past the burden of his thoughts and conversation, while the avid present and future are crying for attention, it is a sign of approaching age. Be that as it may, I am going to take the risk of being classed as venerable and give to those who care to read, a few personal temin iscences covering boy life in D'ansville during the decade from 1855 to 1865. These ten years cover that period of my life, from five to fifteen when the brain takes new impressions from day to day and stores. Them away for future dissection. These impressions are indelible and it is a recognized fact that the aged to whom the events of yesterday are a blank, are constantly recurring to the things that happened in childhood. Now these phonographic records stored away in my brain cabinet for more than half a century I am going to take down and grind out for my own pleasure mainly, but if they interest the older people at all and show to the young what we boys and girls did away back in the middle of the 19th century I shall not consider my labor in vain. It is a fact that from the time the brain cells begin to take and hold impressions at the age of five and so on to fifteen when the normal youth begins to put off childish things, is the most important period in the life of a man. It is during this time that the seeds of good and evil are sown, and as they are sown even so shall the future develop the individual. In offering these sketches, the writer warns those who read that their actual historical value may not be very great. These notes are simply the digging up of mental data stored up for many years and no responsibility will be taken for errors in dates, names and local events. Remember that the author was only a boy, with a rapidly developing sensitive brain, quick to take impressions and often no doubt taking them incorrectly. His radius of observation was also a small one, centering at the home and growing fainter and less obvious as the circle developed, so criticism is not invited. The truth shall be strictly adhered to and the pardon of any descendants of those who may be mentioned in a possibly humorous - never unkind way in these papers, is solicited in advance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boyhood Reminiscences: Pictures of New England, Life in the Olden Times, in Williamstown When I commenced writing these Reminiscences it was not with any idea of publishing them. But the local editor of the North Adams Transcript, seeing the first article, solicited it for publication and I acquiesced and a number of the articles have been published in that paper. Some who read them asked me to have the articles republished in book form. They may interest some of the older persons who lived in Williamstown in those olden times and were familiar with the characters, homes, and people described. They may be of interest, also, to some of the graduates of the College. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Memories of a Gay Catholic Boyhood written by John D'Emilio and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John D’Emilio is one of the leading historians of his generation and a pioneering figure in the field of LGBTQ history. At times his life has been seemingly at odds with his upbringing. How does a boy from an Italian immigrant family in which everyone unfailingly went to confession and Sunday Mass become a lapsed Catholic? How does a family who worshipped Senator Joseph McCarthy and supported Richard Nixon produce an antiwar activist and pacifist? How does a family in which the word divorce was never spoken raise a son who comes to explore the hidden gay sexual underworld of New York City? Memories of a Gay Catholic Boyhood is D’Emilio’s coming-of-age story in which he takes readers from his working-class Bronx neighborhood to an elite Jesuit high school in Manhattan to Columbia University and the political and social upheavals of the late 1960s. He shares his personal experiences of growing up in a conservative, tight-knit, multigenerational family, how he went from considering entering the priesthood to losing his faith and coming to terms with his same-sex desires. Throughout, D’Emilio outlines his complicated relationship with his family while showing how his passion for activism influenced his decision to use research, writing, and teaching to build a strong LGBTQ movement. This is not just John D’Emilio’s personal story; it opens a window into how the conformist baby boom decade of the 1950s transformed into the tumultuous years of radical social movements and widespread protest during the 1960s. It is the story of what happens when different cultures and values collide and the tensions and possibilities for personal discovery and growth that emerge. Intimate and honest, D’Emilio’s story will resonate with anyone who has had to chart their own path in a world they did not expect to find.
