Book excerpt: It's the early aughts, and Nicole Sharp, a sheltered young woman from a small town, has courageously - albeit impulsively - left her friends, family, and long-time boyfriend behind to begin a new life in Boston. But when dreams of cubicle life and casual Fridays are derailed by an abysmal economy, Nicole stumbles upon a gig as a waitress in one of the city's ritziest nightclubs. Through this twist of fate, she is accepted into an exclusive club: the Boston service industry. She tumbles down the rabbit hole, captivated by all the VIP rooms, celebrity sightings, and endless after-hours parties. For her and her new friends, it's when the club doors are locked and everyone else is home asleep that their fun begins. But the nightlife is not carefree for someone who doesn't truly belong in the "VIP crowd." With mounting credit card bills, a bullying boss, an uptight roommate, and a nagging sense of guilt over ignoring everyone else in her life, Nicole struggles to find her footing. And when cracks in the glitz begin to show, she must reckon with who she's becoming, who she wants to be, and who the very important people in her life really are. Excerpt: "Anyway, what about you? What's your story?" He pointed toward me with his fork, his tone cheerful again. I had no intention of telling Josh the actual truth about me. I had planned to embody the laid-back, life-on-the-edge, cool, confident chick that one might interpret from what he referred to as "my story." I mean, if all one knew about me was that I'd picked up and moved on a whim, it was totally realistic that I could be one of those interesting, artsy free spirits who spontaneously tries new cities and starts new lives. He would have believed it. It's what I'd planned to be to him. But before I could control it, my answer to Josh's simple question morphed into a monologue about all the pain, anxiety and drama that led up to that very moment. I was aware I was talking a lot, but a sense of urgency prompted me to keep going, my hands gesturing more emphatically with every phrase. Eventually, I was no longer speaking to Josh, but talking at him, like a child excitedly telling an adult something they couldn't contain. I barely looked directly at him, but I knew Josh was listening. He nodded sympathetically and offered understanding sighs, and his gaze didn't budge when he handed the waiter his credit card. There was something about him that made me feel as though I could tell him everything. And I did. Literally, everything - up until the part about how my father always found an excuse not to talk to me when I called home. With this, my hand made a sweeping motion across the table, crashing into my near-full wine glass. Red liquid flooded across the white linen.

Download or read book Running Silver written by John Waldman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That one could “walk drishod on the backs” of schools of salmon, shad, and other fishes moving up Atlantic coast rivers was a not uncommon kind of description of their migratory runs during early Colonial times. Accounts tell of awe-inspiring numbers of spawners pushing their way upriver, the waters “running silver,” to complete life cycles that once replenished critical marine fisheries along the Eastern Seaboard. This is a hugely important, fascinating, and unique look at the fish of North America whose history and life-cycles and conservation challenges are poorly understood. Despite these primordial abundances, over the centuries these stocks were so stressed that virtually all are now severely depressed, with many biologically or commercially extinct and some simply forgotten. Running Silver will tell the story of the past, present and future of these sea-river fish. This important book will elevate public consciousness of the contrasts between the historical and the present to show the enormous legacy that has already been lost and to help inspire efforts to save what remains. Drawing on the author's thirty-year career as a scientist and educator with a passion for the native river fish of the North East, Running Silver tells the story of these endangered fish with a mix of research, historical accounts, anecdotes, personal experience, interviews, and images.

Book Synopsis Prisms of the People by : Hahrie Han
Download or read book Prisms of the People written by Hahrie Han and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grassroots organizing and collective action have always been fundamental to American democracy but have been burgeoning since the 2016 election, as people struggle to make their voices heard in this moment of societal upheaval. Unfortunately much of that action has not had the kind of impact participants might want, especially among movements representing the poor and marginalized who often have the most at stake when it comes to rights and equality. Yet, some instances of collective action have succeeded. What’s the difference between a movement that wins victories for its constituents, and one that fails? What are the factors that make collective action powerful? Prisms of the People addresses those questions and more. Using data from six movement organizations—including a coalition that organized a 104-day protest in Phoenix in 2010 and another that helped restore voting rights to the formerly incarcerated in Virginia—Hahrie Han, Elizabeth McKenna, and Michelle Oyakawa show that the power of successful movements most often is rooted in their ability to act as “prisms of the people,” turning participation into political power just as prisms transform white light into rainbows. Understanding the organizational design choices that shape the people, their leaders, and their strategies can help us understand how grassroots groups achieve their goals. Linking strong scholarship to a deep understanding of the needs and outlook of activists, Prisms of the People is the perfect book for our moment—for understanding what’s happening and propelling it forward.
