Book excerpt: With his dying breath, Lena's father asks his family a cryptic question: "You couldn't tell, could you?" After his passing, Lena stumbles upon the answer that changes her life forever. As her revolutionary neighbor mysteriously disappears during Josef Stalin's Great Terror purges, 18-year-old Regina suspects that she's the Kremlin's next target. Under cover of the night, she flees from her parents' communal apartment in 1930s Moscow to the 20th century's first Jewish Autonomous Region, Birobidzhan, on the border between Russia and China. Once there, Regina has to grapple with her preconceived notions of socialism and Judaism while asking herself the eternal question: What do we owe each other? How can we best help one another? While she contends with these queries and struggles to help Birobidzhan establish itself, love and war are on the horizon. New York Times Bestselling author Alina Adams draws on her own experiences as a Jewish refugee from Odessa, USSR as she provides readers a rare glimpse into the world's first Jewish Autonomous Region. My Mother's Secret is rooted in detailed research about a little known chapter of Soviet and Jewish history while exploring universal themes of identity, love, loss, war, and parenthood. Readers can expect a whirlwind journey as Regina finds herself and her courage within one of the century's most tumultuous eras.

Book Synopsis Skateboarding LA by : Gregory J. Snyder
Download or read book Skateboarding LA written by Gregory J. Snyder and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inside the complex and misunderstood world of professional street skateboarding On a sunny Sunday in Los Angeles, a crew of skaters and videographers watch as one of them attempts to land a “heel flip” over a fire hydrant on a sidewalk in front of the Biltmore Hotel. A staff member of the hotel demands they leave and picks up his phone to call the police.Not only does the skater land the trick, but he does so quickly, and spares everyone the unwanted stress of having to deal with the cops. This is not an uncommon occurrence in skateboarding, which is illegal in most American cities and this interaction is just part of the process of being a professional street skater. This is just one of Gregory Snyder’s experiences from eight years inside the world of professional street skateboarding: a highly refined, athletic and aesthetic pursuit, from which a large number of people profit. Skateboarding LA details the history of skateboarding, describes basic and complex tricks, tours some of LA's most famous spots, and provides an enthusiastic appreciation of this dangerous and creative practice. Particularly concerned with public spaces, Snyder shows that skateboarding offers cities much more than petty vandalism and exaggerated claims of destruction. Rather, skateboarding draws highly talented young people from around the globe to skateboarding cities, building a diverse and wide-reaching community of skateboarders, filmmakers, photographers, writers, and entrepreneurs. Snyder also argues that as stewards of public plazas and parks, skateboarders deter homeless encampments and drug dealers. In one stunning case, skateboarders transformed the West LA Courthouse, with Nike’s assistance, into a skateable public space. Through interviews with current and former professional skateboarders, Snyder vividly expresses their passion, dedication and creativity. Especially in relation to the city's architectural features—ledges, banks, gaps, stairs and handrails—they are constantly re-imagining and repurposing these urban spaces in order to perform their ever-increasingly difficult tricks. For anyone interested in this dynamic and daunting activity, Skateboarding LA is an amazing ride.

Book excerpt: now a major motion picture directed by Gus Van Sant (My Own Private Idaho, Good Will Hunting, and Milk) It was an accident. He didn’t mean to kill the security guard with his skateboard—it was self-defense. But there’s no one to back up his story. No one even knows he was at Paranoid Park. Should he confess, or can he get away with it? It’s an ethical question no one should have to answer. Writing more intensely than ever before, Blake Nelson delivers a film noir in book form, complete with interior monologue and dark, psychological drama. This is a riveting look at one boy’s fall into a world of crime, guilt, and fear—and his desperate attempt to get out again.

Book excerpt: It is the year 2002. As Delilah Maconwood struggles with her mother's untimely death, old memories surface and Delilah's marriage starts to crumble. Outside support offers a glimmer of hope until Delilah experiences a traumatic event that escalates her mental unraveling and eventually leads to bloodshed. ROLLER SKATE SKINNY is written from the perspective of an unreliable (mentally ill) narrator in the midst of a life crisis. The novel is comparable to My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite or The Lost by Sarah Beth Durst. It is also comparable to We Need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver. Award winning editor M. T. Hussey stated that Roller Skate Skinny contains "great visual moments and Delilah's trials and tribulations are vividly told. There are some fascinating decisions and a sense of inevitability that draws the reader in."
Download or read book Jakob Kolding written by Jakob Kolding and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danish artist and urban activist Jakob Kolding makes collages that ask: "Who built your neighborhood? For whom was it built? Who uses the space?" This is a visual and verbal dialogue on the dense urban landscapes familiar throughout the globe. Through essays, poignant collages of appropriated comic book images and black-and-white photos with text, Kolding makes it clear that urban planning has failed miserably, creating concrete corridors that are veritable holding tanks for the masses. But he also finds the spark of human spirit rising through youth street culture, pop music, and skateboarding. A definite reality check on architecture and urban planning! Essays by Stephen Graham, Simon Marvis, Iain Borden and Doreen Massey.

Book excerpt: "Chicago mortgage broker Rebecca Robbins returns home to Indian Falls, Illinois, just long enough, she hopes, to sell her family's old roller-skating rink. But a dead body on the bathroom floor makes a speedy sale look unlikely. The victim is Mack the handyman, found facedown among some prescription pills. But what seems like an accident, or sadly, suicide, turns out to be murder. Determined to get this mystery solved, Rebecca uncovers some quirky small-town secrets and oddball characters. And her grandfather, a geriatric lothario up to his false teeth in dangerous liaisons, isn't making things any easier. While the deliciously hunky veterinarian and his charming pet camel add to the crazy atmosphere, menacing notes and another corpse make it clear that danger is closing in. Rebecca just prays her legs move fast enough to out-skate a killer." -- p. [4] of cover.
