Download or read book Taming of the Slough written by Jim Benson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an old adage that says, "Truth is stranger than fiction." This is the way it was told in the fascinating stories about the famous Sammamish Slough Race. Your Author covers a boat racing era from the 1920s to the 1970s. His personal knowledge, being born into a racing family, has given him insight that few people still living have. In the Pacific Northwest, the area where the Slough Race took place, significant changes occurred that had a long-term effect on outboard racing of that period. He leads you through the years that made boat racing a competition as exciting as major-league sports are today. The contest started from various locations on Lake Washington, ran across the lake and proceeded into a narrow-crooked river that wound through several small towns. It took a brief stop at one of the resorts on the upper connecting lake-Lake Sammamish. The competitors restarted their race boats after stopping and headed back downstream to the starting point, finishing their long grueling marathon. You will learn about some of the local history along the path of the racecourse, which is fascinating in itself. Many alterations were made to the terrain-history was rewritten as a result. The River took some vicious twists and turns, which was the exciting attraction for thousands of spectators. It nearly killed some of the drivers. You are treated to hundreds of wonderful photographs while reading about some of the wild events that happened along the way of this "Crookedest Race in the World."

Book Synopsis My Pilgrim's Progress by : George W.S. Trow
Download or read book My Pilgrim's Progress written by George W.S. Trow and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-10-20 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In My Pilgrim's Progress, George W. S. Trow gives us a brilliantly original and provocative look at what's happened to America in our time -- a guided tour of the media, the politics, and the personalities of the last half-century by one of our most persuasive social critics. This new book by the author of Within the Context of No Context might be subtitled "A son of Roosevelt reads newspapers, goes to the movies, watches television, and tells us how 1950 got to be 1998." Trow takes 1950 as the year the Old World gave way to the New: Winston Churchill had just been named The Man of the Half-Century by Time magazine; George Bernard Shaw was still alive, and so was William Randolph Hearst. But before the next half-decade was out, the world represented by these powerful old men had disappeared. To illustrate his points, Trow takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride through the New York Times of February 1950, from the thundering front pages where the terror of the H-bomb is making its first appearance to the early, sketchy, amateur television listings. He finds a piece of Television Personality Reportage in the paper -- a kind of proto-People magazine profile -- of the TV "hostess" and "guest" Faye Emerson, and notes: "As to World War II, the Germans lost, and Faye Emerson won." The son of a tabloid journalist from an old New York brownstone family, Trow was brought up in the Deepest Roosevelt Aesthetic -- half FDR and half Walter Winchell. But he soon succumbed to the spell of Dwight David Eisenhower and the extraordinary/ordinary qualities of Ike's era. It is the thrust of Trow's book that both the Roosevelt authority and the Ike decencies are completely gone -- and where are they now that we need them more than ever?
Book Synopsis Site Characterization in Karst and Pseudokarst Terraines by : Richard C. Benson
Download or read book Site Characterization in Karst and Pseudokarst Terraines written by Richard C. Benson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a practical strategy for obtaining a more complete and accurate geologic site characterization. The strategy and methods to characterize complex geologic settings are readily available. The strategy utilizes readily available technology, basic science and good, old-fashioned common sense resulting in a solid understanding of geologic and even karst or pseudokarst conditions. We provide an introduction to many off-the-shelf methods available for site characterization as well as examples of their application throughout the book. The purpose of a geologic site characterization is to understand the 3-dimensional geologic framework, along with the engineering and hydrologic properties of a site including any man-made impacts. A well-done site characterization is the cornerstone of all geotechnical, groundwater and environmental projects. The geologic conditions, particularly karst conditions, can significantly impact a site including its structural stability, groundwater pathways and potential for rapid transport or traps for contaminants. Once we have adequately characterized the geologic conditions can we carry our remediation, design and construction, model flow, and make risk assessments that are accurate and reliable.
Download or read book Tomboys written by Michelle Ann Abate and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with the figure of the bold, boisterous girl in the mid-19th century and ending with the “girl power” movement of the 1990’s, Tomboys is the first full-length critical study of this gender-bending code of female conduct. Michelle Abate uncovers the origins, charts the trajectory, and traces the literary and cultural transformations that the concept of “tomboy” has undergone in the United States. Abate focuses on literature including Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Carson McCullers's The Member of the Wedding and films such as Peter Bogdanovich's Paper Moon and Jon Avnet's Fried Green Tomatoes. She also draws onlesser-known texts like E.D.E.N. Southworth's once wildly popular 1859 novel The Hidden Hand, Cold War lesbian pulp fiction, and New Queer Cinema from the 1990s. Tomboys also explores the gender and sexual dynamics of tomboyism, and offers intriguing discussions of race and ethnicity's role in the construction of the enduring cultural archetype. Abate’s insightful analysis provides useful, thought-provoking connections between different literary works and eras. The result demystifies this cultural phenomenon and challenges readers to consider tomboys in a whole new light.
Book Synopsis Hydroplane Racing in Seattle by : David D. Williams
Download or read book Hydroplane Racing in Seattle written by David D. Williams and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydroplane racing burst onto the Seattle scene in 1950, and local sports fans embraced it with a passion that is hard to imagine. Throughout the early 1950s, thousands of fans flocked to Lake Washington to watch classic races between Seattle's Slo-mo-shun boats and a fleet of East Coast challengers. For over 40 years, hydroplane racing was synonymous with summertime in Seattle. During its golden age, when "hydro fever" was at its height, drivers like Bill Muncey, Ron Musson, and Mira Slovak were sports heroes on par with today's Ken Griffey Jr. or Ichiro. Seattle became the "hydro" capital of the nation.
