Book Synopsis A Shoemaker's Story by : Anthony W. Lee
Download or read book A Shoemaker's Story written by Anthony W. Lee and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a June morning in 1870, seventy-five Chinese immigrants stepped off a train in the New England factory town of North Adams, Massachusetts, imported as strikebreakers by the local shoe manufacturer. They threaded their way through a hostile mob and then--remarkably--their new employer lined them up along the south wall of his factory and had them photographed as the mob fell silent. So begins A Shoemaker's Story. Anthony Lee seeks to understand the social forces that brought this now-famous photograph into being, and the events and images it subsequently spawned. He traces the rise of photography as a profession and the hopes and experiences of immigrants trying to find their place in the years following the Civil War. He describes the industrialization of the once-traditional craft of shoemaking, and the often violent debates about race, labor, class, and citizenship that industrialization caused. Generously illustrated with many extraordinary photographs, A Shoemaker's Story brings 1870s America to vivid life. Lee's spellbinding narrative interweaves the perspectives of people from very different walks of life--the wealthy factory owner who dared to bring the strikebreakers to New England, the Chinese workers, the local shoemakers' union that did not want them there, the photographers themselves, and the ordinary men and women who viewed and interpreted their images. Combining painstaking research with world-class storytelling, Lee illuminates an important episode in the social history of the United States, and reveals the extent to which photographs can be sites of intense historical struggle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Trigger warning: Harsh Language, Abuse, Slavery, Excessive Violence, Injustice) The Celestial is a symbol of the divine, a pillar stretching high into the heavens. It is worshipped for the blessings it brought upon the world; extraordinary power, revolutionary tools, and beings beyond understanding. Bearing its power will not only change your fate, but the fate of the world. Grelt has existed within a struggle for power for over a century. A war between Angels and Demons ravaged the land, but only ended with the formation of the hybrid alliance between the angels, non-unified, and Hirians. The non-unified race did not receive the divine gifts of the Celestial, they were not worthy. As beings who were deemed unworthy by the great Celestial, they have no choice but to bow before the hybrids alliance. Jack Eldritch It has been a week since the execution of Jacks parents, and he has taken their place as a miner in the small non-unified town of Logos. He is beginning to feel the despair living the rest of his life under the hybrid alliance, and seeks to change the world he was born into.

Book excerpt: A defeated general. A jaded princess. A really awkward situation. Orion and Cassiopeia are the last of their kind: an ancient, powerful race of space-dwelling beings known as Celestials. After losing a terrible war against another, deadlier race, Orion appeals to Cassiopeia, hoping she'll help him save their species. After all, he's a male, she's a female... This shouldn't be complicated, right? Wrong! Cassiopeia, who has been living like a recluse for centuries, wants absolutely nothing to do with Orion. And not just because he has no manners; there are things she doesn't want him to know, secrets that drove her to self-exile. So she does the only logical thing she can think of: She runs away to Earth, where she allies herself with a group of young musicians and adopts their easygoing way of life in order to blend in. It's the perfect hiding place, right? Wrong! Little does Cassiopeia know, Orion is way better at tracking than he is at romance... though he may have to become good at both if he wants a second chance.

Download or read book The Bad Boy's Wife written by Karen Shepard and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when you marry the bad boy-the reckless, irresistible cowboy who steals your heart and whom you should have dumped after the affair? Cole Thompson, a gorgeous ne'er-do-well horse trainer, shocks everyone when he proposes to Hannah Baker, the daughter of a wealthy Southern family. When after a twenty-year marriage filled with infidelity and other secrets, Cole leaves her, it comes as a shock to no one but Hannah. Now, though, there are no longer just two of them to suffer the consequences: caught in the middle is Mattie, the child who was supposed to settle them down and make them better people. This is the story of a relationship and marriage told in reverse, from its fateful end to its magical beginnings. Can a husband, a wife and their ten-year-old pick up the pieces of their broken past and dare to expect something from the future? In the tradition of books like The Horse Whisperer and Cowboys Are my Weakness, Karen Shepard deals with issues of broken trust, and the damage we cause to the ones we love most.
Book Synopsis The Chronicles of Gabriel by : Robert A. Melos
Download or read book The Chronicles of Gabriel written by Robert A. Melos and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is not what mortals think, and neither are angels and demons. Celestials have been around since the dawn of time, occasionally being seen for what they really are and then being immortalized in pictures and in print, such as in the Bible. However, as Gabriel and Michael would both be quick to point out, those are mortal man's versions of them. Angels and demons are not good and evil, but simply two sides with differing political views, both vying for control over the balance of power, and mortal man just happens to be in the line of fire. Add to this mix a third part, Pure Souls, mortals who are somehow untainted by the standard negative energy that touches most mortals. The Pure Souls are the key to a prophecy that changes the rules. Lucifer Morningstar and his faction are in pursuit of a Pure Soul, Billy Strong, who is unaware of his key role in the grand scheme of things. Alas, Billy is an attractive young man, and Archangel Gabriel is smitten with the young man. As the saying goes, you can't help with whom you fall in love. What ensues is a action packed romp through the world of the celestial beings, and a lot of soul searching for the Archangel and the object of his affection. The gay erotic tale of celestial love and politics takes on global proportions, and traverses several levels of Heaven and Hell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is often considered one of man’s greatest enemies. Over two years have passed since the Red Rover’s daring escape from the Galicia star system. Their youthful exuberance to traverse the great unknown has justifiably began to wane, forcing them to part ways with idealism, replacing it instead with pragmatism. When the ship makes an emergency landing on a foreign world named Araneus, questions begin to simmer to the surface regarding Marius’ leadership or lack thereof. They no longer are his neophytes and have zero interest in being treated like his subordinates. The line between life and death has ended their adolescence forever. With the work to resume their space journey yet to be completed, the group splinters, leaving Marius, Jovan, Callista and the androids behind, so the others could do what they were trained to do. Explore! Soon after, the five cadets find themselves face to face with an alien species that is unexpectedly overjoyed by their arrival. A celebration commences as they are heralded as “celestials” to this civilization. Their good fortune is short-lived, however, as the amoral behavior of their hosts slowly reveals itself. A threat beneath the surface looms large as the harvest season fast approaches, putting everyone at risk. For it is a sacrifice of the few, that can influence the lives of the many.
Book Synopsis The Monsters Know What They're Doing by : Keith Ammann
Download or read book The Monsters Know What They're Doing written by Keith Ammann and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular blog The Monsters Know What They’re Doing comes a compilation of villainous battle plans for Dungeon Masters. In the course of a Dungeons & Dragons game, a Dungeon Master has to make one decision after another in response to player behavior—and the better the players, the more unpredictable their behavior! It’s easy for even an experienced DM to get bogged down in on-the-spot decision-making or to let combat devolve into a boring slugfest, with enemies running directly at the player characters and biting, bashing, and slashing away. In The Monsters Know What They’re Doing, Keith Ammann lightens the DM’s burden by helping you understand your monsters’ abilities and develop battle plans before your fifth edition D&D game session begins. Just as soldiers don’t whip out their field manuals for the first time when they’re already under fire, a DM shouldn’t wait until the PCs have just encountered a dozen bullywugs to figure out how they advance, fight, and retreat. Easy to read and apply, The Monsters Know What They're Doing is essential reading for every DM.

Book excerpt: Murder and magic... a battle to reclaim the throne... Being a water bearer for my community was easy: just my trusty mule, Lily, and me against the world. But when a bard arrived in town weaving tales about the True Queens of Nephalia, everything changed.Those stories were supposed to be myths-tales told to children around a campfire. Yet, this man sung truths that had been buried long ago of the Dawnings that brought the queens to power and the magical patterns on their skin marking them as qualified for such a status.Marks... described exactly like the one that appeared on my arm the very same day.According to the legend, these women were hunted and killed by others-imposters-who claimed to have earned the throne.The warning was loud and clear. But instead of living in fear, I intend to compose a story of my own: with the help of three amazing men, I must save myself and the other marked women from such a fate.If we succeed, Nephalia will prosper.If we fail, the rekindled magic of myth will remain as such: nothing more than a tale told around a dying campfire.

Download or read book The Monodoxy written by Cometan and published by Astronist Institution. This book was released on 2019-03-02 with total page 1191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Monodoxy is a 275,000 word-long philosophical disquisition categorised as the first of twelve disquisitions that, when considered collectively, form The Omnidoxy, the founding treatise of the philosophy of Astronism established by Cometan. The disquisition comprises of hundreds of discourses which are themselves titled by rubrals and written according to a style and structure known as insentence. The Monodoxy's authorship solely rests with Cometan, the first Millettic philosopher and the founder of Astronism whom began writing The Monodoxy at the age of just seventeen through what he termed as personal inspiration. The Monodoxy has been said to formulate the thematic identity of the philosophy of Astronism due to its prominent focus on the elements, progeny, and phenomena of The Cosmos in a distinct way to all the other eleven disquisitions forming The Omnidoxy. Hundreds of new schools of thought, disciplines of study, and philosophical belief orientations hold their roots in The Monodoxy in addition to thousands of new terms, concepts, and theories which hold a distinguished originality and Cometanic style combined with an Astronic identity. There are a total of fifty-three discourses which constitute The Monodoxy, each of which holds its own special title known as a rubral which are used to provide overviews of the discourses to which they are associated.
