Book excerpt: By the Year 2000: MARRIAGE What have you resolved to do by the year 2000? Ten years ago—in their wild college days—Meg Danley and her two best friends made a vow that they'd all be married and settled by the time the millenium rolled around. Meg is settled. She has everything she needs—a great apartment, an exciting career. Or so she thinks—until her friends arrive on her doorstep determined to fulfill the vow. A serious manhunt is what they're proposing. Then they spot Jack Elliot—the attractive single man who's come to visit his mother—and declare him perfect for Meg. Even the fact that Jack plans to return to his life in Maine doesn't discourage them. And suddenly Meg's no longer arguing. Suddenly a wedding by 2000—with Jack as the bridegroom—is a definite possibility.

Book excerpt: Born in 1934, Tony Book spent his childhood in India playing barefoot soccer in the streets with the local kids. From there he returned as a young man to Bath, where he played for a local miner's side before following his father into the Army. After a short period in service, Book became a bricklayer and played for various local sides before joining his home-town team of Bath City. It was there that he first met manager Malcolm Allison—a figure who was to play an influential part in Book's later career. In 1964, Book was transferred to league club Plymouth Argyle, where he played for two years before former boss Allison, by then co-manager at Manchester City, convinced his partner Joe Mercer to take a chance on the full-back. The risk paid off as Book went on to captain the team throughout their most successful period, during which they won every domestic trophy, as well as the European Cup-Winners' Cup.

Book Synopsis The Maine Woods by : Henry David Thoreau
Download or read book The Maine Woods written by Henry David Thoreau and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 31st of August, 1846, I left Concord in Massachusetts for Bangor and the backwoods of Maine--thus begins The Maine Woods, the evocative story of Thoreau's journeys through a familiar yet untouched land. As he explores Mt. Katahdin (an Indian word meaning highest land), Lake Chesuncook, the Allagash River, and the East Branch of the Penobscot, Thoreau muses on his own vulnerability and the humility engendered by his solitude in the wilderness. Throughout Thoreau invokes the forest of Maine--the mountains, waterways, fauna, flora, and the people--in his singular style. Echoing Walden, Thoreau's passionate outcry against the degradation of the environment in The Maine Woods will resonate strongly today. This fully annotated gift edition of The Maine Woods makes a wonderful companion volume to Walden: A Fully Annotated Edition and I to Myself: An Annotated Selection from the Journal of Henry D. Thoreau.
Book Synopsis The Grand Old Man of Maine by : Jeremiah E. Goulka
Download or read book The Grand Old Man of Maine written by Jeremiah E. Goulka and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2005-10-12 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known as the hero of Little Round Top at Gettysburg and the commanding officer of the troops who accepted the Confederates' surrender at Appomattox, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (1828-1914) has become one of the most famous and most studied figures of Civil War history. After the war, he went on to serve as governor of Maine and president of Bowdoin College. The first collection of his postwar letters, this book offers important insights for understanding Chamberlain's later years and his place in chronicling the war. The letters included here reveal Chamberlain's perspective on military events at Gettysburg, Five Forks, and Appomattox, and on the planning of ceremonies to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Gettysburg. As Jeremiah Goulka points out in his introduction, the letters also shed light on Chamberlain's views on politics, race relations, and education, and they expose some of the personal difficulties he faced late in life. On a broader scale, Chamberlain's correspondence contributes to a better understanding of the influence of Civil War veterans on American life and the impact of the war on veterans themselves. It also says much about state and national politics (including the politics of pensions), family roles and relationships, and ideas of masculinity in Victorian America.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years, making this dream a reality—not out of anger at the world, but simply because he preferred to live on his own. “A meditation on solitude, wildness and survival.” —The Wall Street Journal In 1986, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the forest. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later, when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even through brutal winters, he had survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store edibles and water, and to avoid freezing to death. He broke into nearby cottages for food, clothing, reading material, and other provisions, taking only what he needed but terrifying a community never able to solve the mysterious burglaries. Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself, this is a vividly detailed account of his secluded life—why did he leave? what did he learn?—as well as the challenges he has faced since returning to the world. It is a gripping story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude, community, and what makes a good life, and a deeply moving portrait of a man who was determined to live his own way, and succeeded.

Book Synopsis Mythical Creatures of Maine by : Christopher Packard
Download or read book Mythical Creatures of Maine written by Christopher Packard and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maine folklore is rich in tales of humans confronted by strange beasts, both wonderful and terrifying. The Abenaki, or “First People” had their tales of Glooskap and Pamola. Other tales came with European settlers; and others sprang up almost out of nothing around the fires of the logging camps. Based on meticulous research into these legends and folk tales, this volume is an encyclopedia, a field guide to the creatures that can be found in Maine and beyond. While the tales are whimsical and fun, they can also be considered serious scholarship.

Book excerpt: "Tony Book s footballing career is something of a modern-day fairy tale, and Maine Man is the definitive account of his intriguing journey. Born the son of an Army officer in 1934, he spent his childhood in India playing barefoot football in the streets with the local kids. From there he returned as a young man to Bath, where he played for a local miners side before following his father into the Army. After a short period in service, Book became a bricklayer and played for various local sides before joining Bath City.

Download or read book Vacationland written by John Hodgman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I love everything about this hilarious book except the font size.” —Jon Stewart Although his career as a bestselling author and on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart was founded on fake news and invented facts, in 2016 that routine didn’t seem as funny to John Hodgman anymore. Everyone is doing it now. Disarmed of falsehood, he was left only with the awful truth: John Hodgman is an older white male monster with bad facial hair, wandering like a privileged Sasquatch through three wildernesses: the hills of Western Massachusetts where he spent much of his youth; the painful beaches of Maine that want to kill him (and some day will); and the metaphoric haunted forest of middle age that connects them. Vacationland collects these real life wanderings, and through them you learn of the horror of freshwater clams, the evolutionary purpose of the mustache, and which animals to keep as pets and which to kill with traps and poison. There is also some advice on how to react when the people of coastal Maine try to sacrifice you to their strange god. Though wildly, Hodgmaniacally funny as usual, it is also a poignant and sincere account of one human facing his forties, those years when men in particular must stop pretending to be the children of bright potential they were and settle into the failing bodies of the wiser, weird dads that they are.
