Book Synopsis Occupied America by : Donald F. Johnson
Download or read book Occupied America written by Donald F. Johnson and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupied America chronicles the everyday experience of ordinary people living under military occupation during the American Revolution. In Occupied America, Donald F. Johnson chronicles the everyday experience of ordinary people living under military occupation during the American Revolution. Focusing on day-to-day life in port cities held by the British Army, Johnson recounts how men and women from a variety of backgrounds navigated harsh conditions, mitigated threats to their families and livelihoods, took advantage of new opportunities, and balanced precariously between revolutionary and royal attempts to secure their allegiance. Between 1775 and 1783, every large port city along the Eastern seaboard fell under British rule at one time or another. As centers of population and commerce, these cities—Boston, New York, Newport, Philadelphia, Savannah, Charleston—should have been bastions from which the empire could restore order and inspire loyalty. Military rule's exceptional social atmosphere initially did provide opportunities for many people—especially women and the enslaved, but also free men both rich and poor—to reinvent their lives, and while these opportunities came with risks, the hope of social betterment inspired thousands to embrace military rule. Nevertheless, as Johnson demonstrates, occupation failed to bring about a restoration of imperial authority, as harsh material circumstances forced even the most loyal subjects to turn to illicit means to feed and shelter themselves, while many maintained ties to rebel camps for the same reasons. As occupations dragged on, most residents no longer viewed restored royal rule as a viable option. As Johnson argues, the experiences of these citizens reveal that the process of political change during the Revolution occurred not in a single instant but gradually, over the course of years of hardship under military rule that forced Americans to grapple with their allegiance in intensely personal and highly contingent ways. Thus, according to Johnson, the quotidian experience of military occupation directly affected the outcome of the American Revolution.
Download or read book Istanbul written by Richard Tillinghast and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its varied and glorious history, Istanbul remains one of the world’s perennially fascinating cities. Richard Tillinghast, who first visited Istanbul in the early 1960s and has watched it transform over the decades into a vibrant metropolis, explores its rich art and architecture, culture, cuisine, and much more in this book. Istanbul was known in Byzantine times as the “Queen of Cities” and to the Ottoman Turks as the “Abode of Felicity.” Steeped in Istanbul’s history, Tillinghast takes his readers on a voyage of discovery through this storied cultural hub, and he is as comfortable talking about Byzantine mosaics and dervish ceremonies as Iznik ceramics and the imperial mosques. His lyrical writing brings Istanbul alive on the page as he accompanies readers to cafés, palaces, and taverns, perfectly conjuring the atmospheric delights, sounds, and senses of the city. Illuminating Istanbul’s great buildings with tales that bring Ottoman and Byzantine history to life, Tillinghast is adept at discovering both what the city remembers and what it chooses to forget.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Market mistakes to avoid: “Written for investors at all levels…[a] practical, no-nonsense guide.”—Publishers Weekly One of Money Week’s Five Best Books of the Year Investors are tempted daily by misleading or incomplete information. They may make a lucky bet, realize a sizable profit, and find themselves full of confidence. Their next high-stakes gamble might backfire, not only hitting them in the balance sheet but also taking a mental and emotional toll. Even veteran investors can be caught off guard: a news item may suddenly cause havoc for an industry they’ve invested in; crowd mentality among fellow investors may skew the market; a CEO may turn out to be unprepared to effectively guide a company. How can one stay focused in such a volatile world? If you can’t trust your past successes to plan and predict, how can you avoid risky situations in the future? Patience and methodical planning will pay far greater dividends than flashy investments. In Big Money Thinks Small, veteran fund manager Joel Tillinghast shows investors how to avoid making these mistakes. He offers a set of simple but crucial steps to successful investing, including: · Know yourself, how you arrive at decisions, and how you might be susceptible to self-deception · Make decisions based on your own expertise, and do not invest in what you don’t understand · Select only trustworthy and capable colleagues and collaborators · Learn how to identify and avoid investments with inherent flaws · Always search for bargains, and never forget that the first responsibility of an investor is to identify mispriced stocks

Book excerpt: When the European sport of golf found its way to Long Island and took root in the Hamptons at Shinnecock Hills in 1891, its journey across the Atlantic served as the opening drive of a recreational era that now spans three centuries. Home to more than 130 golf courses, the area boasts prestigious American clubs overlooking picturesque Atlantic bays and inlets, along with public layouts climbing and descending the region's sloping terrain. Long Island is home to the most popular municipal golf facility in the country, the centerpiece of which is Bethpage Black, "the People's Country Club." Celebrated architects like A.W. Tillinghast, Devereux Emmet, Seth Raynor, and C.B. Macdonald built many of Long Island's famous courses, which have challenged the brightest of golf's stars. International tournaments and star-studded exhibitions have all been decided on Long Island turf, helping it grow into one of the world's most prominent golf settings.

Download or read book A.W. Tillinghast written by Philip Young and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who love the game of golf are continually fascinated by the courses that have been designed by the great architects of what has come to be known as the Golden Age of Course Design. They are especially intrigued by the man who might be the greatest of them all, Albert Warren Tillinghast.Tilly the Terror, whose courses the last of which were designed almost seventy years ago, even in our day are considered among the finest and sternest tests and are the sites of numerous national and major championships, are unique works of art created by a master's genius. Yet he was far more than a man who designed golf courses.Tillinghast the man has been largely an unknown and misunderstood genius over the years. So many golfers have stood on a tee and looked out at the hole unfolding before their eyes and been in awe of what they see, a work of art that demands and challenges them in ways no other course has before, for they are playing a Tillinghast golf course. Frustrating and fun, its inherent beauty and difficulty mix together to create an experience that brings them back to play it over and over, regardless of score. His courses are what golf is all about.Imagine what it would be like to be able to get inside his mind, to be able to know what he was thinking and seeing and to understand why his thoughts and philosophies of design were so different and greater than his contemporaries, and remain so till this day.In this story of the man, Philip Young has accomplished what no other writer has done or even attempted until now, the first true biography of a golf course architect. The numerous photographs and drawings of his golf courses and individual holes serve as mere backdrops to the story of his life. From Pardon Tillinghast arriving in Providence in 1645 on down to the death of Tilly's beloved wife Lillian in 1952, some ten years after his own passing, we see the boy grow into the man despite the battles against depression, alcohol and his many early life failures that he waged in public and the privacy of his own thoughts.A complicated man who battled numerous inner demons, it was his father and his trips to St. Andrews in the 1890's where he developed a unique relationship with Old Tom Morris that led to his designing golf courses and finding his purpose in life.He became a man who everyone wanted to be around and know. From Thomas Edison to Rosalind Russell, politicians, sport figures and the most common of men, he treated all alike and enjoyed their company. For these and many other reasons, this book will be enjoyed by all who love a good story whether they can swing a golf club or not.He was a man unafraid of any challenge, from building a golf course on the side of a mountain that everyone else said couldn't be done to touring America and consulting for any PGA Professional who wanted his services in the twilight of his life, he was unstoppable until that morning in 1942 when his heart finally gave out.His life provides lessons for many and this story a delightful read for all. I hope you enjoy it!Philip Young, August 2005.
