Book excerpt: A celebration culture and technology, as seen through the history of the humble yet ubiquitous toothpick, from the best-selling author of The Pencil. From ancient Rome, where emperor Nero made his entrance into a banquet hall with a silver toothpick in his mouth, to nineteenth-century Boston, where Charles Forster, the father of the American wooden toothpick industry, ensured toothpicks appeared in every restaurant, the toothpick has been an omnipresent, yet often overlooked part of our daily lives. Here, with an engineer's eye for detail and a poet's flair for language, Henry Petroski takes us on an incredible tour of this most interesting invention. Along the way, he peers inside today's surprisingly secretive toothpick-manufacturing industry, and explores a treasure trove of the toothpick's unintended uses and perils, from sandwiches to martinis and beyond.

Download or read book Toothpick Legs written by Ashley Warren and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ashley Vaughn is a typical 12-year-old girl growing up in Texas in the 1990s. Her school days start by riding in the backward-facing hatchback seat of her neighbors station wagon, since the older kids got to pick seats first during the carpool. Ashleys parents are loving and eccentric, and her sister spends most of her time on the phone with her boyfriend. Ashley does her best to navigate the shenanigans of home-and-school life surrounded by family and friends. One of her more mortifying moments was when her mom recorded an educational TV program for the sixth graders to watch during class, but the VHS tape instead played a rendition of Ashley and her friends performing their own dance moves to a Spice Girls song. Anyone who has ever reminisced about days gone by when your immediate family and best friends were in the same place to share the collective moments of adolescence can relate to these whimsical, nostalgic stories. Grab your Rollerblades, slap bracelets and Hypercolor shirts and relive awkward school dances and sugar-infused slumber parties. Welcome back to 1995.

Download or read book Sex on the Moon written by Ben Mezrich and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires and Bringing Down the House, this is the incredible true story of how a college student and two female accomplices stole some of the rarest objects on the planet—moon rocks—from an "impregnable" high-tech vault. But breaking into a highly secure laboratory wasn't easy. Thad Roberts, an intern in a prestigious NASA training program, would have to concoct a meticulous plan to get past security checkpoints, an electronically locked door with cipher security codes, and camera-lined hallways even before he could get his hands on the 600-pound safe. And then how was he supposed to get it out? And what does one do with an item so valuable that it's illegal even to own? With his signature high-velocity style, Mezrich reconstructs the outlandish heist and tells a story of genius, love, and duplicity that reads like a Hollywood thrill ride.
