Book Synopsis Man in Motion by : Stanley C. Fedewa
Download or read book Man in Motion written by Stanley C. Fedewa and published by Michigan State University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, greedy business leaders are regularly paraded before the new media in handcuffs, and shady politicians are often doomed by the outrage of their colleagues and constituents. Therefore, the story of an adventuresome but ethical businessman-politician who racked up successes in both fields can be downright refreshing. The subject of a newly published biography--Michigan's former Senate Majority Leader, Emil Lockwood--was such a man. He forged several successful businesses, as well as a stellar political career, yet was known by colleagues and the news media as a man of honor and solid principles. Authors Stan and Marilyn Fedewa chronicle Emil Lockwood's decisive leadership, quick wit, and principled character from a small-town beginning in Ottawa, Illinois; through WWII kamikaze attacks in the South Pacific; and into the maelstrom of the Michigan Senate (1963-1970). As Majority Leader, Lockwood's mettle was put to the test during unprecedented crises of fiscal reform and post-Detroit-riot civil unrest.

Book Synopsis When Brooklyn Was Queer by : Hugh Ryan
Download or read book When Brooklyn Was Queer written by Hugh Ryan and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The never-before-told story of Brooklyn’s vibrant and forgotten queer history, from the mid-1850s up to the present day. ***An ALA GLBT Round Table Over the Rainbow 2019 Top Ten Selection*** ***NAMED ONE OF THE BEST LGBTQ BOOKS OF 2019 by Harper's Bazaar*** "A romantic, exquisite history of gay culture." —Kirkus Reviews, starred “[A] boisterous, motley new history...entertaining and insightful.” —The New York Times Book Review Hugh Ryan’s When Brooklyn Was Queer is a groundbreaking exploration of the LGBT history of Brooklyn, from the early days of Walt Whitman in the 1850s up through the queer women who worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during World War II, and beyond. No other book, movie, or exhibition has ever told this sweeping story. Not only has Brooklyn always lived in the shadow of queer Manhattan neighborhoods like Greenwich Village and Harlem, but there has also been a systematic erasure of its queer history—a great forgetting. Ryan is here to unearth that history for the first time. In intimate, evocative, moving prose he discusses in new light the fundamental questions of what history is, who tells it, and how we can only make sense of ourselves through its retelling; and shows how the formation of the Brooklyn we know today is inextricably linked to the stories of the incredible people who created its diverse neighborhoods and cultures. Through them, When Brooklyn Was Queer brings Brooklyn’s queer past to life, and claims its place as a modern classic.
Book Synopsis Dangerous Secrets by : Chrissie Loveday
Download or read book Dangerous Secrets written by Chrissie Loveday and published by Headline Accent. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julia Renton returns from a trip to Kenya to discover her mother is dead – evidently having committed suicide. Her brother Ryan is equally devastated and the pair rushes to their cottage in Cornwall to escape their cold and unforgiving father. Soon, a body is discovered in an outhouse and things start to go wrong, including the presumed murder of one half of an elderly pair of sisters, and the Renton’s cottage burning down. Trying to move on, Julia takes employment with Bryce Davies, a local holiday and property dealer. There seems to be something major in the pipeline and Bryce is involved, but his intentions with the Rentons are possibly less than innocent. When strange things start happening to Julia, she realises someone has made themselves involved in her life – and closer than she originally thought.

Download or read book The Great Swindle written by Pierre Lemaitre and published by MacLehose Press. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the prestigious Prix Goncourt, a timeless story of how war transforms lives in unexpected and often tragic ways as seen through the eyes of three World War I vets The year is 1918, the war on the Western Front all but over. An ambitious officer, Lieutenant Henry D'Aulnay-Pradelle, sends two soldiers over the top and then surreptitiously shoots them in the back to incite his men to attack the German lines. When another of D'Aulnay-Pradelle's soldiers, Albert Maillard, reaches the bodies and discovers how they died, the lieutenant shoves him into a shell hole to silence him. Albert is rescued by fellow soldier, the artist Edouard Péricourt, who takes a bullet in the face. The war ends and both men recover, but Edouard is permanently disfigured, and fakes his death to prevent his family from seeing him as a cripple. In gratitude for Edouard's rescue, Albert becomes the injured man's companion and caregiver. Finding that the postwar gratitude for the soldiers' service is nothing more than lip-service to an empty idea, the two men scramble to survive, ultimately devising a scam to take money for never-to-be-built war memorials from small towns. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Pradelle has married Edouard's sister Madeline and is running a scam of his own that involves the exhumation of war victims. In this sorrowful, heart-searching novel, the interwoven lives of these three men create a tapestry of the human condition as seen through the lens of war, revealing brutality and compassion, heroism and cowardice, in equal measure.
