Download or read book Tink Wilson written by J. J. Parker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-08-16 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does a young man do when he learns his hometown girlfriend is carrying his child? In 1963 America, he typically married her. But Tink Wilson is a minor-league baseball player living in California when he learns his Illinois girlfriend is pregnant. Plus, hes fallen in love with a glamorous young Southern California actress while trying to achieve his lifelong goal of reaching the big leagues. "Tink Wilson" is a bawdy, Huck Finnish portrayal of the lives of the fictional 1963 San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League. Presented in flashbacks, the novel reveals Tink to be an unsophisticated 21-year-old who offers no-holds-barred insight into the story's other characters, who range from the wild, the hip and the skirt-chasing to homebodies who prefer watching TV or fishing to raising hell. "Tink Wilson" is a whimsical tale of young people chasing dreams in America in the time of President Kennedy, the civil rights struggle, and the Mercury space program. J.J. Parker is a former news reporter who's written 40 short stories and several humorous yet touching plays, including those about 1960s icons Sonny Liston and Robert Kennedy. "Tink Wilson" is his debut novel.

Book Synopsis Hendricks Chapel by : Richard L. Phillips
Download or read book Hendricks Chapel written by Richard L. Phillips and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hendricks Chapel is one of Syracuse University's most recognizable landmarks and a beloved campus institution, standing both literally and figuratively at the heart of its campus. The chapel has been the site of some of the university's most significant events, from antiwar protests in the sixties to the vigil of nearly 3,000 people held on September 11, 2001. Its efforts to foster intellectual, cultural, and spiritual growth within the campus community have drawn distinguished speakers from all fields: the painter Grant Wood; poets Carl Sandberg and Robert Frost; novelists Paul Gallico and Ayn Rand; the arctic explorer Viljhalmur Stefansson; politicians such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Hillary Clinton; and religious figures and social activists such as Paul Tillich, the Dalai Lama, Elie Wiesel, and James Baldwin; as well as scientists, economists, and other scholars. This book, with contributions from other deans and staff, traces the history and evolution of the chapel, from its construction in 1930 when it was dedicated to promoting the "moral and spiritual welfare of the generations of young men and women at Syracuse University," to its many current functions as an inclusive spiritual and social resource for the university and the community at large.
Book Synopsis Blues Song for a Fighter by : J. J. Parker
Download or read book Blues Song for a Fighter written by J. J. Parker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-06-30 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sonny Liston"" -- these words pictured menace and boxing ring beatings in Americans' minds in the 1960s. Was the ""Big Ugly Bear,"" as a youthful Muhammad Ali called him, as mean and antisocial as he seemed? Or was he a man -- hampered by illiteracy -- misunderstood? ""Blues Song for a Fighter"" reveals the real Sonny Liston: witty, hopeful, vengeful, loving children and his wife, determined, humorous, yet -- when drunk -- lascivious, crude, and violent. J.J. Parker, author of the acclaimed ""Tink Wilson,"" has penned a stage play version of Liston's tempestuous, ill-fated existence ... a vital sunbeam whose starting and ending points no one ever knew. Though a former thug paroled from prison ( he did time for armed robbery), Sonny never was paroled from his fate: to uneasily ride a personal Night Train to (and from) nowhere, to be divorced from, yet part of, the human race. This book offers a three-act play depicting the drama of Sonny Liston's life, the ""blues song for a fighter"" that he correctly predicted some day would be written, read, and understood. Settle into your ringside seat ... the bell for Round One is about to clang....
Download or read book Huda F Cares written by Huda Fahmy and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Book Award for Young People's Literature Finalist In this laugh-out-loud funny sequel to the graphic novel Huda F Are You?, the Fahmys are off to Disney World, but self-conscious Huda worries her family will stand out too much. Huda and her sisters can’t believe it when her parents announce that they’re actually taking a vacation this summer . . . to DISNEY WORLD! But it’s not quite as perfect as it seems. First Huda has to survive a 24-hour road trip from Michigan to Florida, with her sisters annoying her all the way. And then she can’t help but notice the people staring at her and her family when they pray in public. Back home in Deerborn she and her family blend right in because there are so many other Muslim families, but not so much in Florida and along the way. It's a vacation of forced (but unexpectly successful?) sisterly bonding, a complicated new friendship, a bit more independence, and some mixed feelings about her family's public prayers. Huda is proud of her religion and who she is, but she still sure wishes she didn’t care so much what other people thought.

Book Synopsis Clarkston by : Cara Catallo for the Clarkston Community Historical Society
Download or read book Clarkston written by Cara Catallo for the Clarkston Community Historical Society and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The noteworthy architecture throughout Clarkston remains a tribute to a time when brothers Jeremiah and Nelson Clark were among the early settlers. In 1838, the enterprising Clarks bought Butler Holcomb's sawmill, quickly building a larger dam and adding a gristmill. In 1842, the Clarks platted the village that would bear their name. The next decade brought trains to the new Clarkston depot, enabling easier commerce and a stronger stream of vacationers visiting the inns and cottages that dotted the banks of Deer Lake, Parke Lake, and the Mill Pond. In the 20th century, the same waterpower enticed Henry Ford to construct a hydroelectric factory on the Clarkston Mills property and renovate the former Clarkston School building on Main Street into a small manufacturing plant. The Ford Motor Company also transformed a farm on the outskirts of town into a renowned tractor-training facility. Today, Clarkston's national historic district remains a testament to its mill-town heritage.

Download or read book Kinning written by Nisi Shawl and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kinning, the sequel to Nisi Shawl’s acclaimed debut novel Everfair, continues the stunning alternate history where barkcloth airships soar through the sky, varied peoples build a new society together, and colonies claim their freedom from imperialist tyrants. The Great War is over. Everfair has found peace within its borders. But our heroes’ stories are far from done. Tink and his sister Bee-Lung are traveling the world via aircanoe, spreading the spores of a mysterious empathy-generating fungus. Through these spores, they seek to build bonds between people and help spread revolutionary sentiments of socialism and equality—the very ideals that led to Everfair’s founding. Meanwhile, Everfair’s Princess Mwadi and Prince Ilunga return home from a sojourn in Egypt to vie for their country’s rule following the abdication of their father King Mwenda. But their mother, Queen Josina, manipulates them both from behind the scenes, while also pitting Europe’s influenza-weakened political powers against one another as these countries fight to regain control of their rebellious colonies. Will Everfair continue to serve as a symbol of hope, freedom, and equality to anticolonial movements around the world, or will it fall to forces inside and out? At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
