Book Synopsis The Wearing of the Green by : Mike Cronin
Download or read book The Wearing of the Green written by Mike Cronin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-11-23 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The full history of St. Patrick's day is captured here for the first time in The Wearing of the Green. Illustrated with photos, the book spans the medieval origins, steeped in folklore and myth, through its turbulent and troubled times when it acted as fuel for fierce political argument, and tells the fascinating story of how the celebration of 17th March was transformed from a stuffy dinner for Ireland's elite to one of the world's most public festivals. Looking at more general Irish traditions and Irish communities throughout the world, Mike Cronin and Daryl Adair follow the history of this widely celebrated event, examining how the day has been exploited both politically and commercially, and they explore the shared heritage of the Irish through the development of this unique patriotic holiday. Highly informative for students of history, cultural studies and sociology, and an absolute delight for anyone interested in the fascinating and unique culture of Ireland.
Book Synopsis Wearing the Green Beret by : Jake Olafsen
Download or read book Wearing the Green Beret written by Jake Olafsen and published by McClelland & Stewart Limited. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the authenticity of Jarhead and Bravo Two Zero and the straight-up narrative of Contact Charlie, this military memoir describes what really goes on in the training of an elite soldier and his tours in Afghanistan. In 2004, Jake Olafsen signed up for the Royal Marines Commandos. He left everything behind at home in Canada on the basis of a spur-of-the-moment decision. The Royal Marines have the toughest and longest basic training of any infantry unit in the world. For Olafson, this meant eight months of wet and cold in England and Wales. It was hell, but he came out with the four Commando qualities that the corps look for: courage, determination, unselfishness, cheerfulness in the face of adversity. Olafsen went on to serve for four years as a Commando in the Royal Marines, an elite military unit based in the United Kingdom. He went to Afghanistan twice: in 2006, he went to confront the Taliban in Helmand Province for six months, and in 2007, he was sent to do it all over again. His story is filled with good experiences, like the sense of accomplishment, patriotism, and camaraderie, and the opportunity to travel the world. But all good things come at a price. The sacrifices he made for the Corps are significant; he has killed the enemy and he has buried his friends. And in telling his story, Olafsen hopes that he can make sense of it all. This is an honest, gutsy story about the mud and the blood, the triumphs and the tragedies. From the Hardcover edition.

Download or read book Buffalo Steel written by Lizz Schumer and published by . This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After growing up under the twin specters of the shuttered Bethlehem Steel plant and the cross-topped spires that shadow the dreams of its residents, Buffalo Steel finds its narrator setting off to seek her own spirit, away from the forces that forged her. Firmly grounded in the historical and cultural context of the Queen City, this lyrical journey explores how a child raised in a conservative, religious culture can free herself from the bonds that made her, without losing her place in that world. Through a series of stories connected by threads of historical anecdotes and biblical touchstones, the narrator explores her own changing views on what it means to be part of a society, whether by birth, assimilation or a combination of the two. After a spiritual awakening leaves her skeptical of the world in which she was raised, she seeks solace in a Catholic college that offers faint echoes of the home that cradled her childhood. There, she learns to worship at new altars, as the university culture infiltrates her quest for meaning. That quest sees her travel to Oxford, Dublin, Italy, Washington D.C. and back again, finding displacement and disillusionment everywhere she lands. Along the way, she discovers that her identity has been waiting all along: not in a foreign apartment or a Buffalo bedroom, but in their incorporation into one holistic concept of personhood, within a world she has learned to create from the filings of who she was always been destined to become.
