Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saul will be taking you on an eighty-year verbal trip. You must fasten your reading seat belt because as you vicariously take this reading trip with him, some of the paths, lanes, dirt roads, highways, and expressways will be very bumpy; however, the scenes will be historically interesting. Billy, no Saul, no Mr. Bethay, no Airman Bethay, no Dean Bethay, no Big Ears, no the Dancer are a few of the names he is known by; what one calls him lets him know where he knows them from. When you finish reading Why I Have So Many Names, you may want to call him something else yourself too because he will take you back with him to the Cook County Training School, to Fort Valley State College, to Michigan State College, to Teachers College Columbia University, to Jersey City State College, and to the University of Hawaii. Airman Bethay will let you experience being in the Air Force for four years. The typist taught himself to type sixty-five words per minute on a manual typewriter. Mr. Saul will show you what it is like to teach high school boys and adults how to become better farmers. Dean Bethay will let you know what it is like to be an appreciated advisor in colleges and universities; counseling in junior high schools and colleges was Mr. Bethay's claim to fame. The professor ran workshops. The coordinator will share with you the personality it takes to work with different groups at the same time. The director was in charges of many programs for children and adults. The evaluator inspected summer camp programs for youth. The proofreader was in charge of editing books. "Honey" was noted for his great parties. The cook could hold his own in the kitchen. Watch out for the dancer when he is shooting pool. Doc spends most of his retirement time playing billiards and bid whist. The weekends are spent in the off and on Broadway theaters, concerts, and museums. The model at eighty-three-plus is still being asked to participate in fashion shows. Monday nights are reserved for Scrabble. Your generous purchasing donations will be used to help some needy students at Fort Valley State University, not the author. The author tries to live up to Fort Valley State (College) University's motto: If I have helped somebody as I traveled these eighty years, then my travel has not been in vain.

Book excerpt: From acclaimed author Dinaw Mengestu, a recipient of the National Book Foundation’s 5 Under 35 award, The New Yorker’s 20 Under 40 award, and a 2012 MacArthur Foundation genius grant, comes an unforgettable love story about a searing affair between an American woman and an African man in 1970s America and an unflinching novel about the fragmentation of lives that straddle countries and histories. All Our Names is the story of two young men who come of age during an African revolution, drawn from the safe confines of the university campus into the intensifying clamor of the streets outside. But as the line between idealism and violence becomes increasingly blurred, the friends are driven apart—one into the deepest peril, as the movement gathers inexorable force, and the other into the safety of exile in the American Midwest. There, pretending to be an exchange student, he falls in love with a social worker and settles into small-town life. Yet this idyll is inescapably darkened by the secrets of his past: the acts he committed and the work he left unfinished. Most of all, he is haunted by the beloved friend he left behind, the charismatic leader who first guided him to revolution and then sacrificed everything to ensure his freedom. Elegiac, blazing with insights about the physical and emotional geographies that circumscribe our lives, All Our Names is a marvel of vision and tonal command. Writing within the grand tradition of Naipul, Greene, and Achebe, Mengestu gives us a political novel that is also a transfixing portrait of love and grace, of self-determination and the names we are given and the names we earn. This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our proper name is as much a part of us as our own skin. It travels with us like a passport, testifying to our unique presence on this earth. The articulation of our name rolls off our tongue with ease and familiarity, yet we rarely turn and examine the part our name plays in what makes us who we are. Our first name reflects the hopes and dreams of our parents and family, our culture, and our own sense of self, while our surname carries our ancestral history, a branding of both affiliation and transmission. In The Power of Names, Mavis Himes explores both the profound ambivalence that many of us feel toward our names and the conscious and unconscious impact our names have on our lives, sometimes for good and sometimes for ill. She explores such questions as: What do our names mean? How do they influence our destiny? What does it mean to lose or change our name - and what does this reveal or conceal about who we are? Himes engages readers through a skillful interweaving of reflections on her own Jewish surname, shortened by immigrant ancestors to accommodate a new life in a new world; the historical and cultural impact of a group on naming practices; the various ways different cultures celebrate the naming of infants; the power of names in myth and legend; and the impact of names on friends and patients from her practice. Readers are invited to consider their own names, the names they give others, and the names of those around them as a starting point for understanding the stories of our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paris has played a unique role in world gastronomy, influencing cooks and gourmets across the world. It has served as a focal point not only for its own cuisine, but for regional specialties from across France. For tourists, its food remains one of the great attractions of the city itself. Yet the history of this food remains largely unknown. A History of the Food of Paris brings together archaeology, historical records, memoirs, statutes, literature, guidebooks, news items, and other sources to paint a sweeping portrait of the city’s food from the Neanderthals to today’s bistros and food trucks. The colorful history of the city’s markets, its restaurants and their predecessors, of immigrant food, even of its various drinks appears here in all its often surprising variety, revealing new sides of this endlessly fascinating city.
