Book Synopsis The Most Dangerous Place on Earth by : Lindsey Lee Johnson
Download or read book The Most Dangerous Place on Earth written by Lindsey Lee Johnson and published by Random House. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unforgettable cast of characters is unleashed into a realm known for its cruelty—the American high school—in this captivating debut novel. The wealthy enclaves north of San Francisco are not the paradise they appear to be, and nobody knows this better than the students of a local high school. Despite being raised with all the opportunities money can buy, these vulnerable kids are navigating a treacherous adolescence in which every action, every rumor, every feeling, is potentially postable, shareable, viral. Lindsey Lee Johnson’s kaleidoscopic narrative exposes at every turn the real human beings beneath the high school stereotypes. Abigail Cress is ticking off the boxes toward the Ivy League when she makes the first impulsive decision of her life: entering into an inappropriate relationship with a teacher. Dave Chu, who knows himself at heart to be a typical B student, takes desperate measures to live up to his parents’ crushing expectations. Emma Fleed, a gifted dancer, balances rigorous rehearsals with wild weekends. Damon Flintov returns from a stint at rehab looking to prove that he’s not an irredeemable screwup. And Calista Broderick, once part of the popular crowd, chooses, for reasons of her own, to become a hippie outcast. Into this complicated web, an idealistic young English teacher arrives from a poorer, scruffier part of California. Molly Nicoll strives to connect with her students—without understanding the middle school tragedy that played out online and has continued to reverberate in different ways for all of them. Written with the rare talent capable of turning teenage drama into urgent, adult fiction, The Most Dangerous Place on Earth makes vivid a modern adolescence lived in the gleam of the virtual, but rich with sorrow, passion, and humanity. Praise for The Most Dangerous Place on Earth “Alarming, compelling . . . Here’s high school life in all its madness.”—The New York Times “Unputdownable.”—Elle “Impossibly funny and achingly sad . . . [Lindsey Lee] Johnson cracks open adolescent angst with adult sensibility and sensitivity.”—San Francisco Chronicle “[A] piercing debut . . . Johnson proves herself a master of the coming-of-age story.”—The Boston Globe “Entrancing . . . Johnson’s novel possesses a propulsive quality. . . . Hard to put down.”—Chicago Tribune “Readers may find themselves so swept up in this enthralling novel that they finish it in a single sitting.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Book Synopsis Race, Place and the Seaside by : Daniel Burdsey
Download or read book Race, Place and the Seaside written by Daniel Burdsey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first academic monograph to focus exclusively on issues of race, ethnicity, whiteness and multiculture at the English seaside. The book calls for acknowledgement of the racialised nature of this environment, and proposes that its distinctive spaces, places, traditions and narratives should be included within broader analyses of race in contemporary Britain. Introducing the concept of ‘coastal liquidity’ to explain shifting ethno-racial demographics, migratory politics and spatial dynamics at the edge of the sea, along with the relative im/mobilities of the minority ethnic communities who move and reside there, the author provides a relational exploration of seaside experiences: both as a locus of racialised categorisation, exclusion and subjugation, and one of resistance, conviviality and intercultural exchange. Combining theoretical insight and empirical fieldwork, the book disrupts dominant thinking that fixes ontologically minority ethnic bodies to urban spaces, and overcomes their erasure and silencing from the seaside landscapes of the popular imagination.
Book Synopsis Death Valley and the Amargosa by : Richard E. Lingenfelter
Download or read book Death Valley and the Amargosa written by Richard E. Lingenfelter and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1988-01-11 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the history of Death Valley, where that bitter stream the Amargosa dies. It embraces the whole basin of the Amargosa from the Panamints to the Spring Mountains, from the Palmettos to the Avawatz. And it spans a century from the earliest recollections and the oldest records to that day in 1933 when much of the valley was finally set aside as a National Monument. This is the story of an illusory land, of the people it attracted and of the dreams and delusions they pursued-the story of the metals in its mountains and the salts in its sinks, of its desiccating heat and its revitalizing springs, and of all the riches of its scenery and lore-the story of Indians and horse thieves, lost argonauts and lost mine hunters, prospectors and promoters, miners and millionaires, stockholders and stock sharps, homesteaders and hermits, writers and tourists. But mostly this is the story of the illusions-the illusions of a shortcut to the gold diggings that lured the forty-niners, of inescapable deadliness that hung in the name they left behind, of lost bonanzas that grew out of the few nuggets they found, of immeasurable riches spread by hopeful prospectors and calculating con men, and of impenetrable mysteries concocted by the likes of Scotty. These and many lesser illusions are the heart of its history.

Book Synopsis The Wellwishers by : Richard Fountain

Book excerpt: General Adult. At the start of Fountains middling debut, a mlange of political thriller, X-Files science fiction and romance, CIA officer John Gideon saves the life of attractive FBI agent Natalie Reyes during a botched FBI operation in Lisbon, Portugal. Back in the U.S., Gideon and Reyes join forces to investigate some strange doings at Kulbeda Station, an obscure satellite base in Delaware. The base turns out to be the cover for an underground, miniature city housing twin girls known as wellwishers whose paranormal abilities enable them to influence world events. The girls of Littleton become the target of a crack team from North Korea, which hopes to use their gifts to achieve world domination. Gideon and Reyes must use all their resourcefulness to foil the scheme. Paper-thin characters and routine prose dont help the implausible plot.
Download or read book Rage of Angels written by Barry Westburg and published by Wakefield Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rage of Angels, in the same vein as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, juxtaposes weirdly comic scenes from the several lives of Rick Richards, expatriate American. Sometimes real life, with its rusted Mustangs, haunted Rhineland castles, surfing sergeants, Asian chicken shops, and water babies, can dissolve into a cartoon Western or a road movie. And almost always does.
Book Synopsis A Chain of Events by : Joan L. Piper
Download or read book A Chain of Events written by Joan L. Piper and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2001-06-30 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 14, 1994, on a clear morning over northern Iraq's no-fly zone, two U.S. Air Force F-15 jets encountered two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters on a routine mission. Within ten minutes, the F-15s misidentified the helicopters and shot them down with fire-and-forget missiles. For three years, aircraft had patrolled these skies with a near-perfect safety record. Although the Black Hawk's downing was one of the worst air-to-air friendly fire incidents involving U.S. aircraft in military history, the Air Force would officially conclude the pilots had made a reasonable mistake. One victim was ebullient twenty-five-old intelligence officer Laura Piper, in love with life and with being an Air Force lieutenant. Movingly written by her mother, A Chain of Events is the story of LauraÆs final flight and the Air ForceÆs mishandling of the subsequent investigation. It is a story of duty, patriotism, a motherÆs devotion to a daughterÆs memory, and her familyÆs disappointment in a beloved institution.

Download or read book Common Sense written by Tom Pain and published by Page Publishing, Inc. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to represent the thought process of an independent, middle-class voter. After a lifetime of experience in a wide range of occupations, the author hopes to express opinions using humor and insight by adding a variety of personal-interest vignettes that are presented as commentary. Independents will have a significant impact on the 2020 elections. The reasons why I voted for Donald Trump were articulated in detail and were based on my analysis of what an average, hardworking American, Middle Class Independent Voter felt about the Political, Cultural, and Economic conditions that existed at the onset of the 2016 Presidential Election. Donald Trump appeared on the scene at the precise time he was needed. The Middle Class was hurting financially and their dreams for a better life had been ignored by both parties for decades. Spending so many years working dead end jobs or even two jobs barely allowed us to keep our heads above water. The politically correct culture wars drained our strength and tested our patience. The political parties that we had trusted were, elitist, disappointing and arrogant which is why we became Independent voters! Donald Trump instinctively knew we were ripe for the picking. We instinctively knew that he was the right one to pick. And we did!

Book excerpt: Being Simon Thorne, friend and collaborator to Lady Abigail Moran, isn't easy. Yes, being a daring thief does have its charms. But I still haven't convinced Abigail that she loves me, and thievery, for all the romantical writers say of it, is not the way to wealth. Especially if Abigail insists we continuously repair the airship with our ill-gotten gains. So when an old friend summons us to his estate and offers us a daring job with a hefty paycheck, we're happy to accept. The mission: use our airship to transport secret cargo halfway across the globe. Oh, and we mustn't forget to take along the witch and her sinister keeper. A witch more beguiling than expected and her keeper—or is that companion?—with secrets darker than one could imagine. Alas. Perhaps I have finally bitten off more than I can chew... 36,000 words
