Book Synopsis Nickel and Dimed by : Barbara Ehrenreich
Download or read book Nickel and Dimed written by Barbara Ehrenreich and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling work of undercover reportage from our sharpest and most original social critic, with a new foreword by Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted Millions of Americans work full time, year round, for poverty-level wages. In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that a job—any job—can be the ticket to a better life. But how does anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich left her home, took the cheapest lodgings she could find, and accepted whatever jobs she was offered. Moving from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, she worked as a waitress, a hotel maid, a cleaning woman, a nursing-home aide, and a Wal-Mart sales clerk. She lived in trailer parks and crumbling residential motels. Very quickly, she discovered that no job is truly "unskilled," that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and muscular effort. She also learned that one job is not enough; you need at least two if you int to live indoors. Nickel and Dimed reveals low-rent America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generosity—a land of Big Boxes, fast food, and a thousand desperate stratagems for survival. Read it for the smoldering clarity of Ehrenreich's perspective and for a rare view of how "prosperity" looks from the bottom. And now, in a new foreword, Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, explains why, twenty years on in America, Nickel and Dimed is more relevant than ever.

Book excerpt: “Warm, original, funny and heartbreaking, this novel made me drop everything so I could read it in one lovely afternoon. When You Read This is inventive and witty, but more importantly it’s honest and wise. I adored it.” — Jennifer Close, author of Girls in White Dresses and The Hopefuls For fans of Maria Semple and Rainbow Rowell, a comedy-drama for the digital age: an epistolary debut novel about the ties that bind and break our hearts. For four years, Iris Massey worked side by side with PR maven Smith Simonyi, helping clients perfect their brands. But Iris has died, taken by terminal illness at only thirty-three. Adrift without his friend and colleague, Smith is surprised to discover that in her last six months, Iris created a blog filled with sharp and often funny musings on the end of a life not quite fulfilled. She also made one final request: for Smith to get her posts published as a book. With the help of his charmingly eager, if overbearingly forthright, new intern Carl, Smith tackles the task of fulfilling Iris’s last wish. Before he can do so, though, he must get the approval of Iris’ big sister Jade, an haute cuisine chef who’s been knocked sideways by her loss. Each carrying their own baggage, Smith and Jade end up on a collision course with their own unresolved pasts and with each other. Told in a series of e-mails, blog posts, online therapy submissions, text messages, legal correspondence, home-rental bookings, and other snippets of our virtual lives, When You Read This is a deft, captivating romantic comedy—funny, tragic, surprising, and bittersweet—that candidly reveals how we find new beginnings after loss.

Download or read book Chasing Intimacy written by Al Novak and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 5, 1985, Al Novak’s life changed forever—and not just because his wife was a week away from giving birth to their youngest daughter. That was the day he became chaplain at the Genesee County Jail in Michigan and began leading inmates from crime to Christ. Over the next thirty-three years, he helped those bound by sin and by the laws of man to find their way to the Lord. The pivot came after some tough years living in Gladwin, where the author learned not to rely on the mediocre employment he’d occasionally find or the welfare system but God himself. In this memoir, the author explores how he found his way to Christ—even when his fellow police officers seemed less than pleased with his newfound faith. He also looks back at his growing up days living in the Co-Op—families pooling their resources—to his high school adventures and then to marriage and a police career. Al shares his God hunt as he learned to be content with his wages and discovered the unlimited power of prayer. He moved from intimacy to legalism to grace to performing for God but found little spiritual satisfaction until He got a great big hug from God. You’ll be inspired to overcome challenges and find your faith renewed as you learn about the author’s incredible experiences in Chasing Intimacy.
Book Synopsis The Odyssey of a Modern-Day Job by : Jr. Bruce
Download or read book The Odyssey of a Modern-Day Job written by Jr. Bruce and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant-dog dung. I've dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ and be embraced by Him ..." Philippians 3:7-9 (The Message) The process of being transformed from an immature, self-centered child into a humble, yet powerful servant of the living God can be a long and tedious journey. For some, it is relatively short and painless. For others, it may take a little longer with incidental periods of growing pains. However, for a select few of us, such as me, it can take an entire lifetime, with oftentimes seemingly unbearable pain. My Odyssey included drug abuse, pornography, alcoholism, bankruptcy, foreclosure, divorce, IRS garnishments, losing custody of my daughters, child support, unemployment, the loss of everything of any materialistic value, rage, and failed suicide attempts. The ultimate goal of this life-long odyssey was to manifest, test, and develop my faithfulness to Adonai, and to conform me into the image of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. May this book be an encouragement to everyone who reads it, wherever your odyssey may be at this point in time, to not give up, but instead to cry out to our heavenly Abba, not only for the strength to endure those times of spiritual surgery as He molds our lives, but also for His protection from our own self-destructive lifestyles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is important--and portentous--for if it is true that tragedy is dead, we face a vital cultural loss. . . . The book is bound to start controversy. . . . The very passion and insight with which he writes about the tragedies that have moved him prove that the vision still lives and that words can still enlighten and reveal."--R.B. Sewall, New York Times Book Review "A remarkable achievement. . . . The knowledge is marshalled here with the skill and authority of a great general, and from it a large strategic argument emerges with clarity and force. . . . A brilliantly thoughtful and eloquent book which deserves to be read with the greatest attention and respect."--Philip Toynbee, The Observer "As brilliant, thorough, and concerned a contemplation of the nature of dramatic art as has appeared in many years."--Richard Gilman, Commonweal "A rich and illuminating study, full of intelligence and sensibility."--Times Literary Supplement (London) "His merits are shining and full of the capacity to give both delight and illumination. . . . His style is throughout vigorous, sensitive, and altogether worthy of its subject."--Harold Hobson, Christian Science Monitor "Immensely useful and [a book] to be reckoned with by everyone working in this field."--Raymond Williams, The Guardian
Download or read book Who Cares written by Christopher Howard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive map of the social safety net, public and private, in the United States. Societies are often judged by how they treat their most vulnerable members: the poor and near poor. In the United States, this responsibility belongs not only to governments, but also to charities, businesses, individuals, and family members. Their combined efforts generate a social safety net. In Who Cares, Christopher Howard offers the first comprehensive map of the US social safety net. He chronicles how different parts of American society talk about poverty-related needs. And he shows what Americans do to provide basic levels of income, food, housing, medical care, and daily care. Although the US social safety net is extensive, major gaps remain, particularly impacting Blacks, Hispanics, and individuals who are not employed full-time. Drawing heavily upon evidence from the years right before the Covid-19 pandemic, Howard demonstrates that these problems persist even when the economy seems healthy. Who Cares concludes with an initial assessment of how the social safety net performed during the pandemic.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Persuasion by : Anthony R. DiMaggio
Download or read book The Politics of Persuasion written by Anthony R. DiMaggio and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines how the US media covers high-profile public policy issues in the context of competing claims about media bias. Tracking the effects of media content on the public is a difficult endeavor, and media effects vary on a subject-to-subject basis. To address this challenge, The Politics of Persuasion employs a multifaceted, mixed method approach to studying mass media and public attitudes. Anthony R. DiMaggio analyzes more than a dozen case studies covering US domestic economic policy and examines a wide range of theories of how bias operates in mass media with regard to coverage of these issues. While some research claims that journalists are overly negative and biased against government officials, some reveals that journalists favor citizens groups. Still other studies contend there is a liberal bias in the media, a progovernment bias, or a bias in favor of advertisers and business interests. Through his analysis, DiMaggio is the first to systematically examine all of these competing interpretations. He concludes that reporters tailor stories to corporate and government interests, but argues that the ability to manufacture consent from the public in favor of these elite views is far from guaranteed. According to DiMaggio, citizens often make use of their own personal experiences and prior attitudes to challenge official narratives.
