Book Synopsis Grandpa's Stories by : Ronald (Ronn) L. Shank
Download or read book Grandpa's Stories written by Ronald (Ronn) L. Shank and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-09-17 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of years ago now as one of my grandsons first birthday approached I thought about what to give a one year old. There are a million things that will be played with for a short while then either broken or ignored. I wanted to give something special, something lasting, something that even when older he might still enjoy. Then it struck me, since he likes the silly little stories I tell him upon his request, that maybe I could write some cute little short stories, with a moral as well, just for him (and any of my other grandchildren as well when shared). Thats all it took to get me started. Since then each year I write a little story that somehow relates to something in his life. When another grandchild came along he also was added to the list of recipients of original stories. When I got to thinking about it I decided there may be other grandparents that would like to spend time with their grandchild reading a little story. Now a few years down the pike and I have enough for a book. And so herein I offer my readers a chance to share the joy of time spent reading to a child. That is why my stories were written in the first place. Children go through phases as with my grandchildren there were the dinosaurs, whales, (especially the blue whale), hedge hogs, puppies and gold fish. Im sure you get my drift. All of these fed my imagination and help to produce stories that have a connection and personal touch for both the child and me. These stories are not written for children to read, but rather for a loving adult to sit down with child on their lap or side by side on a shared sofa and be read to. I recommend using funny voices and lots of emphasis and maybe a tickle or two at just the right moment to add flavor and a garnish to each story. The giggles, like sparklers on the 4th of July, will shower joy in all directions and warm the heart of the one reading the story and those close by. Do not be concerned about the content all the stories contained in this book are rated PG - (to be read by Parent or Grandparent). I hope you will enjoy these short stories even more that I did writing them.

If Callie needs anything, you try your best to help her out. OK? And, whatever you do, don't tell Grandma that I'll be riding helicopters as gunner. She'll worry herself sick. Write to me everyday—promise?' 'I promise; just be careful—promise?' 'I'll be alright. Love ya, bud.' Connor squeezed him in his famous bear hug. When Connor Flannigan was declared MIA in a warzone, there was never a doubt that his friend and blood-brother, Milo O'Brien, would come to the rescue. Risking life and limb, Milo goes to Iraq to rescue his friend. But when Milo brings Connor home, it quickly becomes apparent that things will never be the same. Milo is faced with the biggest decision of his life: taking the easy route, or digging in and taking care of his friend regardless of the cost.

Download or read book Trajectories written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trajectories: The Educational and Social Mobility of Educators from the Poor and Working Class, is a collection of mobility narratives of critical scholars in education from poor and working-class backgrounds. While Americans have long held deep-seated cultural beliefs in the capacity of schooling to level unequal playing fields, there has been little research on the psycho-social processes of social and educational mobility in the United States. Rising Up employs narrative research methodologies to interrogate the experiences of class border-crossing via success in school. This volume addresses two discourses within education: First, the experiences of those who have crossed class boundaries contribute to a deeper understanding of how social class functions in the United States. The narratives compiled in this volume explore class within the lives of young people on the margins, as identities, ambition and achievement are constructed and negotiated in school. More specifically, the volume suggests new directions for policy and practice to counteract classism in schools and in the broader culture. As they write of the constraints that they circumvented to succeed against the odds, these authors complicate notions of opportunity as the inevitable reward for high achievement. As they write of agency and tenacity, they will illuminate cultural strengths that likely were invisible to teachers and peers. As critical scholars of education, the contributors to this volume speak specifically to ways in which teacher education can and should address issues of class.

Book Synopsis Last Train From Berlin by : W. T. Tyler
Download or read book Last Train From Berlin written by W. T. Tyler and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In novels such as The Ants of God and Rogue's March, W. T. Tyler has earned a reputation as one of our very best authors. Whether writing about dictators on the African bush, the machinations of the Kremlin, or the equally mystifying antics of Washington's officialdom, Tyler views our global and national affairs with irony, pitch-perfect realism, and mordant insight in to the hubris and folly of great and lesser men alike. In the Last Train from Berlin, Tyler weaves together the tragedies of two men's lives - one American, one Russian - to produce what may be the most powerful indictment of, and most searching elegy to, the tragic waste of the four-decade-long Cold War. When Frank Dudley, a longtime Agency man languishing in the twilight of his career, vanishes without a trace, a junior officer, Kevin Corkey, new to the CIA and unsure he belongs there among the policy mandarins and "black ops" cowboys, is assigned the case. Has the missing man met with foul play? Or has Dudley, a disgruntled member of the old school and the subject of polite contempt, though still a man who knows where a great many skeletons lie buried, hatched a scheme for revenge against those who have passed him by? The answer - one young Corkey and the reader will learn only at the end of this gripping tale - is as profound, complex, and tragic as the history of the covert war between our century's two greatest superpowers. Treating issues of fidelity and betrayal, exile and alienation, Last Train from Berlin is a memorable achievement.

Book Synopsis Die Wolgadeutschen Unsere Familien by : Gary Leikam
Download or read book Die Wolgadeutschen Unsere Familien written by Gary Leikam and published by Gary Leikam. This book was released on with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second of a two-volume set, which together, tell the story of die Wolgadeutschen, the Volga Germans, from both a big picture and small picture perspective. The first volume, Unsere Leute (Our People), uses a wide-angle lens to tell the broad, overall story of the Volga German people and their place in history. This volume, Unsere Familien (Our Families), zooms in and narrows the focus to tell the personal family stories of the author's paternal Leikam and Karlin ancestors, and the family stories of two Russian cousins from another branch of the Leikam family, and the closely related Weilert family. These four interwoven families lived closely together in Katharinenstadt on the banks of the Volga, for over a century, until the 1870s, when changing economic and political conditions led many to seek a fresh start in the New World. Their histories took widely divergent paths from this point. The author's ancestors were among the waves of Volga German immigrants who left Russia in the late 1870s, to establish new settlements on the virgin prairies in northwest Kansas; survived the severe economic hardships of the Great Depression/Dust Bowl era; fought against their primordial fatherland in two world wars; and eventually assimilated into the fabric of modern American culture. His Russian cousins’ ancestors remained in Russia. Their family stories are both poignant tales, filled with drama and tragedy, that play out during the terrible decades of the Communist Revolution, the Russian Civil War, the Great Famine, collectivization, Stalin’s reign of terror, and the deportation after the Nazi invasion of Russia in 1941. But both are also positive stories of the survival of human decency and goodness in the midst of profound evil. This book is a must for anyone related to or interested in these families. The comparison and contrast of the parallel histories of these four closely related families also makes it a great addition to the library of anyone interested in the history of the Volga Germans in general.
