Book excerpt: This unique combination of local, cultural and family history explores the lives of the men and women who worked in the baking trade in the regional Queensland town of Warwick during the century after the town's establishment in 1861. What emerges is a microcosm of Australia as it was until the rapid technological changes and societal shifts that began in the 1960s. Printed in colour and enriched by anecdotes and scores of photographs, advertisements, and newspaper clippings, the book is both a record and an affectionate reflection on an era characterised by hard work, enterprise, resilience and optimism, and provides a rare glimpse into traditional bakeries where magicians in aprons and baker's caps turned flour, yeast, salt and water into the wonder of bread. Beginning with background about Australia's and Queensland's early bakeries and flour mills, it tells the stories of some of Warwick's remarkable baking pioneers. It also traces the history of Warwick's flour mills and the successive owners of the large bakehouses known to have existed. Woven into these stories are broader events that affected all of Australia (immigration, two world wars, and the Great Depression) and the theme of hope of building a bright and prosperous future through hard work and enterprise. The book includes a list of some 160 owners, bakers, pastrycooks and carters identified as having worked in the trade in Warwick over the century concerned, as well as sections dealing with bread distribution, the bread-making process, ovens and other essential equipment, the role of various baking associations, and the importance of institutions such as the Bread Research Institute in contributing the science that turned baking into the bread manufacturing industry. Useful sources of further information about Warwick's history are also included and some concluding reflections.

Download or read book Warwick's Villages written by Donald A. D'Amato and published by American Chronicles. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Samuel Gorton's first settlers on the Conimicut shore agreed to live without formal government, the villages of Warwick have been fiercely independent. Despite their individualism, however, their histories are inextricably bound. The ravages of King Philip's War left no village unscathed, as settlers lost their houses, livestock and even their lives. England's trade laws forced these seafaring people to smuggle rum out of Mill Cove, and the famous 1772 burning of the British Gaspee near Pawtuxet ignited the flame of protest across Rhode Island. Tracing the history of five villages, Warwick's beloved historian Donald D'Amato reveals how Rhode Island's second-largest city has retained the feel of a small, close-knit community.

Book excerpt: The author of Last Train to Paradise tells the story of the largest public water project ever created—William Mulholland’s Los Angeles aqueduct—a story of Gilded Age ambition, hubris, greed, and one determined man who's vision shaped the future and continues to impact us today. In 1907, Irish immigrant William Mulholland conceived and built one of the greatest civil engineering feats in history: the aqueduct that carried water 223 miles from the Sierra Nevada mountains to Los Angeles—allowing this small, resource-challenged desert city to grow into a modern global metropolis. Drawing on new research, Les Standiford vividly captures the larger-then-life engineer and the breathtaking scope of his six-year, $23 million project that would transform a region, a state, and a nation at the dawn of its greatest century. With energy and colorful detail, Water to the Angels brings to life the personalities, politics, and power—including bribery, deception, force, and bicoastal financial warfare—behind this dramatic event. At a time when the importance of water is being recognized as never before—considered by many experts to be the essential resource of the twenty-first century—Water to the Angels brings into focus the vigor of a fabled era, the might of a larger than life individual, and the scale of a priceless construction project, and sheds critical light on a past that offers insights for our future. Water to the Angels includes 8 pages of photographs.

Book excerpt: "An entertaining memoir that reads like a sitcom." "Made me laugh until tears were coming down my face." In Growing up Greenpoint, Tommy Carbone captures what it was like to be a kid during the 1970s and 80s in Brooklyn, New York. This funny, and sometimes emotional, memoir follows the years Tommy was educated not only in the classrooms of St. Stan's, but on the streets of Greenpoint. It was there, playing street games with friends, being cornered by muggers, playing kissing games with the girls, spending time with family, and constantly seeking out the best snack foods in the neighborhood, where Tommy learned a lot about life; although he may not have known it at the time. A simple conversation, years later, about the New York City Blackout of 1977 sparks Tommy to recall his youth in the city he loved. His stories will bring you into the action of what it was like to dodge cars during a ballgame, to take a hike to another borough in search of a particular burger, to the hours spent playing pinball in a corner candy store, and how special it was to build traditions with three generations of Polish and Italian relatives in Brooklyn's garden spot. The vivid descriptions of his antics of what it was like to grow up during those years will transport you to the sounds and smells of living in the city during those trying years. Reading this book, you'll be entertained, and at the same time, you may shake your head wondering how Tommy ever survived - Growing up in Greenpoint.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated historian Richard Rhodes explores the Spanish Civil War through the stories of the reporters, writers, artists and doctorswho witnessed it The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) engaged an extraordinary number of exceptional artists and writers: Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Martha Gellhorn, Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, John Dos Passos, to name only a few. The idealism of the cause - defending democracy from fascism at a time when Europe was darkening toward another world war - and the brutality of the conflict drew from them some of their best work: Guernica, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Homage to Catalonia. Paralleling the outpouring of writing and art, the war spurred breakthroughs in military and medical technology. So many different countries participated directly or indirectly in the war that Time magazine called it the 'Little World War'; Spain served in those years as a proving ground for the devastating technologies of World War II, and for the entire 20th century.

Download or read book Stories of William Tell and His Friends written by H. Marshall and published by . This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legend of William Tell takes on new meaning in this wonderful retelling by master storyteller H. E. Marshall. William Tell is the folk hero of Switzerland whose exploits were first recorded in a fifteenth-century Swiss chronicle.Set in the time of the first Swiss Confederacy, Tell's story runs alongside that of the struggle for independence waged against the Holy Roman Empire by the Alpine nation.According to the legend, Gessler, a newly-appointed Austrian ruler of two local regions, caused his hat to be placed on a raised a pole in the central square of a village, and ordered that all the townsfolk bow before it. When Tell refused to bow to the hat, Gessler ordered Tell's son to be seized. The tyrannical ruler then demanded that Tell shoot an apple off his son's head or both of them would be executed. Tell took the shot, and succeeded... From there, numerous incidents took place which led to the assassination of Gessler, an act that sparked the Swiss rebellion. There is no real evidence that William Tell actually existed or that the events recounted in the legend really took place. Marshall addresses it this way in her introduction:"Yet some people say that William Tell never lived. Let them visit the R�tli, Tell's Platte, the Hollow Way, and let them ask themselves whether Tell lives in the hearts of his countrymen or not."ContentsChapter I: How Gessler and Landenberg Came to Rule in SwitzerlandChapter II: The Story of Arnold of MelchthalChapter III: The Story of Gessler and StauffacherChapter IV: How the Cap of Austria Was Set UpChapter V: The Meeting of the Three PatriotsChapter VI: The Gathering on the R�tliChapter VII: William Tell and His Great ShotChapter VIII: The Escape of William TellChapter IX: Tell's Second ShotChapter X: How Castle Rossberg Was TakenChapter XI: How Castle Sarnen Was TakenChapter XII: How the Emperor Albrecht Met His DeathChapter XIII: The Battle of Morgarten
