Book Synopsis It May Never Happen by : V.S. Pritchett
Download or read book It May Never Happen written by V.S. Pritchett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: V.S. Pritchett's Englishness – the dependable Englishness of shabby, bumptious businessmen, shy wives, puritanical suburbanites and vinegar-tongued grandmothers – often came out in surprising ways. Though comfortably set in the dirty brick factories south of the river or the dreary commuter villages on the outskirts of London, a story will show a Russian sense of passing time or a French pertness, glow poetically like a Bruno Schulz, or wound with the terrible detail of a Danilo Kis. The innate knowledge of the insider is registered with the outsider's shocked vividness. The fourteen stories of It May Never Happen show Pritchett's distinctive mastery. A fearful sailor falls into temptation ashore. An evangelist of the Church of the Last Purification arrives in a provincial town to demonstrate the non-existence of evil. A party of cyclists mistakes a private house for a pub. Two business partners fall out over money and a typist called Miss Croft with a 'small waist' and 'big red fingers'. And Aunt Gertrude breaks a mirror and remembers her girlhood.

Book Synopsis It Should Never Happen Again by : Mike Lauder
Download or read book It Should Never Happen Again written by Mike Lauder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In It Should Never Happen Again, Dr Mike Lauder questions the value of public inquiries. Every day, we hear about another inquiry being set up, or why the last one failed to deliver the hoped for outcomes. A great deal of time and taxpayers’ money is spent on inquiries and even more on implementing their recommendations, but the author suggests that those conducting inquiries might be considered (by their own test) criminally negligent in the way they do so and that it is no surprise that they do not lead to the learning they should. The focus of Mike Lauder’s research is the gaps between what is known, what knowledge is used by practitioners and those who judge them. He contends that the difference between the judicial perspective and that of practitioners who are judged by the inquiry process creates barriers that impede others from learning. Crucially, inquiry outcomes do not assist the leadership of organisations to improve risk governance. It Should Never Happen Again is based on research into high profile public inquiries and presidential commissions in the UK, the USA, Continental Europe, and elsewhere. Embracing issues ranging from terrorist attacks to pollution, fire and air disasters; criminal cases; banking and bribery scandals; and the state of public services, Mike Lauder contrasts the judicial perspective of those who inquire, the academic perspective of those who know and the practical perspective of those who are required to act, and offers new models for understanding risk and its governance.

Download or read book It'll Never Happen Again written by Raoul Moret Pierre and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the great depression started in 1929, times were hard for colored people in the south especially in large cities but not as much in rural areas. Most of the rural areas were littered with sharecroppers who were mostly holdovers from the slavery era and stayed on the land they were born. Most of them had never been any further than the nearest town close to where they lived. Three such families lived on land their families had farmed for years. The landowners were the Holcomb and Nobles and the three families that lived and farmed the land were the Carters, the Longs and the Isaacs. The Carter family was Granny Nettie Adams, her son-in-law, Abraham, his wife, Eve and three kids, the Long family, John Henry, his wife, Florence called ‘Flossie’ and their three kids and the Isaac family of four, William, his wife Cara and two kids. They all lived and worked as sharecroppers on the Holcomb and Nobles’ land just north of Denmark, South Carolina. On December fifteenth 1921, John Henry Long’s wife, ‘Flossie’, gave birth to their third child, a girl named June but ‘Flossie’ died shortly after giving birth due to complications. John Henry did the best he could to care for his three children and hired a neighbor’s daughter to care for his kids while he worked his land. She worked for him for over a year until she wanted to get married and leave Denmark. Initially, he would take the kids to the field with him and his oldest son, Bankston, who he called ‘Banks’, who was only seven, would watch the kids who were Mae Helen, five and the baby, who was barely walking, June and he called her ‘Lil Sis’. One day, Granny Nettie came to the fields to bring her son-in-law, ‘Abe’, his lunch and saw John Henry’s kids and offered to care for them along with her own three great grandkids. Her granddaughter, Eve, worked at the Holcomb’s house as the cook after her mother died in the winter of 1918. She was an only child since her mother died at age twenty three and her father left going to Charleston and never came back. Everyday before he went to the fields, John Henry would bring kids to the Carter house. This arrangement worked very well until the summer of 1923 when ‘Abe’ was killed in an farming accident. His mule kicked him in the head and he was drug with the plow. The news of his death devastated Eve and left her wondering how she, the kids and Granny Nettie were going to make it and be able to farm the land. Eve had loved ‘Abe’ since she first saw him in town at the general store when she was ten and married him when she turned sixteen. ‘Abe’s’ family lived on the other side of Denmark but shopped at the general store like most people in the area. After ‘Abe’s’ death, John Henry began to stay at the Carter’s when he came by to pick up his kids, have dinner and would flirt with Eve. At first, she didn’t acknowledge his flirting but after a long talk with Granny Nettie about John Henry’s flirting and her need for a husband to provide for her and her three kids, she gave in and married him in late 1924. It wasn’t about love because she said she could never love another man after ‘Abe’, it was just about the kids and both of their needs to support their kids. Eve decided to moved to John Henry’s house and Granny Nettie came with them to watch the kids during the day while he worked the fields and Eve continued to work at the Holcomb’s house. At first, the arrangement worked great until the spring of 1925 when John Henry made the boys go to the fields with him to work. Most days, the kids went to the Denmark School for Colored Children. Eve’s sons, Joshua, called ‘Josh’, and Daniel, called ‘Danny’ and John Henry’s son Bankston, called ‘Banks’ would go to the fields some days but John Henry began to make them stay out of school and began to treat Eve’s sons differently. He would beat them with his strap sometimes two or three times a week if they didn’t do what he told him to do in the

Book Synopsis Baby P - It Must Never Happen Again by : John McShane
Download or read book Baby P - It Must Never Happen Again written by John McShane and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2009-09-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragic and violent death of 17-month old Baby P at the hands of those who were supposed to love and care for him has sickened the nation. That such unimaginable cruelty could be unleashed on an innocent child - and fail to be picked up on by the authorities - has led to a public outcry and a media storm.This is a comprehensive look at the events leading up to the death of Baby P. A recent investigation has found that there was poor communication between authorities, a repeated failure to take into account the child's history and inaccurate documentation of events by Haringey Council. Child protection plans were heavily criticized in the inspection report for being disorganized with little analysis of the child and no clear decision-making. With the three perpetrators awaiting sentencing and politicians debating what can be done now and in the future, the public are left angry and bewildered as just how this was allowed to happen.

It’s awesome.” -Charlene Dawson, writer and journalist “Edward, dear! What a fantastic tale you weave! Your memories and book style captivated my whole being. I had thought I would merely peruse the hundred and twenty pages and just say a little white lie that I had read the whole thing. But, no, I could not quit until I read it all. I believe your book should appeal to those who lived in that era and those who are interested in how life ‘was’ in the olden/golden days.” -Charline Gajdos, lifelong secretary and world traveler “Watkins is the best salesman since St. Paul. [He] shows that faith can move mountains.” -John Dudley, Scout Master of California “Dear Edward, this was an amazing autobiography. Your memory for the details is extraordinary and the recounting of your childhood, flying career, sales career, and golfing experiences is amazing.

Book Synopsis It Can't Happen Here by : Sinclair Lewis
Download or read book It Can't Happen Here written by Sinclair Lewis and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The novel that foreshadowed Donald Trump’s authoritarian appeal.”—Salon It Can’t Happen Here is the only one of Sinclair Lewis’s later novels to match the power of Main Street, Babbitt, and Arrowsmith. A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler’s aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press. Called “a message to thinking Americans” by the Springfield Republican when it was published in 1935, It Can’t Happen Here is a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today’s news. Includes an Introduction by Michael Meyer and an Afterword by Gary Scharnhorst
