Download or read book Papa's War written by Thérèse van Houten and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historical narrative follows the lives of a young couple separated by the upheavals of World War II. In May 1940, Jan van Houten, a Dutch journalist working in London, joins the press office of the Dutch government now exiled in England. When bombing raids over London force his wife Marie and infant daughter to leave the city, the couple write daily letters to express their love and commitment to each other. Jan's letters vividly describe life during the Blitz, and the travails of a government-in-exile. Their correspondence resumes when, in September 1944, Jan is asked to organize press censorship in a recently liberated area of The Netherlands. Here he is eyewitness to historic events such as the aftermath of the allied forces' failed attempt to secure a crucial bridge across the Rhine-a defeat that delays the country's liberation by eight long months. Written by Jan and Marie's daughter Thérèse, Papa's War, is based primarily on Jan's letters backed by diaries, Marie's letters, and historical research. It paints a compelling picture of life in wartime England and postwar Holland. Its publication coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Netherlands' liberation from Germany on May 5, 1945.
Book Synopsis That Ever Loyal Island by : Phillip Papas
Download or read book That Ever Loyal Island written by Phillip Papas and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of crucial strategic importance to both the British and the Continental Army, Staten Island was, for a good part of the American Revolution, a bastion of Loyalist support. With its military and political significance, Staten Island provides rich terrain for Phillip Papas's illuminating case study of the local dimensions of the Revolutionary War. Papas traces Staten Island's political sympathies not to strong ties with Britain, but instead to local conditions that favored the status quo instead of revolutionary change. With a thriving agricultural economy, stable political structure, and strong allegiance to the Anglican Church, on the eve of war it was in Staten Island's self-interest to throw its support behind the British, in order to maintain its favorable economic, social, and political climate. Over the course of the conflict, continual occupation and attack by invading armies deeply eroded Staten Island's natural and other resources, and these pressures, combined with general war weariness, created fissures among the residents of “that ever loyal island,” with Loyalist neighbors fighting against Patriot neighbors in a civil war. Papas’s thoughtful study reminds us that the Revolution was both a civil war and a war for independence—a duality that is best viewed from a local perspective.

He is working on a complex formula that will change the world if he can figure it out. One of his theories removes zero from the number-line and allows to equal 3. His c2 equation allows travel at light speed. So, his team builds a grand new ship capable of carrying two thousand people on an eight-and-a-half-year trip to the stars. Back on his home world, a race was on with the cities of the east. They have their own light speed program and have the same destination planet in mind. As Dr. Chi embarks on his journey and transforms from mathematician to explorer, he leads the charge as history, mythology, and religion are examined in new ways, through archeology, space travel, ritual, and legend. As he, his team, and his crew search for evidence of ancient civilizations on new worlds, they determine that they are not alone in this vast universe full of surprises. In this science fiction tale, a mathematician turned explorer travels on light-speed adventures in space where mythology springs to life and his destiny awaits.

Book excerpt: Priscilla Musonda hat keine Ahnung, wie sie dieses Leben überlebt hat, aber sie weiss warum. Als Überlebende eines lebenslangen sexuellen Missbrauchs ist sie zum Rettungsanker für andere Opfer im Kindesalter geworden. In Gestohlene Kindheit schildert sie die erschreckenden Einzelheiten ihres Lebens in Zambia als Sexsklavin ihres Vaters. Die Übergriffe begannen, als sie gerade mal fünf Jahre alt war und ihre Verwandten ächteten sie deswegen und sagten ihre ein Leben ohne Ehemann voraus. Sie kämpfte um ihre Schulbildung, während sie weiterhin die Übergriffe ihres Vaters ertragen musste. Als Teenager wurde sie gezwungen, ihren Vater zu heiraten, der in polygamer Ehe mit drei weiteren Frauen lebte. Sie gebar ihm vier Kinder—welche ebenfalls von ihrer Familie geächtet wurden. In ihrer Verzweiflung lief sie weg und lebte auf der Strasse. Sie führte ein bitteres Leben, aber nicht so bitter, wie es ihr prophezeiht wurde. Priscilla ist eine Überlebende, nicht ein Opfer. Sie träumt davon, ein Schlupfhaus, eine Schule und ein psychosoziales Zentrum in Zambia zu gründen. Sie erzählt ihre Geschichte in einer ausdruckstarken Sprache und in eindrücklichen Bildern, um dem Leser deutlich zu machen, was sie durch gemacht hat. Sie versucht alles zu tun, damit die Anliegen der Kinder ernst genommen werden. Zehn Prozent des Verkaugfserlöses dieses Buches kommen PSHAF zugute.

Download or read book Greece written by Michael Carroll and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'If in the library of your house you do not have the works of the ancient Greek writers then you have a house with no light' -George Bernard Shaw There is so much in the modern world which has its origins in Greece, most notably language and literature. As Shelley once said, 'We are all Greeks'. This small, rugged, sea-girt country has the longest written history in Europe. Her myths and legends, so deeply embedded in Western consciousness, and her sublime landscapes, so infused with history, have been muse for writers, artists and travellers for millennia. Travelling from Athens to the scattered islands of the Ionian and Aegean seas, the words of literary titans in the West echo through the centuries: from Homer and Plato to Byron, Flaubert and Twain; Henry Miller to John Fowles; the Durrells to Patrick Leigh Fermor and Cavafy, Kazantzakis and Seferis. Their luminous portraits of Greece - poignant, provocative, always entertaining - enrich our own experiences of the country and shed light on a dramatic and often tragic past.
