Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christmas story and the origin of many holiday traditions are thoroughly detailed in the text of S is for Star: A Christmas Alphabet. The first Christmas cards were printed and sold in the United States by a German immigrant in 1874. Long ago, eating pie was believed to bring good luck, and during the holidays they were baked in an oblong shape to look like a manger. The message of Christmas is a message to all the world and is beautifully conveyed and illustrated in S is for Star. Our tradition of gift-giving is based on the Wise Men's visit to Baby Jesus. Nearly every country has its own gift-giving traditions. In Great Britain, children eagerly await Father Christmas. In France, he is called Pere Noël. In Italy, Befana brings presents, and German and Austrian children wait for a visit from the Christkindl. Celebrate these and many other traditions of the holiday season with S is for Star: A Christmas Alphabet.

Book excerpt: Visit the author's website at www.thelightonthestar.com Six months before he is murdered, President John F. Kennedy looks into the eyes of the graduating cadets of the Class of 1963 at the U. S. Air Force Academy. He speaks of the singular burden America shoulders in protecting freedom around the globe. He says, "This is the role which history and our own determination has placed upon a country which lived most of its history in isolation and neutrality, and yet in the last 18 years has carried the burden f or free people everywhere. I think that this is a burden which we accept willingly, recognizing that if this country does not accept it, no people will, recognizing that in the most difficult time in the whole life of freedom, the United States is called upon to play its greatest role." the graduates rise, vigorously applauding their young warrior-president, answering his call to serve their country, having no inkling of the turbulent decade about to break over them.The Light on the Star is about a time of upheaval in America, as a war in Asia fans the flames of incendiary turmoil at home. Through it all, idealistic young men from the Class of '63 struggle with duty, hon or and bonds forged with classmates as their once-proud, once-victorious Air Force staggers to defeat, trying to fight a new kind of air war. Unlike earlier air battles in World War II where civilian casualties mattered little, they become central in political debates as Americans grapple with the realities of a war televised nightly.The Light on the Star is also about the end of one era in the American way of aerial warfare and the emerging of another dimly. the consequences reverberate through the lives of fighter pilots caught in the crosshairs, battered by forces they can't comprehend. Their long, tumultuous journey through the sixties is an inspiring story of service to country under adversity, marked by the breadth of emotions of the cockpit - ranging from the pure thrill of flying jet airplanes to the stark terr or of things going desperately wrong under fire.Steve Dotson's novel, The Light on the Star, is well-written, gritty and intelligent. Combining drama with history, it captures the turmoil of the sixties at a gut level. Its authentic flying scenes, especially its vivid combat missions, make the joys and fears of the cockpit real. It's a great read.-- General Ronald R. Fogleman, U. S. Air Force (Retired)-- Fighter pilot and former Chief of Staff, U.S. Air ForceContact the auth or -- [email protected] Visit the author's website at www.thelightonthestar.com
Book Synopsis Son of the Morning Star by : Evan S. Connell
Download or read book Son of the Morning Star written by Evan S. Connell and published by North Point Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Son of the Morning Star is the nonfiction account of General Custer from the great American novelist Evan S. Connell. Custer's Last Stand is among the most enduring events in American history--more than one hundred years after the fact, books continue to be written and people continue to argue about even the most basic details surrounding the Little Bighorn. Evan S. Connell, whom Joyce Carol Oates has described as "one of our most interesting and intelligent American writers," wrote what continues to be the most reliable--and compulsively readable--account of the subject. Connell makes good use of his meticulous research and novelist's eye for the story and detail to re-create the heroism, foolishness, and savagery of this crucial chapter in the history of the West.

Book excerpt: "I'll need your help. Come night and the Oracle again, I'm going to try the final couplet." "Jinian," Murzy breathed while Dodie looked white-eyed at me. "Dangerous." "And fatal not to," I said, still smiling at them all... I wove by forest and meadow, branch and leaf. I wove by stream and pool, by river and fall. I wove by cloud and air, by thunder and sunset glow. I wove by depths of the earth, rock and gem, glittering ores and crystals blooming in the dark, old bone and new. Beside me the others wove as well... "And all within sound of my voice or reach of the wind," I cried, thrusting my voice like a Sending, like a magic spear, driving it upward. "And all within sound of my voice or lick of the wave, or all within sound of my voice or stretch of the soil, or all within sound of my voice where green grows and leaf springs up. Named or unnamed, silent or speaking. Let this message be brought, By the Eye of the Star, Where Old Gods Are!"
