Thirteen-year-old Angelo knows that his father’s job is in jeopardy. Only one thing can save it: inventing a car the world has never seen before. On vacation in the French countryside, Angelo gets an idea. So far, cars have only been made for the rich. Someone should create a car for everyday working people. Angelo thinks he’ss up to the challenge! After a lot of failures, and some rather painful crashes, Angelo, with help from his friend Camille and some other villagers, builds a prototype that just might work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Texas, the 1950's. Buck, a motherless, brilliant boy whose wealthy father's death leaves him without purpose, seeks answers in a quest to medical school. He succeeds but lapses into drink and despair. At his bunkhouse door appears a beautiful and perceptive Hispanic girl-Maria, a dark wanderer who speaks English like a peeress. She rescues him and restores his home to its glory. Falling in love, Buck is inspired and in his bam laboratory builds a device which can prevent deaths like his father's. One great obstacle remains and torments the inventor. Maria, pregnant, proud and unwilling to distract him, strikes out on her own. Her real reason for leaving and her devotion to Buck are obscured by the trickery of Gaines Brill, a medical classmate who comes to cash in 011 Buck's work and fortune. With intense ambition Brill builds a promising enterprise, enlisting the aid of shadowy Washington figures who want to control and pervert the device Buck created. Finally unable to stay away Maria returns with her infant and bestows upon Buck the key to completion of his work. Buck's last experiment upon himself, however, produces a fatal injury and Maria succumbs as well, both of their deaths caused by Brill's neglect and consuming greed. But the baby girl survives. Her life is used by Brill in his pose as a humane industrialist, but her enlightenment, and her revenge, will come.

Download or read book The Island of Lace written by Eric A. Eliason and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicknamed the “Island of Lace,” the Caribbean island of Saba is the smallest special municipality in the Netherlands. Folklorist Eric A. Eliason, at the behest of the president of the Saba Lace Ladies’ Foundation and Saba’s director of tourism, traveled to the island with the intent to document the history and patterns of Saba lace. Born out of his research, The Island of Lace tells the story of lacework’s central role in Saba’s culture, economy, and history. Accompanied by over three hundred of Scott Squire’s intimate photographs of lace workers and their extraordinary island society, this volume brings together in one place an as-complete-as-possible catalog of the rich designs worked by Saban women. For 130 years, the practice of drawn threadwork—also known as Spanish work, fancy work, lacework, or Saba lace—has shaped the lives of Saban women. And yet, as the younger generation moves away from the island, it still survives. Sabans use drawn threadwork to symbolize the uniqueness of their island and express the ingenuity, diligence, bold inventiveness, pride in workmanship, love of beauty, and respect for tradition that define the Saban spirit. Along with recording and honoring the creative legacy of generations of Saban women, this book serves as a guide to folk-art lace patterns from Saba so that practitioners can reference and perhaps re-create this work. The Island of Lace is the most comprehensive volume on this singular tradition ever published.

Download or read book Sea Snails written by Joseph Heller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book presents the diversity and natural history of sea snail groups. By integrating aspects of morphology, ecology, evolution and behaviour, it describes how each group copes with problems of defence, locomotion, nutrition, reproduction and embryonic development. First come general characteristics of the Mollusca, to which snails belong; and next, characteristics by which snails (Gastropoda) differ from other molluscs. Then a broad, panoramic view of all major sea snail groups, from the primitive to the more advanced, is presented, including both the more abundant and some remote ones of special interest. In detailing primitive sea snails, first limpets (Patellogastropoda) are described, followed by brush snails (Vetigastropoda: top-shells, turbans and allies) and nerites (Neritimorpha), a small group with remarkably high variation in shell colour and in habitats. In looking at advanced-snails (Caenogastropoda), it details the herbivorous grazers and filter-feeders and the many voracious predators, some which use venomous darts. The book also covers sea slugs (Opisthobranchia), which have shifted from mechanical to chemical defence; some are herbivores, some use their food to harness solar energy, others are predators that gain stinging cells and poisonous compounds from their food. In addition, readers will learn about aspects of sea snails in human culture, including use as sacred artefacts and objects of magic and money, as a source of the royal and sacred dyes of purple and blue and as holy ceremonial trumpets. The text, in which scientific terms are accompanied by parallel common ones, is accompanied by over 200 illustrations (mostly in colour). This comprehensive, insightful portrait of sea snails will appeal to marine biologists, zoology lecturers and students, biology teachers, field-school instructors, nature reserve wardens, amateur naturalists, as well as to lecturers and learners of human culture.
