David Benioff
When The Nines Roll Over (And Other Stories)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description David Benioff burst onto the literary scene with The 25th Hour , a debut praised by Janet Maslin of The New York Times for its `pungent, funny urban tableau full of shrewd operators and unfulfilled desires.` Now, with When the Nines Roll Over , Benioff uses humor and rich characterizations to explore the sometimes thrilling, sometimes pathetic state of the American urban male. Over the course of eight stories, some with an appealing touch of the surreal, we are introduced to a faded football star, soldiers in a Russian winter, a punk rocker, and other young men on the cusp of discovery and loss. As he evokes the various states of agony and pleasure?humiliation, rebellion, camaraderie, and desire? Benioff displays a profound understanding of the contemporary male psyche. With its knowing, often amusing stories, When the Nines Roll Over confirms the promise of a gifted writer emerging as a storytelling force. [detailed...]

The assault resulted in a fire that killed 76 Branch Davidians, including 23 children. Sheila`s husband and four oldest children died in the fire. Martin told the story of her life, both before and after the attack, to Catherine Wessinger, who then wrote this first-person narrative from the recordings of their sessions together. The result is a haunting account of one life, typical in its ups and downs, made atypical by a collision of faith with history. [detailed...]

When Things Start to Think

Description: This is a book for people who want to know what the future is going to look like and for people who want to know how to create the future. Gershenfeld offers a glimpse at the brave new post-computerized world, where microchips work for us instead ofagainst us. He argues that we waste the potential of the microchip when we confine it to a box on our desk: the real electronic revolution will come when computers have all but disappeared into the walls around us. Imagine a digital book that looks like a traditional book printed on paper and is pleasant to read in bed but has all the mutability of a screen display. How about a personal fabricator that can organize digitized atoms into anything you want, or a musical keyboard that can be woven into a denim jacket? Gershenfeld tells the story of his Things that Think group at MIT`s Media Lab, the group of innovative scientists and researchers dedicated to integrating digital technology into the fabric of our lives.

Publisher: Harmony
Description: Chronic illness may feel like an impassible barrier, but it can become the doorway to a new and more creative existence. Leonardo da Vinci, Frida Kahlo, Michelangelo, and Georgia O`Keeffe are among the many artists whose physical disorders enhanced their creativity and transformed their lives. Illness shaped their work, and their masterpieces changed our world.

When Washington Shut Down Wall Street: The Great Financial Crisis of 1914 and the Origins of America`s Monetary Supremacy

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When Washington Shut Down Wall Street unfolds like a mystery story. It traces Treasury Secretary William Gibbs McAdoo`s triumph over a monetary crisis at the outbreak of World War I that threatened the United States with financial disaster. The biggest gold outflow in a generation imperiled America`s ability to repay its debts abroad. Fear that the United States would abandon the gold standard sent the dollar plummeting on world markets. Without a central bank in the summer of 1914, the United States resembled a headless financial giant. William McAdoo stepped in with courageous action, we read in Silber`s gripping account. He shut the New York Stock Exchange for more than four months to prevent Europeans from selling their American securities and demanding gold in return. He smothered the country with emergency currency to prevent a replay of the bank runs that swept America in 1907. And he launched the United States as a world monetary power by honoring America`s commitment to the… [detailed...]

Naomi Mitchison
When We Become Men

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Naomi Mitchison began her novel-writing career in the 1920s, with historical fictions set in the Ancient world, in Roman and Greek civilisations, and soon won a high reputation world-wide. But she began to move toward present and future as well as past: thus Lobsters on the Agenda (1952) dealt with contemporary Highland life. When in her sixties she began a lasting friendship with a young chief designate of the Bakgatla tribe, Linchwe, she went on to join the tribe, and was adopted as its Mother. She wrote only one adult novel about Botswana, When We Become Men (1965). This fine novel deals with the contemporary fight for equality across southern Africa, and the struggle against apartheid. It ends up projecting towards a future where fighting would be unnecessary. Her main character here is Isaac, a young man brought up in Pretoria, who believes in resistance to a white minority government, and, like Nelson Mandela, backs bloodless sabotage as a political weapon. He deeply distrusts… [detailed...]

When We Were One: Stories of World War II

Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comIn When We Were One W.C. Heinz (who cowrote M.A.S.H. under the pseudonym Richard Hooker) has amassed 21 of his short pieces about World War II (and its aftermath), many of them originally written for The New York Sun newspaper. Heinz includes dispatches from the battleship Nevada during the D-Day invasion and several that follow a company of infantrymen during the Battle of the Bulge. The collection is uneven. Heinz`s prose suffers from Hemingway envy and too many of the stories suffer from a lack of context. They would have been greatly enhanced by the author`s annotations and expansion. There are two notable exceptions: one the account of a post-battle emotional breakdown by one Capt. Joe Dawson in front of his men, the other a moment-by-moment portrait of the field execution, by firing squad, of three German spies. --H. O`Billovich Book DescriptionBefore W. C.

When We Were Young: New Perspectives on the Art of the Child

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In his last and most overarching essay on the subject, Rudolf Arnheim encourages us to see the range of individuality in children`s drawings and to recognize the child`s creation of `significant form` as a way of bringing coherence to his or her experience of the world. This groundbreaking book brings together distinguished critics and scholars, including Rudolf Arnheim, to explore children`s art and its profound but rarely documented history. The contributors address central questions of how children use art to make sense of their experience and what really constitutes visual `giftedness` in children. They also cover such topics as visual thinking, the influence of popular culture on children`s drawings, giftedness versus education in children`s drawings, process, and social interaction in drawing. Created to accompany an exhibition on children`s drawings, When We Were Young features a stunning full-color gallery of drawings both by famous artists such as Ingres, Van Gogh,… [detailed...]

Description: While welfare rolls have dramatically dropped across the United States during the last decade, the high poverty for mothers and their children has not. In fact many of new welfare reform initiatives pose increasingly negative effects on poor children and youth. As these startling statistics mount, federal and state governments continue to cut back on the very services and funds on which impoverished families rely. This groundbreaking new book offers a history of welfare, an accurate portrayal of welfare recipients and an understanding of the relationship between race and welfare. Through detailed research and compelling interviews, award-winning author Ken Neubeck offers a unique comparison of other industrialized nation`s welfare policies compared to ours, and presents a new argument for curtailing the end of welfare as we know it: the case for making economic human rights.

They also explore the lives of biblical women who worshiped despite oppressive circumstances, and found strength and confidence to continue to focus on God.

Description: Millions of American workers live between dependency and self-sufficiency. Despite significant effort, they cannot earn enough to support themselves and their families. Policymakers have come to their aid with a wide range of programs, collectively termed the work support system, that are designed to help needy workers make ends meet. But how well does the system work? In When Work Is Not Enough , Robert Stoker and Laura Wilson take on this critical question. Drawing on state and national data, they examine the adequacy and coverage of the work support system in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. In the process, they evaluate a broad range of policies that provide cash or in-kind benefits to low-wage workers, low-income working families, and families moving from welfare to work. These programs include minimum wage rates, earned income tax credit (EITC) programs, medical assistance programs, food programs, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families earned… [detailed...]

In essay after essay, Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life-having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger on a plane or armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds-to the most deeply resonant human truths. Culminating in a brilliant account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris`s sixth essay collection is a new masterpiece of comic writing from `a writer worth treasuring` (Seattle Times)….

When You Are the Target : Coping With Activist Intrusions and Threats

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The aggressiveness of activism is intensifying. While the threat of terrorism is no where near as great in the United States as it is in other parts of the world, direct activist action against individuals and their families is becoming a routine tactical choice. These threats are intensifying because decreasing public and media interest frustrates current activist causes. That means the tactics selected by activists today must create ever larger disruptions to gain the necessary leverage of fear and embarrassment that attracts media attention and potentially builds groups of activist followers. This monograph focuses on learning how to successfully cope with activist intrusion threats by reducing or eliminating the news media component, which in turn reduces a target`s attractiveness, and ways to outsmart and outmaneuver activists, thus denying them the psychological, ceremonial, ritualistic, and public attention successes they need to achieve their objectives.
