9/11 And Home $6.95 9/11 AND HOMEOn September 10, 2001, a haggard Chicago lawyer just wanted to go home. But the weather in Newark, and a little thing called 9/11, got in his way. Let’s just start with this, though: 9/11 and Home is not truly a 9/11 book, so feel free to place any knee-jerk red flags you may think you see safely into your natty little pocket. That quite historic event is merely the backdrop for this irreverent, brutally honest and compelling, true story of both temporary and life-long friends facing a wild assortment of unique challenges. Those challenges initially derive from the tragedy we’re all so familiar with but. in actuality, this is no more “another 9/11 book” than Titanic was a movie about “proper boat maintenance.” This book is decidedly different, and actually represents an entirely unique style of writing. A new genre.9/11 and Home is a highly quirky memoir/work-of-narrative-non-fiction which creatively chronicles a rapid-fire, page turning array of intense, and alternately quite funny, experiences and relationships forged by strangers from around the U.S. and the world during the week of the attacks. It’s simply a very humorous and compelling recounting of one stressed-out attorney’s experiences while stranded for a week in a huge Newark hotel–all after eye-witnessing each Trade Center tower collapse upon itself. Life, death, sex, drugs, race, religion, politics—it’s all here. As opposed to stories of direct victims, caregivers or rescuers during that week, this book is about how the rest of us experienced 9/11. And “Home” is what the book is ultimately about: what home actually is, what it means to us as Americans, and all of our individually funny, weird, sad, great, and very-personal impressions of it. 9/11 and Home is, shamelessly, about just that. “If you’ve ever finished a book and had to sit back for a moment and collect yourself, you should definitely take this ride.” |

A Biography Of James M. Peebles … $29.89 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.Excerpt from book:School DaysII “All things are engaged in writing their history; the air is full of sounds, the sky of tokens; the ground is all memoranda and signatures, and every object covered over with hints which speak to the intelligent.” — textit{Emerson. Down the valley from the old homestead, about one mile away, just ” round by the pond,” was a little red schoolhouse. A second growth of maple and birch occupied the outlying grounds. A clear, limpid brook meandered on the further side of the little valley, abounding with fish, lamper-eels, and fresh-water shells. To childhood’s eyes the saplings were tall trees, the neighboring hills towered up like mountains, and the little brook seemed like a respectable river. Names were carved on those saplings,— that of James among the rest. The brook where the boys and girls fished, and built dams and water-wheels, still winds like a silver thread among the fields, but how diminutive compared with what it once seemed! The landscape still remains. The same moon casts its silver shine on the laughing face of the little brook, and the silent constellations look down upon this local scene as in ” days of yore.” But the boys and girls of the ” olden days ” are no longer there. They have all been transplanted from this early lesson school,— some to peaceful industrious homes in the far West, some to active participation in the world’s great movements, and still others from the visible arena to a home in the heavens. In this little red schoolhouse James acquired those rudiments of written speech which were essential to open to him the book lore he was to master in his prime. His early tutors did not cast his horoscope, however. They knew nothing of the quality of genius they had taken in hand to train. Child education in those days — and for that matter, largely at |

Come on Seabiscuit $7.95 It was the Thoroughbred race of the century! On November 1, 1938, the United States was in the middle of the Great Depression. Nevertheless, thousands of fans left behind their troubles that day to gather at the Pimlico racetrack in Baltimore, Maryland, to cheer on Seabiscuit, the horse from the West—the people’s horse with the oversized head and the stubby little legs. Seabiscuit was competing against War Admiral, winner of the Triple Crown, the three greatest races in the Thoroughbred world. Exploding from the start, by the far turn of the track the two champions were running neck and neck, neither giving an inch. Then Seabiscuit looked War Admiral squarely in the eye, snorted his trademark challenge, and powered away from the eastern victor…Seabiscuit was an unlikely hero. Considered lazy by his trainer, he was overraced, broken down, and in the lowest ranks of racehorses by the age of two. Then in 1936, old-time cowboy trainer Tom Smith—who saw something in Seabiscuit, despite the colt’s reputation—convinced businessman Charles Howard to buy the horse. Howard did, for practically nothing, and hired jockey Jack “Red” Pollard to ride him. Smith and Pollard were as down-and-out as Seabiscuit at the time, but together the threesome made history!With great courage and stamina, and an even greater heart, Seabiscuit overcame injuries in the course of his career that would have killed a lesser horse, and in his four years of racing topped the Thoroughbred earnings record of his time. The story of Seabiscuit’s life—now a major motion picture starring Tobey Maguire—is in turn thrilling, heartbreaking and incredibly inspiring.Ralph Moody, the second of six children, was born on December 16, 1898, in East Rochester, New Hampshire. In 1950, when he was fifty-two years old, Ralph enrolled in a short-story writing class. Encouraged by his teacher, he turned a class paper into a book, Little Britches, |

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (Volume 1); His Family-Letters $18.93 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:melancholy task to hunt through drawers, pigeon-holes, etc., in the house (30 Torrington Square) occupied by my sister Christina—of memory gracious to many—up to the date of her death, 29 December 1894. I came upon a little red writing-case, given by Dante Rossetti to our mother in 1849 ; in the writing-case were these verses of her composition. They are dated 1876, the year when my sister Maria Francesca died ; after Dante’s death in 1882 a final couplet was added. To me the lines, recording a succession of family losses, arc pathetic; they come from a heart full of affection. Perhaps the reader will think it ridiculous that I should print them ; at worst, the ridicule will apply to me alone, and not to the writer, who in youth and age kept all such things very much to herself. ” No longer I hear the welcome sound Of Father’s foot upon the ground; No longer sec the loving face Of Mother beam with kindly grace; No longer hear ‘ how I rejoice’ At sight of me, from Sister’s voice ;’ No more from Husband loved will be a ‘ Cara Francesca, moglie mia ‘; And from dear Daughter sore I miss ‘My dearest Dodo,’2 and her kiss:— I never more shall hear him speak, The dearly loved who called me ‘ Tique.’”‘ III. RELATIVES. i Frances Rossetti was the daughter of Gactano Polidori, ‘ and of Anna Maria Polidori, mfe Pierce. My maternal great-grandfathers were both born an immense time ago; Agostino Ansaldo Polidori in 1714, and William Pierce in 1736: strange to think of. Even mymaternalgrandfather dates as far back as 1764, and my grandmother as far back as 1769. The year 1714 witnessed the accession of George I. to the British throne ; 1736, the death of Prince Eugene; 1764, the death of Hogarth; 1769, the publication of the first Letter of Junius… |
