Alp Er Tunga - Unutulmayan Kağan TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Genç Timaş

Late in the afternoon on June 29, 1905, a kid called Moonlight bolted out of the New York Giants’ dugout and took up his position in right field for the first and only time as a major league baseball player. It was an event of such little consequence that even those from the announced crowd of 2,000 at Brooklyn’s Washington Park didn’t take notice. And yet a century later, Archibald "Moonlight" Graham has become so well known that a film crew traveled all the way from Tokyo, Japan, to create a documentary on him and a California company trademarked his name for its line of baseball-themed apparel. No one in the ballpark on that otherwise ordinary afternoon could have imagined that pilgrims would one day journey to Graham’s grave site to leave candy, coins, baseballs, and other tokens of gratitude and esteem. Or that the Minnesota Twins would play a tribute game in his honor, marking the 100th anniversary of his flash of major league glory. So what was it about that half an inning that makes so many people want to talk about it so many years later? Ten years after Graham’s 1965 death, author W. P. Kinsella stumbled across his record while researching a book on the legendary Shoeless Joe Jackson. Kinsella was so intrigued by Graham that he used his name for a secondary character in his award-winning novel, Shoeless Joe. Hollywood director and screenwriter Phil Alden Robinson decided that Graham deserved a larger audience when his adaptation of Shoeless Joe was released to the movie-going public under the title Field of Dreams. He chose Academy Award–winning actor Burt Lancaster to play the beloved Doc Graham in what would be his final screen appearance. Neither the book nor movie came close to communicating the character and complexity of the quiet North Carolina native who spent the bulk of his adult life isolated in a small, out-of-the-way town not far from the Canadian border. In their new biography of Graham—Chasing Moonlight—authors Bret Friedlander and Robert Reising prove that truth is just as interesting as fiction. Graham came from one of North Carolina’s most respected families. His father, Alexander, was a superintendent of schools in North Carolina and was so beloved that the Charlotte Observer once suggested that "perhaps not a man in [town:] was as well-known." His younger brother, Frank Porter Graham, became president of the University of North Carolina, a United States senator, and an early champion of the civil-rights movement. Frank was held in such high regard that he was once offered a chance at the vice presidency by none other than Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1902, Graham’s first year as a professional ballplayer, his team was disbanded at mid-season because of, among other considerations, a lack of competition. Still an unknown rookie, Graham, who had just earned his undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina, began attending medical school at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. While completing his medical training in Maryland and later New York City, Graham continued to play baseball. During the four seasons when he played minor league ball in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Graham was a respected, caring man who dedicated his life to helping others. Instead of calling attention to his philanthropy, he simply chose to quietly extend a $10 handshake to a local miner who happened to be down on his luck. After his brief appearance in the major leagues, Graham moved to Chisholm, Minnesota, where he practiced medicine for the next 44 years. His pioneering research on child blood pressure is still used at such respected institutions as the Mayo Clinic. After getting his license, becoming a doctor, and moving to Minnesota, Graham was offered one final chance to choose the sport he loved over the profession for which he’d been trained when the Boston Red Sox purchased his contract following the 1910 season. This time, he turned down the offer. Some may look at Graham’s decision to leave baseball behind after just five minutes in the majors as a tragedy, but the only real tragedy is that the world didn’t get to know the good doctor until long after he was gone. With the publication of Chasing Moonlight that tragedy can be rectified.

Birinci Kadın İşçi Taburu (1917-1919) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Akıl Fikir Yayınları

It all starts when Lina brings an essay she has written about storks to school. She carefully reads it aloud, wondering to her fellow students about the lack of storks in their seaside Holland town. Discussion spurred by her essay by students and teacher alike causes Teacher to cancel school for the rest of the day – so his students can wonder about the stork problem. Lina gets to wandering and wondering, thinking like the storks to figure out how to lure them to Shora’s rooftops. In school the next day, the children decide that there are two reasons the storks have gone from Shora. Firstly, their roofs are all too pointy – no stork will nest on a pointy rooftop! Secondly, all the trees have gone, and there is no shelter for the storks to seek. Realizing that planting trees will take years and years, the students set off on a mission – search all of Shora for a wagon wheel to place on top of their school. The ensuing chapters follow each student as he or she discovers a wheel for the school, some enlisting help from other townspeople. The chapters of searching culminate and join together again with Lina’s discovery of a wagon wheel submerged under a wrecked rowboat in the ocean. The Wheel on the School, a potential read-aloud for young children, paints a portrait of life in Holland, of determined children, and of the majestic stork itself. The book, in my opinion, probably only stands up today as a read-aloud. I don’t think any kids would be interested in the story otherwise – the episodic chapters where each child is searching for a wheel on their own strike me as perfect for a young child’s bedtime story – but not a solo pleasure read. Hewin would be pleased that nothing truly devastating happens in the novel, except for the brief disappearance of two young children (who, readers will know from the previous chapter, are exploring the bell tower).

Ecel-i Kaza TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Palet Yayınları

This book contains the first 2 novels in MacLeod's "The Fall Revolution" series. The first one, The Star Fraction is a near-future cyberpunk-ish story set in a balkanized version of the UK after WW III. The second one, The Stone Canal A Novel, is partly set before the first novel and partly far in the future. The Star Fraction reminded me of more politically-focused early William Gibson novel - but not in a good way. Despite having been written 10 years after Neuromancer, it somehow came across as more dated, probably at least in part because Gibson didn't know much about computers, whereas MacLeod tried to drop in some then-current computer terms and technologies which now seem dated. The main character is Moh Kohn, a security mercenary who accidentally obtains information/technology that could change the world. Other characters are a scientist working on proscribed technology, and a teenage kid escaping from a hyper-religious enclave. Expect lots of political arguments and glimpses at the hard life of a political splinter group interrupted by the occasional action scene. I barely felt any connection with any of the characters and at several points almost stopped reading, despite the fact that the future history MacLeod created is actually quite interesting. The Stone Canal A Novel alternates telling two stories, the first one focusing on the life Jonathan Wilde, showing glimpses of his life as a student in the 70's, 80's and 90's, and the second one of his adventures on New Mars in the far future. Once again, expect a considerable amount of political discussions. Fortunately, Wilde is actually an interesting character, making this second novel a more enjoyable read. Also, reading his story puts the first book in perspective and explains a lot of the events that led up to the Fall Revolution (leading me to think that it would actually make more sense to read book 2 before book 1). However, I thought the far-future story set on New Mars was far less interesting and that the novel completely derailed towards the end. I don't think I'll be reading the final two books in the series, which are due to be re-released by Tor as "Divisions" later this year.

This was a good book. I have a greater understanding of Charles Lindberg the American Hero than ever before. I've seen the Spirit of St. Louis at the Smithsonian before. However, now that I've read the book, I'd be interested in seeing it again.

As fellow goodreads friend Lisa said when she recommended this book to me, it's about an Ann Arborite living in NYC and it's also about music - how could I not like it? It was a quick read and thoroughly enjoyable.

More details and free chapters http://gayambassador1.blogspot.com.au/ Winner of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Business Association’s Literary Award 2004 Review extracts “Human stories, like the one in these pages, play a part in advancing understanding and acceptance. It is the story of a quest to find not only self-acceptance but one of the most powerful forces in nature—human love..” — The Hon. Michael Kirby There is scarcely a page that does not engage you personally.………nothing is held back. Some will find Anthony’s story disturbing and confrontational and others will find it liberating and an example of the triumph of the individual human spirit. For those who want to understand human frailty, courage and personal redemption it is an invaluable resource. I highly recommend it. Roger Fedyk, Sydney Morning Herald Margo Kingston’s Webdairy ‘Ultimately, as the theme that emerges is about being true to yourself, ‘A Life of Unlearning’ should be compulsory reading for every man, woman and child in Australia, whether gay or straight, young or old, religious or non-religious.’ Gary Fishlock Editor of SX 2004 In this well written autobiography, Anthony Venn-Brown takes the reader on a remarkable journey ……. a heart felt story of someone attempting to reconcile two disparate, but equally powerful, elements of his life – his sexuality and his faith. Anthony wonderfully invokes growing up in Sydney in the nineteen fifties and his prose really rings true for a first time author. As our exploration of who we truly are always affects those closest to us, and it is their pain that echoes through this book. Through it all, however, we come to see the essential nature of ‘character,’ despite the dramatic changes of scenery along the way. Wellbeing Magazine. A Life of Unlearning is still, in 21st century Australia, a shocking and much-needed work…….it’s an extraordinary life story, and ultimately a positive one…….. Greg Spearritt Sea of Faith in Australia Emails from readers The final chapters of your book broke my heart! I had to put it down almost every paragraph to refocus my puffy red eyes. I had a moment where something inside me wanted not to be broken anymore. For the first time I wasn't convincing myself that I was loved and valued and that everything was ok. I actually knew it. Matt 22 (London) .. it is a superb book...absolutely gripping... I didn’t want it to end.. I found it so profound that I have already promised to buy numerous copies for people’s birthdays!!!…...I know this book will touch lives... Steve (ex Pentecostal minister) It's 6 am and I've just finished reading your book, which I was unable to put down. Thank you so much for writing about your really quite extraordinary life with such vividness and emotional candour, and for the message of hope that underpins it……..Steve from Paddington, Sydney It had me completely spellbound until I finally turned the last page. You have an incredibly amazing story which has given you a privileged insight into identity issues and belief systems….Peter I'm 63... I wept as I read your first chapter. I too, have fought the battle. Your book gives hope to men like me.…George from Canada Your journey has inspired me live more consciously and proudly as a gay man, to do more to help society to accept and celebrate us as gay people. Thank you for such a wonderful and brave book….Adrian 28 The sheer number of people you mentioned that live with guilt, harassment, torment etc was eye opening to me and I am now committed to ensuring an open relationship with my three sons and daughter about their sexuality......Nina USA I would say it is the most valuable book I will ever read.........

I must read this book! Like now! I wrote the above sentence when I first heard of this book, and added it to my "to be read" shelf. Maybe because I was so excited about this book, I was equally so let down. It is not at all what I expected. Of course if you are interested in the history of Kansas, you might love it. I was expecting more of a Glass Castle type of story, but this was not that at all. I thought I would find a kindred spirit with all the moving the author did, but I just couldn't connect with her beyond that. Maybe it is because I would never go looking for home where I came from. Also I was a bit confused as the author was technically born in Colorado, why she honed in on Kansas. There were quite frankly a lot of twists and turns that didn't work for me in this book.

City of Djinns is a masterpiece interweaving a humorous but realistic pen picture of the Delhi in the late 80s with an investigation into the history of Delhi through the ages by the author. From life of Anglo-Indian generals of the Mughals before the East India company to archeology of the Mahabharat, the 1984 riots, Sufism across India, life of eunuchs in today's Delhi, the man investigates so many interesting things. It is one of those books that open a hundred little peepholes in your head that you can keep looking into even after you've finished reading the book.
