Download or read book A Bygone Yesterday: a Family Story written by Lawrence Freund. This book was released on 2014-10-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Bygone Yesterday is a remembrance written by a grandson of Samuel and Louise Freund, detailing their roots in 19th century Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) and their shoots in the New World, from New York Citys Yorkville neighborhood to Chicago and Florida. It is the history of one couple that stepped aboard a train in Central Europe on a spring day in 1891 and began a journey that would transform their lives and the lives of their descendants. Yet, at the same time, the books broad scope creates a biographical collage, putting flesh on a broad sweep of history. A Bygone Yesterday explores the lives of Samuel and Louise Freund, their ancestors, descendants and kinfolk, as well as the social and historic context of the times in which they lived, touching on, among other things, the restrictive and discriminatory family laws of 19th century Bohemia, early 20th century life in the Yorkville enclave of New York City, the tragedy of the Holocaust and the ultimate triumph of a warm and embracing family life.

Book Synopsis Yesterday's Demon by : Elizabeth Myles

Download or read book Yesterday's Demon written by Elizabeth Myles. This book was released on 2020-08-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Can yesterday’s demon be the hero of today?” **Yesterday’s Demon is book 3 in the Sharpest Kiss series, but it can be read as a stand-alone story.** She’s got a talking dog, a magic rock, a supernatural mystery to solve, and a hot friend determined to make her his. Can an ex-vampire girl find love and redemption after more than nine centuries of iniquity…or will her dark secret doom everything she’s ever longed for? Marta has a big secret. She may look like a teenager, but she’s really almost a thousand years old. For centuries, she existed as a vampire, but now she’s just a normal human girl again, stripped of all her supernatural powers and many of her memories. But whether she remembers it or not, she knows she used to be a monster. She did a lot of horrible things in her past. She’s determined to spend what’s left of her human life trying to make amends by helping other people in trouble, especially in cases where her knowledge of the paranormal might come in handy. When her friend Harris calls on her, asking for her help finding his college roommate’s missing sister, Marta agrees to open an investigation. Dark magic might be involved in the young girl’s disappearance, but Marta’s confident she can unravel the case; she knows a few spells herself, and she’s got an enchanted talking dog and a psychic stone to help her out. What worries her most is the brand-new set of human hormones raging through her system, making it next to impossible to keep things with Harris strictly platonic. Marta may have made the mistake of locking lips with Harris once or twice before, but she knows it would be wrong to ever let it happen again—and certainly to take things any further than that. Her past is just too ugly, and her new life is too bizarre and dangerous. Harris is better off staying far away from her. If only he didn’t seem so intent on doing just the opposite. And if only his piercing green eyes and sultry kisses weren’t so incredibly irresistible… MORE ABOUT THE BOOK: Yesterday’s Demon is a complete novel of 90,000 words. It is narrated in third person from Marta’s point of view. It is Book 3 in the Sharpest Kiss series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story. If you would prefer to read the other books first, the order is: #1: The Sharpest Kiss (Lucy and Aaron) #2: Back to Bite You (Jessica and Nathan) #3: Yesterday’s Demon (Marta and Harris) Reader advisory: Yesterday’s Demon is a kisses-only romance. It contains mild cursing and mild sensuality.

Book Synopsis Yesterday's Man by : Branko Marcetic

Download or read book Yesterday's Man written by Branko Marcetic. This book was released on 2020-02-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deep dive into Joe Biden’s history and the origins of his political values Yesterday’s Man exposes the forgotten history of Joe Biden, one of the United States’s longest-serving politicians, and one of its least scrutinized. Over nearly fifty years in politics, the man called “Middle-Class Joe” served as a key architect of the Democratic Party’s rightward turn, ushering in the end of the liberal New Deal order and enabling the political takeover of the radical right. Far from being a liberal stalwart, Biden often outdid even Reagan, Gingrich, and Bush, assisting the right-wing war against the working class, and ultimately paving the way for Trump. The most comprehensive political biography of someone who has tried for decades to be president, Yesterday’s Man is an essential read for anyone interested in knowing the real Joe Biden and what he might do in office.

Book Synopsis Yesterday's Buses by : Cliff Marsh

Download or read book Yesterday's Buses written by Cliff Marsh. This book was released on 2020-04-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A colorfully illustrated history of buses in postwar England. AEC, Bristol, Crossley, Daimler, Dennis, Leyland, and others were all manufacturers of passenger vehicle chassis that could be seen throughout England in the years following the end of World War Two. They produced a wide range of double deck and single deck buses and coaches, bodied by a considerable number of body builders. With the exception of Dennis, all those chassis makers have now disappeared, along with nearly all the body builders. In addition, most operators of this variety of vehicles are no longer in existence, being primarily absorbed into larger operations. This book can give only a small indication of the major role lifelong bus enthusiast Steve Morris and his Quantock Heritage fleet have played in preserving not only part of the engineering history of the country, but its effect also on social history. In practical terms he has displayed this by enabling the general public to see, enjoy, and also use vehicles of a bygone era.
