Book Synopsis Driving Home by : Jonathan Raban
Download or read book Driving Home written by Jonathan Raban. This book was released on 2011-09-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning two decades, this frank, witty, and provocative volume—part essay collection, part diary—charts a course through the Pacific Northwest, American history, and current events as witnessed by “one of our most gifted observers” (Newsday). For more than thirty years, Jonathan Raban has written with infectious fascination about people and places in transition or on the margins, about journeys undertaken and destinations never quite reached, and, as an Englishman transplanted in Seattle, about what it means to feel rooted in America. Stops en route include a Missoula bar, a Tea Party convention in Nashville hosted by Sarah Palin, the Mississippi in full flood, a trip to Hawaii with his daughter, a steelhead river in the Cascades, and the hidden corners of his adopted hometown, Seattle. He deftly explores public and personal spaces, poetry and politics, geography and catastrophe, art and economy, and the shifts in various arenas that define our society. Whether the topic is Robert Lowell or Barack Obama, or how various painters, explorers, and homesteaders have engaged with our mythical and actual landscape, he has an outsider’s eye for the absurd, and his tone is intimate, never nostalgic, and always fresh. Driving Home is irresistibly insightful about America’s character, contradictions, and idiosyncrasies.

Book Synopsis Driving it Home by : Judy Vaknin
Download or read book Driving it Home written by Judy Vaknin. This book was released on 2008. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Car advertising, perhaps more than the advertising for any other product, tells the story of the economic, political and social history of the 20th century. The motor car is a cultural icon that symbolises the economic and technological successes and failures of the era, and reflects society's changing hopes, fears and aspirations. Driving it Home traces the story from horseless carriage to sport utility vehicle, from run-about for the wealthy to a global dependency which threatens the future of our planet. The book contains over 120 original advertisements which illustrate the development of the techniques and methods of car advertising and the fascinating history of a major symbol of 20th-century life."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Driving Home by : Steffany Moonaz
Download or read book Driving Home written by Steffany Moonaz. This book was released on 2024-04-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driving Home is a memoir focused on a single year of the author’s life in which she and her 9-year-old daughter moved in with her dying mother, she suffered a traumatic brain injury resulting from being hit by a semi-truck, and she dealt with the reality of living hours away from her husband and their 5-year-old son. After the main events of the story are told, the implications of the experience are addressed from a variety of different perspectives, exploring the challenges and opportunities it presented. The story is seen through the lens of her identities as a daughter, a mother, a wife, a researcher, a yogi, and a part of the Jewish tradition. With both honesty and optimism, she presents her personal journey through universal themes of responsibility, loss, trauma, striving, connection, and compassion.
