Lost to Time
Author: Martin W. Sandler
Publisher: Union Square + ORM
ISBN: 1402781520
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
“A splendid book, full of fascinating, well-told tales . . . a diverse and bafflingly overlooked collection of historical curiosities” (Booklist, starred review). “The only thing new in the world,” said Harry S. Truman, “is the history you don’t know.” In this fresh and fascinating collection of historical vignettes, National Book Award–winning author Martin W. Sandler restores to memory important events, people, and developments that have been lost to time. Though barely known today, these are major historical stories, from Ziryab, an eighth-century black slave whose influence on music, cuisine, fashion, and manners still reverberates, to Cahokia, a twelfth-century city north of the Rio Grande, which at its zenith contained a population estimated to have been as high as 40,000 (more than any contemporary European city), to the worst peacetime maritime disaster ever, the explosion and sinking of the Sultana on the Mississippi in 1865. These tales are far from trivia; they illuminate little-known American and foreign achievements, ingenuity, heroics, blunders, and tragedies that changed the course of history and resonate today. “A very compelling collection of accounts about things not even mentioned in textbooks . . . People who love to read history will enjoy [Lost to Time].” —Digital Journal

Book Description
"After an embarrassing stint on a reality TV music competition years ago, Riley Parks vowed never to sing again. Now she's working at the prestigious Sound Sync recording studio, and life is looking up. But then Garrett Jamieson, the oldest brother in the famous Jamieson brothers band, crashes into her world. Garrett has hit rock bottom, and after calling in a few favors, he ends up working at the Sound Sync studio to learn the ropes of record producing. And he can't believe his luck when he discovers that Riley is an amazing singer. But Garrett is forced to use every trick in his arsenal to persuade Riley to record. Riley refuses to sing--or even entertain the thought of it--and sparks fly as Garrett finally meets his match. But in the heat of the moment, one stolen kiss changes everything. Will Riley be the first person to finally rein Garrett in, or will Garrett succeed in getting Riley back under the spotlight?--Page [4] of cover.
