The Spirits of America
Author: Eric Burns
Publisher: Temple University Press
ISBN: 9781592137695
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
In The spirits of America, Burns relates that drinking was "the first national pastime," and shows how it shaped American politics and culture from the earliest colonial days. He details the transformation of alcohol from virtue to vice and back again and how it was thought of as both scourge and medicine. He tells us how "the great American thirst" developed over the centuries, and how reform movements and laws sprang up to combat it. Burns brings back to life such vivid characters as Carrie Nation and other crusaders against drink. He informs us that, in the final analysis, Prohibition, the culmination of the reformers' quest, had as much to do with politics and economics and geography as it did with spirituous beverage.

Pages : 197
Book Description
Aggie Lantana has a plan. It is to shake the ill-fated roots of her Midwest life and replant herself to thrive in a large city. More than a geographic solution, she reinvents herself simply as Lantana. As sometimes happens, good intentions go awry. Suddenly she finds herself a suspect in a double-death case that has occurred at Table Five, the focal point of a prestigious restaurant. This is not part of her long-term strategy. Murder or suicide is a mystery yet to be determined. The FBI, IRS, and a persistent police detective are relentless in their investigation. But the case becomes secondary as Lantana faces even greater danger from a money-hungry cast of kinky characters and ruthless murderers lurking around each corner. Bizarre events continue as Lantana discovers shes involved in an international diamond smuggling ringand that people closest to her may be involved in this nefarious circle. As the murder/suicide case unfolds, Lantana is further implicated in more serious crimes. Her heartland wisdom quickly becomes street-smart savvy as gently curving country roads turn into abrupt twists and turns in the back alleys of upstate New York, ultimately forcing her to travel internationally to unravel this plot. Wary of her situation, Lantana begins to think it might have been wiser to have remained Aggie, a farm girl from Nebraska. It certainly would have been safer.

Return to Life
Author: Jim B. Tucker, M.D.
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250020867
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Dr. Tucker, in a follow-up to his book Life Before Life, explores American cases of young children who report memories of previous lives in the New York Times bestseller, Return to Life. A first-person account of Jim Tucker's experiences with a number of extraordinary children with memories of past lives, Return to Life focuses mostly on American cases, presenting each family's story and describing his investigation. His goal is to determine what happened—what the child has said, how the parents have reacted, whether the child's statements match the life of a particular deceased person, and whether the child could have learned such information through normal means. Tucker has found cases that provide persuasive evidence that some children do, in fact, possess memories of previous lives. Among others, readers will meet a boy who describes a previous life on a small island. When Tucker takes him to that island, he finds that some details eerily match the boy's statements and some do not. Another boy points to a photograph from the 1930s and says he used to be one of the men in it. Once the laborious efforts to identify that man are successful, many of the child's numerous memories are found to match the details of his life. Soon after his second birthday, a third boy begins expressing memories of being a World War II pilot who is eventually identified. Thought-provoking and captivating, Return to Life urges its readers to think about life and death and reincarnation, and reflect about their own consciousness and spirituality.

Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
He's a brilliant NHL defenseman, a fearless, tattooed rebel, and the unpredictable bad boy of the Atlanta Siege. Sebastian "Bass" Bell has never met a bet he wouldn't make. That's partly why he's riding out a probationary rap from Siege management. One more screw-up and he'll be bounced down to the minors or dropped from the team, sending him out of the city he loves and costing him the chance at postseason redemption. But a guy like Bass can only resist temptation for so long, and his teammates keep offering up sucker bets. Get a terrible tattoo for ten thousand bucks? Sure. Get another piercing for a weekend with a Bugatti? Why not? Marry the team's anthem singer on a wild weekend in Vegas? Whoops. Now if he doesn't want management finding out his marriage is just an alcohol-induced bet gone wrong, he'll have to convince his new wife to stick it out for a while and make it look legit. Here's hoping Lady Luck is on his side. She's an impetuous beauty, a gifted singer-songwriter, and The Siege's lucky charm. Emma Chastain is ready to do whatever it takes to make it big in the music industry. That's why she jumped at the chance to become the Atlanta Siege's dedicated anthem singer. With the team's stellar P.R. boosting her views and followers, she's on the way to making all her dreams come true. So when she's asked to travel with the team to Vegas, she goes all-in. Sing for a packed arena of rabid hockey fans? Sure. Party with a bunch of sexy-as-sin hockey players? Hell, yeah. Strike a bargain with the charming scoundrel she married on a dare and lie to the entire world? Whoops. It starts as a phony romance meant to save their careers. How it all ends will depend on whether they're willing to up the stakes and risk losing their hearts. Game on.
