Book Description
Beyond The Chair is a space adventure where young Bradley becomes an astronaut at age six. Bradley is convinced that his best friend, Tommy Sullivan, will never believe it. Well, he is having a hard time believing it himself; and more particularly that he is a vital part of the three-man crew É well, the one man, one woman and one kid crew. But with his inquiring mind (there is no end to his questions) and given his delight in all things "space," Bradley is having the time of his life. At first he worried about things like going to the bathroom in space and whether or not there were dead men in space that would float by his window, but when he was informed that there was no way he would be required to take a bath or shower in space, he was in seventh heaven É literally.

Beyond the Horizon
Author: J. Winfield Currie
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1450080111
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
Enjoy the ongoing saga of Jason and Kathryn Tarrington. From awakening passion in Beyond All Reason, to a desperate struggle for survival in Beyond All Odds, to the search for a new life beckoning from the unknowable wilderness Beyond the Horizon. Charleston, SC early 1782. Although Lord Cornwallis had surrendered at Yorktown, British troops remained in both Charleston and Savannah. American General Nathanael Greene lingered nearby, refusing to leave until a valid signed peace treaty was presented. Just arrived from England, Kathryn and Jason encounter an atmosphere rife with tension. Although the war may have been declared over, the reality is quite different. To a proud city, still struggling to forget past humiliation suffered under his Lordship, ongoing British presence is a painful reminder; neither have they forgiven Colonel Jason Tarrington and his wife. The Tarringtons must not be recognized, for they have a difficult mission to accomplish: rescue Kathryns nephew, a former rebel militia officer. Held for several months by British contingencies, and as equally well-known as they, his rescue will be extremely dangerous. Once accomplished, they intend to put the war behind them and begin a new life with their family. But neither side will react well to Gabriels rescue or the fact that the notorious Tarringtons still live. For now, Charleston holds only danger. Where can they safely start over? The tentative answer appears to lie in the wilderness Beyond the Horizon. For in the vast, pristine forests of the Carolinas, incredible possibilities exist for the taking. Danger constantly lurks and ones life is often in peril at the hands of devious strangers, former dragoon comrades, even family. An unexpected opportunity will present itself, one that renews old acquaintances and introduces new ones. In this emotional blockbuster there will be shared joys and sorrows as life moves on and an ending you will never forget.

The Chair: Volume III
Author: Robert McKenzie
Publisher: Fresh Ink Group
ISBN: 1958922064
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 738
Book Description
A grand epic saga by Robert McKenzie, The Chair series spans centuries, touching the lives of 22 generations of related mothers and daughters, their stories witnessed by a simple pine chair. Resolute, strong, loving, and fiercely protective, these women must strive to pass their values to new generations in a world of racism and sexism, politics, scandal, fashion—even the rise and dominance of baseball. They live in privilege and poverty, with faith and despair, relishing every moment of love even as they suffer abiding grief. In Volume III: Seven, Eight, & Nine, the chair flashes back to pre-Civil War America, featuring a woman from the second Mayflower, her daughter the black-market Irish lace importer, and a Canadian World War I fighter pilot. A blend of history and philosophy told through satire and parody, the story of The Chair could be found in some old trunk in any dusty old attic, but McKenzie breathes it alive with riveting tales that span the real and the imagined.

Now I Sit Me Down
Author: Witold Rybczynski
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374713359
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Have you ever wondered where rocking chairs came from, or why cheap plastic chairs are suddenly everywhere? In Now I Sit Me Down, the distinguished architect and writer Witold Rybczynski chronicles the history of the chair from the folding stools of pharaonic Egypt to the ubiquitous stackable monobloc chairs of today. He tells the stories of the inventor of the bentwood chair, Michael Thonet, and of the creators of the first molded-plywood chair, Charles and Ray Eames. He reveals the history of chairs to be a social history--of different ways of sitting, of changing manners and attitudes, and of varying tastes. The history of chairs is the history of who we are. We learn how the ancient Chinese switched from sitting on the floor to sitting in a chair, and how the iconic chair of Middle America--the Barcalounger--traces its roots back to the Bauhaus. Rybczynski weaves a rich tapestry that draws on art and design history, personal experience, and historical accounts. And he pairs these stories with his own delightful hand-drawn illustrations: colonial rockers and English cabrioles, languorous chaise longues, and no-nonsense ergonomic task chairs--they're all here. The famous Danish furniture designer Hans Wegner once remarked, "A chair is only finished when someone sits in it." As Rybczynski tells it, the way we choose to sit and what we choose to sit on speak volumes about our values, our tastes, and the things we hold dear.
