Author: Jane Horton
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1435708172
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
What was Silicon Valley like before it was "Silicon Valley?" For both those who recollect the Bay Area in different times, and those who only know it now, this story delights with how things used to be; the orchards, Sunday afternoon drives, and children who explored creeks, neighborhoods and life with intensity and passion. Growing up in Palo Alto in the 1950s and '60s meant a life filled with stories about good and bad guys: Davy Crockett, Communists, Republicans; the Church, and the Mickey Mouse Club. Jane's vivid imagination is both her salvation and her nemesis, and seeing the world through her eyes brings to mind how imagination can triumph in even the most mundane situations. Her story of changing times evokes the hopes, discoveries, joys and disappointments that children confront, and of how some things never change. More than 50 photographs enrich Jane's story, and you may find yourself remembering childhood wonders, joys and confusions as you relax and reflect with the Palo Alto Dreamer.

Get out of Jena
Author: Levi M. Hatcher
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1456822721
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
Get Out Of Jena takes a look into the conditions that makes for racial divides to persist in any modern day American society that refuses to acknowledge the contributions that any race makes to that society. Through the real life experiences of a family from LaSalle Parish, Louisiana- where Jena is the parish seat- we can see how such conditions- when ignored- can create a hostile situation. In North American society we cannot over look the crippling effects of slaverys contribution to these conditions. How it affects economic struggles, attitudes and the pride of a people, on both sides of the color line. Get Out Of Jena does not lay the responsibility to change these conditions on the shoulders of any one race or people. Therefore the adults of both sides contribute to these conditions, either by submission or omission. In the end we will see how it is the youth that pay a bigger price for the arrogance of those conditioned adults. The price they pay for their refusal to acknowledge the importance of all its citizens. The question this book asks is can any of us run away from that responsibility, no matter how large or small we think our responsibility is. And if we do run away, where would we go, and will we ever be called back to deal with the conditions we left behind.

As individuals, we are capable of amazing things—and as such, through our trials and our experience, we become keys to open more opportunities. Explore triumphs and tragedies of God’s people and how their journeys can mirror our own, as we get closer to becoming keys for God’s purpose—or in this case, the Master’s Key.
