Sinopsis

In 'The Holladay Case: A Tale,' Burton Egbert Stevenson crafts a poignant narrative that weaves elements of mystery and legal intricacies into a tapestry reflective of the genre's classic elements. Embedded within the turn-of-the-century American landscape, the book employs a literary style that balances detail-oriented storytelling with the fast-paced rhythm often associated with detective fiction of the era. Stevenson's work harkens back to the formative years of crime storytelling, embodying the spirit of deduction and the meticulous piecing-together of clues that epitomize the genre. As a historical artifact republished by DigiCat Publishing, the novel not only offers a suspenseful plot but also provides readers with a lens into the socio-cultural atmosphere of the period it represents.
Burton Egbert Stevenson, an American author, librarian, and anthologist, brings to 'The Holladay Case: A Tale' a deep understanding of narrative construction and a practiced hand in character development. His career, notably punctuated by his role as a librarian, possibly contributed to his methodical approach to unraveling the novel's mystery, as his exposure to a breadth of literature would have undoubtedly influenced his own writing. The synthesis of Stevenson's literary experience and observations of early 20th-century American life bestows upon the novel a certain authenticity and relatability that transcends time.
For connoisseurs of classic detective stories and those with an appreciation for early American fiction, 'The Holladay Case: A Tale' is a commendable addition to one's literary collection. Stevenson offers an engaging escape into a bygone era where the suspense and allure of the unseen bind pages together. Readers are recommended to delve into this reprinted edition with the respect and vigor fitting for a piece of world literature that so richly demonstrates the enduring appeal of the whodunit narrative.

The Reason I Jump - The Inner...

Naoki Higashida, Keiko Yoshida

You've never read a book like The Reason I Jump. Written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, it is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us can imagine. Parents and family members who never thought they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle, and complex life within. Using an alphabet grid to painstakingly construct words, sentences, and thoughts that he is unable to speak out loud, Naoki answers even the most delicate questions that people want to know. Questions such as: "Why do people with autism talk so loudly and weirdly?" "Why do you line up your toy cars and blocks?" "Why don't you make eye contact when you're talking?"  and "What' s the reason you jump?"  (Naoki's answer: "When I'm jumping, it's as if my feelings are going upward to the sky.")  
With disarming honesty and a generous heart, Naoki shares his unique point of view on not only autism but life itself. His insights-- into the mystery of words, the wonders of laughter, and the elusiveness of memory-- are so startling, so strange, and so powerful that you will never look at the world the same way again.

We Do! - American Leaders Who...

Madeleine M. Kunin, Jennifer...

“The encouraging story of American acceptance of gay marriage and the roles that politicians—gay and straight—have played in that history” (The Philadelphia Tribune). Through speeches, interviews, and commentary, this book chronicles the road toward marriage equality in the United States, edited by former Vermont governor Madeleine Kunin and author and activist Jennifer Baumgardner. “Baumgardner and Kunin have compiled the writings and public pronouncements of public officials and other figures on the issue of marriage equality . . . This book will serve as a resource for what was said about the struggle.” —New York Journal of Books “Detail[s] the politicians out there who are good-hearted, decent and basically worth knowing about.” —Detroit Metro Times “Compiles speeches, interviews and commentary from 1977 through 2013, in which an array of political leaders . . . voice their unconditional support for the queer citizens of the US in their quest for same-sex marriage rights.” —Bay Area Reporter “Highlights the path politicians have taken from Harvey Milk of San Francisco in 1977 until now, to advance the cause of marriage equality.” —Sun News Miami “Powerful . . . As Vermont’s governor, Madeleine Kunin was a leader on gay rights years before it was fashionable and years before our state became the first in the country to allow civil unions and, later, gay marriage without a court order. The struggle for gay rights in Vermont was very difficult, divisive, and acrimonious. If you talk to young people today about gay rights or gay marriage, they ask, What was the big deal? Madeleine and Jennifer Baumgardner remind us what a big deal it was and how important it is.” —Bernie Sanders “The gay marriage movement, like all civil rights movements, began with individuals telling the truth about who they are to a world that doesn’t accept them. It ends with an entire generation of young people who reject blatant civil rights discrimination . . . We Do! triumphantly chronicles this recent chapter.” —New Pages Included on the American Library Association’s Over the Rainbow Project Book List
