Sinopse

The Immigrant Experience: 5 Classic Books on Immigrant Lives offers an in-depth exploration of the diverse narratives that shape America's immigrant tapestry. This anthology captures the multifaceted nature of immigrant stories, spanning a range of literary styles from memoir to sociological study. Each work featured in the collection serves as a piece of a larger narrative, depicting the complexities of assimilation, identity, and resilience. The diversity of perspectives ensures that the anthology speaks to both the universal and the personal, presenting standout pieces that reveal the nuanced challenges and triumphs of immigrant life. The contributing authors, Edward Alsworth Ross, Broughton Brandenburg, Edward Alfred Steiner, Howard B. Grose, and Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge, bring their exceptional insights to this collection. Each author, with their unique background, contributes richly to the theme. As pioneers and thinkers from the early 20th century, they collectively engaged with the cultural and social undercurrents of their time that shaped the immigrant experience. These works resonate with historical relevance, aligning with significant movements such as progressivism and the human rights advocacy that marred and shaped their era's discourse. Readers are invited to move beyond singular narratives to understand the immigrant experience's vast landscape through this anthology. The collection’s diversity of perspectives provides an invaluable opportunity to situate oneself amid different worlds and eras. Readers seeking to enhance their understanding of the multifaceted immigrant story will find this collection both educational and thought-provoking, as it seeks to foster a dialogue that is as enduring as it is inclusive.

  • The World of Juliet Kinzie - Chicago before the Fire - cover

    The World of Juliet Kinzie -...

    When Juliette Kinzie first visited Chicago in 1831, it was anything but a city. An outpost in the shadow of Fort Dearborn, it had no streets, no sidewalks, no schools, no river-spanning bridges. And with two hundred disconnected residents, it lacked any sense of community. In the decades that followed, not only did Juliette witness the city’s transition from Indian country to industrial center, but she was instrumental in its development. 
     
    Juliette is one of Chicago’s forgotten founders. Early Chicago is often presented as “a man’s city,” but women like Juliette worked to create an urban and urbane world, often within their own parlors. With The World of Juliette Kinzie, we finally get to experience the rise of Chicago from the view of one of its most important founding mothers. 
     
    Ann Durkin Keating offers a moving portrait of a trailblazing and complicated woman. Keating takes us to the corner of Cass and Michigan (now Wabash and Hubbard), Juliette’s home base. Through Juliette’s eyes, our understanding of early Chicago expands from a city of boosters and speculators to include the world that women created in and between households. We see the development of Chicago society, first inspired by cities in the East and later coming into its own midwestern ways. We also see the city become a community, as it developed its intertwined religious, social, educational, and cultural institutions. Keating draws on a wealth of sources, including hundreds of Juliette’s personal letters, allowing Juliette to tell much of her story in her own words. 
     
    The World of Juliette Kinzie offers a new perspective on Chicago’s past and is a fitting tribute to one of the first women historians in the United States.

    A Grumpy Silver Fox Actor + His Bookworm Boyfriend + A Sunshine Fake Fiancée = A Tabloid-licious Trio 
    I'm too old for this s***. 
    As Hollywood's favorite leading man, I'm slated for a full week of non-stop cons, interviews, and hotel-hopping to promote my latest movie. I've got jetlag just thinking about it. 
    I want to be in my own bed, in my own house, with my own boyfriend. 
    Nico and I have been dating for years. But no one knows. We live--and love--in the closet. 
    Hollywood. Politics. Paparazzi. It's all one big show. 
    As if that isn't enough, my agent has set me up with a fake fiancée for the PR circus. 
    Only my "fiancée" turns out to be Nico's "more-than-friends" friend from college. 
    And when the three of us are together...there's a chemistry I can't ignore. 
    Note from the author: This is an over the top, quick and filthy unconventional romance with a lot of m/m scenes as well as mmf scenes. Enclosed are power plays, older man + younger man/woman, and enough steamy scenes to keep you up all night…

    Celebrated leadership expert and political scientist Gautam Mukunda provides a comprehensive, objective, and non-partisan method for answering the most important question in the world: is someone up to the job of president of the United States? 
     
     
      
    In Picking Presidents, Gautam Mukunda sets his sights on presidential candidates, proposing a tested method to assess whether they will succeed or fail if they win the White House. Combining political science, psychology, organizational behavior, and economics, Picking Presidents will enable every American to cast an informed vote. 
     
     
      
    In his 2012 book Indispensable, which all but predicted the Trump presidency, Mukunda explained how both the very best and very worst leaders are "unfiltered"—outsiders who take power without the understanding or support of traditional elites. Picking Presidents provides deep analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike, from failed haberdasher and skillful president Harry Truman, to the exceptionally well-qualified—and ultimately reviled—James Buchanan; from Andrew Johnson, who set civil rights back by a century, to Theodore Roosevelt, who evaded party opposition to transform American society. Picking Presidents lays out a clear framework that anyone can use to judge a candidate and answer the all-important question: are they up to the job?

    The history and use of New Zealand's native plants 
      
    A guide and gift book in equal measure, this treasure of a book pays homage to New Zealand's native plant species. 
    The Meaning of Trees tells the story of plants and people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Beautifully illustrated with botanical drawings, paintings and photographs, it shows us how a globally unique flora has been used for food, medicine, shelter, spirituality and science. From Jurassic giants to botanical oddballs - these are our wonderful native and endemic plants, in an exquisite hardback edition. 
    Praise for The Meaning of Trees: 
    'Robert Vennell makes wandering through our bush seem like a visit to a giant shopping centre. Over there is the kawakawa store, offering everything from an aphrodisiac to a gonorrhoea cure. Next door is the tutu cafe, where you can enjoy delicious wine or a refreshing laxative (though the seeds are deadly). On the top floor is the matai bar, where the berries aren't to everyone's taste, but the bushman's beer is great. And round the corner is the miro health centre. Every plant has a story and the result is delightfully informative.'
