The Washingtons. Volume 8
This is the eighth volume of Dr. Justin Glenn’s comprehensive history that traces the “Presidential line” of the Washingtons. Volume one began with the immigrant John Washington, who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and became the great-grandfather of President George Washington. It continued the record of their descendants for a total of seven generations. Volume two highlighted notable members of the next eight generations, including such luminaries as General George S. Patton, the author Shelby Foote, and the actor Lee Marvin. Volume three traced the ancestry of the early Virginia members of this “Presidential Branch” back to the royalty and nobility...
Da He-Man kom til Norge
Første dag etter juleferien i 1985 ble klasse 2A på Lysejordet skole rammet av He-Man-feber. For Ole-Martin Ihle ble verden aldri helt den samme igjen. Med He-Man som utgangspunkt forteller han levende, innsiktsfullt og detaljert om å vokse opp på 1980-tallet. Et utskjelt tiår, bare spør sekstiåttergenerasjonen som måtte se sine barn dyrke alle verdiene de selv hadde gjort opprør mot. 80-tallet var pastellfargete klær, bursdager på McDonald's, movieboxer, actionkomedier og heavy metall-ballader. 80-tallet var USAs tiår - der president Ronald Reagans antiintellektuelle og markedsstyrte syn på verden dominerte. Dette er en annerledes og gjenkjennelig dannelsesfortelling, som forsøker å si noe om tiårets store politiske og kulturelle trender gjennom et vanlig og middels begavet barns oppvekst i et lite borettslag i Oslo. På et dypere plan er det en bok om nostalgi. Som Ally Sheedy sa i 80-tallsfilmen The Breakfast Club: «Når du blir voksen, dør hjertet ditt.» Dette er et forsøk på å finne det igjen.
The Sacred Acre
When tragedy devastated a small town, an unlikely source of inspiration pieced the community back together in this dramatic true story. On a Sunday in May 2008, an F5 tornado hit the town of Parkersburg, Iowa, killing eight people and destroying 250 homes and businesses within a span of 34 seconds. The next day, Parkersburg's beloved football coach, Ed Thomas, made a stunning prediction: "God willing, we will play our first home game here on this field this season." One hundred days later, the home team scored a victory on the field they dubbed the Sacred Acre, serving as a galvanizing point for the town to band together and rebuild. But just as Parkersburg was recovering, another disaster s...
