From My Century to Yours
I have lived all but one year of a century. My century started on March 23, 1920, and upon reflection, I believe it has seen more important changes and developments both good and bad than occurred in any other ten centuries of human existence. As world leaders and historians have always told us, in determining what we should expect and do in the future, we must be aware of the events and occurrences of the past that collectively determined how we got where we are today. In this story of my life, I will explain some of the history I remember that explains just how we got here. Except for specific dates, which I secured from the World Almanac, this dissertation comes entirely from my own memory. "Neal Smith - farmer, soldier, lawyer, politician - is a state treasure. He has long worked to preserve Iowa's past, protect Iowa's present and promote Iowa's future. At age 98, he is a walking history book as well as a profound thinker about the future of Iowa, the nation and the world, which this new memoir shows." Michael Gartner Pulitzer Prize winning writer and former president of NBC News
Blue Truth /Liberal Lies
The police see everything-the best and worst of humanity, from accidental tragedy to psychopathic crime. As part of Macon, Georgia Law enforcement from the 1970s through 2016, Sergeant John Neal Smith experienced it all. This memoir is a first-hand account of the realities that most citizens never see, from shooting a rock star he grew up with to a high-speed kidnapping chase that set the freeway on fire. These hard-hitting, honest stories about police who are victims of racism and of public misperception will change the way you see cops. Gripping, real, and compelling, this is a book you won't be able to put down.
The New Urban Frontier
Why have so many central and inner cities in Europe, North America and Australia been so radically revamped in the last three decades, converting urban decay into new chic? Will the process continue in the twenty-first century or has it ended? What does this mean for the people who live there? Can they do anything about it? This book challenges conventional wisdom, which holds gentrification to be the simple outcome of new middle-class tastes and a demand for urban living. It reveals gentrification as part of a much larger shift in the political economy and culture of the late twentieth century. Documenting in gritty detail the conflicts that gentrification brings to the new urban 'frontiers', the author explores the interconnections of urban policy, patterns of investment, eviction, and homelessness. The failure of liberal urban policy and the end of the 1980s financial boom have made the end-of-the-century city a darker and more dangerous place. Public policy and the private market are conspiring against minorities, working people, the poor, and the homeless as never before. In the emerging revanchist city, gentrification has become part of this policy of revenge.
Bringing Friends and Family Back Around the Table
I am on a God-driven journey. My culinary journey began with my family, from my wonderful grandmothers, whose kitchen traditions were carried down through both of my parents. A family vacation to the East Coast set a picture in my mind of the place that would take all my talents, aspirations, and dreams, and--with a wink and a little kick from God--turn them into this wonderful life I am celebrating.
Nineteenth-century Germans to America
Although the source and scope of the information in this work vary, for the most part the entries include the passenger's name, place of origin, number of persons traveling with the passenger, and year of departure. Many also contain more detail, providing the immigrant's age, occupation, next of kin, sponsors, and date of birth, as well as the name of ship and date of departure.
Invest with as Little as $100
Invest With As Little As $100, which I also call "Clarence," has been written for the person who wants to invest their hard earned money, but do not know how the various investment vehicles work. Throughout the years, people have been relying on "investment professionals" such as stockbrokers and financial planners to tell them how to invest their money. However, most of those professionals know as much about how investments work as a Kentucky Derby jockey knows about piloting the space shuttle. They are mere sales people who happened to pass a test about securities rules and regulations (not strategy) with a score of at least 70%. Clarence is designed to empower the reader by describing all...
British and German Deserters, Discharges, and Prisoners of War Who May Have Remained in Canada and the United States, 1774-1783
According to 18th-century immigration authority Clifford Neal Smith, the vast majority of German and English soldiers who, for one reason or another, became separated from their Revolutionary War units, ended up settling within a few miles of their discharge, desertion, or capture (POWs). Mr. Smith drew his conclusion from a careful examination of muster rolls from 1774 to 1783, as found in the Public Record Office in London. This consolidated work, which is based on those records, identifies several thousand soldiers who fall into this category. The records are arranged by regiment and thereunder alphabetically by surname. For each soldier, the author has transcribed his full name, status (deserter, dischargee, or prisoner of war), a date, and the source of the information. For the overwhelming majority of these individuals, these records may be the sole clue that links them from America to their European homelan
Dearest Beloved
The marriage of Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne—for their contemporaries a model of true love and married happiness—was also a scene of revulsion and combat. T. Walter Herbert reveals the tragic conflicts beneath the Hawthorne's ideal of domestic fulfillment and shows how their marriage reflected the tensions within nineteenth-century society. In so doing, he sheds new light on Hawthorne's fiction, with its obsessive themes of guilt and grief, balked feminism and homosexual seduction, adultery, patricide, and incest.
