Remaining in El Paso, the WOMEN were obliged to LIVE IN CRAMPED BOXCARS WITH THEIR CHILDREN and to SEEK WORK AS DOMESTICS.
Later, her father found a better paying job in the MEAT-PACKING PLANTS OF KANSAS CITY.
Fatefully, the Chavezes were then RECRUITED TO SCOTTSBLUFF, NEBRASKA where the ENTIRE FAMILY - some as young as five years old - LABORED IN THE SUGAR-BEET AND POTATO FIELDS.

Описание: The Mistress of the Dark lands the leading role in a touching art film about human/gill monster romance, but there's something decidedly fishy about her costar. Is there an Oscar(tm) in her future, or is director Billy Bullworth interesting in spawning something more than an Academy Award-winning movie?

Описание: In September of 1926, the Compass Rose set sail from the port of Cleveland, carrying an unlikely crew consisting of a last-minute, rather unique collection of characters.

After enduring the storm, the crew aboard the Compass Rose begins on what they believe is their journey back home. Or so they think.
Автор: Elvira King Название: The Pro-Israel Lobby in Europe: The Politics of Religion and Christian Zionism in the European Union ISBN: 178453238X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781784532383 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 137280.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The activities of pro-Israel pressure groups and lobbyists in the US are well-known. But the pro-Israel lobby in Europe is less prominent in both academic and media accounts. In a unique account, Elvira King identifies the pro-Israeli groups which attempt to influence policy-makers and implementers in the EU, specifically examining Christian Zionist groups. Through a detailed study of the European Coalition for Israel (ECI), the only Christian Zionist lobby in Brussels, Elvira King analyses whether and how a religious group can (and can fail to) influence decision-makers in the EU. By exploring the context of European relations with Israel as well as the mechanisms through which pressure groups are able to influence EU-wide policies, King offers an analysis which demonstrates how the EU can be a site where religion and politics meet, rather than just being a secular institution. It therefore contains vital primary research for both those interested in the pro-Israel lobby as well as those examining the role of religion in politics more generally.

Описание: The debut US poetry collection from social media star Elvira Sastre, exploring the sharp, slippery moments that turn a beloved relationship into something self-destructive.Counting the days that pass after a devastating breakup, Elvira Sastre confronts the haunting questions that surround every failed relationship: What happened? Where did it all go wrong? How did it all fall apart? With a bold, lyrical voice poised on the knife's edge of romance and grief, Sastre evokes the heady rush of first love and the sorrow of its painful end--even as she learns to pick up the pieces and move on after the worst has happened. At once deeply personal and universally resonant, painful and resoundingly hopeful, One Day I Will Save Myself speaks to the poet in all of us. An intimate journey through loving, losing, and living that inspires readers to begin their own healing and is perfect for fans of Rupi Kaur, r.h. Sin, and Atticus.

Описание: Excerpt from Songs of the Heart He came like a whirlwind, almost outrun ning the breath of winter which: had slipped in at his heels. He at once gathered them around him these three men - and held them, and infinitely charmed them with his wonderful flow of more wonderful talk The sparks from the forge of his genius flew upward and about, fast and furious. He was fresh from his desk, where he had spent the early hours of the night. On the morrow the world would read, breathless, what he had written. A word from his magic pen, and matters of State are made or broken. There he was among them - his more seri ous work thrown aside. He was ripe for a full and free communion with the souls of men who could appreciate and understand him. Need his name be told? Is he not the Saul in Israel, head and shoulders above his breth ren? Is he not a man brilliant, powerful, and full of peculiar genius? In short, is he not our own Henry Watterson?
