Описание: In this ';revelation' of a biography (USA TODAY), a Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist examines the life and times of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, arguing she left behind the Kennedy family's most profound political legacy.
While Joe Kennedy was grooming his sons for the White House and the Senate, his Stanford-educated daughter, Eunice, was hijacking her father's fortune and her brothers' political power to engineer one of the great civil rights movements of our time on behalf of millions of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Her compassion was born of rage: at the medical establishment that had no answers for her sister Rosemary, at her revered but dismissive father, whose vision for his family did not extend beyond his sons, and at a government that failed to deliver on America's promise of equality.
Now, in this ';fascinating' (the Today show), ';nuanced' (The Boston Globe) biography, ';ace reporter and artful storyteller' (Pulitzer Prizewinning author Megan Marshall) Eileen McNamara finally brings Eunice Kennedy Shriver out from her brothers' shadow. Granted access to never-before-seen private papers, including the scrapbooks Eunice kept as a schoolgirl in prewar London, McNamara paints an extraordinary portrait of a woman both ahead of her time and out of step with it: the visionary founder of Special Olympics, a devout Catholic in a secular age, and an officious, cigar-smoking, indefatigable woman whose impact on American society was longer lasting than that of any of the Kennedy men.
Twenty-two chilling tales recommended by critics of supernatural fiction
Anthologies of ghost stories are perennially popular. Sometimes the raison d'etre for a collection might be that the stories embrace a particular theme or that the fame or authority of the compiler imbues a special appeal or credibility. However, it occurred to the Leonaur editors that the principal concern of anyone buying such an anthology must surely be that the stories included will be of the highest order as examples of originally plotted fine writing, guaranteed to deliver the required thrills and chills. In consideration of how that outcome might best be achieved and offered to readers we decided to research as many lists of 'the best ghost stories' as we could find, compiled by critics, informed journalists and authorities of supernatural fiction, to determine which stories those people--based on as much consensus as possible--believed were, indeed, the finest ghostly tales written during the 'golden age' of the genre. Sometimes their lists included well-known stories that would be familiar to most ghost story enthusiasts, so these were removed from consideration. What remained were 42 stories which had received deservedly high praise and these we have divided between two Leonaur volumes. These collections are also available as Leonaur 'Christmas Books' since they make ideal gifts, but are here offered in the familiar Leonaur 'Supernatural and Weird Fiction' cover for both a general readership and series collectors.
In volume two can be found the anonymous story 'Pichon & Sons of the Croix Rousse', 'The Story of Mary Ancel' by William Makepeace Thackeray, 'At Crighton Abbey' by Mary Braddon, 'The Miniature' by J. Y. Akerton, 'The Tapestried Chamber' by Sir Walter Scott and sixteen other creepy tales.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
2022 PROSE Awards Category Winner - Biography & Autobiography Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards - 2021 BRONZE Winner for Biography The fascinating biography of Eunice Hunton Carter, a social justice and civil rights trailblazer and the only woman prosecutor on the Luciano trial
Eunice Hunton Carter rose to public prominence in 1936 as both the only woman and the only person of color on Thomas Dewey’s famous gangbuster team that prosecuted mobster Lucky Luciano. But her life before and after the trial remains relatively unknown. In this definitive biography on this trailblazing social justice activist, authors Marilyn S. Greenwald and Yun Li tell the story of this unknown but critical pioneer in the struggle for racial and gender equality in the twentieth century.
Carter worked harder than most men because of her race and gender, and Greenwald and Li reflect on her lifelong commitment to her adopted home of Harlem, where she was viewed as a role model, arts patron, community organizer, and, later, as a legal advisor to the United Nations, the National Council of Negro Women, and several other national and global organizations.
Carter was both a witness to and a participant in many pivotal events of the early and mid– twentieth century, including the Harlem riot of 1935 and the social scene during the Harlem Renaissance.
Using transcripts, letters, and other primary and secondary sources from several archives in the United States and Canada, the authors paint a colorful portrait of how Eunice continued the legacy of the Carter family, which valued education, perseverance, and hard work: a grandfather who was a slave who bought his freedom and became a successful businessman in a small colony of former slaves in Ontario, Canada; a father who nearly single-handedly integrated the nation’s YMCAs in the Jim Crow South; and a mother who provided aid to Black soldiers in France during World War I and who became a leader in several global and domestic racial equality causes.
Carter’s inspirational multi-decade career working in an environment of bias, segregation, and patriarchy in Depression-era America helped pave the way for those who came after her.

"In this book, Bishop and Pastor Woodard have captured the essence of how one may discover his or her God-giving purpose by allowing their life's journey to be transparent. Reading and reflecting upon their journey, one is able to see woven throughout their lives how God has been active, present, and working through them."
"This book is a must read as it gives a real-life model with practical examples that clearly show how we can come to grips with who we are and why God has placed each of us on this planet. Readers may expect to come away encouraged, inspired, but most of all, instructed on who to answer the age-old question of life, "Why am I here?"
"I offer my gratitude to the Woodards for their willingness to once again pour their lives out as an offering unto God so that others may be blessed. It is my prayer that those who read their work will embrace and live out their God-given purpose to the fullest."

Описание: Another brilliant collection of tales from beyond the veil Tales of ghosts and horror can be found in every age, country and culture on earth; they have been passed down orally for millennia and in written form have existed for almost as long as literature itself. Although there have been notable novels of spine chilling hauntings there can be little doubt that the ghost story is a form ideally suited to short stories or novellas. The story that frightens can be explicitly so, with screaming phantoms, a morality tale or humorous, it can be subtly menacing with creeping horror, and can be set almost anywhere. Such stories have never waned in their popularity with the reading public and it is for this reason that so many authors have applied their talents to creating them. Essentially we love to be thrilled and chilled simultaneously. Some of the finest exponents of the ghost story have been specialists who became masters of the genre, while others wrote scary stories to the same high standard as all their work. In the middle of the 19th century the appetite for tales of terror burgeoned and a golden age was born that lasted until the outbreak of Great War. It is probably fair to say that the finest works of the genre were created during this period and it is principally from those that the twenty-nine stories in this substantial anthology have been drawn. This bumper collection of some of the best stories of the ghostly and horrific has been gathered together by Eunice Hetherington. In 'The Second Leonaur Book of Great Ghost and Horror Stories are 'The Yellow Cat' by Wilbur Steele, 'A Witches Den' by Mme Helena Blavatsky, 'The Box With Iron Clamps' by Florence Marryat, 'The Clavecin, Bruges' by George Wharton Edwards, 'The Lost Room' by Fitz-James O'Brien, 'The Sin Eater' by Fiona MacLeod and many more fine tales of the chilling and weird. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
