As nighttime falls all types of fathers--fish, rabbits, snails, pigs, and a boy's father--make their way home to their families.

A WALL STREET JOURNAL SUMMER PICK A WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER Warrior and writer, genius and crank, rider in the British cavalry’s last great charge and inventor of the tank, Winston Churchill led Britain to fight alone against Nazi Germany in the fateful year of 1940 and set the standard for leading a democracy at war. With penetrating insight and vivid anecdotes, Gretchen Rubin makes Churchill accessible and meaningful to twenty-first-century readers by analyzing the many contrasting views of the man: he was an alcoholic, he was not; he was an anachronism, he was a visionary; he was a racist, he was a humanitarian; he was the most quotable man in the history of the English language, he was a bore. Like no other portrait of its famous subject, Forty Ways to Look at Winston Churchill is a dazzling display of facts more improbable than fiction. It brings to full realization the depiction of a man too fabulous for any novelist to construct, too complex for even the longest narrative to describe, and too significant ever to be forgotten.

Fatherhood is, by nature, the basis of every relationship with males in a persons life. For boys, a father is the hero through whom they learn about manhood. For girls, a father is the model of man they are going to look up to when they choose a husband. Too often, many children deal with the problem of absentee fathers and a lack of suitable role models. In When is Daddy Coming?, author Ofelia Perez shares how parents can help their children and break the cycle of fatherlessness. She: discusses the social and individual roots of the problem; offers useful and down-to-earth forms of avoiding and solving for everyone: dads, married moms and dads, and divorced couples; conveys the message of dealing with the situation individually, but asserts there is responsibility of the church and judicial system; and aims to help fathers feel proud of being fathers and helps mothers to take steps for balance. When is Daddy Coming? maintains that men must take charge of fatherhood with all its rewards and responsibilities. They must train themselves and make themselves savvy about the matter so families can be saved.

In this book there's life, love, heartache, humor, bronc riding, horse races complete from the starting gates to the finish line, and so much more. Every page is a different adventure. I even put in Secretariat's Triple Crown races written in poetry, from the gates down to the wire. It is a book that explains the ups and downs of 25 years through a jockey's eyes and how "God" helped me through the rough times. I hope this book will help someone going through the same things. My sister, Cissy, told me she thought A.A. and the church will like this book for the inspiration it brings. So turn a page, any page, and enjoy the many adventures from bronc riding, to tornadoes, to winning races. "God Bless You" and have a great day.

Coming of Age in Times of Crisis is an anthropological study of the intersecting roles of gender and schooling in the lives of rural Venezuelan youth as they make the transition to adulthood during times of national political and economic crisis. Strongly grounded in local detail while speaking to larger comparative issues and the crises that surround globalization, the study enables us to see how gender roles and social class are reproduced in a culture experiencing profound upheaval, and to see how rural Venezuelans have managed to reproduce and change their culture in these circumstances. This book is based on two-and-a-half years of ethnographic field research Hurtig conducted in the Andean region of Venezuela between 1991 and 1993, and again briefly in 1996.
