Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Relegated. Twice. Once in a war zone. Once in a stadium.Dr. Kevin P. Wallace wore a West Ham shirt under his body armour in Afghanistan. When the shrapnel hit, he didn't think about medals or mission reports. He wondered if the badge survived.This is not your typical football memoir.It's the story of an American airman who found home in East London's terraces, adopted by Plaistow lads who judged him on whether he'd buy a round and sing. It's about watching relegation on a flickering eighteen-inch screen in a combat camera office while Italian soldiers put hands on his shoulders. About a 27,106-mile road trip across America collecting stories of wounded warriors-with West Ham matches as the punctuation between grief and hope.From the Boleyn Ground's final days to a Prague tunnel where two Americans nearly caused an international incident, from a 'rage tent' art studio to the night Bowen lifted the Europa Conference League trophy, Wallace traces the scarlet and blue thread stitching together a life lived between uniforms.His wife Lauren-co-author, anthropologist, and fellow convert-adds her own voice, chronicling how a woman who grew up suspicious of crowds ended up belting 'Bubbles' on a bench in Old Town Square.This book is for anyone who's ever loved something that breaks their heart exactly when they need it broken. For the veterans who carried a club across oceans. For the supporters who light candles in the pissing rain and use their bodies to shield the flame.The scoreline never mattered. The person next to you always did.Up the Hammers. Always.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Presumed first edition (no direct edition/printing statement provided). 60, [4] pages plus covers. Staple-bound paperback booklet: H 22.75cm x L 15.25cm. Tan paper covers with some toning and slight foxing/soiling. Foxing to text block edges; interior foxing throughout but strongest on initial and rear leaves; past owner's personal blind-stamp on first two leaves along with his name/address ink stamp on front cover's blank verso, on pages 1 and 35, and again on rear cover's blank recto; same owner's ink signature also on front cover verso. No publishing date is specified but the booklet's text notes the party's nomination acceptances at their Houston convention on August 11, 1948 so presumably the booklet was published shortly thereafter. Evidently a rather scarce booklet as OCLC locates copies at only seven member institutions. The booklet proffers the platform of the bigoted segregationist Dixiecrat stoking WWII and communist fear via Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler, as well as the usual gripes of federal government interference plus other racist and historical drivel. The ticket was comprised of South Carolina governor Strom Thurmond for president, Mississippi governor Fielding Lewis Wright for vice president, and completing the spiteful triumvirate, was future Alabama governor George C. Wallace who is cited as the campaign committee's treasurer on page 6. Thurmond, of course, would go on to befoul the United States Senate from 1954 to 2003 whereas Governor Wright's lamentations were silenced by his passing in 1956. {Shelf-PB-Box90}.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 208, xx, [1] ; illustrated, 4 in color ; 21 cm. ; John Horace McFarland (1859-1948) was an American master printer and horticulturist. Throughout his career, he advocated for civic beautification, and he became a leader in the conservation movement of the early twentieth century. His wide-ranging achievements made a lasting impact on printing processes, horticulture, and environmental protection. During McFarland's early years, his father operated a nursery and a small weekly newspaper in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. McFarland worked in both of his father's businesses as a youth. These early experiences instilled the passion for horticultural beauty and the business expertise that distinguished him personally and professionally. He eventually purchased his father's press. Combining the skills learned from these early experiences, he established a successful printing company of his own. He founded the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press, specializing in seed catalogs and nursery trade publications. Over the course of his lifetime, McFarland wrote and lectured extensively on horticulture, printing methods, and civic improvement. McFarland was a prominent member of the American Rose Society.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 280 days. 27,106 miles. 317 interviews. 443 names. After getting married, Kevin and Lauren Wallace skipped the usual honeymoon, instead exchanging their condo for an old van that they planned to drive around the country. But this wasn't your typical road trip. Kevin, a veteran who'd received the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star with Valor, and Lauren, an anthropologist, knew they had a calling: to tell the stories of veterans who had sacrificed everything, some of them their lives, and ensure they are never forgotten. Traveling from state to state, they held interviews with Purple Heart veterans, with the Gold Star families left behind, with children who wouldn't let their parents' sacrifices be in vain. Throughout their mission, they memorialized these heroes by painting their names on the van itself, the Van of Valor, for everyone to see. Even when the road got tough, when van breakdowns and heartbreaking conversations threatened to bring an end to their mission, Kevin and Lauren refused to give up. They'd made a promise to these heroes, and they intended to honor it. Van of Valor is a genre-defying narrative that blends oral history and memoir into one unforgettable tribute, taking you along on a momentous cross-country journey. Discover the valiant stories of dozens of veterans-from the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of Afghanistan and the jungles of Vietnam to the streets of Baghdad-who gave their all so you could be free.…
