Christmas: A Biography by Judith Flanders
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 9 MB
Overview: A critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author explores the Christmas holiday, from the original festival through present day traditions.
Christmas has always been a magical time. Or has it? Thirty years after the first recorded Christmas, the Pope was already warning that too many people were spending the day, not in worship, but in partying and eating to excess. By 1616, the playwright Ben Jonson was nostalgically remembering Christmas in the old days, certain that it had been better then.
Other elements of Christmas are much newer – who would have thought gift-wrap is a novelty of the twentieth century? That the first holiday parade was neither at Macy’s, nor even in the USA?
Some things, however, never change. The first known gag holiday gift book, The Boghouse Miscellany, was advertised in the 1760s ‘for gay Gallants, and good companions’, while in 1805, the leaders of the Lewis and Clark expedition exchanged – what else? – presents of underwear and socks.
Christmas is all things to all people: a religious festival, a family celebration, a period of eating and drinking. In Christmas: A Biography, bestselling author and acclaimed social historian Judith Flanders casts a sharp eye on myths, legends and history, deftly moving from the origins of the holiday in the Roman empire, through Christmas trees in central Europe, to what might be the first appearance of Santa Claus – in Switzerland – to draw a picture of the season as it has never been seen before.

Africa and Archaeology: Empowering an Expatriate Life by Merrick Posnansky
Requirements: PDF Reader, 2.7 MB
Overview: In this stimulating account of his life’s experiences, renowned scholar and pioneer Africanist archaeologist Merrick Posnansky takes his readers on an unusual journey across the world, from his origins in a small Jewish community in Manchester to his adventures on archaeological sites in the villages of Africa before finally settling down to teach in Los Angeles.

A Jewish British expatriate in an African social world, Posnansky struggled to establish his racial identity in the British colonial world where Jewish communities were rare. He crossed racial and religious boundaries by marrying a Christian woman from Uganda, a highly unusual step at that time.

Written in a refreshing, candid style, these memoirs provide a fascinating glimpse into the changes taking place in modern Africa. Africa and Archaeology is a first hand account of the racial and religious prejudices of the twentieth century.

Hello Darlin’: Tall (and Absolutely True) Tales About My Life by Larry Hagman with Todd Gold
Requirements: ePUB Reader | 3.6 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: On November 21, 1980, over 350 million people worldwide tuned in to find out: "Who shot J.R.?"In portraying the scheming, ruthless J.R. in "Dallas" during its entire run, from 1978 to 1991, Larry Hagman reached a level of fame and recognition that is rare, if not unique. Now the man behind J.R. tells his own story in an autobiography that is at once rowdy and moving, self-searching and scandalous, juicy and a "recovery story" — and often outrageously funny. Though Larry Hagman is best known for his starring roles in two hugely successful — and very different — television series, "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Dallas, " his life has been a star act from birth. Born to the theatrical purple as the son of the legendary Mary Martin, Larry Hagman received his first exposure to the heady world of show business through her — as well as experiencing a childhood that was lavish and glamorous and full of problems. His father was a tough, smart, wealthy Texas lawyer (sound familiar?), his mother Broadway’s most beloved leading lady, and the young Larry Hagman was torn between their two very different worlds. After his parents’ marriage ended, he was shunted from one boarding school to another, trying to satisfy his father’s expectations by working as a cowboy, hunting, and raising hell and still to live up to his mother’s expectations in the world of the theater.
