Books with author David Wright

**Winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in History** *Winner of the Bancroft, Parkman, Los Angeles Times (biography), Lincoln, Plutarch, and Christopher Awards* Named one of the Best Books of 2018 by The New York Times Book Review, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, The San Francisco Chronicle, and Time “Extraordinary…a great American biography” (The New Yorker) of the most important African-American of the nineteenth century: Frederick Douglass, the escaped slave who became the greatest orator of his day and one of the leading abolitionists and writers of the era.As a young man Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) escaped from slavery in Baltimore, Maryland. He was fortunate to have been taught to read by his slave owner mistress, and he would go on to become one of the major literary figures of his time. His very existence gave the lie to slave owners: with dignity and great intelligence he bore witness to the brutality of slavery. Initially mentored by William Lloyd Garrison, Douglass spoke widely, using his own story to condemn slavery. By the Civil War, Douglass had become the most famed and widely travelled orator in the nation. In his unique and eloquent voice, written and spoken, Douglass was a fierce critic of the United States as well as a radical patriot. After the war he sometimes argued politically with younger African Americans, but he never forsook either the Republican party or the cause of black civil and political rights. In this “cinematic and deeply engaging” (The New York Times Book Review) biography, David Blight has drawn on new information held in a private collection that few other historian have consulted, as well as recently discovered issues of Douglass’s newspapers. “Absorbing and even moving…a brilliant book that speaks to our own time as well as Douglass’s” (The Wall Street Journal), Blight’s biography tells the fascinating story of Douglass’s two marriages and his complex extended family. “David Blight has written the definitive biography of Frederick Douglass…a powerful portrait of one of the most important American voices of the nineteenth century” (The Boston Globe).

Once there was a little doll. Her name was Edith. She lived in a nice house and had everything she needed except someone to play with. She was lonely! Then one morning Edith looked into the garden and there stood two bears! Since it was first published in 1957, The Lonely Doll has established itself as a unique children's classic. Through innovative photography Dare Wright brings the world of dolls to life and entertains us with much more than just a story. Edith, the star of the show, is a doll from Wright's childhood, and Wright selected the bear family with the help of her brother. With simple poses and wonderful expressions, the cast of characters is vividly brought to life to tell a story of friendship.

It was summertime, and Edith and The Bears were on a farm in the country. Little Bear wanted Edith to go fishing with him. Edith had her heart set on owning a pony and she couldn’t think about anything else. Then late one night, Edith woke up and saw a wild black pony running in the moonlight beneath her window. Her mind was made up. Somehow, she and Little Bear were going to tame that pony and make him their own. But the pony, Midnight, had other ideas, and he ended up leading the two on quite a chase before they finally became friends.

Thе Rеаl Eѕtаtе billionaire ѕуnоnуmоuѕ fоr luxury living is rеnоwnеd fоr hаving the most celebrated addresses in NYC аnd around thе world. Thе Trumр signature iѕ ѕееn thrоugh hiѕ ѕumрtuоuѕ constructions including thе Fifth Avеnuе ѕkуѕсrареr, Trump Pаrk, Trumр Tоwеr, Trumр рlаzа, Thе Trumр Wоrld Tоwеr, 610 Park Avеnuе, etc. Bеlоw аrе ѕоmе оf the intеrеѕting fасtѕ аbоut Trump thаt оnе needs tо knоw: 1. Bаnkruрtсу - Dоnаld Trump did nоt always eat frоm silver рlаtеѕ аnd hаd hiѕ ѕhаrе of miѕfоrtunеѕ. In thе уеаr 1990, hе almost wеnt bankrupt and wаѕ lеft with аlmоѕt $4 billion USD in debt. Hе hаd tо give uр 50% оf the stakes оf thе renowned Tаj Mаhаl Cаѕinо tо thе bоndhоldеrѕ to grоре out оf thе dirе ѕituаtiоn. It was a major hit and Trumр nеvеr fасеd such thrеаtеning bаnkruрtсу problems in his lifе; аlthоugh, hе did fасе ѕеvеrаl сriѕеѕ whiсh were nеgligiblе tо hiѕ position. Tоdау, Trumр stands аѕ thе CEO оf thе "Trumр Orgаnizаtiоn" thаt owns оvеr 100 соmраniеѕ. 2. Fооtbаll - In the уеаr 1983, Dоnаld Trump оwnеd thе Nеw Jersey Generals whiсh wаѕ a frаnсhiѕе оf thе USFL (Unitеd Stаtеѕ Fооtbаll Lеаguе). Althоugh, the whole еvеnt had tо соmе tо a hаlt аftеr three years (1983-1985) thеrе iѕ nо dеnуing that the team of Trumр рrоduсеd some оf thе ѕkillеd рlауеrѕ of thе game likе Hеrѕсhеl Walker. 3.

Trumр gоt thе рrivilеgе to ѕhаvе thе hеаd fоr McMahon which was thе bet agreed before the mаtсh. Thеrе wаѕ much controversy whеn Trumр wаѕ ѕаid tо hаvе bоught thе infamous wrеѕtling ѕhоw "Rаw" in thе уеаr 2009 from thе оwnеr Vinсе MсMаhоn. Hоwеvеr, there wаѕ оffiсiаl аnnоunсеmеnt thаt there was nо ѕuсh 'ѕаlе'. 4. Tееtоtаlеr - Dоnаld Trump livеѕ thе life оf a riсh рrinсе, but never gоt interested in tаking alcohol. He is believed tо bе a tееtоtаlеr withоut muсh аffесtiоn tо bооzе, which should be аn inѕрirаtiоn fоr those who drool in the mirth of this dаngеrоuѕ habit. 5. Board game - Thеrе iѕ a bоаrd game on Trumр аnd it is knоwn as "Trump: Thе Game" аnd it wаѕ rеlеаѕеd in the year 1989, but it hаd tо be diѕсоntinuеd аѕ thiѕ gаmе didn't bесаmе popular in tеrmѕ оf rеviеwѕ and ѕаlеѕ аѕ wеll. Thе gаmе iѕ ѕimilаr to mоnороlу but it соuldn't rесеivе the аttеntiоn. Hоwеvеr, it stands out аѕ a record bесаuѕе nо other Presidential саndidаtе has a bоаrd gаmе named after thеm. Trumр, оr "thе Dоnаld," аѕ hе wаѕ niсknаmеd, finely сrаftеd his persona оvеr thе years with аn intеnѕе drivе tо place "Trumр" оn еvеrуthing hе bоught. Hе iѕѕuеd a ѕtrеаm оf news bullеtinѕ аbоut hiѕ еvеrу move, рutting himѕеlf соnѕtаntlу in the public eye. Hе was a hаndѕ-оn businessman whо liked tо knоw еvеrу dеtаil оf his ventures. Considered drivеn, аrrоgаnt, аnd intеlligеnt, Trumр understood thе psychology of rеаl еѕtаtе ѕресulаtiоn. Hе mаdе himѕеlf fаmоuѕ with hiѕ flаmbоуаnt skills at ѕеlling himself to thе media аnd personified thе Amеriсаn buѕinеѕѕ success ѕtоrу. Hе thrivеd on соnfliсt аnd the ultimаtе challenge, dоing hiѕ best when рrоblеmѕ ѕееmеd insurmountable to others. Donald Trump biography bio book

Edith, the doll featured in Dare Wright's best-selling "The Lonely Doll" book series, together with her friends, Mr. Bear and Little Bear, spend a summer vacation on a farm in the mountains of upstate New York. They explore the nooks and crannies of a very large barn, and find the barnyard and hillsides an irresistible playground. It is not long before Edith falls in love with an adorable calf. Mr. Bear, however, will not give Edith permission to bring the calf back to their home in New York City. Edith then tries convincing him to let her keep a newborn colt or a baby lamb, but Mr. Bear will have nothing to do with the adoption of a large farm animal to keep them company in their apartment in New York City. When Edith discovers a tiny kitten living in the hayloft, she’s certain that she has found the perfect pet, and waits for the right moment to ask Mr. Bear if she can keep it. But before that happens, the kitten gets stuck on the highest beam in the barn. Edith’s plan to rescue the kitten by having Little Bear hoist her up in a basket goes awry when they both end up dangling over the straw. Mr. Bear comes to their rescue, lowering Little Bear gently, and making sure that Edith and the kitten get safely down in the basket. He agrees that Edith can keep her kitten, and the vacation ends happily.

Little Bear ignores Mr. Bear’s warning never to go on a boat without him, and he and Edith soon find themselves drifting dangerously out to sea. Luckily Mr. Bear comes to their rescue, and the two learn a valuable lesson before their vacation ends.

Edith ("The Lonely Doll") brings a kitten back from the country, and her friend Little Bear feels very left out as Edith focuses all of her attention on her cuddly new playmate. It’s only when Edith is confined to her bed with the measles that she begins to realize how much she misses Little Bear’s companionship. Little Bear sneaks in for a visit that turns into a disaster when he tries to cut Edith’s tangled hair. When Little Bear gets the measles, too, Edith uses her savings to buy him a puppy. Much to Mr. Bear’s delight, the two agree to share their pets and harmony is restored.

Edith, “The Lonely Doll,” is fascinated by the pendulum and gears visible within Mr. Bear's expensive new mantle clock. When she climbs up on a stack of books to get a better look, both Edith and the clock fall down with a crash! Unable to confess that she has broken it, Edith's guilty conscience makes her so unhappy that she can't even enjoy her birthday party. Sad, she wanders about the city for a day. It takes Mr. Bear's sympathetic understanding for Edith to regain her happiness and realize that telling the truth was the right thing to do all along.

Once a police detective in St. Paul, Minnesota, Rushmore McKenzie has become not only an unlikely millionaire, but an occasional unlicensed private investigator, doing favors for friends and people in need. When his stepdaughter Erica asks him for just such a favor, McKenzie doesn’t have it in him to refuse. Even though it sounds like a very bad idea right from the start. The father of Malcolm Harris, a college friend of Erica’s, was found murdered a year ago in a park in New Brighton, a town just outside the Twin Cities. With no real clues and all the obvious suspects with concrete alibis, the case has long since gone cold. As McKenzie begins poking around, he soon discovers another unsolved murder that’s tangentially related to this one. And all connections seem to lead back to a group of friends the victim was close with. But all McKenzie has is a series of odd, even suspicious, coincidences—until someone decides to make it all that more serious and personal.

Edith ("The Lonely Doll") struggles with the choice of a Christmas gift for Mr. Bear, finally realizing that something made by hand would be far better than something bought in a store. A knitted muffler seemed a perfect choice, especially since Edith, Mr. Bear and Little Bear are planning to spend the holidays with cousins Charles Bear and Albert Bear in the snowy hills of upstate New York. Edith knits whenever Mr. Bear isn't watching, hiding her project in a woven basket without realizing how much yarn she's been using. When the presents are opened on Christmas morning, Mr. Bear's gift is long enough for three bears! Edith is miserable about it, until she finds the perfect solution. She cuts the muffler into gifts for both Mr. Bear and his two cousins, and the day ends very happily.
