Book Description
Claire Keegan’s brilliant debut collection, Antarctica, was a Los Angeles Times Book of the Year, and earned her resounding accolades on both sides of the Atlantic. Now she has delivered her next, much-anticipated book, Walk the Blue Fields, an unforgettable array of quietly wrenching stories about despair and desire in the timeless world of modern-day Ireland. In the never-before-published story “The Long and Painful Death,” a writer awarded a stay to work in Heinrich Böll’s old cottage has her peace interrupted by an unwelcome intruder, whose ulterior motives only emerge as the night progresses. In the title story, a priest waits at the altar to perform a marriage and, during the ceremony and the festivities that follow, battles his memories of a love affair with the bride that led him to question all to which he has dedicated his life; later that night, he finds an unlikely answer in the magical healing powers of a seer. A masterful portrait of a country wrestling with its past and of individuals eking out their futures, Walk the Blue Fields is a breathtaking collection from one of Ireland’s greatest talents, and a resounding articulation of all the yearnings of the human heart.

Book Description
This guide is intended to take your first steps with Flask using Python; with this, we are going to propose two things: It is not a book that aims to know Flask 100%, or from zero to expert, since it would be too big an objective for the scope of this guide, otherwise, to know what it offers us and create the first web applications with Flask , know its extensions, create an API, use Jinja2 among others... It is assumed that the reader has at least basic knowledge of Python development. This book has a practical approach, knowing the key aspects of the technology and moving into practice, gradually implementing small features of an application that has real scope. To follow this book you need to have a computer with Windows, Linux or MacOS. The book is currently in development. This book consists of 20 chapters, with which we will learn in detail the most important and basic features of Flask: Chapter 1: In this chapter we will give an introduction to Python, knowing its basic characteristics and functionalities such as variables, data types, functions, classes, among others. Chapter 2: In this chapter we are going to present the software necessary to create projects in Flask, what happens from Python, to preparing the environment, the editor that we will use, VSC and a web browser. Chapter 3: We present some essential commands to develop in Flask, we will prepare the environment and give an introduction to the framework, we will create a structure for the project in Flask and we will get a basic understanding of the routing for the controllers. Chapter 4: In this chapter we will see how to use the template engine par excellence in Flask, which is Jinja, with which we can return responses in HTML format and customize the page with embedded Python code with which we can customize using blocks, filters, macros, among others. Chapter 5: In this chapter we will see how to connect an application in Flask to a relational database such as MySQL using SQLAlchemy; We will see how to configure a database, connection through the models, generation of automatic migrations based on the models and basic CRUD operations to manipulate the database. Chapter 6: In this chapter we will install the Flask Migrate extension to configure a migration system for the project and in this way be able to customize the tables and have a robust schema to be able to make changes to the database in a practical and scalable way, in addition to be able to create a trace with these changes. Chapter 7: In this chapter we will use the Form WTF extension to create forms, apply validations, initial values and later dump this data into the database, these forms are classes with the aforementioned attributes and in this way we can apply the same schema for server and client side data manipulation. Chapter 8: In this chapter we will see how to use one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many relationships in Flask with SQLAlchemy. Chapter 9: In this chapter we will see how to use flash messages useful to inform the user about the operations carried out. Chapter 10: In this chapter we will use Flask Login to create an authentication system and protect drivers. Chapter 11: In this chapter we will see how to implement a Rest Api using the Restful Flash package, generate access tokens and make test connections. Chapter 12: In this chapter we will see how to implement unit tests that are part of the development of any application. To do this, we will use the Pytest package available for Python. Chapter 13: In this chapter we will integrate the Bootstrap 5 web framework to our project in Flask, in this way, we will see how to use both technologies together and we will apply styles to the forms, lists, navigation menu, among others. Chapter 14: In this chapter we will use Flask Babel to add a multilanguage system to the application, to give the application the ability to use more than one language. Chapter 15: In this chapter we will learn about several Flask extensions that we have not used until this chapter, such as cache, CLI, a debug banner, email, among others. Chapter 16: In this chapter we will learn how to create custom decorators to use in controllers. Chapter 17: In this chapter we will integrate a role system into the application, in addition to this, we will enhance the user profile with several options such as the option to change the password, social networks, address, preferred language, among others. Chapter 18: In this chapter we are going to learn about some operations on the database using SQLAlchemy, in addition to knowing how to use the Flask shell. Chapter 19: In this chapter we are going to learn how to use files to manage environment variables in Flask. Chapter 20: In this chapter we are going to create our first experiment which will be a filter to filter by search term, category and tag.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of A. Lincoln and American Ulysses comes the dramatic and definitive biography of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, the history-altering professor turned Civil War hero. “A vital and vivid portrait of an unlikely military hero who played a key role in the preservation of the Union and therefore in the making of modern America.”—Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of And There Was Light SHORTLISTED FOR THE GILDER LEHRMAN LINCOLN PRIZE • A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Before 1862, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain had rarely left his home state of Maine, where he was a trained minister and mild-mannered professor at Bowdoin College. His colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union army, but he was undeterred and later became known as one of the North’s greatest heroes: On the second day at Gettysburg, after running out of ammunition at Little Round Top, he ordered his men to wield their bayonets in a desperate charge down a rocky slope that routed the Confederate attackers. Despite being wounded at Petersburg—and told by two surgeons he would die—Chamberlain survived the war, going on to be elected governor of Maine four times and serve as president of Bowdoin College. How did a stuttering young boy come to be fluent in nine languages and even teach speech and rhetoric? How did a trained minister find his way to the battlefield? Award-winning historian Ronald C. White delves into these contradictions in this cradle-to-grave biography of General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, from his upbringing in rural Maine to his tenacious, empathetic military leadership and his influential postwar public service, exploring a question that still plagues so many veterans: How do you make a civilian life of meaning after having experienced the extreme highs and lows of war? Chamberlain is familiar to millions from Michael Shaara’s now-classic novel of the Civil War, The Killer Angels, and Ken Burns’s timeless miniseries The Civil War, but in this book, White captures the complex and inspiring man behind the hero. Heavily illustrated and featuring nine detailed maps, this gripping, impeccably researched portrait illuminates one of the most admired but least known figures in our nation’s bloodiest conflict.

Book Description
The Encyclopedia of Vaudeville provides a unique record of what was once America's preeminent form of popular entertainment from the late 1800s through the early 1930s. It includes entries not only on the entertainers themselves, but also on those who worked behind the scenes, the theatres, genres, and historical terms. Entries on individual vaudevillians include biographical information, samplings of routines and, often, commentary by the performers. Many former vaudevillians were interviewed for the book, including Milton Berle, Block and Sully, Kitty Doner, Fifi D'Orsay, Nick Lucas, Ken Murray, Fayard Nicholas, Olga Petrova, Rose Marie, Arthur Tracy, and Rudy Vallee. Where appropriate, entries also include bibliographies. The volume concludes with a guide to vaudeville resources and a general bibliography. Aside from its reference value, with its more than five hundred entries, The Encyclopedia of Vaudeville discusses the careers of the famous and the forgotten. Many of the vaudevillians here, including Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Jimmy Durante, W. C. Fields, Bert Lahr, and Mae West, are familiar names today, thanks to their continuing careers on screen. At the same time, and given equal coverage, are forgotten acts: legendary female impersonators Bert Savoy and Jay Brennan, the vulgar Eva Tanguay with her billing as “The I Don't Care Girl,” male impersonator Kitty Doner, and a host of “freak” acts.
