Lazalier Brady is an ex-firefighter on the verge of homelessness. When he discovers his sick toddler, Ellie, abandoned by her mother, fatherly instincts take hold despite his dark, haunting secret. Intent on providing for Ellie, Laz accepts a humble position as groundskeeper to a wealthy oil tycoon in the wild and frozen interior of Alaska.

Excerpt: ... ening all the savings of industry, which we call capital, ' with annihilation. Woe unto France Her errors are neither royal nor republican.; they are economic. M. Chevalier is writing amid the tumult of the revolution of 1848, to correct some of the errors unhappily prevailing on the industrial questions of production and consumption. The following is a quotation from him; He is answering the allegation that France produces too inuch, and says of the present condition of the people: --' "The mass of all the products which France offers to the material wants of her population of 35,000,000 is differently estimated; it is probably an exaggeration to estimate it in money at ten millions. Supposing this to be divided at so much a head, it would give each Frenchman 78 centimes to expend per day in clothing, meat, lodging, instruction, and enjoyment, and it is out of that sum that any saving for a future day must be made. At the price at which all the necessaries of life are, can any thing like comfort be procured for 78 centimes per day? Evidently not. Even in the supposition that an equal division of the products could be made, France is not in a state to give to each of her inhabitants what is necessary for their comfort; the part which the poor would have would only keep them poor--the poor would only increase in number. There are, however, 15,000,000 of Frenchmen spread over the country, and in certain quarters of large cities, whose labour does not procure them even this average sum. I ask all those who have gone through the departments of the central plateau of France--those who have witnessed the existence of the peasants of the Hautes and Basses Alpes, who inhabit huts and live on black bread, cooked with cow-dung as their only fuel. I appeal to those w...

Experiments in Modern Living

Pages : 232
Book Description
When a group of brilliant young scientists arrived in Australia's national capital after World War II to take up leading roles in the establishment of national research institutions, they commissioned Australia's leading architects to design their private houses. The houses that resulted from these unique collaborations rejected previous architectural styles and wholeheartedly embraced modernist ideologies and aesthetics. The story of how these progressive clients contributed to the innovative design of their houses brings fresh insights to mid-twentieth-century Australian domestic architecture and to Canberra's rich cultural history.
