Brooke Hanson was the baby of Australia's Commonwealth Games swim team with the world at her feet. Yet it took a decade of dogged perseverance, including twice narrowly missing Olympic selection and suffering physical and personal setbacks, before she finally achieved her Olympic dream. Co-written by Neil Cadigan, sports journalist and author, When Silver is Gold is an inspiring story about an Australian woman who refused to give in, and found that coming second at the Olympic Games was as good as gold.
Each day became a quest for survival for Nicholas, a 14 year old German immigrant who came to New Braunfels, Texas, in 1846 and grew into a man very quickly. Based on the author's ancestors, Silverbrook takes us through the adventures in Nic's early years and shows how these events shaped his life. Nicholas Steubing will leave a lasting impression in your heart and mind. Use the study guide questions for a deeper understanding of this historically accurate epic adventure.
Since the early 1900s, Silver Lake has been a magnet for iconoclastic writers, architects and political activists. Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed the Hollyhock House for socialist and oil heiress Aline Barnsdall, drew a wave of visionary modernists to the area. Local civil rights advocate Loren Miller spearheaded the fight against housing discrimination. Silver Lake's Black Cat bar and Harry Hay's Mattachine Society were central to the early gay rights movement. Literary artists Anäis Nin and James Leo Herlihy made the neighborhood their home, as did other notables like first lady of baseball Effa Manley and "Hobo Millionaire" James Eads How. Michael Locke and Vincent Brook chronicle these and other people and places that helped make Silver Lake the bohemian epicenter of Los Angeles.
