Описание: NEW CITY, NEW LIFE Lauren Conrad -- known as "LC" on the hit MTV series "Laguna Beach" -- is all grown up. She's left behind her family, friends, and the
sheltered life of Laguna to pursue her dreams of conquering the fashion world and making it on her own in the high-pressure, beauty-obsessed land of the rich and famous -- Los
Angeles. But Lauren finds herself torn in different directions as she starts this new chapter in her life.
She has to juggle a dream internship at "Teen Vogue," a full course load
at a brand-new college, and a whirlwind social life with her three closest friends: Heidi, her party girl roommate who does PR for L.A.'s nightlife scene; Audrina, an aspiring model and
actress; and Whitney, a fellow "Teen Vogue" fashionista. Lauren is determined to have it all as she runs with the young and fabulous in Hollywood's "it" crowd. "The Hills: City of
Angels" gives you an all-access pass to what you "didn't" see on TV.
Take a closer look at Lauren, Heidi, Audrina, and Whitney: the tight friendships they've formed, the
laugh-out-loud moments that didn't make it on the show, and their ups and downs with the boys in their lives -- including Jason, Jordan, and Brian. Packed with exclusive photos and
revealing stories, here is the ultimate insider look at what it's really like to be a girl from "The Hills,"
Описание: New York Times Best Seller2015 RFK Book Awards Special Recognition2015 Lillian Smith Book Award2015 AAUP Books Committee ""Outstanding"" TitleThis fast-paced, richly detailed biography, based on more than eighty interviews, digs deep beneath the surface to reveal a more complicated and profound story of sports pioneering than we've come to expect from the genre. Perry Wallace's unusually insightful and honest introspection reveals his inner thoughts throughout his journey.Wallace entered kindergarten the year that Brown v. Board of Education upended ""separate but equal."" As a 12-year-old, he sneaked downtown to watch the sit-ins at Nashville's lunch counters. A week after Martin Luther King Jr.'s ""I Have a Dream"" speech, Wallacehe entered high school, and later saw the passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts. On March 16, 1966, his Pearl High School basketball team won Tennessee's first integrated state tournament--the same day Adolph Rupp's all-white Kentucky Wildcats lost to the all-black Texas Western Miners in an iconic NCAA title game.The world seemed to be opening up at just the right time, and when Vanderbilt recruited himPerry, Wallace courageously accepted the assignment to desegregate the SEC. His experiences on campus and in the hostile gymnasiums of the Deep South turned out to be nothing like he ever imagined.On campus, he encountered the leading civil rights figures of the day, including Stokely Carmichael, Martin Luther King Jr., Fannie Lou Hamer, and Robert Kennedy--and he led Vanderbilt's small group of black students to a meeting with the university chancellor to push for better treatment.On the basketball court, he experienced an Ole Miss boycott and the rabid hate of the Mississippi State fans in Starkville. Following his freshman year, the NCAA instituted ""the Lew Alcindor rule,"" which deprived Wallace of his signature move, the slam dunk.Despite this attempt to limit the influence of a rising tide of black stars, the final basket of Wallace's college career was a cathartic and defiant dunk, and the story Wallace told to the Vanderbilt Human Relations Committee and later The Tennessean was not the simple story of a triumphant trailblazer that many people wanted to hear. Yes, he had gone from hearing racial epithets when he appeared in his dormitory to being voted as the university's most popular student, but, at the risk of being labeled ""ungrateful,"" he spoke truth to power in describing the daily slights and abuses he had overcome and what Martin Luther King had called ""the agonizing loneliness of a pioneer.
