Dozers Downfall

Dwayne 'Dozer' Rivers doesn't believe in true love, and how can he? His mother died at a time when a boy really needed his mother. His father wasn't there for him and his sister, leaving him to grow up fast. He filled the void in his life with countless one night stands, enjoying each one to the fullest. Settling down is something he doesn't want or see in his future. Samantha Tatum is looking to start over with not only a new family but in a new town. And one of the new things she wants for herself is Dozer. Only the man she has her sights on has made it very clear to anyone that's listening; he doesn't mess around with young girls and stays clear of the innocent ones. So how can a girl convince a man like him that they are perfect for each other? Seduce him! Samantha might get what she wants, but can she hold on to it?

Fans of cars, trains, and construction vehicles will love this bedtime board book about a little bulldozer who won't go to sleep. All kinds of vehicles take breaks, naps, and snoozes--but not bulldozers! Dozers don't need to go to bed, at least that's what the bulldozer who narrates this humorous book thinks. The self-assured dozer brags that it doesn't need sleep, but gets sleepier and sleepier as it lists all the other vehicles that do need rest: race cars make pit stops, trains stop in their tracks, tractors hit the hay, and more. The conclusion to Dozers Don't Doze, in which the dozer ultimately dozes, will entertain little ones and please parents; the illustrations of sleepy machines may even lull children to sleep despite their own efforts to resist dozing.

The first history of the bulldozer and its transformation from military weapon to essential tool for creating the post-World War II American landscape Although the decades following World War II stand out as an era of rapid growth and construction in the United States, those years were equally significant for large-scale destruction. In order to clear space for new suburban tract housing, an ambitious system of interstate highways, and extensive urban renewal development, wrecking companies demolished buildings while earthmoving contractors leveled land at an unprecedented pace and scale. In this pioneering history, Francesca Russello Ammon explores how postwar America came to equate this destruction with progress. The bulldozer functioned as both the means and the metaphor for this work. As the machine transformed from a wartime weapon into an instrument of postwar planning, it helped realize a landscape-altering "culture of clearance." In the hands of the military, planners, politicians, engineers, construction workers, and even children's book authors, the bulldozer became an American icon. Yet social and environmental injustices emerged as clearance projects continued unabated. This awareness spurred environmental, preservationist, and citizen participation efforts that have helped to slow, though not entirely stop, the momentum of the postwar bulldozer.
