Book Synopsis Journey of a Thousand Miles by : Lang Lang
Download or read book Journey of a Thousand Miles written by Lang Lang and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey of a Thousand Miles tells the remarkable story of a boy who sacrificed almost everything – family, financial security, childhood and his reputation in China’s insular classical music world – to fulfil his promise as a classical pianist. Lang Lang was born in Shenyang in north-eastern China just after the end of the Cultural Revolution. He began piano lessons at three years old and by age ten had been awarded a place at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. In order to continue his studies he moved thousands of miles from home, living with his exacting father in a cramped, shared apartment, while his mother stayed at home to earn the money to pay his fees. At fifteen he moved to the United States to take up a scholarship at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia; by nineteen he was selling out Carnegie Hall. His tutor and mentor Daniel Barenboim was perhaps the first to describe him as ‘extraordinarily talented’; today his assessment is shared by millions. Now in adulthood, Lang Lang tours relentlessly, delighting sell-out audiences with his trademark flamboyance and showmanship. Journey of a Thousand Miles is a tale of heartbreak, drama and ultimately triumph. His inspiring story demonstrates the courage and self-sacrifice required to achieve artistic greatness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a decade of silence, Dee and Ben reunite for a road trip they once promised to take. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. Dee Matthews is the cohost of the smash-hit podcast Did I Forget To Tell You?, where she interviews family, friends, and past lovers. Nothing is off limits, except for one man (known on the show only as Name Redacted) who happens to be her high school best friend Ben. During their senior year spring break, Dee and Ben took a road trip to visit Ben’s grandma. They buried a time capsule in her backyard, pledging to return in ten years to open it. Then their friendship fell apart in spectacular fashion. They haven’t spoken to each other since. Ben Porter’s life since that moment has been unexciting but comfortable, until his grandma reveals a family secret that flips his whole world upside down. Her dying wish is for him to stop doing what is safest and go after what he really wants. He starts by showing up on Dee’s doorstep with every intention of fulfilling their long-ago promise. Despite her reservations, Dee can’t say no. This trip could be her chance to give her listeners the Name Redacted interview they’ve been begging for—and finally put her unresolved feelings for Ben to rest. As the miles fly by, Dee and Ben's friendship reignites. But the closer they get to reaching their destination, the more apparent it becomes that their attraction to each other cannot be ignored. Their last adventure ended in disaster, and they’re about to find out if any hope of a future together is in the rear view mirror.

Book Synopsis THE FIRST PILLAR OF LOVE by : Erwin E. Sniedzins
Download or read book THE FIRST PILLAR OF LOVE written by Erwin E. Sniedzins and published by Toronto Education Press. This book was released on 2023-07-12 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erwin Sniedzins, a loving father and businessman in Canada, is horrified and saddened when he discovers his wonderful one-year-old daughter Sarah, normal at birth, suddenly doesn’t respond to the world around her. Later, Erwin reads about a condition called Rett Syndrome that affects only girls. He thinks he has found the answer. Dr. Rett diagnoses Sarah with the genetic disorder he discovered called Rett Syndrome. Erwin and his wife Marg first experience hope, then great fear, when they learn there is no cure. Erwin’s determination and passion for helping Sarah, as well as girls like her and other families that suffer from the disease, becomes his life mission. He tenaciously seeks answers to his questions: How to raise international awareness about Rett Syndrome? How do we educate the Medical community to make them aware of the disease and enhance global research? How to raise the funds necessary to unlock the nightmare of Rett Syndrome? Erwin finds an answer and makes a courageous decision: Climb the tallest and grandest mountain in the world, “Qhomolungma,” which in English is “Mount. Everest.” He quit his 18-year executive position at Xerox, a global leader in photocopy machines and established the Canadian Rett Syndrome Association (CRSA) to raise national awareness and funds. Along this complicated, long, arduous journey, he becomes a charity leader who encounters opposition from the people he is trying to help - resistance that sorely tests a father’s resolve to reach “Qhomolungma.” From Chinese hearts, he finds much generosity to relieve the bitterness of fighting such fierce and counterproductive battles. Despite sleepless nights and anxiety, Erwin and his CRSA team plan to put on a high-society fundraising gala charity called the “Climb for Hope” ball. The Ball became another considerable challenge. How do you organize a huge gala event? It helped that he had attended many elaborate fundraising gala dinners. Could he get 600 to 800 people to be present at the Climb for Hope Ball at $150 to $350 each to help raise funds for the expedition and parent support? Who could help to make it successful? The answer came from New Zealand.
Download or read book The Red Wall written by Jane Hall and published by GeneralStore PublishingHouse. This book was released on 2007 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1977, people have asked Jane Hall over and over what it was like to have been among the first few female members in the RCMP, and, like so many of her peers, she has avoided answering the question. How could one sentence do the question justice? Finally, after years of thoughtful contemplation, she has borrowed a phrase from the father of one of the original members of the North West Mounted Police--Sub-Inspector Francis Dickens : "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." But the reason for avoiding the answer, like the question itself, was a little more complex than simply not having the correct words. To truly tell the complete story, some of the bad as well as the good must be told; and that was why senior female members like Ms. Hall had chosen to remain silent, fearing that any abbreviated response could be misinterpreted or subverted to unfairly attack the RCMP. After all, it was the RCMP who broke new social and professional ground when it decided : "In the absence of any empirical evidence to the contrary, the assumption had to be that females would be capable of performing all the diversified duties in the Force equal to the males." The RCMP, the embodiment of the Canadian national identity, levelled the professional playing field for women, and by doing so, in this unprecedented leadership role the RCMP catapulted the women's movement forward, impacting the lives of women throughout North America--and quite possibly the world. Says Jane Hall : "It is time to break the silence; time to acknowledge our successes and our failures. Time to move forward."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illuminates the politics and policy of the current struggle over Social Security in light of the program's compelling history and ingenious structure.

Although President Bush has tried to convince Americans that Social Security is designed for the last century and unworkable for an aging population, readers will see that the President's assault is just another battle in a longstanding ideological war. Prescott Bush, the current Presidentâ??s grandfather, remarked of FDR, "The only man I truly hated lies buried in Hyde Park." The book traces the continuous thread leading from Prescott Bush and his contemporaries to George W. Bush and others who want to undo Social Security. The book concludes with policy recommendations which eliminate Social Security's deficit in a manner consistent with the program's philosophy and structure.
