Book Synopsis A Southern Ambience by : Holt E. Glenn
Download or read book A Southern Ambience written by Holt E. Glenn and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a blustery December morning Tommy Rowley parks his old Volvo behind the Pius XII Auditorium, carefully places his college acceptance letter on the passenger seat, pulls up his collar against the wind, and walks into the woods. Minutes later he ends his life, hoping to bury a secret forever. Almost eight years later, a glowing window is discovered during a power outage on the campus of a Boston hospital. After some claim to see an image of the Virgin Mary in the window, Saint Katherine's Hospital quickly becomes a magnet for the devout, the curious, and the profit-minded—just as the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandal is spinning out of control. Meanwhile, stories of blackmail and conspiracy surface, secrets are revealed, and events escalate to a violent and unanticipated climax. As one of the characters says, "There's no end to the Tommy Rowley tragedy." In this fast-paced and suspenseful novel the plans and motives of its colorful characters emerge and finally erupt into open conflict. At once satiric and spiritual, comic and deeply serious, Murphy's fiction plunges readers into a vibrant community of strong traditions and beliefs whose shared culture cannot conceal its fierce rivalries, and the constant threat of its ideals from secular and clerical opportunists. The story will captivate anyone who has pondered the actions of people mesmerized by unexplained phenomena. The questions it raises—of the proper response to evil acts, of the durability of loyalty, of competing visions of justice—will stay with readers long after the story ends.

Book excerpt: New book shows America from a working mans perspective A Southern Ambience looks at social, economic concerns of the blue collar workers in the South WINNABOW, N.C. Author Holt E. Glenn takes readers on a blue collar odyssey set deep in the soul of the South in his latest book A Southern Ambience: Ramblings of a Working Man (published by AuthorHouse). Using what he calls good old rural common sense, he sets out to address many of the issues facing the South and America today, while weaving a funny, often quirky semi-autobiographical tale. As he says, Some edumacation is in fact not all in all a bad thing. I live in the blue collar world now, but it has not always been that way, for I have known the world of Country Clubs and the privileged, Glenn writes. Both social/economic spheres have features that inspire and intrigue me. I have come to see that there are snobs on both sides of the fence! Subject matter such as obesity, governmental dependency, obesity, illegal immigration and gun control are touched upon. A Southern Ambience By Holt E. Glenn
Book Synopsis A Southern Renaissance by : Richard H. King
Download or read book A Southern Renaissance written by Richard H. King and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1981-02-04 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the interaction between literature and history, King shows how such writers as William Faulkner, James Agee, W. J. Cash, Allen Tate, and C. Vann Woodward confronted Southern traditions rooted in the plantation culture, the Civil War, Reconstruction and racial reaction and raised them to a historical awareness. In the process some of these figures rejected while others reaffirmed the essence of what King calls the "Southern family romance." Book jacket.
Download or read book Ambient Media written by Paul Roquet and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ambient Media examines music, video art, film, and literature as tools of atmospheric design in contemporary Japan, and what it means to use media as a resource for personal mood regulation. Paul Roquet traces the emergence of ambient styles from the environmental music and Erik Satie boom of the 1960s and 1970s to the more recent therapeutic emphasis on healing and relaxation. Focusing on how an atmosphere works to reshape those dwelling within it, Roquet shows how ambient aesthetics can provide affordances for reflective drift, rhythmic attunement, embodied security, and urban coexistence. Musicians, video artists, filmmakers, and novelists in Japan have expanded on Brian Eno’s notion of the ambient as a style generating “calm, and a space to think,” exploring what it means to cultivate an ambivalent tranquility set against the uncertain horizons of an ever-shifting social landscape. Offering a new way of understanding the emphasis on “reading the air” in Japanese culture, Ambient Media documents both the adaptive and the alarming sides of the increasing deployment of mediated moods. Arguing against critiques of mood regulation that see it primarily as a form of social pacification, Roquet makes a case for understanding ambient media as a neoliberal response to older modes of collective attunement—one that enables the indirect shaping of social behavior while also allowing individuals to feel like they are the ones ultimately in control.
Book Synopsis Planting the Natural Garden by : Piet Oudolf
Download or read book Planting the Natural Garden written by Piet Oudolf and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If the world of gardening has rock stars, Piet Oudolf qualifies as Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Prince rolled into one.” —Gardenista The original publication of Planting the Natural Garden ushered in a revolution in landscape design: the New Perennial Movement. Spearheaded by internationally renowned designer Piet Oudolf, and incisively articulated by the late plantsman and designer Henk Gerritsen, it transformed private and public spaces with its emotionally resonant, naturalistic use of hardy perennials and grasses. Now this classic has been expanded and updated to include scores of new plants and combinations. Packed with practical information and visual inspiration, Planting the Natural Garden zeroes in on the New Perennial Movement’s power to move us, making its distinctive plant palette available to all. For enthusiasts of these vibrant landscapes, it is an essential text; for gardeners who love the dreamy moods and colors that Oudolf and Gerritsen celebrate, it’s the key to a magic kingdom of garden beauty.

Book Synopsis Ambient Temperature and Health in China by : Hualiang Lin
Download or read book Ambient Temperature and Health in China written by Hualiang Lin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the Chinese health impact induced by ambient temperature variation, especially the epidemiology-based exposure-response relationship with the mortality and morbidity from respiratory, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health among Chinese population.A great number of epidemiological studies have reported that ambient temperature is closely associated with a wide range of health outcomes, such as mortality, cardiovascular and respiratory events, adverse birth outcome, and some infectious diseases, such as dengue fever, malaria. Although a number of epidemiological studies in western countries have evaluated the adverse health effects of ambient temperature, the exposure-response relationship from these countries cannot simply be applied to the Chinese population due to the large differences in temperature profile, exposure pattern, as well as the population vulnerability. This book will provide up-to-date estimates of the magnitude of adverse health effects of ambient temperature in the Chinese population. We hope to provide readers with a comprehensive and organized body of information in the area of Ambient Temperature and health.

Book Synopsis Sources and Composition of Ambient Particulate Matter by : Manousos-Ioannis Manousakas
Download or read book Sources and Composition of Ambient Particulate Matter written by Manousos-Ioannis Manousakas and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-09-10 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research related to ambient particulate matter (PM) remains very relevant today due to the adverse effects that PM have on human health. PM are pollutants with varying chemical compositions and may originate from multiple emission sources, which directly affects their toxicity. To formulate effective control and mitigation strategies, it is necessary to identify PM sources and to estimate their influence on ambient PM concentration, a process that is known as source apportionment (SA). Depending on the geographical location and characteristics of an area, many anthropogenic and natural sources may contribute to PM concentration levels, such as dust resuspension, sea salt, traffic, secondary aerosol formation, industrial emissions, ship emissions, biomass burning, power plant emissions, etc. Different methodological approaches have been used over the years to study the aforementioned topics, but some scientific challenges remain, mainly related to the following subjects: real-time chemical analysis and SA, uncertainty estimation of SA results, and analytical optimization for PM samples. Additionally, there are areas in the world for which the results regarding composition and sources of PM are still scarce. The objective of this collection was to include studies on all aspects of PM chemical characterization and source apportionment regarding the inorganic and/or organic fractions of PM.
