Download or read book Cain's Field written by Matt Rees and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-11-15 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this gripping, in-the-trenches account of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, award-winning journalist Matt Rees takes us deep within Israeli and Palestinian societies to reveal the fractures at the core of both. While the world focuses almost exclusively on the violent clash between the two camps, Rees steers our gaze toward their centers, exposing the internal rifts that drain each society of its ability to act cohesively. The Palestinians focus on the occupation of the West Bank, the Jewish settlers, and other Israeli actions, while the Israelis see only the intifada and the suicide bombings -- and both overlook their bitter infighting. This dazzling, groundbreaking narrative goes behind the familiar moves of the big players to reveal the individuals who are at war not only with the enemy, but also with their own people. Beginning with the astonishing story of a Hamas member who is targeted both by Israel for his hand in attacks against Jews, and by the Palestinian Authority for the revenge killing of a police officer who murdered his brother, each chapter concentrates on one or two individuals with whom Rees has personal contact, and whose stories uncover the chaos at the hearts of these two warring groups. From Palestinian car thieves and filmmakers to Israeli settlers and Holocaust survivors, Rees traces the minute and numerous ways that Yasser Arafat betrays his people and the Israeli leadership veers between placating and abusing its clashing factions. Rees has unparalleled access to groups and people on both sides of the conflict, as well as an extraordinary talent for looking beyond the usual stories. In Cain's Field, he suggests that the world has been looking in the wrong place to explain the unending battles and in the wrong place for a solution. With heartbreaking detail, incisive revelations, and terrible and often moving stories of the human beings behind the intractable attitudes and violence, Rees offers a bold new perspective on this tragic and seemingly insoluble situation. In so doing, he also offers hope -- the hope that by turning the spotlight inward, these societies might heal their internal wounds and move toward a peaceful future.

Book Synopsis Forgive Me Father, for I Have Grinned by : V. N. Phillips
Download or read book Forgive Me Father, for I Have Grinned written by V. N. Phillips and published by The Overmountain Press. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious gaffes are served up in a family-friendly style in this riotous collection of bona fide stories and puns related to traditions of worship. Amusing anecdotes of comical church incidents are featured, as are examples of Christians who have been given the boot for poorly chosen words uttered in front of their congregations. A section on cemeteries looks at bizarre, witty, and often brazenly frank tombstone inscriptions such as "He was so cold natured / Warm in life he was not. / Now it is believed he's very warm, / In a place where it's very hot!"—and, if possible, the people and stories behind them.
Book Synopsis The Telltale Lilac Bush and Other West Virginia Ghost Tales by : Ruth Ann Musick

This book was released on 1965-12-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " West Virginia boasts an unusually rich heritage of ghost tales. Originally West Virginians told these hundred stories not for idle amusement but to report supernatural experiences that defied ordinary human explanation. From jealous rivals and ghostly children to murdered kinsmen and omens of death, these tales reflect the inner lives—the hopes, beliefs, and fears—of a people. Like all folklore, these tales reveal much of the history of the region: its isolation and violence, the passions and bloodshed of the Civil War era, the hardships of miners and railroad laborers, and the lingering vitality of Old World traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuneiform records made some three thousand years ago are the basis for this essay on the ideas of death and the afterlife and the story of the flood which were current among the ancient peoples of the Tigro-Euphrates Valley.
