Download or read book Cow Country Essay's and a Little Slantwise Logic written by Chip Hines and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cow Country Essay's and a Little Slantwise Logic takes a hard hitting look at the failings of our Land Grant Universities to understand how profit on cattle operations is derived. They have been swayed by technology to attempt implementing technological solutions into the industry while ignoring the environment WHICH is our industry. We can no longer separate the environment from our industry. It is one and the same. Without a true understanding of the environment we are stumbling in the dark. The Land Grant Universities have failed to look around and see that the true innovators are close to the land, not sitting in front of computers perusing thousands of numbers that have little to do with what counts in profitability or reviving our grassland environments. This book contains the philosophy and direction that is lacking in university teachings. The knowledge contained herein is a combination or research and observations from the land. The natural world must be observed to learn how to manage within its parameters. Numbers alone cannot do this. University research is designed to pull out the variables to give a clean result. The person on the land has to work with the variables. They have to be observed and added into daily planning. The environment is a living, being, thing, not an abstract figment to be set aside until a later date. The Cattle Industry has to face up to the challenges of the 21st Century. There is no other choice.
Book Synopsis The Empathy Exams by : Leslie Jamison
Download or read book The Empathy Exams written by Leslie Jamison and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From personal loss to phantom diseases, The Empathy Exams is a bold and brilliant collection, winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize A Publishers Weekly Top Ten Essay Collection of Spring 2014 Beginning with her experience as a medical actor who was paid to act out symptoms for medical students to diagnose, Leslie Jamison's visceral and revealing essays ask essential questions about our basic understanding of others: How should we care about each other? How can we feel another's pain, especially when pain can be assumed, distorted, or performed? Is empathy a tool by which to test or even grade each other? By confronting pain—real and imagined, her own and others'—Jamison uncovers a personal and cultural urgency to feel. She draws from her own experiences of illness and bodily injury to engage in an exploration that extends far beyond her life, spanning wide-ranging territory—from poverty tourism to phantom diseases, street violence to reality television, illness to incarceration—in its search for a kind of sight shaped by humility and grace.

Download or read book A Mercy written by Toni Morrison and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-08-11 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful tragedy distilled into a small masterpiece by the Nobel Prize-winning author of Beloved and, almost like a prelude to that story, set two centuries earlier. Jacob is an Anglo-Dutch trader in 1680s United States, when the slave trade is still in its infancy. Reluctantly he takes a small slave girl in part payment from a plantation owner for a bad debt. Feeling rejected by her slave mother, 14-year-old Florens can read and write and might be useful on his farm. Florens looks for love, first from Lina, an older servant woman at her new master's house, but later from the handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved, who comes riding into their lives . . . At the novel's heart, like Beloved, it is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother and a daughter – a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment.
