Book Synopsis A Curious Life by : Thomas H. Haines
Download or read book A Curious Life written by Thomas H. Haines and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Curious Life chronicles the remarkable life of preeminent biochemist Thomas Haines. Born in 1933, Haines was barely four when he was sent by court order to The Graham School, an orphanage in Hastings-on-Hudson NY founded in 1806 by Isabella Graham and Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. His trajectory is a series of radical reversals: from penniless orphan to innovative scientist and educator; from right-wing McCarthyite to left-wing activist; founder of the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education of The City University of New York, a medical school designed to bring in low-income and minority students; New York City landlord; husband of a successful artist whom he nursed through a long illness; father of a brilliant and prominent daughter. Now eighty-six, Haines is Professor Emeritus at the Rockefeller Institute and the only alumnus of the Graham School to serve on its board. A diminutive dynamo in a bow tie, Dr. Haines recently participated on a panel at the Smithsonian Museum of American History, and jogs every morning at four a.m. in Central Park. Above all a formidable storyteller, Haines provides an intimate look at his relationships and conveys the excitement of a life in science. “Who could have possibly imagined that the four-year-old boy looking out at the sunset across the Hudson River from the grounds of the Graham School would have been able to live such an incredible and productive life? From abandoned toddler, to homeless vagabond, to research chemist, to husband and father, to university professor, to innovative educator, to New York building landlord, Tom has always placed a premium on personal connections and interactions. He has benefitted from the kindness of strangers and mentorship, and in turn he has mentored and helped countless others along the way on his amazing life’s journey. What a lucky life he has lived.” —Thomas P. Sakmar, “Foreword” “Tom combines a charming, generous and curious demeanor with a fierce inner determination to understand the world and how it works. Perhaps because of his unconventional childhood, Tom has spent his life challenging conventional wisdom. As you will experience in Mindy Lewis’s fabulous telling of Tom’s life, the world is a more enchanting place with Dr. Haines in it.” —Jess Dannhauser, “Introduction”

Book Synopsis The Complete Works of Winston Churchill by : Winston Churchill
Download or read book The Complete Works of Winston Churchill written by Winston Churchill and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 7250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was born under the Blue Ridge, and under that side which is blue in the evening light, in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters. There, on the borders of a creek that runs into the Yadkin River, in a cabin that was chinked with red mud, I came into the world a subject of King George the Third, in that part of his realm known as the province of North Carolina. The cabin reeked of corn-pone and bacon, and the odor of pelts. It had two shakedowns, on one of which I slept under a bearskin. A rough stone chimney was reared outside, and the fireplace was as long as my father was tall. There was a crane in it, and a bake kettle; and over it great buckhorns held my father's rifle when it was not in use. On other horns hung jerked bear's meat and venison hams, and gourds for drinking cups, and bags of seed, and my father's best hunting shirt; also, in a neglected corner, several articles of woman's attire from pegs. These once belonged to my mother. Among them was a gown of silk, of a fine, faded pattern, over which I was wont to speculate. The women at the Cross-Roads, twelve miles away, were dressed in coarse butternut wool and huge sunbonnets. But when I questioned my father on these matters he would give me no answers. My father was—how shall I say what he was? To this day I can only surmise many things of him. He was a Scotchman born, and I know now that he had a slight Scotch accent. At the time of which I write, my early childhood, he was a frontiersman and hunter. I can see him now, with his hunting shirt and leggings and moccasins; his powder horn, engraved with wondrous scenes; his bullet pouch and tomahawk and hunting knife. He was a tall, lean man with a strange, sad face. And he talked little save when he drank too many "horns," as they were called in that country. These lapses of my father's were a perpetual source of wonder to me,—and, I must say, of delight. They occurred only when a passing traveller who hit his fancy chanced that way, or, what was almost as rare, a neighbor. Many a winter night I have lain awake under the skins, listening to a flow of language that held me spellbound, though I understood scarce a word of it.

Book Synopsis Life in the U.S. Armed Forces by : Anni Baker
Download or read book Life in the U.S. Armed Forces written by Anni Baker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-12-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anni Baker has created a fascinating exploration of life in the armed forces, as it has been experienced by millions of men, women, and children over the past six decades. Her book examines the factors that shape military service and military culture, from grueling training exercises to sexual relations with local women, from overseas duty to the peculiar life of the military brat. The book begins with an examination of the enlistment process, follows the military lifecycle through career decisions, promotions, raising families, and retirement, explores the impact of war on military society, and ends with a discussion of the place of the armed forces in the United States. A wide variety of sources were used in this study, including contemporary scholarship, government and military records, public media, and, most important, interviews and written materials from military personnel, retirees, family members, and civilian employees. Using a lively and readable style, Baker blends clear explanations of elements of military life, information on the development of military society, and the voices of those who serve into an insightful account of this fascinating subculture. It is the author's view that not only is study of the U.S. military a valuable undertaking in itself, but in addition it will enrich our perspective on civilian life and culture in the United States. The military is a distinct society based on a set of common values that are sometimes, though not always, at odds with those of civilian society. The extent to which active duty personnel, family members and civilians internalize these values dictates their comfort with military life and their choice of a military career. Through a discussion of life in the military, Baker examines how the values, traditions and norms of the armed forces are articulated and shared, how they influence the individual and the institution, and what their role is in American society as a whole.
Book Synopsis Are You Curious about Kurios? by : Gilberto Gonzalez Jr.
Download or read book Are You Curious about Kurios? written by Gilberto Gonzalez Jr. and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you curious about Kurios? What is this question all about? If Christians could answer this question then we might be able to answer many of the other questions that plague modern Christianity, such as: Why is the Christian divorce rate just as high as divorce rates among the lost? Why is it that eighty percent of the churches in North America are in decline? How do we know that the Christianity we practice is exactly what God envisioned the church to be? These answers can only be found through the power of God's word. God left the Bible as His living will and testament for mankind containing everything necessary for His people to follow in His perfect ways. The apostles took the message of the gospel and "turned world upside down" (Acts 17:6). The Reformers revived the power of the gospel, and Christianity and the world were forever changed. What could Christians do today if we reclaimed the power of God's word? Read for the answers and emerge with the truth! Gilberto Gonzalez Jr. obtained his Masters of Divinity in Theology from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. He also received a bachelor's degree in socio-cultural anthropology and a citation in world religions from University of Maryland, College Park. He planted a church with the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware and has been invited as a guest speaker for numerous churches. He has served in many functions including senior pastor, associate pastor, youth pastor, campus ministry, Christian education, military ministry, and racetrack chaplaincy.
Book Synopsis Sanctity of Life and Human Dignity by : K. Bayertz
Download or read book Sanctity of Life and Human Dignity written by K. Bayertz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Sanctity of life' and `human dignity' are two bioethical concepts that play an important role in bioethical discussions. Despite their separate history and content, they have similar functions in these discussions. In many cases they are used to bring a difficult or controversial debate to an end. They serve as unquestionable cornerstones of morality, as rocks able to weather the storms of moral pluralism. This book provides the reader with analyses of these two concepts from different philosophical, professional and cultural points of view. Sanctity of Life and Human Dignity presents a comparative analysis of both concepts.
