This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two travelers move through a wasteland. "The ultimate traveler lays buried here. Our names, like his, will forever be remembered." "What happens if we don't find it? We'll never make it out of here. This desert appears to be endless." "I can no longer tell where we began our journey, and I fear that I will forget what our destination is." The travelers share a look of concern. Then one of them gestures toward the distance. "We have to keep moving. Who knows, maybe finding the grave of Herodotus will restore all of our memories." The two travelers persist along their course. They observe how the wasteland appears to be same. Within moments, one of them feels a sudden wave of exhaustion. The other traveler observes him and asks, "Are you alright?" He watches as the other traveler lays on the sand now. "What is it? Speak to me!" The traveler looks around for any sign that they may be getting closer to their destination, but there is none. When he looks at his fellow traveler again, he sees that he is gone. The traveler remains firm regardless of the scorching heat. He forges ahead as he feels that the destination is near. After a few moments, he sees someone in the distance. He narrows his eyes and sees that it is his fellow traveler. "What are you doing there? You disappeared. What happened?" The traveler sees that the other traveler remains still and silent. When he approaches him, he watches him vanish into the air. "Where are you? I saw you! You were right here!" The traveler looks around in dismay. Then he decides to keep moving. The more distance he travels, the more things he forgets. The traveler fears that by the time he reaches his destination, everything he knows will simply vanish. Then he reassures himself with the possibility that finding the grave of the ultimate traveler will enable him to remember everything. His fellow traveler appears to him again. This time, the traveler instantly runs toward him. As soon as he gains a closer proximity to him, the other traveler vanishes once again. Then the traveler realizes that the other traveler guided him to his destination. He sees the grave of Herodotus a short distance away. When he arrives at the grave, he sees the words "Herein lies the unknown" at the bottom. Then memories resurface again, making him remember things that he forgot while in the deep desert. The traveler remembers that he was in this desert before, and that he got lost while trying to find his destination. The words on the grave trigger another memory: he never made out of the desert alive. Then he realizes that the other traveler was him, and that the mirage of the traveler was none other than him. The mirage led him here to discover that the desert erased all of his memories until there was nothing left of him. The unknown has already consumed him.
Book Synopsis The Solace of Fierce Landscapes: Exploring Desert and Mountain Spirituality by : Belden C. Lane
Download or read book The Solace of Fierce Landscapes: Exploring Desert and Mountain Spirituality written by Belden C. Lane and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-25 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Kathleen Norris, Terry Tempest Williams, and Thomas Merton, The Solace of Fierce Landscapes explores the impulse that has drawn seekers into the wilderness for centuries and offers eloquent testimony to the healing power of mountain silence and desert indifference. Interweaving a memoir of his mothers long struggle with Alzheimers and cancer, meditations on his own wilderness experience, and illuminating commentary on the Christian via negativa--a mystical tradition that seeks God in the silence beyond language--Lane rejects the easy affirmations of pop spirituality for the harsher but more profound truths that wilderness can teach us. There is an unaccountable solace that fierce landscapes offer to the soul. They heal, as well as mirror, the brokeness we find within. It is this apparent paradox that lies at the heart of this remarkable book: that inhuman landscapes should be the source of spiritual comfort. Lane shows that the very indifference of the wilderness can release us from the demands of the endlessly anxious ego, teach us to ignore the inessential in our own lives, and enable us to transcend the false self that is ever-obsessed with managing impressions. Drawing upon the wisdom of St. John of the Cross, Meister Eckhardt, Simone Weil, Edward Abbey, and many other Christian and non-Christian writers, Lane also demonstrates how those of us cut off from the wilderness might make some desert in our lives. Written with vivid intelligence, narrative ease, and a gracefulness that is itself a comfort, The Solace of Fierce Landscapes gives us not only a description but a performance of an ancient and increasingly relevant spiritual tradition.
Book Synopsis The History of Forgetting by : Norman M. Klein
Download or read book The History of Forgetting written by Norman M. Klein and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles is a city which has long thrived on the continual re-creation of own myth. In this extraordinary and original work, Norman Klein examines the process of memory erasure in LA. Using a provocative mixture of fact and fiction, the book takes us on an 'anti-tour' of downtown LA, examines life for Vietnamese immigrants in the City of Dreams, imagines Walter Benjamin as a Los Angeleno, and finally looks at the way information technology has recreated the city, turning cyberspace into the last suburb. In this new edition, Norman Klein examines new models for erasure in LA. He explores the evolution of the Latino majority, how the Pacific economy is changing the structure of urban life, the impact of collapsing infrastructure in the city, and the restructuring of those very districts that had been 'forgotten'.

Download or read book Mopokes and Mirages written by Rex Ellis and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mopokes and Mirages — both part of the great Australian Folklore, but neither having much substance. No such bird as a mopoke (see the Introduction to this book)and a bit hard to get your hand or mind around a mirage. Mopokes and Mirages is Rex Ellis’ eighth book, but unlike the title it is full of substance. Once started it is like taking the lid off a Pandora’s box – the stories (all true) and accounts that spill out are as varied as he rich landscapes and wildlife of the Australian continent itself. No subject is sacred to this South Australian Bushie – from how he acquired the iconic Birdsville Pub, to how he acquired’ or yarded up his wife Patti. More of his company’s great desert camel expeditions, his legendary inland boat safaris to Lake Eyre and other places, and a long chapter on four wheel drive vehicles he has owned over his forty five years as an outback guide. There are his regular chapters Bureaucracy and the Shinybum Brigade, and Along the rocky road of life! Throughout, his love and knowledge of this country, flora and fauna, particularly birds, is evident, as is his obvious concern for the health of the Australian environment. Last but not least is his great passion for his paddle wheeler, the sixty foot sternwheeler Dromedary. Of particular interest is his ongoing journey up the Darling River, getting the Dromedary to places where no large vessel has been for nearly a hundred years. A great read for lovers of the Land of Oz.

Book excerpt: Viscount Blakeney has experienced prejudice from both sides of his heritage, but a promise to his dying English grandfather has forced him to divide his time between Britain and his beautiful Sahara, where he is Sheikh Altair Mazir. When he witnesses the British Museum rejecting Alexandra Talbot’s request for help finding the lost city of Per Ramesses, he’s compelled to come to her aid, but first he dons his desert robes to hide his identity. Alexandra has endured a lifetime of men dismissing her intelligence because she’s a woman. But unlike other men, the mysterious Altair doesn’t question her abilities or whether she’ll find the Per Ramesses. The only thing he questions is why she won’t give in to the temptation of untold pleasure. Desire flares under the desert stars, but murder and betrayal make for a deadly quest, and trust is the only thing that will keep them alive.

Book Synopsis 2 Weeks To A Younger Brain by : Gary Small
Download or read book 2 Weeks To A Younger Brain written by Gary Small and published by Humanix Books. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Gary Small and Gigi Vorgan’s 2 Weeks To A Younger Brain translates the latest brain science into practical strategies and exercises that yield quick and long- lasting benefits. Misplacing your keys, forgetting someone’s name at a party, or coming home from the market without the most important item — these are just some of the many common memory slips we all experience from time to time. But such cognitive lapses don’t just plague middle-agers and seniors; UCLA studies indicate that forgetfulness begins much earlier in life. Scientists can detect subtle changes in the brain that coincide with mental decline by the time we reach age 40, and our findings show that people as young as 20 already have memory problems. 2 Weeks to a Younger Brain will not only improve your memory, but will also strengthen your physical health by reducing your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. The latest research confirms that there is a lot we can do to boost our memory and keep our brains young. After three decades of helping thousands of patients improve their memory and mental acuity, Dr. Small and Gorgan are convinced that our daily lifestyle habits are directly linked to our brain health. This book will show that it only takes two weeks to form new habits that bolster cognitive abilities and help stave off, or even reverse, brain aging. If you commit only 14 days to 2 Weeks To A Younger Brain, you will reap noticeable results. During that brief period, you will have learned the secrets to keeping your brain young for the rest of your life.
Book Synopsis Sailor in the Desert by : David Gunn
Download or read book Sailor in the Desert written by David Gunn and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailor in the Desert is the personal account of a Royal Navy sailor's experiences during the Mesopotamian campaign of 1915. As an able seaman on an armed sloop supporting the British expedition up the River Tigris, Philip Gunn's recollections give a rare perspective of this ill-fated campaign.At the outbreak of war, Phillip Gunn was serving on HMS Clio, a naval sloop fitted with sails and guns stationed in China and immediately tasked with hunting the soon-to-be-famous German cruiser Emden, but failed to prevent her escape. Gunn and Clio were next in action defending the Suez Canal against an attempted Turkish invasion before joining the expedition to invade Turkish-held Mesopotamia (Iraq). When the River Tigris became too shallow for Clio, Gunn took over a Calcutta River Police launch. He towed improvised gunboats to bombard the enemy in close support of the advancing land forces, whose assaults on enemy positions he witnessed. Though he repeatedly came under fire, it was malaria which finally struck him down during the pivotal Battle of Ctesiphon. He was fortunate to survive the journey back downriver. Sailor in the Desert is an authentic account drawn from Phillip Gunn's unpublished memoirs as well as conversations with the author, his son David. It is illustrated with archive photographs and colour paintings by Philip Gunn himself.As featured in the Cotswold Journal and Aberdeen Press & Journal.
