Book Synopsis Embark Painted Roads by : Adam Conkey
Download or read book Embark Painted Roads written by Adam Conkey and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-10-28 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are caught within the walls of our experience, unable to properly understand how our neighbors are living. But, we have our art, our arsenal of expression to breach these barriers. We may understand another by interacting with their work, and in so doing, find that we are not alone in what we do. Embark Painted Roads is a collection of work written by Adam Conkey, a man living a life. This is no anthology, no self-help book, and it will tell you very little directly. This collection holds poems, small passages, one-line phrases, short essays, whatever form of written word this man required to indicate how he is living. From an appeal for us all to live profusely to the confessions of a loner, Embark Painted Roads is the door of a man's life left ajar, an invitation for others to see what they might relate to, and what they might be missing.
Download or read book Hartwell Road written by Reg Darling and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We've all traveled Hartwell Road but most of us have not explored it as deeply and thoughtfully as Reg Darling. Hartwell Road is an internal place, a touchstone that centers and nourishes us - a place that contains our experience and provides a route to our own true nature. Darling's journey wends though a terrain rich in folk wisdom and communion with the real world (minus all the consumerist crap); it meanders through the philosophy of art and the sublime act of creation; it traverses the wonders of sexual passion and the ultimate solace of true love; it cuts back into a maze of drug-induced insights and the pristine clearing of deep spiritual conviction; it climbs through the bonds we build with the people around us and the inevitable physical end of those connections; and it plows headlong into the necessity of political activism and the bravery of standing against popular notions about what it means to "be free." This book will likely induce tears as it transports you through reflections on the connections and losses in your own life - a process at once painful and glorious. This is a book that will speak directly to the non-conforming spirits of the baby-boom generation - especially as we navigate the mounting upheavals and uncertainties of the 21st Century and come to grips with our own impending mortality. While Hartwell Road sometimes seems exotic and foreign, we round the bend and realize it is the same road that we too have been walking, only seen from a slightly different and meticulously well-rendered point of view. Dan R. Talley is an arts administrator, curator, and critic who has been involved in the making, exhibiting, and analysis of contemporary art for over 30 years. He is a practicing vegetarian and a long-time animal rights advocate who, nonetheless, finds Darling's sensitive and deeply felt philosophy about the order of nature strangely compatible with his own.

Book Synopsis Journeys on the Silk Road by : Joyce Morgan
Download or read book Journeys on the Silk Road written by Joyce Morgan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a Chinese monk broke into a hidden cave in 1900, he uncovered one of the world’s great literary secrets: a time capsule from the ancient Silk Road. Inside, scrolls were piled from floor to ceiling, undisturbed for a thousand years. The gem within was the Diamond Sutra of AD 868. This key Buddhist teaching, made 500 years before Gutenberg inked his press, is the world’s oldest printed book. The Silk Road once linked China with the Mediterranean. It conveyed merchants, pilgrims and ideas. But its cultures and oases were swallowed by shifting sands. Central to the Silk Road’s rediscovery was a man named Aurel Stein, a Hungarian-born scholar and archaeologist employed by the British service. Undaunted by the vast Gobi Desert, Stein crossed thousands of desolate miles with his fox terrier Dash. Stein met the Chinese monk and secured the Diamond Sutra and much more. The scroll’s journey—by camel through arid desert, by boat to London’s curious scholars, by train to evade the bombs of World War II—merges an explorer’s adventures, political intrigue, and continued controversy. The Diamond Sutra has inspired Jack Kerouac and the Dalai Lama. Its journey has coincided with the growing appeal of Buddhism in the West. As the Gutenberg Age cedes to the Google Age, the survival of the Silk Road’s greatest treasure is testament to the endurance of the written word.

Download or read book The Road to Ruins written by Ian Graham and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who ever wanted to be an archaeologist, Ian Graham could be a hero. This lively memoir chronicles Graham's career as the "last explorer" and a fierce advocate for the protection and preservation of Maya sites and monuments across Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. It is also full of adventure and high society, for the self-deprecating Graham traveled to remote lands such as Afghanistan in wonderful company. He tells entertaining stories about his encounters with a host of notables beginning with Rudyard Kipling, a family friend from Graham's childhood.Born in 1923 into an aristocratic family descended from Oliver Cromwell, Ian Graham was educated at Winchester, Cambridge, and Trinity College, Dublin. His career in Mesoamerican archaeology can be said to have begun in 1959 when he turned south in his Rolls Royce and began traveling through the Maya lowlands photographing ruins. He has worked as an artist, cartographer, and photographer, and has mapped and documented inscriptions at hundreds of Maya sites, persevering under rugged field conditions. Graham is best known as the founding director of the Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions Program at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University. He was awarded a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" in 1981, and he remained the Maya Corpus program director until his retirement in 2004. Graham's careful recordings of Maya inscriptions are often credited with making the deciphering of Maya hieroglyphics possible. But it is the romance of his work and the graceful conversational style of his writing that make this autobiography must reading not just for Mayanists but for anyone with a taste for the adventure of archaeology.

Book Synopsis The Painted Drum by : Louise Erdrich
Download or read book The Painted Drum written by Louise Erdrich and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Haunted and haunting. . . . With fearlessness and humility, in a narrative that flows more artfully than ever between destruction and rebirth, Erdrich has opened herself to possibilities beyond what we merely see—to the dead alive and busy, to the breath of trees and the souls of wolves—and inspires readers to open their hearts to these mysteries as well.”— Washington Post Book World From the author of the National Book Award Winner The Round House, Louise Erdrich's breathtaking, lyrical novel of a priceless Ojibwe artifact and the effect it has had on those who have come into contact with it over the years. While appraising the estate of a New Hampshire family descended from a North Dakota Indian agent, Faye Travers is startled to discover a rare moose skin and cedar drum fashioned long ago by an Ojibwe artisan. And so begins an illuminating journey both backward and forward in time, following the strange passage of a powerful yet delicate instrument, and revealing the extraordinary lives it has touched and defined. Compelling and unforgettable, Louise Erdrich's Painted Drum explores the often-fraught relationship between mothers and daughters, the strength of family, and the intricate rhythms of grief with all the grace, wit, and startling beauty that characterizes this acclaimed author's finest work.
