Book Synopsis Here We Are by : Aarti Namdev Shahani
Download or read book Here We Are written by Aarti Namdev Shahani and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here We Are is a heart-wrenching memoir about an immigrant family's American Dream, the justice system that took it away, and the daughter who fought to get it back, from NPR correspondent Aarti Namdev Shahani. The Shahanis came to Queens—from India, by way of Casablanca—in the 1980s. They were undocumented for a few unsteady years and then, with the arrival of their green cards, they thought they'd made it. This is the story of how they did, and didn't; the unforeseen obstacles that propelled them into years of disillusionment and heartbreak; and the strength of a family determined to stay together. Here We Are: American Dreams, American Nightmares follows the lives of Aarti, the precocious scholarship kid at one of Manhattan's most elite prep schools, and her dad, the shopkeeper who mistakenly sells watches and calculators to the notorious Cali drug cartel. Together, the two represent the extremes that coexist in our country, even within a single family, and a truth about immigrants that gets lost in the headlines. It isn’t a matter of good or evil; it's complicated. Ultimately, Here We Are is a coming-of-age story, a love letter from an outspoken modern daughter to her soft-spoken Old World father. She never expected they'd become best friends.

Book excerpt: This novel of love in the world of 1950s vaudeville is a masterwork of literary magic from the Booker Prize-winning author of Last Orders and Mothering Sunday It is 1959 in Brighton, England, and the theater at the end of the famous pier is having its best summer season in years. Ronnie, a brilliant young magician, and Evie, his dazzling assistant, are top of the bill, drawing a full house every night. And Jack is everyone’s favorite master of ceremonies, holding the whole show together. But as the summer progresses, the drama among the three begins to overshadow their success onstage, setting in motion events that will reshape their lives. Vividly realized, tenderly comic, and quietly shattering, Here We Are is a masterly work of literary magic.
Download or read book Here We Are written by Oliver Jeffers and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestseller A TIME Magazine Best Book of the Year A NPR Best Book of 2017 A Boston Globe Best Book of 2017 "Moments of human intimacy jostle with scenes that inspire cosmic awe, and the broad diversity of Jeffers's candy-colored humans...underscores the twin messages that 'You're never alone on Earth' and that we're all in this together."--Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "A true work of art."--BuzzFeed Oliver Jeffers, arguably the most influential creator of picture books today, offers a rare personal look inside his own hopes and wishes for his child--and in doing so gifts children and parents everywhere with a gently sweet and humorous missive about our world and those who call it home. Insightfully sweet, with a gentle humor and poignancy, here is Oliver Jeffers' user's guide to life on Earth. He created it specially for his son, yet with a universality that embraces all children and their parents. Be it a complex view of our planet's terrain (bumpy, sharp, wet), a deep look at our place in space (it’s big), or a guide to all of humanity (don’t be fooled, we are all people), Oliver's signature wit and humor combine with a value system of kindness and tolerance to create a must-have book for parents. Praise for Here We Are: -"A sweet and tender distillation of what every Earthling needs to know and might well spend a lifetime striving to achieve. A must-purchase for new parent shelves"--School Library Journal -"From the skies to the animal kingdom to the people of the world and lots of other beautifully rendered examples of life on Earth, Here We Are carries a simple message: Be kind." --NPR -"[An] enchanting gem of a children's book"--NBC's Today Show -"A must-have book for parents."--Gambit -"A celebration of people all shapes and sizes, and of the beauty and mystery of our Earth."--Booklist -"...a beautifully illustrated guide to living on Earth and being a good person."--Brightly -[Here We Are] is a tour through the land, the sea, the sky, our bodies; dioramas of our wild diversity....[Jeffers] is the master of capturing the joy in our differences."--New York Times Book Review
Book Synopsis Rebirth of Rhetoric by : Richard Andrews
Download or read book Rebirth of Rhetoric written by Richard Andrews and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebirth of Rhetoric brings together contributions from several fields to provide a forum in which a unifying theory for language and literature studies can be debated.The book does not aim to resurrect classical Renaissance rhetoric, but to remake it within a contemporary context. The context of texts (both spoken and written) is one of the main emphases of this collection, whether it is the ideology informing the text, or the way in which a text is transformed by its audience. The book also aims to present a range of practical approaches to the study of texts of all kinds: literary; televisual; film and photography. It also argues the case for developments in the Arts and Humanities which will bring together people working in Education, Linguistics, Composition, Literature and Cultural Studies.
Download or read book Well, Here We Are! written by J. Beck and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bans and Bertha Hanson and their children arrived in Mountain Iron, Minnesota, on the Mesabi Iron Range in 1892. John and Hulda Beck and their children arrived there in 1906. After they arrived, both families had more children and both lost some children. The four parents all worked very hard and made very little money. But they had dreams that their surviving children could have more comfortable lives if they could get an education which they had been denied. The two families were brought together in 1922 when the Becks' oldest son married the Hansons' oldest daughter--the first marriage for both families. Well, Here We Are! is a record of what is known about the ancestors and descendants of Bans and Bertha and John and Hulda. It is a remarkable story of how the dreams of four minimally educated people came true, largely as a result of their hard work and sacrifice, but even more because they succeeded in making their children believe in those dreams and passed them on to following generations.

Book Synopsis Interculturality Between East and West by : Fred Dervin
Download or read book Interculturality Between East and West written by Fred Dervin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-05 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book urges readers to develop a radical capacity to unthink and rethink interculturality, through multiple, pluri-perspectival and honest dialogues between the authors, and their students. This book does not give interculturality a normative scaffolding but envisages it differently by identifying some of its polyphonic textures. China’s rich engagement with interculturality serves to support the importance of being curious about other ways of thinking about the notion beyond the ‘West’ only. As such, the issues of culture, identity, language, translation, intercultural competence and silent transformations (amongst others) are re-evaluated in a different light. This is a highly informative and carefully presented book, providing scientific insights for readers with an interest in interculturality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2024 Writers’ Prize in Fiction • Shortlisted for the 2024 Women’s Prize for Fiction • Named a Best Book of the Summer by The Guardian and The Times • Named one of Publishers Weekly’s Top 10 Books of 2023, one of the Washington Post’s 50 Notable Works of Fiction, and a Best Book of the Year by Time, The New Yorker, Kirkus Reviews, The Guardian, Library Journal, Harper's Bazaar, The Conversation, and Kobo Canada From Booker-prize winning author Anne Enright, an astonishing novel about the love between mother and daughter—sometimes fierce, often painful, but always transcendent. "Carmel had been alone all her life. She had been alone since she was twelve years old. The baby knew all this. They looked at each other; one life into another life, and the baby knew exactly how alone her mother had been." Nell—funny, brave and so much loved—is a young woman with adventure on her mind. As she sets out into the world, she finds her family history hard to escape. For her mother, Carmel, Nell's leaving home opens a space in her heart, where the turmoil of a lifetime begins to churn. And across the generations falls the long shadow of Carmel's famous father, an Irish poet of beautiful words and brutal actions. This is a meditation on love: spiritual, romantic, darkly sexual or genetic. A generational saga that traces the inheritance not just of trauma but also of wonder, it is a testament to the glorious resilience of women in the face of promises false and true. Above all, it is an exploration of the love between mother and daughter - sometimes fierce, often painful, but always transcendent.

There’s still a space race. Our spa[ce] … our Rachel Crane reports, this time, it’s the billionaires who are competing against each other to take us far, far away. RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Bezos, Branson [and] Musk—the three billionaires racing towards space. With NASA focusing more on its Moon and Mars missions, the opportunities for the [three billionaires] have never been better. So, what exactly are their ambitions? Simply, it seems to be: get humans to space for tourism, exploration and, perhaps, even colonization. Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic seems to be the most tourism-focused. RICHARD BRANSON, FOUNDER, VIRGIN GALACTIC I got frustrated [with] the fact that I couldn’t go up on a NASA spaceship or Russian spaceship, so [I] decided to build a spaceline. RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT The company had a successful test in February, sending its crewed SpaceShipTwo 88 kilometers above Earth—the company’s second time to space. Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin also has tourism goals, but he’s recently announced he’s setting his sights on the Moon. JEFF BEZOS, FOUNDER, BLUE ORIGIN It’s time to go back to the Moon—this time to stay. The price of admission to do interesting things in space right now is just too high because there’s no infrastructure. RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT The company has introduced a new lunar lander concept and already began testing an engine the lander would use. However, it’s Elon Musk’s SpaceX that’s been getting the most liftoff action. It’s been handling cargo missions to the International Space Station since 2012, and its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets have proven they have the muscle for space travel. ELON MUSK, FOUNDER, SPACEX I think it’s gonna give the government options. So, it’s good to have options for advancement of human spaceflight, and yeah, the competition’s a good thing. RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT But it’s SpaceX’s Crew Dragon that has gained recent attention. It could be the first American spacecraft to carry NASA astronauts to space since 2011. While it had a successful mission in March, April brought major setbacks when the company confirmed the craft was destroyed during another test. Still, where it stands, all three companies have yet to send people into orbit, but it’s looking more promising every day. RICHARD BRANSON, FOUNDER, VIRGIN GALACTIC I think the exciting thing for the world now is that you have Jeff, you have Elon [and] you have ourselves creating different approaches to take people into space [and] to colonize places like the Moon in future years. So, an incredible new era of space exploration has arrived. RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Rachel Crane, CNN, New York. CNN主播 喬治．豪威爾 本週要繼續本台這個月的特別報導「登月五十年」，因為首度登陸月球的週年紀念即將到來──五十年了。現在還是有一場太空競賽。我們的太空……本台記者芮秋．奎恩報導指出，這次是億萬富翁們之間的競爭，要帶我們到很遠、很遠的地方。 CNN特派員 芮秋．奎恩 貝佐斯、布蘭森和馬斯克──這三位億萬富翁爭相航向太空。由於美國太空總署重點較多放在月球和火星任務上，這三位億萬富翁的機會再好不過了。 那麼，他們的野心究竟是什麼呢？簡單來說，似乎是把人類送上太空觀光、探索，或許甚至是殖民。理查．布蘭森的維珍銀河公司似乎是最以旅遊為重心的。 維珍銀河創辦人 理查．布蘭森 我因為不能搭美國太空總署的太空船或是俄國的太空船上太空而感到很挫折，所以我決定創立一家航太公司。 CNN特派員 芮秋．奎恩 該公司在二月時進行了一次成功的試飛，把載有組員的太空船二號送到地球上方八十八公里處，這是該公司第二次進入太空。 傑夫．貝佐斯的藍色起源公司也有觀光的目標，不過他日前宣布他要把目光放在月球上。 藍色起源創辦人 傑夫．貝佐斯 該是回到月球的時候了──這一次要留下來。現在要在太空中執行有趣事情的進場代價實在是太高了，因為那裡沒有基礎建設。 CNN特派員 芮秋．奎恩 該公司推出了一具新的概念登月車，而且已經開始測試該輛登陸車所使用的引擎。 不過，升空活動最多的是伊隆．馬斯克的SpaceX。從二○一二年開始，該公司就在執行國際太空站的載貨補給任務了，而且其獵鷹九號和獵鷹重型運載火箭已經證明他們擁有太空旅行的實力。 SpaceX創辦人 伊隆．馬斯克 我想這會給政府一些選擇。人類太空飛行的進展能夠有不同的選擇是件好事，而且對啊，競爭是件好事。 CNN特派員 芮秋．奎恩 不過，近來備受關注的是SpaceX的載人龍飛船。它可能會是二○一一年以來第一艘載送美國太空總署太空人到太空的美國太空船。雖然三月時它執行了一場成功的任務，但四月卻遭遇重大挫敗，該公司證實太空船在另一次測試中被摧毀了。然而，以目前的情況看來，這三家公司都尚未送人進入軌道，不過情勢日益樂觀。 維珍銀河創辦人 理查．布蘭森 我想目前令世人興奮的事情就是，大家有傑夫、有伊隆，還有我們在開發不同的方式送人上太空，以及未來在像是月球的地方殖民。所以說，令人讚嘆的太空探索新時代已然來臨。 CNN特派員 芮秋．奎恩 本台記者芮秋．奎恩，在紐約的報導。 人物 Making a Dictator 獨裁者的養成史──你所不知道的金正恩 How Kim Jong Un’s Childhood Shaped Him 北韓領導人金正恩喜怒無常、難以捉摸，多次罔顧國際規範，並以極端手段在國內進行政治肅清。《華盛頓郵報》記者採訪金氏家族親戚和前助理，由童年事件分析金正恩性格的養成。 科技 Cosmic Ambition 三大億萬富翁的21世紀太空爭霸戰 Inside the Billionaires’ Battle for Space Supremacy Amazon創辦人貝佐斯、特斯拉創辦人馬斯克與維珍集團創辦人布蘭森，這三人的本業在不同的領域各據一方，但也都同時把目光望向太空旅行，開啟新世代太空競賽。 政治 A First for Caring 第一夫人──溫柔而堅定的力量 The Important Role of the First Ladies of the United States 美國第一夫人除了是總統的非正式顧問和擁護者，有時在政策和倡議的推動上也扮演著舉足輕重的角色。本文回顧美國近代第一夫人的特殊成就。 商業 Sweet Success 甜蜜好時光──好時巧克力王國 How Hershey’s Dominated the Chocolate World 美國食品大廠好時公司創立超過125年，旗下有好時巧克力片、好時之吻、銳滋花生醬巧克力杯等經典產品，更不斷推陳出新，滿足不同世代顧客的味蕾。 藝文 Beats, Breaks and Bass 鐵克諾電音雙人組 演繹DJ 的藝術 Techno Duo Pan-Pot Demonstrates the Art of DJing 德國柏林是鐵克諾電音的大本營，隱身在城市角落的表演空間孕育出許多知名音樂人。來自柏林的雙人組Pan-Pot展示DJ基本功，邀請各位體驗鐵克諾音樂的魅力！ 社會 Quiet Time 大笨鐘維修中 低調度過160歲生日 Big Ben Remains Silent on 160th Birthday as Restoration Work Continues 倫敦地標大笨鐘自2017年中起暫停鐘響，展開為期四年的修復工程，日前安靜地度過160歲生日。CNN特派員帶來大笨鐘最新的修復進度。 保育 Going Ape for Conservation 人類近親瀕臨滅絕 搶救黑猩猩大作戰 Looking at Chimpanzee Rehabilitation and Care at a Nonprofit Organization in Liberia 位於賴比瑞亞的一個保育機構致力於黑猩猩救援，保護這種與人類極為相似的靈長類動物不受滅絕威脅。 政治 Red, White and New 空軍一號換新裝 設計搶先看 President Trump Reveals Plans for a Revamped Air Force One 從甘迺迪總統時代沿用至今的美國總統專機塗裝即將有新面貌。川普總統日前公布空軍一號新設計，採美國國旗紅、白、藍配色，引發兩極評價。 社會 Ghost Town Comeback 美劇帶動觀光熱 核災鬼城車諾比現人潮 Chernobyl Experiences Tourism Boost after Hit TV Series 1986年爆發核災而遭棄城的車諾比，經過30多年的沉潛，如今因為熱門美劇再度成為世人焦點，甚至出現觀光潮。 旅遊 Turkish Delights 漫遊伊斯坦堡 品味道地土耳其烤肉 Sampling Büryani-Style Kebabs in Istanbul 香氣十足的烤肉是土耳其的經典料理。土耳其烤肉隨地區不同而各有風味，成為這個文化大熔爐在餐桌上的最佳體現。 CNN 全球瞭望 Trump Enters North Korea 川普成為首位踏入北韓的在任美國總統 Japan’s Asteroid Mission 日本探測器成功登陸小行星 England Wins Its First Cricket World Cup 板球世界盃 英格蘭奪隊史首冠 CNN主播教你唸 美國第一夫人 聽懂CNN 報導 Amazon Turns 25 電商龍頭Amazon 二十五年創新之路
