Download or read book Caedmon's Song written by Ruth Ashby and published by Eerdmans Young Readers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago, when hardly anyone knew how to read or write, people recited stories by heart. They sat around the hearth at night, telling of heroes and monsters, great battles fought, and fortunes made and lost. On feast days, they passed the harp around the room so that everyone could sing a poem. But when the harp reached Caedmon, his thoughts dried up. He opened his mouth and nothing at all came out. It was embarrassing. No wonder he hated poetry. A quiet man who loved tending his cows, Caedmon couldn't recite poetry because he thought he had no stories to tell. Then after one especially upsetting experience, Caedmon stormed home, fell asleep in the barn, and began to dream. That night, everything changed for Caedmon . . . With jovial, heartwarming illustrations and beautifully illuminated letters, this tale is based on the true story of Caedmon, the seventh-century cowherd who became known as the first English poet.

Book Synopsis The Lazarus Rumba by : Ernesto Mestre
Download or read book The Lazarus Rumba written by Ernesto Mestre and published by Picador. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern tale rooted in recent historical events but filtered through a patiently unfolding storytelling style that pays homage to The Arabian Nights, The Lazarus Rumba is a stunning literary debut, a virtuoso performance like no other Latino writer has ever produced. This extraordinary ambitious novel sets out to portray the spiritual landscape of the Cuban people in the wake of Castro's revolutionary upheaval. Like Cervantes' Don Quixote, The Lazarus Rumba describes a country best by social dislocation and personal confusion, a country whose soul is best captured by a lush magic realism woven from innumerable tales, tales told contrapuntally in voices both melancholy and lively, lyrical and coarse, delicate and grotesque. As intensely political as Manuel Puig's Kiss Of The Spider Woman or Milan Kundera's The Book Of Laughter And Forgetting, The Lazarus Rumba centers around three generations of women in the Lucientes family and follows the story of Alicia Lucientes as she almost inadvertantly becomes the most famous dissident on the Island.

Book excerpt: Luke I surrendered a second chance for love because of my best friend. But now, I vow not to let another chance pass me by. Once fate brings me another opportunity for true love, I will fight for it, even if the risk of pain was high. But fate was stupid, no, it was cruel. Instead of bringing me a new love, it brought me an old love One that was full of scars and hatred One that made me hate love in the past. Luke Lemming surrendered his love when the attraction between Charlotte and Ben became clear. But he didn't lose hope in love. Instead, he threw away his anger and hatred against a past lover, Alexa Paisley, and hoped for a new love in Hood River. But, fate tangled his heart back to Alexa. He didn't want to take revenge on her. His only wish was to make Alexa regret her decision to abandon him. To do that, he promised to find his happiness before she could find hers. Things took a wrong turn when he discovered that Alexa had been living a good life and will be marrying Conrad Dupont, the "prince" of Hood River. SHE CAN'T HAVE ALL THE HAPPINESS! Luke impulsively vowed to never let that happen. But what if they are each other's happiness? Will Luke impulsiveness ruin their romance? Or will it bring him true love, just as it once did for Charlotte and his best friend, Ben? Owning Alexa is the fourth book of The Bad Blue Curvy Romances, a series of stand-alone HEA romances between blue-collar workers and the beautiful, feisty, and curvy women of Hood River. If you wish to know Luke before Owning Alexa, read Controlling Charlotte, the third book of this series. DISCLAIMER: Though it promises a sweet and happy romance, the story contains some dark and erotic scenes, such as forced sex and dubious consent. If you are not interested in these types of erotic scenes, then this book might not be for you. But beware. The romance could be the fantasy you yearn for. So don't miss out! The book is intended for mature audiences.
Download or read book Composed written by Rob McKenna and published by Dustjacket Media. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed: The Heart and Science of Leading Under Pressure is a roadmap for standing firmly in who we are while staying connected to those who matter most to us - especially when high-pressure moments come. It doesn't matter whether you are a CEO, parent, manager, or student, none of us are immune to the possibility of losing it when the pressure is on. For some people, public speaking is a fear. Maybe conflict makes you uncomfortable. For others, simply being responsible for the experience or learning of others causes you anxiety. Even for seasoned leaders who face pressure every day, showing up their best can be tough. Whether pressure makes us feel incompetent and unworthy, or mean and reactive, the impact of losing our composure is significant. Our capacity to compose ourselves when the pressure is highest, to lead strong, and to lead with care in the most difficult situations of conflict and anxiety may have the single greatest impact on our families, our teams, our organizations, and the world that surrounds us. The stakes are too high for us and for those we love to wait any longer. Composed: The Heart and Science of Leading Under Pressure is based on our research on the developmental journey of thousands of leaders who have taken the Leading Under Pressure Inventory. This inventory is one of eight whole leader development tools in the WiLD Toolkit. To access the Leading Under Pressure Inventory or the entire suite of tools for yourself, your small group, team, organization, or coaching practice, visit www.wildtoolkit.com.
