Book Synopsis The Authentic Swing by : Steven Pressfield
Download or read book The Authentic Swing written by Steven Pressfield and published by Black Irish Entertainment LLC. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story Behind THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE If you've read his books THE WAR OF ART and TURNING PRO, you know that for thirty years Steven Pressfield (GATES OF FIRE, THE AFGHAN CAMPAIGN etc.) wrote spec novel after spec novel before any publisher took him seriously. How did he finally break through? Ignoring just about every rule of commercial book publishing, Pressfield's "first" novel not only became a major bestseller (over 250,000 copies sold), it was adapted into a feature film directed by Robert Redford and starring Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. Where did he get the idea? What magical something did THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE have that his previous manuscripts lacked? Why did Pressfield decide to write a novel when he already had a well established screenwriting career? How does writing a publishable novel really work? Taking a page from John Steinbeck's classic JOURNAL OF A NOVEL, Steven Pressfield offers answers for these and scores of other practical writing questions in THE AUTHENTIC SWING.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander MacDonald guides us through his family’s mythic past as he recollects the heroic stories of his people: loggers, miners, drinkers, adventurers; men forever in exile, forever linked to their clan. There is the legendary patriarch who left the Scottish Highlands in 1779 and resettled in “the land of trees,” where his descendents became a separate Nova Scotia clan. There is the team of brothers and cousins, expert miners in demand around the world for their dangerous skills. And there is Alexander and his twin sister, who have left Cape Breton and prospered, yet are haunted by the past. Elegiac, hypnotic, by turns joyful and sad, No Great Mischief is a spellbinding story of family, loyalty, exile, and of the blood ties that bind us, generations later, to the land from which our ancestors came.

Book Synopsis Gutenberg’s Fingerprint by : Merilyn Simonds
Download or read book Gutenberg’s Fingerprint written by Merilyn Simonds and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate narrative exploring the past, present, and future of books Four seismic shifts have rocked human communication: the invention of writing, the alphabet, mechanical type and the printing press, and digitization. Poised over this fourth transition, e-reader in one hand, perfect-bound book in the other, Merilyn Simonds — author, literary maven, and early adopter — asks herself: what is lost and what is gained as paper turns to pixel? Gutenberg’s Fingerprint trolls the past, present, and evolving future of the book in search of an answer. Part memoir and part philosophical and historical exploration, the book finds its muse in Hugh Barclay, who produces gorgeous books on a hand-operated antique letterpress. As Simonds works alongside this born-again Gutenberg, and with her son to develop a digital edition of the same book, her assumptions about reading, writing, the nature of creativity, and the value of imperfection are toppled. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Times; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} Gutenberg’s Fingerprint is a timely and fascinating book that explores the myths, inventions, and consequences of the digital shift and how we read today.
Book Synopsis In Praise of Slowness by : Carl Honore
Download or read book In Praise of Slowness written by Carl Honore and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-04-14 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in the age of speed. We strain to be more efficient, to cram more into each minute, each hour, each day. Since the Industrial Revolution shifted the world into high gear, the cult of speed has pushed us to a breaking point. Consider these facts: Americans on average spend seventy-two minutes of every day behind the wheel of a car, a typical business executive now loses sixty-eight hours a year to being put on hold, and American adults currently devote on average a mere half hour per week to making love. Living on the edge of exhaustion, we are constantly reminded by our bodies and minds that the pace of life is spinning out of control. In Praise of Slowness traces the history of our increasingly breathless relationship with time and tackles the consequences of living in this accelerated culture of our own creation. Why are we always in such a rush? What is the cure for time sickness? Is it possible, or even desirable, to slow down? Realizing the price we pay for unrelenting speed, people all over the world are reclaiming their time and slowing down the pace -- and living happier, healthier, and more productive lives as a result. A Slow revolution is taking place. Here you will find no Luddite calls to overthrow technology and seek a preindustrial utopia. This is a modern revolution, championed by cell-phone using, e-mailing lovers of sanity. The Slow philosophy can be summed up in a single word -- balance. People are discovering energy and efficiency where they may have been least expected -- in slowing down. In this engaging and entertaining exploration, award-winning journalist and rehabilitated speedaholic Carl Honoré details our perennial love affair with efficiency and speed in a perfect blend of anecdotal reportage, history, and intellectual inquiry. In Praise of Slowness is the first comprehensive look at the worldwide Slow movements making their way into the mainstream -- in offices, factories, neighborhoods, kitchens, hospitals, concert halls, bedrooms, gyms, and schools. Defining a movement that is here to stay, this spirited manifesto will make you completely rethink your relationship with time.

Book Synopsis How to Write a Book - the System by : Dan Moskel
Download or read book How to Write a Book - the System written by Dan Moskel and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-05-24 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How awesome will it feel to add to your resume, that you''re published author? How about being able to say to your friends, family, and associates, they can grab a copy of your book at iTunes, Amazon, BarnesandNoble.com, on the Kindle, Nook, and in audio book? How cool will that be? The best part about writing a book, is this is a great way to generate passive recurring steams of revenue in the form of royalties on your book sales. Would your life improve with multiple recurring, passive streams of income? Could that help you break free the bonds of spending Monday through Friday with Dwight Schrute and Michael Scott from the hit TV show, The Office? Let me share a cold harsh reality, it''s said 8 in 10 Americans want to write a book, but how many of these well intended folks, actually do it? The Department of Labor in 2012, reported less than 130,000 writers and authors, among a population of more than 300 million people. In other words, the odds are about as good as winning the lottery. The plain truth is writing a book, is a job. It requires you to invest energy, time, and effort. But, it doesn''t have to be some long arduous journey. If you listen to what the others say, you''ll hear them yammering on about investing years into writing a book, and how painful the experience is. Recently, I even heard one author say he had two major illnesses, two surgeries, and spent two years writing his book, and still has no idea what to do differently, other than purchase better health insurance for the next one. Come on man, how about trying anything differently! You see the Rosetta Stone to writing your book is following a simple, proven step by step formula. This is how you write one book and if you so choose, five more, and without feeling like your donating an organ, giving birth, or solving advanced calculus. Surely, you''ve seen an episode of the hit TV show, Shark Tank, with Barbara Corcoran, she''s written three books. But, did you know she has dyslexia, and was a D student in high school? It doesn''t require a Harvard degree, and the lack of a formal education didn''t stop Charles Dickens, H.G. Wells, Jack London, or Mark Twain, to name but a few! Look, this is my eighth book, and just like Chris Farley, in the movie Tommy Boy, I barely escaped college, in less than a decade, and started writing professionally as a college dropout. During our great recession, and have earned millions of dollars, working from home, and even part time, while finishing school. You may have even seen me on national TV in my own infomercial. It''s awesome to say I''ve appeared on ESPN with LeBron James, even if we weren''t playing basketball together. I don''t say this to brag, but so that you will take my words seriously. In this book you''ll be empowered with a simple, bite size, 11 step system to become one of the few brave courageous souls, that takes this dream, and turns it into a reality. Just think about what being a published author, will do for your career? Surely, it''ll pour rocket fuel on positioning you as an expert, and authority in your field. Along with raining down upon you potential media interviews, speaking engagements, new clients, the sky''s the limit. Do you hear that knocking? For it''s the moment of opportunity at your door. But, just like in the movie the Matrix, Keanu Reeves was given a choice of the red pill or the blue pill, right now, this moment, you''re faced with the same decision, what choice will you make? You see, it''s not luck, happenstance, or black voodoo magic that you''re hearing this message. Come, along now. Let''s get started with step #1, and keep in mind what Mark Twain said: "Twenty years from now, you''ll be more disappointed by the things you didn''t do, than by the ones you did do."
