Download or read book Kai'ro written by Judah Ben and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a prison cell, over 330 years ago, John Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim's Progress, an allegory that became the most widely distributed book in the world, second only to the Bible. It is the story of a pilgrim named "Christian," who depicts the lifelong struggle of every believer in the journey we call "the Christian life." Unfortunately, life then was a whole different story than life in the 21st century-especially life in the streets! Kai'Ro: the Journey of an Urban Pilgrim recasts Bunyan's timeless and powerful tale in modern language on an urban stage. You will find yourself both spectator and fellow traveler with Kai'Ro as he faces the blistering sarcasm of The House of Mockers, the haunting pain of his past in the Alley of the Shadow of Death, and the amazing gift of insight at the Interpreter's House. With unflinching honesty and courage, Kai'Ro faces the unrelenting obstacles that entangle modern urban youth, including racism, sex, fatherlessness, violence, and hopelessness. You'll be introduced to characters like Pain, Broken, ChurchBoy, Quitter and Phanatik, whose lives are too real to be ignored. Young or old, urban or suburban, you will find parts of yourself and those you know in Kai'Ro: The Journey of an Urban Pilgrim. (207 words) Judah Ben, 31, has been involved with urban youth for over 15 years. His vision for urban ministry was birthed at Wheaton College while he and friends met weekly with youth incarcerated in the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center in Chicago. Upon graduation he returned home to teach at Restoration Academy, an urban Christian School in Birmingham, Alabama that is nurturing faith and restoring hope in an impoverished community. He is currently anadministrator at the school, and he and his wife and three children make their home in the neighborhood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection offers the first comprehensive discussion of the history, theory, and pedagogical applications of kairos, a seminal and recently revised concept of classical rhetoric. Augusto Rostagni, James L. Kinneavy, Richard Leo Enos, John Poulakos, and John E. Smith are among the international list of scholars who explore the Homeric and literary origins of kairos, the technologies of time-keeping in antiquity, the role of "right-timing" in Hippocratic medicine, the improvisations of Gorgias, as well as the uses of kairos in Isocrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, and the New Testament. Broad in its scope, the book also examines the distinctive philosophies of time reflected in Renaissance Humanism, Nineteenth-Century American Transcendentalism, Oriental art and ritual, and the application of kairos to contemporary philosophy, ethics, literary criticism, rhetorical theory, and composition pedagogy.
Download or read book Cairo in Chicago written by Istvan Ormos and published by IFAO. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built as a temporary structure and made of ephemeral materials, "Cairo Street" had a dual nature. On the one hand it was a purely scientific installation, a piece of anthropology. On the other, it became the most popular entertainment venue at the World's Columbian Exposition of Chicago (1893), a place where "people went wild with excitement". Far from being a copy of any actual street, it was an assemblage of authentic architectural elements put together in such a way as to conjure up the atmosphere of the Arab-Islamic metropolis, the city of the Thousand and One Nights. Its impact was greatly enhanced by the presence of local Cairo inhabitants, who plied their trade, some of them with their camels, donkeys, monkeys, and even snakes. The belly dancing on Cairo Street caused an enormous stir: many claimed that it was immoral and called for its immediate suspension; others regarded it as a performance of important scientific and ethnological value. It was never suspended-and people flocked to see it. An immense amount has been written about world's fairs. This monograph represents a novel approach in that it subjects a single project, the Cairo Street, to detailed analysis, placing particular emphasis on interpreting it within the context of the Fair as a whole. What was the great uproar about the belly dancing? What motivated it? In order to answer these questions, this monograph attempts to offer a complex, multi-faceted, interpretation within the context of the society of the time. Cairo Street was the sensation of the World's Columbian Exposition, a fair which many sold their stoves, mortgaged their houses, spent their life savings or their funeral money to see. This monograph is enhanced with a ground plan and 168 illustrations.

Book Synopsis Hardluck Ironclad by : Edwin C. Bearss
Download or read book Hardluck Ironclad written by Edwin C. Bearss and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1980-06-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the morning of December 12, 1862, the Union gunboat Cairo, nosing her way up the Yazoo River north of Vicksburg, Mississippi, triggered two Confederate demijohn mines. Within minutes the 512-ton ironclad had sunk six fathoms to the muddy bottom with no loss of life -- the first armored war vessel ever downed by an electronically activated mine. A whole new era of naval warfare had begun.In Hardluck Ironclad Edwin Bearss tells how he and two other Civil War historians discovered the Cairo almost a century later -- still intact at the bottom of the Yazoo, her big guns loaded and ready to fire, much of the gear aboard just as it was that December morning when the crew abandoned her -- and how, almost miraculously, she was later salvaged and restored.

Download or read book Illyadra written by Adriel and published by Adriel House Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embark on a journey into the spectacular worldbuilding of "Illyadra," the first book of the Archeodon Series—an epic fantasy masterpiece that seamlessly weaves together humor, trauma, and philosophy to navigate the intricate realms of oppression and systems of value. “Illyadra” is set in the realm of Zoë, a divided land that encompasses five distinct countries, each governed by a unique magic system personified in the Archeodon crowns. These crowns bestow their wearers and subjects with the power of influence, ranging from Destruction and Illusion to Alteration, Conjuration, and Restoration. In this enchanting universe, those wielding powerful magic, known as "vuu," reign supreme. Drawing inspiration from the likes of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" for its premise, “Eragon” for style, the Bible Project for theology, and the “Genealogy of Morality” for themes, "Illyadra" introduces a tale that transcends genres. It skillfully crafts a worldview that dances on the edge of convention, whose subtle undertones are an invitation for those who seek novels with Christian themes while remaining unobtrusive to those who don't. Renovia, once the best nation in the world, has collapsed. Siblings Kairo and Aterah are thrust into the future during their escape and lose the crown of restoration in the process. They reemerge generations later, amidst the remnants of their people—a society reduced to a primitive, stone age militia through war and oppression, struggling to survive without vuu in a world that revolves around it. The Sigu Nii, a barbaric society with a bloodlust social hierarchy, learn of Aterah's oracle ability to see the future in her dreams and unleash their most devastating magical forces and steal her away. Fatally injured during the raid, Kairo faces a monumental dilemma—abandon his post and plunge into foreign and hostile lands to save his sister before infection kills him, or else the Sigu Nii will exploit her dreams for Renovia's ultimate destruction. Other life-like characters include: Eidhin, a stuttering young farm boy in a culture that values the façade of knowledge above all else. While devoting his life to a church that pretends to stand for truth, he gets wrapped up in a global conspiracy, brainwashed, and sold into the slave trade system. Ayrah Veligreen, a girl prodigy in the destructive Sigu Nii arts, embarks on a relentless quest to unveil the truth behind her father's execution by the immortal god-king, Ash. And then there's Wesken—a kid with a staff, white hair, and a day-long memory. "Illyadra" masterfully encapsulates a diverse array of timeless story tropes—from evil empires and the echoes of Arthurian legends to the damsel in distress—even though it is a narrative that puts strong female main characters at the forefront. Beneath the surface, "Illyadra" alludes to profound themes of oppression, caste systems, and free will. The story bites deep, evoking both laughter and tears, as it invites readers to go soul searching and think deep about the choices that shape destinies.

Book Synopsis Cultural Identity in Arabic Novels of Immigration by : Wessam Elmeligi
Download or read book Cultural Identity in Arabic Novels of Immigration written by Wessam Elmeligi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Identity in Arabic Novels of Immigration: A Poetics of Return offers a new perspective of migration studies that views the concept of migration in Arabic as inherently embracing the notion of return. Starting the study with the significance of the Islamic hijra as the quintessential migrant narrative in Arabic culture, Elmeligi offers readings of Arabic narratives as early as Ibn Tufayl’s Hayy ibn Yaqzan and as recent asMiral Al-Tahawy’s 2010 Brooklyn Heights, and asvaried as Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz’s short story adaptation of the ancient Egyptian Tale of Sinuhe and Yemeni novelist Mohammed Abdl Wali’s They Die Strangers, includingnovels that have not been translated in English before, such as Sonallah Ibrahim’s Amrikanli and Suhayl Idris’ The Latin Quarter. To contextualize these narratives, Elmeligi employs studies of cultural identity and their features that are most impacted by migration. In this study, Elmeligi analyzes the different manifestations of return, whether physical or psychological, commenting not only on the decisions that the characters take in the novels, but also the narrative choices that the writers make, thus viewing narrativity as a form of performativity of cultural identity as well. The book addresses fresh angles of migration studies, identity theory, and Arabic literary analysis that are of interest to scholars and students.

Book Synopsis Architecture Beyond Criticism by : Wolfgang F. E. Preiser
Download or read book Architecture Beyond Criticism written by Wolfgang F. E. Preiser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, this book demonstrates that the two paradigms of architectural criticism and performance evaluation can not only co-exist but complement each other in the assessment of built works. As architecture takes more principled stances worldwide, from environmental sustainability to social, cultural, and economic activism, this book examines the roles of perceived and measured quality in architecture. By exploring in tandem both subjective traditional architectural criticism and environmental design and performance evaluation and its objective evaluation criteria, the book argues that both methodologies and outcomes can achieve a comprehensive assessment of quality in architecture. Curated by a global editorial team, the book includes: Contributions from international architects and critics based in the UK, USA, Brazil, France, Qatar, Egypt, New Zealand, China, Japan and Germany Global case studies which illustrate both perspectives addressed by the book and comparative analyses of the findings A six part organization which includes introductions and conclusions from the editors, to help guide the reader and further illuminate the contributions. By presenting a systematic approach to assessing building performance, design professionals will learn how to improve building design and performance with major stakeholders in mind, especially end users/occupants.
