Download or read book Of Mule and Man written by Mike Farrell and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The M*A*S*H actor, activist, and author of Just Call Me Mike embarks on a cross-country book tour visiting human rights and social justice organizations. In May 2008—shortly after being named by the Los Angeles Times as a “Person of the Year”—Mike Farrell drove himself across the country on a book tour like no other. Networking with political groups (and friends like Joseph C. Wilson and Valerie Plame), Farrell redefined the very concepts of book touring and “promotion” through a progressive lens. “Not since Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley: in Search of America has there been a more beautifully written and compelling journey into the heartland of America. Mike Farrell celebrates his beloved country with great honesty and sincerity, with humility and grace. A beautiful and courageous book, an American classic.” —Ron Kovic, author of Born on the Fourth of July “Farrell writes with an upbeat, optimistic attitude, infused with humor, insights and soul. As he drives across the landscape, he also drives home important social justice issues.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book The Sugarmaker's Companion written by Michael Farrell and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sugarmaker's Companion is the first guide of its kind addressing the small- and large-scale syrup producer seeking to make a profitable business from maple, birch, and walnut sap. This comprehensive work incorporates valuable information on ecological forest management, value-added products, and the most up-to-date techniques on sap collection and processing. It is, most importantly, a guide to an integrated sugaring operation, interconnected to the whole-farm system, woodland, and community. Farrell documents the untapped potential of American forests and shows how sugaring can turn a substantial profit for farmers while providing tremendous enjoyment and satisfaction. Michael Farrell, sugarmaker and director of the Uihlein Forest at Cornell University, offers information on setting up and maintaining a viable sugaring business by incorporating the wisdom of traditional sugarmaking with the value of modern technology (such as reverse-osmosis machines and vacuum tubing). He gives a balanced view of the industry while offering a realistic picture of how modern technology can be beneficial, from both an economic and an environmental perspective. Within these pages, readers will find if syrup production is right for them (and on what scale), determine how to find trees for tapping, learn the essentials of sap collection, the art and science of sugarmaking, and how to build community through syrup production. There are many more unique aspects to this book that set it apart from anything else on the market, including: - A focus on maple as a local, sustainably produced and healthy alternative to corn syrup and other highly processed and artificial sweeteners; - The health benefits of sap and syrup in North America and throughout the world; - Attention to the questions of organic certification, sugarhouse registration, and the new international grading system; - Enhancing diversity in the sugarbush and interplanting understory crops for value-added products (ginseng, goldenseal, and mushrooms, specifically); - An economic analysis of utilizing maple trees for syrup or sawtimber production and the market opportunities for taphole maple lumber; - The value of sap as a healthful and profitable energy drink; - Detailed analyses on the economics of buying and selling sap; - Lots of great information on marketing to create a profitable business model (based on scale, interest, and access), and more. . . . Applicable for a wide range of climates and regions, this book is sure to change the conversation around syrup production and prove invaluable for both home-scale and commercial sugarmakers alike.
Download or read book I Love Poetry written by Michael Farrell and published by Giramondo Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Farrell is the most adventurous and experimental of contemporary Australian poets, continually pushing the boundaries of what poetry can do. Highly regarded for the playful rhythms and comic, gestural qualities of his poetry, his poems set language, syntax and punctuation in motion. His eye for metaphor and the unexpected combination, for punning and the letter – in both its verbal and visual aspects — gives his poetry its unique humour and energy. In poems like ‘AC/DC As First Emu Prime Minister’, ‘Sheep, Golden Syrup, Elizabeth Bishop’, and ‘Cate Blanchett And The Difficult Poem’, I Love Poetry scrambles a landscape of colloquial and obscure images. Michael Farrell’s collections include living at the z, ode ode (shortlisted for the Age Poetry Book of the Year Award), BREAK ME OUCH, a raiders guide (published by Giramondo in 2008), thempark and thou sand. His second collection with Giramondo, Open Sesame (2011) was shortlisted for the NSW Premier’s Award for Poetry. Cocky’s Joy (Giramondo 2015) was shortlisted for the Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Poetry. He was the winner of the 2012 Peter Porter Poetry Prize. He is the author of a work of literary criticism, Writing Australian Unsettlement: Modes of Poetic Invention 1796–1945 (Palgrave Macmillan).
Download or read book Family Trees written by Michael Farrell and published by . This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In FamilyTrees Michael Farrell continues to question how humans relate -- toeach other, and to the nonhuman, the worlds of animals, plants and objects.Inheritance can be a heavy legacy but in Farrell's expansive rendering it freesitself: how do we connect? Through affection, and through sharing, swapping andlistening. Family Trees sees the return of familiar characterssuch as Pope Pinocchio, alongside new figures Lord Marmalade, Cherry the 'KiamaScammer' and Adam, a paranoid country English teacher. Presented in film-likescenarios, Farrell's characters are often busily thinking, while alsoparticipating in more mundane forms of activity -- gossip and sleep and work.The book includes a number of South Coast poems that take a poking interest inhow language blooms off-track. It's about memory, fantasy and the possibilitiesof living in conceptual space. Anything that has roots can be a family tree. 'Endless, rascally contortions. Read them boldly as anarchaeologist...but stay quietly aware that the texts are already affecting yourcognitive frame, turning you into their accomplice in the renewing of language.' --Sydney Review of Books

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debating Special Education is a provocative yet timely book examining a range of criticisms made of special education in recent years. Michael Farrell analyses several key debates in special education giving balanced critical responses to inform policy and practice for the future of special education. The book identifies possible limitations to the current special education knowledge base and provision. Michael Farrell examines the value of labelling and classification, and asks if intelligence testing may have detrimental effects; and addresses a number of complex issues such as: how practitioners work within special education; and if, sometimes, professionals may be self-serving whether there is distinctive provision for different types of disabilities and disorders inclusion as mainstreaming offered as an alternative to special education, and the challenges this presents. The author's conclusion is that in responding to these challenges, special education demonstrates its continuing relevance and strength. Presenting a range of international, cross-disciplinary perspectives and debates – which are vital to an understanding of special education today, and written in Farrell's typically accessible style – this book will be relevant for teachers of special children in ordinary and special schools; those on teacher training courses and anyone whose work relates to special education.

Book Synopsis Collaborative Circles by : Michael P. Farrell
Download or read book Collaborative Circles written by Michael P. Farrell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-11 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many artists, writers, and other creative people do their best work when collaborating within a circle of likeminded friends. Experimenting together and challenging one another, they develop the courage to rebel against the established traditions in their field. Out of their discussions they develop a new, shared vision that guides their work even when they work alone. In a unique study that will become a rich source of ideas for professionals and anyone interested in fostering creative work in the arts and sciences, Michael P. Farrell looks at the group dynamics in six collaborative circles: the French Impressionists; Sigmund Freud and his friends; C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the Inklings; social reformers Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony; the Fugitive poets; and the writers Joseph Conrad and Ford Maddox Ford. He demonstrates how the unusual interactions in these collaborative circles drew out the creativity in each member. Farrell also presents vivid narrative accounts of the roles played by the members of each circle. He considers how working in such circles sustains the motivation of each member to do creative work; how collaborative circles shape the individual styles of the persons within them; how leadership roles and interpersonal relationships change as circles develop; and why some circles flourish while others flounder.
Book Synopsis Thy Tears Might Cease by : Michael Farrell
Download or read book Thy Tears Might Cease written by Michael Farrell and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A lifework, posthumously published, this is a traditional novel, leisurely, expansive, openly sentimental, and in the beginning, unremarkable. Tufted with detail, the early scenes of family and school life deal in the small change of common experience; still familiarity can be a valuable currency. And as the book goes on to parallel Martin Reilly's troubled youth with the equally troubled Ireland of 1910 to 1920, it is just the comfortable, or traditional, virtues (the first affections and partisan attachments) which provide a necessary, finite framework. Martin is an orphan, and the hushed references to his parents add to his uneasiness in the household of an aunt and uncle. Theirs is a solicitous custody; so is that of the Church although Martin's schooling away under the Fathers will lead to his lapsed Catholicism and later bitter anticlericalism. He is exposed to several divisive influences. Through his fondness for the Vincents, another adoptive family, and Norman, his closest friend at school, he experiences all the entrenched antagonisms, Protestant versus Catholic, English versus Irish, as well as some of the lesser snobberies of class. By the second half of the book, when Martin falls in love, and becomes an even more passionate Sinn Feiner, the story is carried by the fury of the Bad Times with its recalcitrance and heroism. The revanchist terror spreads from Dublin to the villages; the landmarks of Martin's youth are gutted one by one; and the desolate scenes ending with Norman's death achieve real magnitude... This is in a sense an unoriginal novel; the time and the place and the state of mind have been well mapped-- there are familiar checkpoints from Joyce's Portrait on. Still it is a cumulatively and ultimately impressive book which speaks with probity, universality and eloquence."--Kirkus
Book Synopsis Modern Just War Theory by : Michael P. Farrell
Download or read book Modern Just War Theory written by Michael P. Farrell and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions to Illuminations: A Scarecrow Press Series of Guides to Research in Religion provide students and scholars, lay readers and clergy, with a road map to research in key areas of religious study. All commonly constructed with introductions to the topic and reviews of key thinkers, concepts, and events, each volume includes surveys of the primary and secondary sources, with critical evaluations of their places in the canon of thought and research on the topic. Focusing primarily on the knowledge required by today’s students and scholars, each guide is a must-have for any student of religion. The twentieth century saw an explosion of wars and an accompanying explosion of literature on the morality of war. Thinking among Christian clerics and scholars on the idea of “just war” shifted with developments on the battlefield. Alternatives to just war theory, such as pacifism and realism, found new proponents in the published work of the neo-Anabaptists and Niebhurians. Meanwhile, proponents of Christian just war theory had to address challenges from competing ideologies as well as ththose presented by the changing nature of warfare. Modern Just War Theory: A Guide to Research, by scholar and librarian Michael Farrell, serves as a manual for students and scholars studying Christian just war theory, helping them navigate the wealth of just war literature produced in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Farrell’s guide provides an introduction to the major developments of just war theory in the twentieth century, including sections on how to research just war theory, an overview of some of the most important theorists and developments of the twentieth century, and discussions of key search terms and related topics. Farrell then surveys and evaluates key primary and secondary sources for researchers on just war theory, as well as related sources on Christian realism and the responses of just war theorists to proponents of pacifism and secular just war theories. Modern Just War Theory will appeal to students and scholars of theology, military history, international law, and Christian ethics
