Download or read book Summerwater written by Sarah Moss and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A BEST BOOK OF JANUARY: O Magazine A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR in the UK: The Guardian, The Times “[Moss] writes beautifully about... souls in tumult, about people whose lives have not turned out the way they’d hoped. . .There’s little doubt, reading Moss, that you’re in the hands of a sophisticated and gifted writer." —Dwight Garner, The New York Times The acclaimed author of Ghost Wall offers a new, devastating, masterful novel of subtle menace They rarely speak to each other, but they take notice—watching from the safety of their cabins, peering into the half-lit drizzle of a Scottish summer day, making judgments from what little they know of their temporary neighbors. On the longest day of the year, the hours pass nearly imperceptibly as twelve people go from being strangers to bystanders to allies, their attention forced into action as tragedy sneaks into their lives. At daylight, a mother races up the mountain, fleeing into her precious dose of solitude. A retired man studies her return as he reminisces about the park’s better days. A young woman wonders about his politics as she sees him head for a drive with his wife, and tries to find a moment away from her attentive boyfriend. A teenage boy escapes the scrutiny of his family, braving the dark waters of the loch in a kayak. This cascade of perspective shows each wrapped up in personal concerns, unknown to each other, as they begin to notice one particular family that doesn’t seem to belong. Tensions rise, until nightfall brings an irrevocable turn. From Sarah Moss, the acclaimed author of Ghost Wall—a “riveting” (Alison Hagy, The New York Times Book Review) “sharp tale of suspense” (Margaret Tablot, The New Yorker), Summerwater is a searing exploration of our capacity for kinship and cruelty, and a gorgeous evocation of the natural world that bears eternal witness.
Book Synopsis Ukelyptus - Music in Minutes by : Gerard
Download or read book Ukelyptus - Music in Minutes written by Gerard and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music In Minutes, is a method book, designed to both learn ukulele as well as teach music through song. It has been developed with even the most novice musician in mind and is suitable for ages 10-110. Our approach to achieving fantastic results is based on many years of experience in composition and performance, along with sound pedagogical and psychological principle. Fast-track your musical progress. You will be literally playing and singing (plinging) along in just minutes to the accompanying musical tracks as you work your way through the progressively ordered tunes. There are even heaps of songs that exclusively utilise chord shapes (finger positions on the fret board) requiring just one finger! To make things even easier, the first 30 songs are based on a simple repeated chord pattern. It's just so simple, but this by no means compromises any musicality. We believe that there is great sophistication in simplicity, and where confusion is eliminated, both understanding and joy are increased.

Book Synopsis The Extended Theory of Cognitive Creativity by : Antonino Pennisi
Download or read book The Extended Theory of Cognitive Creativity written by Antonino Pennisi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume focuses on the hypothesis that performativity is not a property confined to certain specific human skills, or to certain specific acts of language, nor an accidental enrichment due to creative intelligence. Instead, the executive and motor component of cognitive behavior should be considered an intrinsic part of the physiological functioning of the mind, and as endowed with self-generative power. Performativity, in this theoretical context, can be defined as a constituent component of cognitive processes. The material action allowing us to interact with reality is both the means by which the subject knows the surrounding world and one through which he experiments with the possibilities of his body. This proposal is rooted in models now widely accepted in the philosophy of mind and language; in fact, it focuses on a space of awareness that is not in the individual, or outside it, but is determined by the species-specific ways in which the body acts on the world. This theoretical hypothesis will be pursued through the latest interdisciplinary methodology typical of cognitive science, that coincide with the five sections in which the book is organized: Embodied, enactivist, philosophical approaches; Aesthetics approaches; Naturalistic and evolutionary approaches; Neuroscientific approaches; Linguistics approaches. This book is intended for: linguists, philosophers, psychologists, cognitive scientists, scholars of art and aesthetics, performing artists, researchers in embodied cognition, especially enactivists and students of the extended mind.

She's just finishing a session when the police arrive on her doorstep--her ex-husband David has gone missing. Vicki insists she last saw him years ago when they divorced, but the police clearly don't believe her. And her memory's hardly reliable--what if she did have something to do with it? Meanwhile, Scarlet and her mother Zelda are down on their luck, and at eight years old, Scarlet's not old enough to know that the "game" her mother forces her to play is really just a twisted name for dealing drugs. Soon, Zelda is caught, and Scarlet is forced into years of foster care--an experience that will shape the rest of her life . . . David's new wife, Tanya, is the one who reported him missing, but what really happened on the night of David's disappearance? And how can Vicki prove her innocence, when she's not even sure of it herself? The answer lies in the connection among these four women--and the one person they can't escape.
