Book Synopsis The Silent Escape by : Lena Constante
Download or read book The Silent Escape written by Lena Constante and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1995-04-07 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 1992 Association des Ecrivains de Langue Française Prix Européen "I have lived, alone, in a cell, 157,852,800 seconds of solitude and fear. Cause for screaming! They sentence me to live yet another 220,838,400 seconds! To live them or to die from them."--from The Silent Escape Victim of Stalinist-era terror, Lena Constante was arrested on trumped-up charges of "espionage" and sentenced to twelve years in Romanian prisons. The Silent Escape is the extraordinary account of the first eight years of her incarceration--years of solitary confinement during which she was tortured, starved, and daily humiliated. The only woman to have endured isolation so long in Romanian jails, Constante is also one of the few women political prisoners to have written about her ordeal. Unlike other more political prison diaries, this book draws us into the practical and emotional experiences of everyday prison life. Candidly, eloquently, Constante describes the physical and psychological abuses that were the common lot of communist-state political prisoners. She also recounts the particular humiliations she suffered as a woman, including that of male guards watching her in the bathroom. Constante survived by escaping into her mind--and finally by discovering the "language of the walls," which enabled her to communicate with other female inmates. A powerful story of totalitarianism and human endurance, this work makes an important contribution to the literature of "prison notebooks."
Book Synopsis Quest for Silence by : Harry A. Wilmer
Download or read book Quest for Silence written by Harry A. Wilmer and published by Daimon. This book was released on 2000 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What ever happened to silence? Actually nothing, and Harry Wilmer takes great pains to show how we have submerged it under a toxic barrage of noise. Using both clinical examples of the power of silence from his case histories, and cultural values of silence, he uncovers a astonishing theme in the Japanese idea of MA as silence. Wilmer points out how silence gives meaning to words, dreams, thought, action and music. From his long experience as a Jungian analyst, he weaves his ideas into an eminently practical treatise on the phenomenology of silence. With many references to literature as well as his personal life experiences and crises, he offers a readable and important new story of the universal and spiritual significance of silence in a world of jackhammer noise.

Book excerpt: Now the land of Balaia, still riven by war, must live with the consequences. The Dawnthief spell – designed to destroy the world, but cast to save it – has torn a hole in the sky, a pathway into the dragon dimension, and, through it, unfriendly eyes are turning to Balaia. With war already sweeping the land, there are no armies to send against the dragons. All that stands between Balaia and complete dominion by these tyrannous beasts is a tiny, but legendary band of mercenaries: The Raven. And if they fail, Balaia will fall beneath the wings of countless dragons… James Barclay has created a fantasy epic of rare intensity and blistering pace peopled by characters you can believe in.
Book Synopsis Code Blue by : Richard E. Deichmann M.D.
Download or read book Code Blue written by Richard E. Deichmann M.D. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book that finally gives a physicians inside story of the evacuation of Memorial Medical Center following Katrina a gripping tale of abandonment and survival. A toxic stew of floodwaters surrounded Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans after Katrina when the levees broke. Over two thousand people were trapped in the squalid conditions without security as the death toll steadily rose inside. Bodies stacked up in the chapel as the temperature soared in the overcrowded hospital and the situation became increasingly desperate. Doctors, nurses, and staff worked around the clock, caring for those inside and trying to evacuate the facility, also known as Baptist Hospital. Allegations of euthanasia would later make headlines across the country and be investigated by state and local officials. Code Blue: A Katrina Physicians Memoir finally tells the inside story of the hellish nightmare those who struggled to survive the ordeal were cast into. Dr. Richard Deichmann, the hospitals chief of medicine and one of the leaders of the evacuation, gives his compelling account of the rapidly deteriorating state of affairs at the hospital. He takes us through the daily horrors and numbing disappointments. This gripping tale of survival, despite betrayal and abandonment by the authorities, may change forever the way you view the threat of a mass disaster. What Others are Saying about Code Blue: A Katrina Physicians Memoir As a physician who has been on hurricane duty for prior storms, I thought I could imagine what it would be like if we were hit by a severe storm. I was wrong. This book should serve as a warning about what can happen when basic modern conveniences such as power, running water, communications and safety are taken away. - Karen Blessey, MD

Book excerpt: NO SHROUD OF SILENCE, a collection of literary poems and stories that span decades of life in southern Kentucky, speaks of family, place, grief, resilience, spirituality, and humor. In the title poem a woman declares her independence and refuses to bend to the wishes of others.ADVANCE PRAISE"In No Shroud of Silence, Keaton-Wilson unleashes not only her own story but also the stories of countless other Appalachian women into a psalm of hope that teaches us to hold hands across the centuries and embolden each other to sing out, to never again be stopped, so that our daughters and granddaughters will always know how loved and how lovely they are."-Rebecca Gayle Howell"[P]owerful¿her poems give voice to emotions most of us hold but cannot express. Her opening three-page comparison of Appalachia to a tall, raw-boned woman of indefinite years is worth the price of the book alone."-Sandra P. Aldrich "Sandi Keaton¿ like her southeast Kentucky homeland, is a woe-struck and a strong-willed survivor. No Shroud of Silence demonstrates the rich variety of what it means to be an Appalachian writer. ¿There is much healing going on here for reader and writer in poems and stories that 'study old wounds,/ then bandage them with those healing words'. Read this book ¿"-Rob Merritt
Book Synopsis Natural History of Silence by : Jérôme Sueur
Download or read book Natural History of Silence written by Jérôme Sueur and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-11-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our busy, noisy world, we may find ourselves longing for silence. But what is silence exactly? Is it the total absence of sound? Or is it the absence of the sound created by humans – the kind of deep stillness you might experience in a remote mountain landscape covered in snow, far away from the bustle of human life? When we listen closely, silence reveals a neglected reality. Neither empty nor singular, silence is instead plentiful and multiple. In this book, eco-acoustic historian Jérôme Sueur allows us to discover a vast landscape of silences which trigger the full gamut of our emotions: anxiety, awe and peace. He takes us from vistas resplendent with full and rich natural silences to the everyday silence of predators as they stalk their prey. To explore silences in animal behaviour and ecology is to discover a counterpoint to the acoustic diversity of the natural world, throwing into sharp relief the grating reverberations of the human activity which threatens it. It is to attune ourselves to a world that our human insensitivities have closed off to us, to take a moment simply to breathe and listen to the place of silence in nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Zurich Congress marked a return to the origins of Analytical Psychology: here it was that C.G. Jung lived for the first six decades of this century and developed the school of psychology he came to be known for. Here, too, is where many of today's Jungian analysts from all over the world received their training, and their initiation into the profession. As this collection of the complete proceedings attests, the theme of open questions drew a bountiful array of intriguing responses, and this to the largest gathering of Jungian analysts ever: more than 800 in all.

Book excerpt: The once-verdant island of Tara'saigh is being rotted away to nothing by a sinister and deadly plague backed by swarms of demonic creatures eating anyone who survives the Blight. As it chews its way inexorably toward the Western Shores province, the armies of the hated Wytheran Church brace for impact, and a tiny band of starved youngsters wielding ancient, forbidden powers emerges from the eastern mists. They were brought together by a Tinker as his last gambit to stop his archrival from bringing an evil would-be god out of exile. The team: a Berserker who feels everything, an aloof, tattoo-covered elven Hunter, a beautiful Mage with more power than sense, a Wytheran Paladin suffering from a crisis of faith, a chill Druid, and an empty-handed, emotionless killer. Hopelessly outnumbered and reeling from recent events, can they survive their friends and enemies long enough to save the land?
