Download or read book Rabbi Schlotz Stories written by Michael Thomas and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not since Sydney Carton has literature created such an enigmatic character as the Rabbi. A true dissident in attitude and behavior and yet a faithful spiritualist at heart, the Rabbi tumbles headlong through life in a state of irritated bliss and cockeyed understanding. I am reminded of Jesus saying: "We must become like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven." Rabbi has mastered this. He sees the world as a simple creation where we are expected only to be grateful and kind. He has no time or inclination to obsess over the trivial pursuits of men. Treat yourself to his enlightening and hilarious exploits as he twists and turns his way to a place where he knows nothing and everything, serves no one and everyone, through sheer goodness discovers the secrets of magic in this life. A cross between Siddhartha and Walter Mitty, no matter what strange situation the Rabbi finds himself in, it entertains and enlightens.

Download or read book New Selected Writings of Michael Thomas written by Michael Thomas and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What may look to the untrained eye like a barren landscape, looks to the trained eye like an illustration of wondrous beauty. What we see is less important than the perspective from which we see it. Michael Thomas sees things from way outside the box, and so has a fresh perspective we all can benefit from. It is difficult for an academic to see the ways of the world and it is uncommon for a worldly man to appreciate the realm of the academic. It is a singular gift when one man can walk in both worlds, as a practicing normal human being as well as a student of mankind. Read this book and see for yourself.
Book Synopsis The Accounting Book by : Michael Thomas
Download or read book The Accounting Book written by Michael Thomas and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1470's, Luca Pacioli invented the double-entry bookkeeping system still in use today. I say, "Shows you how quickly we advance!" But I am proved wrong by this book, a book which not only discusses the basic precepts of accounting, it discuss-es the temptations and mistakes that plague business owners everywhere. Both a book on Basic Accounting and a morality play, Michael Thomas has rewritten the place of accounting to include personal ac-counting for actions as well. It is a breath of fresh air to a field that has remained mostly static since the 1470's.

Download or read book Michael Thomas Poetry 6 written by Michael Thomas and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an accountant, Michael Thomas has had difficulty applying his great knowledge of history, literature and art. But in his poetry, he is free to express his understandings in unbridled creative and playful ways. This, his most recent book of poetry is likely his most creative and playful, as he becomes more versed and practiced every day. Michael is blessed with an extensive vocabulary and the understanding of how to blend words to create effects which are more than the sum of the phrases, like a jazz master plays a saxophone solo. You cannot put what you heard into words, you only know that it left you awed and satisfied when it was over. Such is the sublime nature of high art in all of its varied forms. In Michael Thomas Poetry 6, we have a collection that in totality reaches that sublimity a multitude of times, leaving the reader many memorable experiences

Download or read book Michael Thomas Poetry 5 written by Michael Thomas and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07-29 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all have our take on what is divine and what makes things divine. As we get older we tend to spend more time contemplating the divine. When the author, Michael Thomas, first saw a picture of this fresco, he was stricken with feelings of identification. For him, this picture was a wonderful representation of the divine, so he has chosen to share it with his readers as a personal expression of divinity. In his fifth volume of poetry, Michael Thomas becomes more philosophical and begins to plum the depths of humanity, looking for the goodness that he can attach himself to . As readers, we have the chance to attach ourselves to divinity through his words.
Book Synopsis Michael Thomas Poetry 4 by : Michael Thomas
Download or read book Michael Thomas Poetry 4 written by Michael Thomas and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-02-23 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 5,000 years ago Enheduanna took time to write 42 hymns and a poem called Min-Me-Sar-Ra or The Exaultation of Inanna. She is considered the first woman author in recorded history. Forward fast a few thousand years and we are priviledged to have the more sophisticated pennings of Michael Thomas, and you do not have to carry huge volumes of stone tablets to read it. Yet, Michael pays homage to the greatness of those who blazed the trail upon which the rest of us travel. He pulls it all into an amalgamous knowledge of expressive language. Come and see what poetry has evolved to over 5,000 years.
Download or read book Man Gone Down written by Michael Thomas and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book: The award-winning debut novel of race and family that “casts a new light on urban life in Brooklyn” (Time Out New York). “Like the characters of Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin and Lorraine Hansberry . . . [our] unnamed narrator is a black man concerned with identity in a decidedly white America”. He’s a father of three in a biracial marriage trying to claim a piece of the American Dream (TheWashington Post). On the eve of his thirty-fifth birthday, he finds himself broke, estranged from his wife and kids, and living in a friend’s spare bedroom in Brooklyn. He has four days to come up with the money to keep his family afloat, and four days to make sense of his past and his future in a country where he feels preprogrammed to fail. But he has a powerful urge to escape that sentence. “Man Gone Down charts a four-day, Homeric trek through what makes America and New York a social and racial nightmare as well as a dream that incredibly can still come true.” —Robert Sullivan, New York Times–bestselling author of Rats “Powerful and moving . . . recount[ing] the events of four desperate days in New York, [Man Gone Down] extends far beyond these boundaries of time and space.” —The New York Times Book Review “[A] jazzy, sinewy debut . . . Thomas’s urgent, quicksilver prose makes even the darkest moments of this novel shine.” —O, The Oprah Magazine

Book Synopsis Rabbi Schlotz Talks with God by : Michael Thomas
Download or read book Rabbi Schlotz Talks with God written by Michael Thomas and published by Shoestring Book Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the ages, many people have wanted to converse with God, have claimed to have conversed with God, or have claimed God speaks to others through them. Here is another in a long line of prophets and charlatans who have written about just such conversations. In this case, however, the one conversing with God is neither a prophet nor a Con Artist. He is a Rabbi who wishes to understand reality. As expected, God is full of cryptic answers, but he also has a surprisingly sharp sense of humor. Over the course of 100 days, our protagonist, Rabbi Schlotz, asks God all of the most important questions. (He asks a number of inane ones, too.) In the end, we get a clear image of what God is like, jealousy, humor and all. But, not just on a level of classification and status, on a personal level, too. Dip in a toe or plunge right in! A soak in these waters is good for the soul. Shallow or deep pools, there is something for everyone here, even God. ected, God is full of cryptic answers, but he also has a surprisingly sharp sense of humor.

Book Synopsis A New Culture of Learning by : Douglas Thomas
Download or read book A New Culture of Learning written by Douglas Thomas and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-first century is a world in constant change. In A New Culture of Learning, Doug Thomas and John Seely Brown pursue an understanding of how the forces of change, and emerging waves of interest associated with these forces, inspire and invite us to imagine a future of learning that is as powerful as it is optimistic. Typically, when we think of culture, we think of an existing, stable entity that changes and evolves over long periods of time. In A New Culture, Thomas and Brown explore a second sense of culture, one that responds to its surroundings organically. It not only adapts, it integrates change into its process as one of its environmental variables. By exploring play, innovation, and the cultivation of the imagination as cornerstones of learning, the authors create a vision of learning for the future that is achievable, scalable and one that grows along with the technology that fosters it and the people who engage with it. The result is a new form of culture in which knowledge is seen as fluid and evolving, the personal is both enhanced and refined in relation to the collective, and the ability to manage, negotiate and participate in the world is governed by the play of the imagination. Replete with stories, this is a book that looks at the challenges that our education and learning environments face in a fresh way. PRAISE FOR A NEW CULTURE OF LEARNING "A provocative and extremely important new paradigm of a 'culture of learning', appropriate for a world characterized by continual change. This is a must read for anyone interested in the future of education." James J. Duderstadt, President Emeritus, University of Michigan "Thomas and Brown are the John Dewey of the digital age." Cathy Davidson, Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Duke University "A New Culture of Learning may provide for the digital media and learning movement what Thomas Paine's Common Sense did for the colonists during the American Revolution- a straightforward, direct explanation of what we are fighting for and what we are fighting against." Henry Jenkins, Provost's Professor, USC "A New Culture of Learning is at once persuasive and optimistic - a combination that is all too rare, but that flows directly from its authors' insights about learning in the digital age. Pearls of wisdom leap from almost every page." Paul Courant, Dean of Libraries, University of Michigan "Brilliant. Insightful. Revolutionary." Marcia Conner, author of The New Social Learning "Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown portray the new world of learning gracefully, vividly, and convincingly." Howard Gardner, Professor, Harvard Graduate School of Education "Thomas and Brown make it clear that education is too often a mechanistic, solo activity delivered to the young. It doesn't have to be that way-learning can be a messy, social, playful, embedded, constant activity. We would do well to listen to their message." Clay Shirky, author of Cognitive Surplus "Anyone who fears, as I do, that today's public schools are dangerously close to being irrelevant must read this book. The authors provide a road map-and a lifeline-showing how schools can prosper under the most difficult conditions. It is a welcome departure from all the school bashing." John Merrow, Education Correspondent, PBS NewsHour "American education is at a crossroads. By illuminating how play helps to transform both information networks and experimentation, and how collective inquiry unleashes the power of imagination, A New Culture of Learning provides an irresistible path to the future." Joel Myerson, Director, Forum for the Future of Higher Education.

Book Synopsis Involuntary Dislocation by : Renos K. Papadopoulos
Download or read book Involuntary Dislocation written by Renos K. Papadopoulos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renos K. Papadopoulos clearly and sensitively explores the experiences of people who reluctantly abandon their homes, searching for safer lives elsewhere, and provides a detailed guide to the complex experiences of involuntary dislocation. Involuntary Dislocation: Home, Trauma, Resilience, and Adversity-Activated Development identifies involuntary dislocation as a distinct phenomenon, challenging existing assumptions and established positions, and explores its linguistic, historical, and cultural contexts. Papadopoulos elaborates on key themes including home, identity, nostalgic disorientation, the victim, and trauma, providing an in-depth understanding of each contributing factor whilst emphasising the human experience throughout. The book concludes by articulating an approach to conceptualising and working with people who have experienced adversities engendered by involuntary dislocation, and with a reflection on the language of repair and renewal. Involuntary Dislocation will be a compassionate and comprehensive guide for psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, counsellors, and other professionals working with people who have experienced displacement. It will also be important reading for anyone wishing to understand the psychosocial impact of extreme adversity.

Book Synopsis Stitched Memories Within My Fedora by : Aaron de Monbrun
Download or read book Stitched Memories Within My Fedora written by Aaron de Monbrun and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aaron de Monbrun is a writer, poet, thespian and family man from Nebraska who has the singular talent to turn a few well-crafted words into a dynamic story. Born in Virginia Beach, and raised all over, including 5 years in Japan, Aaron developed a true "worldview" as part of a military family. His uncanny enthusiasm for communicating through the spoken word is contagious and inspiring, captivating one and all to follow him on his winding journey to the moon and stars. It is a journey not only of time and space, but of mood and spirit and modality of times. Reading an Aaron de Monbrun poem is like pulling on a sweater yarn until the sweater is totally unraveled, exposing the naked truth underneath, and yet not finding at all what you would expect.
