Download or read book Remembrances and other Observations written by don david Calderon y Aroesty and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections by Dr. Sofija Grandakovska, Professor, CUNY, on the book Remembrances and Other Observations This book, first and foremost, is committed to the importance of remembering the past and its careful preservation at the gates of oblivion. The importance is emphasized in plural form: “remembrances.” It is not one story; it is more than fifty varied short stories. The author recognizes the multilayered and polyvalent existence of remembering. It is personal and collective. It is mythical, genealogical, literary, historical, and anthropological. Short stories were written as prose poems. Although we cannot qualify these prose forms as typical short stories in a literary genre context, they qualify as short stories because they each reflect an event, history, and truth about the overarching event: the Holocaust. The author, don david Calderon y. Aroesty, chooses poetic prose to guide the readers through the tragic dimensions of the Holocaust by cherry-picking some exceptional heroes, heroines, and gratifying events through the duality of poetry and prose without solid metrical patterns but with rhythmic moderation of poetic expression. Remembrances come alive as a coherent and legitimate whole. No description of the criminality, suffering, and sadness would ever be sufficient. The author does not forget the bleakness and the horrors while challenging all of us to remember the shining lights, the occasional rays of human sunshine, extraordinary courage, and amazing bravery exhibited by some. The hybrid linguistic form becomes clear and legitimate, highlighted at the very beginning of the volume in the qualifications section where he asks the question and expresses his suspicion: How dare me, dare to write about the Holocaust? Who am I? The first philosophical question, which he answers with a dare to all of us to each undertake to study, learn, and write about the Holocaust. This is where the message of the book is strongly positioned. It is a message of deep humanistic, anthropological, and historical significance. Dr. Grandakovska teaches at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Department of Anthropology where her areas of specialization are comparative literature and interdisciplinary studies in the Holocaust and Jewish history. She served as one of the advisers to the author’s book of remembrances.

Download or read book Locating Suburbia written by Paula Hamilton and published by UTS ePRESS. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The identity of suburbia, so far as it can be ascribed one, is shifting and insecure, a borderline and liminal space. Dominant stereotypes have listed it as ‘on the margins’ beyond edges of cultural sophistication and tradition’ and the areas that make up ‘sprawl’. But in the twenty-first century this static view has to be modified. As is evident from this collection, suburban dwellers themselves have redefined themselves. This collection explores the range and complexity of twenty-first century responses to city suburbs, predominantly in Sydney. It draws on a range of approaches – from history to creative non-fiction and multi-media.

Download or read book The Final Four of Everything written by Mark Reiter and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by Mark Reiter and Richard Sandomir, and featuring contributions from experts on everything from breakfast cereal and movie gunfights to First Ladies and bald guys, The Final Four of Everything celebrates everything that's great, surprising, or silly in America, using the foolproof method of bracketology to determine what we love or hate-and why. As certain to make you laugh as it will start friendly arguments, The Final Four of Everything is the perfect book for know-it-alls, know-a-littles, and anyone with an opinion on celebrity mugshots, literary heroes, sports nicknames, or bacon. Bracketology is a unique way of organizing information that dates back to the rise of the knockout (or single elimination) tournament, perhaps in medieval times. Its origins are not precisely known, but there was genius in the first bracket design that hasn't changed much over the years. You, of course, may be familiar with the bracket format via the NCAA basketball tournament pairings each March. If you've ever watched ESPN or participated in a March Madness office pool, you know what a bracket looks like. The Final Four of Everything takes the idea one step further, and applies the knockout format to every category BUT basketball. In areas where taste, judgment, and hard-earned wisdom really matter, we've set out to determine, truly, the Final Four of Everything.

Download or read book Romantic Naturalists, Early Environmentalists written by Dewey W. Hall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his study of Romantic naturalists and early environmentalists, Dewey W. Hall asserts that William Wordsworth and Ralph Waldo Emerson were transatlantic literary figures who were both influenced by the English naturalist Gilbert White. In Part 1, Hall examines evidence that as Romantic naturalists interested in meteorology, Wordsworth and Emerson engaged in proto-environmental activity that drew attention to the potential consequences of the locomotive's incursion into Windermere and Concord. In Part 2, Hall suggests that Wordsworth and Emerson shaped the early environmental movement through their work as poets-turned-naturalists, arguing that Wordsworth influenced Octavia Hill’s contribution to the founding of the United Kingdom’s National Trust in 1895, while Emerson inspired John Muir to spearhead the United States’ National Parks movement in 1890. Hall’s book traces the connection from White as a naturalist-turned-poet to Muir as the quintessential early environmental activist who camped in Yosemite with President Theodore Roosevelt. Throughout, Hall raises concerns about the growth of industrialization to make a persuasive case for literature's importance to the rise of environmentalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Takes a local and regional perspective in looking back on the mountain’s history, the frenzied days surrounding the eruption, and its aftermath.” —The Oregonian In the spring of 1980, Mount St. Helens awoke from a century-long slumber with a series of dramatic changes. Most threatening was a bulge on the side of the snowy peak, pushing steadily outward. Near Spirit Lake, local resident Harry Truman refused to leave his lodge, even as scientists like David Johnston warned about potential destruction. On May 18, the mountain finally blew, enveloping whole communities in ash and smoke. Mudflows destroyed bridges, houses and highways, and fifty-seven people, including Truman and Johnston, lost their lives. Today, the mountain is quiet. Plants and animals have returned and hiking trails have been rebuilt, but the scars remain. Join author and journalist Jim Erickson as he recounts the unforgettable saga of the Mount St. Helens eruption.
