Book excerpt: Short Story Press Presents Waiting For Martin by Ona Jo-Ellan Bass “Waiting For Martin” is set in a nebulous future-never in which catastrophic environmental change has returned ancient beings to earth, as well as raining down a disastrous helping of new ones. A family of children try to make their way home to their older brother, who is their guardian, when a bit of environmental fallout gets in their way. Some personal changes make the journey even more interesting for the one “normal” member of the family You will enjoy this story if you: • Enjoy reading mythology. • Like mystery stories. • Enjoy family oriented short stories. • Believe family member should take care of each other. • Believe in the power of love and self-sacrifice. • Have a family of your own. • Enjoy reading urban fantasy. • Ever believed there were fairies, little green men, or things that go bump in the night – even for a couple of minutes. • Like reading stories based on the Heinleinian writing principal of “what if”. • Relax by spending few tense moments reading about the troubles other people have and are glad yours are not that bad. This story is a tribute to the many hours my mother spent reading aloud and telling stories to me, and to the hours I have spent hearing the new stories written by my own children.

Download or read book Reinventing Food Banks and Pantries written by Katie S. Martin and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the US, there is a wide-ranging network of at least 370 food banks, and more than 60,000 hunger-relief organizations such as food pantries and meal programs. These groups provide billions of meals a year to people in need. And yet hunger still affects one in nine Americans. What are we doing wrong? In Reinventing Food Banks and Pantries, Katie Martin argues that if handing out more and more food was the answer, we would have solved the problem of hunger decades ago. Martin instead presents a new model for charitable food, one where success is measured not by pounds of food distributed but by lives changed. The key is to focus on the root causes of hunger. When we shift our attention to strategies that build empathy, equity, and political will, we can implement real solutions. Martin shares those solutions in a warm, engaging style, with simple steps that anyone working or volunteering at a food bank or pantry can take today. Some are short-term strategies to create a more dignified experience for food pantry clients: providing client choice, where individuals select their own food, or redesigning a waiting room with better seating and a designated greeter. Some are longer-term: increasing the supply of healthy food, offering job training programs, or connecting clients to other social services. And some are big picture: joining the fight for living wages and a stronger social safety net. These strategies are illustrated through inspiring success stories and backed up by scientific research. Throughout, readers will find a wealth of proven ideas to make their charitable food organizations more empathetic and more effective. As Martin writes, it takes more than food to end hunger. Picking up this insightful, lively book is a great first step.

Download or read book Going to Meet the Man written by James Baldwin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major collection of short stories by one of America’s most important writers—informed by the knowledge the wounds racism leaves in both its victims and its perpetrators. • “If Van Gogh was our 19th-century artist-saint, James Baldwin is our 20th-century one.” —Michael Ondaatje, Booker Prize-winner of The English Patient In this modern classic, "there's no way not to suffer. But you try all kinds of ways to keep from drowning in it." The men and women in these eight short fictions grasp this truth on an elemental level, and their stories detail the ingenious and often desperate ways in which they try to keep their head above water. It may be the heroin that a down-and-out jazz pianist uses to face the terror of pouring his life into an inanimate instrument. It may be the brittle piety of a father who can never forgive his son for his illegitimacy. Or it may be the screen of bigotry that a redneck deputy has raised to blunt the awful childhood memory of the day his parents took him to watch a black man being murdered by a gleeful mob. By turns haunting, heartbreaking, and horrifying, Going to Meet the Man is a major work by one of our most important writers.
