Book Synopsis All About Earthlings: The Irreverent Musings of an Extraterrestrial Envoy by : W. E. Gutman
Download or read book All About Earthlings: The Irreverent Musings of an Extraterrestrial Envoy written by W. E. Gutman and published by CCB Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aldous Huxley wrote: “If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion.” One might infer from this remark that seeing ourselves as others see us—and acknowledging our very obvious imperfections—is the beginning of true wisdom. Oscillating between parody, parable, and prophecy, ALL ABOUT EARTHLINGS is a work of hyper-realism. As author William F. Wu writes in his introduction, “[it] is journalist W. E. Gutman’s most chilling dystopia. The historical retrospectives that undergird his narrative and the apocalyptic inferences they evoke prompt Gutman to conclude that humans are neither able nor willing to control their collective destinies: Greedy, hedonistic and reckless, they are engrossed in the here-and-now of their personal lives. Scouring through humankind’s most sordid chronicles of cruelty and hypocrisy, corruption and apathy, suffering, despair and death, and extrapolating from the lessons they impart, Gutman envisions a scenario of otherworldly retribution that seems as fitting as it is horrible to contemplate. “His use of a science fiction device (he doesn’t maroon Earthlings on some faraway planet; instead, he transports an alien emissary to Earth and gives him a voice) only tends to harden the sinister nature of his auguries. In the process, Gutman takes on and unapologetically slays some mighty sacred cows: God; religion; the papacy; evangelism; imperialism; militarism; capitalism; corporatism; mercantilism, and consumerism, all of which, he reckons, incestuously conspire against peace and tranquility on Earth and which, should Earth survive the evils their combined influences wreak, could one day spread beyond its celestial frontiers.”

Book Synopsis A Literary Smorgasbord by : Migel Jayasinghe
Download or read book A Literary Smorgasbord written by Migel Jayasinghe and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was no question that this author looked up to the United Kingdom as his mother country, where he emigrated to, at the age of 26. Although Ceylon, his actual birthplace gained independence from the British Empire when he was just 12 years old (1948). At secondary school he regularly won the class prize for English and contributed stories and essays not only to the college magazine, but also to the children’s pages of local daily newspapers. Under the title ‘Rudderless Living’ the author paints a succinct autobiographical picture of the main events of his nomadic life. ‘Overland’ describes not only a trio’s trip by car to Mumbai, India, starting from Cambridge, UK, but also refers to important background events in the author’s life. Over the years he had been writing short stories merely as a hobby, and the reader can expect a wide variety of real life events, as well as futuristic fables, in this collection. His poems were mostly written after he retired to Spain, and reflects his daily life there. A few of his poems won recognition as ‘Honorable Mentions’ at various competitions. ‘A Literary Smorgasbord’ is the product of his literary heritage exhibiting an undoubted mastery of the English language. Although he did not succeed in attending the then one and only University of Ceylon, he later gained academic qualifications from the University of London, and worked as an occupational psychologist until retirement age. As assessed by British Mensa he has an IQ falling within the top 3% of the population. There is no question that this is reflected in the essays, stories and poems so uniquely presented in this volume, ‘A Literary Smorgasbord’. A worthy read. (c. 280 words)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a self-help book. It contains no strategies, tools, techniques or how-to's. It doesn't have a neat structure either - no beginning, middle or end. It is simply a series of random musings, posted as blogs across a couple of years, from a woman in Life's Third Act. A woman pushing 60, and living in England in the early part of the 21st Century. The ideas in this book have been transformational for me, and for 100's of clients around the world. They did something to wake me up to the wonder and magnificence of being fully alive. Isn't it funny? More than 50 years of seeking, working and trying - and it turns out to be this easy! ""A delightful collection of easy to read musings on how the inside-out understanding leads to personal happiness and business success."" - Michael Neil #1 bestselling author of The Inside-Out Revolution and The Space Within

Book Synopsis MUSINGS AT DEATH'S DOOR by : RAJA ARASA RATNAM
Download or read book MUSINGS AT DEATH'S DOOR written by RAJA ARASA RATNAM and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-03-11 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Musings at Death's Door: anancient bicultural Asian-Australian ponders about Australian society'. (Please note that royalties will be donated in toto to motor neurone disease research). In summary, the book (my sixth) sets out my considered conclusions fearlessly but fairly. It lays into the subservience and incompetence of our politicians, the sham of democracy as we experience it, the racket of asylum seeking, the professional ethnic, and the progressive breakdown of family, in the main. In contrast, I extol the egalitarianism of Australian society (a beacon to our neighbours), the incredibly successful integration of our diverse ethno-cultural communities, and the nation's maturation into a modern, cosmopolitan and tolerant polity. I then suggest that we join the USA, the benefits being undeniable; and an evaluation of our national icons to recognise the contributions of immigrants

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering look at the implications of Christian faith for foreign language education. It has become clear in recent years that reflection on foreign language education involves more than questioning which methods work best. This new volume carries current discussions of the value-laden nature of foreign language teaching into new territory by exploring its spiritual and moral dimensions. David Smith and Barbara Carvill show how the Christian faith sheds light on the history, aims, content, and methods of foreign language education. They also propose a new approach to the field based on the Christian understanding of hospitality.

Book Synopsis Jack the Ripper - A Smorgasbord of Suspects by : Dylan Frost
Download or read book Jack the Ripper - A Smorgasbord of Suspects written by Dylan Frost and published by epubli. This book was released on 2023-05-14 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack the Ripper was a serial killer active in the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. There were five 'canonical' murders of an unusually brutal nature. What makes the grisly saga of Jack the Ripper so enduringly famous and fascinating is that the case was never solved. To this day people are still coming up with new suspects and trying to solve this most famous of cases. The Ripper was not only lethal but remarkably clever or lucky at remaining undetected. This killer was definitely not someone you would wish to meet on a dark and misty Whitechapel night. In the book that follows we'll take a look at Ripper suspects and attempt to gauge who is credible and who isn't to see if we can make any sense of this most puzzling (not to mention harrowing) unsolved true crime case.
Book Synopsis Musings of a First Chinese Daughter by : Jennifer Lee Robertson
Download or read book Musings of a First Chinese Daughter written by Jennifer Lee Robertson and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a memoir of my traditional Chinese parents whose resilience and courage was representative of our pioneering forefathers. With their passing, I see the vanishing of the Old China which philosophical heritage, idealism and romance has shaped the Chinese mind for centuries. Our upbringing highlighted the importance of Respect and Responsibility within the context of a code of conduct. The book is a literary pastiche - a montage of my world in Australia juxtaposed against the exquisite brocade of the other world. Today's China is a vibrant part of our cyber-world, the impact of which could be encompassing on one's individuality. What kind of persons will our young generation and the future generations become.
