Book Synopsis The Etiquette of Freedom by : Gary Snyder
Download or read book The Etiquette of Freedom written by Gary Snyder and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2010-09-10 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary Snyder joined his old friend, novelist Jim Harrison, to discuss their loves and lives and what has become of them throughout the years. Set amidst the natural beauty of the Santa Lucia Mountains, their conversations—harnessing their ideas of all that is wild, sacred and intimate in this world—move from the admission that Snyder's mother was a devout atheist to his personal accounts of his initiation into Zen Buddhist culture, being literally dangled by the ankles over a cliff. After years of living in Japan, Snyder returns to the States to build a farmhouse in the remote foothills of the Sierras, a homestead he calls Kitkitdizze. For all of the depth in these conversations, Jim Harrison and Gary Snyder are humorous and friendly, and with the artfully interspersed dialogue from old friends and loves like Scott Slovic, Michael McClure, Jack Shoemaker, and Joanne Kyger, the discussion reaches a level of not only the personal, but the global, redefining our idea of the Beat Generation and challenging the future directions of the environmental movement and its association with "Deep Ecology." The Etiquette of Freedom is an all–encompassing companion to the film The Practice of the Wild.

With her young daughter in tow, Frances rents a home in Belgravia and prepares to welcome her sister, Lily, arriving from New York for her first London season. But no sooner has Frances begun her new life than the Metropolitan police receive an anonymous letter implicating Frances in her husband's death. Frances assures Inspector Delaney of her innocence, but she's also keen to keep him from learning the scandalous circumstances of Reggie's demise. As fate would have it, her dashing new neighbor, George Hazelton, is one of only two other people aware of the full story. While busy with social engagements on Lily's behalf, and worrying if Reggie really was murdered, Frances rallies her wits, a circle of gossips, and the ever-chivalrous Mr. Hazelton to uncover the truth. A killer is in their midst and Frances must unmask the villain before Lily's season, and their lives, come to a most unseemly end.
Book Synopsis Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politéness by : Florence Hartley
Download or read book Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politéness written by Florence Hartley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1860 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do unto others as you would others should do to you. You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be im polite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us ;a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; the.re can be no true, politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility. Many believe that politeness is but a mask worn in the world to conceal bad passions and impulses, and to make a show of possessing virtues not really existing in the heart; thus, that politeness is merely hypocrisy and dissimulation. Do not believe this; be certain that those who profess such a doctrine are practising themselves the deceit they condemn so much.

Book Synopsis Book of Common Sense Etiquette by : Eleanor Roosevelt
Download or read book Book of Common Sense Etiquette written by Eleanor Roosevelt and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The basis of all good human behavior is kindness," says Eleanor Roosevelt in this classic handbook, first published in 1962 as a "modern book of etiquette for modern Americans." As a politician, diplomat, and activist, as well as the longest-serving First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Roosevelt knew that thoughtful, civil behavior was essential to peaceful, productive relationships. In this etiquette guide, she teaches that decorum is not about strict adherence to formal rules; it is about approaching all social situations with consideration for others. She advises, "If ever you find yourself in a situation in which following a formal rule would be manifestly unkind, forget it, and be kind instead." Drawing from her personal and professional experiences, Roosevelt covers a broad range of topics, including business dealings and family affairs, writing letters and receiving guests, and entertaining at home and traveling abroad. Beginning with the necessity of good manners between husband and wife, she considers the importance of courtesy in society at large and the role all Americans play as ambassadors of democracy while visiting foreign countries. In an era of incivility, Eleanor Roosevelt's Book of Common Sense Etiquette is more relevant than ever.

I have seen Isabelle apply her etiquette secrets in several diplomatic settings and witnessed how she turned partisanship into friendship for causes that really matter.

Schaefer, Franklin Fellow, U.S. Department of State, and Chaplain, U.S. Army “I have traveled the world on business for decades. I wish Isabelle’s book had come out before I made some of the faux pas that are only humorous in hindsight. Some are costly. Thank you, Isabelle for helping the rest of us get it right!” - Brian J. Grim, Ph.D., Founder and President, Religious Freedom and Business Foundation "Business Etiquette Secrets is a fresh, well-structured book, providing the reader with a clear outline of absolutely all aspects of protocol. It is a must-read for anyone who aspires towards a professional ascension." - H.E. Cristina Balan, Former Ambassador of Moldova to the USA About the book: Business Etiquette has, for ages, helped people crack lucrative deals or get that dream job. The lack of knowledge of Business Etiquette, however, has led to people losing many game-changing, career and business growth opportunities. If you want to get noticed in a conference or a networking event, if you want people to walk up to you and say ‘Hello’, if you want to be surrounded by people when you talk, if you want to leave a lasting impression on influential people, if you want to learn how to communicate effectively (both verbally and in writing), then you need to become a master of Business Etiquette. Some people think that Business Etiquette is equivalent to the knowledge of table manners and which fork to use when, but fortunately, that is not the case. Business Etiquette is about standing out in the crowd, knowing exactly how to blow people’s minds, knowing exactly how to stamp yourself in people’s minds so that they remember you for a long time to come. Business Etiquette is about presenting yourself in such a way that people can’t take their eyes off you. Business Etiquette is about ruling the party, being the Hero, being the one everyone wants to talk to, mesmerizing everyone with your mannerisms, your style, your language, your approach. Strong knowledge about Business Etiquette can lead you to become the star of the show. ; Unfortunately, many think that only some have this ‘God Given’ talent. What they don’t know is that Business Etiquette Is A Skill That Can Be Developed. All you need to have are the right tools to build this muscle of Business Etiquette and you can become UNSTOPPABLE. This book gives you step by step instructions on how to build that muscle, especially focusing on ; - Differences between etiquette, protocol, politeness and good manners - Rules of business etiquette in oral communication - Rules of etiquette regarding business cards - Rules of etiquette in written communications - Protocol at social events. Hosting guests and VIPs ; - Dress codes and proper attire for men and women - Table etiquette. More than dining etiquette

Download or read book The Great Clod written by Gary Snyder and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the full course of his remarkable career, Gary Snyder has continued his study of Eastern culture and philosophies. From the Ainu to the Mongols, from Hokkaido to Kyoto, from the landscapes of China to the backcountry of contemporary Japan, from the temples of Daitokoji to the Yellow River Valley, it is now clear how this work has influenced his poetry, his stance as an environmental and political activist, and his long practice of Zen. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Asia became a vocation for Snyder. While most American writers looked to the capitals of Europe for their inspiration, Sndyer looked East. American letters is profoundly indebted to this geographical choice. Long rumored to exist, The Great Clod collects more than a dozen chapters, several published in The Coevolution Quarterly almost forty years ago when Snyder briefly described this work as "The China Book," and several others, the majority, never before published in any form. "Summer in Hokkaido," "Wild in China," "Ink and Charcoal, " "Stories to Save the World," "Walking the Great Ridge," these essays turn from being memoirs of travel to prolonged considerations of art, culture, natural history and religion. Filled with Snyder's remarkable insights and briskly beautiful descriptions, this collection adds enormously to the major corpus of his work, certain to delight and instruct his readers now and forever.
