The governor of a New England state has died suddenly in an unwitnessed automobile accident. He was the coming man, widely mentioned for the presidency, a champion of the underprivileged, and especially of the younger generation, who had formed Robert Forrest clubs the country over. The shock and the sorrow over his death is nationwide. Steve O’Malley, ace war correspondent, whose passion for truth has got him kicked out of all the warring countries abroad, is at a loose end at home and is assigned by his paper to the job of writing the life of the man as he really was. Disastrously, he falls in love with Forrest’s young wife. What he finds, the development of the love affair, the rumble of great events in the background, make a tale of rare intensity.

Download or read book Keepers of the Flame written by Robert M. Hazen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For, Lo! We live in an Iron Age--In the age of Steam and Fire!" wrote a poet mesmerized by the engines that were transforming American transportation, agriculture, and industry during his lifetime. Indeed, by the nineteenth century fire had become America's leitmotif--for good and for ill. "Keeping the flame" was deadly serious: even the slightest lapse of attention could convert a fire from friendly ally to ravaging destroyer. To examine the cultural context of fire in "combustible America," Margaret Hazen and Robert Hazen gather more than a hundred illustrations, most never before published, together with anecdotes and information from hundreds of original sources, including newspapers, diaries, company records, popular fiction, art, and music. What results is an immensely entertaining and encyclopedic history that ranges from stories of the tragic "great fires" of the century to fire imagery in folktales and popular literature. Dealing more with technology than with fire in nature, the book provides a vast amount of information on fire manipulation and prevention in urban life. Hazen and Hazen discuss the people who worked with fire--or against it. Founders, gaffers, blacksmiths, boilers at saltworks, and housewives knew how to "read" a fire and employ it for their purposes. A few dedicated investigators inquired about the scientific nature of heat and flame. And firefighters gradually progressed from "bucket brigades" to "using fire to fight fire" with the newly invented steam engine. The colorful stories of these Americans--the risks they took and the rewards they received--will fascinate not only social historians but also a broad audience of general readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zane Obispo's new life on a beautiful secluded tropical island, complete with his family and closest friends, should be perfect. But he can't control his newfound fire skills yet (inherited from his father, the Maya god Hurakan); there's a painful rift between him and his dog ever since she became a hell hound; and he doesn't know what to do with his feelings for Brooks. One day he discovers that by writing the book about his misadventures with the Maya gods, he unintentionally put other godborn children at risk. Unless Zane can find the godborns before the gods do, they will be killed. To make matters worse, Zane learns that Hurakan is scheduled to be executed. Zane knows he must rescue him, no matter the cost. Can he accomplish both tasks without the gods detecting him, or will he end up a permanent resident of the underworld? In this cleverly plotted sequel to The Storm Runner, the gang is back together again with spirited new characters, sneaky gods, Aztec royalty, unlikely alliances, and secrets darker than Zane could ever have imagined. Secrets that will change him forever.
Book Synopsis Keepers of the Flame by : Stephen Hopgood
Download or read book Keepers of the Flame written by Stephen Hopgood and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If one organization is synonymous with keeping hope alive, even as a faint glimmer in the darkness of a prison, it is Amnesty International. Amnesty has been the light, and that light was truth—bearing witness to suffering hidden from the eyes of the world."—from the Preface The first in-depth look at working life inside a major human rights organization, Keepers of the Flame charts the history of Amnesty International and the development of its nerve center, the International Secretariat, over forty-five years. Through interviews with staff members, archival research, and unprecedented access to Amnesty International's internal meetings, Stephen Hopgood provides an engrossing and enlightening account of day-to-day operations within the organization, larger decisions about the nature of its mission, and struggles over the implementation of that mission. An enduring feature of Amnesty's inner life, Hopgood finds, has been a recurrent struggle between the "keepers of the flame" who seek to preserve Amnesty's accumulated store of moral authority and reformers who hope to change, modernize, and use that moral authority in ways that its protectors fear may erode the organization's uniqueness. He also explores how this concept of moral authority affects the working lives of the servants of such an ideal and the ways in which it can undermine an institution's political authority over time. Hopgood argues that human-rights activism is a social practice best understood as a secular religion where internal conflict between sacred and profane—the mission and the practicalities of everyday operations—are both unavoidable and necessary. Keepers of the Flame is vital reading for anyone interested in Amnesty International, its accomplishments, agonies, obligations, fears, opportunities, and challenges—or, more broadly, in how humanitarian organizations accommodate the moral passions that energize volunteers and professional staff alike.

She dreams of a fresh start at college, but when family tragedy strikes, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother Levi’s hockey team. Yet even as Daunis falls for Jamie, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug. Reluctantly, Daunis agrees to go undercover, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined, exposing secrets and old scars. At the same time, she grows concerned with an investigation that seems more focused on punishing the offenders than protecting the victims. Now, as the deceptions—and deaths—keep growing, Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go for her community, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.
Book Synopsis Keeper of the Flame: A Biography of Nina Simone by : Jennifer Warner
Download or read book Keeper of the Flame: A Biography of Nina Simone written by Jennifer Warner and published by Bio Shorts. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of Nina Simone is one of blocked paths and surprising detours. Some people are born to an obvious destiny, only to find that society, circumstance, and chance steer them onto an entirely different course. Had Nina been born at a different time, she could very well have been a superstar of classical music at an early age. However, the severe oppression of African Americans in the United States during the 1950s forced her to find her fate down a different road. That she did so with flair, grace, and brilliance speaks to the resilience of the oppressed spirit. Though she battled terrible oppression, the greed of managers and lovers, and her own mental illness, she refused to allow the trials of life to stand in her way. What she left behind is a testament to the power of the human spirit, beautifully recorded in song. This book tell her incredible story.

Book excerpt: If you were left with questions after reading "Hidden in Plain View" by Tobin & Dobard, this book has the answers. The 1st book done by Dr. Ozella William's family. It's a presentation of 5 generation's collective research. In the"Keeper of the Fire", they share age-old fabrics of internationally gathered photos of the quilt patterns on homes, art & people. Her European family is documented from 149 AD. This starts the documentation of Farrow-McDaniel's African history sources. They tell their own story.Few Americans read multi-lingual sources preserved centuries by international slavers. They piece a sampler quilt for you. Using common sense as binding, primary sources the stitching, gathering African metallurgy & symbols Mrs. Kemp exposes distortions/omissions.THE RESEARCH CONTINUES: Here is what they know. In 1844, Thomas Dover, willed Dover Hall Plantation estate to nephew, William D. Jenkins. Peter & Eliza Farrow, are listed among the subjugated workers.Serena mother's, (Mary Eva) great-grandparents survived slavery & had a son in 1850's. Named Peter Farrow Jr. after his father, he continued in service to his extended family & community. He shared Igbo culture with his children (Tom, Frank Nora & Jency), and his great grandchildren. Peter died in 1946 in SC. They have 6 generations living, the oldest turned 104, Aug. of 2014 & 5 family members in the 90's.MS. WILSON'S AUNT TRAVELED TO GERMANY: Aunt Ozella traveled to tour with her family several times. In Europe Ozella, would point out stolen African or purchased artifacts. Ms. Kemp also visited with Ozella in Los Angeles, CA for 2 weeks in 1975.The Quilt Code was not created in 1990's, Ozella (Mary Eva's sister) copyrighted the "Quilt Codes" in 1950, 6 years after her grandfather died. The late Mrs. Wilson & Mrs. T. Kemp re-applied & received the US Copyrights.2" KNOTS: Mnemonic devices used in quilts. Knots in quilts are similar to Catholic rosary, used as points of Godly contact. For centuries history was memory, songs, paintings, monoliths or in tapestries. Each method of recording are accepted worldwide as communication.In communicating with God for Igbo groups, everything can be used, as a way of making tangible the belief of protection over them.ONE FAMILY'S HISTORY: The Torah, Koran & Bible are stories of Abraham's family. Israel's presence in W. Africa, being taken worldwide for slavery, I guess does qualify as just "one families" story, Mrs. Kemp was told by her mother."I'm baffled why some American quilting & scholarly communities were confounded by the idea of maps & messages depicted in a quilt. We're not the only ethnic group who used textile maps. My children asked questions about racism & views of people doubting history of ancient African people. You speak textile language," noted Mrs. Kemp.Newspapers show people wanted to enslave Irish & German immigrants! "Nothing can change ignorance but education. Education doesn't change the mistakes made by not knowing history and not learning from previous bad behavior", said Mrs. Kemp. Igbo followed the Levitical Code. Everything is seen from Chukwu (God's) view. (Like "WWJD"-What Would Jesus Do)"Age is not excuse for idleness. Everyone has a duty to perform, some pray, some have strength, tools or knowledge, others time and money. Even if you don't need help now, sooner or later you'll benefit", says, Kemp.Teresa Kemp, 5th generation master quilter with her late parents, Dr. Howard & Serena Wilson, own one of the largest private collections. She exhibits, consults & collaborates worldwide. Teaching "freedom through obedience to God's Word", The mission-teach the "Golden Rule", delayed gratification & reconciliation skills to at risk-populations, one program at a time. Kemp still sounds the alarm, fighting modern day slavery called "Human Trafficking" with God driven intensity & zeal.

Download or read book Lilith written by Mary Blue and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story about womankind's natural role as guardians of the Flame of Spirit that dwells within the heart of all human beings. Lilith, the eternal root of the sacred feminine from humankind's spiritual genesis, symbolizes archetypally this role women once held by sacred design and divine intent. They were known as the Keepers of the Flame, those who oversaw and guided the way humans organized themselves in all affairs that governed their lives. The foundation for their way of life was based upon Natural Law versus man-made laws. One of its core principles was the universal practice of giving, sharing and including. The purpose of this work is to reach out to those who want to go beyond patriarchal conditioning by showing that the history we have been led and taught to believe as true, especially about womankind, is false. In fact, what is true about human nature and its original way of life came before the patriarchy, what is referred to as the matriarchy. The original archetype of Lilith is described based on the teachings of Jeffrey Wolf Green with the intent to help bolster and invigorate every woman's spirit by showing her the way back home to her own natural self; to stand again as one individual who exists as part of a group consciousness, the species human, interwoven into an even larger family comprised of all Earth's sacred beings, and by doing so, to reconnect to the Spirit that dwells within each and every heart linking all to her own, and to relearn how to speak its Truths with passion and conviction for the benefit of all. That is Lilith. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You will know truth when it speaks to your soul. It is a knowingness that simply exists beyond the words. As I read through the book, I felt an immediate resonance with the concepts put forth by the author. I learned, I absorbed, I embraced. Somehow I remembered. The remembering felt as natural as breath in, breath out. Great educators like Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell have described how ancient myths continue to inform and live on within our collective unconscious. Our great spiritual teachers, many of whom are referenced within the pages of this book, remind each one of us of our connection to universal source, to the divinity that exists within each one of us. They invite us to embark on the journey inward, to reconnect with our center, our soul, and with the source of all that is. In this luminous book, the author exquisitely and simply synthesizes the knowledge imparted by the spiritual masters regarding our Creatress force. She speaks of the transgender whole of the sacred feminine in its unfiltered and unconditioned version. This is not the Lilith story with the overlay of patriarchal conditionings that give an explanation for humanity's spiritual downfall, but rather that of her preHerstory - of the unified, fecund and regenerative Creatress seed from which all life has sprung. I invite you to allow your own knowingness to verify the truth contained within these pages. Don't read this book - experience it, for yourself, for your soul. . . .
