Book excerpt: Gyles n.pl. an obsolete spelling of guiles Brandreth n. a framework for support In The Joy of LEX, Gyles Brandreth lives up to his name by constructing a beguiling book with a framework of chapters ably supporting his contention that 'Words and the way we use them are what make us human animals unique. Or, to quote Bertrand Russell, 'No matter how eloquently a dog may bark, he cannot tell you that his parents were poor but honest.' And words and what we can do with them are what The Joy of Lex is all about. It is a wideranging and light-hearted celebration of our language - the richest, most diverse, most exciting and most entertaining language in the world.' For word buffs, for puzzle lovers, for anagram addicts, for crossword enthusiasts, for Scrabble players, for readers with an eye for the eccentric, and an ear for the unusual, this is the ultimate guide to the lighter side of the English language, written by a seasoned wordsmith and self-confessed verbaholic.
Book Synopsis The Joy of Lex: Life with a Service Dog by : John Thomas Clark
Download or read book The Joy of Lex: Life with a Service Dog written by John Thomas Clark and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2013-05-22 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Joy of Lex: Life with a Service Dog" is a light-hearted romp recounting life with Lex, a black Lab. Beginning with Lexie's being teamed with me and our schooling together at Canine Companions for Independence, the book then offers glimpses at our life together at home and shows how we interact with the outside world. Its vignettes, all accompanied by color photographs, describe life with the best service dog in the world: they reveal how Lex works -- tugging off my socks, opening a door, turning on a light, picking up my dropped mouthstick, and more -- tasks Lex was trained to perform. They even reveal how this intelligent dog performs tasks he was not trained to do, as when he saved me from certain injury by righting my wheelchair during a serious mishap. These poems also show how Lex plays and they demonstrate his marvelous personality. Sonnets in various forms, they are all straightforward; there is nothing deep in them except for the profound love I have for this wonderful dog who brings so much joy to my life.Dean Koontz, the author of many best sellers, said in his Introduction for "The Joy of Lex: Life with a Service Dog," "In this collection of sonnets, John Thomas Clark captures perfectly the details of his life with an assistance dog, relishes the beauty of small moments, and celebrates the grace that waits for us in every moment of the day if only we will open our eyes and our hearts to the recognition of it."Derek Mahon, a foremost poet of Ireland whose work enjoys worldwide acclaim, has said in his back-cover testimonial for "The Joy of Lex: Life with a Service Dog," "I am honoured to be associated with this book... It is... a pleasure to recommend this accomplished and original poet.""The Joy of Lex: Life with a Service Dog" has fifty-six poems which are accompanied by fifty-six color photographs. This book has been professionally edited by Diane Buccheri, Editor and Publisher of OCEAN Magazine and again by Eve Hanninen, Editor and Publisher of The Centrifugal Eye. Many of the thirty-five Lexie sonnets published in various literary journals and magazines are included in The Joy Lex. Others are published here for the first time.

Download or read book Foreseen written by Mary R.B.Greco and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-08-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who could have possibly foreseen that the day fifteen-year-old Violet Conti saved a young boy from a rolling cart was the day that would change her life irrevocably? The answer to this question is so much more complicated than even Violet herself could possibly imagine. Set in the 1950s, Foreseen follows its leading lady from rural Italy to London to New York City. On the fateful day that Violet saves the life of an English boy—Edward—she is in turn rescued from the clutches of her abusive father when Edward’s aristocratic parents, the Suttons, hire her to be their young son’s companion. Edward suffers from “nightmares” and is presumed to be mentally disturbed. But one day, Edward reveals to Violet that he has psychic visions. Violet makes him promise to keep it a secret between the two of them in order to protect him from being exploited or labelled a freak. Due to his clairvoyance, Edward is a kind of secret superhero. He foresees Violet encountering a dangerous snake. He anticipates a final love letter in the jacket pocket of a dead soldier’s uniform. Eventually, he divines aspects of Violet’s life she’s not sure she’d like to know about. As Violet grows into a young adult, she struggles to find her place in the Sutton household. Employee or family member? Defenseless child or empowered woman? A story of friendship, self discovery, heroism, and justice, Foreseen asks to what extent our actions determine our future, and asserts that life is best lived when choices are made out of love.

In Time of the Twins, Lex, an impulsive military cadet, and Livia, a pampered Airess, have just found out they are twins, which is against the law in the great City of Indra. Now they are leaving behind the only world they have ever known: for Lex, it was the dark world of the Hub below the surface of Indra, where she survived the brutal Orphanage to become an elite member of Indra’s Population Control Forces, and for Livia, it was a life of luxury on the sky island of Helix, where she was brought up to be a Proper Indrithian Young Woman. With help from the charming and handsome Kane, Lex’s best friend and Livia’s newfound love, and Zavier, a gruff rebel who would prefer to leave them all behind, they make the grueling trek through the dangerous underground tunnels toward the Outlands beyond the dome of Indra in search of the mother they thought was dead. When they finally reach the Outlanders' colony, they discover their mother holds the key to unlocking their past, and they must confront an ancient prophecy, “The Time of the Twins.” The prophecy claims they are the long-awaited “twin saviors,” destined to save the City of Indra from the oppressive High Council who have long reigned over all of its people. Will Lex and Livia agree to be a part of their mother’s dangerous plan and take on the daunting role of the “twin saviors”? Will they trust their mother and put themselves in jeopardy to save countless lives? It’s a responsibility they never asked for . . . but one that may prove impossible to ignore. With unforgettable characters, an action-packed pace, and the sparks of new romance, the Jenner sisters have created a page-turning, heart-stopping adventure that will leave you wanting more.
