Book excerpt: As author Philip Meyer sat in a college class listening to a professor lecture about systematic tools for measuring things like trust in government, a thought struck him: a journalist could do this! He thought about the newsroom conversations hed had about the possibility of reporting on some interesting social phenomena. The group always ended with a shrug and a lament that there was no way to measure itbut he began to wonder. It was an epiphany for Meyer, who went on to report on the 1967 racial riots in Detroit and write the groundbreaking book Precision Journalism. While others were arguing that reporters should not use scientific methods to make conclusions of their own, Meyer was using computers and statistical software to elevate the standards of traditional journalism. At age fifty, he switched gears and entered the world of academe, where he continues to stir the pot. In Paper Route, he recalls two interconnected careers and examines how journalism, quantitative methods, and original thinking led him to live the remarkable life that hes still enjoying.

Book excerpt: Seventeen year old Gary Matthews faced the same old story: a new town, new school, making new friends. His father was an Air Force pilot and they had just been stationed in Homestead, Florida in 1958. Trying to avoid an unhappy home life and fill the void of his summer, Gary stumbles upon a job that will change his life: a colored paper route in Jim Crow Dixie. To his surprise, Gary soon makes scores of friends, from the elderly widow, Hattie Donovan to the vivacious Lucy Brown, to Ty Shaw and his days of Negro League Baseball and friendship with the legendary Satchel Paige, to an unlikely and dangerous romance with Joyce Rogers. Gary soon faces redneck bullies at school as well as the biases of his own parents. But when tragedy strikes, Gary is comforted by the love and affection of those on his route. His time on The Paper Route teaches Gary life lessons that will shape and guide him for years to come: love, compassion, sorrow, faith, hopelessness and the indignities of life amongst the poor. It is a remarkable, touching experience of warmth, kindness and learning how to see the world from another person's perspective.
Download or read book The Paper Road written by Erik Mueggler and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-11-02 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An absolutely breathtaking book -- in its thoughtfulness and imaginativeness, in the breadth and depth of the research which it entailed, in its geographical, cultural, and historical situatedness, and in its profound critical empathy for all of the key players. Beautifully and skillfully written.” – Sydney White, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Asian Studies, and Women's Studies at Temple University "The Paper Road is an eloquent, even haunting narrative of the relationships between colonial explorers/scientists and their native collaborators that makes vivid the theme of 'colonial intimacy.' It speaks to scholars working on Chinese minorities and frontier relations, to historians of comparative colonialism, to experts on Tibet and Buddhism, and probably also simply to lovers of tales of mountains and exploration." –Charlotte Furth, Professor Emerita of Chinese History , University of Southern California.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever had a special experience that you wanted to share with everyone? The Paper Route is just that""a true, once-in-a-lifetime story involving the author and her very ornery ten-year-old brother. Written from the perspective of a seven-year-old little girl, Loraine recounts how she helped her brother with an early morning paper route""in the dark, with no parents, and in the heart of a big city. The two of them develop confidence when they persevere in spite of real and imaginary challenges. Loraine learns that her brother's aggressive, self-willed traits (that she had despised so often), are exactly what made him a good leader. She is pleasantly surprised when her ornery brother ends up being her hero! It's a fun story, not only for young people. Those who were raised before cell phones and electronic devices are sure to enjoy the memories and humorous situations she shares. People of all ages can enjoy a little moment in time, as she takes you back to the way things were in 1966. Ironically, this endearing, light-hearted story is packed with serious lessons. Lessons that changed Loraine's way of thinking and taught her many concepts that help her deal with everyday life. Ask yourself the following questions before reading this book. Then ask yourself the same questions afterwards. See if you also glean the wisdom she did. Do you assume rich people are always snobs? That confident people are arrogant, self-serving, and think themselves as superior to others? Do you think rebellious people are nothing but troublemakers? Have you ever noticed how "bully" people can be your best friend in a crisis? What about parenting? Will you allow your children to take the easy way out when they encounter "real" challenges? As a parent, what is your attitude regarding your kids watching a horror movie? Are they "really" harmless? What about faith? If you were convinced a potentially dangerous experience would benefit your children, would you trust Jesus to keep them safe? What if you are a people pleaser, like Loraine was. Would you know when it's okay to be assertive to the point of being pushy or even aggressive? Are you convinced that reading for pleasure is not a waste of time? Do you read poetry? If not, why? Do you think poetry lacks honest value? There are a number of powerful concepts to learn from this story. Loraine's attitudes regarding these issues are forever changed. It's amazing what one can learn on a paper route!

Book Synopsis Cutural Routes management: from theory to practice by : Council of Europe
Download or read book Cutural Routes management: from theory to practice written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, the Santiago de Compostela Declaration laid the foundations for the first Council of Europe Cultural Route, highlighting the importance of our rich, colourful and diverse European identities. Today, the Council of Europe Enlarged Partial Agreement (EPA) on Cultural Routes oversees 29 routes connecting culture and heritage across Europe. Cultural Routes are powerful tools for promoting and preserving these shared and diverse cultural identities. They are a model for grass-roots cultural co-operation, providing important lessons about identity and citizenship through a participative experience of culture. From the European Route of Megalithic Culture with its monuments built as long as 6 000 years ago, to the ATRIUM route of Architecture of Totalitarian Regimes, the routes contain elements of our past which help us to understand the present and to approach the future with confidence. The Cultural Routes also stimulate thematic cultural tourism in lesserknown parts of the continent, helping to develop economic and social stability in Europe. This first ever step-by-step guide to the design and management of Council of Europe Cultural Routes will be an essential reference for route managers, project developers, students and researchers in cultural tourism and related subjects. It addresses aspects ranging from the Council of Europe’s conventions to co-creation, fund-raising and governance, and it explores a Cultural Route model that has evolved into an exemplary system for sustainable, transnational co-operation and that has proved to be a successful road map for socio-economic development, cultural heritage promotion and intergenerational communication. The Council of Europe EPA on Cultural Routes is the result of our successful co-operation with the Luxembourg Ministry of Culture and the European Union. Increasingly, other organisations, such as the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are joining this project. This handbook was funded by the third European Commission/Council of Europe Joint Programme on Cultural Routes.
