Download or read book We Were Next to Nothing written by Carl S. Nordin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2004-12-08 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 1, 1941, the author's unit was sent to the southern Philippine island of Mindanao to establish an air base. Less than six months later, on May 10, 1942, Sergeant Nordin was captured by the Japanese. For two years he was imprisoned on Mindanao before boarding a Japanese hellship destined for Moji, Japan. He spent the remainder of the war working on the railroad in Yokkaichi. Throughout his time in captivity, the author detailed the conditions and his thoughts on the camps in a secret diary that became the basis of this work. This powerful story recounts the horrors of the prison camps, the torturous journey on the hellship, and the little things that provided him and his fellow prisoners the strength to survive.

Download or read book God as Form written by Curtis Bennett and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1976-06-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In God as Form, Curtis Bennett discusses the nature of godhead, the function of image for art and religion expressive of its instinctive functioning in dream imagery, the radical distinction between the Greek and Christian views of incarnation, Xenophanes' disclaimer of the Greek human forms for divinity, Sappho's Hymn to Aphrodite, The First Olympian, and more. "Seeing the modern predicament not in the revolt of human will against God but in its rebellion against its own givenness, in the reversal not of values but of effect and cause, God as Form pushes hard against the limits of the exploratory essay. What rises in the memory, though, with the force of the 'realized' image as one lays down this book, are the readings of poetic texts from which the thesis springs: dawn breaking for immortals and mortals alike, the hall of the symposium, Sappho and Pindar in consonance across millennia with Whitman, Dickinson, Stevens. Demonstrating the claimed relation between poetry and theology in the critical act itself, these readings may one day do for literary criticism and the theory of poetry what Erich Auerbach's Mimesis has done in its time." — from the Foreword by Gregor Sebba
Book Synopsis First Days of the Year by : Hélène Cixous
Download or read book First Days of the Year written by Hélène Cixous and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inner journey across space and time linking the "author" to other poets, this lyrical essay-poem continues Helene Cixous's rewriting of notions of boundary, self, other, and author. Cixous here interrogates the status of the author, connecting distant instances of herself with other writers who traverse genders, generations, and national boundaries. First Days of the Year is a celebration of beginnings and future possibilities, based on necessity and hope, constantly mediating writing and living, life and death. Like all of Cixous's profoundly original works, it seductively leads the reader into a new way of thinking by disrupting fixed ideas of psychic identity, subjectivity, and language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two ten-year old boys and a nine-year old girl meet in Denver during the 1952 Huckleberry Finn fishing contest at Washington Park. They become fast friends and soon discover a cave in a nearby swamp that becomes the focal point for a summer of adventure that ends with a tragedy and a miracle! The three friends go their separate ways in life but reconnect, again in Denver, thirty-three years later. The girl, now a woman, hears Dr. Morris Massey advance the thesis: What you are is where you were when you were ten. She shares this concept with her old friends at their reunion and, as their lives intertwine again, they experience an even worse tragedy and a greater miracle! This exciting and fast-paced tale serves to validate Masseys theory for the reader. It also prompts worthwhile introspection, not only of ones own life, but the lives of those ten-year olds who may come under our influence.

Book Synopsis With Nothing Guaranteed by : R Mark Hayhurst
Download or read book With Nothing Guaranteed written by R Mark Hayhurst and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opportunities offered by university were seized by some as a road to a career; for others, it may have been a stepping stone into adulthood. With Nothing Guaranteed explores how experiences change quickly ideas with the journey into the real world; the comfortable norms of late teenage years and turning twenty-one are swiftly replaced by fresh and challenged ideals. In With Nothing Guaranteed, four characters arrive with their own baggage and a varying degree of expectation. David Chambers is the ultimate underachiever in an eclectic group. A journalist from a relatively ordinary family, Davids agenda is always steered by short-term personal satisfaction; he remains confident in his belief that one day a big journalistic scoop will come his way, but how will he react if his break doesnt come? Privately educated, Fiona Phillips plays down her privileged background, seeing her qualification as a dentist as being down to hard work. She doesnt rebel against her parents or their ideals and, certainly, follows her own path in life. Amanda McIntyre feels that she lives partly in the shadow of her academically more successful cousin, Fiona. The well-meaning Amanda is a sensitive woman who shied away from a career as a social worker after graduating; but does she come to realise that she can achieve more than life behind a desk? According to Simon Carpenters CV, hes an ambitious lawyer, but its clear that he rarely focuses solely on what he wants to achieve in the legal profession. He is a capable pair of hands, but as with his peers, his development is shaped in no small measure by those around him. For all of their individual strengths, none of the characters grasps the opportunity to break away from those around them and/or each other until they are affected by the wider world, and their perspectives begin to change.

Download or read book Think written by Lisa Bloom and published by Vanguard. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Lisa Bloom, the women and girls of today represent a stark paradox. While American women excel in education at every level, they likewise obsessively focus on celebrity media. While women outperform their male counterparts in employment in urban areas for the first time in history, they simultaneously spend countless hours staring in the mirror contemplating plastic surgery. Lisa Bloom fears that women are in danger of spiraling into a nation of dumbed down, tabloid media obsessed, reality TV addicts. Too often, they outsource matters to "experts" and in doing so neglect to truly think for themselves. The solution: Lisa Bloom has the solution and it involves one simple word: Think. In this provocative, entertaining, educational, and thoroughly researched book, Lisa outlines the ways that we as a society, and particularly women, have fallen off the intellectual path, and, very specifically, points to how damaging this has been to us on many levels. Lisa shows us the fallout--but she also provides the solutions for "Reclaiming the Brain God Gave You" and seizing back control of your mind and your life. Think is delivered in a no-nonsense manner that will make you laugh, make you question yourself, make you squirm, but, most important, make you start thinking again.

But it’s also a book about individual initiative, seizing opportunity, and never giving up even after government betrayal and setbacks that might appear insurmountable.

Book Synopsis Escape From Davao by : John D. Lukacs
Download or read book Escape From Davao written by John D. Lukacs and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest Pacific war stories never told. On April 4, 1943, ten American prisoners of war and two Filipino convicts—nicknamed the “Davao Dozen”—executed a daring escape from one of Japan's most notorious prison camps. Called the "greatest story of the war in the Pacific" by the War Department in 1944, the full account has never been told—until now. A product of years of in-depth research, John D. Lukacs's gripping description of the escape brings this remarkable tale to life. In this remarkable contribution to the realm of WWII POW narrative, Lukacs describes the dramatic escape for a new generation to admire the resourcefulness and patriotism of the men who fought in the Pacific. “Like the event it covers, Escape from Davao is unique. You are holding in your hands the story of the only successful American group escape from a Japanese camp.”—James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers

He believes strongly that everybody should do something becauseTORTURE and ABUSE MUST STOP.
